NOVPUB780: Chapter 780: Ten Times the Experience Points!
780 -780: Ten Times the Experience Points!
“Alright, Master!”
Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Sun Wukong naturally had nothing more to say.
He nodded and promptly took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers, depicted the Western Spirit Mountain so vividly it seemed as if it truly existed.
After unfolding the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Jiang Liu, along with Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse, directly jumped into the world within the map.
Jiang Liu had cleared the Western Spirit Mountain dungeon many times before, but today, after entering, he found that the whole world seemed somewhat different. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
The previous Spirit Mountain dungeons, though realistic, did not match the sensation of the present.
To put it simply, if one were to use a movie’s picture quality to explain, the previous dungeon was like ordinary standard definition.
And now?
It was in 4K Blu-ray quality, which naturally felt completely different.
While grinding the dungeon for level-up, Jiang Liu naturally didn’t forget about the Good Corpse.
With a thought, he opened the Severance of Corpses page and released the Good Corpse.
Jiang Liu, the Good Corpse, along with Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse, a team of five, naturally entered the team status and appeared at the foot of Spirit Mountain, walking toward the Great Thunder Monastery at the mountain’s peak.
“Who goes there!?
Who dares trespass on Spirit Mountain!?”
As Jiang Liu and the others approached, suddenly, a stern shout rang out, and immediately, a group of Vajra clad in golden armor appeared, blocking their path.
Character UI!
Seeing these Vajra, Jiang Liu’s heart gave a low shout, pulling up the character UI of these Vajra to inspect.
As expected, in the world set by the painting, all these Vajra were the same level.
Their levels were quite high, reaching as far as level 52.
“Eh?
All these Vajra are at this level?
I’m somewhat looking forward to this!”
Comparing with the difficulty of the world in the previous Map of Mountains and Rivers, Jiang Liu’s heart secretly rejoiced.
A few level 52 Vajra posed no real threat, the Good Corpse beside him swung his horsetail whisk, and a Five-Thunder Down spell descended.
Several bolts of lightning fell from the sky, directly striking these Vajra, instantly wiping out their health bars completely.
There was no intent to sneak in, rather they chose to bulldoze their way through!
After directly killing these Vajra, Jiang Liu and his group continued to move forward.
Soon, they encountered a few Arhats, who clearly noticed the commotion from the battle and approached.
Jiang Liu pulled up the character UI to check, ordinary Arhats, all around level 57.
Among the Arhats, the leading Dragon Subduing Arhat and Tiger Conquering Arhat both had a level 60 Blue UI.
In reality, one had to be above level 61 to be considered an Arhat.
These Arhats all around level 57?
It seems, not particularly different from the real world.
After casually dispatching these Arhats, naturally, Jiang Liu continued deeper!
Because of Randeng Buddha’s painting, almost a complete vista of Spirit Mountain was on display, hence, the power structure of Western Spirit Mountain was almost perfectly showcased.
The numerous Arhats, along with Bodhisattvas, and even Buddhas, were mostly present.
Moving deeper, they soon encountered entities at the Bodhisattva level.
This initial entry into the Spirit Mountain dungeon was mainly to assess its difficulty, so Jiang Liu practically pulled up the character UI for everyone he saw to take a good look.
The levels of the Bodhisattvas varied somewhat, but the difference wasn’t too large, generally above level 67.
After defeating many Bodhisattvas, they finally encountered a Buddha.
The Cultivation Level of the Buddhas was generally higher than that of the Bodhisattvas, with some of the higher-level ones reaching above level 75.
Trudging forward, the final BOSS of the previous dungeon was only at level 70.
Now, many of the Buddhas were at level 75 or above, making this dungeon significantly more challenging for Jiang Liu compared to the previous ones.
The combat was mainly aimed to thoroughly understand the current difficulty of the dungeon, so the pace of bulldozing through the dungeon was not swift.
At Buddha level, around level 75 Cultivation Level, it indeed posed some difficulty for Jiang Liu and his party.
After spending quite some time, Jiang Liu and his companions finally came before the Tathagata Buddha.
Amitabha!
The Tathagata, seated on the Lotus Platform, muttered a Buddha’s name in a low voice, his lofty gaze fell upon Jiang Liu and his companions.
“Oh?
This Great Thunder Monastery dungeon is completely different from the previous ones!” after coming before the Tathagata Buddha, Jiang Liu’s heart slightly stirred.
It wasn’t just the character levels that were different, even the mode of this Great Thunder Monastery was different.
The previous Map of Mountains and Rivers dungeon, the final BOSS, Tathagata, following Sun Wukong’s level rise to 84, was only around level 70, and it was just a bare figure.
