In fact, he wasn’t walking, but flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Lightning Deathwings carried him low over the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying, on the other hand, was far more efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the howling wind, faint voices reached his ears, other class users pressing forward, their tones laced with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good thing I passed the trial before level 60, or I wouldn’t even qualify for the middle stage dungeon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just got lucky. Even if you make it there, you’ll never pass the middle stage trial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll see about that. Once I hit level 70 and complete my third class awakening, I’ll clear it for sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a long way off. From level 60 to 70, even one level a year means ten years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One level per year? You’re dreaming. At our pace, two or three years per level would already be good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu had heard conversations like this many times along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From level 60 onward, progress slowed greatly once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary class users, gaining even a single level per year was considered fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many class users were able to reach level 25 within a year after their first class awakening, then level 35 after another two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that stage, progress depended less on strength and more on sheer persistence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some pushed themselves relentlessly, reaching level 35 within a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From level 35 to 40, progress slowed noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The EXP requirements rose steeply, suitable dungeons became scarce, and mastering new skills demanded long hours of grinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the second class awakening at level 40, with suitable dungeons, leveling sped up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, it took about a year to reach level 45.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from level 45 to 50, progress dragged once more, taking nearly two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond level 50, advancement nearly crawled to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a year to a full year per level became the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary class users, reaching level 50 usually took five to seven years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those from great families, with ample resources and determination, could shorten it to about three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After level 50, one level per year was typical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By level 60, most class users were in their mid-thirties, many well past forty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, few could devote their entire lives to grinding. They had other obligations too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Past level 60, the pace slowed even further—two years per level wasn’t unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why most top-level class users Lin Moyu had seen, those around level 70 who had undergone the third class awakening, were already in their fifties or nearing sixty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was often difficult to tell a class user’s true age. Many high-level class users appeared far younger than they really were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the most determined, those wholly devoted to grinding and backed by great families with immense resources, could reach level 70 and complete the third awakening in their thirties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such people had different goals: they sought the summit of power, to ascend to God-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to them, Lin Moyu couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than two years, he had already reached level 60, achieving in months what others took decades to accomplish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his sister was even more extreme; he didn’t even know her current level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder where Sister went.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is Senior Emperor Di pushing her so hard—like forcing a seedling to grow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lin Mohan’s leveling speed was astonishing, Lin Moyu couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being rushed too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Di’s urgency hinted that something significant was approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought unsettled him, though he couldn’t say why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, he had no idea where Lin Mohan was, so even if he wanted to find her, he couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And asking Emperor Di was out of the question. He didn’t have the standing to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowfall thickened. An invisible force pressed down from the air, making Lin Moyu’s body sink slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the pressure of Kunlun Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, others grunted softly. They felt it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said, “This is Kunlun Mountain’s first test for outsiders. If you can’t endure this, you’re not worthy to reach the waist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s meant to weed out those who were carried through the early stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Cheaters can’t make it past this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure affected everyone. Those who had relied on others to carry them in the early stage would now be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu smiled faintly. He knew that wasn’t the real reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once read a classified document in the imperial secret vault explaining the true reason behind Kunlun Mountain’s immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Kunlun Mountain was a natural wonder, a colossal formation that emanated a powerful suppressive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once one ascended past a thousand meters, that invisible pressure began to bear down on everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher one climbed, the stronger that pressure grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle stage Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon lay at the waist of the mountain, at an altitude of over 5,000 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure there was astonishing, enough to expose those who had relied on others to carry them through the early stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such conditions, the weak could barely remain standing, with many fainting outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu could clearly sense that this natural formation’s pressure targeted the soul itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his soul was exceptionally strong, the crushing force felt to him like nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For others, however, it was an entirely different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the snowfall, he could hear heavy, ragged breathing all around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were struggling to move forward, their pace slowing with each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, some began to fall behind, their auras faltering as they lost the strength to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That level 60 class user, who had barely managed to clear the early stage dungeon, had been forced to stop at just 2,000 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing the early stage dungeon was no guarantee of reaching even the waist of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The natural formation itself acted as a second round of screening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And upon reaching the dungeon entrance, a third screening awaited—party formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle stage dungeon was far more difficult than the early stage one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, a full party of 24 was required to have any real chance at clearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class users without a fixed party found it almost impossible to assemble a compatible team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when they did, most attempts still ended in failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, the parties capable of clearing the middle stage Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon were fixed parties—organized and disciplined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their members were not only powerful individually but also exceptionally well-equipped and in perfect sync.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Moyu had never entered the dungeon himself, he knew its difficulty was leagues beyond the easier early stage dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the rewards were worth it—the EXP gained there was excellent for leveling, and it dropped top-tier platinum-grade equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With legendary-grade equipment unobtainable and quasi-legendary-grade items exceedingly rare, platinum-grade equipment was the best most class users could realistically hope for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several major guilds of the empire had permanently stationed parties here, raiding the dungeon day after day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t nearly as extravagant as Lin Moyu, who freely used Cooldown Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Intermediate Cooldown Talismans were considered far too precious for most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they simply waited for the dungeon’s cooldown to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon had a 24-hour cooldown, allowing one run per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That suited them fine. It gave their members time to rest and refine strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, each raid lasted over ten hours of grueling, relentless combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Lin Moyu, they couldn’t possibly clear the dungeon consecutively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soul pressure mounted, more and more people dropped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But eventually, the snowfall began to ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Past the 4,000-meter mark, the snowfall nearly stopped altogether, revealing the mountain’s grandeur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endless snowscape stretched out before him, silver flakes swirling in the wind like dancing serpents, magnificent and enchanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu paused to take in the view, a sudden wave of emotion rising within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to the Abyssal World, the scenery of the Human World is far more beautiful.” He murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A derisive laugh sounded nearby, “You talk as if you’ve actually been to the Abyss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu turned toward the voice—a man in his thirties wearing an ornate Mage’s robe that flapped in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An embroidered insignia on his cuff marked him as a guild member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu didn’t recognize which one, but since it wasn’t the Jialan Guild or Dynasty Guild, he paid it no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man met his gaze with a mocking smile, “Quit pretending. You talk big, as if you’ve actually been to the Abyss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu simply turned away, unwilling to waste words on someone like that.\u003C\u002Fp>",1538,"2026-06-06T10:27:20.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","77a47cf5e47d97fd80739637f89d2b9e99c8d5abd766d01c35f210a6575d3915","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-561","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-559",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnecromancer-i-am-a-disaster-cover.jpg"]
