Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”You should slowly ponder these eighteen sets of basic sword techniques on your own.”

Li Yun said, ”When you can fuse these eighteen sets of basic sword techniques and create your own set of sword techniques, you will be considered to have barely stepped through the door. At that time, I will teach you advanced sword techniques.”

”Now, I will teach you how to nurture Sword Intent.”

”Sword Intent.”

Upon hearing these two words, Ye Qingxue’s eyes immediately lit up.

If the foundation of a cultivator was essence qi, then for a sword cultivator, Sword Intent was the very foundation.

Only by possessing Sword Intent could one be considered a true sword cultivator, and only with Sword Intent could one unleash the true power of various powerful sword techniques.

”Listen carefully.”

Li Yun spoke with a solemn expression and explained his understanding of Sword Intent. Then, he taught Ye Qingxue the cultivation method of the Grasswood Sword Art and demonstrated it once in front of her.

Grasswood Sword Art was a low-grade Profound Rank sword art created mainly for the purpose of comprehending Sword Intent. It was one of the few sword arts Li Yun had found inside the storage rings of his enemies.

”Now, try performing it yourself.”

Li Yun spoke.

”Alright.”

Ye Qingxue nodded gently and began to perform it.

This time, she still executed it flawlessly, perfectly demonstrating the entire Grasswood Sword Art.

Not only that, but after she finished performing the set of sword techniques, a sharp and unparalleled aura suddenly emanated from her body.

”Sword Intent Embryo?”

Li Yun could not help feeling shocked.

After just one performance of Grasswood Sword Art, Ye Qingxue had directly condensed a Sword Intent Embryo. Such talent was truly terrifying.

If this continued, it probably would not be long before she could directly master Houtian Sword Intent.

This speed was unimaginable for an ordinary person. Even Li Yun had not been this fast back in the day.

However, the Innate Sword Body indeed had significant advantages during the early stages. Later on, her cultivation speed would gradually slow down, and she would also encounter certain bottlenecks.

After all, no matter how strong a physique was, it was not invincible.

Next, while traveling with Ye Qingxue, Li Yun taught her his understanding of the Sword Dao. In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

In just five days, Ye Qingxue’s Sword Intent had already reached ten percent. This rate of progress was extremely fast.

Not only that, but even Li Yun’s own Sword Intent had grown significantly compared to before, thanks to being around Ye Qingxue.

In just five days, Li Yun’s Sword Intent had actually grown from twenty percent to thirty percent in the Xiantian Stage. This speed surprised even Li Yun himself.

It seemed that by taking on this disciple, he had truly found a treasure.

Five days later, Li Yun and Ye Qingxue finally arrived at the largest city within a thousand-mile radius, Violetthorn City.

Originally, Violetthorn City had been the base of a small force in the Azure Void Region, the Violetthorn Sect. However, nearly a month ago, the Violetthorn Sect had been completely annihilated by the Ironblood Sect, and this city had been seized by Young Master Zhu.

At this time, almost all the buildings in Violetthorn City had been demolished. Only a massive palace remained standing at the very center of the city, occupying nearly half of the entire city.

Around the luxurious palace, slaves with chains wrapped around them moved with hunched backs and staggering steps. Many of them had once been robust men, but now they were emaciated and barely recognizable.

”Hurry! Move faster!”

”Dragging your feet, are you looking to die? Hurry up!”

One by one, black-robed cultivators with cold expressions wielded long whips and relentlessly lashed these slaves. Every strike was vicious, and from time to time, slaves were beaten to death.

Then, those dead slaves were dragged away by some black-robed men to a Blood Pool outside the palace, where their blood was drained. The Blood Pool spanned a hundred meters in diameter and was filled with fresh blood.

”Comfortable. So comfortable.”

A young man with a sinister expression sat in the center of the Blood Pool, cultivating a strange and evil cultivation technique. As he cultivated, the blood in the pool continuously rose and was absorbed into his body.

This person was none other than Young Master Zhu.

Nourished by the blood, Young Master Zhu’s complexion became extremely rosy, and he could not help laughing loudly. ”This feels amazing. At this rate, I estimate it will not take more than a month for me to advance further and break through to the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm.”

”Hahahaha!”

Amid his wild laughter, he suddenly grabbed a rather beautiful young girl. The girl screamed as she was pulled to his side. Then, his large hand directly reached toward the girl’s robe.

”Lian’er!”

Not far away, a middle-aged man angrily shouted. He actually broke free from the chains on his body and charged toward Young Master Zhu. ”You beast, I will fight you to the death.”

”Ant.”

Young Master Zhu lazily glanced at the middle-aged man and casually slapped out with his palm.

With a popping sound, the middle-aged man was directly smashed into flesh paste.

”...”

This scene filled the surrounding slaves with grief and indignation, but none of them dared to say a word. They could only sigh silently in their hearts.

”Disgusting.”

In the distance, Ye Qingxue watched this scene, her face filled with indignation.

If Li Yun had not rescued her, perhaps she would have been the one being harmed by Young Master Zhu.

”This person deserves to die.”

Li Yun’s expression also turned cold.

Originally, he had come to Violetthorn City to kill Young Master Zhu and enrage Protector Zhu. Once Protector Zhu became furious, chaos would erupt across the surrounding ten-thousand-mile region.

Once chaos erupted, that would become Li Yun’s chance to escape.

But after witnessing Young Master Zhu’s actions, he genuinely felt killing intent toward him.

”Wait here.”

He instructed Ye Qingxue, then his figure flashed and appeared directly at the city gate of Violetthorn City.

”Someone?”

As soon as he appeared, many black-robed men noticed him. Upon seeing him, they all showed expressions of confusion and surprise.

Peak Mortal Core Realm?

A mere cultivator at the peak of Mortal Core Realm actually dared to appear here. Did he not know that this was Young Master Zhu’s territory?

Whoosh!

Without wasting a single word on these people, Li Yun directly drew his sword.

Astonishing Sword Qi swept through the area, and heads rolled. Dozens of black-robed men were instantly killed by his single sword strike.

”Not good! This person is hiding his strength!”

”Intruder! Kill him!”

From deep within Violetthorn City, dozens of black-robed cultivators surged out. Each of them was at the peak of Earthly Core Realm, and among them were even several Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm experts.

”Kill!”

Dozens of black-robed cultivators attacked at the same time. Their essence qi fluctuations surged toward Li Yun like a rolling river.

”Slow Sword!”

Facing these people, Li Yun could not be bothered to entangle himself with them. With a swing of his sword, a three-colored aura was released, and countless strands of Sword Qi shot out.

In just one encounter, all dozens of black-robed cultivators were killed.
