Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System-Chapter 207: Start of the Four Peaks Tournament!

Li Yun was happy that he had gotten his hands on the Heavenly Lightning Codex. This was a top grade Earth Rank martial art which Li Yun believe would come in handy for a long time.

’Status.’ With that Li Yun checked his status.

[Name: Li Yun]

– Cultivation: [Sixth level of Xiantian Realm]

– Physique: [Primal Chaos Body]

– Eye: [Nine Tribulations Divine Eye(left)]

– Spirit Soul: [Green Soul]

– Comprehension: [4th Tier]

– Experience: [46200]

"46000 EXP!" Li Yun was briefly stunned when he saw the amount of EXP he had obtained, but the surprise quickly faded into a faint smile. He had completed numerous missions without interruption, so such a reward was only natural.

Calming his thoughts, he shifted his attention to the list of rewards. Among them, one immediately caught his eye.

It was a clue.

A clue related to the Five Elemental Cultivation Art. He recalled one of the missions giving a clue about Five Elemental Cultivation Art.

[Clue – Yin Cloud Mountain Range]

"Yin Cloud Mountain Range?" Li Yun frowned slightly as the name surfaced in his mind.

He remembered it clearly. That place was the same mountain range where the Blood Zombie Demon General was said to be hiding.

He had not expected that the clue to the Five Elemental Cultivation Art would point to the exact same location.

"The method to condense killing intent lies in the hands of the Blood Zombie Demon General, and now the Five Elemental Cultivation Art is also connected to that place?"

Li Yun’s gaze grew deeper as he considered this coincidence.

It was no longer a simple destination.

It was a place that held two things he needed the most.

"It seems I have no choice but to go to the Yin Cloud Mountain Range."

Even as he said this, he remained calm. He had no intention of rushing in recklessly. The Blood Zombie Demon General was a terrifying existence, likely at the middle or late stages of the Qi Sea Realm. With his current strength, facing such an opponent would be nothing short of courting death.

After thinking for a while, Li Yun slowly formed a plan.

"I will go there after the Four Peaks Tournament."

His reasoning was simple. The tournament would offer substantial rewards, and if he could obtain them, his strength would rise significantly. Only then would he have the confidence to face the Blood Zombie Demon General.

Having made his decision, Li Yun nodded to himself.

"There are still two and a half months left before the tournament begins. I must reach the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm within that time." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

With that goal firmly set in his mind, he turned and returned to his courtyard. After closing the doors behind him, he entered seclusion once again, fully dedicating himself to cultivation.

Two and a half months passed in what felt like a fleeting moment, and before long, the day of the Four Peaks Tournament finally arrived.

Li Yun stepped out of seclusion with a bright and confident smile on his face.

His progress during this period had been tremendous. His cultivation had successfully advanced to the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm, and his comprehension of various intents had also deepened significantly.

His Lightning Intent had reached thirty percent mastery, while both his Flame Intent and Wind Intent had reached ten percent mastery. Even his Sword Intent had advanced further, reaching twenty percent mastery.

However, what truly excited him was not just the improvement in his cultivation or intents, but the breakthrough of his physique. He had successfully stepped into the second stage of the World Bearing Devil Suppressing Physique.

This advancement brought about a terrifying change. His body weight had increased to one hundred times its normal state. During the first stage, his weight had only increased tenfold, but now the burden had multiplied ten times over once again.

Without his precise control over qi, even basic movement would have become extremely difficult under such overwhelming weight.

"I should also thank my Chaos Qi," Li Yun murmured softly with a faint smile.

He understood that if he had relied on ordinary qi like other martial artists, maintaining control over such a heavy body would have been far more difficult, even with perfect mastery. His Chaos Qi, however, possessed a unique stability and strength that allowed him to support his body with ease.

At that moment, a deep and resonant bell sound echoed across the Four Peaks of the Martial Ascension Gate.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The clear and melodious chime spread through the entire sect.

In an instant, the previously quiet peaks came alive. Disciples poured out from every direction, and the entire area became filled with energy and anticipation.

Today marked the beginning of the Four Peaks Tournament, an event held once every ten years.

For the disciples of the Martial Ascension Gate, this tournament carried immense importance. It determined not only the standing of each peak within the sect, but also the distribution of resources they would receive from the central Grand Ascension Peak over the next decade.

The higher a peak ranked, the more resources it would obtain. With greater resources, stronger disciples could be nurtured, and the overall strength of the peak would continue to rise.

It was a cycle that could elevate a peak to greatness or push it further into decline.

However, if the results of the Four Peaks Tournament were poor, the resources allocated by the Grand Ascension Peak would become scarce. With limited resources, it would be nearly impossible to nurture powerful experts, and the overall strength of the peak would gradually decline, trapping it in a downward spiral that was difficult to escape.

Heaven Mandate Peak was a perfect example of this. Once the strongest among the Four Peaks, it had slowly fallen to the bottom of the rankings after being caught in such a cycle of decline.

Of course, the disciples of the Four Peaks did not value the tournament solely for the sake of their respective peaks. More than anything, they cared about what it meant for their own future. If they performed well in the Four Peaks Tournament, they would attract the attention of their peak head and receive focused training and valuable resources upon their return.

Li Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged in his courtyard, slowly exhaled a breath of impure qi after hearing the distant sound of the bell. He opened his eyes, and a sharp glint of anticipation flickered deep within them.

"Everyone, gather at the Heaven Mandate Hall."

A powerful voice echoed through the air. It was not loud, yet it carried clearly into the ears of every disciple of Heaven Mandate Peak.

"Yes."

Li Yun responded calmly before rising to his feet. His figure moved like a streak of light as he cut through the air and headed toward the main hall.
