Chapter 588 - 427: Breakthrough! Realm 10! To the Unique True Realm! The Bronze Gate

"This..."

"Why have I passed everything, yet I can’t obtain the ’True Realm Soil’?"

However, Chen Wangu couldn’t find an answer.

The reason was that Chen Wangu had been the second person to pass the ninth trial of the Only True Path, which meant he wasn’t qualified to make a choice. Only the very first person to pass the ninth trial had that right and privilege.

Now, Chen Wangu could only step onto the Rainbow Path to enter the Unique True Realm.

’There must be a reason for this.’

Chen Wangu took a deep breath.

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

In the end, with no other option, Chen Wangu could only step onto the ’Rainbow Path’. He was immediately enveloped by it, transforming into a nine-colored radiance, a streak of light that vanished without a trace.

He was on his way to the ’Unique True Realm’.

At this moment, Xu Qing’s breakthrough was reaching its final, critical stage. The seven Level 10 elements and the three Perfect Immortal Dao Fruits had already fused by ninety-nine point nine percent.

Now, only zero point one percent remained.

BUZZ!

Immediately after, a special ripple spread out and swiftly enveloped Xu Qing’s entire body. The seven Level 10 elements and the three Perfect Immortal Dao Fruits transformed into final streaks of light, fusing every last trace of Energy into Xu Qing’s body.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Instantly, an unprecedented transformation began to occur throughout Xu Qing’s entire being. It was a complete metamorphosis of his physical body, his soul, his will—a change at the most fundamental level of his Origin.

Moreover, this transformation was completed in an extremely short amount of time.

"This..."

Xu Qing opened his eyes. With his ascension complete, he looked again at the Only True Path and sensed the Chaos Dao.

At that moment, Xu Qing experienced an entirely new sensation.

This feeling was like an ascension to a higher dimension.

For example, before his breakthrough, he had been like a character in a cartoon or someone merely described and drawn in a book.

Now, his breakthrough was complete. The three Perfect Immortal Dao Fruits had fused, and he had absorbed the seven Level 10 elements. He had completed his metamorphosis, ascended, and experienced a dimensional elevation...

Thus, it was as if Xu Qing had walked right out of the cartoon, stepped out from the pages of the book where he was described and drawn, and arrived directly in reality.

It was a thorough and complete change.

Under these new circumstances.

BUZZ!

Xu Qing waved his hand. The Power within his body had changed, transforming into a completely new kind of Power that suffused his entire being. With it, Xu Qing could alter the entire Sea of Chaos at will.

The situation was akin to Xu Qing holding a brush, able to freely alter a painting.

"Master, you..."

Zuona gazed at Xu Qing. She had witnessed his entire transformation and ascension, and watching it all granted her a sort of enlightenment as well.

However, this enlightenment wasn’t enough to allow Zuona to transform herself.

"Mm," Xu Qing nodded.

Now, in Zuona’s eyes, Xu Qing was completely different. Although his appearance and form hadn’t changed, she felt as if he were a being from an entirely different dimension than her own.

...

With a single thought, Xu Qing closed his eyes. This time, he could finally perceive the existence of the ’Encyclopedia of All Things’ in the truest sense, residing within his mind.

It was just that, in the past, the Encyclopedia of All Things existed on a much higher dimension than Xu Qing, so he couldn’t possibly perceive it directly. He could only know of its existence.

But now, Xu Qing could touch it.

"Encyclopedia of All Things."

BUZZ!

At Xu Qing’s thought, he slowly opened his right hand. An ancient, black book appeared in his mind’s eye.

The cover read: Encyclopedia of All Things.

"Mm." Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, Xu Qing reached out. His fingers touched the Encyclopedia of All Things, feeling its tangible texture, and he was filled with emotion.

He had to admit, as he closed his eyes and recalled everything he had been through—from his rebirth at the very beginning to all the trials along his path—he had finally reached this incredible height.

Then, Xu Qing slowly opened the Encyclopedia of All Things to the first page.

SHHHF!

As expected, the first page of the Encyclopedia of All Things contained the ’Level 10 World of Ten Thousand Races Origin’. Within the Encyclopedia, however, it was merely a moving picture, like a film playing, allowing Xu Qing to look down upon everything in the Level 10 World of Ten Thousand Races Origin.

"Mm." Xu Qing nodded slightly.

Then, he turned to the second page.

On the second page was the Level 10 True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations. This page displayed the image of a Magic Cube, which Xu Qing could take out from it.

Finally, he turned to the third page.

And on this third page, naturally, what appeared before Xu Qing was a blank space, because the third page was where Zuona had been recorded.

And Zuona had already come out from the page.

He turned to the fourth page.

This fourth page was completely empty.

’Encyclopedia of All Things,’ Xu Qing pondered, murmuring to himself, ’It has a total of ten thousand pages, but I’ve only filled three so far. That leaves nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-seven pages.’

’Once all ten thousand pages of the Encyclopedia of All Things are filled, it will reach a state of utter Perfection. And when the Encyclopedia reaches Perfection, something beyond imagination will happen.’

’I don’t know what that will be right now, but for me, continuously using the Encyclopedia of All Things to record items has only benefits and no drawbacks.’

Furthermore.

SHHHF!

With a wave of his right hand over the Encyclopedia of All Things, a series of projections and pop-ups appeared, displaying the Cultivation Techniques and True Techniques Xu Qing had cultivated.

...

[True Sword Technique LV1: 3,932,560,000,000,000 / 1,000,000,000,000 True Points (Upgradeable!) (The strongest Sword Dao in the Sea of Chaos. After fusing with the seven most perfect elements and the three Perfect Immortal Dao Fruits, it has undergone an unprecedented transformation and dimensional ascension.)]

...

True Sword Technique.

This was originally Xu Qing’s Carefree Sword Dao, but it had now undergone a complete transformation and dimensional ascension. Under these circumstances, the Power of the True Sword Technique was a concept beyond imagination.

’The Tenth Realm,’ Xu Qing mused, ’In the Sea of Chaos, fusing the three Immortal Dao Fruits allows one to step into the ’Tenth Realm’, which is why it is called: Eternal Immortality.’

’In fact, since the Sea of Chaos was born, no one has ever appeared in the ’Tenth Realm’. It’s a Realm that exists only in legend. So, is the Tenth Realm truly ’Eternal Immortality’?’

’Perhaps. I’ll only find the answer to that question after I enter the Unique True Realm.’

Additionally, the various True Techniques Xu Qing had mastered had not changed.

However, they were all now upgradeable.

Of course, Xu Qing wasn’t in a hurry to upgrade them. He saved up his True Points instead of using them recklessly.

"Zuona," Xu Qing said, "Come inside."

"Yes, Master." Zuona nodded respectfully.

SHHHF!

The next moment, Zuona transformed into a streak of light and entered the Encyclopedia of All Things. An unparalleled beauty, radiating supreme charm, appeared on the third page.

"Mm." Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Afterward, he put the Encyclopedia of All Things away.

"Unique True Realm," Xu Qing took a deep breath. "Here I come."

BUZZ!

With a single step, Xu Qing vanished from his spot and arrived at the end of the ’Only True Path’. At the end of this path stood an ancient Bronze Gate.

Of course, the Bronze Gate was not open. Flanking it stood two black stone statues, carved in the likeness of two greedy-looking humans.

When the statues saw Xu Qing arrive, they immediately came to life and reached out their hands toward him.

"Hm?" Xu Qing frowned.
