Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Chapter 109: Yang Kai – Master of Soaring Cloud Sect

A distant look flickered across his eyes, as if he were recalling events from a bygone era. After a brief pause, he began to speak.

“The Nine Sun Sect Leader’s real name was Yang Kai. He was the one hundred thirty-second sect master of the Soaring Cloud Sect. Among the many sect masters in our history, Yang Kai might not have possessed the greatest innate aptitude, but his combat power was unquestionably ranked among the top three.”

“His most glorious feat was accomplished when he annihilated twenty-eight experts of the same realm with a single arrow using the Nine Sun Heaven Chasing Arrow.”

“Those twenty-eight opponents were no ordinary figures. Each of them was a peerless genius capable of battling across realms, yet under Yang Kai’s archery, they were no different from ants and did not even possess the ability to resist.”

“When the Nine Sun Sect Leader released an arrow, no matter how many methods his enemies possessed, they were reduced to dust and ashes.”

“That battle shook the entire Southern Martial Domain, and from that day onward, Yang Kai was honored with the title of Nine Sun Arrow Emperor.”

The green-robed senior slowly recounted the legendary past, his voice heavy with reverence.

“The arrow that created Hellfire Valley was also shot by the Nine Sun Sect Leader. With the might of that single arrow alone, he truly deserved the title of Nine Sun Arrow Emperor.”

Li Yun listened in silence. After a long moment, he took a deep breath, his eyes burning with longing and determination.

“I have already begun cultivating the Nine Sun Heaven Chasing Arrow,” Li Yun thought quietly. “If I persevere and cultivate it with all my strength, I will surely follow the path of the Nine Sun Sect Leader and become a true powerhouse of the Martial Dao.”

“Five days have passed,” the green-robed elder said calmly. “According to the rules of the Eternal Sky Heavenly Tablet, you must now depart.”

“Tablet Spirit Senior, if fate permits, we will meet again,” Li Yun replied as he bowed respectfully.

“Haha, we will indeed meet again,” the green-robed elder said with a faint smile. He lifted his sleeve, and a strange power immediately enveloped Li Yun, drawing him out of the quiet chamber.

…

Eternal Sky Secret Realm. Eternal Sky Heavenly Tablet.

Although six or seven days had already passed, the area surrounding the Eternal Sky Heavenly Tablet remained crowded and lively. Many young talents had not yet left. All of them were waiting, eager to see what kind of astonishing opportunity the six individuals who had entered the tablet would emerge with.

Rumble.

Just as the crowd waited in silence, the Eternal Sky Heavenly Tablet, which had remained still for days, suddenly began to tremble violently. The cloud-like runes carved across its surface flickered and flowed once more.

“Is the comprehension finally over?”

In an instant, countless gazes locked onto the Eternal Sky Heavenly Tablet. No one dared to blink, afraid of missing even the slightest change.

Whoosh.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a powerful aura suddenly surged upward, shooting nearly a hundred meters into the air. Within that soaring aura, an illusory scene formed, showing violent winds sweeping sand and stones into a raging storm.

“That is Huo Tian!”

“It looks like he obtained a remarkable opportunity!”

The crowd quickly realized that the source of the sudden eruption was Huo Tian, who had been seated on the fifth Eternal Sky Cushion. Judging by the overwhelming aura radiating from him, it was clear that he had gained an extraordinary harvest inside the Eternal Sky Heavenly Tablet, instantly filling the onlookers with envy.

Whoosh.

As the crowd was still filled with awe, another fierce aura suddenly erupted. This aura was overwhelmingly powerful and directly pressed down on the aura released by Huo Tian. As it surged into the air, it manifested an illusory scene of countless flowers blooming in brilliant profusion.

The source of this aura was Han Lingxue, who was seated on the fourth Eternal Sky Cushion.

“The aura Han Lingxue released is far stronger than Huo Tian’s. It seems the opportunity she obtained is of much higher quality, which is why she can suppress his aura so easily. As expected of the peerless beauty ranked fourth on the New Disciples Ranking, her strength truly lives up to her reputation.”

Exclamations rippled through the crowd.

Just as everyone believed, the quality of the opportunity gained within the Eternal Sky Heavenly Tablet could be judged by the aura each person released after completing their comprehension. The stronger the aura, the more powerful the opportunity, and such an aura could naturally suppress those that were weaker.

“If even Han Lingxue, who ranks fourth, gained such a formidable opportunity, then what kind of harvest did Ye Beichen and the others in the top three obtain? And what about that Li Yun, who suddenly appeared from nowhere?”

After their initial amazement, the crowd turned their attention to Ye Beichen, Zhu Ximen, Lu Changsan, and Li Yun, all of whom remained seated in deep meditation.

Under countless expectant gazes, nearly two minutes passed before a powerful aura finally burst forth from Zhu Ximen’s body.

As everyone had anticipated, the aura he released surpassed both Han Lingxue and Huo Tian, suppressing theirs in an instant. That surging power gathered in the air and formed an illusion of a towering mountain shimmering with five distinct colors.

Rumble.

Almost immediately after Zhu Ximen, an even more imposing aura erupted. Before this presence, even Zhu Ximen’s aura appeared slightly inferior and was pressed down. The new aura surged skyward and manifested an illusory scene of boundless ice and snow.

The source of this overwhelming power was Ye Beichen.

“As expected of the one ranked first on the New Disciples Ranking.”

The aura released by Ye Beichen was astonishing, yet it did not truly shock anyone. In their eyes, it was only natural that Ye Beichen would stand above the rest and suppress all others.

“Now only Lu Changsan and Li Yun remain. I wonder what kind of opportunities they obtained, and whether they can stand on the same level as Ye Beichen.”

Once the initial amazement faded, everyone shifted their attention back to Lu Changsan and Li Yun.

Rumble.

Just as those words settled, Lu Changsan emerged from his state of comprehension. A terrifying aura erupted from his body like a volcano exploding, surging straight into the sky and forming an illusion in the air.

It was the image of a colossal hand woven from white clouds.

The pressure radiating from this giant cloud hand actually surpassed Zhu Ximen’s aura and was strong enough to contend directly with Ye Beichen’s vision of ice and snow.

At this sight, expressions across the crowd subtly changed.

Originally, most people believed that Lu Changsan, who ranked third, would at best obtain an opportunity equal to Zhu Ximen’s, or perhaps even slightly weaker. After all, Zhu Ximen was ranked above him. No one had expected Lu Changsan to surpass Zhu Ximen and reach a level where he could stand toe to toe with Ye Beichen.

“Haha, this time I truly must thank that Li Yun properly.”

Lu Changsan rose from the Eternal Sky Cushion and laughed loudly toward the heavens, his voice brimming with triumph.

As his laughter faded, a provocative sneer curved his lips. In his heart, he mocked coldly, thinking that this opportunity should have belonged to Li Yun, yet now it rested in his own hands. He imagined Li Yun seething with rage and despair at the sight, so furious that he might spit blood.

With that thought, Lu Changsan turned his gaze toward Li Yun, eager to see his reaction and provoke him further.

Rumble.

The instant Lu Changsan’s eyes landed on Li Yun, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.
