Chapter 144: Had a Fated Connection With Me
"I don’t know why, but I felt that the matter you mentioned had an inexplicable fate with me."
Li Tianwei’s gaze fell on Liu Lingming. In truth, Li Tianwei also found it strange, because he did not know Liu Lingming’s elder brother at all.
Yet the moment Liu Lingming brought up this matter, Li Tianwei instinctively felt that it was somehow related to him.
But since it happened near the Demonic Sect Territory, perhaps it was because of the Demonic Sect Territory!
"One year ago, which was when I entered the sect."

Li Tianwei could not help but ask.
"Yes. To put it this way, if that group of disciples had not encountered problems, they would have been the same batch of new disciples entering the sect as Senior Brother Li."
Liu Lingming nodded as he replied.
At this point, Liu Lingming also subconsciously lifted his head to look at Li Tianwei. Who would have thought that this disciple whom he had tested back in White Profound City would reach the Golden Core Realm in just a single year, and even become the First Seat of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, able to oversee all matters of the Sacred Land.
Liu Lingming had indeed thought that with Li Tianwei’s Heavenly Spiritual Root, he would eventually become a powerful cultivator, though that would happen far in the future. By then he himself would probably have been sent away. Who could have expected such things!
Li Tianwei turned out to be this monstrous—far beyond anything that could be described as a Heaven-Defying Genius. What made Liu Lingming feel even more amused was that within the Sacred Land of Lingxu there were still rumors that Li Tianwei was actually not a Heavenly Spiritual Root but a False Spiritual Root, carrying an enormous secret.
A Golden Core within one year—never mind whether he was a False Spiritual Root, even if he did have issues, those issues would become no issues at all.
"A year has passed, and the Sacred Land still hasn’t finished handling the investigation？"
Li Tianwei felt slightly confused.
"Senior Brother Li had actually prepared to deal with it back then, but for some reason it was suppressed. If Senior Brother Li had not become the First Seat and swept away the filth hidden within the Sacred Land of Lingxu, this matter would probably still be buried under the files. That Golden Core expert was only dispatched recently to investigate it."
Liu Lingming hesitated for a moment before explaining the situation he knew.
"Is that so? It seems the Sacred Land still needs to properly reorganize its order."
After hearing Liu Lingming’s words, Li Tianwei’s face also turned somewhat unpleasant.
Someone like him simply could not tolerate even a trace of filth. A person should be kind! Everyone ought to be a bit virtuous.
"I will arrange this matter properly, investigate it clearly, and find the whereabouts of your elder brother."
Li Tianwei accepted the matter.
"Many thanks, Senior Brother."
Liu Lingming could feel the sincerity within Li Tianwei’s tone. He had also listened to Li Tianwei preach the Dao before and had felt the meaning represented within the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.
Li Tianwei gently nodded, and Liu Lingming then took his leave.
"This kind of inexplicable sense of fate is truly strange. I clearly never interacted with those people, yet there was a connection between us. Perhaps this is the butterfly effect！"
Li Tianwei rose to his feet, still feeling odd as he thought about that inexplicable connection he had perceived between himself and Liu Lingming’s elder brother.
Li Tianwei did not dwell on it. When the time came to investigate, he would naturally understand the cause.
——
Within the Sacred Land of Baiyuan, after the seal of the Evil Demons had been lifted, it also took some time before the Sacred Land fully recovered.
Compared to the Sacred Land of Lingxu, Li Tianwei had already completely eradicated the Evil Demons there, but the Sacred Land of Baiyuan still had many Evil Demons lingering.
One could even say it was far more severe than the Sacred Land of Lingxu. Several Evil Demons had occupied a few Out-of-Body Ancestors.
However, because Li Tianwei’s Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity had, through Same-Origin Connection with the Evil Demons, eroded quite a number of them, though he still had not eliminated all of them, it was enough for these Evil Demons to bear an irreconcilable grudge against him.
Thus, under the instigation of these Evil Demons, the Sacred Land of Baiyuan, along with the other two Sacred Lands, had already prepared to ambush Li Tianwei once again.
From the standpoint of the three Sacred Lands, they had already thoroughly offended Li Tianwei.
In their eyes, there was no longer the slightest room for reconciliation. If Li Tianwei were an ordinary Heaven-Defying Genius, that would be fine—the three Sacred Lands would not care.
But now, after the Evil Demons spread the news outside the Forbidden Land of Taixu about Li Tianwei having slain a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, the three Sacred Lands didn’t even need the Evil Demons to employ further tricks—they naturally united on their own.
In the view of the three Sacred Lands, they had thoroughly provoked him. By the common sense of the cultivation world, they could fully imagine that once Li Tianwei grew stronger, he would likely seek revenge on them.
Add to that his talent—Golden Core in one year, possibly Nascent Soul in three, Spirit Transformation in ten—he could kill a Spirit Transformation expert while still in the Golden Core Realm. Wouldn’t that mean once he reached Spirit Transformation, he might be able to kill a Tribulation Realm cultivator? Though unlikely, who would want such danger to exist?
Just thinking about it was terrifying, so absolutely they could not allow him to grow.
If Li Tianwei knew of the three Sacred Lands’ thoughts, he would probably sigh deeply—why bother! For matters like these, simply apologizing would do. Li Tianwei was not a petty person. As such a benevolent person, he would only cleanse their inner emotions and treat everyone kindly.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the three Sacred Lands, Li Tianwei was someone who repaid every slight with vengeance. After all, most cultivators in the cultivation world were like that.
As long as they cultivated stronger, they would think of repaying every grievance, one by one. After all, had they not cultivated for so long just to trample others beneath their feet and bask in dominance?
Within the Main Hall of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan, a group of ancestors sent from the three Sacred Lands to deal with Li Tianwei were gathered. Their gazes were focused on the figure seated at the main position, who was divining with a tortoise shell.
"Are you certain he will leave the Sacred Land？"
"Mm, he will leave the Sacred Land in a few days. At that time, it will be an excellent opportunity."
Looking at the information revealed upon the tortoise shell, the elder answered with absolute certainty.
"That shouldn’t be possible! The Sacred Land of Lingxu should be hiding him, not allowing him to leave again, and even less allowing us to divine him. Normally, those old fellows in the Sacred Land of Lingxu should be doing everything to conceal his karmic traces and movements. It shouldn’t be so easy for us to detect！"
Someone immediately raised a doubt, for the divination had gone far too smoothly—there wasn’t even any backlash. How could such information be believed?
Upon hearing this doubt, many others nodded as well.
The divining elder’s expression turned unpleasant, yet he also understood that what they said was true. Normally, divining was an extremely exhausting task, especially for someone with terrifying talent like Li Tianwei.
It should not have been so simple to calculate him.
"To be honest, I don’t know why. But when I divined him, I didn’t feel the slightest resistance, as if I were divining an ordinary person. He had no secrets at all—everything was perfectly clear. Normally, even an extremely ordinary cultivator would find a way to obscure his heavenly secrets, but he did not."
The elder revealed the situation.
The people in the Main Hall exchanged glances, seeing confusion reflected in one another’s eyes. Some even began to calculate with their own fingers.
Had they not calculated, it would’ve been fine—but once they did, their faces filled with astonishment.
Because, just as he had said, Li Tianwei did not have the slightest sign of concealment—utterly exposed.
