I Created A Dungeon In A Cultivation World



Time slipped away, unnoticed, as Argon delved deeper into his cultivation. His connection to the law grew stronger, the boundaries of his understanding expanding with each passing moment. He could feel the flow of energy, the delicate balance of forces, and the potential that lay hidden within the cultivation realm.

Hours turned into days, yet Argon remained steadfast in his pursuit of enlightenment. He pushed his limits, breaking through barriers that had previously seemed insurmountable. With every breakthrough, his power surged, and his presence in the cultivation world became more imposing.

Finally, as the sun began to set on the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the training ground, Argon opened his eyes. The intensity within them had transformed into a calm and resolute gaze. He had attained a new level of mastery over the law, unlocking its hidden depths and harnessing its immense power.

With a newfound sense of awe, Argon marveled at how the law worked within the Heaven's Gate Realm. Unlike the people of this realm who didn't typically utilize law power, Argon's unique status as an Ancestral Dragon enabled him to tap into and wield the power of the law as if he were a Heavenly Realm cultivator.

As Argon continued to reflect on the spar with Azrael, his mind wandered to the intricacies of the cultivation world. He pondered the nature of the law and how it permeated every aspect of existence. The very fabric of reality seemed to respond to his will, as if recognizing the latent power within him.

"In this realm, where few harness the true potential of the law, I am blessed with this extraordinary gift," Argon mused to himself. "As an Ancestral Dragon, the law flows through me, granting me access to its immense power."

With his newfound understanding and power over the law, Argon's curiosity led him to contemplate the limits of his progress. He wondered if there were any means to further enhance his understanding and ascend to the next stage of cultivation. Seeking answers, he reached out to the system within his mind, the source of guidance and information.

"System," Argon called out in his thoughts, his voice projecting into the depths of his consciousness. "Is there a way for me to accelerate my understanding of the law? Can I utilize soul coins to further elevate my cultivation to the next stage?"

The system responded promptly, its voice resonating within Argon's mind. "Yes, Host, you can indeed utilize soul coins to advance your comprehension of the law and expedite your progress," the system confirmed. "However, the cost for such a significant leap is one million soul coins."

Argon staggered, disbelief washing over him as he absorbed the magnitude of the response. A million soul coins—such an astronomical figure—seemed almost inconceivable. He had accumulated a considerable number of soul coins already, but the sheer magnitude of this cost left him momentarily speechless.

"One million soul coins..." Argon repeated, his voice tinged with both surprise and a hint of skepticism. "Are you certain, System? That is an exorbitant amount. How can I gather such a vast sum?"

Argon's words echoed through the recesses of his mind, reaching the system with a tinge of uncertainty. The system responded in its robotic voice, calculated and devoid of emotion, providing the information Argon sought.

"Host, from what I can see from the current state of the dungeon and your potential for growth, it is possible for you to accumulate one million soul coins within half a year," the system declared with certainty. "However, it is essential to note that achieving this requires a focused approach and restraint in the utilization of soul coins. If you refrain from using the coins you earn to purchase monsters for the dungeon, the accumulation process will be significantly expedited."

Argon listened attentively to the system's response, taking in the information with a mix of hope and concern. The idea of amassing one million soul coins in just half a year seemed challenging, but not entirely impossible. However, he couldn't overlook the fact that his dungeon still had an empty third floor, waiting to be filled with monsters, and his need for essential items for drops and treasures.

"I understand, System," Argon replied, his voice tinged with a hint of reluctance. "While it may be possible to gather the soul coins in half a year, I cannot neglect the expansion of my dungeon."

The system's robotic voice remained unyielding, reaffirming its previous statement. "Acknowledged, Host. The decision lies with you. Prioritizing the accumulation of soul coins will accelerate your understanding of the law, but it may come at the cost of dungeon expansion and acquiring crucial items for the dungeon."

Argon weighed his options carefully, knowing that every choice he made could significantly impact his cultivation journey. The temptation of unlocking deeper insights into the law was undeniable, but he couldn't ignore the necessity of fortifying his position within the cultivation world.

"I cannot forgo the growth of my dungeon," Argon stated firmly, making up his mind. "The monsters within are essential to my defense and overall strength."

"Understood, Host," the system responded, its tone unwavering. "Your decision is wise. Cultivation is a multifaceted path, and balanced progress is often the most beneficial approach."

Argon nodded, contemplating his next move. A determined glint sparked in his eyes as a realization struck him. He spoke with newfound confidence, voicing his thoughts to the system.

"System, I have an alternative idea," Argon proposed. "As an Ancestral Dragon, I possess the memories and knowledge of my lineage. Within those memories lie countless insights into the law and cultivation. If I dedicate myself to studying and assimilating those memories, I believe I can accelerate my understanding of the law within half a year without solely relying on soul coins."

The system processed Argon's suggestion before responding. "Host, your proposal is feasible. The memories of the Ancestral Dragon hold immense wisdom and can indeed aid your cultivation. However, it is important to note that the assimilation process requires time and focused effort. You estimate that within half a year, you can elevate your understanding of the law by one stage through this method."
