This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 328 Limited-Time Event: World Boss!

The river flowed sour.

While he was still brutally defeating the Nascent Soul Grand Perfection BOSS, Taiye City had already secured the first kill on the Fusion BOSS.
While he was still basking in the glory of having acquired a low-grade Dao artifact, Taiye City had already obtained a mid-grade Dao artifact.

Depend on!
They just came out of the battle not long ago, how come they're making such a fast pace?

"How could I not be able to clear the nine levels of the Demon Realm?"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, his face full of conflicted emotions.

He kept grinding, but the thought of himself grinding for the lower-grade Dao rank while his enemies were grinding for the middle-grade Dao rank made him feel very awkward and inferior.

If he doesn't grind, the difficulty of him going to fight a combined boss by himself is unimaginable. He would die hundreds or thousands of times before he could defeat even one combined boss.

The cost of reviving is one thing, but the problem is that it wastes too much time.

With his current level of strength, it might take him several hours to defeat a combined-stage BOSS. In that time, he could clear all five levels of the Demon Realm.

On one side are low-grade Dao items, spirit stones, and experience.

On one side is the middle-grade Dao level.

How should I choose?

Jiang Liu hesitated for only a few seconds before making his decision.

I'll continue farming the Nine-Layer Demon Realm!
He's not in a hurry for mid-grade Dao-level items; what he needs most right now is to upgrade!
He is currently only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and there is still a long way to go before he can reach the main force of the first district.

While mid-grade Dao-rank items are important, leveling up is the most important thing for him right now!
Once his cultivation level is raised, he can easily defeat the combined-level BOSS with his eyes closed, without needing to rush at all!
Let them go ahead and try to fight the combined boss; it'll just delay their leveling speed.

The first kill of the combined BOSS is gone, but the rewards for the first player to combine the BOSS are still there, right?
Steal a chicken and become the first player to achieve the Fusion Realm in the entire Immortal Cultivation Era!
"Nothing more to say, let's keep grinding through the Nine-Layer Demon Realm."

Jiang Liu once again suppressed the urge to venture into the fourth level of the Demon Realm. After glancing at the Seven Luminaries Fire Helmet in his backpack, he continued his frantic monster-hunting mode.

Jiang Liu remained unmoved, while in Taiye City and Taiyao Tribe of Zhongzhou, they had already begun frantically farming the combined BOSS.

Seeing this, Nangong Wentian, who had the backing of the Ziyun Sect, gritted his teeth and set his sights on the Fusion Demonic Path.

The same applies to the Demonic Alliance formed by the Poison King of the Third District. With the support of the Holy Demon Sect Master, he also set his sights on the righteous sects that possess a combined BOSS.

Because Taiye City successfully defeated the first combined BOSS, all the top forces began hunting combined BOSSes.

The Central Plains unite, and all is lost.

Taiyao Division, Taiye City, and Nantian Sect are hunting a combined BOSS.

Jiang Liu, meanwhile, continued to quietly amass wealth while annihilating Nascent Soul BOSSes.

On the first day, the Seven Luminaries Gold Ornament and the Unending Wind and Fire were revealed.

The next day, the Seven Luminaries Water Crown and the Corrupting World Water were revealed.

On the third day, the crafting blueprints for the Seven Luminaries Earth Armor, Heavenly Fiend Extreme Gold, and Ice Bone Gold Demon were revealed. What the hell are these things?

On the fourth day, nothing was dropped, but I leveled up.

Congratulations on breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

Worthy!

I grinded non-stop for four days and finally reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

The requirements for cultivation are getting higher and higher; I really don't know when I'll be able to break through to the Integration Stage.
Continue my intensive training in seclusion!

On the fifth day, nothing was discovered.

On the sixth day, the Seven Luminaries Earth Armor appeared, transforming into a mountain of immense power. I immediately learned it.

On the seventh day, nothing exploded.

On the eighth day, Thunderheart and Earthheart were revealed. Damn, these two are pure garbage?

On the ninth day, I got another Heavenly Fiend Gold and Corrupting World Water. Yay!

On the tenth day, the Seven Luminaries Thunder Ring was unleashed, unleashing a furious burst of lightning.

eleventh
"Huh? No!"

Jiang Liu, who was in a daze while grinding monsters, suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something.

"Is my Seven Luminaries Set complete?"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself in a daze, remaining stunned for several seconds before finally opening the equipment panel and looking at it with his dry eyes.

"Seven Luminaries Gold Ornament, Seven Luminaries Pure Ring, Seven Luminaries Water Crown, Seven Luminaries Fire Helmet, Seven Luminaries Earth Armor, Seven Luminaries Thunder Ring. It's all complete!"

Jiang Liu instantly perked up, his face beaming with joy, as if his previous weariness had never existed.

A complete set of seven low-grade Dao artifacts is finally complete!

Come on, let me see what special attributes you can activate!
He casually clicked on the information about Seven Luminaries Jewelry and looked at it.

