Chapter 54: Could This Be the Land of Near Dao?
The might of the Divine Ability once again manifested its power.
With the blessing of the Dao Intent of Anger and the eruption of various secret techniques, Li Tianwei’s strength rose another level.
Just as Li Tianwei had thought, using World-Shaking Wisdom here would be too wasteful—World-Shaking Power, however, was just right.
Crack—
Soon, a crisp sound echoed.
The condensed black mist that had enveloped the Grand Hall—thick with the Filthy Resentful Aura—shattered like a broken mirror.
Seeing this scene, everyone below couldn’t help but grow excited.
After all, they could finally leave.
Anyone would feel elated.
Those in the Grand Hall hurriedly gathered closer.
At this moment, while breaking open the sealing barrier, Li Tianwei seemed to notice something.
His brows furrowed slightly.
At the spot where he had pried open the crack, the Resentment Force began to surge backward.
A suction force erupted from within the Grand Hall, and at the very place Li Tianwei had broken through, a view of the outside world appeared.
It was a bleak, dim, and deep region—
not the outer area of Burning Void Peak’s Grand Hall, but somewhere entirely different.
Seeing this, Li Tianwei frowned deeper.
“It seems the information from the System was correct. These Evil Demons can join forces to imprison an entire world, shifting it elsewhere—to trap their victims, or infiltrate and replace cultivators without being discovered.”
Though the outside was unfamiliar, Li Tianwei was confident.
At worst, it would simply take some time to fly back to the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Immediately, he once again exerted force, prying the crack wider.
Soon, the resentment within the Grand Hall began to disperse rapidly, streaming outward.
In an instant, wind and clouds surged within the Grand Hall’s sky.
Under Li Tianwei’s absolute power—the barrier that had trapped everyone shattered directly.
Violet lightning flickered, and the Spiritual Energy of the outside world surged violently inward.
Soon, the entire Grand Hall began to shake violently, all kinds of forces gathering within this confined space.
Seeing this, Li Tianwei immediately reached toward his storage ring.
With a flick of his hand, the Radiant Wheel, a superior-grade artifact, was instantly summoned.
Without hesitation, Li Tianwei activated the formations within it.
Layers upon layers of formation light rose up, completely shielding everyone inside the Grand Hall.
But at that moment, the Grand Hall could no longer endure the earlier devastation—
this displaced fragment of heaven and earth completely shattered.
Terrifying energy poured out in full.
Boom!
The ground trembled, the sky cracked; in an instant, the former Grand Hall dissolved completely.
A force vast enough to destroy everything caused the entire realm to quake, and the barrier imprisoning everyone exploded utterly.
Forming hand seals, Li Tianwei forcibly expanded the Radiant Wheel’s formation to envelop everyone.
Yet this was a spatial explosion after all—even with his protection, those originally trapped within the barrier were flung away by the shockwave, turning into streaks of light as they shot off in all directions.
Having arrived in a completely unfamiliar place,
Li Tianwei closed his eyes, feeling carefully.
For some reason, he actually felt a sense of returning home.
The Resentment Force, malice, and Spiritual Energy in this region were extremely violent.
Strangely enough, Li Tianwei felt that if he cultivated the Fission Qi-Guiding Method here, it would be twice as effective with half the effort.
Even more importantly—staying here gave him the feeling that he could gain enlightenment at any moment.
Such sensations spoke volumes of this place’s extraordinariness.
“Could it be… this is the Land of Near Dao?”
Having read countless novels in his past life, Li Tianwei naturally knew of places with special properties, and he immediately associated it with that name.
It was obvious—this strange land bore those very traits.
After all, only the Land of Near Dao could make him feel as though he could elevate his enlightenment in half a step.
Within Li Tianwei’s consciousness, the System, which had just been astonished by his feat of suppressing two Nascent Soul Devils with mere Foundation Establishment strength, hadn’t even finished its admiration before Li Tianwei displayed his extraordinary “wisdom” once more.
The System was speechless.
The reason Li Tianwei felt “enlightened” here—was simply because this place was saturated with Filthy Resentful Aura, violent Spiritual Energy, and rampant malice.
This Demonic Sect Territory was remote, and the demonic cultivators here had long crafted various methods that made the entire land brimming with fiendish energy and overflowing resentment.
At this point, even the System had no idea where exactly Li Tianwei had ended up.
Seeing the situation, the System finally spoke.
【Host, host! Leave quickly! This is the Demonic Sect Territory! The Evil Demons’ invasion here is far worse than in any of the major Sacred Lands. Out of ten cultivators, at least two or three have already been possessed!】
Hearing the System’s words, Li Tianwei didn’t react by leaving.
Instead, his expression grew solemn.
“To think these demonic sects occupy such a good place.”
【…………】
The System hadn’t anticipated that kind of response.
It froze for a moment.
Li Tianwei carefully felt the familiar aura of heaven and earth.
Here, he could enter enlightenment anytime—it was far faster than cultivating in the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
He hadn’t forgotten his small goal when creating the Three Thousand Converging-Heaven Intentions:
to ensure that after becoming immortal, he would possess three thousand Dao Intents.
To that end, he had set a minor goal—to comprehend at least a hundred Dao Intents before advancing to the Golden Core Realm.
And now, this place before him undoubtedly offered the chance to comprehend many more Dao Intents.
Thus, Li Tianwei decided to stay in this so-called Land of Near Dao to cultivate for a while.
【Host, host! Do you even know what you’re doing?】
【This isn’t the Sacred Land of Lingxu with mighty experts to protect you—this is a place filled with demonic cultivators who kill without batting an eye! And many Evil Demons besides!】
【Even a Nascent Soul Realm expert means nothing here!】
【Could you maybe not be this reckless?!】
Seeing this, the System immediately tried to dissuade him.
After all, having experienced two failures already, the System now valued caution and stability above all else.
“Shh. Quiet. I’m going to cultivate.”
Li Tianwei had long grown used to the System’s constant panic.
As for “danger” or “threats”—sorry, but so far, none of what the System warned him about had ever come true.
Didn’t it even say he had a False Spiritual Root?
【……I…】
For a moment, the System was speechless.
In fact, thinking it over, it realized—
indeed, none of its warnings to Li Tianwei had ever actually come true.
At this time, Li Tianwei was already sitting cross-legged comfortably in what he believed to be the Land of Near Dao, beginning his cultivation.
Meanwhile, because the barrier that had trapped them earlier had exploded, everyone else had been scattered to various different places.
However, the violent eruption of that barrier had been so conspicuous in the skies above the Demonic Sect Territory—that several figures immediately rushed toward the location of the explosion.
