Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Master!”

The young girl in white suddenly stopped.

The longsword in her hand slipped from her grasp, and she subconsciously raised her head. The moment her gaze landed on Li Yun, surprise and disbelief immediately lit up in her eyes.

It had been more than a year.

For an entire year, whenever she practiced her sword, the figure of this white-robed youth would appear in her mind.

If not for Li Yun, she would have long ago been taken away by Young Master Zhu of the Ironblood Sect and reduced to a plaything.

If not for Li Yun, it would have been impossible for her to reach the peak of the True Essence Realm in such a short time. Her swordsmanship would also never have reached its current level.

Everything she had today was because of Li Yun.

Now, after more than a year, she had finally seen him again.

”Supreme Elder Li!”

On the training ground, the other cultivators also cried out in surprise one after another before bowing respectfully.

If they had seen Ye Qingxue show such an attitude toward anyone else, their hearts would certainly have been filled with jealousy.

But because the person before them was Li Yun, they could not feel even the slightest envy.

”Your strength has improved faster than I imagined.”

Li Yun smiled slightly.

He took a step forward and stood before Ye Qingxue.

”Come. Use your full strength and attack me.”

”Yes!”

Ye Qingxue was startled for a moment, but her expression quickly became solemn.

Her entire aura condensed into a single stream without the slightest leak. Then she suddenly thrust her sword forward, aiming straight for Li Yun’s chest.

”Your sword has enough speed, but it lacks killing intent.”

Li Yun shook his head and extended two fingers, directly pinching the tip of the sword between them.

His two fingers were like two towering mountains. No matter how the longsword struggled, it could not break free.

He said calmly, ”The sword is originally a Dao of slaughter, so it should contain killing intent. However, your sword lacks this aura. It lacks a sharp edge.”

”Still, I do not blame you for this.”

”Although your talent is good, you have spent more than a year cultivating behind closed doors in the underground palace without experiencing enough tempering. It is not strange for this problem to appear.”

”Next, I will give you two choices. First, follow me and continue your studies within a great sect. Second, go alone and temper yourself for half a year to one year, then enter a great sect to cultivate. In my view, the second path is more suitable for your long-term development.”

”Of course, the final choice is yours. I will not interfere.”

Li Yun spoke calmly.

After he finished speaking, Ye Qingxue immediately fell into deep thought.

From the perspective of her feelings, she naturally wanted to choose the first path so she could follow directly beside Li Yun.

But reason told her that the second path was indeed more suitable for her.

A flower grown in a greenhouse, one that had never faced wind and rain, would ultimately find it difficult to become a true powerhouse.

She wanted to stay beside Li Yun.

But she did not want to exist as nothing more than an ornament.

”Master, I choose the second path.”

Finally, her gaze became firm, and she spoke in a serious voice.

”Very well.”

Li Yun nodded, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

He was satisfied with Ye Qingxue’s choice.

Since she possessed the Innate Sword Body, there was no doubt that Ye Qingxue’s talent was extremely high. Naturally, Li Yun did not want her to waste that talent.

For the next few days, Li Yun stayed at Martial Ascension Gate.

Most of his time was spent guiding Ye Qingxue.

Although what Ye Qingxue needed most was practical combat experience, there were still many details that Li Yun needed to advise her on.

When he had free time, he would also guide the other disciples of Martial Ascension Gate and exchange cultivation insights with Peak Lord Shen Ming and the others.

Although Peak Lord Shen Ming and the others had already cultivated to the Heavenly Core Realm, they had relied on the medicinal power of the Great Heaven Creation Pill rather than their own steady cultivation. Compared to cultivators of the same realm, there was still a certain gap.

Regarding this, Li Yun had no perfect solution.

He could only have them do their best to improve in areas such as martial skills.

At the same time, during these few days, Li Yun also took the time to open the second level of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s treasury.

This level of the treasury was mainly meant for cultivators from the 1st level to the 3rd level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, and the various treasures inside could be described as countless.

However, Li Yun had already obtained one million Source Stones at the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly and was about to rush to the Genius Training Camp. He did not lack these things, so he left them all to Martial Ascension Gate.

It was foreseeable that after obtaining these cultivation resources, Martial Ascension Gate’s strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

In the future, it might not be impossible for them to contend with forces like the Heavenly Sword Sect and become the fifth of the Five Supreme Factions of the Azure Void Region.

A few days later, Ye Qingxue set off.

Her path of tempering officially began.

As for what the future held for her, that would depend entirely on her own destiny.

Afterward, Li Yun also set off and headed directly toward Floating Island within the Azure Void Region.

There was still a group of cultivators stranded there, including Qin Baoluo. It was time to release them.

However, when he arrived, he discovered that Qin Baoluowas no longer on Floating Island.

According to the other cultivators on the island, shortly after Li Yun left, a mysterious old man descended and took Qin Baoluo away.

”It seems that fellow Qin Baoluo has also obtained an opportunity.”

Li Yun quickly understood.
