Chapter 32: Comprehending a Single Word: “Kill”
After returning to Heaven’s Gate Peak, Bai Muxu’s divine sense continuously swept across the mountain, soon discovering that something was wrong.
The strange aura within the formation and the filthy resentful energy permeating the cave residence clearly showed that someone had tampered with Heaven’s Gate Peak.
“Who was it?”
Bai Muxu arrived at Li Tianwei’s cave residence, carefully sensing the surroundings.
“When you were cultivating in the cave residence, did you notice anything unusual?”
After noticing that the spiritual energy inside the cave was abnormal, Bai Muxu immediately asked Li Tianwei.
“Unusual? Nothing seemed wrong.”
Seeing Bai Muxu’s solemn expression, Li Tianwei lowered his head and thought for a moment but still couldn’t find anything out of place.
However, there was one thing worth mentioning—the feeling he had when he first comprehended Dao Intent.
No matter how he tried, he hadn’t been able to rediscover that feeling since.
“Tell me everything that happened in your cave residence, and explain the two Dao Intents you comprehended.”
Sensing the lingering traces of strong filthy resentment, Bai Muxu knew that someone must have secretly made a move against Li Tianwei during his absence.
Moreover, the one who did it was extremely familiar with the formations and restrictions of Heaven’s Gate Peak, leaving behind not a single trace.
If not for Bai Muxu’s divine sense being so powerful, even he wouldn’t have noticed it.
Li Tianwei didn’t expect Bai Muxu to ask about that.
Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate and began recounting in detail his moment of enlightenment and how he comprehended the two Dao Intents within the cave residence.
Very soon, Li Tianwei finished telling the entire story.
After speaking, Li Tianwei believed that the description of his enlightenment and comprehension would surely shock Bai Muxu.
He slowly raised his head, ready to appreciate the look of astonishment on Bai Muxu’s face.
Yet when he looked up, Bai Muxu’s eyes were wide with disbelief, his eyeballs slightly bulging, his mouth slightly agape.
It looked like a shocked expression, but Li Tianwei somehow felt it wasn’t shock—it was pure stupefaction.
Indeed, Bai Muxu was exactly as Li Tianwei thought.
After hearing Li Tianwei’s experience, how could he merely be shocked?
That was far too mild.
What he felt was utter bewilderment and disbelief.
With Bai Muxu’s strength at the Spirit Transformation Realm, how could he not see through what Li Tianwei described—the shadowy murmurs and strange visions during his so-called “enlightenment”?
That was no enlightenment at all!
It was clearly the state of being invaded by filthy resentment!
Even someone at Bai Muxu’s level would be greatly affected if such filthy energy invaded his body—let alone Li Tianwei, who was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Yet Li Tianwei not only dismissed it as nothing serious, he even mistook it for enlightenment—directly ignoring the deadly influence of the filthy resentment, absorbing it instead, and using it to comprehend two Dao Intents!
At this point, Bai Muxu didn’t even know how to describe Li Tianwei’s behavior.
“You’re sure you’re fine?”
Bai Muxu looked Li Tianwei up and down, scanning him repeatedly with divine sense, and couldn’t help asking.
“Of course I’m fine! It’s just that ever since that day, I can’t find that feeling again. As expected, enlightenment is something that can’t be forced.”
Li Tianwei couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.
“Pfft…”
Hearing this, Bai Muxu nearly lost control of himself.
What did he mean, can’t find that feeling again? Who cultivates like that?
Who trains disciples like that? …Well, he supposed it was fine since this was his disciple.
Bai Muxu forcefully suppressed his boiling emotions, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
“Tianwei, there are some things you need to be careful about. You can’t cultivate like…”
Seeing Li Tianwei’s situation, as his master, Bai Muxu naturally couldn’t let him stray further down the wrong path. He intended to correct him properly.
So, taking advantage of his authority as master, Bai Muxu began to explain in detail the realities of the cultivation world.
He wanted to prevent Li Tianwei from mistaking filthy resentment for enlightenment ever again—after all, one couldn’t always be so lucky.
Bai Muxu went on at length, describing the many bizarre and terrifying aspects of the cultivation world.
Li Tianwei listened attentively, his expression gradually becoming more serious.
“How terrifying… I never thought the cultivation world would be like this.”
“Filth, evil demons, and these cultivators are so wicked.”
“No wonder when I was enlightened, the heavens and earth were filled with the aura of death and resentment.”
Hearing Bai Muxu’s words, Li Tianwei clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could immediately transform and change this horrifying cultivation world with his own strength.
Meanwhile, the System within Li Tianwei’s mind silently observed both Bai Muxu’s words and Li Tianwei’s uniquely twisted train of thought.
For some reason, the System suddenly had a very bad feeling—that this world might be doomed.
Even though it had countless things it wanted to say—desperate to correct Li Tianwei’s warped worldview—it already felt that it might be too late.
“So, you let me transmigrate and gave me this cultivation path not only to lead the cultivation world against the evil demons… but also to change it entirely.”
As Bai Muxu continued explaining the dark corners of the cultivation world—each of which corresponded eerily to what Li Tianwei had sensed during his so-called enlightenment—
At that moment, Bai Muxu had no idea what kind of trend his well-intentioned lecture might set for the entire cultivation world.
“I just hope my good disciple will take my words to heart and stop being so reckless and ignorant.”
Bai Muxu thought this to himself, intending only to scare Li Tianwei a little.
His actions were perfectly reasonable—any normal person, after hearing such grim truths, would become cautious and steady.
But Li Tianwei didn’t have a normal mind.
He was confident, diligent, and persistent.
In his ears, those words became proof that he—the transmigrated protagonist—was destined to dominate the world.
Now, there was one more mission for him: as the protagonist, he must sweep away all evil.
The cultivation world was far too corrupted and ugly.
He had transmigrated here—not just to fight evil demons, but to cleanse everything.
Therefore, after his so-called “enlightenment,” combined with Bai Muxu’s explanation, Li Tianwei concluded that the demons were merely a small problem.
In his mind, he had once mistaken the filthy resentment for the collective will of all living beings—thus comprehending the Dao Intents of Death and Resentment.
To him now, the ugly and corrupt cultivators of this world were even worse than the demons.
Meanwhile, Bai Muxu, seeing Li Tianwei listening so earnestly, thought that his disciple had understood.
Having taught few disciples, Bai Muxu didn’t understand the need to teach according to one’s aptitude—nor did he understand Li Tianwei’s nature.
【I have a bad feeling about this.】
At that moment, the System sensed Li Tianwei’s rapidly evolving thoughts and realized something was very wrong.
【Stop talking… stop talking! This is going to cause a disaster!】
After listening to Bai Muxu’s words, Li Tianwei finally understood what he meant.
“Looking over the entire cultivation world, I have comprehended a single word.”
“‘Kill.’”
