Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Chapter 453: Moon Orchid Tea Gathering

"Moon Orchid Tea Gathering?"

Li Yun raised an eyebrow.

"The Moon Orchid Tea Gathering is a grand banquet hosted by Senior Sister Lan Yue. It is specially arranged to invite Outer Sect Disciples with extraordinary potential. Those who perform brilliantly during the gathering may even receive a chance to join the Moon Orchid Society established by Senior Sister Lan Yue."

When Jian Wuchen mentioned Senior Sister Lan Yue, a look of admiration and respect appeared on his face. He continued, "Senior Sister Lan Yue is a powerful figure ranked among the top ten Inner Sect Disciples. Her cultivation reached the peak of the Earthly Core Realm long ago, and she may take the final step at any moment, break through to the Heavenly Core Realm, and become a True Disciple."

"Not only that, but there is a genuine True Disciple standing behind Senior Sister Lan Yue. Because of this, the Moon Orchid Society she established is one of the strongest factions in the entire Inner Sect."

"Li Yun, if you can catch Senior Sister Lan Yue’s attention and enter the Moon Orchid Society, even the forces of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom will find it difficult to threaten you before you become a True Disciple. You must not miss this opportunity."

"Join the Moon Orchid Society?"

Li Yun shook his head and said calmly, "I have no interest."

The Heavenly Sword Sect was a great power that dominated an entire region and possessed tens of thousands of disciples. It was countless times larger than a force like the Martial Ascension Gate, so its internal relationships were naturally far more complicated.

From the high-ranking elders to True Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and even Outer Sect Disciples, every level was divided into numerous factions. The Starheaven Ancient Kingdom and the Moonveil Ancient Kingdom each had their own groups within the sect.

The Moon Orchid Society was a powerful faction active among both Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples. Among the Inner Sect Disciples in particular, it could be ranked near the top.

However, Li Yun had no intention of joining any faction for the time being.

Once he joined a faction, he would inevitably be pulled into its conflicts and struggles for influence. Such matters consumed too much time and energy, and Li Yun had no desire to waste himself on them at this stage.

"Li Yun, you..."

Hearing Li Yun refuse so directly, Jian Wuchen immediately became anxious.

Jian Wuchen himself was a member of the Moon Orchid Society. Within the society, recommending new members, especially talented geniuses, was considered a great contribution.

He knew very well how terrifying Li Yun’s talent was. Since he had already encountered such a genius, he naturally wanted to find a way to bring him into the Moon Orchid Society.

"Right."

As if he suddenly remembered something, a smile appeared on Jian Wuchen’s face. He looked at Li Yun and said, "Li Yun, do not refuse so quickly. As far as I know, Senior Sister Lan Yue will reward the best performer at this Moon Orchid Tea Gathering with a piece of Azure Origin Immortal Wood. I am sure you would not want to miss that."

"Azure Origin Immortal Wood?"

Hearing these four words, Li Yun’s heart stirred.

The Azure Origin Immortal Wood was a low-grade Earth Rank spiritual material. Although it was only at the lowest grade among Earth Rank materials, its effect still far surpassed top-grade Profound Rank spiritual materials.

A single piece of Azure Origin Immortal Wood would be enough for Li Yun to cultivate the World Tree Manifestation Art of the Five Element Supreme Divine Art to the perfection stage.

If he truly accomplished that, his healing ability would rise to an entirely new level.

Even if his arms or legs were cut off, he would be able to heal and regenerate new limbs within a single day. That was the miraculous power of the World Tree Manifestation Art within the Five Element Supreme Divine Art.

If it had been a spiritual material of any other attribute, Li Yun might not have cared much. However, wood-attribute materials were the rarest among the five elements. If he missed this opportunity, he did not know when he would find another suitable treasure.

"Alright."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yun finally nodded.

"Good."

Seeing Li Yun agree, Jian Wuchen laughed loudly. "Li Yun, I knew you would make a wise choice. I look forward to seeing you shine at the Moon Orchid Tea Gathering five days from now."

After saying this, Jian Wuchen left.

Watching Jian Wuchen depart, Li Yun shook his head and entered Room 1.

Room 1 had originally belonged to Duan Haolie, but since Duan Haolie had already been defeated by him, the room naturally belonged to Li Yun now.

Even if Duan Haolie knew about it, he would not object, and he would not dare to object.

That was exactly what happened. When Duan Haolie and the others returned and saw that Li Yun had occupied Room 1, Duan Haolie did not say a word. He silently moved to Room 2 instead. As for the thin young man, his face was full of bitterness as he was forced to move into the worst room, Room 5.

For the next five days, Li Yun did not take even a single step out of his room. He spent all his time silently refining the Sword-Nurturing Gourd.

Under the nourishment of the Sword-Nurturing Gourd, the ten Violet Shadow Swords gradually drew closer to the middle-grade Earth Rank. Based on Li Yun’s estimate, they would truly complete their transformation in about another month.

His execution of the Soul Sword Control Art also became increasingly proficient.

In addition, Li Yun’s mastery of the Spirit Sword Sealing Formation grew smoother and more refined.

After his modifications, this martial skill had already reached the level of a middle-grade Earth Rank technique, and his mastery over it had reached intermediate accomplishment. If late-stage Mortal Core Realm experts at the 7th, 8th, or 9th level were caught off guard, at least fifty percent of their essence qi could be suppressed by him for a short time.

As for ordinary 6th level Mortal Core Realm cultivators, if they had no special defensive methods, their essence qi would be completely suppressed by him, leaving them unable to use even a trace of their power.
