Nian Ciyu left after explaining everything she knew to Yi Tianyun. She couldn't stay there even if she wanted to as there were many other things she had to do. She was an Elder, and therefore she had so many responsibilities that she ought to take care of.
"I will go check out how this place works." Yi Tianyun said to himself as he saw Nian Ciyu leave. He immediately went down the path and eventually ran. He immediately felt the life energy flowing into him from the ground, giving him Exp as he ran.
'Acquire 5.000 Exp, 6.000 Exp, 7.000 Exp, …!'
As he gradually went down, he gained more Exp. He didn't need to absorb it as the Exp came in the form of Life Energy. Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised as he didn't expect this place had that kind of feature. Yi Tianyun knew that the life energy that he felt also reinforced the huge tree that he saw upstairs and the planet itself!
"Can this life energy affect me too?" Yi Tianyun murmured. He didn't know the source of this life energy, but if it had a good effect on his body, he sure didn't mind. Nevertheless, Yi Tianyun could already breakthrough into Heaven Monarch, but he didn't want to do it so soon. Yi Tianyun planned to breakthrough to the Heaven Monarch stage the normal way, which meant he would climb to the Earth Monarch Peak stage first.
As Yi Tianyun tried to condense the Life Energy that he got, he realised that it was pure Star Energy! This planet would keep producing Star Energy that could be absorbed by the living organism living inside.
There was no doubt this planet was an important one. It was the perfect place for a 1st Grade God Domain in particular that needed a place to cultivate the cultivator that came from the Mortal Domain!
The deeper Yi Tianyun got, the more Exp he got. He would definitely level up if he kept going! The Dantian in his body was also strengthened by the Life Energy, the same kind of effect from the first assessment he got the first time he joined Heavenly Edict Divine Territory.
Yi Tianyun checked his Dantian and found out that it was almost levelled up to 2nd Grade Dantian! Obviously, if his Dantian levelled up, his power would rise along with it. The stronger his Dantian was, the stronger his meridians would be.
"This place is better than I thought! I am gaining Exp on top of expanding my Dantian! I wouldn't mind expanding my Dantian to the size of the planet!" Yi Tianyun said with a smirk as he delved deeper.
'Acquired 20.000 Exp, 30.000 Exp, 40.000 Exp, …'
The Exp he got quickly escalated as he went down. The pressure multiplied as he already went deeper than 1 Km. The pressure was really intense, even though it was only a kilometer deep!
No wonder Gu Yanlong could only stay at 16 Km as the pressure was really intense! Either way, it was not that bad to stay there.
Yi Tianyun saw many cultivators meditating on the side along the path. But Yi Tianyun wasn't going to stop any time soon! His body was still light, and the pressure still hadn't gotten to him just yet, so he believed that he could go deeper.
Yi Tianyun soon reached the 16 Km mark and spotted Gu Yanlong. Gu Yanlong himself sensed that someone was coming and opened his eyes.
"You are here, Yi Tianyun!" Gu Yanlong was surprised to see Yi Tianyun here.
"Team Leader Gu, long time no see." Yi Tianyun said as he smiled.
"We haven't met for a while now." Gu Yanlong said as he smiled. "I heard that you really made a name for yourself. Yurong already told me that you are in a whole another league compared to average cultivators!" Gu Yanlong said with a smile on his face. "But this is the 16 Km mark, yet you didn't even break a sweat, how come?" Gu Yanlong asked curiously.
"I am just going forward the best my body could go." Yi Tianyun said modestly.
"Isn't this the Human Cultivator back then?" Shu Yuan on the side stood up and saw Yi Tianyun. He immediately realised that Yi Tianyun already got an exemption to come here as Shu Yuan believed that Yi Tianyun wouldn't have the requirement to come here without it. It would also mean that Yi Tianyun was worthy to come here!
This kind of cultivator was usually the seed of the participants for God Domain's War of Ascension.
"Yes, this is the Human Cultivator you deemed useless to the Territory back then." Gu Yanlong smirked as he taunted Shu Yuan.
"Shut up!" Shu Yuan said as he couldn't refute Gu Yanlong's word. He could only enter this place after getting his hand on all the requirements, while Yi Tianyun easily got in because of his potential.
"Then I will continue my cultivation! Every time in this place is really precious! I am here for two months." Gu Yanlong said to Yi Tianyun.
"Well, good luck on your cultivation, Team Leader Gu, I will delve deeper." Yi Tianyun said as he rushed down once again.
"How can that brat keep going?" Shu Yuan was startled as he saw Yi Tianyun delve deeper. He was already at his limit in this spot, so he instinctively knew that he couldn't go any deeper.
The pressure was really unbearable, and the pressure down there would be a lot heavier! But Yi Tianyun rushed towards the 20 Km mark, leaving both Gu Yanlong and Shu Yuan behind. Both of them were quite surprised because as far as they knew, Yi Tianyun was still at the Star Monarch cultivation base at the last time they saw him.
But how could a Star Monarch delve that deep?
