Chapter 33: Comprehending Dao Intent Once More
“Kill.”
As this thought surfaced, killing intent filled Li Tianwei’s eyes.
Especially after hearing from Bai Muxu himself that cultivators would kill to seize treasures, kill to refine artifacts, and regarded all living beings under heaven as mere ants.
In the past, Li Tianwei had never felt much about it.
After all, that was exactly how things were written in the novels he used to read.
He had never experienced it personally, so it did not matter to him.
But at the moment in the cave residence when he cultivated and comprehended the Dao Intent of Death and Resentment, he personally experienced the deaths of his blood relatives, endured endless torment, and under the bizarre sensations of being torn apart, Li Tianwei’s mentality changed.
It could be said — all beings of the world raised countless cultivators, yet not one cultivator ever repaid a single thing in return.
“Kill, kill…”
If it were anyone else in this world, they would likely never treat the countless mortals as humans at all.
The moment they began cultivating immortality, they naturally separated themselves from the mortal realm.
Yet Li Tianwei’s thinking was far from normal — and he was someone from the modern world.
He would completely place himself in the shoes of the most ordinary person.
Therefore, in his eyes, the ugliness of cultivators was completely directed at him — and that was why he had to kill.
His resolve was absolute.
He had crossed into this world not only to eradicate the demons, but also to completely overturn all this ugliness.
Thick killing intent and thoughts surged endlessly from Li Tianwei’s body.
A scarlet aura of blood shrouded him, and the originally attentive Li Tianwei began to show strange changes.
Bai Muxu sensed the dense killing intent and the strange aura emanating from Li Tianwei.
“This is…”
Bai Muxu’s expression immediately changed.
He thought something had gone wrong with Li Tianwei, and upon sweeping his Divine Sense over him—
A surge of murderous energy erupted from Li Tianwei’s body.
It was as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood had emerged, like a sharp blade pressing against one’s throat.
“Dao Intent — the Dao Intent of Killing.”
Sensing that familiar aura, Bai Muxu instantly recognized it.
After all, he had once fought against a demonic cultivator who had comprehended the Dao Intent of Killing.
That man had slaughtered a million people just to comprehend it through endless carnage.
That demonic cultivator had been the only one Bai Muxu had ever met who could fight him on equal footing within the same realm.
And now, Li Tianwei was actually beginning to comprehend an entirely new Dao Intent merely through his words.
At that thought, Bai Muxu swallowed hard, unsure whether it was because his teaching was that good—or because Li Tianwei was simply too monstrous.
“But I was teaching him to be steady, to recognize the darkness of the cultivation world—how did it turn into him comprehending a Dao Intent, and one of killing at that?”
Bai Muxu was completely bewildered, but his hands did not slow down; he quickly cast a concealment spell to cover the disturbance.
Meanwhile, inside Li Tianwei’s mind, the System watched as he imagined overturning the entire world, slaughtering every cultivator in existence.
In such delusional fantasies, through endless self-hypnosis, he truly believed he had experienced everything amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The situation was almost identical to when he had tested his spiritual root — continuously hypnotizing himself into believing he possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
【Shameless.】
The System was well aware of Li Tianwei’s arrogance and delusions, but even it had to admit — his face was thicker than a wall.
At this moment, the System finally understood why “chunibyo” was considered a sickness — being able to deceive even oneself through sheer delusion was truly a talent.
As for Li Tianwei, he had no idea what the System was saying.
Right now, he had only one thought — he had comprehended again.
That’s right, he had comprehended again.
“As expected, my transmigration was meant to change all of this.”
“Kill. Only by killing can it all be stopped.”
Merely through imagination, without taking a single life, Li Tianwei — relying solely on his extreme self-hypnosis — had comprehended an entirely new Dao Intent.
“Kill.”
Li Tianwei suddenly opened his eyes.
Endless killing intent overflowed from his black pupils, causing Bai Muxu’s heart to tremble.
At that moment, Bai Muxu thought Li Tianwei had succumbed to demonic influence and was about to help suppress his inner demon.
Before he could act, the killing intent in Li Tianwei’s eyes and aura completely dissipated.
There was no trace of it left — as if everything before had been an illusion.
The thick killing intent vanished in an instant, his eyes returning to their pure, clear state.
Seeing Li Tianwei suppress his killing intent in the blink of an eye, without being overwhelmed by the Dao Intent of Killing, Bai Muxu could not help but nod lightly.
Inwardly, he thought he had truly taken in an extraordinary disciple — one with a pure heart.
If the System in Li Tianwei’s mind knew what Bai Muxu was thinking, it would probably want to spit in his face.
A pure heart?
More like pure nonsense — utterly shameless.
“Thank you for your guidance, Master.”
Looking at Bai Muxu before him, Li Tianwei recalled that feeling just now and couldn’t help but express his gratitude.
In his eyes, he had found an excellent teacher — one who could even help him comprehend Dao Intents.
The two master and disciple each had their own thoughts.
However, Li Tianwei found it odd that all the Dao Intents he comprehended were rather strange — Death, Resentment, and Killing.
But upon thinking it through, he understood: Death and Resentment came from the collective will of all beings, filled with death and sorrow.
As for Killing — that arose from his firm Dao Heart to overturn everything.
Li Tianwei believed there was nothing wrong with his understanding.
After all, he had always scored full marks in reading comprehension since primary school.
【Bullshit.】
At this point, the System could no longer hold it in — utterly suffocated by Li Tianwei’s thought process.
It simply couldn’t imagine how such a person could exist in the world — and yet this person happened to be its host, someone it couldn’t even control.
As for Li Tianwei, he had long since muted the System, unable to hear a thing it said.
When Bai Muxu heard Li Tianwei’s words, he was completely at a loss himself.
He didn’t even know where exactly he had “guided” him.
All he had done was talk about how cruel the cultivation world was.
“Ahem, to comprehend Dao Intent — it is due to your extraordinary talent.”
Even so, Bai Muxu did not show any expression, simply coughing lightly and nodding in a profound, mysterious manner.
Hearing this, Li Tianwei felt very satisfied.
Unlike the Book Spirit or the System, Bai Muxu could recognize his brilliance.
Worthy indeed of being the strongest elder of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
“I shall conceal the traces of your Dao Intent first.”
“As I said before, the cultivation world is dark. With your talent, you will surely draw the envy of other forces — they might even capture and refine you.”
Bai Muxu swept Li Tianwei with his Divine Sense, sensing the traces of three Dao Intents on him, and immediately spoke.
“Thank you, Master.”
Li Tianwei nodded lightly.
Bai Muxu immediately began to act.
Behind him appeared a phantom figure, radiating golden light — a magnified version of Bai Muxu himself, exuding a divine aura so overwhelming that one dared not look directly.
That phantom raised its hands and formed a seal.
A beam of light pierced through heaven and earth, surrounded by countless runic patterns.
“Heaven and Earth conceal qi, divine power veils the heavens…”
As Bai Muxu chanted, the countless runes transformed into streams of light and, in an instant, poured into Li Tianwei’s body.
