Chapter 38: Resentment Power Connecting to the Heavens
Li Tianwei was extremely satisfied upon obtaining the Resentment Channeling Curse, eager to test it out immediately.
Just as Li Tianwei was feeling excited, Bai Muxu and the other elders hurried over.
“Disciple, are you all right?”
Bai Muxu first swept his Divine Sense over Li Tianwei.
After all, the eruption from earlier had been far too terrifying—enough to drain countless Foundation Establishment cultivators dry.
Even though Li Tianwei had completed the Hundred-Day Foundation and forged the Supreme Dao Foundation, possessing power several times greater than others of the same realm, as well as the protection of Dao Intent, there was still the possibility that something could have gone wrong.
However, after scanning him with Divine Sense, Bai Muxu fell silent.
The weakened state he had expected from Li Tianwei after using such an explosive technique had not appeared at all.
Instead, the power within his body felt especially dense, as though it had hardly been consumed.
“No problem.”
Li Tianwei had no idea what Bai Muxu was thinking.
Even if he knew, he would have considered it normal.
After all, his Fission Qi-Guiding Method, through his research, allowed the spiritual energy within his body to function like nuclear fission—constantly colliding and multiplying.
With just a trace of spiritual energy, he could transform it into a massive amount of spiritual power.
Of course, it was a bit uncomfortable being so “full,” but in Li Tianwei’s view, wasn’t cultivation supposed to be like this?
Thus, after that explosive consumption, Li Tianwei recovered quickly.
His ability to unleash such terrifying power came from the surging resentment within him that kept multiplying and stacking.
“Are you sure you’re fine?”
Sensing the abundant spiritual power still brimming in Li Tianwei’s body, Bai Muxu couldn’t help asking again.
This was his beloved disciple—if something happened to him, that would be unacceptable!
“No problem, just some Dao Intent consumption.”
To convince Bai Muxu, Li Tianwei even performed a thorough self-examination.
The violent spiritual power within him continued fissioning and converting, filling in any issues in his body.
Only his Spirit Platform and flesh would occasionally collapse, but with the Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao, it wasn’t a major issue.
His Dao Intent was somewhat scattered and depleted, that was all.
Li Tianwei reported truthfully, lowering his voice as well—after all, Bai Muxu had warned him not to reveal too much Dao Intent.
“I see. As long as you’re fine. This is your reward for victory.”
Confirming that Li Tianwei was unharmed, Bai Muxu finally took out the Radiant Wheel that Xiao E had given earlier.
Li Tianwei’s eyes followed Bai Muxu’s hand.
The rotating wheel shimmered with treasure light, countless formation patterns stacked upon each other layer by layer—it drew his attention instantly.
“This is the Radiant Wheel, a high-grade magical treasure. Even Spirit Transformation cultivators may not possess such a treasure.”
“This artifact is composed of hundreds of offensive formations. By inserting Spirit Stones or infusing spiritual power, it can activate a Five-Element Formation, harnessing the power of the Five Elements. With your strength, it can unleash Golden Core Realm power, even allowing you to cast higher-grade spells through it.”
Seeing Li Tianwei’s interested gaze, Bai Muxu explained the artifact’s abilities.
After listening, Li Tianwei couldn’t help but take it.
Once in hand, the surging spiritual power within and the shining formation lines shimmered brilliantly.
“Many thanks, Master.”
After examining it up and down, Li Tianwei clasped his hands toward Bai Muxu in gratitude.
“All right. Leave the remaining matters to us. You should rest well. If anything feels off, contact me immediately with the jade token.”
Bai Muxu handed a milky-white jade token to Li Tianwei, then turned to discuss matters with the other elders.
Li Tianwei carefully stored everything away, but compared to those items, he was far more eager to explore the power of the Resentment Channeling Curse.
He had already mastered it after Yuan Xixiao’s instruction earlier.
When he tested it briefly, he discovered that this Resentment Channeling Curse was no ordinary spell—it could draw upon the Dao Intent of Resentment within his body, linking it to the heavens and earth, thereby triggering an explosive surge of resentment energy.
Combined with his constantly fissioning internal state, as long as he had enough time, he could drive the torrential resentment within to once again unleash a terrifying power like before.
It was simply magnificent.
If used properly, it could continually absorb the world’s resentment power to strengthen himself—essentially forming a perpetual motion machine.
As for the possible effects of resentment power, Li Tianwei didn’t give it a second thought.
His Dao Heart was indestructible; such resentment could never affect him.
Compared to Li Tianwei’s condition, Yuan Xixiao’s was miserable.
Though he hadn’t died, the sight of Li Tianwei’s frenzied explosion—his body wreathed in resentment like a living devil—had been seared into Yuan Xixiao’s mind, becoming a Heart Demon that could bar his path to future cultivation.
After Bai Muxu’s instructions, Li Tianwei left directly.
As for what would happen afterward, that would be handled by the people of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Now, he only wanted to return and study how to trigger the Resentment Channeling Curse to connect with the world’s resentment power—only then could he become stronger.
In his eyes, the conflicts between sects were trivial matters.
Compared to that, there were still Extraterrestrial Demons and the corruption pervading the entire world.
Besides, Li Tianwei already had some clues about those demons.
“If my feeling isn’t mistaken…”
Li Tianwei recalled the eruption on the Duel Platform.
That surging resentment and deathly intent had traced out everything in his heart.
With that sensation, he had also noticed that some people standing near the Duel Platform seemed to emit an inexplicable resonance with him.
Li Tianwei could feel that these people were different from ordinary ones—they carried an aura of evil.
According to the System’s information, these individuals might have already been infiltrated by the Extraterrestrial Demons.
However, Li Tianwei did not intend to expose them yet.
The situation with the demons was still unclear, and the most important thing was absolute power.
Although the Sacred Land of Lingxu had the strength to defend against them, who could say for certain?
In a little while, things would be different.
Li Tianwei thought to himself as he returned to the cave residence on Heaven’s Gate Peak.
At once, he began researching the Resentment Channeling Curse.
Unlike the Five Intentions Converge to Heaven Art or other grand cultivation methods, this one was concise.
It contained only analysis of resentment power, its control, and its guidance—extremely simple.
Li Tianwei mastered it effortlessly, without the slightest pressure.
After all, ever since his previous world, there had never been anything Li Tianwei couldn’t comprehend.
He understood the answer at a glance—the process itself was meaningless to him, something only others needed to prove.
“Come! Let me test the power of the Resentment Channeling Curse!”
Li Tianwei muttered to himself, beginning to chant the incantation.
“All evils begone, the art connects… to Resentful Heaven…”
Li Tianwei formed hand seals, activating his spiritual power.
In that instant, under the guidance of the Resentment Channeling Curse, the resentment that had been continuously multiplying through fission within his body was once again ignited by the fuse.
This time, with preparation, Li Tianwei immediately grasped that sensation precisely.
A terrifying power swept through his entire body, his strength surging without end.
