Spiritual energy was born, nourishing all things.
In an instant, vitality burgeoned within Daxia as all things vied for growth.
In the southern mountain forests, the branches and leaves of trees unfurled, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy from the air.
Animals sensed the change as well, jumping around in extreme excitement.
In the north, even those animals that had long been dormant due to the severe cold woke up one after another to join this spiritual energy carnival.
Within Daxia, those job-holders who had not yet entered dungeons to clear them made a surprising discovery.
"Everyone, look at your job-holder panels!"
"Nonsense, the world announcement popped up directly. Who wouldn't be looking?"
"It's not the world announcement, look at the personal information prompts! I can gain experience just by breathing!"
"What?"
The news that breathing could increase experience points spread from person to person, instantly exploding across the Daxia internet and becoming the most trending topic.
"The experience from breathing is so little, only 1 point at a time. It feels worse than killing a single monster in a dungeon."
"The person above must be a student who just changed classes and is still studying at a college. How many monsters are even in a dungeon? Even for large warbands, it's many people hunting one.
After all that hard work, time, and energy, the experience gained still has to be split equally."
"Exactly. Do you think you're a Sword Immortal, a God of War, or the Lord of the Undead with a terrifying undead army that can solo dungeons?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. There's another major discovery! Someone specifically went into the deep forests in the wild and found that one breath can grant 2 to 5 experience points!"
"What!"
This second explosive piece of news swept through the internet again.
A large group of job-holders, either pulling along a few friends or heading out alone, used all their abilities to explore the mountain forests within Daxia.
However, by the time the main force arrived, they found that Daxia's official personnel were already in place.
Heavy transport aircraft from Heavenly Crafts circled in the sky, continuously air-dropping various construction machinery.
At the outermost perimeter, Daxia's official troops had established a cordon, directing the arriving crowds.
"Construction site, no unauthorized entry! Construction site, no unauthorized entry!"
Several large loudspeakers played the message on a 24-hour loop.
One explorer noticed that one of the soldiers was an old classmate of his and approached to ask about the situation.
"Dazhuang."
"Oh, it's you, Old Lin. Long time no see."
"What are you guys doing closing off the mountain? It's so mysterious. Is the government trying to keep all the good stuff for itself?"
"Look at what you're saying. If we really wanted to keep it for ourselves, we wouldn't make such a big scene."
"Then what are you doing? I see the Heavenly Crafts ships coming and going."
"Hehe, I don't know the specifics either. I heard they're going to build spirit-gathering arrays to collect spiritual energy and create specialized cultivation sites. The mission code name seems to be, let me think... right, it's called Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands!"
"Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands!"
Upon getting the news, the explorer immediately turned around and posted it on the forums. To his surprise, there was already an official post from Daxia regarding the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands project.
As early as before the clearing of the 【Flood of the Flood Dragon】 dungeon, the academies and Heavenly Crafts had already made preparations. They had designed specialized spirit-gathering arrays and supporting architectural facilities for each major mountain.
They were just waiting for Daxia's clearing team to finish before immediately starting work.
...
On the other side, in Mohai City, Chen Xu and the others remained where they were, waiting to share the fruits of victory.
【Congratulations to Daxia for completing the clearing of the ultra-tier dungeon. The following rewards have been obtained:】
【Reward 1: True Dragon Orb (mythic-tier advancement item)】
【Reward 2: Dragon Palace Treasure Box ×10】
【Reward 3: A strand of Creation Source (mythic-tier advancement item)】
【Reward 4: Dungeon Space Fragment (Dragon Marsh)】
【Reward 5: Dungeon Space Fragment (East Sea)】
【Reward 6: Dungeon Space Fragment (Imperial Palace)】
【Reward 7: Dungeon Space Fragment (Sacred Beast)】
【Reward 8: Imperial Seal of the Realm (Divine Artifact)】
【Reward 9: Lihuo Heaven-Burning Art (mythic-tier cultivation technique)】
【Reward 10: True Dragon Essence Blood】
【Reward 11: True Dragon Reverse Scale】
【Reward 12: True Dragon Tendon】
【Reward 13: True Dragon Backbone】
【Reward 14: True Dragon Liver (Top-tier ingredient! When combined with Phoenix Marrow, it can be used to cook legendary glowing cuisine.)】
【Reward 15: Dungeon Core (Merged)】
The dungeon clearing rewards had actually produced two mythic-tier advancement items at once, meaning Daxia would give birth to two mythic-tier powerhouses.
