However, to Xiao Jie’s surprise, when he followed the map’s directions to the area polluted by Choking Demon Power, intertwining with marshes and deep pools, he found that the colossal figure that should have been lying conspicuously in the middle of the swamp, like a hill, had disappeared!
"Hmm? Did it go underwater, or hide in the mud?" Xiao Jie initially thought the BOSS used the environnt to conceal itself. He imdiately activated the newly acquired [Life Sensing] Skill, his powerful perception sweeping across the entire swamp like radar waves.
Once, twice... Apart from the nurous elite-level and minor demons that were rolling in the mud and swimming in the deep pools, emitting faint or bright life signals, he couldn’t find the life reaction that represented the World BOSS, as magnificent and blazing as the sun!
"Strange... can this BOSS really have left ho?" Xiao Jie frowned slightly, a trace of doubt rising in his heart. He did not dwell too much on this, as there were still four BOSSes to choose from. "Never mind, I’ll go check out the next one first."
He turned and flew towards the nest of the king of the Split Feather Clan[Roaring Wing King]—a solitary peak towering into the clouds. It was the main base of the Split Feather Demons; logically, the Roaring Wing King should have been circling at the peak, patrolling his territory.
But once again, he ca up empty-handed! Atop the lone peak, only a large number of flying-type demons were hovering and screeching, but the BOSS with wings covering the sky was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Jie’s heart sank. He sped up, rushing to the next...
He made a quick round of several Demon Master strongholds, all of them were empty!
The remaining five World BOSSes, as if by a prior agreent, had all mysteriously disappeared from their original nests!
Xiao Jie stood on the giant stone throne of the Ape Ghost King, which was vacant and littered with various crude weapons and bones, his brows tightly knitted.
"Could it be that the system detected that I started hunting World BOSSes in advance, disrupting the normal flow of events, and made an ergency adjustnt to ’hide’ these BOSSes?" He first thought of this most likely explanation. "Indeed, if I eliminated all seven BOSSes before the event officially started, then what would be the point of the ’Fate Final Battle’ event 24 hours later?
Without World BOSSes for players to fight, the event would be anticlimactic.
Of course, there is also another possibility: "Or, is there so unknown connection between these Demon Masters? The continuous deaths of King Mingyuan and Fierce Fang Sky Slayer made the remaining five feel a deadly threat, so they actively hid, waiting for further orders from the Demon Star Tower Master?"
No matter which reason it is, the result is the sa—he can no longer casually "farm" the BOSSes as before.
"Damn!" Xiao Jie couldn’t help but swear under his breath, feeling a wave of irritation. Just then, the demons of the Ape Annihilation Clan, which had beco restless due to the occupation of their throne, roared angrily, surging up to attack him from behind rocks and caves on all sides.
Not needing an outlet for his frustration, Xiao Jie didn’t hold back, his figure flickering as he directly activated the White Dragon Dharma Aspect.
He spiraled upwards into the sky.
Dragon Thunder Defense—Thunderbolt!
In an instant, thunderclouds gathered above the solitary peak, countless scorching white lightning bolts poured down like torrential rain, covering the entire area. Thunder light roared, electric serpents danced wildly, and hordes of Ape Annihilation demons were reduced to charcoal in the thunder, with experience points rushing into Xiao Jie’s body like a tide.
After wiping out this wave of monsters, Xiao Jie’s body suddenly flashed with white light—
Level up!
He was startled, hastily checking his status. Sure enough, his level had increased from Level 47 to Level 48.
"Damn!" Xiao Jie’s face changed slightly. He imdiately looked at his most important attribute—the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation Progress.
[Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation Progress: 81%].
"Now I’m Level 48; I can go up two more levels to reach Level 50 full level. Based on previous experience, leveling up typically increases cultivation progress by around 4%-5% each ti." He quickly calculated ntally, "That ans, if I level up normally to Level 50, my cultivation progress might at most reach around 90%."
But to advance from Independent Immortal to True Immortal, the cultivation progress must reach 100%!
