He had originally thought that the young sect leader of this Immortal Sect would impart him some methods, but he didn’t expect to be brought to such a place.
If there was such a magical place, how could the Immortal Sect be in such dire states today?
Could they all be retards?
However, it was fine even if he didn’t understand. At the very least, he was pretty satisfied with the results of this trip.
He then changed his stance and started to cultivate!
After spending an hour stabilizing his body, he gradually adapted to this strange environment. Yun Liao continuously circulated his qi according to his cultivation art, letting his qi flow within his entire body.
He then channeled his qi to ram the Earth Destruction Arterial Gate point on his left wrist.
The path leading to the Earth Destruction Arterial Gate was very narrow, and it could only be opened through continuous ramming.
In the past, he had tried to ram it in this manner, but the effect was simply too weak. Despite spending an entire day, he couldn’t see any effect.
But things were different now. In this unique environment, he was ramming the arterial gate with a 9x enhancement in speed.
Cultivating here was 9x more effective compared to the outside world, so there was no need to worry about not having enough time. The most terrifying thing was that if this was to continue, Yun Liao truly didn’t dare to imagine what his harvest might be like.
Cultivating here for a year was equal to nine years of other cultivators’ effort?
So, was cultivating for ten years here equal to 90 years? It was almost a lifetime!
The more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt.
At this moment, Wen Ping sat at the side and watched for a while. After a while, he headed back via the path he had taken here and returned swiftly after getting a tea flask and a teacup from the Rain Listening Pavilion.
This sit of his lasted all the way until evening.
When half of the sky was filled with red streaks, a voice suddenly rang out in his ear.
It was the system again.
However, it wasn’t because a new mission had been issued nor was it any surprise. This time, it was something that caused Wen Ping to feel a little depressed.
"Host, Yun Liao has spent 8 hours cultivating in the gravity field. Please drive him out immediately!"
"Drive him out, this term is truly incisive." Wen Ping knew about this rule. He was also driven out after he had cultivated for 8 hours every day.
"As a super sect, as well as a unique sect in the world, other than having a unique sect leader, we also need a unique standard of recruitment. Currently, both the sect leader and criteria for recruitment are already unique, so the third point is that our sect rules have to be unique as well. Even an elder can only cultivate for 8 hours in the gravity field daily."
"Can you compromise a little? This Yun Liao is a cultivator at the thirteenth level of the Body Refinement Realm. Let’s remove the time restriction for him, alright?"
He wanted to say something. (System, if you keep making such restrictions, we will lose Yun Liao.)
However, the system still replied to him as coldly as before, "There’s no discussion on this. Naturally, the host can choose not to do so."
Feeling helpless, Wen Ping could only stand up. He then picked up a rock from the ground and forcefully threw it at Yun Liao who was in a completely focused state from cultivation.
Yun Liao hated people disturbing him during his cultivation the most. Hence, he glanced around and asked, "Who is it?"
After that, he saw Wen Ping standing not far away and waving his hands at him.
Wen Ping said, "Come out!"
Although Yun Liao was a little unhappy, he could only respond since the other party was currently his boss. "Sect Leader Wen, today, I, Yun, plan to continue cultivating here all the way and try to open my Earth Destruction Gate, so I can enter the Mystic Realm as soon as possible. If you have some matters you need to handle, just go ahead and be busy with them."
Hearing this, Yun Liao started. He was puzzled as he asked, "What time?"
"According to our sect rules, ordinary disciples can only cultivate in the gravity field for six hours. Although you are not an ordinary disciple, you can at most cultivate for eight hours in there according to your level."
When Yun Liao heard this, his countenance turned somewhat unsightly, and he felt as though he just got swindled. "Sect Leader Wen, you are the one who promised to help me break through to the Mystic Realm. This is the reason why I was willing to join the Immortal Sect. You are going back on your words now."
"I did promise you that, but this is one of our sect rules. If you are unwilling to comply, I can only say sorry and put you inside the no-correspondence name list. Moreover, I won’t refund the 1,000 gold. If you don’t want to go out, from now onward, you are no longer someone from the Immortal Sect."
"Sect Leader Wen, given the current state of the Immortal Sect, there’s no need to obey whatever sect rules, right?" Honestly speaking, Yun Liao was truly unwilling to leave. After breaking through to the thirteenth level of Body Refinement, one could survive even if they didn’t eat for half a month. Hence, he really planned to cultivate for half a month here without going out.
Yun Liao continued. "Sect Leader Wen, are we not friends?"
"Forget it, I’ll just obey this rule."
There was no solution to it, so Yun Liao could only leave the gravity field. But after he exited, he still had a look of yearning on his face as he turned his head back to look at it.
At this moment, Wen Ping spoke, "Sir Yun Liao, you are someone from my Immortal Sect, so I hope you can follow and comply with the sect rules clearly. If not, I’ll put you on a blacklist and refuse all correspondence with you."
"Understood, Sect Leader Wen." Yun Liao nodded. After that, he smiled. "Sect Leader Wen, is there no room for negotiation?"
A 9x increment in cultivation speed... Even wasting 15 minutes outside made him feel like he had wasted a few hours.
Wen Ping replied, "You can continue to cultivate tomorrow. Sir Yun, why is there a need to be so hasty?"
"Alright then, I’ll come here first thing in the morning."
He truly couldn’t understand why the Immortal Sect had such a rule. Could it be that a great cultivator like him at the thirteenth level of the Body Refinement Realm didn’t have any status here?
The Immortal Sect wasn’t even a 1-star sect now, right?
The entry fee was 1,000 gold, and the cultivation area also had a time limit.
The rules were truly strange. This was unprecedented.
However, Yun Liao could only comply. After all, he had joined the Immortal Sect and realized how impressive this place was.
It was just that asking him to leave at this moment truly made him feel worse than being killed.
For him, the qi circulation speed outside wasn’t ordinarily slow. It was comparable to a turtle crawling.
After that, the night came.
Uncle Wang had prepared food, so Wen Ping brought Yun Liao along with him and took the chance to introduce Yun Liao to Uncle Wang. After that, he took half of the 1,000 gold coins and passed them to Uncle Wang. This sum of money was for their living expenses.
After filling their bellies, Wen Ping arranged for Yun Liao to stay in the main hall where elders resided, and he went to the gravity field.
When he arrived there and was preparing to start today’s cultivation, the system’s voice rang out again.
"Host, do you want to upgrade the gravity field? You have to spend 500 gold coins to unlock a new ability for the gravity field."
"So, you have your sights fixed on my money."
The system calmly replied, "You can also choose not to unlock the ability. In any case, I won’t be the one losing out."
Wen Ping reckoned that what the system wanted was face. Right now, it was most assuredly showing an expression of extreme nonchalance, the type where one would feel like beating it up when they saw such an expression.
However, it was a pity for his money. He hadn’t even warmed his pockets with it yet and already had to give it to the system.
[Upgrade in progress...]
[Time needed for upgrade: 3 hours.]
[New ability unlocked: Laser rays. The dragon pillars will shoot out high-speed lasers, and their numbers will depend on the user’s cultivation level. Under the higher gravity environment, the user can use the 9x factor to enhance their reaction speed, improve their muscle memory, and stimulate their inner potential.]
After seeing the introduction, Wen Ping slowly began to feel that the 500 gold coins were well spent indeed.
Now, the gravity field could truly be used for all aspects of cultivation.
The system then said, "Host, as a unique cultivation area, after the gravity field is upgraded, this is no longer a free cultivation place. The time restriction still exists, but the user will be charged 5 gold coins every hour."
