I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye.

「Seven days later.」

Xu Qing searched everywhere in the cluster of Ancient Ruins, encountering many Deceits and powerful enemies from various races. Whenever he came across Deceits, Xu Qing would attack without hesitation and slay them all.

Of course.

When he encountered powerful experts from other races, combat was sometimes unavoidable. Xu Qing naturally wouldn’t hold back against his enemies, slaying them on the spot.

Additionally.

Xu Qing’s guess had been correct. The materials used to forge the Carefree Sword did indeed come from the ’Unique True Realm,’ and so did the ’True Path Key’.

The auras of the two had indeed formed a connection, resonating with each other.

After seven days.

Xu Qing finally pinpointed the general location of the ’True Path Key.’ He arrived at a towering palace, ancient and filled with the aura of ages past.

Huuuh...

Xu Qing took a deep breath and stepped inside. He entered the palace and, following the connection he felt through his Carefree Sword, ventured deeper.

CRACK! CRACK!

Suddenly.

At that very moment.

Xu Qing’s intrusion triggered the palace’s ancient Array. Countless golden Array Patterns materialized in the surrounding void.

In an instant.

The ancient Array formed an isolated space, like a pitch-black universe. It generated a terrifying Devouring Power that threatened to pull Xu Qing inside.

"Sever!"

CLANG!

With the ring of a sword.

Xu Qing struck decisively. He brandished the Carefree Sword and unleashed a sweeping slash. A terrifying Sword Aura erupted, and countless sword shadows swirled about, wreaking havoc in all directions.

CRACK! CRACK!

One slash.

It took just one slash.

With it, Xu Qing shattered the ancient Array. The isolated space it had formed was torn apart by his Sword Qi, and the Array Patterns imprinted on the surrounding void crumbled, dissipating into countless motes of golden light.

This ancient Array was actually incredibly powerful, but because an immense amount of time had passed, the Array Patterns had decayed, significantly weakening its Mighty Power.

Of course.

Xu Qing’s own Power was also formidable. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have shattered the ancient Array with a single slash.

’This...’

After Xu Qing shattered the ancient Array, a brand-new path appeared as if from thin air. He was stunned for a moment, then started walking down it.

Not long after.

Less than half an hour later.

Xu Qing reached the end of the path. There, he found a solitary room, like a small, dark chamber.

Inside.

Xu Qing saw a purple wooden box resting quietly in the very center of the small, dark chamber. The Carefree Sword in his hand formed a special connection with the object inside the purple box.

’I found it?’

Xu Qing was both surprised and delighted.

"Open!"

Ever cautious.

Xu Qing suppressed his excitement. With a wave of his right hand, he unleashed a slash. A streak of purple Sword Qi shot through the air and shattered the purple wooden box on the floor.

In the blink of an eye.

It was shattered.

However.

No traps or anything of the sort appeared.

Also.

After the purple box shattered, a purple key appeared. The key emitted a faint, fluorescent glow, with countless streams of light flowing around it. Influenced by some mysterious power, it slowly began to levitate.

With just a single glance.

Xu Qing knew.

The purple key before him was the ’True Path Key’.

Xu Qing had found it.

’I actually found it.’

Xu Qing was overjoyed.

Without hesitating.

SWOOSH!

Xu Qing waved his right hand and swiftly took the ’True Path Key’ in his hand. The moment he did, the Encyclopedia of All Things reacted.

[DING!]

[True Points detected. Absorb?]

A prompt appeared.

"Absorb."

Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all.

BZZZT! BZZZT!

Faintly.

A certain aura drained from the ’True Path Key’ and entered the ’Encyclopedia of All Things,’ transforming into ’True Points.’ This was the first time Xu Qing had obtained ’True Points’ since entering the ’Only True Path’.

[DING!]

[Absorption complete!]

[Obtained 120 True Points.]

Another notification appeared.

This time.

Xu Qing had obtained a full 120 True Points. This was twelve times the amount from the ’Carefree Sword,’ from which he had only gained 10 True Points.

"Good, good, good."

An incredibly joyous smile spread across Xu Qing’s face.

The next moment.

His expression, however, became incredibly grave.

"Die!"

BOOM!

In that instant.

Xu Qing heard an utterly cold voice. Looking up, he saw a pillar of pitch-black light, like an interstellar railgun, enveloping the entire palace.

RUMBLE!!!

Heaven and Earth trembled, and space-time shattered.

CRACK! CRACK!

Beneath that pillar of pitch-black light, the entire Ancient Ruins Palace was reduced to rubble. No, not even dust was left behind; it was completely erased.

In the void.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!!!

All around.

Figure after figure tore through the void to arrive. There were three Forbidden Immortal Life forms in total, along with three other Immortal beings from different races.

Of course.

Xu Qing didn’t recognize any of them.

In other words.

There were no familiar faces.

"Hmph, hmph!"

The one who had just attacked was a Forbidden Immortal Life. As the view focused, a figure came into sight, clad in full black armor. It had twelve pairs of black wings sprouting from its back, a pair of dragon horns, and was wreathed in pitch-black flames.

He was the ’Three-Eyed Celestial Venerable,’ the Forbidden Immortal Life from the ’Life Forbidden Land,’ one of the Nine Great Forbidden Lands.