Seven Luminaries Gold Jewelry

[Grade: Lower grade Taoist grade]

【Attribute 1: +200% All Attributes, +200% Increased Damage, +200% Metal-type Damage, +200% Energy Condensation Speed】

【Attribute 2: Comes with the special effect 'Gold Loot'. When you kill any living being, you will plunder 1 to 1000 spirit stones from them. The spirit stones will be automatically stored in your inventory.】

【Set Bonus (7/7): Activate the 'Seven Luminaries Effect', all your elemental damage will be unified into one】

Jiang Liu: “????”

What does this mean?

A look of confusion flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes. How could he possibly understand the meaning of such a short sentence?

He frowned, pondered for a long time, and then suddenly realized something, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face.

The phrase "Five Elements in One" means that all his attacks will possess the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Even water-based skills will deal damage from all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!
因为五行道体的存在，他的攻击属性为是20%水系+20%火系+20%金系+20%木系+20%土系。

Now, after activating the Seven Luminaries effect, his attack attributes have become 100% metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, making him a true mixed damage dealer!
Not only that, once this effect is activated, all his previous single-attribute bonuses will be applied to all his attacks!

For example, the +300% metal damage from Golden Spirit Jade Ice can only be fully benefited by metal-type skills. Skills like Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword can only benefit from the 300% * 20% = 60% damage increase.

However, after activating the Seven Luminaries effect, the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword can receive the full 300% damage increase!
What seems like a very simple effect brings unimaginable improvements!
"Can the Seven Luminaries effect be removed from the equipment?"

Jiang Liu's eyes gleamed with golden light as he looked at the Seven Luminaries Set's Seven Luminaries effect; he was practically drooling with envy!

The effect of combining the five elements into one applies to the Seven Luminaries Set. Once a piece of the Seven Luminaries Set is missing, this effect is lost.

hateful!

This effect suits him so well, I want to own it forever!
"Sigh, I hope they'll release other items with this effect in the future."

Jiang Liu sighed softly, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the Seven Luminaries Set. He stared at it for several minutes before reluctantly closing the equipment panel.

Although he has completed the Seven Luminaries Set, it doesn't mean he can leave the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

Many of the special items in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm haven't been obtained yet, and you can quickly farm cultivation points and spirit stones here, so there's really no need to leave so soon.

Specialty items, cultivation points, spirit stones, and Heavenly Crafting Pearls.

Is there any map in the Immortal Cultivation Era with more abundant resources than the Nine-Layer Demon Realm?
No. What kind of combined boss is this? Don't even get involved! I'm going to grind through the Nine-Layer Demon Realm for the rest of my life!

Jiang Liu continued his seclusion in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm, determined to farm all the drops from all the bosses there!

This time, it took another ten days to refresh.

Ten days later.

It wasn't that Jiang Liu didn't want to continue, but rather that a system notification sounded.

[Server-wide Announcement: The second Heavenly Soldiers and Generals Competition has ended. The third Heavenly Soldiers and Generals Qualification Competition will begin in fifteen days.]

[Server-wide Announcement: The total number of combined bosses defeated in the Chinese server has reached 100. A limited-time event will now be available server-wide.]

[Server-wide Announcement: Limited-time event - World Boss 'Fallen Night' has arrived! Defeating this boss will reward you with a large number of mid-grade Dao-rank items, limited-edition items, and more.]

The World Boss 'Fallen Night' will appear in the Qilian Mountains of Central Plains in six hours. Players, please prepare for battle.

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

I've been farming the Nascent Soul BOSS for twenty days, how come I've also spawned the World BOSS?

As Jiang Liu listened to the system announcements that kept repeating in the sky, his hands gradually stopped moving, and his face showed a blank expression.

What year is it? Why is there a world boss again?
what?
The total number of combined BOSSes killed across the entire server has reached 100?

Holy crap, you guys moved way too fast!
Jiang Liu's face darkened slightly. Without the slightest hesitation, he exited the Nine-Layer Demon Realm and returned to the game's main interface.

There's no way around it; we can skip the combined boss fight, but we have to participate in the event.

After returning to the game's main interface, the border of the main interface is flashing red, as if warning of impending danger.

Meanwhile, the activity interface directly above is also flashing.

Upon opening the event interface, the image of the World Boss is prominently displayed.

World Boss - Fallen Night Arrives

[Event Introduction: The Starry Night Sect Master, Wan Yekong, has fallen to demonic possession and fled the Qilian Mountains with a large number of Starry Night Sect treasures. Please kill him as soon as possible to prevent chaos among the people.]

[Event Details: Attacking the World Boss Fallen Night will give you a chance to obtain treasures with any damage you deal. The higher the cumulative damage, the higher the quality of the treasures dropped.]

[Event countdown: 5:58:10]

[Event Rewards: Spirit Stones, Rare Items, Limited-Time Titles, Mid-Grade Dao Artifacts, Mid-Grade Dao Techniques, etc.]

