While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Feeling great, Adam's Physical and Soul Cultivation hadn't managed to break through to the Master Cultivation Level, but he was still confident in his power and skill and was ready to exit seclusion.

He was on the final part of the last dungeon that would allow him to break through and become a Master Cultivator, but it was much longer and more difficult than it was when he broke through to the Advanced Cultivation Level.

It also would make his power imbalanced if he broke through the Master Cultivation Level in only one of his cultivations, which would make it so that he couldn't use his Form Switching Characteristic to its full potential.

Because of all of that, he decided to leave seclusion before managing to break through to the Master Cultivation Level, worried about what was happening to his friends and his aunt.

It had been a year without him seeing them or contacting them in any way and in a year, many things could occur to his friends as leaders of cultivation groups that were rapidly growing and were threats to other cultivation groups around.

Along with that, his aunt must have experienced her body do many horrible things with the Evil Soul within her controlling and manipulating her into doing such things, which angered and saddened Adam greatly.

With his current power, unless he was facing someone that surpassed the Master Cultivation Level, also known as the Sky Mortal Cultivation Level by the system, he would be able to handle them.

He also hadn't used  the stat points that he had gathered over the past year, leaving him a large reserve of power that he could unleash at any time he needed, and would be enough to take his power up by dozens of levels.

After a year of hard work, Adam was ready to leave, but he had a feeling that his master couldn't hold out any longer just like his master had previously estimated before Adam began his seclusion.

Over the past couple of weeks, his master had been weakened even more and was only holding out through sheer willpower and desire to see Adam off after his training was completed.

Coughing out blood was a regular occurrence and without the assistance of the energy chamber that would supply him with quite a large amount of energy constantly, his body would have collapsed much earlier.

Adam had learnt to always trust his instincts that had never been wrong, and not only did he feel that the world outside had been experiencing many changes, but he also felt as though it was time for his master's passing.

The reason for his master's condition rapidly worsening was most likely due to his master knowing that Adam had completed his training, and that he had already passed onto him everything that he had and knew.

That made it so that he had no longer any reason to hold onto living and stopped trying to resist the collapsing of his body that had been abused and pushed past its limits in order to extend his life.

The control of the arrays and secret lair in the cliff face had been handed over to Adam, along with the gravity, energy chamber and all the other useful rooms in the secret lair, including the one with all the knowledge, information and manuals that his master had written for Adam over the past year.

His master was happy to die, but Adam wanted to make sure he was there in his last moments as he dashed towards the energy chamber and appeared beside his master in the blink of an eye.

The old man was very drained and had become very skinny, making his appearance similar to that of a corpse, but despite that, he still managed to smile as he looked at Adam.

Adam held his master's hand tightly, and although his face was calm and he tried to give his master an easy and happy death, it was clear in his red eyes that he was upset. 

"Adam, it's my time to die and you have helped me realise that death at an old age isn't something to be afraid of. I have embraced that fact that it's the end of the line for me and I am happy I got the chance to meet you and take you in as my disciple" said his master with a hoarse voice and tears in his eyes. 

Both of them reminisced about the good times they spent together and all the times they sparred and had fun with each other. 

Although they both had the times they were serious, upset and angry, having fun and joking around was something that Adam had always done his entire life. 

It was a way of lightening up the mood, relaxing and made it easier to hide and forget about everything he was feeling. 

"Even on your deathbed your still an old loser," said Adam not wanting his master's death to feel sad or serious for his master.

Dying without regrets was the biggest blessing and Adam was hoping that his master could leave all his regrets for him to solve, so that his master's soul could rest in peace.

His master chuckled slightly, but as he did, felt more pain in his collapsing body and blurted out a large curdle of blood. 

"I will make you proud and make sure that the ancients, as well as anything else threatening the livelihood of the masses, will be destroyed and hunted by me" declared Adam. 

"You can rest easy knowing that you have left me behind as Humanity's Hunter" reassured him Adam as he held his master's hand tightly until he heard and sensed his master's heartbeat stop. 

"I will be watching over you," his master said in his final moments before dying. 

Hearing that, Adam smiled, but knew that wasn't the case since souls would be taken to the soul sea, however, it was a nice thought and Adam was hoping that his master would have a good life in his next with his lover. 

His master's death was peaceful and Adam was about to prepare himself to leave the secret lair, but suddenly sensed a presence appear in the energy chamber he was in.

As soon as he did, although he couldn't see anything, he had a good idea of what exactly it was.
