Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Inside the palace, Li Yun discovered that this residence was truly worthy of being bestowed upon an elite disciple by the Profound Origin Immortal Sect.

Its interior space was extremely spacious, and it also had a separate cultivation room.

Inside the cultivation room, a specialized Spirit Gathering Array had clearly been set up, making the spiritual qi even more abundant than outside. With only a single breath, Li Yun could feel the chaos qi within his body growing.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that he was only at the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm. If he were at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm, the enhancement effect would be much more limited.

"In three months, if I want to keep my status as an elite disciple, I must at least cultivate to the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm. But just reaching the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm is completely insufficient."

Li Yun pondered in his heart.

He understood that with his current cultivation at the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm, he was practically invincible within the Heavenly Core Realm.

But he was still not satisfied.

Even with this strength, he had no confidence that he could defeat someone at the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm.

The gap between the peak of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm and the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm was simply too large. It was so wide that even the current Li Yun, who was invincible within the Heavenly Core Realm, still could not defeat a true 1st level Spirit Manifestation Realm expert.

"However, the immediate priority is still to preliminarily fuse the Mountain River Sword Art into Slow Sword."

Shaking his head, Li Yun withdrew his thoughts.

Raising his cultivation was a necessity, but while his impression of the Mountain River Sword Art was still deep, integrating it into Slow Sword was also an urgent matter.

He immediately took out his sword and began to swing it continuously, starting his secluded cultivation.

Half a month later, Li Yun frowned and withdrew his sword.

"It is still not right."

This half-month of cultivation had greatly increased the power of his Slow Sword.

Moreover, the greatest benefit he had received during this half-month was that he had finally managed to comprehend the Five Element Intent.

This Five Element Intent had probably been the hardest for Li Yun to cultivate, but he had finally succeeded.

Now, he had another trump card.

His Five Element Intent was as powerful as his Slaughter Sword Intent and Immortal Sword Intent, and it might even be stronger.

With this completed, Li Yun could now focus entirely on Slow Sword and the Mountain River Sword Art.

"Bi Xuan, have the ancient texts I requested been delivered?"

Thinking of this, he called out toward the outside.

Bi Xuan was the name of the head maidservant.

Three days ago, Li Yun had instructed her to fetch the sect’s ancient texts related to the Mountain River Sword Art for him.

If he were an ordinary disciple of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, he would have to personally go to the Scripture Hall and use contribution points to borrow sect texts. The quantity he could borrow and the time limit would both be extremely restricted.

But elite disciples did not need to go through such trouble.

They only needed to give an order to their maidservants, and the sect would send someone to deliver the texts they needed, with no deadline for return.

As long as Li Yun was willing, he could keep the texts indefinitely.

Of course, if the texts were lost or shared at will, he would be punished by the sect. In serious cases, his identity as an elite disciple might even be stripped away.

"Young Master, the texts you wanted have just been delivered."

Bi Xuan entered the palace and smiled. "By the way, the sect has also sent someone with the extra rewards for being first on the Candidate Elite List."

"Oh?"

Li Yun’s heart stirred. "Let me see."

If Bi Xuan had not mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that there was an extra reward for being ranked first on the Candidate Elite List.

With a wave of his hand, a storage ring appeared in his palm. He extended his consciousness into it and discovered a flower, a fruit, and an array diagram inside.

The flower had nine petals, and each petal displayed a different color. It looked incredibly mystical and was clearly no ordinary object.

"Nirvana Flower?"

Li Yun’s eyebrows rose slightly.

In the Spirit Manifestation Realm, every level brought an explosive increase in strength, but the danger also increased accordingly. The so-called Spirit Manifestation involved a leap in the level of life and concerned the essence of the soul. Naturally, the cultivation process was filled with danger. A single lapse could result in one’s death.

In fact, many Spirit Manifestation Realm experts did not die in battles against enemies. Instead, they perished during cultivation.

Going from the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm to the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm was the first major threshold. Among ten cultivators, at least nine would perish during the breakthrough process, ending both their lives and their martial path.

Because of this, many cultivators who lacked courage would choose to remain at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm. They would only attempt a breakthrough once they had an extremely secure grasp of success, or they might simply choose not to break through at all, preferring to remain at that realm rather than gamble with their lives.

For instance, Jiang Haobai, the current number one disciple of Sword Peak’s outer sect, had remained in the outer sect for a full thirteen years. Besides preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix, this was likely another reason.

The Nirvana Flower could increase the success rate of breaking through from the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm to the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, and it increased that chance by as much as thirty percent.

Not only that, even if the attempt failed, it could protect the cultivator’s soul from damage, which was equivalent to giving that person an extra chance at a breakthrough.

If placed in an outside auction for wandering cultivators and cultivators from smaller forces to fight over, this Nirvana Flower could easily be bid up to several thousand Source Stones.

Of course, in a top-tier power like the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, the Nirvana Flower did not seem particularly rare. Even so, it was still worth at least a thousand Source Stones.
