Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”You!”

The purple-robed elder’s face instantly flushed red, and he was so furious that he nearly went mad.

A young woman who looked barely twenty years old had actually dared to threaten him to his face in front of so many people. When had the dignified Starheaven Ancient Kingdom ever suffered such humiliation?

However, when he looked at the Starveil Maiden’s indifferent expression, he did not doubt her words for even a moment.

This woman was not merely speaking empty threats.

If the older generation of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom truly dared to bully Li Yun again, she would absolutely carry out what she had said.

”Enough.”

At this moment, Mu Tianhe glanced at the purple-robed elder and said indifferently, ”My Heavenly Sword Sect is, after all, one of the three great sects of the Azure Void Region. Since when would we do something as absurd as executing our own disciple because of outside pressure? Elder Feng, do not mention such foolish words again.”

Hearing this, the purple-robed elder became even more furious.

It was already humiliating enough that he could do nothing to the Starveil Maiden, a Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse. Yet now, he could not even deal with a mere Li Yun. To him, this was simply unbearable humiliation.

However, with both the Starveil Maiden and Mu Tianhe speaking up, no matter how unwilling he felt, he could only helplessly accept that dealing with Li Yun openly was no longer possible.

Of course, the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom would never let Li Yun go so easily.

Since they could not act openly, they could still use various hidden means to deal with him in the shadows.

”Follow me.”

The Starveil Maiden did not care at all about what the three of them were thinking.

With a wave of her slender, jade-like hand, a path of starlight extended from beneath her feet.

Then, with another wave of her hand, starlight gathered and enveloped Li Yun’s severely injured body. In the next moment, she took a step forward and carried him away, vanishing directly from everyone’s sight.

In the next moment, Li Yun and the Starveil Maiden appeared within a quiet valley.

Swoosh!

The Starveil Maiden did not say a single word. With a light wave of her jade-like hand, a wisp of starlight emerged from her palm and landed directly on Li Yun.

Enveloped by that starlight, the injuries on Li Yun’s body began recovering at a visible speed. In only a few breaths, the scars covering the surface of his body had completely vanished, leaving behind no trace of injury.

After that, his broken bones, meridians, tendons, and marrow rapidly reconnected under the gentle bath of starlight. After a dozen or so breaths, all of his injuries had actually healed completely.

One had to understand that the injuries Li Yun had suffered earlier were extremely severe. They were far worse than the injuries he had suffered inside the Chaos Heaven Secret Realm. Even a single Life Creation Pill might not have been enough to fully restore him, yet a casual wisp of starlight from the Starveil Maiden had directly returned him to his peak state.

Li Yun stood up and was just about to say something, but at that moment, he seemed to discover something. His expression suddenly changed.

That wisp of starlight had not dissipated after repairing his injuries. Instead, it had merged into his body.

Under the influence of that starlight, his Vital Core began to operate on its own. A layer of golden light surfaced across his body, shining brilliantly as though he had been cast from gold. It looked extremely miraculous.

Soon, however, that golden color gradually faded and was replaced by a faint layer of purple luster. The purple glow carried a vague and mysterious aura, giving his body an indescribably profound feeling.

”Hm?”

Seeing this scene, Li Yun’s eyebrows rose, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

This manifestation was clearly the sixth stage of the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture.

Immortal Flesh.

The sixth stage, Immortal Flesh, allowed Li Yun’s body to possess a true degree of immortality. If he faced Heavenly Core Realm elders again, then as long as he was not killed instantly, his injuries would slowly heal by themselves. Moreover, the speed of that healing would be far faster than before.

Together with the Wood Tree Manifestation Art of the Five Element Supreme Divine Art, it could be said that Li Yun had truly reached the stage of pseudo-immortality.

As for his strength, the sixth stage Immortal Flesh allowed his physical body to contend against Earthly Core Realm experts. Because of this, Li Yun’s overall combat power rose once again.

However, before Li Yun could rejoice for long, he soon noticed that the Chaos Qi inside his body had begun raging wildly. It was surging through his meridians like a restless tide, and it seemed to be on the verge of condensing into a core.

’Am I about to break through to the Mortal Core Realm?’

Li Yun did not hesitate. He immediately sat down cross-legged and focused all of his attention on cultivating.

Several hours passed.

Then, a powerful wave of qi erupted from his body and swept across the valley.

”I have finally reached the 1st level of Mortal Core Realm.”

Li Yun stood up with a smile on his face.

”Thank you, Miss.”

He looked at the Starveil Maiden with gratitude in his eyes and said in a deep voice, ”The grace of saving my life is difficult to repay. I owe you a massive favor.”

This time, Li Yun truly owed her far too much.

If the Starveil Maiden had not acted, he would certainly have died at Elder Xingluo’s hands or have fled the sect. Afterward, she had even borne the pressure of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom for him, preventing the older generation experts of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom from dealing with him openly.

In addition, she had helped Li Yun cultivate the Immortal Flesh and allowed his cultivation to take another step forward. Each of these things was already a great favor by itself, let alone all of them combined.
