My Text-Based Cultivation Game

I thought the Third Elder had changed his ways, but it seems I was overthinking it.

However, although the Third Elder spoke harshly, if anything were to happen to that kid who climbed Sword Peak, the Third Elder would definitely be the first to come to his rescue.

Although the Third Elder was stubborn and strict with his disciples, he was the one who protected them the most when it came to important matters.

Seeing the Third Elder's state, Wang Boqi resumed his lazy demeanor.

Climbing Sword Peak? Interesting.

Just as the Third Elder said, this sword peak appears to be just an ordinary mountain, but after being cleaved in two by a Nascent Soul level sword cultivator and imprinted with his unique sword intent, the entire mountain is now shrouded in sword intent, and anyone who gets close will be suppressed by the sword intent on the mountain.

In mild cases, the sword intent will cause the inhabitants to kneel down in submission; in severe cases, the sword intent will overwhelm them to the point of losing their senses.

Otherwise, the outer disciples of the Xuantian Sect who come here to observe the sword intent would only be watching from afar, instead of directly embracing this mountain to carefully comprehend it.

If simply embracing this mountain could lead to a better understanding of sword intent, then someone would definitely do something even more abstract and outrageous than Yunyang climbing the mountain now.

Don't underestimate the cultivators' obsession with immortality and power!

Sitting on his flying sword, Wang Boqi was actually quite surprised that Yunyang could climb so high, as if he wasn't suppressed by the sword intent on the mountain.

This kid with three spiritual powers seems to have an extraordinary tolerance for sword intent.

Wang Boqi was also very curious: just how high could this guy, who always manages to do something unexpected, climb?

700 meters, 1000 meters, 1200 meters, 1500 meters...

As Yunyang climbed higher and higher, even the outer disciples who were focused on comprehending the sword intent stopped trying and instead watched Yunyang climb the mountain with unwavering eyes.

What started as "Who's so reckless as to climb Sword Peak?" has transformed into "Holy crap, who is this guy? He's so awesome?"

How could he still climb up?

Wouldn't he be suppressed by the sword intent on the sword peak?

Even without suppression, he...

Doesn't he get tired?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yunyang quickly climbed more than halfway up the mountain.

At this moment, everyone's thoughts changed again.

Keep going! Climb a little higher!

It's like playing Russian roulette with a single bullet: the first three shots everyone wants you dead, but the last two shots everyone wants you alive.

Wang Boqi and the Third Elder shared the same thought: after Yunyang had climbed more than halfway up, they both hoped that he would climb a little higher.

How long can Yunyang hold on?

It is important to know that the closer you get to the top, the stronger the suppression of sword intent you will experience.

Can……

persist in?

This word doesn't describe it very well.

Because Yunyang is still climbing upwards like a monkey, when he runs out of stamina, he will find a place to rest for a while and then continue to climb quickly upwards.

Where does this talk of insisting come from?

Climbing a small hill is nothing to me.

Two thousand meters, two thousand five hundred meters, three thousand meters!

It's almost at the top!

Everyone's heart tightened.

Keep going! You're almost there!

Of course, there are other ideas behind this.

That's right, it's Zhang Xianhan.

This was the only person present who didn't want Yunyang to climb up.

Hmm... maybe only four.

After all, he has three underlings.

Zhang Xianhan sensed something was wrong. Yunyang had now attracted everyone's attention, making it difficult for him to make a move!

This is not something that can be done openly!

But Yunyang doesn't care about this or that, he's already about to reach the summit!

Yunyang looked up at the mountain peak that was so close at hand. Suddenly, a short animation popped up on the screen. In the animation, a white figure was standing on the mountain peak, wielding a sword.

What the heck?

Skip this part quickly, don't interrupt my hike.

After skipping this cutscene, Yunyang found an open space to rest temporarily. Once he had accumulated a full stamina bar, he went straight to the top!

Oh open!

We reached the top!

we are the champion!

Swipe the screen to look down at the sea of ​​clouds floating halfway up the mountain, and the palace complex that appears and disappears in the sea of ​​clouds. Yunyang felt an unprecedented sense of joy welling up in his heart.

This is what freedom feels like!

[Having reached the summit of Twin Sword Peaks, your mind is clear, and your spiritual energy surges slightly, hinting at a potential breakthrough. Do you choose to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?]

Wrong, wrong.

I'm not free anymore, I'm not free anymore.

The outer sect competition isn't over yet, so I can't break through now.

Thankfully, this time there's a "No" option.

Ok?

The Third Elder and Wang Boqi at the foot of the mountain frowned. They had just sensed with their divine sense that Yunyang at the top of the mountain seemed to be showing signs of a breakthrough, but this sign only appeared for a moment and quickly disappeared.

What happened? Did the breakthrough fail?

Didn't this kid get a Foundation Establishment Pill during the entrance exam? Could it be that he didn't bring it with him?

How could this breakthrough have failed?

The Third Elder was somewhat anxious, so he quickly flew towards the summit.

Wang Boqi followed closely behind.

But when they reached the summit, they found Yunyang standing there full of energy, arms outstretched, breathing in the air with great enjoyment.

Are you enjoying yourself (a vulgar term in the cultivation world)?

"Hey kid, what just happened to you?"

Ok?

Why did these two suddenly show up?

Has this triggered a new plot development?

[When asked by the Third Elder, you choose to answer:]

[Option 1: What happened?]

Option 2: What's it to you? Look at you (a vulgar expression used in the cultivation world)!

"..."

To be honest, Yunyang was tempted to choose the second option, but as an outstanding young man of the 21st century, he ultimately chose option one.

Good children shouldn't swear.

"You were just about to break through, so why did you suddenly stop?"

"Well, if you don't want to break through, then don't."

"???!"

Wang Boqi quickly patted the Third Elder on the back to comfort him, who was glaring and puffing out his beard in anger.

The Third Elder looked at Wang Boqi, his finger trembling as he pointed at Yunyang. His angry eyes seemed to say:

Listen to what he's saying, is he even speaking human language?

They're definitely not speaking human language.

That's just an act. To be honest, Wang Boqi also wanted to go over and give Yunyang a couple of punches.

What do you mean by "if you don't want to break through, then you don't"? Does this kid even know how many cultivators want to advance further?

Take the Qi Refining stage to Foundation Establishment stage, for example. How many cultivators want to break through to Foundation Establishment every year? But due to various limitations, they can hardly make any further progress. You, kid, were able to break through to the threshold but gave up on your own. Any cultivator who heard this would want to kick you a couple of times.

The Third Elder took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then looked at Yunyang and patiently asked, "So, what insights did you gain from climbing these Twin Sword Peaks?"

"Insights? I don't have any insights," Yunyang shrugged. "I just wanted to climb up here and take a look."

"He...he...he!" The Third Elder's voice trembled with anger. "Xiao Qi, look at him!"

Wang Boqi sighed and patted the Third Elder on the back, nodding repeatedly.

I understand, I also wanted to go up and kick him a couple of times.

But that doesn't make sense. This kid was able to climb Sword Peak, which means he has a strong talent for swordsmanship. It's impossible that he couldn't comprehend any sword intent.

So Wang Boqi asked again, "Didn't you sense any sword intent or anything like that?"

"Sword intent?" Yunyang recalled a short CG clip of someone wielding a sword that popped up on the screen when he was almost at the summit, and asked, "You mean you saw someone wielding a sword on the mountaintop?"
