Cultivators Were Short-Sighted

"Report it first. Let's see how to handle this."

Watching the demonic qi soaring into the heavens in the distance, Xu Yuansheng contacted the Nascent Soul elders stationed alongside him.

When these people saw the scene in the distance, their expressions also turned grave.

They had never expected that, under such circumstances, a demonic cultivator would arrive. Moreover, the aura was somewhat strange. Though it was incomparably sinister, it carried not the slightest trace of blood balefulness or karmic burden.

It looked exceedingly sinister, yet possessed a unique cleanliness and purity.

That was what these Nascent Soul elders thought as well.

At the same time, they could not understand how someone with demonic qi soaring to the heavens had made it all the way to the front of Lingxu Sacred Land.

Very soon, the aura rapidly drew closer. At that speed, only a cultivator of at least the Nascent Soul Realm could possibly travel so fast.

The Nascent Soul elders stationed there had already prepared for a fierce battle.

Before long, the source of that surgingly sinister aura revealed its true form.

In the distance, a streak of spiritual light tore through the sky and came hurtling toward them.

The Nascent Soul elders wore solemn expressions, for they could tell that the Spirit Light Wheel speeding toward them seemed to be a High-grade magical treasure—no, perhaps something of an even higher grade.

From afar, they could already sense the treasure aura of the Spirit Light Wheel, as well as the several figures standing above it.

Xu Yuansheng, however, was different. He recognized the figure on the dharma wheel in the distance.

"Damn it, doesn't that kid know how to rein it in?"

"He's really this arrogant?"

Seeing the scene before him, Xu Yuansheng was startled by Li Tianwei's behavior.

But on second thought, being so arrogant and making no attempt whatsoever to conceal the Demonic Arts he cultivated would instead make people think less of it.

After all, more than a hundred years ago, Lingxu Sacred Land had fought its way into Demonic Sect Land. Though they could be considered victorious, they had suffered greatly under the many methods of those demonic cultivators.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you need not fear a hundred battles. Quite a few people in Lingxu Sacred Land had begun studying demonic cultivators' cultivation methods. Some had even cultivated both righteous and demonic paths, and truly produced quite a few things on that foundation.

Thus, many cultivation methods seized from the demonic sects appeared within Lingxu Sacred Land. Many cultivators of Lingxu Sacred Land would also practice them. So long as they did not harm others or violate the fundamental order of heaven and earth, Lingxu Sacred Land simply turned a blind eye.

Even some elders of Lingxu Sacred Land practiced them.

But others at least concealed it somewhat. As for this Li Tianwei... for a moment, Xu Yuansheng did not know how to describe him. Was he really not afraid of encountering some righteous-path powerhouse who would, at the slightest disagreement, slay demons and defend the Dao?

"How did he make it safely all the way to Lingxu Sacred Land?"

This question also arose in Xu Yuansheng's mind. After all, in his eyes, Li Tianwei possessed a Pseudo-Spirit Root.

Perhaps in the eyes of these Lingxu Sacred Land powerhouses, a genius was naturally allowed to be somewhat special.

Though he was puzzled inwardly, once Xu Yuansheng remembered that Li Tianwei was his colleague and that this concerned the Heavenly Demon Cult's arrangements, he understood that he absolutely could not let anything happen to Li Tianwei.

Thinking this, Xu Yuansheng immediately spoke up to stop the Nascent Soul elders beside him who were preparing to attack.

"Elders, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. That man is Li Tianwei, disciple of Tianmen Peak's master."

Hearing Xu Yuansheng's words, the elders immediately stopped. Some looked at the aura emanating from Li Tianwei in astonishment.

Had they not known Li Tianwei's identity just now, they would only have thought him some insignificant scoundrel from who knew where, brazenly displaying such an aura on Lingxu Sacred Land's territory.

But now that they knew Li Tianwei's identity, they suddenly felt that he carried himself with considerable bearing. Even cultivating Demonic Arts, he had cultivated them with such style.

At once, their earlier doubts over how Li Tianwei had made it all the way to Lingxu Sacred Land were answered.

