Chunibyo in Cultivation World
Chapter 332 ·Since It Is Matter, It Can Be Touched
Originally, after seeing Li Tianwei, the feeling that the Great Dao had become empty had already made Shamentian feel incredulous.
And now, as Li Tianwei lowered his eyes and over two thousand Dao Intents emerged, each one had reached the limit of Dao Intent.
Such a vast number of Dao Intents was completely unimaginable. How could someone accomplish such a thing?
The more Dao Intents one possessed, the harder they became to cultivate. It was no longer something that could be achieved by simply enduring through time. Even existences like them, Existence Immortals who had lived through several Era Cycles, even if they devoted themselves entirely to cultivating Dao Intent, could only possess a few hundred at most.
At this number, Shamentian even began to suspect that he was dreaming.
After the shock passed, Shamentian finally came back to his senses. It seemed that he had asked something just now.
He asked me about Jidu Tian and Existence Immortals?
Thinking of this, Shamentian could not help but shudder and swallow.
“Impossible, right?”
“This person isn’t an immortal from this Era Cycle, is he?”
Shamentian immediately thought of this possibility. Otherwise, how could he possibly not know about Jidu Tian and Existence Immortals?
The Great Dao struggle of this Era Cycle had yet to begin! The immortals of this Era Cycle were unaware of information regarding Existence Immortals and various hidden secrets.
Therefore, the fact that this unknown existence could ask such a question meant that he was not an Existence Immortal, but an immortal from the current era.
This was not the most important point. After all, Shamentian himself had experienced the changes of several Era Cycles.
The immortals of the current Era Cycle were born in response to the times, and their growth would be faster than that of Existence Immortals and Ancient Immortals.
They were also the protagonists of this era. Even so, it did not mean that immortals of the current Era Cycle could become powerful to this extent.
Shamentian truly could not imagine the real answer.
As Li Tianwei’s Dao Intent pressure descended, he saw Shamentian standing there absent-mindedly without replying.
Seeing this, Li Tianwei took a step forward. Behind him, the starlight formed by Dao Intent emerged, and within it, a universe appeared. A vortex of chaos emerged and continuously revolved.
The terrifying pressure descended upon him.
Shamentian, who was still shocked, immediately felt an immense pressure.
His entire body trembled, and even the soul that had already been completely stabilized was forcibly pulled out.
Circular radiance after circular radiance emerged. Shamentian did not even possess the strength to resist.
Facing this situation, Shamentian knew that the person before him possessed the power to completely erase him.
Facing this situation, Shamentian immediately made his choice.
“Senior, Senior, Existence Immortals are existences like me.”
“Because I relied on certain methods to barely survive from several Era Cycles ago. Precisely because I have lived through several Era Cycles, continuously using methods to avoid death and survive throughout different Era Cycles, those who live through this method are called Existence Immortals.”
“As for Jidu Tian, it is the force I belong to.”
Shamentian did not conceal anything at all. These matters were not secrets, and there was nothing worth hiding.
Once the time arrived, all the sleeping immortals, Ancient Immortals, and Existence Immortals would emerge.
The current situation was merely a little earlier than expected.
Shamentian believed that it would not take long before the immortals of this Era Cycle learned about Existence Immortals.
After all, as more and more Existence Immortals awakened, they would begin joining forces with the immortals of the current Era Cycle and compete for the world in this Era Cycle.
“Era Cycle?”
Li Tianwei continued asking.
“An Era Cycle is used as a unit of time. One Era Cycle contains one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years. We combine ten Era Cycles into one great cycle, and this period is called an Era Cycle.”
“And this one million two hundred ninety-six thousand years is the time of the Great Dao struggle.”
“Every round will provide an opportunity to transcend the Great Dao.”
“Because qualifications are limited, in order to pursue this chance of transcendence, those of us who failed to compete in previous Era Cycles use methods to avoid the world and arrive at later Era Cycles to compete again.”
“Because we survive through existing in the world, we are called Existence Immortals.”
Shamentian revealed everything regarding Era Cycles.
After listening to Shamentian’s explanation, Li Tianwei also understood Shamentian’s identity and situation.
Li Tianwei had not expected that this False Immortal Realm possessed such a system, with repeated cycles of competing for the Great Dao.
However, in Li Tianwei’s view, the False Immortal Realm was still only the False Immortal Realm.
The Great Dao struggle, the pursuit of transcendence—
These things were all insignificant. They were merely patterns formed by the passage of time.
Therefore, after hearing everything, Li Tianwei’s expression remained exceptionally calm. It seemed that learning about this matter had not caused even the slightest ripple in his emotions.