"I’m still at least 10% short! To be safe, it’s best to raise it by an additional 12%." Xiao Jie felt the pressure, "It seems I can’t casually kill monsters to level up anymore, otherwise my level will max out but my cultivation won’t, and that would be awkward."
He cald down, carefully reviewing and summarizing the current thods for enhancing Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation:
The first thod is leveling up. Each ti the level increases, it naturally drives cultivation growth. This is the most stable, primary thod. However, now he must control his level, avoiding easily reaching Level 50 full level.
The second thod is visualizing Divine Beasts or Immortal Beasts. For instance, previously visualizing the Golden Crow or Giant Kunkun (Peng), successfully visualizing either could instantly boost cultivation by about 5%-10%. Unfortunately, encountering entities of this level is rare and highly challenging.
The third thod is visualizing all things. This is the fundantal cultivation thod of the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal, including mountains, rivers, soil, stones, birds, beasts, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, all can be visualized. But this thod very slowly improves cultivation; each successful visualization typically only increases cultivation by 0.01% to 0.1%. The key problem is that, for a quick boost previously, Xiao Jie had already visualized most of the common animals, plants, and natural scenes around him, leading to a "material shortage."
At this mont, although the area was cleared out, countless different forms of demons continued to pour in from afar, and a thought suddenly occurred to Xiao Jie!
"These demons... aren’t they ready-made, brand new visualization subjects?!"
The enhancent of cultivation by visualizing in Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal follows the principle of "variety," aning every different creature or object provides cultivation experience once when successfully visualized for the first ti.
These demons co in myriad bizarre shapes, of many kinds, and many are mutant forms he had never encountered before. Doesn’t this an each new type of demon could provide him with a valuable visualization experience?
"Let’s do it!" Xiao Jie imdiately decided. Since the Demon Masters have concealed themselves and there’s nothing else to do, why not seize this opportunity to farm so cultivation?
He once again perford the Invisibility Technique, concealing all his aura, and like a patient naturalist, began roaming various demon-infested areas throughout Canglin State, conducting "shallow visualization" of those diverse demons. He did not pursue the deep understanding of the origin laws or attain transformation divine powers like when visualizing the Golden Crow or Giant Kunkun, only aiming to quickly capture their external shapes and basic characteristics to obtain the minimal cultivation experience needed.
The fact proved that this thod worked!
[Visualization Success (Evil Wing Vulture), Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation increased by 0.02%!]
[Visualization Success (Multi-eyed Lurker), Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation increased by 0.01%!]
[Visualization Success (Blast Fire Beetle), Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation increased by 0.03%!]
[Visualization Success (Shadow Evil Wolf), Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation increased by 0.02%!]...
Though each enhancent was minuscule, mostly fluctuating between 0.01% to 0.03%, the variety of demons was overwhelming! With the Dragon Blood Clan, Violent Teeth Clan, Hidden Abyss Clan, Rot Worm Clan, Split Feather Clan, Heart Stealing Clan, Ape Annihilation Clan... under the seven master clans, hundreds of subspecies and mutants with diverse shapes and functions were counted.
Xiao Jie continued this for a full two days. During these two days, he traversed almost every demon gathering point in Canglin State, like a highly efficient scanner, "recording" every kind of demon he could co across.
After nearly completing visualization of all he could, Xiao Jie opened the status bar, finally displaying a smile of relief.
[Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cultivation Progress: 93%!]
"Phew—finally done!" He exhaled a long breath of relief. Two sleepless days of monster "farming" visualization bore bountiful results. "This way, as long as I level up two more tis to reach Level 50 full level next, my cultivation progress will exactly break through 100%, enough for to advance to True Immortal!"
A weight lifted off his heart, Xiao Jie felt quite relieved. Although the BOSSes were gone, the harvest over these two days was, in a sense, more valuable than farming two BOSSes. He looked up into the distance, with the next step being to wait for the final battle event to officially comnce.
However, before that, it seed there’s still one person he needs to check on.
Xiao Jie thought and sent a private ssage to the Divine Calculation Sky Demon.
