I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 168 - 167: Clone Daoist Soldiers, Extraordinary Extreme
Chapter 168: Chapter 167: Clone Daoist Soldiers, Extraordinary Extreme
Xu Qing gazed at Kaya’s small, fair, jade-like hands, each holding a Level Three True Spirit Talisman. The Daoist Ice Soldier and Daoist Soldier Vajra stood motionless before her, like a pair of statues.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!!!
The sounds rang out.
Kaya slapped the Level Three True Spirit Talismans onto the foreheads of the Daoist Ice Soldier and Daoist Soldier Vajra, only to quickly peel them off a second later.
And so,
she continuously repeated the same mechanical motion.
“…”
At first,
he naturally didn’t feel there was anything wrong with it.
However,
as time went on, watching Kaya endlessly repeat the same mechanical motion started to make her look both dorky and a little simple-minded.
“Er…”
Xu Qing pursed his lips. He silently closed the door, then silently walked away. Out in the courtyard, he raised his head to look toward the Reincarnation Ruins outside the city.
Before he knew it,
three or four days had passed since the Reincarnation Ruins opened. Xu Qing didn’t actually know what the situation was like inside or what had happened.
Because
Xu Qing had never entered the Reincarnation Ruins.
However,
to this day,
Xu Qing still hadn’t seen a single person come out of the Reincarnation Ruins.
’Perhaps those who wanted to come out are all dead.’
It was also possible
that no one wanted to come out yet. They were all desperately pushing their way into the depths of the ruins, hoping to obtain the legacy of the Reincarnation Ruins and find an opportunity to Ascend to Heaven in One Step.
After all,
the previous nine times the Reincarnation Ruins opened, they only lasted for a month. But this time, the tenth and final opening, the ruins would remain open indefinitely.
Until…
the master of the Reincarnation Ruins was resurrected.
「Above the Prefecture City.」
There was a mountain with a Daoist Temple on its peak. Within the temple stood its master, a Daoist wearing a green robe. With his hands clasped behind his back, he gazed out at the Reincarnation Ruins.
As the view drew closer,
this Daoist Master was none other than the Master of the Ruined Pavilion.
At that moment,
the Master of the Ruined Pavilion smiled faintly. With a wave of his right hand, a Dao Talisman appeared. He then folded the talisman, creating a small paper man.
“Infinite Celestial Venerable. By the Profound Yellow of Heaven and Earth, make the True Spirit one. Swiftly, as the law commands!”
HUMMM!
The paper man, folded from the Dao Talisman, hovered in the air before him. The Master of the Ruined Pavilion formed hand seals with both hands and recited the mantra.
SWISH!
Finally,
a drop of blood seeped from the Master of the Ruined Pavilion’s fingertip and merged into the paper man before him. The paper man changed rapidly, all in an instant.
The paper man became a living person.
A Daoist, at that.
Moreover,
his appearance was very similar to that of the Master of the Ruined Pavilion.
“Fellow Daoist.”
The Daoist transformed from the paper man bowed with clasped hands to the Master of the Ruined Pavilion.
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist.”
The Master of the Ruined Pavilion smiled faintly, returned the bow with clasped hands, and said, “I must trouble you to make this journey, Fellow Daoist.”
“Very well!”
The Daoist born from the paper man nodded in agreement.
SWISH!
The moment he finished speaking,
the Paperman Daoist transformed into an Escape Light. Moving incredibly fast, he shot toward the entrance of the Reincarnation Ruins and vanished inside in an instant.
“Infinite Celestial Venerable. Heaven and Earth Borrowing Technique—Mirror Light Technique.”
HUMMM!
The Master of the Ruined Pavilion again formed hand seals, creating a series of Dharma Seals. He recited another mantra, then formed a sword-finger with his right hand and slowly drew a one-meter-diameter circle in the void.
Sure enough,
the circle transformed, becoming like a Void Mirror, and within it, the scene surrounding the Paperman Daoist appeared.
Within the image,
the Paperman Daoist had already entered the Reincarnation Ruins. The surrounding scenery came into view: a wasteland filled with an aura of death and desolation.
“Hm.”
The Master of the Ruined Pavilion’s expression remained unchanged as he watched quietly.
Clearly,
he was like an outsider, simply observing the unfolding situation.
「At the same time.」
「Back in Xu Qing’s courtyard.」
“Hm?”
Xu Qing raised his head. Just now, he had seen another streak of light tear through the sky and enter the Reincarnation Ruins. The direction it came from pointed directly to the Lanke Daoist Temple.
’Lanke Daoist Temple?’
Xu Qing mused, ’Did the Master of the Ruined Pavilion enter the ruins? That seems unlikely. The Master of the Ruined Pavilion already knows what the Reincarnation Ruins are all about, so why would he go in? Or is there some other hidden reason?’
He couldn’t help
but feel his curiosity about the Reincarnation Ruins grow even stronger.
Of course,
Xu Qing had no intention of risking his own skin.
With a thought,
Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things.
Time flew.
「Seven days later.」
“Master.”
Kaya approached. Her face was a little haggard, as she had barely rested for the past seven days, spending basically all her time grinding Experience Points for the Level Three True Spirit Talisman.
For seven consecutive days.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing took the two Level Three True Spirit Talismans from Kaya’s hands. With a thought, his consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things, and the corresponding information appeared in his mind.
