Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

It was not only the Iron Blood Sect, the young monk, and Gu Cangyang who were moving because of this news. The entire Cloudheaven Ancient Kingdom had been stirred into motion, and countless Earthly Core Realm cultivators were rushing toward the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. A storm was already beginning to gather.

At this moment, Li Yun and Yue Cangshan were also gradually approaching the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were extremely famous within the Cloudheaven Ancient Kingdom. Although the mountains in this region did not truly number one hundred thousand, there were at least tens of thousands of peaks when the large and small mountains were counted together.

This place contained many precious treasures and powerful demonic beasts, making it a necessary training ground for countless cultivators.

Throughout the journey, Li Yun and Yue Cangshan maintained an extremely low profile.

Li Yun’s current strength was roughly comparable to the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm, and if he pushed himself to the limit, he could possibly contend with ordinary 8th level Earthly Core Realm cultivators. As for Yue Cangshan, although his strength was also impressive, there were still quite a few people who could defeat him.

After all, the opening of the Lost Ancient City would attract Earthly Core Realm experts from throughout the entire Cloudheaven Ancient Kingdom. Among them, there were many reclusive figures who were not listed on the Earth Ranking, yet their strength might not be weaker than those who were. Some of them could even contend with experts ranked within the top twenty of the Earth Ranking.

One had to know that anyone capable of ranking within the top twenty of the Earth Ranking could, at the very least, fight a 1st level Heavenly Core Realm expert for a period of time before being defeated.

Facing experts of that caliber, even Yue Cangshan was far from being a match. Under such circumstances, the two of them naturally followed the principle of keeping a low profile.

Swoosh!

Just then, a fierce gust of wind swept past them. High in the sky, the figure of a Golden-Winged Roc suddenly appeared.

Sitting majestically upon the Golden-Winged Roc was a middle-aged man in golden robes. His expression was cold and aloof, and his entire bearing carried a faint sense of arrogance.

”Golden Roc Dharma King? That fellow actually came too?”

Yue Cangshan’s expression changed slightly. He immediately restrained his aura, seemingly afraid of being discovered by the middle-aged man in golden robes.

”Senior Yue, who is that?”

Li Yun’s mind stirred, and he asked calmly.

”That Golden Roc Dharma King is a veteran Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm expert. His strength is even greater than Saber Fiend’s and is comparable to experts ranked within the top twenty of the Earth Ranking.”

Yue Cangshan snorted coldly and said, ”However, this person is extremely narrow-minded and vengeful. Many years ago, I offended him over a trivial matter, and he has held onto that grudge ever since. Over the years, he has constantly looked for chances to take revenge against me.”

After saying this, Yue Cangshan shook his head.

”Forget it. Let us not talk about him. We are about to reach the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, so I should first tell you a few things about the Lost Ancient City.”

He continued, ”Like most secret realms, once you enter the Lost Ancient City, everyone will be randomly teleported to different locations. Inside the Lost Ancient City, the essence qi of all cultivators will be suppressed, but the strength of the physical body will not be affected. Because of this, cultivators with powerful physical bodies will have a great advantage there.”

”Oh?”

As soon as he heard this, Li Yun could not help raising an eyebrow.

His physical body had already reached the perfection of the 7th stage Immortal Flesh, making it comparable to that of a peak Earthly Core Realm expert. If what Yue Cangshan said was true, then this would be a significant advantage for him.

”Furthermore, although it is called the Lost Ancient City, the words ancient city are actually only a general description.”

Yue Cangshan continued explaining, ”In reality, after entering this secret realm, one must first pass through a desert and three checkpoints before truly reaching the Lost Ancient City.”

”As for this desert and the three checkpoints, they are...”

Yue Cangshan continued speaking for a long while before finally finishing his explanation of the Lost Ancient City. However, even he did not know many details about the interior of the secret realm, and several parts of his account remained vague.

”Thank you, Senior Yue.”

Even so, Li Yun still expressed his gratitude solemnly.

Although Yue Cangshan’s explanation was not exhaustive, it had given Li Yun a considerable understanding of the Lost Ancient City. At the very least, it prevented him from entering the secret realm blindly.

Three days later, Li Yun and Yue Cangshan finally entered the central region of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

A colossal phantom image of a city flickered in and out of sight, hidden deep within the clouds directly above the center of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. It exuded an ancient and profound aura, causing anyone who gazed upon it to feel awe from the depths of their heart.

Below the city, countless cultivators had already gathered. At a rough glance, their number had already exceeded ten thousand.

There were tens of thousands of Earthly Core Realm cultivators, including many at the peak of Earthly Core Realm and even some Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm existences. Among them, there were quite a few experts at the level of the Golden Roc Dharma King.

Experts were as numerous as clouds, and exotic beasts soared through the sky. The convergence of so many powerful figures truly made this place a gathering of heroes.

Boom!

Just then, the phantom image of the colossal city suddenly shook violently. Immediately afterward, a massive pillar of light descended from the center of the city.

That enormous pillar of light quickly solidified into reality, transforming into a heavenly stairway condensed from brilliant radiance. The stairway had three thousand steps, perfectly connecting the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to the colossal city above.

The Lost Ancient City had opened.

”Charge!”

”Go, hurry up and go!”

”Let me go first. Get out of the way!”

In an instant, the tens of thousands of Earthly Core Realm experts completely erupted into motion.

The entire crowd seemed to be whipped into a frenzy. Disregarding everything else, they madly charged toward the Light Pillar Stairway, each one afraid that they would be left behind and miss the opportunity before them.

Among them, Golden Roc Dharma King and Gu Cangyang of the Golden Saint Sect were the fastest. In the blink of an eye, they had already rushed along the Light Pillar Stairway and entered the Lost Ancient City.
