Living as a Demon Lord in the Dungeon

Foundation Building is a crucial step on a cultivator's path to cultivation!

A towering building rises from the ground; laying the foundation means building a solid base.

Without a solid foundation, every step in the future will be incredibly difficult.

Sean was well aware of the risks involved and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He first continuously circulated the "All Laws Return to Demonic Formation" to bring his body into an optimal state.

As the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits circulated, Sean unknowingly seemed to see the scene inside his own body.

The meridians throughout the body, the flow of the cultivation technique, and the vortex of primordial demonic energy in the dantian are slowly rotating.

He tried to activate the vortex of energy in his dantian and found that everything was so easy to do.

After much thought, it was probably because he had previously cultivated with Aisalia, and his spiritual sense was already far superior to that of a typical Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection cultivator.

With such powerful divine sense assisting him, the primordial energy vortex began to gradually accelerate in his dantian under Sean's impetus.

The demonic energy drifting around was gradually drawn into it. The vortex spun faster and faster, and the demonic energy accumulated more and more. The already full dantian suddenly became more than half empty.

Sean quickly accelerated the circulation of his cultivation technique, and the dense, inky innate demonic energy surged into his body like a tidal wave.

The cyclone accelerated and accelerated, emitting a buzzing sound!

The demonic energy grew increasingly dense! The barrier in his dantian trembled more and more violently!

Finally! When everything reached a critical point, a drop of jet-black liquid magic energy condensed and took shape.

Sean shuddered, his Foundation Establishment barrier collapsed, and the pressure of breaking through the realm spread like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire underground city!

Foundation building complete!

But he dared not slack off and accelerated the operation of the "All Laws Return to Demon Technique" again! The innate demonic energy in the Spirit Gathering Array rapidly entered his body, and the color of the Abyss Amethyst also faded quickly.

With the replenishment of massive amounts of innate demonic energy, the demonic energy vortex in the dantian is rapidly condensing into liquid demonic essence.

His cultivation level also continued to rise and surge, even breaking through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment!

But Sean understood that this was merely an illusion created by breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He remained focused on maintaining the operation of his cultivation technique, with liquid demonic energy circulating within his dantian.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for his cultivation level to drop, eventually stabilizing at the second stage of Foundation Establishment.

Only then did Sean let out a long breath and slowly open his eyes.

The dark elf sisters in the room were looking at Sean with concern. When they saw that he had finished meditating, they quickly came to his bedside.

"Master, you! You've successfully broken through?"

"yes……"

Sean felt the demonic energy flowing in his dantian and smiled with satisfaction. A single drop of this demonic energy was equivalent to all the demonic energy of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this is an absolute leap forward compared to a Qi Refining cultivator, a complete and utter crushing defeat.

What excites Sean the most is that after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he will be able to control his sword with his qi!

He jumped out of bed without waiting and unleashed the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade under the curious gazes of the dark elf sisters.

As the demonic energy and divine sense slowly circulated, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade suddenly flew into the air and began to circle in the bedroom, startling the dark elf sisters into screaming repeatedly!

"This is amazing! Master, what is this? Your weapon can fly!"

"This is the method used by those in the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Sean controlled the magic blade as it shot out of the window, leaving a deep sword mark on the city wall, and in the blink of an eye, it flew back to the bedroom.

"With a single thought, I can take someone's head from a thousand miles away! Of course, I can't control it that far yet."

"Once my cultivation level improves and my spiritual sense strengthens, flying on a sword will be a piece of cake!"

The two dark elf sisters looked at Sean with admiration. Their master was indeed both mysterious and powerful!

Sean sheathed the magic blade and reached out to play with Aisalia's ear: "How's your recovery going?"

Elves have very sensitive ears, and Aisalia's was no exception. A blush of shyness spread from her ears all the way down her snow-white neck.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I'm almost fully recovered. If... if I could cultivate with you a few more times, I think I'd be completely healed."

Isa puffed out her cheeks and muttered softly, "My sister is so cunning..."

Sean chuckled and ruffled Isa's hair: "And you, how's the Ten Thousand Souls Banner refinement going?"

"Master, I've already refined over a hundred banner spirits! It's just...it's just..."

Isa hesitated before speaking, "I haven't successfully refined any of those powerful wailing banshees yet."

Sean grinned: "Your cultivation level is still too low. Besides refining the banner spirit, you should also focus on improving your cultivation level."

The higher one's cultivation level, the faster one can refine one's skills; this is called "sharpening the axe before chopping wood."

However, you've already done a remarkable job of refining over a hundred banner spirits!

Receiving the praise, Isha happily raised her head: "Thank you, Master. Isha will continue to work hard."

"Um...by the way, Isha, how long have I been in seclusion?"

Isa tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Hmm, about two and a half days, less than three days."

Sean nodded without speaking. In his own perception, only two or three hours had passed from the start of the breakthrough to success. He never expected that two and a half days had already passed.

It seems that cultivators often feel that a day in the mountains is equivalent to a thousand years in the world, and this is not just a saying.

"Aisalia, you should continue to recuperate. Isha, you should also continue to refine the banner spirit. It can be used to protect the dungeon when necessary."

Sean strode towards the door: "I'm going to see how the minotaurs are doing with their training."

"Yes, Master."

After leaving the city lord's palace, Sean arrived at the bustling square in front of the palace.

The spirit-gathering array was still operating, but the innate demonic energy had become somewhat thin. In the arena, some minotaurs were meditating and cultivating, while others were engaged in fierce battles, mutually promoting the tempering of their physical bodies.

"Lord City Lord? Captain! Look, the Lord City Lord is here!"

Upon seeing Sean's arrival, everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly assembled into two teams.

Carlos and Minos jogged up to him and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

"Oh ho? You're more well-behaved than before!"

Minos scratched his head and chuckled, "I'm the one who had them practice! I didn't have time before, but these three days were perfect for teaching them some rules while they were training."

We can't be a makeshift crew; we're the real underground city guards!

Sean nodded approvingly: "Excellent! Military discipline is the guarantee of an army's combat effectiveness!"

"By the way, three days are almost up. How's your cultivation progressing?"

Carlos and Minos exchanged a smile, and Carlos spoke with a proud expression:

"Reporting to the City Lord! All fifty-three members of the First and Second Guard Teams of Wanfa City have advanced to the third level of Qi Refining!"

Moreover, both of our captains have broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!

Lord City Lord, please inspect this!
