I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 186 - 179: Academy Ruler, Deceitful Copper Gong, Beheading Demon Blade
Chapter 186: Chapter 179: Academy Ruler, Deceitful Copper Gong, Beheading Demon Blade
BZZZT!
This time,
Demonic Qi surged around Xu Qing. He looked as if he had completely transformed into a terrifying Great Demon, poised to plague the world and unleash endless slaughter in the very next moment.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method Level 14: 376,000/4,096,000 (You have mastered the Five-layered Devouring Demon Intent.)]
…
“Hooo…”
Before long,
Xu Qing had completely mastered the Five-layered Devouring Demon Intent. The Demon Pill within him had also entered the ’Fifth Transformation Demon Pill Realm,’ and his Demonic Qi grew even denser.
BZZ! BZZ!
Soon,
Xu Qing suppressed the Demonic Qi and Demon Nature within him. The Demonic Qi around his body vanished, and he returned to normal. Looking at him, no one would ever suspect he cultivated a Demon Technique.
“Fifth Realm of Five Realms.”
Xu Qing mused, his tone calm. “I am currently a Magic and Martial Dual Cultivator. I’ve mastered the Sky Peng Realm, Five Sword Intents, and Devouring Demon Intent, all of which have reached the Fifth Realm.”
’However,’
’my Martial Arts Realm and Life-taking Sword Intent are still only at the First Realm, and they haven’t even reached Perfection at that. There’s just been too little time. For now, I can only focus on cultivating the Celestial Roc Technique, the Celestial Sword Technique, and the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method.’
’Of course,’
’the Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique are about to reach Level 10. When that happens, I can find a way to merge my Martial Arts, integrating the Martial Arts Baji Fist into the Celestial Roc Technique.’
’And the Life-taking Thirteen Swords can also be merged into the Celestial Sword Technique.’
The scene changed.
In a secret chamber within the Moon River Mansion.
BZZZZ!!
Demonic Qi swirled.
Zooming in,
one could see a middle-aged man in a black robe. His hands were clasped behind his back, and his eyes glinted as he gazed up at two stone tablets hanging on the wall.
If any top-tier experts from other factions were present, they would recognize at a glance that the two stone tablets on the wall were actually Fragments of the Inheritance Stone Plate.
Most importantly,
there were two of them.
One must understand,
each of the Nine Great Forces in Moon River Prefecture City had obtained a single Fragment of the Inheritance Stone Plate. Logically, it should have been impossible for anyone to possess two fragments.
However,
the middle-aged man in the black robe before them had two Fragments of the Inheritance Stone Plate.
Furthermore,
if Ye Langtian had been there, he would have noticed something: one of those two Fragments of the Inheritance Stone Plate was one he had seen before. And the one he had seen was, of course, the Fragment of the Inheritance Stone Plate that the Blood Demon Sect Branch had obtained.
As for the other piece,
its specific origin was unknown.
For the Fragment of the Inheritance Stone Plate from the Blood Demon Sect Branch to appear in a secret underground chamber in the Moon River Mansion—that was the truly shocking part.
“Hahaha…”
The middle-aged man in the black robe let out a few laughs. “The Inheritance Stone Tablet shattered into nine pieces. I now possess two of them, giving me a distinct advantage.”
“This time,”
“I will surely comprehend its mysteries, glimpse the secrets of the ’Third Realm,’ and step into the ’Third Realm’ to become the true number one in Moon River Prefecture City.”
“When that time comes,”
“all of Moon River Prefecture City will fall into my hands.”
“As for the ’Dragon Child’…”
“KHEH KHEH KHEH…”
The middle-aged man in the black robe cackled sinisterly. “At that time, I will blood-sacrifice the entire Prefecture City and forge the ’Blood Demon True Body.’ Then, I too will be qualified to become a ’Dragon Child’!”
“So what if it is the Demon Path?”
“One can still establish a Demon Country on it.”
