I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 154 - 153: Level 20 Copper Coin Sword, Human Skin Fiend
Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Level 20 Copper Coin Sword, Human Skin Fiend
At the same time the Celestial Roc Technique finished upgrading, Xu Qing mastered the Third Realm of Heavenly Peng. His body immediately began to transform, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy surged into him.
HUMMM! HUMMM! HUMMM!!!
The Three Realms circulated throughout Xu Qing’s entire body, causing his physical form to metamorphose. His Martial Arts True Qi grew even stronger, and the intensity of his aura clearly rose a level.
“Hooo…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath and opened his eyes. The breakthrough was complete. He had now stepped into the ’Triple Realm’. In Moon River Prefecture City, this Realm was enough to be considered a true minor expert.
For example,
Gu Chensha, who was invited by Yin Shanhe, the Garrison Envoy of Qingfeng Town, was the Vice Gang Leader of the Cyan Dragon Gang. Yet Gu Chensha’s Cultivation Realm was merely at the Peak of the First Realm.
The current Gang Leader of the Cyan Dragon Gang was only at the Triple Realm of the Martial Path.
’Continue.’
Xu Qing’s expression flickered. His consciousness once again connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. ’Upgrade the Celestial Sword Technique.’
HUMMM!
The same scene replayed itself.
This time,
five swords appeared behind Xu Qing. Each sword contained a different Sword Intent. The Five Sword Intents broke through the extreme limit of the Peak of the Second Realm and stepped into the Three Realms.
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Celestial Sword Technique LV5: 0/16,000 (Mastered Five Sword Intents—Deceitful Sword, Human Sword, Divine Sword, Earth Sword, and Celestial Sword. All five Sword Intents have reached the Three Realms.)]
“Good.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. After upgrading the Celestial Sword Technique, his power had increased even further. Although his Cultivation and Realm were still only at the Triple Realm, his actual combat strength had improved immensely.
’Upgrade the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method.’
Xu Qing instructed.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV8: 23,800/64,000 (…)]
…
HUMMM! HUMMM!
Demon Intent surged around Xu Qing as Demonic Qi roiled, making him seem as if he had transformed into a terrifying Demon. His Devouring Demon Intent also reached the Peak of the Second Realm.
“Hooo…”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.
「The scene changed.」
「In the courtyard.」
After raising the Level of his three Main Cultivation Techniques, Xu Qing continued to practice the Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique. Furthermore, as his Cultivation rose to the ’Triple Realm’, his practice speed for both techniques doubled again.
In other words,
it originally took Xu Qing three minutes to perform a complete run-through of the Celestial Roc Technique or the Celestial Sword Technique. Now, he only needed a minute and a half—ninety seconds.
However,
this was not Xu Qing’s limit.
DOK! DOK!
In the courtyard,
Yan Gu was striking the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish. The rhythmic sound of the Wooden Fish echoed throughout the yard, blanketing the entire courtyard but not extending beyond its walls, as if it were confined within.
Then,
Xu Qing entered a wondrous state. His mind became clear and completely focused. Under the influence of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, his practice speed for the Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique unexpectedly doubled once more.
Therefore,
Xu Qing now only needed forty-five seconds to complete one run-through of either the Celestial Roc Technique or the Celestial Sword Technique. His practice speed had increased severalfold.
There was another matter.
Back when Xu Qing was at the Peak of the First Realm, he only needed to eat one piece of Level 5 Spiritual Food per day. After his Cultivation broke through to the Second Realm, one jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food was no longer enough; he needed two jin, one in the morning and one at night.
Over a month ago,
after Xu Qing had raised his Celestial Roc Technique and Celestial Sword Technique to Level 4 and his Cultivation reached the Peak of the Second Realm of the Martial Path, he needed to eat three jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food a day—one each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Now,
Xu Qing had broken through to the Triple Realm. His Celestial Roc Technique and Celestial Sword Technique were at Level 5, and his Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method had reached Level 8.
As a result,
Xu Qing’s daily requirements had increased. He now needed to consume two jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which meant he was eating a total of six jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food a day.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
Xu Qing circulated his True Qi and took out a jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food from his Level 10 Broken Storage Ring. He tossed it into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it.
The taste of the Spiritual Food was truly exquisite. Being Level 5 Spiritual Food, its texture and all other aspects were utterly Perfect.
’Actually, I’m not the only one who needs Spiritual Food to replenish Energy and stamina every day. Kaya and Yan Gu also need some special, high-energy food.’
Xu Qing pondered, ’Although Kaya cultivates the Demon Path and Yan Gu has crossed from Martial Deceit to become a Deceit Cultivator, they can absorb certain special energies from the world to sustain themselves. Compared to the Martial Path, they don’t have as great a need to ingest high-energy food.’
’But,’
’they still need to consume some. Plus, they have both mastered the Fourth Realm, so they also need to eat about one jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food per day.’
’In that case,’
’over the past few months, we’ve gone through two hundred and forty jin of the Level 5 Spiritual Food I had Kaya buy last time. There are seven hundred and sixty jin left.’
’Right now,’
’our daily consumption of Level 5 Spiritual Food is about eight jin. At this rate, we can last for another ninety-odd days. But as my Cultivation rises and my strength increases, my consumption of Spiritual Food will only grow.’