A genius in the Foundation Establishment Realm who could fight an Evil Demon at the Nascent Soul Realm—however he cultivated, it was not excessive. This was perfectly normal. Which genius did not have some distinguishing trait? Li Tianwei merely looked a little more sinister, that was all. Perfectly normal!

Thus, after Xu Yuansheng confirmed it and the elders examined him, determining that Li Tianwei had no major issues, they allowed him to enter the sect with the Evil Resentment qi soaring from his body.

Li Tianwei must have been discovered by Lingxu Sacred Land's upper echelons as soon as he stepped onto its territory. Otherwise, with such a strange aura all over him, how could he have returned to Lingxu Sacred Land without hindrance?

Bai Muxu, who was also on Tianmen Peak, sensed Li Tianwei's approaching aura. It was roughly the same as what the two grand elders of Lingxu Sacred Land had predicted before.

Had he not known the reason Li Tianwei had comprehended those strange Dao intents, Bai Muxu would probably have regarded him as a great demon as well.

"He really isn't concealing even a fraction of it. Does he truly think he's cultivating the Righteous Law? And the most important part is that I taught him this."

Bai Muxu already wanted to cover his face.

"Hm? He has comprehended another kind of Dao intent."

Suddenly, Bai Muxu detected another aura of Dao intent on Li Tianwei, and surprise appeared on his face.

"I need to send him to Taixu Forbidden Land as soon as possible. If he can comprehend a Divine Ability there, he will have a better chance than I do."

As for Li Tianwei, he returned to Lingxu Sacred Land without obstruction all the way. The first thing he did upon returning was arrange for the ordinary people inside the Sacred Soul Banner.

Several million people—how many cities would have to be built to settle them all?

Fortunately, this was a world of immortal cultivation. With cultivators' capabilities, reclaiming wilderness and expanding cities were simple matters. At worst, they could cast a few spells.

Li Tianwei actually found this rather speechless. Cultivators' power could clearly change everything, even drive the entire society forward, yet this era still remained in an agrarian, feudal age.

In Li Tianwei's view, these people were truly too short-sighted.

But after thinking it over carefully, Li Tianwei felt that it was normal. Cultivators pursued longevity and ascension to immortality. Everything else was useless and would only delay them, so naturally these cultivators would not waste spells on mortals.

But in Li Tianwei's eyes, such thinking seemed problematic. Unfortunately, he understood that this was not something he could change right now. In the future, however, that might not be the case.

Li Tianwei thought this matter-of-factly. Meanwhile, the cultivators working for him ahead suddenly felt a chill run down their backs. They did not know why, but they had the vague feeling that a miserable life awaited them in the future.

To deal with these several million people, Li Tianwei found several places suitable for building cities within the major nations on Lingxu Sacred Land's territory.

With Li Tianwei's current strength, building several cities was simple enough. It was merely a matter of various spells.

In Li Tianwei's eyes, the power of the Five-Colored Heavenly Spirit Root was telling him that he was an all-round talent. Perhaps he could even become an architect in the future.

Over the course of several days, he raised cities, allocated land to several million people, and provided enough food and seeds. From then on, they would have to rely on themselves.

After finishing all this, Li Tianwei returned to Tianmen Peak, intending to properly ask his cheap master whether there was some good place where he could quickly comprehend Dao intent and raise his cultivation.

For example, a place close to the Dao like Demonic Sect Land. Demonic Sect Land had such a fine place, so how could Lingxu Sacred Land possibly not have one?

His strength had to improve, and he also had to fulfill the requirement of a hundred kinds of Dao intent.

After all, when he fought that Nascent Soul peak fellow possessed by an Evil Demon in Panshan City, Li Tianwei had felt the slightest bit strained. Though he had suppressed his opponent throughout the battle, he had not killed it instantly, which truly left him uneasy.

Clearly, his current cultivation and various cultivation methods were already beginning to fall behind the rest of his abilities.

Who knew what expression others would have if they learned of Li Tianwei's thoughts?