"It's basically about fighting monsters and getting loot."

Jiang Liu glanced at the entire event details; it was simple and clear, and should be a small event inserted between the cooldown periods of the main battle.

In short, there's a big boss. As long as you attack him, you can get various items. The more damage you accumulate against the world boss, the higher the tier of the dropped items.

Hmm, this feels more like a fun little activity.

"Perfect timing, I'm getting a bit bored from grinding monsters, I might as well go play something."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, having spent twenty days grinding through the Nine-Level Demon Realm, which had really disgusted him. It wouldn't hurt to change things up.

Moreover, he was also very much looking forward to the map of Zhongzhou and felt it was time to go on a trip.

So, where in Central China is the Qilian Mountains located?
Jiang Liu re-entered the Great World, opened the Great World map, suppressed the surging excitement in his heart, and clicked on the Central Plains map in the very center.

The next second, the world spun around and changed.

An extremely refreshing scent enters the nostrils; an unconscious sniff instantly brings a sense of peace and tranquility.

Jiang Liu opened his eyes, and an exceptionally bright world appeared in his field of vision.

The sun shines brightly, the air is fresh, birds sing and flowers bloom, and the view is expansive.

It's a completely different world from the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

Having spent so long in the dark, damp, and demonic Nine-Layer Demon Realm filled with black clouds of demonic energy, he felt as if he had entered a completely different game when he suddenly arrived in the bright and glorious Central Continent.

"600% spiritual energy concentration, is this the area where the gentlemen of Zhongzhou live? It's really luxurious."

Jiang Liu glanced at the spiritual energy concentration displayed below the minimap and couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

With a spiritual energy concentration of 600%, twice that of other states, even someone with mixed spiritual roots could reach the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage living in the Central State!
I'm so envious. I want to retire in Zhongzhou someday.

Upon entering the bright and splendid Central Plains, he first looked around, but after discovering that it was just an ordinary plain, he stopped paying attention to it.

Open the map of Zhongzhou, and the first thing you see is the Taiyi Immortal Alliance headquarters displayed at the very center.

The map of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance headquarters occupies a full one-twentieth of the area in Zhongzhou, almost the size of the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

His gaze slowly swept across the entire map of Zhongzhou, panning and panning again, revealing a dense array of various power regions.

Jade Palace, Linyuan Valley, Mirror Flower Sect, Frost Pavilion, Divine Sword Mountain.
Jiang Liu was overwhelmed by the sheer number of territories and it took him a while to finally find the Qilian Mountains.

The Qilian Mountains are located on the westernmost side of the map of Central China, like a centipede coiled on the map.

Upon seeing the location of the Qilian Mountains, Jiang Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't too far.

He is currently located in the southernmost center of Zhongzhou. He only needs to move westward to reach the Qilian Mountains.

Fortunately, it wasn't far. If he had just arrived and the world boss had already been defeated, that would have been a disaster.

"Alright, let's get going."

Jiang Liu took out the ultimate dragon boat and sped towards the Qilian Mountains.

At his current speed, he should be able to reach the Qilian Mountains in no time.

The premise is that no one stops them.

Less than ten minutes after Jiang Liu set sail, a group of more than a dozen people arrived on clouds, exuding the aura of Nascent Soul cultivators, and blocked Jiang Liu's path.

"I am Li Lisheng, a disciple of the Flying Void Sect. May I ask what brings you to the territory under the jurisdiction of my Flying Void Sect?"

The young man standing on the cloud first looked at Jiang Liu's ultimate dragon boat with extremely envious eyes, then cupped his hands towards Jiang Liu and shouted loudly with a friendly expression.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Flying Void Sect?
Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and after opening the mini-map and taking a look, he found that it was indeed true.

Based on the idea that one shouldn't hit a smiling face, he returned the greeting and said with a light smile, "My name is Jiang Liu. I am on my way to the Qilian Mountains and am just passing through this place. I apologize for any inconvenience caused."

"Just passing by."

Li Lisheng of the Flying Void Sect nodded and said with a smile, "I wonder which sect Fellow Daoist Jiang comes from. Perhaps you have a past connection with our Flying Void Sect."

"No, no, it's not old."

Jiang Liu waved his hand repeatedly: "Our Tai Chu Sect is a small sect in the Crimson Flame Divine Continent, and it is impossible for us to have any past relationship with your major sects in the Central Continent."

"I'm sorry, Brother Li, I have to rush to the Qilian Mountains, so I won't chat any longer this time. I'll visit the Feixu Sect when I have time."

As he spoke, he prepared to board the Supreme Dragon Boat and leave.

However, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Upon hearing that Jiang Liu came from the Crimson Flame Divine Continent, Li Lisheng of the Flying Void Sect instantly changed his expression, glaring at Jiang Liu with extremely fierce eyes and saying in a menacing tone, "Want to leave? You can't leave!"

"Pay 100 million spirit stones as a toll, or I'll seize your ship!"

Jiang Liu: “????”
