Chapter 2303: Strength Upgraded
Zu An had long been stuck at level 75, unable to go past it because of the limitation of the world’s source. But now that the two worlds had been merged together, that source was greatly strengthened. The cultivators of this world naturally benefited as well, and also experienced their cultivation rising. Even the ones who didn’t immediately make breakthroughs could now cultivate at much faster speeds.
However, Zu An received the most benefits. After all, he held the authority of the world, so the sea of natural ki surged toward his body first. By relying on his absorption ability together with the Keyboard System, he had accumulated a lot of energy after killing so many powerful beings. Now that the world’s limitation was removed, the aura within him began to climb crazily.
Level 76… Level 77… Level 78… Level 79… It continued all the way to level 79 before stopping!
Naturally, the further one went along in cultivation, the harder it would be to make any progress, to the point of becoming seemingly impossible. Many people couldn't make any progress even after exhausting the rest of their lifespans. On top of that, at this point, the system’s levels were each comparable to an entire greater cultivation realm. Even one was like the difference between an earth immortal and a grandmaster.
Even though he had killed so many monsters and stored up all that power, Zu An had expected to reach around level 77 or 78 at most. He hadn’t expected to go straight to level 79!
After all, the experience needed for every subsequent level rose by an astronomical amount. Eventually, the curve was practically exponential. Even though he had killed a lot of monsters, because of the world’s limitations, a lot of the energy had been wasted. And even if it hadn't been wasted, he had never expected to go straight to level 79.
Sensing his confusion, Mi Li explained, “I believe it's because you have both the authority of this cultivation world and the underworld. After you merged the two worlds, the world sources gave you their power as their owner to help bring you to a new level.”
Zu An nodded. He finally realized the benefits of merging with the will of the world. Not only did it give him power up front to make him stronger, more importantly, it made him realize that the power could actually be used this way. However, if he left this world, he wouldn’t be able to use this world’s power at will anymore. He wouldn't be as strong as he was here.
Still, it was more important that he'd come into contact with a source of power like this. His new worldview was something his past self could never have hoped to attain.
