Chapter 761

Xiao Feng nurtured the chaos sapling a bit, then began to devote himself to cultivation and honing his will.

Now he can multitask, saving a lot of time.

Cultivation raises level, honing will increases willpower points, and contemplating the Ninefold Heavenly Dao deepens his understanding of the first two heavenly daos……

These three things can be done simultaneously!

He can even do a fourth thing at the same time, for example… accompanying Dai Ni Si on quests and such.

He stayed on Wind Spirit Island for a day, which counts as giving himself time to adjust and rest.

The next day he used a Shen Jie return-to-city scroll to leave, going to clear dungeons with Old Li and the others.

All cultivation dungeons in Shen Jie have their cooldowns calculated by public time, based on game time, refreshed once a month.

With less than ten days left on the system timer before the cooldown resets, we can't waste it—we must clear every dungeon we can!

The previously cleared 【Blood-soaked Wasteland】 and 【Primeval Dragon Nest】 were level 275 and 325 dungeons respectively; he still has level 250, 300, 350, 375… and many other dungeons left to clear.

High-level dungeons haven't all been discovered yet; supposedly many are in the Elemental Sea, while the Divine Continent only has dungeons up to level 400.

With Old Li acting as the information gatherer organizing dungeon info, Xiao Feng doesn't need to think much—just join the party, meet up with everyone, then enter the dungeon together and plow through.

The level 250 dungeon had already been cleared by Li Li and the others, but they still accompanied Xiao Feng for another run, essentially a low-level alt helping a high-level main.

This dungeon is called 【Demigod's Trial】; it can be opened with 5 or 10 players, the more people the harder the monsters, but the rewards are the same.

For Xiao Feng and company, this level of dungeon is already very easy; Xiao Feng was directly ordered to idle-follow and not act.

Mang Mei Zhang Fan handles damage, Li Li provides support, Dun Dun tanks the monsters, and four of them take on the 10-player version.

Um… Xing Yun Miao, that big-breasted mom who loves to play with poison, has the task of chatting with the idle Xiao Feng, the boss!

The whole dungeon was cleared in an hour with ease; Xiao Feng gained 200,000 cultivation—not much, but it's still many times faster than seated cultivation!

After clearing 【Demigod's Trial】, the group summoned the four guild masters—Chu Long, Shen Di, Zhan Tian, and Sheng Shi—to form a ten-person party.

Then they all teleported to the Flaming Divine Nation to challenge the level 300 cultivation dungeon 【Blazing Prison】.

The Blazing Prison hasn't been fully cleared yet; the furthest progress so far is by an elite squad from the "Verdant Star 4" warzone.

That squad's members are all level 280+, and while their gear might not be as good as Li Li's team's,

but eight out of the ten possess transcendent mythic talents, making their foundation extremely strong!

Thus, relying on talent and level effects, they managed to push past bosses 1 and 2, stopping at the third stage.

【Blazing Prison】 is an underground jail in a burned‑ancient city, holding twelve formidable prisoners.

A dungeon with twelve bosses—Xiao Feng has never encountered such a thing before.

The more bosses, the richer the experience rewards; after the ten‑person squad entered, they began to advance steadily.

Previously idle‑following Xiao Feng, this time he became the main damage dealer.

Everyone else besides the healer… went on idle.

In Li Li's words, this is "after enjoying the easy days, the grueling work life begins."

The monsters inside Blazing Prison are all humanoid, so they aren't too large; fighting in the underground space still tests positioning and coordination quite a bit.

That is the regular team's approach.

When Xiao Feng arrived, his Origin Blast technique cleared the whole map, sweeping as he went, leaving it spotless—not a single minor monster left!

The monster rewards in this dungeon are quite rich; just after clearing boss 1, they gained 200,000 cultivation, comparable to the total rewards of a level 250 dungeon.

As for chest drops, they're rather ordinary—only a couple of mid‑tier divine artifacts and some crafting materials.

Since cultivation dungeons focus on cultivation, it's not strange to have fewer equipment drops; everyone thinks it's normal.

Under Xiao Feng's lead, the group plowed straight through, cleansing the entire Blazing Prison.

As each boss fell one after another, Xiao Feng and the others' cultivation rose steadily, tick‑tock‑tick.

When the twelfth boss, the "Vile White‑Robed Sorcerer," fell, Xiao Feng's level also rose to 318.

The lowest‑level member, Zhan Tian, surged all the way, rocketing up to level 285.

Li Li, Zhang Fan, and the others also reached around level 293, not far from the divine tier.

As the level ceiling rose, the gaps between players' levels gradually narrowed.

Looking at the server‑wide leaderboard for levels, aside from the top spot "Accompanying Play for Four Million Years," which is absurd and constantly leads by 50 levels, everyone else's progress is slowing down.

Xiao Feng is level 318 and second; Ultra‑Dimensional Mech 17 is level 317 and third; Shen Chuo is level 311 and fourth; I, picking up trash across the myriad heavens, am level 307 and fifth.

After that, most players are between levels 307 and 303, each tier having nearly a hundred people; those below level 300 can't even make the top 1000 on the leaderboard.

It's worth noting that not everyone who has passed level 300 has reached

the divine realm; many still remain at the demigod stage!

Because breaking through to a higher realm requires sufficient willpower; if willpower is lacking, one can only stall at the current realm.

Both demigod and divine realms use cultivation as their experience component, so even if the realm doesn't break through, level can still rise—unlike the level 250 threshold, where you can't level up without breaking through.

This realm isn't that easy to break through.

Now Li Li and company's willpower is still far from the 100,000‑point threshold; the highest willpower among them, Mang Mei, is just over 30,000, and no one knows how long it will take to meet the standard.

Xiao Feng told them to use any free time to train their willpower more, not just chase levels blindly.

That said… the cultivation dungeons that need to be cleared still must be done, or we'll lose out!

Taking advantage of the fact that this month's dungeon cooldown hasn't expired yet, right after finishing the Blazing Prison dungeon, they rushed straight to the level 350 dungeon 【Mad Botanical Garden】.

The level 350 dungeon is harder than the Primeval Dragon Nest; although the bosses' stats are relatively lower, lacking the Green Dragon Prince's buff boost makes the challenge difficulty rise considerably.

For this dungeon, the nine teammates basically can't help anymore; they can only give Xiao Feng some buffs to boost his stats.

But even if they don't give buffs, Xiao Feng's stats are already enough to crush the level 350 dungeon bosses.

Given the dungeon's relatively simple mechanics, he plowed through for two hours, cleared all seven bosses of the Mad Botanical Garden, reaped 3.4 million cultivation, leveled up again, reaching level 319.

The teammates' levels also surged, bringing them much closer to level 300.

Then they went to the Frost Divine Nation to challenge the level 375 cultivation dungeon 【Frigid Forbidden Zone】.

However, this dungeon's mechanism is a bit complex; relying solely on a top player cannot get the whole team through.

With Xiao Feng's strength, he could only solo bosses 1 through 4; facing boss 5's mechanism—which requires each of four characters to endure 500 million damage per second for 10 seconds—he couldn't meet the condition, ultimately triggering the instant‑kill mechanic and wiping the entire party.

After defeating only four bosses, he gained over 1.7 million cultivation.

After a wipe, he lost 670,000 cultivation; overall he still came out ahead by about 1 million, his experience bar reached one‑third progress, and he was still a short distance from level 320.

Originally, Xiao Feng wanted to find a level 400 dungeon, or another level 375 dungeon, to continue fighting.

But these ultra-high-level dungeons haven't really been discovered by players yet, so he could only give up.
