I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, studying the map in his hands. He had no clue about the ’True Path Key’, but now he possessed a map that recorded its location.

So.

Even if this was a trap, Xu Qing had to go. He had to investigate.

"Time to go."

SWISH!

Xu Qing’s expression was thoughtful. He took a step forward and his figure vanished in an instant. He followed the route marked on the map.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye.

「Three days later.」

Xu Qing had already reached the location marked on the map, arriving at his destination. During these three days, he had encountered many people and quite a few Deceit along the way.

So.

Xu Qing had taken action multiple times, slaying every Deceit he came across.

"This is it."

Xu Qing took a deep breath and looked down. A vast, dense jungle stretched out before him, and in its deepest part lay a set of Ancient Ruins.

The ’True Path Key’ was hidden within these Ancient Ruins.

Moreover.

The entire boundless primeval jungle naturally formed a massive Illusion Array, like a world unto itself, creating a labyrinth.

If one were to enter this vast primeval jungle without a map, they would be trapped in the labyrinth, never to find their way out.

They might even become completely lost within it.

SWISH!

Xu Qing took a step, traversing the Void. He entered the vast primeval jungle, took out the map, and began to navigate the labyrinth according to its guidance.

In the blink of an eye.

「A day later.」

Xu Qing emerged from the labyrinth. He had encountered many beings along the way, mostly ignoring them, but whenever he met a Deceit, he would act to destroy it.

It could be said that with Xu Qing’s strength, his True Techniques and True Artifacts were among his greatest trump cards. On top of that, he had the empowering Power of the Encyclopedia of All Things.

Thus.

Even if Xu Qing were to truly encounter a being at the Immortal Level, he would not be afraid. He possessed the strength and foundation to fight one.

"I’m finally out."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He had walked out of the labyrinth and reached the deepest part of the vast primeval jungle. Just as he emerged, he saw towering complexes of Ancient Ruins.

"This is..."

Xu Qing murmured, walking forward.

Around him.

Many people and other beings had already arrived. Stationed around the perimeter of the Ancient Ruins were numerous Deceit, each one exuding a powerful aura.

These Deceit blocked other beings and races, forbidding them from entering.

Trespassers would be killed without exception.

"What is the meaning of this? What gives you the right to stop us from entering? This isn’t your Forbidden Land!"

At that moment.

A powerful member of the Dragon Race stepped forward. He pointed at the crowd of Deceit and roared furiously, "Besides, the Divine Beast Realm is our Dragon Race’s territory."

"You have no right to stop us."

"That’s right."

"Get out of the way, now."

"..."

The other beings and races also shouted in anger.

"Insolent!"

BUZZ!

In the next instant.

A potent surge of Immortal Power was released. A powerful Deceit was seen raising a strange mirror.

WHOOSH!

The strange mirror shot out a beam of light infused with formidable Immortal Power. With unstoppable force, it instantly annihilated the Dragon Race member who had just been shouting.

SPLAT!

Blood splattered everywhere.

The member of the Dragon Race died on the spot.

"It’s simple."

The Deceit, who resembled a black shadow, snorted coldly. Looking down from on high, it surveyed the crowd with an indifferent yet incredibly arrogant tone. "We discovered these Ancient Ruins first, so they naturally belong to us. No being or race may enter without our permission."

"One more thing."

"Our power is sufficient, while yours is too weak. You are not qualified to set foot in the ’Ancient Ruins’, much less search for the ’True Path Key’."

Xu Qing took a slow breath. He scanned his surroundings and saw some familiar figures—several members of the Human Race at the Dao Realm. They were Grand Elders from the Nine Great Sacred Lands of the Profound Yellow Realm.

There were quite a few of them.

Three of them in total.

Besides them.

There were other beings and races, but all of them were at the Eighth Realm: Dao Realm. Not a single one had reached the Immortal Level.

In fact.

If they were to truly encounter an Immortal being, these Deceit wouldn’t stop them. They were merely following the orders of a Forbidden Immortal Life to block anyone below the Immortal Level from entering.

"Ahem..."

Xu Qing gave a light cough. The other beings and races present had all seen the gruesome death of the Dragon Race member, and fear was evident on their faces.

However.

Xu Qing’s expression remained unchanged. With a calm look, he started walking toward the complex of Ancient Ruins.

"Halt!"

Immediately.

A powerful Deceit moved to block his path.

"Well, well, you’ve got some nerve, kid. We just killed that loudmouth from the Dragon Race, and you still dare to approach."

"Then just kill him."

The powerful Deceit wore dark expressions and sneered relentlessly.

"Sect... Sect Leader Xu..."

"This is..."

"It’s you! You’re here too..."

"..."

Instantly.

The several Grand Elders from the Nine Great Sacred Lands of the Profound Yellow Realm recognized Xu Qing. Shocked, they quickly flew over to stand by his side.

"Mm."

Xu Qing just gave a faint nod.

"Sect Leader Xu, you must be careful. These powerful Deceit are not weak in strength or Cultivation. They are all experts of the Eighth Realm. Moreover, they possess an Immortal Supreme Treasure given to them by a Forbidden Immortal Life, allowing them to wield a certain degree of Immortal Power."