But now, this Great Thunder Monastery final BOSS, aside from the Tathagata, also included Randeng Buddha and Maitreya Buddha.
“So, at the very end of this dungeon, there are actually three BOSSes?” Jiang Liu murmured to himself as he beheld the presence of the Three-World Buddha.
Naturally, Jiang Liu also pulled up the character UI of the Three-World Buddha to take a look.
Randeng Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, both were Golden BOSS UIs, both at level 80.
And the last Tathagata Buddha was a level 85 Golden BOSS UI.
It seemed to be a pattern of two smaller BOSSes leading up to one big BOSS.
“No wonder it took so much effort to have Randeng Buddha personally design this dungeon!” Jiang Liu rejoiced inwardly as he looked at Tathagata’s level 85 Golden BOSS UI.
Although the final BOSS had only increased from level 70 to 85, seemingly only a 15-level difference,
the overall increase in the dungeon’s difficulty was substantial!
Having three Golden BOSSes appear all at once significantly heightened the challenge involved.
However, with the strengths of Jiang Liu and the others when joined together, there was still no problem.
After all, Jiang Liu, as a support class, still had a very significant role to play in this battle.
Two level 80 BOSSes, plus one level 85 BOSS, certainly posed a not-so-small challenge when engaged in combat.
Yet, after a tough battle, Jiang Liu managed to take down all three BOSSes successfully.
Previously, the dungeons were very easy, and even though Sun Wukong’s cultivation level increased and the dungeon difficulty rose slightly, each run through the dungeon yielded only about six or seven hundred thousand Experience Points.
Doing it about twenty times a day, he would earn around 10 million a day.
For Jiang Liu who now needed twenty to thirty billion Experience Points to level up, it might take a year and a half to level up once.
But now, with the dungeon difficulty increased to level 85, although the time required for each battle had increased, he roughly estimated that he could run the dungeon about five or six times a day.
However, each dungeon run could now yield at least 20 million Experience Points.
If it went on like this, wouldn’t he gain over 100 million in a day?
Thinking this way, though the dungeon running speed had slowed, the rate at which he acquired Experience Points had roughly increased tenfold!
“The level 80 Six-Eared Macaque, taking him down once, used to give just over 10 million Experience Points.
Now, running a dungeon plus taking down three BOSSes, gets you just over 20 million Experience Points?”
But consider now, it’s five people teaming up to dungeon-crawl!
Each person getting 20 million Experience Points, the Experience Points are divided equally in a team state.
So, together, the whole team gains about 100 million Experience Points?
This haul is indeed quite nice.
The disciples together, teaming up, fighting and leveling up, isn’t that great?
After finishing the dungeon, Jiang Liu spoke up, asking Sun Wukong to release everyone.
After coming out, Jiang Liu of course took the time to thoroughly sort out his inventory space.
With the UI at level 85, Jiang Liu found that his inventory had exploded with quite a lot of level seventy to eighty equipment.
Clearly, these were items dropped by the Buddhas and the three BOSSes.
With the level of difficulty in the dungeon having increased, naturally, the levels of the equipment dropped by these BOSSes had also increased.
In Jiang Liu’s view, this was pretty good.
“Struck it rich!”
With one dungeon run earning him 20 million Experience Points, Jiang Liu felt extremely jubilant.
Five or six runs a day, acquiring 100 million, he could level up in less than a month, right?
It seems, in the upcoming days, he might enter a period of rapid level growth?
Not just himself—Xiaobai, Good Corpse, and Wujing’s levels weren’t much different from his, and their leveling speed would surely also accelerate a lot, right?
Indeed, with his awakened ability being combat leveling, naturally, there should be monsters of suitable levels for him to fight, so his leveling up would be faster.
The previous Map of the Nation dungeon difficulty, with his increased cultivation level, had become more and more ineffectual.
“Wukong, let’s go again!”
Estimating in his heart the tenfold increase in the Experience Points acquisition speed, Jiang Liu felt full of motivation and called out to Sun Wukong.
“Big brother, hurry, let’s continue!”
Not just Jiang Liu, but also Wujing and Xiaobai next to him felt their cultivation levels had improved a lot, and they too appeared very excited.
“Alright!” Seeing how excited Wujing and the others were, Sun Wukong didn’t say much, just nodded slightly, then reopened the Map of the Nation UI and continued to initiate the dungeon for Jiang Liu and the others.
Full of motivation!
For Jiang Liu and the others, dungeons around level 85+ were exactly the challenge they needed now.
The Golden Haze Crown at level 40 with those three thousand Fire Dragon Soldiers might not play a significant role in this dungeon, but the tenfold increase in Experience Points acquisition speed was worth more than anything else.
