I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

"Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang."

Chen Wangu also greeted him with a bow.

"Mm."

The Profound Yellow Elder nodded. "I was able to survive the Chaos Great Tribulation this time, largely thanks to having previously slain two Forbidden Immortal Lives. I used their Immortal Origin, combined with a large amount of precious Immortal Level materials I’ve collected over the years, to forge an Immortal Supreme Treasure, the Profound Yellow Treasure Tower."

"It was with the help of this Immortal Supreme Treasure, the Profound Yellow Treasure Tower, and my accumulation over the years that I managed to survive the Chaos Great Tribulation by the skin of my teeth. I also absorbed a good deal of Hongmeng Purple Qi, which significantly increased my Cultivation. I have now reached the Extreme of Physical Immortality."

"Next."

"I must find a way to comprehend and step into either Immortal Soul or Immortal Will. Only then can I break through to a higher Realm."

"Mm."

"..."

Chen Wangu and Kunlun Daoist Monarch nodded.

As time passed, the three of them spoke for a long while, discussing the Dao with one another. In the process, they all gained considerable insights and understanding from each other.

Of course, during their discussion, they also touched upon the situation in the Profound Yellow Realm.

If what the Dark Celestial Saber said was true—if those terrifying Forbidden Land Lives from the depths of the Nine Great Forbidden Lands truly awakened—then it wouldn’t just be the Profound Yellow Realm. The entire Nine Great Origin Worlds, the whole Sea of Chaos, and all of the All Heavens and Myriad Races would face a crisis of annihilation.

Those terrifying Forbidden Land Lives, for their own sake and to obtain enough Immortal Substance, would not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Sea of Chaos to refine it.

「Meanwhile.」

Back in the Profound Yellow Realm.

As the battle ended and the various phenomena faded, everyone slowly began to relax. When Fairy Purple Mist spread the news, a collective sigh of relief was heard.

"Wonderful!"

"The Forbidden Immortal Life has been repelled."

"Excellent, excellent..."

Everyone was overjoyed.

「Within the Shushan Sacred Land.」

"Haaaah..."

Xu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, clenching his fists. ’Power! I need to increase my Power as quickly as possible!!!’

BZZZT!

Just as Xu Qing was about to step into his Seclusion Chamber again, Chen Wangu appeared before him, hands clasped behind his back, looking down at him.

"Disciple Xu Qing pays his respects to Master."

Xu Qing was startled but reacted quickly, bowing and then kneeling before Chen Wangu.

"Mm."

Chen Wangu looked Xu Qing up and down. He walked over, placed his right hand on Xu Qing’s shoulder, a pleased expression on his face.

"Not bad."

Chen Wangu nodded in satisfaction. "Your Cultivation Realm has already reached the Eighth Heaven of Saint Realm. At this rate, you have a good chance of stepping into the Eighth Realm within the time I’ve allotted."

"This disciple will naturally do his utmost."

Xu Qing said.

"Mm."

Chen Wangu nodded again. "In that case, I will tell you a few things."

"This disciple is all ears."

Xu Qing said.

"Xu Qing."

Chen Wangu began to explain in a calm tone, "The reason I need you to enter the Eighth Realm within a thousand years is because the Only True Path, which leads to the Unique True Realm, will open in a millennium."

"If you cannot break into the Eighth Realm within a thousand years, you will not be qualified to set foot on the Only True Path. And to wait for the Only True Path to open again... who knows how many Eras of Chaos would have to pass."

"That is the real reason I must have you reach the Eighth Realm within a thousand years. Your performance during this period has not disappointed me. You truly have the qualifications and the hope of reaching the Eighth Realm within a millennium."

"Therefore, that is why I am telling you these things now."

"Disciple understands."

Xu Qing nodded. "This disciple will definitely do his utmost."

"Good, good."

A smile appeared on Chen Wangu’s face. With a wave of his right hand, a flash of purple light appeared in his palm, followed by an exquisite, transparent bottle.

And sealed within this bottle was a wisp of purple qi.

"This is?"

Xu Qing’s expression was one of shock. From this wisp of purple qi, he sensed an unparalleled aura, one that even caused a reaction from his Encyclopedia of All Things.

"This is Hongmeng Purple Qi."

Chen Wangu took a deep breath. "This is a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi that I requested from the Profound Yellow Elder. Only Undying Immortal beings, after surviving a Chaos Great Tribulation, are qualified to obtain a small amount of it from the elusive Unique True Realm."

"This time, after the Profound Yellow Elder survived the Chaos Great Tribulation, he absorbed most of the Hongmeng Purple Qi himself, leaving only three wisps."

"Of those, one was bestowed by the Profound Yellow Elder to his only disciple, Fairy Purple Mist, leaving him with two. I requested one of them."

"Of course, the Profound Yellow Elder was only able to survive the Chaos Great Tribulation because he forged the Immortal Supreme Treasure, the Profound Yellow Treasure Tower. And the reason he could forge it was due in no small part to my own contributions. That is why I was able to request this wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi from him."

Chen Wangu explained the full details.

"Now," Chen Wangu continued, "I will now bestow this wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi upon you. When you reach the Extreme of the Seventh Realm and wish to break into the Eighth Realm, you can absorb it. With its help, you can break through and enter the Eighth Realm."

"But, this..."

Xu Qing opened his mouth to speak. "Master, you went to great lengths and called in a huge favor to get this. The Hongmeng Purple Qi is so incredibly precious, how can this disciple possibly accept it?"

"Take it."

But Chen Wangu pressed it into Xu Qing’s hands. "This wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi is not of much use to me. Even if I absorbed it, my strength wouldn’t increase by much. For you, however, its effects are immense."

"This..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He accepted the wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi and kowtowed to Chen Wangu. "Disciple thanks Master for this immense grace."

"Go on, go on."

Chen Wangu waved his hand. "Focus on your Cultivation and strive to enter the Eighth Realm as soon as possible. If you can step onto the Only True Path with me, we, master and disciple, can look out for each other."

"Disciple understands."

Xu Qing said again.

"Mm."

BZZZT!

Chen Wangu gave a slight nod, then turned and left. Xu Qing watched his master’s figure disappear from sight.

"Haaaah..."

Xu Qing took another deep breath, his expression a mixture of excitement and complexity as he gazed at the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand. Finally, he carefully put it away and stepped into the Cultivation Chamber of the Sword One Dojo.

’Encyclopedia of All Things.’

BZZZT!

Xu Qing sat cross-legged. Floating before him were the damaged, Level 16 Time Treasure Tower and the transparent bottle containing the wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

’Record.’

With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. He focused his attention on the Hongmeng Purple Qi, using the Encyclopedia’s power to record it.

RUMBLE!!!

In an instant, the Encyclopedia of All Things erupted with a vast radiance, surging with Hongmeng Purple Light. Countless blurry images appeared before Xu Qing’s eyes and inside his mind.

Within these hazy images, he could faintly make out the origin of the Hongmeng Purple Qi’s birth, and even glimpses of the Unique True Realm.

Unfortunately, the images were too blurry for Xu Qing to see clearly.

Or perhaps, it would be more accurate to say that Xu Qing’s Cultivation and Realm were insufficient; he was not yet qualified to see through these things.
