Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Zhang Feng, a mortal, finds himself unexpectedly transported to the Chaotic Star Sea in the human realm, where he encounters ghostly mist and enters the Netherworld. Upon awakening an experience panel, he discovers that any cultivation technique can be improved by grinding experience. With this new understanding, Zhang Feng sets his sights on a straightforward cultivation path: surviving in the Netherworld and accumulating experience. The Netherworld offers a unique environment filled with a life-sustaining aura, where cultivators shed their outside cultivation levels, allowing them to grow as if they were mortals. As Zhang Feng navigates this treacherous realm, he slays demons, acquires cores in the outer sea, refines his cultivation in the inner sea, seizes treasures in the Void Heaven Palace, and ultimately proves his Dao to the Nascent Soul stage in the Star Palace War.
