Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System - Chapter 151: True Sword Intent!
Chapter 151: True Sword Intent!
The Martial Dao Sacred Fruit did not look extraordinary at first glance. Its surface was smooth and unblemished, and its size was no larger than Li Yun’s fist. However, the aura it emitted was solemn and sacred, as if it carried within it the essence of countless insights into the martial path.
The surrounding air seemed subtly purified in its presence, and faint ripples of Dao intent lingered around it like an invisible halo.
Li Yun could clearly sense its value. If such a fruit were to appear in the wilderness, it would undoubtedly trigger a bloody struggle. Hundreds of thousands of wild beasts would be drawn to it by instinct alone, tearing each other apart for even a chance to devour it.
He took a steady breath. “Let’s try it,” he murmured.
Without hesitation, he placed the entire fruit into his mouth. The flesh dissolved almost instantly upon contact, transforming into a warm and gentle current that flowed down his throat. In the next moment, a vast and pure energy erupted within his body.
Li Yun’s expression turned serious as he immediately sat down cross legged and entered meditation.
The energy did not feel violent. Instead, it was profound and boundless, like a calm ocean that contained immeasurable depth. It surged through his meridians and into his dantian, spreading outward toward every Intent Seed he had comprehended.
His Killing Intent Seed began to tremble.
His Sword Intent Seed flickered with a brighter glow.
His other comprehended elements such as fire, wind and lightning which hadn’t entered an intent seed level stage all resonated as if they had encountered a source of nourishment perfectly suited for them.
Yet the most intense reaction came from his Sword Intent Seed.
The small seed that had once felt like a sharp yet incomplete blade now pulsed with unprecedented vigor. The Martial Dao Sacred Fruit was not merely increasing his cultivation. It was elevating his understanding of Dao itself. Streams of insight flooded his mind, each one deepening his perception of the sword.
Li Yun’s breathing slowed.
His mind sank into a profound state of stillness.
Within his consciousness, he saw countless swords. Some were heavy and unyielding. Some were swift and ethereal. Some were simple and direct. Each carried its own Dao, its own understanding. Those fragmented insights merged together, refining his comprehension again and again.
The Sword Intent Seed floating around the gaseous orb of chaos qi within his dantian trembled violently, as if it could no longer remain confined in its original form. Cracks appeared on its surface. Light seeped through those cracks, growing brighter with every passing breath.
The aura around Li Yun gradually changed.
What had once been sharp and condensed began to feel vast and complete. The pressure of his Sword Intent deepened, no longer just a concentrated will but a fully realized path.
Suddenly, within his dantian, the Sword Intent Seed shattered.
It did not collapse into nothingness. Instead, it transformed.
A brilliant surge of Sword Intent burst outward, pure and unwavering. The fragmented seed was replaced by a flowing current of true Sword Intent that circulated freely within him, no longer restrained by the limitations of a seed.
What had been before a seed now took the shape of a small blue glowing sword which still revolved around the gaseous state of orb of chaos qi with his Killing Intent Seed.
Outside, a faint sword hum resonated in the air around him. The ground beneath him trembled slightly as invisible sword energy spread in all directions, yet it remained perfectly controlled.
Li Yun remained seated, eyes closed, completely immersed in meditation.
The Martial Dao Sacred Fruit continued to nourish his other Intent Seeds as well, raising their overall Dao foundation to a new height. However, it was the Sword Intent that underwent the most dramatic transformation.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yun slowly opened his eyes.
A sharp brilliance flickered within them.
His Sword Intent Seed was no longer immature and incomplete.
It had become true Sword Intent.
“So a single martial dao sacred fruit can only elevate one Intent Seed to the level of True Intent.”
Li Yun frowned slightly.
Originally, he had hoped to advance both his Sword Intent Seed and his Killing Intent Seed to the True Intent realm. However, the fruit’s power was limited to a single breakthrough. For now, he could only prioritize his Sword Intent. Unless he managed to obtain another martial dao sacred fruit in the future, elevating his Killing Intent would have to wait.
Still, his disappointment quickly gave way to careful analysis.
“Although this fruit will primarily help me transform my Sword Intent Seed into True Sword Intent, it will also enhance my overall martial dao comprehension,” he murmured to himself. “My understanding of flame, wind, and lightning should also deepen as a result.”
His gaze sharpened.
“If I can cultivate the low grade Profound Rank section of my top grade Profound Rank cultivation arts of these three elements to the fifteenth layer, I should be able to condense Intent Seeds for those three elements as well.”
The thought steadied his mood.
With that realization, Li Yun summoned his system interface and calmly checked his current status.
—
[Name: Li Yun]
– Cultivation: [1st level of Xiantian Realm]
– Physique: [Primal Chaos Body]
– Eye: [Nine Tribulations Divine Eye(left)]
– Spirit Soul: [Yellow Soul]
– Comprehension: [3rd Tier]
– Experience: [23200]
—
“23200 EXP?” Li Yun muttered smiling. “It should be enough to increase my comprehension to another stage.”
Even so he still checked how much EXP was needed to level up his comprehension to next tier.
—
[Comprehension]
– Experience Required to Level Up: 3750
– Condition: Green Spirit Soul
– Upgrade: 4th Tier
—
“I will need 3750 EXP to increase the comprehension stat…. What about the Spirit Soul stat?” Li Yun thought as he checked the spirit soul status.
—
[Spirit Soul]
– Experience Required to Level Up: 7500
– Upgrade: Green
—
“Hmm… the Spirit Soul requires another 7500 EXP to advance. That brings the total expenditure to 11250 EXP, which is nearly half of my current reserves.”
Li Yun quickly ran through the numbers in his mind and confirmed the calculation. The cost was indeed 11250 EXP.
Although it would consume almost half of everything he had accumulated, he did not hesitate.
Without the slightest reluctance, he instructed the system to upgrade both his Spirit Soul and his Comprehension.
After all, what had he been completing missions for?
Every trial, every risk, every battle had been undertaken precisely for moments like this.
[Spirit Soul advanced to Green Stage Spirit Soul]
[-7500 EXP]
—
[Comprehension advanced to 4th Tier]
[-3750 EXP]