Although Shamentian’s thoughts were unsettled due to Li Tianwei’s terrifying strength, he still constantly observed Li Tianwei’s condition.
He originally thought that Li Tianwei would show some reaction after hearing this information.
After all, during the Era Cycles he had lived through, he had witnessed countless geniuses and those who competed for supremacy in every Era Cycle.
For example, the Immortal Heavenly Court Lord of the previous Era Cycle had unified the Immortal Realm and fought against a million immortals in the struggle for supremacy. Even those powerful forces that had existed for several Era Cycles and continuously grown stronger did not dare easily confront him.
Even he had inevitably become excited after learning this information.
The struggle of the Great Dao, the opportunity for transcendence.
Such an opportunity could only be encountered and not sought.
Although he had failed in the struggle for supremacy, he had once suppressed countless powerful forces that had existed throughout countless Era Cycles, making even them unable to breathe.
Yet the existence before him seemed even more terrifying than that Immortal Heavenly Court Lord.
Whether it was the feeling of his Dao becoming empty with a single glance, or those two thousand Dao Intents—
Now, even after learning about the Great Dao struggle of Era Cycles, he remained unmoved.
It could only be said that this Great Dao struggle would have another troublesome existence.
“No, not merely troublesome.”
Suddenly, Shamentian seemed to have thought of something.
What he thought of was that strange thing he had cultivated before—the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.
This method was extraordinary.
Not only was it a method that directly faced the Great Dao, but it was also something capable of causing a tremendous upheaval.
If the immortals of the current Era Cycle cultivated it, he could completely imagine what kind of terrifying changes the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity would bring.
Before Shamentian could finish struggling with his thoughts, Li Tianwei had already arrived before him.
Looking at Li Tianwei standing before him, Shamentian’s entire body stiffened. He could not move even slightly.
Li Tianwei slowly raised his hand and pointed at the center of Shamentian’s brows.
Immediately, ripples spread outward from his forehead.
Under Shamentian’s perception, he could clearly feel that the person before him was currently pulling out the soul that had merged with this body.
“Senior, Senior, you cannot! If you pull it out, I will die.”
“This physical body will also collapse.”
Seeing this situation, Shamentian immediately shouted, hoping to stop Li Tianwei’s actions.
Unfortunately, Li Tianwei acted as if he had not heard him and continued forward.
It could even be seen that Li Tianwei’s hand directly entered Shamentian’s forehead and went inside his skull.
“Consciousness, thoughts, all things possess form. They are merely existences transformed into matter.”
Li Tianwei had heard Shamentian’s words and naturally knew that continuing this action would result in collapse, just as Shamentian said.
However, that was only the case according to the circumstances of the Immortal Realm and these mystical powers.
For Li Tianwei, aside from these mystical powers, he also possessed control over the human body, matter, and thought.
Since spiritual power was matter, consciousness naturally was as well. Otherwise, why would consciousness constantly transform between states? All of this was merely the transformation of matter.
“I can touch it.”
After saying this, Li Tianwei’s consciousness sank deeper. Using his physical hand, he directly reached into Shamentian’s brain.
“If it is matter, then it can be touched, and it can be grasped.”
After preparing this thought, Li Tianwei’s hand entered Shamentian’s brain, moving, turning, and kneading.
What was most unimaginable was that as Li Tianwei’s hand continuously touched and kneaded, the situation Shamentian had believed would cause collapse was actually suppressed.
From Shamentian’s perspective, it felt as if his soul was being held in someone’s hand through some strange method.
This was merely the beginning.
Li Tianwei continued moving his hand within Shamentian’s brain.
If someone could see through Shamentian’s body and observe his brain, they would see Li Tianwei’s hand continuously pulling and manipulating his brain, massaging every fold and every region.
That was right. Li Tianwei was currently using a physical method, using direct contact with matter, to pull Shamentian out from within.
Through spiritual energy and the various methods of the Immortal Realm, Shamentian had already completely merged with this body and occupied it. It was fundamentally impossible to separate them.
However, in the world Li Tianwei had once lived in, were there not methods of slicing brains and dealing with brain problems through physical means?
If one had to describe it, Li Tianwei had performed a minimally invasive operation on Shamentian’s physical brain.
Shamentian also could not understand what exactly was happening.
When he regained his senses, he saw Li Tianwei’s blood-stained hand pulling him out from the body he had occupied.
“Ah! This, this???”
Shamentian stared blankly at Li Tianwei before him. He truly could not imagine what method Li Tianwei had used to extract him.
After all, the methods of these Existence Immortals were techniques left behind by a former transcendent existence. They could completely replace everything belonging to the people of the current Era Cycle.