…
[Level Three True Spirit Talisman LV1: 520000/1000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
[Level Three True Spirit Talisman LV1: 520000/1000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
In seven days,
a total of 510,000 Experience Points had been obtained. By this calculation, she had ground over 70,000 Experience Points per day.
’Upgrade Level Three True Spirit Talisman,’
Xu Qing commanded.
HUMMM!
Immediately,
the Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with fluorescent light.
Sure enough,
various images and scenes appeared before Xu Qing’s eyes. In the images, the Level Three True Spirit Talisman appeared, only to be reforged from scratch.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Level Three True Spirit Talisman LV2: 519000/2000 (Upgradeable!) (Can store a wisp of consciousness to merge into a Daoist Soldier, and can forcibly raise a Daoist Soldier to the Fourth Level.)]
“Good.”
The corners of Xu Qing’s mouth turned up in a smile. ’Just as I expected. After upgrading the Level Three True Spirit Talisman, its effects have indeed improved.’
’Continue,’
Xu Qing said.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
…
[Level Three True Spirit Talisman LV10: 11000/512000 (Can store a wisp of the user’s consciousness to merge into a Daoist Soldier, refining it into a clone. This allows for shared vision and even remote control of the Clone Daoist Soldier. Furthermore, it can forcibly raise any Daoist Soldier to Tier Sixteen, reaching the Extraordinary Extreme.)]
…
“Good, good, good.”
Xu Qing couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across his face. The effects of the Level Three True Spirit Talisman after being upgraded to Level 10 had somewhat exceeded his expectations.
All he could say was,
it was absolutely perfect.
“Kaya.”
Xu Qing looked up at Kaya and handed her one of the Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talismans. “This Level Three True Spirit Talisman is for you,” he said. “Go ahead and use it.”
“Thank you for your gift, Master.”
Kaya’s expression grew slightly excited.
Afterward,
Kaya respectfully took the Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talisman from Xu Qing’s hand. Feeling the Mighty Power contained within the talisman, she was filled with awe.
After all,
from start to finish,
it had only been a minute.
In Xu Qing’s hands, the Level 1 Level Three True Spirit Talisman had undergone transformation after transformation, becoming a Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talisman.
In Kaya’s eyes, all of this meant that Xu Qing had, in just one short minute, transformed an ordinary Level Three True Spirit Talisman into a top-tier spirit talisman.
Therefore,
Kaya was extremely shocked, and her reverence for Xu Qing deepened. Although her loyalty was already at its maximum due to the Celestial Bridge Pill,
regardless,
this didn’t affect Kaya’s adoration for Xu Qing.
Next,
the Daoist Ice Soldier and Daoist Soldier Vajra walked up to Xu Qing and Kaya.
“Refine!”
HUMMM!
With a thought, Xu Qing formed a sword-finger with his right hand and gently swiped it across his brow, forcing out a drop of Essence Blood that contained a wisp of his consciousness.
The Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talisman hovered before Xu Qing, glowing with a faint fluorescent light. The drop of Essence Blood containing his consciousness slowly merged into it.
“Go.”
Xu Qing pointed with his right hand again, and the Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talisman shot through the air. It transformed into a streak of light and firmly attached itself to the Daoist Soldier Vajra’s brow.
HUMMM! HUMMM!
The Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talisman pulsed with light as it slowly merged into the Daoist Soldier Vajra’s brow. From that spot, countless Dao patterns swiftly manifested, spreading out at high speed.
In the blink of an eye,
the Daoist Soldier Vajra’s Mighty Power began to climb rapidly. One after another, Vajra Dao Arrays manifested within its body. With each new Vajra Dao Array, its power increased by one layer.
In just a short time,
a full nine sets of Vajra Dao Arrays had manifested inside the Daoist Soldier Vajra. They were all interconnected, equivalent to the Nine Realms Realm, and it had grasped the Vajra Realm.
However,
this was not the end.
Because
the energy from the Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talisman had only been partially used. Inside the Daoist Soldier Vajra, the nine sets of Vajra Dao Arrays slowly began to combine and merge.
Soon,
the nine sets of Vajra Dao Arrays combined to form a Third-Grade Lotus. It was also a Dao Lotus, and could be called a Third-Grade Vajra Dao Lotus.
HUMMM! HUMMM!
Vajra True Intent began to emerge.
BOOM!!!
With this,
the Daoist Soldier Vajra’s Mighty Power rose even further, breaking through a limit to reach a higher level, becoming a Tier Eleven Daoist Soldier.
“Good.”
Xu Qing’s expression grew slightly excited.
He knew,
the Daoist Soldier Vajra’s promotion was not over yet.
HUMMM! HUMMM!
Because,
the Third-Grade Vajra Dao Lotus was still changing. It gradually grew a fourth petal, and the moment that fourth petal formed, it advanced to become a Tier Twelve Daoist Soldier.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
In the end,
when the Level 10 Level Three True Spirit Talisman had completely merged with the Daoist Soldier Vajra, it had formed an Eighth-Grade Vajra Dao Lotus. It had reached an extreme, becoming a Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier, equivalent to the Sixth Level of True Realm, and could be called the Extraordinary Extreme.
“Fellow Daoist.”
The Daoist Soldier Vajra opened its eyes. A vibrant, spiritual aura shone within them. It shared the same source as Xu Qing, for it was now his clone. It gave a clasped-hand bow to Xu Qing.