As for the candidates, that would be left for Xia Qiming and the others to consider.
Chen Xu was more interested in the Dungeon Space Fragments and the Dragon Palace Treasure Boxes.
【Dragon Palace Treasure Box: Legend has it that the East Sea Dragon Palace hides thousands of treasures. This treasure box is an item gifted to guests during the Dragon King's banquets. According to the Dragon King himself, it can contain anything from the most common undersea pearls to rare and exotic treasures, all depending on one's luck.】
Xia Qiming had already claimed the rewards, taking out the True Dragon Orb, the Creation Source, and the Dragon Palace Treasure Boxes.
He then looked at everyone. "One dragon orb and one strand of Creation Source. Here is their item information. Take a look and see who should use them."
Xia Qiming shared the information panels for the True Dragon Orb and the Creation Source.
【True Dragon Orb: A dragon orb is the concentrated essence of a true dragon. Consuming it allows one to undergo a complete transformation and obtain the power of a true dragon. Those with exceptional comprehension or great luck may even realize true dragon divine abilities from it.
Upon use, the user directly advances to the mythic-tier. (If the user's original class is not very compatible with the item, the class will be forcibly changed based on the item. Please use with caution.)】
【A strand of Creation Source: The energy of creation originates from chaos. In the myriad phenomena of chaos, anything is possible. Brave one, do you want to take a gamble?
Upon use, the user directly advances to the mythic-tier. (If the user's original class is not very compatible with the item, the class will be forcibly changed based on the item. Please use with caution.)】
After sharing the panels, Xia Qiming didn't hesitate. He pulled a large handful of dice from his pocket and distributed three to each person present.
Chen Xu took the dice, his face full of confusion. "Teacher Xia, what's the meaning of giving out dice?"
"Young friend Chen, this is called measuring luck to determine the candidates." Wu Xiuyuan explained to Chen Xu while throwing the three dice in his hand.
The dice landed, and they were actually three ones.
Zhuge Xuanqi laughed heartily. "Haha, I told you that black mud of yours affects your fortune, but you didn't believe me."
Wu Xiuyuan's old face wrinkled in displeasure.
With Wu Xiuyuan setting the bottom, the others also threw their dice.
A six, a ten... the highest was Ye Bufan's fifteen.
Seeing this, Xia Qiming pulled out a Dragon Palace Treasure Box and walked toward Ye Bufan.
"Old Xia, don't be in such a hurry. Brother Chen hasn't thrown yet."
Xiang Longwu raised his hand and pointed at Chen Xu.
Thus, Xia Qiming turned around and urged, "Why haven't you thrown yet? Hurry up and throw so we can move to the next round."
"Teacher Xia, so you guys are using this method to choose who opens the Dragon Palace Treasure Boxes?"
"Of course. When opening blind boxes like these, we must choose someone with high luck. This method is the simplest and fastest."
Hearing this, Chen Xu didn't know what to say. They already wielded transcendent power, yet they still used such a primitive method to measure luck.
Shaking his head, he threw the dice in his hand.
A six, a six, and a six. Eighteen points!
"A perfect roll! Old Xia, quick, give him the treasure box!"
Xia Qiming tapped his right foot on the ground and jumped directly in front of Chen Xu, stuffing the Dragon Palace Treasure Box into his hand. "Open it!"
Chen Xu didn't understand why these people were suddenly so excited, but he was also looking forward to what this treasure box could produce.
