Chapter 31: Superior-Grade Magical Treasure
Li Tianwei had walked around every peak of the Sacred Land, yet he completely failed to detect any problems among the cultivators.
It was as if the so-called Evil Demons were nothing but a fabrication.
Aside from that, all Li Tianwei kept hearing about was the Sacred Land’s so-called duels and competitions.
Sothing about “the prodigy of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan.”
Li Tianwei could practically grow calluses on his ears from hearing it.
As for that so-called prodigy of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan—
Li Tianwei felt he ought to offer a mont of silence for him.
To be born in the sa era as himself, and to be destined to be suppressed by him—how pitiful!
Li Tianwei sighed inwardly, feeling no sense of threat from those who wished to duel with him from the Sacred Land of Baiyuan.
However, the fact that he failed to detect the presence of the Evil Demons—
That was the first ti Li Tianwei’s expectations hadn’t co to fruition.
Even he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration—no wonder those things were said to be capable of eroding and destroying an entire world.
But then again! He would eventually sweep away everything in his path.
As Li Tianwei hid in the shadows, pondering, the System heard his inner monologue and could only roll its eyes countless tis.
Yet, even so, the System could do nothing about him and could only feel utterly helpless.
——
In the main peak of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Because the people of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan had arrived, the Sacred Land of Lingxu still upheld at least the most basic standards of hospitality.
After all, among the four great Sacred Lands of the Northern Spirit Domain, the distance between them wasn’t too far.
Over the past years, however, the Sacred Land of Lingxu had been pressing down on the other three.
At the very least, a certain amount of respect still had to be shown.
Of course, if they had known what the Sacred Land of Baiyuan was plotting, they would not have treated them so courteously.
At that mont, Xiao E of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan was in discussion with the Peak Masters of the Sacred Land regarding the upcoming disciple duel.
As a cultivator at the late stage of Spirit Transformation, he was considered one of the strongest forces in the current age—after all, cultivators of the Union, Out-of-Body, or Tribulation Transcendence Realms rarely appeared nowadays.
The Sacred Land of Lingxu showed him ample respect—Daoist Master Lan Yu and Bai Muxu, both Spirit Transformation cultivators, personally ca to receive him.
“Hahaha, Brother Bai, it’s been so long! I didn’t expect that after just over a hundred years of cultivation, you’ve already reached the sa realm as I.”
Seeing Bai Muxu, Xiao E greeted him in a friendly, brotherly manner.
Faced with Xiao E’s easy familiarity, Bai Muxu also cupped his hands and bowed slightly.
“Elder Xiao.”
“Brother Bai, I heard your disciple achieved Foundation Establishnt in a hundred days—truly reminiscent of your forr brilliance. I ca precisely because of that rumor.”
“Coincidentally, our Sacred Land of Baiyuan also has a prodigy who achieved Foundation Establishnt in a hundred days. Why don’t we have them compete?”
“It’s been a hundred years since disciples of our two Sacred Lands last fought. This is a good ti for another duel.”
Xiao E stated his intention with a grin.
“For the sake of friendship between our two Sacred Lands, this item can serve as a sweetener for the competition.”
As Xiao E waved his hand, a law wheel brimming with Dao essence appeared floating midair, radiating immortal light in all directions.
The elders and Peak Masters in the grand hall all revealed looks of astonishnt upon seeing the wheel.
“A superior-grade magical treasure.”
So elders couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.
“Hahaha, Brother Xiao, I didn’t expect you to be so generous. If we don’t accept it, it would seem as if there’s a rift between us.”
Even Bai Muxu couldn’t help but show emotion at the sight of this treasure.
This was sothing even Spirit Transformation cultivators found hard to obtain.
Across the entire Northern Spirit Domain, fewer than a hundred superior-grade magical treasures were publicly known—and almost all already had owners.
For the Sacred Land of Baiyuan to bring out such an item as a prize showed just how much faith they had in their prodigy.
“In that case, let us choose a date for the duel!”
Seeing Bai Muxu’s sudden change in expression, Xiao E rely smiled.
Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, and before long, the duel was set to take place three days later.
The crowd dispersed.
Xiao E returned to his lodging.
“Greetings, Elder Xiao.”
Upon seeing him return, Yuan Xixiao quickly greeted him.
Xiao E nodded slightly. “That Li Tianwei has already been invaded by the Filthy Resentful Aura. It seems he hasn’t yet realized the problem within himself.”
“In a few days, rember to use the luring technique I taught you. When the ti cos, let the Filthy Resentful Aura erupt completely. By then, even gods will not be able to save him.”
Yuan Xixiao’s face showed no emotion. He rely bowed his head slightly.
“A Hundred-Day Foundation… such innate talent! The Northern Spirit Domain cannot allow the Sacred Land of Lingxu to produce another like him.”
Xiao E clenched his fist, a ferocious glint flickering in his eyes.
Sensing Xiao E’s aura, Yuan Xixiao lowered his head even further, concealing his expression from view.
——
Where exactly were the Evil Demons? What kind of characteristics did they have?
As Li Tianwei muttered inwardly, he suddenly felt sothing.
Instinctively, he turned his head.
There stood Bai Muxu, robed in yin-yang colors and carrying a long sword on his back.
“Master.”
Li Tianwei greeted respectfully.
At that mont, Bai Muxu was staring at Li Tianwei intently, his brows slightly furrowed.
When his Divine Sense swept across Li Tianwei, he clearly sensed a strange aura within his disciple’s spiritual power—mixed with dense death energy and resentnt…
Such an abnormality—Bai Muxu actually couldn’t discern the cause.
However, in that instant, sothing ca to his mind.
“Dao Intent?”
Bai Muxu murmured softly, his voice trembling slightly.
He hadn’t expected that Li Tianwei had already comprehended Dao Intent.
Even he himself had only grasped one so far.
From Li Tianwei’s aura, it was clear he had already comprehended two.
To this day, Bai Muxu had never heard of anyone who could comprehend two types of Dao Intent while still in the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
“It seems the Sacred Land of Baiyuan will have to hand over another treasure to my disciple for free.”
Originally, Bai Muxu had co to teach Li Tianwei a few more spells to prepare him for the duel three days later. But now, having learned this, there was no longer any need—two Dao Intents were more than enough.
“Tianwei, you’ve done well. Keep up your efforts.”
Bai Muxu gently patted Li Tianwei’s shoulder in encouragent.
Caught off guard by the sudden praise, Li Tianwei rely nodded lightly.
Of course, he knew Bai Muxu had sensed his Dao Intent.
As for encouragent or praise—Li Tianwei no longer cared for those things.
Soone like him had long grown tired of being praised.
After all, he was a genius!
“I’m sure you’ve already heard—three days from now, you’ll duel a disciple from the Sacred Land of Baiyuan. Just do your best.”
“With your Hundred-Day Foundation and your comprehension of Dao Intent, defeating that disciple should be no problem.”
“Your disciple will do his utmost,” Li Tianwei replied while secretly sizing up Bai Muxu, wondering if this convenient Master of his could be one of the Evil Demons.
Most likely not.
If he were an Evil Demon, there’s no way he could restrain himself upon seeing soone as monstrously gifted as him.
“Since the duel is approaching, let’s return to the mountain.”
After speaking, Bai Muxu took Li Tianwei back to Heaven’s Gate Peak.
Li Tianwei hadn’t expected that after just leaving the mountain not long ago, he would return so soon.
“What’s going on?”
Upon returning, Bai Muxu’s expression turned unusually solemn. His eyes swept rapidly around, as if sothing extraordinary had happened on Heaven’s Gate Peak.
