Chapter 145: Confidence Shines Bright
Normally, as long as one was a proper cultivator, they would choose to conceal their own heavenly secrets, lest someone with malicious intent use them to pry into everything about you—or even use them to curse you to death.
Even if you didn’t know how to hide your own heavenly secrets, your master or whoever guided your cultivation would at least help you cover them up a little.
Therefore, when these people came to the Sacred Land of Baiyuan, they were already prepared to spend quite some time breaking through Li Tianwei’s restrictions to uncover his condition.
Yet now, you’re telling us that with just a simple calculation, you can already divine it? Such blatant openness—no one had expected that.
Normally, every cultivator in the cultivation world would wish to completely conceal their heavenly secrets, hiding them as deeply as possible.
But Li Tianwei, on the other hand, was utterly unrestrained. He looked as if he wished everyone could calculate his situation; his whole being appeared as though he were radiating brilliance in the depths of the cosmos, broadcasting his existence to all.
Such confidence shone like light—it was as though he feared no one discovering his fate.
Such a person was either ignorant or possessed an extreme confidence that made concealment unnecessary.
Li Tianwei was precisely such a case. Anyone who saw it would be dumbfounded.
The people of the Three Sacred Lands probably never imagined that even though the Sacred Land of Lingxu had attempted to veil Li Tianwei’s heavenly secrets, all such concealments failed. Or rather, they didn’t exactly fail—the sheer magnitude of Li Tianwei’s external emanation simply could not be hidden.
Now, witnessing Li Tianwei’s state, even the experts from the Three Sacred Lands were filled with deep suspicion—
could something be wrong?
Such a situation defied all reason.
"Could this be a trap?!"
"Is the Sacred Land of Lingxu luring us in, planning to capture us all at once?"
"Then what should we do now?"
Because of this, the forces the Three Sacred Lands had prepared against Li Tianwei all fell into hesitation, uncertain whether they should seize this chance to strike at him.
"Everyone, let me ask you one question—do we have any choice in this matter?"
At this moment, the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan spoke.
That simple question awakened everyone. No matter what Li Tianwei’s true condition was, they had no right to choose otherwise.
Compared to directly attacking the Sacred Land of Lingxu, acting against Li Tianwei after he had left the Sacred Land—no matter what traps Lingxu might have set—was still far better than assaulting their territory head-on.
"Since we’ve already decided, why hesitate any longer?"
The Sacred Lord of Baiyuan spoke once more. The gathered cultivators exchanged glances; at that instant, they had already reached their conclusion.
——
Demonic Sect Territory.
In the region of Panshan City—once the residence of the Blood Fiend Sect—a place that had housed millions of blood slaves and served as a transfer hub among countless demonic cultivators.
After that massacre, all its former prosperity vanished.
Most importantly, the disappearance of millions of mortals had turned this place into a complete dead land.
Because of the terrifying legends surrounding it, no one dared to settle here again—it was deathly silent.
At this time, upon a secluded mountain peak, faint lines of formation patterns surfaced. Heaven and earth trembled slightly; ripples spread outward as violent spiritual power converged toward the spot.
If a formation master were here, they would have discovered that within this region lay a massive hidden formation.
Golden light flickered, violet light roamed—and soon, an enormous burst of energy was about to blow the area apart.
BOOM——
A deafening roar echoed. On what had seemed an empty mountaintop, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
That man stood suspended in midair, one hand clasped behind his back, the other holding a Wheel of Merit whose formation lines intertwined layer upon layer—so intricate that no one could tell how many arrays were fused together.
The radiance it emitted made the heavens and earth seem vast and unbounded.
He slightly lifted his head, and just that proud figure standing in the sky made one feel his extraordinary presence.
"It seems this teleportation formation still needs some improvement."
Li Tianwei gazed at the area to which he had been transmitted—the place had already collapsed and dissolved under the surging power.
The Radiant Wheel in his hand spun a few times before turning into a stream of light that merged back into his body.
"This aura still feels like home. Truly worthy of being the Land of Near Dao. It’s a pity the Demonic Sect occupies it... though that won’t be for long."
Li Tianwei took a deep breath, nostalgia flashing across his face as he sensed the spiritual energy of the Demonic Sect’s territory.
Back then, after being drawn into the Demonic Sect’s lands due to the Evil Demons’ interference, Li Tianwei had planned to set up formations here so he could visit occasionally, cultivating through this Land of Near Dao to hasten his own advancement.
Unexpectedly, because of his overwhelming talent and the massive amount of Immortal Energy he absorbed from the Forbidden Land of Taixu through the Saint Soul Banner, he no longer needed to come to the Demonic Sect’s lands.
After all, cultivating with Immortal Energy from the Forbidden Land of Taixu was far faster than using the aura here.
"Plans truly can’t keep up with changes."
Li Tianwei sighed softly.
"Next, I’ll head to Western Ling City—to find Liu Lingming’s elder brother and those disciples who have yet to be initiated."
Li Tianwei hadn’t come to the Demonic Sect’s lands to cultivate, but to handle this matter personally.
He had originally intended to send a few Nascent Soul Elders, but after thinking it through, he decided otherwise. From what Liu Lingming had said earlier, Li Tianwei sensed that this matter was closely related to himself.
Thus, he chose to leave the Sacred Land in person to resolve it.
"Go."
With a wave of his hand, the Radiant Wheel that had merged into his body reappeared, expanding in midair. After circling for a moment, it connected with Li Tianwei and carried him westward.
"Faster, faster."
The Book Spirit within the Radiant Wheel was operating at full speed. After recognizing Li Tianwei as its master and witnessing his terrifying aptitude, it had already transformed itself into the Three Thousand Converging-Heaven Intentions.
Whether anyone in the future could ever cultivate it—that was no longer within the Book Spirit’s concern.
Now, all it needed to do was serve as Li Tianwei’s Book Spirit; everything else no longer mattered.
Soon, under the Book Spirit’s full power, Li Tianwei traveled leisurely upon the Radiant Wheel and arrived above Western Ling City in no time.
Since Western Ling City sat at the intersection of the Sacred Land of Lingxu and the Demonic Sect Territory, it was a true no-man’s-land.
Here gathered cultivators, mortals, and even powerful demonic practitioners. Strictly speaking, the one truly controlling this city was still the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Otherwise, Liu Lingming’s elder brother would never have recruited disciples or tested aptitude for the Sacred Land here.
Looking down at Western Ling City below, Li Tianwei frowned slightly.
With the augmentation of the Wheel of Merit and the continual empowerment of the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, in Li Tianwei’s eyes the entire city was steeped in filth—an extraordinary corruption revealing how immense its sins were.
