Crazy Leveling System

Chapter 1290: Illusory Metal Bamboo Forest

After Yi Tianyun finished comprehending, he immediately flew toward the passage entrance leading to the fourth level, but quite a few cultivators below noticed his movements.

“Is this kid trying to get himself killed? He’s only at the Heaven Monarchs realm and wants to go to the fourth level. Does he really think that just because he’s comprehended something, he can simply charge into the fourth level?”

“Who cares? If he wants to die, no one can stop him. Let’s just focus on our own cultivation.”

“Exactly. People like that die in droves. Every one of them thinks they’re invincible…”

The cultivators below sneered at him, thinking Yi Tianyun was like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, assuming that because he’d managed some comprehension, he could ascend to the fourth level without consequence.

If it were really that easy to go up, they would have done so long ago instead of staying here to keep comprehending.

Yi Tianyun couldn’t be bothered to pay them any attention. They weren’t entirely wrong, but it didn’t apply to him. He had come fully prepared, rather than blindly rushing forward out of arrogance.

Very soon, he entered the area of the fourth level. The moment he arrived, that familiar surge of Illusory Metal Power poured in from all directions, boring into his body.

This Illusory Metal Power was undoubtedly stronger than on the lower floors. It seemed to follow the same pattern, there was no big change, still the same Illusory Metal Power flooding in.

Yi Tianyun immediately brought it under control, transforming that domineering Illusory Metal Power into a gentler form so he could handle it. Any excess was released outside. Every cultivator who came in had to do the same unless they naturally cultivated Illusory Metal Power themselves.

Otherwise, they would have to keep expelling the Illusory Metal Power. If it built up inside their bodies to a certain extent, it would cause them to explode!

Yi Tianyun wanted to absorb the Illusory Metal Power, but this version, imbued with the Heavenly Venerable Power, was not so easy to take in. He needed a gentler form of Illusory Metal Power in order to fully absorb it.

Or, if his comprehension of this Illusory Metal Power reached a higher level, perhaps he could then absorb it.

However, that wasn’t his main concern at the moment. Having just arrived, his first priority wasn’t the surrounding Illusory Metal Power, but rather examining the area around him.

In the next instant, what appeared before him wasn’t an open space but a dense bamboo forest! Yet it wasn’t an ordinary bamboo forest, every stalk was golden, formed by the solidification of Illusory Metal Power.

A vast expanse of these golden bamboos stretched out, towering high overhead, far beyond a typical bamboo grove. Just by looking, one’s vision was quickly blocked by the dense bamboo, making it impossible to see very far.

As for using a powerful spiritual sense to probe the distance, he found it impossible to extend it far, only a few li at most.

After all, this was the domain of an Upper Heavenly Venerable. Yi Tianyun’s spiritual sense was quite strong, but here it was mostly suppressed by the Heavenly Venerable’s power, leaving him able to sense only a small surrounding area.

“So this bamboo forest is formed by the Illusory Metal Power…”

Yi Tianyun found this extremely strange, he hadn’t expected such a display. The entire area was filled with Illusory Metal Power, making it something of a paradise for that energy!

Upon ascending, he immediately sensed waves of activity coming from up ahead. Without overthinking, he sped off in that direction to see what sort of treasure it might be, so enticing that even Domain Lord Liuli couldn’t restrain herself from flying up here.

But the moment he stepped into the bamboo forest, although it looked like ordinary bamboo at first glance, each stalk suddenly split into countless segments that surged wildly toward Yi Tianyun. They encircled him from all sides, leaving no avenue of escape!

Yi Tianyun’s eyes sharpened. He gripped his Stars Divine Spear tightly in his hand and slashed downward, carving a gaping hole in the bamboo segments shooting his way. Behind him, a Phoenix Phantom Shadow, and in a flash, he vanished from his original position, darting forward at extreme speed!

His frantic velocity left the Illusory Metal bamboo far behind. Even when it attacked abruptly, Yi Tianyun was able to dodge at once, not even getting grazed.

However, the Illusory Metal bamboo was extremely sharp; when its strikes missed, it drove itself harshly into the ground, penetrating several li before coming to a stop. The ground here was likewise solidified by Illusory Metal Power, yet it was still punctured so deeply, this showed how terrifyingly powerful the bamboo was.

“No wonder they say a Heaven Monarch who comes up here is courting death. Judging from this, that’s definitely true…”

Yi Tianyun swiftly evaded the Illusory Metal bamboo all around him. With the combined power and speed of these attacks, one would need at least a late-stage Heaven Monarchs level to dodge comfortably. Otherwise, there would be no way to avoid them.

As for those at the God Monarchs level, it would be relatively easy here. While dodging the bamboo, Yi Tianyun continually refined the Illusory Metal Power around him, striving to deepen his comprehension of its essence.

In order to ascend to an even higher level, one must fully master the Illusory Metal Power of this floor. Otherwise, there would be no way to enter the next. Forcing a way in would end just like those other cultivators before, pierced by Illusory Metal Power and slain.

As Yi Tianyun drew closer to the source of the waves, the circles of glowing light grew larger and larger, indicating he was near his destination.

“That must be the exit up ahead!”

Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. He noticed that the Illusory Metal bamboo ahead was thinning out, meaning the exit was near. He abruptly increased his speed, streaking across the sky in a crimson afterimage. The Illusory Metal bamboo attacks from behind and around him missed by a wide margin. The bamboo spears coming at him from the front were instantly shattered into golden powder as he rammed through them.

At last, he burst out of the Illusory Metal bamboo forest and found himself in an open area, where there was a teleportation array!

What he saw wasn’t any kind of rare treasure but a teleportation array. It emitted wave after wave of light, indicating that the real destination was beyond this place.

“So the treasure’s location must be on a higher level…” Yi Tianyun furrowed his brow. He had hoped to spot the treasure here, but it turned out it wasn’t on this floor.

The pathway to the next level here was different from the lower floors. You couldn’t just fly straight up; first, you had to pass through this hazardous checkpoint in order to go higher.

Thinking it over, he realized he had been naive. Why would such a treasure appear on such a low floor? He didn’t even know how many floors there were, but if Domain Lord Liuli was in such a hurry, it had to be something far from ordinary, and surely not found on these lower floors.

Still, he did not rush inside. Instead, he sat down near the array and resumed comprehending the Illusory Metal Power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to go any further. Besides, he wasn’t the only one here. Quite a few God Monarchs were also present, doing the same.

When they saw Yi Tianyun arrive, each one was utterly astonished, a Heaven Monarch had actually come here! Everyone cultivating near the teleportation array was at the God Monarchs level. Typically, a Heaven Monarch wouldn’t make it this far. So seeing Yi Tianyun appear left them all shocked beyond words.
