Chapter 45 - Relentless Cultivation! Breakthrough! Gang Qi Realm!!
Chapter 45:
“The invincible Mountain Shifting Technique—who in this world could possibly stand against it?” Yang Yi’s heart swelled with pride and exhilaration. He did not doubt that once this technique was applied in combat, it would become an unparalleled weapon in his arsenal.
With another powerful stomp, he slammed his foot into the ground, causing the previously dug pit to deepen and widen under the explosive force. Then, without hesitation, he carried the corpses over and laid them in the pit before activating the Mountain Shifting Technique again to cover them, burying them properly. Exhaling deeply, Yang Yi finally felt a sense of relief settle in his chest.
“At long last, I’ve cleared all the passageways. Now, it’s time to rest well and prepare for the next step,” he murmured. “I must strive to break through to the Gang Qi Realm soon. Once I succeed, I can begin making plans for the Inner Palace.”
As these thoughts formed, Yang Yi turned and walked out of the corridor. He didn’t believe infiltrating the Inner Palace would be too difficult; the real challenge would be entering the Emperor’s true tomb. Still, he wasn’t overly concerned—he had time on his side. He also knew that the imperial guards and tomb guardians within the Inner Palace would likely become his final source of bitter cultivation time. “Darling, you’re back!” Meng Jiangnu greeted him as soon as he stepped outside. “What happened in there? Was everything smooth?”
Both she and Qinglian had remained outside, anxiously awaiting him. From their position, they could only hear the echoes of violent rumblings from within, occasionally mixed with faint beastly roars. Naturally, this had left them worried. “Everything went very smoothly,” Yang Yi replied casually. “Everyone inside the passageway is dead.”
As he spoke, he briefly summarised the events that had unfolded, although he deliberately omitted any mention of the skills and techniques he had gained through corpse-looting. “To think that even in the face of death, there are still people who hold such great virtue,” Meng Jiangnu sighed softly after hearing about the Mountain Shifter. “Just like you, my darling.”
“Let’s head back for now. Once I’ve rested and successfully broken through, I’ll storm the Inner Palace,” Yang Yi said easily, as though entering the Inner Palace were no different from walking through his own front door. With that, he led the two women back to the first corridor. Upon returning to the familiar space, Yang Yi immediately summoned his water jar, removed his clothes, and stepped inside. Qinglian came over naturally to help wash him, her actions practiced and seamless.
That day, Yang Yi bathed five or six times, scrubbing away the fatigue and filth from the relentless slaughter. Only after eating a simple meal did he finally lie down and fall asleep. He had, after all, cleared four corridors in a single stretch, dug four deep pits by himself, and though his body possessed the , even he couldn’t deny the drain on his stamina. Though his physical strength was nearly limitless, his mental and spiritual energy had been stretched thin. He hadn’t yet reached the point of being able to go without sleep. Meng Jiangnu and Qinglian understood this well, so they simply sat at his bedside, quietly watching over him.

That night, Yang Yi slept soundly and deeply. When he finally opened his eyes, he felt lighter, as though every inch of his body had been cleansed. “System, display my attributes,” he commanded softly, retreating to a quiet corner.

Yang Yi’s eyes lit up like a burning flame when he saw the numbers. “Four hundred and eighty-nine years of bitter cultivation time!” he exclaimed inwardly, barely suppressing his excitement. He had practically struck gold—nearly five hundred years of cultivation time and thirteen thousand five hundred years of life force. That would be more than enough to break through to the Gang Qi Realm. Without hesitation, his gaze burned with determination. “System, extract four hundred years of bitter cultivation time!”

When the system’s announcements finally ceased, Yang Yi slowly opened his eyes. A thunderous burst of energy erupted from his body, surging outward like a tidal wave.
Suddenly, the surrounding dust was swept away, and a barrier of Gang Qi formed around him with a radius of five metres. The corridor trembled under the sheer force of the tremendous pressure. “What the hell? I’ve just stepped into the Gang Qi Realm and already formed a five-metre barrier?” Yang Yi’s expression turned utterly dumbfounded.
