While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

The Evil Organisation that the great elder had entered an agreement with were not only a threat to ordinary people, but all cultivators and since they had gained so much power from the shadows, they were even more dangerous.

They had underhanded means to get the negative energy that they needed, such as through hospitals. The energy in the area around a specific area was affected by the living beings and plants in the area and was also affected by nature and the elements themselves.

This meant that when one was going through trauma or feeling negative emotions, they would unknowingly emit small amounts of negative energy, which would accumulate and was beneficial to cultivators of negative energy.

In a society filled with mental health issues and many different ways to negatively affect someone, a cultivator of negative energy would have an abundant amount of negative energy within a densely populated city.

However, most cultivators couldn't even tell the difference and couldn't gauge what type of energy or its orientation, so many would unknowingly store negative energy within their body, which could be very harmful.

The negative energy would clash with their positive energy and without knowing it, they were affecting the foundations and stability of their cultivation and were also damaging themselves internally. 

It could even destroy one's cultivation and once again showed how important one's mental state and emotions were. For ordinary humans that didn't absorb and store large amounts of energy into their bodies, they didn't have to worry about such consequences as the amount of negative and positive energy they were emitting and absorbing was very small.

However when one became a cultivator, their bodies would be opened up to so many energy types and although without an affinity with the different energy types, one wouldn't be able to absorb them, they could absorb attributeless negative and positive energy.

Negative energy could be purified as energy could switch between orientations depending on the wielders mind, emotions, soul and physical state, but it was very hard to do so.

It required great willpower and in most cases required assistance, resources and special methods to do so, but most would keep the negative power and become addicted to the feeling of superiority that it gave them.

Small amounts of negative energy could be easily used or purified by a cultivator when they felt negative emotions, but it was when was consumed and blinded by it, then it was dangerous.

Adam was yet to come across an evil cultivator and most others hadn't, but within the large cultivation families, it had become a massive issue that they were becoming worried about as more and more evil cultivators were appearing.

Just like ordinary cultivation, cultivating negative energy was difficult and very hard to do without a cultivation method, which meant someone or a group of people were giving out these methods and causing havoc in the city.

Even people like the great elder of the Epstein Family were drawn to their evil side by the benefits of evil cultivation and there was a volcano of destruction under the city on the verge of exploding.

However, the evil cultivation organisation made a mistake when they messed with Adam's aunt in the hospital and at the rate that Adam was progressing at and in the process, assisting the development of those around him, he was a force to be reckoned with. 

"Young master, I am not sure if you know this, but the energy that the great elder just used was evil energy. He must have used a forbidden skill and was clearly consumed by hate" informed him one of the elders.

Cole nodded his head in understanding and didn't know what to do next with the great elder.

Walking over to the great elder who was struggling in the grip of the elder that had grabbed him before he could try to get away, Cole was unsure what to do with him.

"What do you want to do with him young master?" asked the elder who was holding the great elder from the back of his neck.

Cole obviously wanted to kill him for all the pain and suffering he had caused his close family, but despite knowing that it would be understood by the elders, Cole knew that in the current circumstance, it wasn't the best thing to do.

"The great elder's punishment will be served at a later date, but for now lock him up and make sure he doesn't die. Since he used a forbidden skill, we will investigate him and find out where he got the skill from" instructed Cole.

His wise and mature decision surprised and pleased the elders who respected him even more after hearing his decision, as they began to clear the area and did as Cole instructed.

Angela, along with Wayde who was carrying Adam over his shoulder walked over to Cole, who was talking to a few of the elders and giving them a few instructions.

Despite not officially becoming the family head yet, he was respected and treated as though he had become the family head as even the elders that had previously supported the great elder were on his side.

"Cole, I need to return to Brooklyn and sort out my family affairs as soon as possible" stated Angela.

"I understand, just make sure to take care of my friend as if he isn't taken care of, I will make sure you and your entire family are wiped out," said Cole who despite smiling at her, was completely serious.

Even Wayde felt slightly intimidated by his threat, but since they didn't have any negative intentions towards Adam, they didn't have anything to worry about.

"We want to take care of him and repay him just as much as you do, as if it weren't, neither of us would be in this position" reassured him Angela.

"That's good to hear. I will get our three opponents healed, but I will have to lock them up. After we are in an alliance, I will escort your family members back to your family safely" stated Cole.

"Okay that makes sense, but please do not kill them. Although I do dislike them and they are very cunning, they are part of the family and will most likely become powerful elders in the future" said Angela.

Since she was becoming the family head, it was best for her not to have grudges between herself and other family members, and they would also be of great help to her and the family in the future.

Cole reassured them that they wouldn't die as he bid them farewell and instructed all the elders and guards to let them leave.

Clearing the arena and trying his best to make sure that there weren't any information leaks, Cole was instructing the elders and the elders were instructing their subordinates as they closed off the area in preparation to return to their headquarters.

Meanwhile, news of Angela, Cole and the mysterious individual's victory had spread throughout New York.

It was a great shock that something about the Epstein Family had become so widely known as usually, they were a very secretive family and nothing was known about who the family head was.

However, for the first time, there were two worthy candidates and the family agreed that they should battle for the position. Such a large scale battle made it easy for some cultivators to get in and find out what had happened, which had caused a great information leak.

Despite the information leak, the Epstein Family were not worried or angry about it as all that was known was that a youth named Cole had taken on the Family Head position and had an alliance with the one that was most likely to become the next Maxwell Family Head.

The elders had nothing to worry about and were proud of their new young family head who would lead them to a new era of prosperity, glory, power and knowledge.

In the penthouse, the Maxwell Family Head, who had managed to have a small breakthrough in his cultivation, was pacing up and down his room, awaiting the news of the result of the battle.

It hadn't taken him long to breakthrough after his enlightenment and after that, he anxiously awaited the result of the battle that not only affected his family and the Epstein Family, but also the entirety of New York.

As soon as his phone rang, he instantly answered and eagerly asked his subordinate for the result of the battle.

"Sir we have been escorted out of the arena and some of us have been captured as spies, but I managed to get away and am currently leaving the area. Angela, Cole and the masked youth won the battle. This means that Cole and Angela will become the next family head" informed him his subordinate who was clearly out of breath.

The Maxwell Family head didn't know how to react to the news as he sat down on his bed and thought about what to do next.
