I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

"The Spirit Realm was actually refined."

Shock appeared on Xu Qing’s face. He was truly stunned. He had long suspected that the power of the Nine Great Forbidden Lands far surpassed that of the Nine Great Origin Worlds.

However, actually hearing that the Spirit Realm, one of the Nine Great Origin Worlds, had been refined still left Xu Qing in shock. The news was truly astonishing.

"Yes."

The Twisted Demon God nodded. "The Nine Great Forbidden Lands initially set their sights on the Profound Yellow Realm, but the situation there changed. Three Immortals appeared, and they even drew upon the power of the Unique True Realm."

"So,"

"the Nine Great Forbidden Lands shifted their target to the Spirit Realm. They had been preparing for a long time and caught the Spirit Realm completely off guard. With all of them joining forces,"

"the Spirit Realm has been refined."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. "To think so much happened during the few hundred years I was in seclusion."

Afterward,

Xu Qing and the Twisted Demon God left the World of Ten Thousand Races. Since Xu Qing had no True Points, he was unable to upgrade the items in his possession.

He could only perform upgrades after obtaining True Points.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The scene shifted.

Shushan Sacred Land.

Sword One Dojo.

Inside the Cultivation Chamber.

Xu Qing and the Twisted Demon God had returned.

’Master and the others are all here.’

The moment he returned from the World of Ten Thousand Races, Xu Qing sensed the arrival of his master, Chen Wangu, and the others. He guessed they had been alerted by the phenomenon his breakthrough had caused.

"Let’s go."

With a calm expression, Xu Qing slowly walked out of the Cultivation Chamber.

The Twisted Demon God followed close behind.

Sword One Dojo.

Chen Wangu, the Profound Yellow Elder, and the Kunlun Daoist Monarch—all three had arrived. The Supreme Elder and the other Elders of the Shushan Sacred Land had also rushed over.

"Master."

SWISH!

Xu Qing took a step forward, his figure soaring through the air to land before Chen Wangu and the others. He clasped his hands in a salute. "Disciple Xu Qing pays his respects to Master."

"Good, good, good."

Chen Wangu’s face was wreathed in smiles. He gazed at Xu Qing, looking him up and down. "Worthy of being my disciple. You’ve truly broken through to the Eighth Realm."

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded. "I have not failed to live up to your expectations, Master."

"Good, good, good."

The smile on Chen Wangu’s face grew even wider.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader Chen."

The Kunlun Daoist Monarch smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, didn’t I tell you?"

The Profound Yellow Elder also chuckled.

「Half a month later.」

Xu Qing entering the Eighth Realm was a joyous occasion, so Chen Wangu announced it to the world. Just as the Profound Yellow Elder had done before, he hosted a grand banquet at the Shushan Sacred Land, inviting every renowned expert in the Profound Yellow Realm.

This grand event also lasted for several months before it concluded.

During the banquet,

Xu Qing finally met the Profound Yellow Elder’s Direct Disciple, Fairy Purple Mist, in person. She was an unparalleled beauty, without a single flaw to be seen.

"Fellow Daoist Xu."

Fairy Purple Mist clasped her hands in a salute to Xu Qing. "I have long heard that Sect Leader Chen has a Direct Disciple of peerless talent. Seeing you today, I find the rumors to be true—in fact, you even surpass them."

"Fairy Purple Mist, you flatter me."

Xu Qing waved a hand, looking Fairy Purple Mist over for a moment as a flash of admiration appeared in his eyes. "Compared to you, Fairy Purple Mist, I am still somewhat lacking."

"After all, you broke through to the Eighth Realm several years before I did."

After that,

Xu Qing and Fairy Purple Mist began to converse. They discussed the Dao with each other and grew increasingly familiar. The months of the banquet allowed Xu Qing and Fairy Purple Mist to become well-acquainted.

「Six months later.」

The banquet finally came to a close.

On this day,

"Xu Qing."

Chen Wangu summoned Xu Qing.

"Master."

Xu Qing saluted.

"According to our agreement from a thousand years ago, if you broke through to the Eighth Realm within a millennium, I would pass the position of Sect Leader of Shushan on to you."

Chen Wangu continued, "And now, you have indeed fulfilled that agreement. Furthermore, it is my intention to pass the position of Sect Leader of Shushan to you."

"What do you think?"

"This..."

Xu Qing frowned; he did not want to become the Sect Leader of Shushan.

"You’re unwilling?"

Chen Wangu asked, having clearly seen his reluctance.

"I..."

Xu Qing opened his mouth, then continued, "I am indeed somewhat unwilling to become the Sect Leader of Shushan."

"Ah, Xu Qing!"

Chen Wangu took a deep breath. "You need to understand something. I, too, was unwilling to become the Sect Leader of Shushan back then. But it couldn’t be helped."

"Because,"

"this is our responsibility."

"We became Shushan Disciples and grew step by step with the help of Shu Mountain’s resources. Now that we have matured, we must naturally bear the responsibility of upholding and protecting Shu Mountain."

"Xu Qing."

"You also relied on Shu Mountain’s resources to grow and reach the level you are at today. So, it is now your turn to shoulder this responsibility."

...

Xu Qing fell silent for a moment.

"Yes."

Finally,

Xu Qing lifted his head, his gaze calm as he looked at Chen Wangu. He nodded again and said, "I understand. In that case, I am willing to accept the position of Sect Leader of Shushan."

"Good, good, good."

Chen Wangu laughed heartily, his face filled with a joyous smile. "Since you have agreed, the succession ceremony will be held in half a year."

"Very well."

Xu Qing nodded.

「One month later.」

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Kunlun Daoist Palace.

Zhang Ling followed suit, absorbing and refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi. He used it to break through, successfully stepping into the Eighth Realm and becoming the third Holy Land’s Direct Disciple to do so.
