After returning to Tianmen Peak, Bai Muxu continuously swept the area with his divine sense and quickly discovered that something was wrong with Tianmen Peak.
There was an abnormal aura within the formations, as well as Corrupting Grudge Qi permeating the cave dwellings. Someone had clearly played some tricks on Tianmen Peak.
"Who was it?"
Bai Muxu arrived before Li Tianwei's cave dwelling and carefully sensed the surroundings.
"While you were cultivating in the cave dwelling, did you notice anything unusual?"
After noticing something wrong with the spiritual qi inside, Bai Muxu immediately questioned Li Tianwei.
"What could be wrong? Nothing was wrong."
Seeing Bai Muxu's grave expression, Li Tianwei lowered his head and thought for a moment, but he could not find anything unusual.
There was, however, one thing that had felt right. It was the sensation from when he had comprehended Dao intent before. No matter how he searched during this period, he could never find that same feeling again.
"Tell me what you noticed while you were in the cave dwelling, as well as the two kinds of Dao intent you comprehended."
Feeling the lingering traces of dense Corrupting Grudge Qi, Bai Muxu understood that someone had definitely played some sort of trick on Li Tianwei while he had been away.
Moreover, whoever had acted was extremely familiar with all the formations and taboos of Tianmen Peak, leaving behind not the slightest trace.
If not for the immense power of his divine sense, he truly would not have detected it.
Li Tianwei had not expected Bai Muxu to ask about this.
Seeing that, he did not stand on ceremony and immediately began recounting in detail how he had attained enlightenment in the cave dwelling and comprehended two kinds of Dao intent.
Very quickly, Li Tianwei told him everything that had happened.
After finishing, Li Tianwei believed that his heaven-defying talent and sudden enlightenment would definitely give Bai Muxu quite a shock.
He slowly raised his head, intending to properly admire Bai Muxu's stunned expression.
Yet when he looked, Bai Muxu's eyes were full of disbelief. His eyeballs protruded slightly, and his small mouth hung open.
He looked shocked, but Li Tianwei felt that it was less shock and more utter dumbfoundedness.
Bai Muxu was indeed exactly as Li Tianwei had guessed. After hearing Li Tianwei's account, how could he merely be shocked?
Shock was the mildest of his emotions. He was completely bewildered and incredulous.
With Bai Muxu's Deity Transformation Realm strength, how could he fail to recognize the sudden enlightenment, ghostly whispers, lingering shadows, and strange phenomena Li Tianwei had described?
How could that possibly have been enlightenment? It was plainly a case of Corrupting Grudge Qi invading the body.
Not to mention anything else, in Bai Muxu's view, even someone of his realm would be severely affected if such Corrupting Grudge Qi invaded his body.
Let alone Li Tianwei, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Yet Li Tianwei had not taken it seriously at all. Instead, he had treated it as enlightenment, directly ignoring the deadly effects of the Corrupting Grudge Qi, absorbing it, and even using it to comprehend two kinds of Dao intent.
At that moment, Bai Muxu did not even know how to describe Li Tianwei's actions.
"Are you really all right?"
Bai Muxu looked Li Tianwei up and down, repeatedly probing his condition with divine sense as he asked.
"I'm fine! It's just that after that day, I could never find that feeling again. Sure enough, enlightenment is something one can encounter but never seek!"
Li Tianwei could not help sighing.
"Pfft..."
Hearing Li Tianwei say that, Bai Muxu nearly failed to hold it in.
What did he mean, he could not find that feeling again? Who cultivated immortality like that?
Who taught their disciple like that? You say he's my disciple? Then it's fine.
Bai Muxu forcefully suppressed the roiling emotions in his heart and took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Tianwei, there are some things you need to be careful about. You can't cultivate them..."
Seeing Li Tianwei in such a state, Bai Muxu could not possibly allow his disciple to stray down the wrong path. He intended to properly correct him.
Thus, Bai Muxu decided to use his status to carefully explain the situation of the Cultivation World to him.
That way, if Li Tianwei encountered Corrupting Grudge Qi again, he would not mistake it for enlightenment. No one could possibly be lucky forever.
Bai Muxu continued explaining, speaking of all sorts of strange and terrifying things in the Cultivation World.
Li Tianwei listened attentively, while his expression gradually grew more solemn.
"That's too terrifying. I never expected the Cultivation World to be like this."
"Corrupting grudges, Evil Demons, and these cultivators are actually so vile."
"No wonder the heavens and earth were filled with dead resentment qi when I attained enlightenment."
After hearing Bai Muxu's words, Li Tianwei could not help clenching his fists.
He even wished he could transform completely at once and use his own strength to change this terrifying Cultivation World.
Within Li Tianwei's mind, the system watched Bai Muxu's actions and Li Tianwei's abnormal train of thought.
For some reason, the system had a feeling that this world was about to be finished.
Although the system had much to say and dearly wished to correct Li Tianwei's twisted outlook on life, it seemed to already be too late.
So that was why I transmigrated here. Giving me cultivation was not merely to make me lead the entire Cultivation World against Evil Demons, but to make me completely change the entire Cultivation World.
He listened as Bai Muxu spoke about the dark corners of the Cultivation World.
In particular, everything corresponded one by one with the various lives he had sensed during his previous "enlightenment."
At that moment, Bai Muxu had no idea what sort of atmosphere his well-intentioned actions would bring to this Cultivation World.
I hope my good disciple listens to what I say and stops being so reckless and ignorant.
Bai Muxu thought this, intending to frighten Li Tianwei a little.
Bai Muxu's actions were perfectly normal. If an ordinary person heard him describe the various dark sides of the Cultivation World, they would become cautious in facing them and might even begin acting more steadily.
But Li Tianwei's way of thinking was anything but ordinary. He was confident, diligent, and persistent.
Once those words fell into his ears, they became proof that his arrival here, his transmigration, meant that as the protagonist, he was destined to suppress an entire age.
And now there was another task. As the protagonist, he had to sweep away evil. The Cultivation World was simply too ugly.
Since he had already transmigrated here, it could not possibly be only because of Evil Demons. Looking at it now, there were even more things to deal with.
Therefore, they had to be purged.
Thus, after Li Tianwei's so-called "enlightenment" and Bai Muxu's current explanation, he had already concluded that Evil Demons were only a minor problem.
In Li Tianwei's mind, he had previously regarded the Corrupting Grudge Qi as the thoughts of Sentient Beings. That was why he had comprehended the two Dao intents of death and resentment.
All this ugliness, along with those cultivators who would stop at nothing, seemed even worse than Evil Demons.
As for Bai Muxu, seeing Li Tianwei listening so earnestly, he assumed that Li Tianwei had taken his words to heart.
He had not taught many disciples to begin with, so he did not understand the importance of teaching according to one's aptitude, much less Li Tianwei's temperament.
I have a bad feeling about this.
At that moment, the system sensed all sorts of new thoughts and ideas constantly rising within Li Tianwei's heart and had already realized that something was wrong.
Stop talking, stop talking. Something huge is about to go wrong.
After hearing Bai Muxu's words, Li Tianwei finally understood what Bai Muxu meant.
"Looking across the entire Cultivation World, I have comprehended one word."
"Kill."
