I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

In truth, even if it were only a Level 1 Hongmeng Purple Qi, absorbing and refining it would have been enough to help Xu Qing raise his Cultivation to the very peak of the Seventh Realm.

Now, however...

Xu Qing had elevated the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Level 1 all the way to Level 10, shattering the limitations of the ’Unique True Realm’ and transforming the incomplete strand into something whole and flawless.

What’s more,

It had even drawn upon the Power of the ’Unique True Realm’ and brought down a ’Thunder Punishment’ upon Xu Qing.

Therefore,

The Level 10 Hongmeng Purple Qi contained an incredible Power. Yet, Xu Qing had absorbed but a minuscule fraction of its Energy—less than a drop in the ocean—and had already reached the ’Ninth Heaven of Saint Realm’, the absolute limit of the ’Saint Realm’.

Hooo...

Xu Qing had entered a state of seclusion. He felt the changes within his body; he had already condensed nine Primordial Saint Seals. The next step was to fuse all nine of them, to further comprehend the essence of the ’Dao’. This would sublimate them, advancing them into a ’Primordial Great Saint Seal’.

By then,

Xu Qing’s Cultivation would break through once more, stepping from the ’Ninth Heaven of Saint Realm’ into the ’Great Saint Realm First Layer Heaven’.

「At this moment.」

Outside the Profound Yellow Realm.

Within the Sea of Chaos.

HUMMM! HUMMM! HUMMM!

Chen Wangu, the Kunlun Daoist Monarch, and the Profound Yellow Elder had joined forces. The three of them managed to intimidate the powerful enemies gathered from all sides, intercepting them outside the Profound Yellow Realm.

Of course,

The Undying Immortal beings from the other Eight Great Origin Worlds and the Nine Great Forbidden Lands had not launched a full-scale assault. The primary reason for their hesitation was uncertainty; they had no idea what kind of power, or what sort of being, could have attracted the Power of the ’Unique True Realm’.

This, combined with the presence of three Undying Immortal beings—Chen Wangu, the Kunlun Daoist Monarch, and the Profound Yellow Elder—was why they dared not make a rash move.

As a result,

Both sides were locked in a stalemate.

"Break!"

BOOM!

Xu Qing let out a great shout. Nine dazzlingly brilliant Primordial Saint Seals immediately appeared around him. As Xu Qing absorbed and refined the Power of the Level 10 Hongmeng Purple Qi, his surroundings shimmered with waves of purple light.

Then, beams of that purple light began fusing the Primordial Saint Seals together one by one, triggering a transformation. They evolved into the even more powerful ’Primordial Great Saint Seal’.

And so,

The intensity of Xu Qing’s aura began to rise, gradually breaking past its limits. The incomparably profound ’Primordial Great Saint Seal’ surfaced on his brow as he stepped into the second major tier of the ’Seventh Realm: Saint Realm’—the ’Great Saint Realm First Layer Heaven’.

Hooo...

Xu Qing took a deep breath, fully immersed in his new state. A smile touched his lips. He had still only absorbed a mere drop in the ocean of the Level 10 Hongmeng Purple Qi’s Energy.

"Xu Qing’s Cultivation has broken through."

At that moment,

The Profound Yellow Elder was the first to notice Xu Qing’s condition. "He has reached the second major tier of the ’Seventh Realm: Saint Realm’," he said, his voice laced with surprise.

"Indeed."

The Kunlun Daoist Monarch nodded as well. "He has indeed stepped into the ’Great Saint Realm First Layer Heaven’."

"So what?"

Chen Wangu’s tone was still one of disappointment, like a mentor frustrated that his protégé was not living up to his potential. "Based on his previous Cultivation speed, he had every chance of using the Hongmeng Purple Qi’s Energy to break through to the ’Eighth Realm’ before the ’Only True Path’ opens."

"By then,"

"He would have had a chance to step onto the ’Only True Path’ with us. And as long as one steps onto the ’Only True Path’, there is hope of entering the ’Unique True Realm’."

"Now,"

"Xu Qing has started devouring and refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi at this stage. When the time comes, without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, how is he supposed to reach the ’Eighth Realm’ in such a short time?"

"It’s simply impossible."

"Besides,"

"Xu Qing absorbed the Hongmeng Purple Qi and only managed to break through from the ’Eighth Heaven of Saint Realm’ to the ’Great Saint Realm First Layer Heaven’. That’s nothing to be happy about."

"Anyone,"

"At his level could have done the same by absorbing the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

"Fellow Daoist Chen."

The Profound Yellow Elder shook his head, his focus remaining on Xu Qing. "I, this old man, believe there’s more to Xu Qing than meets the eye, and more to this situation as well. It’s far too early for you to be drawing such conclusions."

"Exactly, exactly."

The Kunlun Daoist Monarch nodded and added, "Since Senior Brother Xuanhuang has said so... Besides, Sect Leader Chen, Xu Qing is your own Direct Disciple. Have you lost faith in him?"

"Hah..."

Chen Wangu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "It’s not that I don’t believe in him. It’s just that his sudden actions have truly taken me by surprise. Naturally, I..."

"Fellow Daoist Chen."

The Profound Yellow Elder waved his hand, cutting Chen Wangu off. "We understand. For now, let’s focus on how to deal with these people outside."

"Mm."

Chen Wangu nodded.

"Senior Brother Xuanhuang, in my view, whether it’s the Undying Immortal beings from the other Eight Great Origin Worlds or the Forbidden Immortal Life from the Nine Great Forbidden Lands, they won’t act rashly. Not until they figure out what’s really going on, and with the three of us standing guard here."

The Kunlun Daoist Monarch mused for a moment before continuing, "Besides, the ’Only True Path’ is set to open in just seven or eight hundred years. They need to prepare for its opening as well."

"So,"

"I am certain they neither dare, nor will, waste too much time in a standoff with us here."

"What the Kunlun Daoist Monarch says does make sense."
