Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Seeing this scene, everyone’s expression changed, and they involuntarily stopped. They gazed at the whirlpools before them with extreme gravity.

With the previous cultivator’s example, everyone understood that this place was the first restriction test on the way to the central island.

The whirlpools spun at an incredible speed. Just looking at them was enough to make one feel dizzy and disoriented.

Ordinary whirlpools naturally would not affect cultivators at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm. However, these were restrictions originally laid down by Elder Tianxin, so they were absolutely not comparable to ordinary whirlpools.

The previous 9th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator had already paid the price of elimination. His fate gave everyone a stern warning. If one underestimated these restrictions, the price would surely be regret.

”Let me give it a try.”

However, the mere first test could not stop these cultivators.

Each of them was an elite of the younger generation and naturally possessed pride. They were unwilling to stop so quickly.

A burly cultivator strode forward.

A powerful suction force enveloped him, yet his body remained completely unmoved. He actually withstood the pressure and passed directly through the whirlpool zone.

”This is a disciple of the Iron Origin Sect. People from that sect excel most in physical strength.”

”It seems sufficiently powerful physical strength can directly ignore the whirlpool’s suction force.”

This scene immediately gave many people insight, and they spoke up one after another.

”Why bother with such trouble?”

In the next moment, a black-robed youth snorted coldly.

He darted forward, his essence qi spreading outward and resisting the suction force. After a few breaths, he directly passed through the range of the whirlpools.

”Sufficiently powerful essence qi can also resist the pressure of the whirlpools.”

”So that is how it is. This level is simple.”

This time, everyone reacted immediately.

They used their essence qi to dart forward. Aside from a few cultivators whose strength was insufficient, the rest all smoothly passed through the whirlpool zone.

Li Yun was the same.

For him, passing through these whirlpools was not difficult. Since there was an easy method, there was no need for him to expose any trump cards.

After passing through this restriction, the following path became smooth once again.

Only when they were halfway to the lake’s central island did another restriction appear ahead.

They saw eighty-one small water holes arranged in a strange formation.

Every breath, thirty-three water jets would erupt from the holes.

Each water jet was extremely fast and immensely powerful. Even though everyone present was a top-tier cultivator at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm, not many would be able to withstand a direct hit.

Once struck by a water jet, one would be immediately eliminated.

”This level seems to test speed and judgment.”

A cultivator spoke.

Clearly, unless one possessed overwhelming strength, passing this level would be absolutely impossible without sufficient speed and foresight.

”A piece of cake.”

A slender cultivator brimmed with confidence.

He was clearly someone who specialized in speed. His figure was like an agile monkey as he directly entered the range of the eighty-one small water holes.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, thirty-three water jets erupted at the same time. Their speed was extreme, and they almost reached hundreds of zhang high the moment they burst forth, releasing terrifying energy fluctuations.

However, as the water jets erupted, the slender cultivator had already dodged them.

He smiled confidently, his movement as ghostly as smoke. In a flash, he reached the latter half of the water jet zone.

Splash!

Suddenly, a full forty-nine water jets erupted together, and their speed was even faster than before.

Caught off guard, the slender cultivator was directly struck and eliminated.

”What?”

”The number of erupting water jets actually increases?”

This scene caused many cultivators’ expressions to change.

Compared to the previous level, the difficulty of this one had clearly increased significantly.

Next, several cultivators attempted to charge through one after another, but almost all of them failed. Only the final cultivator barely succeeded, and there was clearly a large element of luck involved.

However, his successful attempt made the cultivators behind him look even more solemn.

This was because the final wave of water jets consisted of a full sixty-six jets erupting simultaneously, almost covering every direction without any blind spots.

”Damn it. This is only the second level. How can it already be this troublesome?”

Some of the weaker cultivators even revealed looks of despair.

They had been so confident before, believing that they could easily pass the preliminary selection. They had never expected to face elimination before even completing half the journey.

However, most cultivators did not give up.

To increase their success rate, they began charging through in groups. Some formed teams of several people, while others gathered more than a dozen cultivators to attempt the crossing together.

It had to be said that this was indeed a good method.

Although many people were inevitably eliminated, many cultivators also smoothly passed this level.

After all, although the water jets were powerful, their number was limited. Some lucky cultivators could always find gaps and successfully pass through.

”So that is how it is.”

After watching several groups of cultivators attempt the crossing, Li Yun seemed to gain some insight.

The eruption points of the water jets appeared random and without any pattern, but in reality, they still contained certain rules and mysteries. Upon careful observation, one could still discover the subtlety within.

Of course, this was not something ordinary cultivators could achieve.

Only someone like Li Yun, who possessed three souls and a divine eye, could detect the clues hidden here.

He closed his eyes, and his three souls began operating at full capacity.

Gradually, a three-dimensional image appeared in his mind. Within that image, countless lines intertwined and overlapped.

If one paid attention, one would discover that the changes in those lines corresponded exactly to the changes of the water jets.

”Found the path.”

Li Yun abruptly opened his eyes.

Without any intention of teaming up with others, he stepped forward and directly entered the water jet zone.

His speed was neither hurried nor slow. He was leisurely and unhurried, as if he were taking a casual stroll.

”Is this guy crazy?”

”A mere 2nd level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator actually wants to force his way through the water jets? He must want to be eliminated directly.”

This scene shocked everyone.

Even those who had witnessed Li Yun defeat the crew-cut cultivator with a single glance looked at him with strange expressions.

Even if Li Yun possessed soul attack methods, such methods were completely useless in the current situation. What gave him the courage to charge through like this?

Could it be that he truly believed he was not qualified to continue and wanted to eliminate himself on purpose?
