Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

“Two years? I cannot afford to wait that long.”

A sharp light flashed in Li Yun’s eyes as he immediately made his decision.

“Peak Head, I am willing to accept this challenge,” he said without hesitation. “But may I know which senior brother I will be facing?”

“The disciple’s name is Huang Yun,” the Heaven Mandate Peak Head replied. “He has reached the peak of the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm. He is also considered a genius. Although his cultivation has not yet reached the Half Step Qi Sea Realm, his true combat strength is sufficient to contend with experts at that level.”

Li Yun fell into thought for a brief moment.

Strength comparable to a Half Step Qi Sea Realm expert was indeed formidable. With his current abilities, he believed he could most likely defeat such an opponent. However, he could not help but recall the young woman Yan Luo of the Boundless Martial Palace, whose strength at the same level had been extremely terrifying. If Huang Yun possessed similar power, then the battle would not be easy.

With that in mind, Li Yun cupped his hands respectfully and asked, “Peak Head, when will this competition with Senior Brother Huang Yun take place?”

“The Heavenly Spirit Thunder Pool will open in ten days, so your competition will naturally be scheduled for that time,” the Heaven Mandate Peak Head said calmly.

“Ten days? That is more than enough.”

A confident smile appeared on Li Yun’s lips.

“Peak Head, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. I need to return and prepare properly for the competition,” he added respectfully.

“Go,” the Peak Head replied with a simple wave of his hand.

Li Yun bowed slightly before turning around and leaving the Heaven Mandate Hall.

…

After stepping out of the hall, Li Yun headed straight toward the cliff where he usually went into seclusion.

The place was quiet and secluded, making it ideal for cultivation.

He sat down casually on the ground. The storage ring on his finger emitted a faint glow, and with a slight vibration, a large pile of treasures appeared before him. Some of these items had been obtained through exchanging contribution points at the Contribution Hall, while others had been taken from the Blood Zombie Young Master.

Li Yun looked at the items briefly before shaking his head.

“Even if I refine all of these, my strength will not improve significantly,” he murmured.

His gaze then shifted and settled on a single object among the pile.

The Martial Dao Crystal.

“Only this can truly increase my strength in a short period of time,” he said quietly as his eyes sharpened.

Understanding this, Li Yun no longer hesitated as he sat down cross legged, steadied his breathing, and began to circulate all three of his cultivation arts simultaneously while guiding the flow of qi through his meridians with extreme precision and control.

The Overlord Thunder Scripture surged within him like restrained lightning, crackling faintly as it moved through his meridians at the fourteenth layer of the low grade Profound Rank section, while at the same time the Wind God Raging Art circulated with a swift and fluid rhythm, its currents light yet sharp as they continuously refined his body at the same level.

Alongside them the Great Sun Flame Scripture burned steadily, its heat controlled and condensed as it flowed through him at the fourteenth layer without the slightest fluctuation.

All three cultivation arts had already reached the peak of the fourteenth layer, and only a final step remained before they could reach completion at the fifteenth layer, which would mark the completion of the entire low grade Profound Rank section.

“I have ten days, so I must use every moment carefully,” Li Yun muttered under his breath as his eyes slowly closed and his mind sank into a deep state of meditation.

Time began to pass in silence as Li Yun remained completely still, his body unmoving while the three cultivation arts continued to circulate endlessly within him.

With each completed circulation, his understanding deepened, and with each passing day, the three elements within him became more refined and more stable as if they were gradually shedding their rough edges and revealing their true nature.

By the end of the first day, subtle transformations had already begun to appear as the lightning within him became more condensed and precise, the wind currents became sharper and more obedient, and the flames burned with a steady brilliance that no longer showed even the slightest instability.

By the second day, a faint resonance began to form between the three elements as lightning, wind, and fire no longer acted independently but instead began to respond to one another in subtle and profound ways.

By the third day, that resonance grew stronger and more apparent, and Li Yun’s entire body seemed to exist within a delicate balance where the three elements coexisted without conflict.

By the fourth day, his aura had undergone a significant transformation as faint traces of lightning flickered beneath his skin, invisible currents of wind stirred gently around him, and a steady warmth radiated from his presence, creating an atmosphere that felt both powerful and harmonious.

Then, on the fifth day, the breakthrough finally arrived.

A deep and powerful vibration echoed throughout his entire body as the Overlord Thunder Scripture was the first to break through, its circulation reaching a state of complete perfection as it stepped into the fifteenth layer.

In that instant the lightning within him transformed, no longer existing as mere energy but as a force that carried a deeper meaning and a sharper will.

Almost immediately after, the Wind God Raging Art also completed its final layer as the wind within his body became boundless and free yet entirely under his control.

The Great Sun Flame Scripture followed closely behind as the flames within him burned with a steady and profound brilliance that seemed to contain an entirely new depth of understanding.

With all three cultivation arts reaching the fifteenth layer at the same time, Li Yun’s comprehension of lightning, wind, and fire surged forward dramatically as if a dam had been broken within his mind.

His consciousness trembled as he entered a deep state of enlightenment where countless insights flooded his thoughts, and within that state he seemed to witness lightning tearing across endless skies with unstoppable force, wind sweeping across vast lands with boundless freedom, and flames burning through the world with an intensity that could not be extinguished.

These were not mere illusions but manifestations of true understanding as his comprehension, which had already reached the fourth tier, began to deepen at an astonishing speed, breaking through the final barriers that had previously restrained him.

The scattered understanding within him began to condense, and the chaotic fragments of insight gradually took form.

Within his dantian, three distinct points of light began to emerge as one flickered with violent lightning, one flowed with endless wind, and one burned with steady flames, and although they trembled slightly at first, they soon stabilized as they formed into complete and perfect structures.

And following their complete form, the three points inside his dantian began revolving around the gaseous orb of chaos qi inside his body.

These three points were the intent seeds.

Li Yun had successfully comprehended the Intent Seeds of lightning, wind, and fire, and at that moment his aura underwent a profound transformation as it became deeper and more refined, as if his very existence had taken a step closer to the fundamental laws of the world.

Even then, Li Yun did not move as his eyes remained closed and his body stayed perfectly still while he continued to stabilize the three newly formed Intent Seeds, remaining immersed within that state of enlightenment as he silently consolidated everything he had gained.
