I Created A Dungeon In A Cultivation World

In the next moment, a small golden text emerges in his hand, and it drilled through Tan Zong's forehead.

Tan Zong felt something drill deep into his soul, then disappeared. Looking at Argon again, he has a feeling of worship, he can't even think of any bad intent toward Argon.

"Thank you, My Lord, for making me your subordinate." he said, while kneeling respectfully.

Argon nodded in approval, pleased with Tan Zong's submission. "Rise, my loyal servant. You will find that serving me will be a great honor and a path to great power."

Tan Zong stood up, feeling a new sense of purpose and determination. He knew that his life was about to change drastically, but he was excited to see what the future held for him as a subordinate of Argon.

"Now, go and make a city outside the dungeon," Argon commanded. "Do whatever it takes to make it yours, and report back to me with any valuable information or potential threats to the dungeon."

"As a small gift for you for becoming my servant, I will rise your cultivation to Qi Gathering Realm." Argon said, that made Tan Zong's heart skip a beat from excitement.

To rise Tan Zong's cultivation, will cost him two thousand soul coins. Right now, Argon has a total of twelve thousand soul coins. Out of five thousand humans, only around four hundred to five hundred survived.

'System rise Tan Zong's cultivation to early-stage Qi Gathering Realm.' Argon ordered in his mind.

Tan Zong felt a surge of energy flow through his body as his cultivation was raised to the Qi Gathering Realm. He could feel his strength increase, and his appearance also changed.

He doesn't look like a corpse anymore, it's similar to humans, however, you can tell by his pale skin and red eyes that he was not a human at all.

"Thank you, My Lord. I will not disappoint you," Tan Zong said, bowing in gratitude.

"Remember, Tan Zong," Argon said, "you are my eyes and ears in the outside world. Keep me informed of any threats or opportunities, and I will reward you accordingly."

Tan Zong nodded, understanding the importance of his role as Argon's subordinate. He knew that he had to be vigilant and always keep his master's interests in mind.

Argon bought an upgraded version of the mask he first bought, this mask can fool even a Golden Core Realm, and it cost him four hundred soul coins.

"Take this," The mask floated towards Tan Zong's hand. "This concealing mask is effective even in a Golden Core powerhouse."

Tan Zong received the mask carefully with a trembling hand, he can't believe he can own such an item. As far as he knows, there was only one Golden Core expert in this place. And that was the Sect Master of the Plague Sect.

With that, Argon opened a portal to the outside world. Tan Zong thanked Argon again, before going in. Shortly after, he found himself in a familiar forest, in the distance he can see a bustling town.

As time goes by many people heard about the dungeon. Some of them were curious, some were frightened, and some saw an opportunity for profit. Tan Zong knew that he had to act fast before other forces started to encroach on the area.

Tan Zong flies and hovered over the town with great fanfare. His aura covered the town, which made all the people look up.

"Attention, everyone," Tan Zong announced, his voice echoing throughout the town. "I am Tan Zong, and I will claim this place and build a city here. I want everyone to help me build a city. Of course, it's not for free, I will pay you with one spirit stone a day.

The people in the town were shocked at Tan Zong's bold announcement, but the promise of a spirit stone a day was too tempting to pass up. They quickly gathered around Tan Zong, eager to hear more about his plans.

Tan Zong explained his vision for the city, detailing how it would be built around the dungeon and would serve as a hub for adventurers seeking to explore the dangerous depths below. He also promised to keep the town safe from any threats that may arise.

The people were impressed by Tan Zong's charisma and confidence, and many of them quickly pledged their allegiance to him. They formed work teams and began construction on the new city, with Tan Zong overseeing the whole operation.

As the days went by, the city began to take shape, and Tan Zong's reputation as a powerful and benevolent ruler spread throughout the nearby town, and people started flocking to the newly built city. Adventurers flocked to the city, eager to test their skills in the dungeon and reap the rewards that lay within.
