Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship

Chapter 517: Chapter 465: Dragon Demon’s Heart, Eager to Kill

Jiaojiao immediately materialized and replied.

"Master, you’ve been asleep for seven days and six hours..."

"Are you all right?"

The petite girl with black hair and red eyes stood barefoot, her delicate, pale feet exposed, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

’Seven days?’

’It seems the flow of time in the dreamscape is the same as in reality.’

Su Ye understood. He looked at Jiaojiao. "I’m fine."

"In fact, you could say I’ve gained quite a lot."

Su Ye smiled and gently tapped Jiaojiao’s little nose, feeling quite pleased.

He summoned his panel.

[Class Attribute Bonus: Slaying +87, Protection +67, Evasion +54, Mystery +54]

[Laws: Netherworld (100%), Annihilation Flow (27%), Life and Death (60%)]

The boost in his attributes and his comprehension of the Laws were undeniably real.

"Excellent!"

Su Ye felt a sense of calm settle over him, his composure returning.

’This dreamscape exploration has paid off. All that hard work wasn’t for nothing!’

’But... what exactly is this Dao Source?’

’Why have I never heard of it? It seems to involve a higher tier of power. I should ask Li Jinhua about it when I get the chance.’

As a Nascent Soul True Monarch and a Dragon Maiden of the Dragon Palace, the depth and breadth of her knowledge were undoubtedly far superior to Su Ye’s.

Of course, never having heard of Dao Source didn’t stop Su Ye from using it.

After all, he had his panel. Through practical testing, he had confirmed that the panel’s Personhood could suppress the Dao Source, allowing him to absorb it and convert it into power!

Thinking of his gains, Su Ye stroked his chin. His eyes lit up with fiery excitement.

’Given the vastness of this volcanic Grotto Heaven, there must be other places like the temple that are suppressing Dao Source... right? There has to be more than one.’

’If I can absorb them all, my comprehension of the "Life and Death" Law will undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds...’

’It might even be possible for me to reach 100% and master another complete Law while still in the Golden Core Realm.’

’Besides that, the monsters wandering these temples can provide me with experience points.’

’Oh, right!’

’And based on my contributions, my accomplishments in the dreamscape were huge. That means I’m entitled to a share of the spoils from the temple exploration in the real world!’

At this thought, Su Ye clapped his hands and laughed. "Three birds with one stone. Wonderful!"

Exploring the temples offered numerous benefits.

Thus, Su Ye adjusted his strategy accordingly.

For the rest of this Grotto Heaven exploration, in addition to killing hostile Golden Core cultivators and seizing their True Method Golden Cores to fill his energy reserves, he would now also have to explore more to find other building complexes and thereby acquire Dao Source and experience points!

’Of course...’

’That’s all for later.’

Su Ye added in his mind.

Before he explored again, he first needed to leave the volcanic Grotto Heaven, digest his gains, convert them into actual strength, and replenish his expended resources.

’Right now, among my three Laws, "Netherworld" and "Life and Death" are far beyond the standard requirement. As long as my "Annihilation Flow" Law can reach 40% comprehension...’

’...then I just need to find the time to visit the Far South Continent, absorb the Spiritual Spring, and advancing to the Late-stage Golden Core Realm will be a sure thing!’

With the peerless talent of his Nine-Method Golden Core, the boost from advancing a single minor realm was several times greater than that of his peers.

Besides, according to the bucket theory, his Cultivation Realm had always been his shortest plank. Strengthening it would bring a very noticeable improvement to his combat power!

’After leaving the Grotto Heaven, my first priority will be to enter seclusion and push for the Late-stage Golden Core Realm.’

’At the same time... I’ll search for some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to see if I can use this advancement to raise either my physical body or my spiritual soul to Tier Five.’

’It might be difficult, but it’s always good to build up my foundations.’

Su Ye mused.

When he broke through to the Mid-stage Golden Core Realm, his physical body and spiritual soul had already reached Tier Four Perfection.

The next step was Tier Five!

Comparable to a Nascent Soul!

"Also, the Moonfall Halberd is damaged. I’ll have to find Lin Yinxiu to repair it," Su Ye mused.

The losses incurred in the dreamscape—such as the damage to the Moonfall Halberd and the use of consumables like pills, talismans, and Spirit Stones—were not illusory. They were all reflected in reality.

By that logic, if one were to die or be crippled in the dreamscape... then in the real world...

Furthermore, the monsters in the temple ruins were incredibly strong. Take the Undead Lord, a servant of the Fallen Deities, for example. If his panel hadn’t been able to counter it and allow him to absorb the Dao Source, Su Ye would have had a very hard time winning.

’I need to make more preparations before exploring the temples again.’

’There’s no room for error.’

Su Ye thought to himself.

Better safe than sorry—that was his motto.

The Cultivation Realm was treacherous; he couldn’t afford the slightest bit of carelessness.

...

After a moment of contemplation to organize his thoughts, a soft hum came from his Storage Ring.

HUMMM.

Su Ye’s Storage Ring stirred.

His eyes flickered. He raised his palm, and a white light emanated from it.

A Communication Talisman.

Lu Chen’s Communication Talisman.

"Yehai, can you hear me?"

After the Undead Lord was killed, the force field that had enveloped the temple ruins naturally dissipated.

Having lost its Dao Source, the ruins could no longer restrain Golden Core cultivators. Consequently, a host of abilities—such as using Communication Talismans, flying, and communicating with Divine Sense—were restored.

That was why Lu Chen was now sending out a broad message, trying to gather the other cultivators.

Hearing Lu Chen’s message, Su Ye raised an eyebrow. Feigning weakness, he replied in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Mr. Lu, are you all right... COUGH, COUGH."

"We’re fine... Yehai, are you injured?"

"Yes..." Su Ye gave a clipped response, unwilling to elaborate.

Lu Chen didn’t find this strange. He had witnessed the power of the sarcophagus’s master firsthand. Seven Golden Core cultivators had besieged it, and one of them had still been lost.

For Su Ye to have fought it alone and survived was already a testament to his incredible strength. How could he possibly have escaped unscathed?

Then, the two of them briefly communicated and exchanged intelligence.
