My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 79 - 78: Looking for Trouble

This was a completely unexpected result. No one had imagined Yi Tianyun would be able to enter! It was said that those at the Spirit Refining Stage or higher couldn’t get in, but Yi Tianyun just walked right through. He didn’t feel any pressure at all and passed through with ease.

"How strange. What’s going on?" The Great Elder stepped back, her face a mask of shock.

"Elder Mo Yu, are you telling me you didn’t know you couldn’t pass through with your cultivation level?" Sect Master Hua Quan wore a strange expression, and the others looked even more bewildered. This wasn’t the Great Elder’s first time here, so how could she not know the rules?

Many people started to think Elder Mo Yu had gone mad, to have even forgotten the situation here.

"It’s nothing. I was just giving it a try..."

The Great Elder shook her head and said nothing more. ’I’m shocked,’ she thought, ’but I can’t let it show.’ Yi Tianyun getting in wasn’t a bad thing, but it wasn’t necessarily a good thing either. With his cultivation being so high, the items inside would be of little significance to him.

After coming back down, she gave a look to the other disciples. "All of you, go on in. Stick close to Tianyun, understand?"

"Understood!"

They all nodded firmly, equally stunned. As Core Disciples, they naturally knew how high Yi Tianyun’s cultivation was. If someone with such a high cultivation level could enter, it meant that with his help inside, who would dare to touch them?

They immediately rushed inside. However, the disciple who had given her Token to Yi Tianyun was now unable to enter the Celestial Sinking Ruins and was instantly dejected.

"Don’t worry, you’ll be compensated when we get back." The Great Elder patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

The disciple nodded. Even if she wasn’t compensated, she wouldn’t have said anything. The spot wouldn’t have been hers in the first place. If Yi Tianyun hadn’t held back the three major factions, she wouldn’t have had a chance to participate.

「Inside the Celestial Sinking Ruins.」

When Yi Tianyun walked in from the outside, he was completely baffled. It wasn’t just the Great Elder and the others who were clueless; even he himself was dumbfounded. ’What in the world is going on?’

’Is it a problem with the system? Or maybe the quest?’ Yi Tianyun thought for a moment. ’That must be it.’

After all, the main quest was right here. How could it possibly not let him in?

Regardless of whether that was the reason, the important thing was that he was in. There was no need to investigate how.

’Excellent! It looks like I can complete the main quest!’ Yi Tianyun was delighted and immediately focused on the quest’s objective.

"Occupy the Celestial Sinking Ruins" quest. Reward: Control of the Celestial Sinking Ruins, 100,000 Experience Value, 10,000 Madness Value, one Sword of Endlessness (Soul Artifact)!

This was a very tempting reward. The Experience Value didn’t matter much, but the weapon and control of the ruins were the main prizes.

He immediately turned his attention to his surroundings, observing the Celestial Sinking Ruins.

The Celestial Sinking Ruins lived up to its name. It wasn’t that the sky was literally sinking, but he could feel a heavy pressure bearing down from above, as if something was pressing on his body. Beyond that, it was definitely ancient ruins!

The surrounding buildings were covered in dense cracks, and several stone pillars had already collapsed. The dilapidated ruins looked like they had existed for countless years. Even the most heaven-defying abilities could not stop the corrosion of time, which had turned these once-glorious ruins into such a wreck.

Other than that, there was nothing of note. Besides the crumbling architecture, not a single Treasure could be seen. It was just a vast, empty hall.

The Celestial Sinking Ruins had been mostly picked clean long ago. All its Treasures had been stripped away. They had all but torn the place apart. That’s why, from the very beginning, the people who came in weren’t looking for any treasure.

The concentration of Spiritual Power here was several times denser than outside, making it an excellent place for cultivation. There was clearly a large array formation here that gathered the surrounding Spiritual Power, making it exceptionally dense.

’The Spiritual Power is so dense, much stronger than outside. One day of cultivation here is equal to a week outside.’ Yi Tianyun nodded. The Creator who could set up an array of this scale must have been extraordinary.

"Elder Yi, how did you get in?" Qin Xue and the others walked in from outside, looking at Yi Tianyun with strange expressions.

Yi Tianyun shrugged. "I’m not sure. I just gave it a casual try, and I got in..."

Of course, he wasn’t going to reveal the real reason, so he just gave a vague answer.

They exchanged glances. This was too strange. The restriction had always barred experts above the Spirit Refining Stage, yet it had no effect on Yi Tianyun!

"You’re Yi Tianyun?" Someone suddenly appeared, looking at Yi Tianyun with curiosity.

"Is there something I can help you with?" Yi Tianyun glanced at the person. His cultivation was formidable, at the peak of the Spirit Refining Stage. In a sect, that was already the level of a deacon. For him to come in for a trial was rather unfair.

Judging by his attire, he was clearly one of the people Sect Master Hua Quan had brought, which meant he was from the Hua Celestial Sect.

"Nothing, really. I just thought you looked familiar." Liang Feng sized up Yi Tianyun, stroking his chin with interest.

"It really is Yi Tianyun! I thought he looked just like him earlier. He’s pretty famous on the wanted list!" At this moment, another Cultivator at the ninth level of the Spirit Refining Stage walked over. It was Yong Chenghong from the Lingxiao Sect.

’No wonder they recognize me. They must have seen the wanted poster.’ The reward was indeed tempting. But now that the Celestial Phoenix Tower had collapsed, who knew if the warrant was still effective, even if it was technically still active.

The Grand Pavilion Master was dead, killed by Merak Palace no less. Who would dare cause trouble for Yi Tianyun now?

"So? Is there a problem?" Yi Tianyun looked at them coolly.

"I don’t mean anything by it. I just heard you’re quite impressive. You caused a huge scene at the Celestial Phoenix Tower, killed Liang Tiancheng, and got yourself into a world of trouble, only for Merak Palace to clean up your mess."

Liang Feng shook his head, his eyes filled with a cold light. "Sometimes, you need to rely on your own strength, not hide behind a bunch of women."

He had always looked down on Yi Tianyun, mainly because he was good friends with Liang Tiancheng from the Celestial Phoenix Tower, and he never expected things to turn out this way. If Merak Palace wasn’t at the height of its power right now, he would have killed Yi Tianyun long ago.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Elder Yi... he didn’t get where he is today by relying on women! Don’t spread baseless rumors! Besides, it was all Liang Tiancheng’s fault. He not only slandered people, but he also attacked first!"

Qin Xue was furious and almost exposed Yi Tianyun’s identity. Of course they wouldn’t stand by while someone spoke about their elder like that.

Especially with their favorability having skyrocketed, everyone from Merak Palace had a favorability score of over a hundred toward Yi Tianyun. So when he was slandered, they all stood up for him.

"Oh? And just as I say it, you have a woman speak for you. Can’t you say something yourself?" Liang Feng’s gaze was filled with contempt. The one refuting him was a woman, not Yi Tianyun himself.

It wasn’t that Yi Tianyun didn’t want to retort, but that he couldn’t be bothered to.

In his eyes, Liang Feng and the others were like monkeys, just jumping around in front of him. He didn’t want to make a move; it would only dirty his hands. The main reason was that he just wanted to explore this place peacefully and not cause any trouble. After all, he was here to complete his main quest, not to mess around with these idiots. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I have nothing to say to you." Yi Tianyun didn’t even spare him a proper glance before turning and walking deeper inside.

Liang Feng was about to explode with anger. He couldn’t believe Yi Tianyun completely disregarded him, not even bothering to acknowledge his existence! A murderous intent surged in his eyes, but he didn’t dare to act recklessly. The deterrent power of Merak Palace was too strong.
