I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

The hunt began.

"Great Dao Sword Technique."

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!

Xu Qing attacked repeatedly, slaying one contaminated Wood Root Sea Demon Beast after another. From the bodies of these Wood Root Sea Demon Beasts, he obtained portion after portion of Purifying Water.

In addition, as Xu Qing continued to slay the Wood Root Sea Demon Beasts, the ones he encountered grew progressively stronger and more difficult to kill.

He went from fighting Level 1 Wood Root Sea Demon Beasts all the way up to encountering Level 7 ones.

In fact, the moment Xu Qing encountered a Level 7 Wood Root Sea Demon Beast, he immediately retreated, not engaging it in battle at all.

Furthermore, later on, Xu Qing even saw Level 8 and Level 9 Wood Root Sea Demon Beasts, all of which were incredibly powerful.

Therefore, no matter how strong Xu Qing was, unless he could achieve the level of the Three Great Immortals, there was absolutely no way he could slay a Level 9 Wood Root Sea Demon God.

The gap between them was simply too vast.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

"Die!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Xu Qing unleashed a powerful assault, using the Time Treasure Tower, the Carefree Sword, his True Techniques, and more. He had to unleash his full strength to finally annihilate the Level 6 Wood Root Sea Demon Beast before him.

"Hah..."

Xu Qing gazed at the enormous, dragon-shaped corpse before him. It was an exceptionally powerful Level 6 Wood Root Sea Demon Beast.

Although it was only Level 6, its power was nearly comparable to that of a Level 7.

It was extremely strong.

Even Xu Qing had been forced to use his full power to destroy it.

HUM!

Then, with a gesture of his left hand, Xu Qing once again extracted the Purifying Water from the massive corpse. As always, there was only a single liter of it.

Apparently, regardless of a contaminated Wood Root Sea Demon Beast’s level or power, its body would only ever produce one liter of Purifying Water.

Xu Qing put the liter of Purifying Water away.

Afterward, HUM!

Xu Qing emerged from the sea and stood in the air above its surface. With a thought, he took out the Token given to him by the Wood Root Elf Race.

SWOOSH!

A brilliant light flashed.

Another member of the Level 1 Wood Root Elf Clan appeared before Xu Qing.

"Respected outsider."

The Level 1 Wood Root Elf bowed to Xu Qing in greeting.

"Mm."

Xu Qing said nothing more, simply handing the Purifying Water to her.

However, this time, the Level 1 Wood Root Elf did not accept Xu Qing’s Purifying Water.

Moreover, her expression changed slightly.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Xu Qing frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Respected outsider."

The Level 1 Wood Root Elf looked embarrassed. "I am truly sorry, but we only have half of the Token Fragments for the World of Wood Origin."

"Now,"

"we can no longer give you any different fragments. Even if we gave you more, they would just be duplicates of the ones you already have. You wouldn’t be able to form a complete Token."

At that moment, Xu Qing’s heart jolted. He finally understood.

"You deceived me!"

Xu Qing’s expression darkened slightly.

At the same time, Xu Qing also realized something.

Here in the World of Wood Origin,

the Wood Root Elf Race controlled half of the Token, while the Wood Root Mermaid Race controlled the other half. Only by combining both halves could one form a complete Token.

But the Wood Root Elf Race and the Wood Root Mermaid Race were rivals. When you chose to help the Wood Root Elf Race by hunting Wood Root Sea Demon Beasts, you became an enemy of the Wood Root Mermaid Race.

From then on,

the Wood Root Mermaid Race would no longer trade with you.

As a result,

you could never obtain the other half of the Token.

Similarly,

if you chose to help the Wood Root Mermaid Race and enter the Natural Forest to hunt Tree Demons and other such monsters, you would completely offend the Wood Root Elves.

In that case,

you would likewise be unable to obtain the other half of the Token.

Under these circumstances,

there were only two options left.

The first option:

Outsiders could fight and steal from one another.

For example,

Xu Qing could find an outsider who was helping the Wood Root Mermaid Race, kill them, and take their half of the Token. This would allow him to form a complete Token, leave this place, and travel to another Root Source World.

The second option:

He could use absolute martial power to suppress either the Wood Root Elf Race or the Wood Root Mermaid Race and seize all the Token Fragments from them.

Obviously,

with Xu Qing’s current strength, the second option was not feasible.

Therefore,

he could only choose the first option.

To plunder the other half of the Token from someone else.

"Respected outsider, we had no intention of deceiving you."

The Level 1 Wood Root Elf shook her head. "From the very beginning, we have been honest with you. Besides, you never asked us about this matter."

"So,"

"we never deceived you."

"No deception?"

Xu Qing shook his head. "Then you concealed the truth."

"You didn’t ask, so we saw no need to bring it up specifically,"

the Level 1 Wood Root Elf said.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"

Xu Qing’s face was grim.

"You won’t."

The Level 1 Wood Root Spirit shook her head, calm and very confident. "You have already become an enemy of the Wood Root Mermaid Race."

"Now,"

"if you kill me, you will become an enemy of the Wood Root Elf Race."

"At that point,"

"you will have enemies everywhere in the entire World of Wood Origin."

"That is definitely not the outcome you desire."

"Also,"

the Level 1 Wood Root Spirit continued, "although we cannot provide you with any more unique fragments, we have other Treasures available for you to exchange for and choose from."

"There’s no need."

Xu Qing put the Purifying Water away.

"This..."

The Level 1 Wood Root Spirit was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded and said, "Honorable Outsider, although you cannot get the other half of the Token from us."

"However,"

"there are many other outsiders in the World of Wood Origin. Quite a few of them have chosen to help the Wood Root Mermaid Race and are hunting our former brethren in the Natural Forest."

"I believe you can get what you want from these other outsiders."

"I wish you the best of luck."

HUM!

As soon as she finished speaking, the Level 1 Wood Root Spirit departed.

’This is really frustrating!’

Xu Qing watched the Level 1 Wood Root Spirit leave. Given his temper, the thought of killing her had certainly crossed his mind.

However, what the Level 1 Wood Root Spirit said was not wrong. If Xu Qing had attacked her, he would be beset by enemies on all sides in the World of Wood Origin.

Moreover,

Xu Qing didn’t have the strength to oppose the entire World of Wood Origin.

After all,

within the Wood Root Elf Race, there was bound to be a Ninth-Level Wood Root Spirit, an existence comparable to someone who had achieved the third stage of Immortality.

Xu Qing was no match for such a being.

In fact,

even if Xu Qing truly stepped into the Undying Immortal realm, achieved the first stage of Immortality, and had his True Techniques and Supreme Treasures, he still wouldn’t be a match.

Achieving the level of the Three Great Immortals.

It would represent an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

It could be said that,

below the level of the Three Great Immortals,

all others were mere ants. It was a completely different league.

’Looks like I have to go with the first option after all.’

Xu Qing took a deep breath and gazed in the direction of the Natural Forest. ’Also, I wonder how Zhang Ling is doing.’

’I hope everything is going smoothly for him.’

’And another thing.’

’Before I make a move, I can work on improving my Cultivation. I’ve obtained so many Token Fragments, and I still haven’t absorbed the True Points from them.’
