Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

However, this item was mainly useful for cultivators at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm. For the current Li Yun, it was not of much use. It would be quite a while before he could use it.

After casually putting away the Nirvana Flower, Li Yun continued to examine the fruit.

This fruit was shaped like a sword and emitted a sharp aura, like a precious sword. It was precisely one level higher than Sword Intent Grass, a Sword Intent Fruit.

The function of the Sword Intent Fruit was also to grow Sword Intent, but its effect was much stronger than Sword Intent Grass. Even an ordinary person who consumed a Sword Intent Fruit could directly master at least ten percent Vast Heaven Sword Intent.

With Li Yun’s current strength, consuming this Sword Intent Fruit could increase any one of his Xiantian Stage Sword Intents. Which Sword Intent to improve would depend entirely on his choice.

As for the final array diagram, it was called the Purple Cloud Array Diagram.

It was quite similar to the Flowing Cloud Array Diagram. For every additional hundred precious swords, its power would increase by ten percent. However, the number of precious swords it could accommodate reached a full three thousand.

In other words, if the diagram could be filled, using it to drive a sword formation would increase the sword formation’s power by three times.

Unfortunately, Li Yun only had one thousand precious swords on hand. Until he obtained more precious swords, the Purple Cloud Array Diagram, like the Nirvana Flower, was something he could look at but not use.

In the end, out of the three rewards, the only one Li Yun could use immediately was the Sword Intent Fruit.

Nevertheless, Li Yun was already extremely satisfied. Taken together, these rewards were worth at least five thousand Source Stones, which was a huge sum for any outer sect disciple.

He then looked toward the pile of ancient texts.

There were hundreds of them, stacked like a small hill.

Among them, the main texts were related to the Mountain River Sword Art. Besides those, there were also the understandings and insights of sect seniors regarding the Sword Dao.

Soon, Li Yun became immersed in these texts.

He read like a person possessed, completely ignoring Bi Xuan beside him.

Seeing this, Bi Xuan shook her head and quietly withdrew.

Half a month had been enough for her to learn about Li Yun’s background. Although she believed it would be impossible for Li Yun to keep his elite disciple status in the upcoming challenge matches, it did not truly matter.

Given Li Yun’s potential and talent, even if he lost the elite disciple position this time, he would surely be able to reclaim it within a year or two at most.

Therefore, even though Li Yun was only at the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm, while she herself was at the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm and stood an entire major realm above him, she still would not show the slightest disrespect toward him.

In the blink of an eye, another month and a half passed.

Swish!

Li Yun suddenly struck out with his sword.

The speed of this strike was incredibly slow, almost like a snail crawling forward. Yet at the very moment he struck, explosive sounds rang out from nine different directions around him at the same time.

After that, nine pillars within the palace all revealed cracks. Those cracks spread rapidly, and the pillars soon crumbled into dust.

”It is finally done.”

A trace of a smile appeared on Li Yun’s face.

Taken together, two full months had finally allowed him to successfully integrate the Mountain River Sword Art into Slow Sword.

Not only that, during this month and a half, even without deliberately cultivating, his strength had advanced rapidly.

His cultivation had reached the perfection stage of the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm, leaving him only one step away from the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm.

Overall, his current strength was enough to rival a 1st level Spirit Manifestation Realm cultivator. As for whether he could defeat one, Li Yun was not yet certain. He would have to fight such an opponent personally before knowing his true chances.

”Next, it is time to find a place to test the current power of Slow Sword.”

A thought flashed through Li Yun’s mind.

”I will go to the Endless Demon Cave.”

The Endless Demon Cave was one of the many cultivation secret realms of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect.

This secret realm had a total of three levels, targeting outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, and true disciples respectively. Among them, the trial difficulty for outer sect disciples was the lowest, but even that was not a place anyone could enter casually.

To train there, one had to possess at least peak 5th level Heavenly Core Realm strength. Even those at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm were considered only average there.

Among all the secret realms for the outer sect, the Endless Demon Cave ranked near the top. Generally speaking, one needed to reserve a spot one month in advance and spend a large number of contribution points to enter.

However, that was only for ordinary disciples.

For elite disciples like Li Yun, there were no such restrictions.

”Bi Xuan, I am going out for a while.”

Li Yun spoke, and then his figure flickered as he directly left Profound Sword Island.

Half an hour later, Li Yun appeared at the Purple Mist Sea.

As the name suggested, this was an ocean formed by purple mist. Dense purple qi spread everywhere, making the area appear mysterious and deep.

Within the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, the Purple Mist Sea was an extremely important place because many of the sect’s cultivation secret realms were gathered here.

Within the purple ocean, there were many miraculous light gates. Each light gate connected to a cultivation secret realm, and at a glance, there were more than a hundred of them.