「Evening.」
“Master.”
Kaya placed the Level 18 Copper Coin Sword into Xu Qing’s hands.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded. He took the Level 18 Copper Coin Sword from Kaya’s hands. After over a month of swinging it, combined with the boost from the Clear Heart Wooden Fish, the Level 18 Copper Coin Sword had accumulated enough Experience Points.
[Copper Coin Sword LV18: 42,000,000/13,107,200 (Upgradeable!)]
’Upgrade the Copper Coin Sword.’
Xu Qing instructed.
HUMMM!
The Level 18 Copper Coin Sword in Xu Qing’s hand flashed with light, and the Encyclopedia of All Things also shimmered. Scene after scene appeared before his eyes.
In the scenes,
great Celestial Masters and Spiritual Artisans worked together, forging the Copper Coin Sword and Engraving it with Spirit Patterns to enhance it.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Copper Coin Sword LV19: 28,892,800/26,214,400 (Upgradeable!) (…)]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Copper Coin Sword LV20: 2,678,400/52,428,800 (Engraved with ten Spirit Patterns, providing a 10x enhancement. Can form the Evil-breaking Sword Realm and the Thunder Sword Realm.)]
…
CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
The Level 20 Copper Coin Sword flew into Xu Qing’s hand. Streaks of lightning and glimmers of evil-breaking spiritual light flowed along its blade.
“Good.”
Holding the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword, Xu Qing could already feel a powerful Mighty Power coursing through it. Just by holding the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword, his own strength was enhanced tenfold.
Very strong.
Extremely strong.
Next,
Xu Qing, of course, did not leave the courtyard. He continued to practice his Martial Arts there, increasing his Experience Points and raising his strength. Meanwhile, various events were unfolding in the outside world.
First,
because many factions had arrived in Moon River Prefecture City, including True Disciples from the Dragon Elephant Sect and other powers, with the influx of more and more people, conflicts and battles inevitably broke out, which in turn affected many common citizens.
Also,
as matters within the city grew more numerous, the Prefecture Magistrate’s Office had to focus most of its energy on maintaining order. This led to a neglect of defenses against threats from outside the city.
As a result,
many evil spirits and anomalies managed to sneak into the city, leading to the deaths of numerous citizens. In the area where Xu Qing lived, several of his neighbors had been killed by these evil spirits.
For instance,
a week ago,
about seven or eight houses away, there was the residence of a wealthy merchant. This merchant was in the meat business and lived in a three-courtyard home.
One could say
that this merchant was quite well-known on Tianqi Street.
But
one night, a week ago,
overnight,
the merchant’s entire family died mysteriously. Not a single living soul was left in the three-courtyard home—not the main family, not the servants, not even the pets they kept in the yard.
All of them were dead.
Their deaths were horrifying.
They had all been skinned alive.
Of course,
this was just one incident. Besides Tianqi Street, other streets also saw various cases of people being killed by evil spirits and other bizarre entities.
’What a troubled time,’
Xu Qing shook his head.
「Late at night.」
HUMMM! HUMMM! HUMMM!
On this particular night,
Xu Qing sat cross-legged on his bed with his eyes closed, circulating and meditating on the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method. Now that he had entered the Triple Realm, and with the enhancement from the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish,
his speed
of circulating and meditating on the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method had tripled. It now only took him ten seconds to meditate and circulate it once.
At this rate,
eight hours of Meditation and circulation at night was enough to grant the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method 5,760 Experience Points. This was a substantial increase.
DOK! DOK! DOK!!!
Yan Gu was striking the Clear Heart Wooden Fish. A strange radiance from his Mental Realm flowed around him. Influenced by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, he had also unexpectedly entered a state of Cultivation.
In another bedroom,
HUMMM! HUMMM!
similarly,
Kaya had her eyes closed and had also entered a state of Cultivation. Kaya was a Half-Demon with Fox Demon blood, and she cultivated a Demon Path Technique.
However,
the Demon Path Technique Kaya cultivated was one she had obtained from Wu Dao Ming. It was only the first half, so the highest she could cultivate was to the Sixth Transformation Demon Pill Realm, mastering the Sixth Realm of the Mental Realm.
When the time comes,
Kaya would have to find a higher-level Demon Path Technique.
Yan Gu was different.
Yan Gu’s Cultivation and strength relied on the Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill and the Level 10 Transcendence Pill, so he couldn’t raise his Cultivation through normal training.
“Hm?”
Xu Qing’s eyes snapped open. He sensed an Evil Spirit stepping into his courtyard. The instant the Evil Spirit entered,
DOK! DOK! DOK!
the sound of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish rang out, creating invisible ripples that seemed to form an unseen prison, trapping the Evil Spirit.
’There’s a disturbance.’
Xu Qing got up and went outside. He glanced at Yan Gu, who was striking the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, then pushed open the door. He saw the Evil Spirit in the courtyard, seemingly frozen in mid-air.
!!!
Xu Qing’s pupils contracted slightly.
Because
what greeted his eyes was a gigantic face made from a collage of countless human skins. Its diameter was so large that it covered the entire sky above the courtyard.