This was not something that could simply be undone at will.
Everything from the origin of cause and effect had already been replaced.
Although it was indeed possible to forcibly pull him out, what was pulled out would only be the soul. What Li Tianwei accomplished was not only extracting him, but even preserving the body he had occupied.
“How did you do it?”
Shamentian involuntarily asked while looking at Li Tianwei.
“Since a material existence can be touched and understood, I naturally have a way to change it.”
Li Tianwei looked at Shamentian and said.
Afterward, Li Tianwei pointed at Shamentian’s soul.
In an instant, countless pieces of information floated out from his soul.
Very soon, all this information was arranged before Li Tianwei. After continuously scanning and organizing these pieces of information, Li Tianwei already understood everything about Shamentian.
“Jidu Tian’s Heavenly Lord? Buddhist Sect’s Sheng Yan……”
Through Shamentian’s information, Li Tianwei learned about the Existence Immortals that had currently appeared.
The level of chaos within the entire Immortal Realm was even more severe than Li Tianwei had expected.
“Evil Demons, and those unknown existences outside as well—are they all here because of the Great Dao struggle?”
“I did not expect that among the immortals of previous Era Cycles, there were also those who were not human. But that is normal.”
Through this information, Li Tianwei also learned many more hidden secrets.
Among them was the situation of Jidu Tian, the force Shamentian belonged to. This Jidu Tian was also extraordinary. It was a force that had existed since ten Era Cycles ago.
Shamentian had joined it during previous Era Cycles. His purpose was to continue surviving, and he had no intention of competing for supremacy.
Therefore, he was merely an Existence Immortal who followed orders.
Within Jidu Tian, the strongest existence was the Heavenly Lord. During these ten Era Cycles, Jidu Tian had successfully competed for supremacy in the fifth Era Cycle, causing two existences to transcend during that Era Cycle.
After that event, once the current Heavenly Lord took over Jidu Tian, he had already failed five times. This was his final opportunity.
Because of this, he had already begun using every possible method, continuously absorbing new members from different Era Cycles in preparation for his final gamble.
As for the final result, the Heavenly Lord no longer cared.
Currently, Jidu Tian’s Existence Immortals were arranged throughout the Immortal Realm, preparing to seize the initiative.
Through this information, Li Tianwei estimated that Jidu Tian’s Heavenly Lord would awaken after ten thousand years.
After learning this, Li Tianwei’s eyelid twitched.
“Ten thousand years? I should have already become an immortal long ago by then.”
“Sigh, the False Immortal Realm! The aptitude of these people is somewhat poor!”
Li Tianwei could not help but sigh.
Although Li Tianwei did not know what realm this so-called Heavenly Lord had reached, judging by his own speed of reaching Spirit Transformation Realm in two years, he estimated that becoming an immortal would not take him many years.
After becoming an immortal, then pursuing that so-called transcendence?
“Transcendence? Isn’t it simply separation?”
“How could cultivation possibly be for something like this?”
“There is a problem with this path.”
“It is fine. I will correct it.”
Li Tianwei muttered.
As for Shamentian, although he did not know what method Li Tianwei had used, he understood that everything he knew had probably been obtained by Li Tianwei.
“Senior, Senior, this is everything I know. What we immortals seek is nothing more than transcendence and eternal life. I am willing to serve you as my master.”
Shamentian immediately knelt before Li Tianwei.
“Serve me as your master? I do not like such behavior.”
Li Tianwei’s gaze fell upon the kneeling Shamentian.
“Senior, you mean?”
Hearing Li Tianwei say this, Shamentian thought that Li Tianwei intended to spare him, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.
Before he could finish rejoicing, Li Tianwei smiled.
Shamentian also smiled toward Li Tianwei.
Then he saw Li Tianwei directly take out a banner with the sun and moon revolving upon it.
Seeing this banner, Shamentian was so familiar with it that he could not be more familiar. After all, he had also refined this kind of item before.
Through the Yin energy on it and the occasional wails coming from within, Shamentian could completely determine that this thing was a Myriad Soul Banner.
Moreover, it was an extraordinary Myriad Soul Banner.
Shamentian’s mouth twitched. Then Li Tianwei’s voice slowly echoed.
“Perhaps you can enter here and properly cleanse your own sins.”
Li Tianwei took out the Sun–Moon Banner and directly waved it toward him.
The current Sun–Moon Banner had already completely perfected the Netherworld Bureaucracy within it. It even contained an entire world inside and had long since reached the level of a Supreme Treasure of Immortal Dao.
To trap an immortal like Shamentian was merely a trivial matter, not to mention that it was also suppressed by Li Tianwei.
