Chapter 353: 1 Month Later

Adam's master was still in shock after hearing what Adam had said and everything that he had seen him do, which he hadn't seen even in ancients, however despite Adam's confidence, he felt as though Adam was slightly too ambitious.

"Focus on improving as a cultivator for now and what is above is even too dangerous for the ancients who opt to stay on Earth and act as its protectors and secret rulers. Adam, ambition is good, but don't look too far when you aren't even a match for ordinary cultivators that can be found within this city" advised his master.

Adam smiled after hearing what his master said and pretended to take on his advice, but in the back of his mind, he knew that no matter what, he would achieve everything he wanted to achieve.

He skipped from struggling against ordinary cultivators in a city that was relatively weak in terms of cultivation, to wanting to explore and dominate the universe, however with the Dungeon System, Adam's drive and his determination, everything was possible.

"I have had many reasons for wanting to get stronger, but now I am sure of what my reasons are. No matter what happens, the universe is too wide for me to give up at such an early stage and I must always continue progressing. If I lose people I care about, they will only act as a drive for me to continue progressing and make sure that the same doesn't happen to others I care about and I will get back my aunt" said Adam determinedly.

"I want to roam the universe at will. I want to live freely without restraint. I want nobody to be able to look down on me, bully me or humiliate me. I want to be respected, renowned and revered and will crush anything that gets in the way of my path of cultivation or what I want" stated Adam before struggling to closing his eyes and activating the Ethereal Recovery Skill.

Although it wouldn't be able to completely heal his injuries that were more spiritual, mental and internal, it would soothe his body that was in immense pain and also aid his body's recovery speed as he left his master with a shocked expression.

"One's heart and mind are key to improving and mind was always shaky, distracted and had been broken many times, stopping me from reaching my full potential. One's mind and heart can be tainted by negative cultivation and overwhelmed by the negativity that may not be compatible with human bodies. But as long as one's heart and mind are strong and unwavering no matter what, one can not only reach their full potential, but also surpass it, as long as they work hard towards their goal" said the old man to himself, impressed by how determined and confident Adam was.

Adam heard what his master said and had figured that out after experiencing different ups and downs in his life as he contemplated on all the things he knew while his body automatically attempted to recover.

[An Evil Soul entered my aunt's body. Could it be from the soul sea or somebody trying to possess her or some kind of powerful demon trying to find a host. Or could it be some sort of Evil Cultivator from the Evil Cultivation Organisation trying to take over my aunt and use it to get to me. There are so many possibilities, but now that I am learning more about souls, I will make sure to find a way to not only get it out of my aunt's body, but also destroy it] thought Adam to himself as he cleared his mind and gathered his thoughts.

After a few hours of meditation, Adam felt much better and could feel that although his body was still in a damaged and unstable state, his mind and spirit were not only recovered, but also improved.

He gained a purpose, things he wanted to achieve and a way to achieve them.

The path had finally been clearly set before him and although there may be obstacles and he also may wander off the path for periods of time, as long as he followed it, everything would turn out how he wanted it to.

Adam spent the rest of the month that was left until the system reset, to recover back to his peak and after 1 week passed, began training again.

While resting for a week, he had gone over all of his battles and learnt from his mistakes while improving the skills he produced within his mind, using his mindscape to do so.

He had never used his mindscape to train in, but since his body wasn't in a state to train in at that time, he tried it out and it was surprisingly useful.

Although his body wouldn't be accustomed to what he was training, his mind was practising and as long as he willed and imagined it, the mindscape would change to match his intentions.

Using that, he created a large open area within his mind and also used Ava, who had all the knowledge, skill and information that Adam had, as a sparring partner.

It was fun and a good opportunity to train while getting closer to Ava, and after doing so for a week, he began training in reality.

His master was continuously being impressed by Adam who was always progressing at unbelievable rates and finding new ways to shock him.

He trained with his master for the rest of the month and wasn't trying to improve his body or put too much strain on it, as it hadn't recovered fully, so was more focused on improving his skills and knowledge.

Adam showed his master the Unique Clone Skill and used his clone to study arrays, since the clone was completely obedient and had a clear mind, making it able to learn and understand arrays much faster than Adam who would prefer to train in combat.

With that, he was doing two things at once and his progress was only continuing to grow faster and faster.