In truth,
Xu Qing also had his own designs on the inheritance from the Reincarnation Ruins. If he could obtain it and record it accordingly,
then,
Xu Qing would surely be able to step into the ’Third Realm’ in a much shorter time.
’If I really do step into the Third Realm,’
’then,’
’many of my problems and dangers will be easily resolved.’
Back then,
on the final level of the Reincarnation Ruins, Xu Qing had controlled the Vajra Daoist Soldiers and used the Mighty Power of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish to suppress the Reincarnation Heart Demon and the Power of the Master of the Ruins.
Unfortunately,
the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish was ultimately not quite enough. It sustained significant damage, rendering it unable to continue.
As a result, Xu Qing had no choice but to leave the Reincarnation Ruins first.
In fact,
if Xu Qing hadn’t been influenced by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, his own temperament and judgment would have dictated a different course of action. He never would have left then, never would have retreated under those circumstances. He would have given it his all, uniting all the factions and experts present. He would have fought even if it meant the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish was completely destroyed, the Vajra Daoist Soldiers and Ice Daoist Soldiers were utterly wrecked, and he had to throw in the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword.
Xu Qing would have undoubtedly used every trick up his sleeve and joined forces with all the experts to utterly annihilate the Master of the Ruins, Li Shang. He would never have allowed Li Shang to successfully revive.
However,
due to the influence of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, Xu Qing’s thoughts had been skewed, leading to a mistake. Something that should not have happened, happened.
Now,
it was useless to keep complaining. Since the event had already occurred, he had to find a way to resolve it and deal with what should not have happened.
’First,’
’I must increase my strength and deepen my foundations as much as possible in the shortest amount of time, and raise my cultivation to the ’Extraordinary Extreme’ as quickly as I can.’
’Second,’
’I need to find a way to seize the Fragments of the Inheritance Stone Plate from the major factions of Moon River Prefecture City. I must gather all nine fragments to assemble the complete inheritance.’
’Third,’
’after obtaining the complete inheritance, I’ll use the power of the Encyclopedia of All Things to record it, and then step into the ’Third Realm’.
’Once that happens,’
’as long as I step into the ’Third Realm,’
’all my problems will be solved.’
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
In the courtyard,
Xu Qing continued to practice the Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique. As his cultivation rose to the Fifth Realm of Five Realms, the speed at which he practiced them increased even further.
Five seconds.
It only took five seconds.
Xu Qing could practice one complete cycle of the Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique.
“Good.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. “At this rate, I can practice them 720 times in an hour, which means 5,760 times in eight hours.”
“In other words,”
“I can now gain 5,760 Experience Points every day.”
Furthermore,
after mastering the Five-layered Devouring Demon Intent, Xu Qing’s speed of Meditation and circulating the Devouring Demon Technique doubled again. During his eight hours of cultivation at night, he could meditate and circulate the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method 120,000 times. This meant he could gain 120,000 Experience Points for the technique in a single night.
In reality,
Xu Qing was still not quite satisfied with this speed.
First,
after the Celestial Sword Technique and Celestial Roc Technique reached Level 9, they required 256,000 Experience Points to level up. Even gaining 5,760 Experience Points per day, it would still take a full 45 days to upgrade.
The Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method was the same.
After reaching Level 14, it required a staggering 4,096,000 Experience Points. He could gain 120,000 Experience Points each night.
That would still take about 35 days.
’Still too slow.’
Xu Qing shook his head. ’Right now, I have no idea how long it will take for the Master of the Ruins, Li Shang, to recover to his peak state. Therefore, I can only do my best to increase my strength as quickly as possible.’
’Besides,’
’trying to seize the Fragments of the Inheritance Stone Plate from the Nine Great Forces of Moon River Prefecture City won’t be easy. If I really do that, I might end up making an enemy of the entire Moon River Prefecture City.’
’So I have to find a way to outsmart them.’
’Of course,’
’if I really can’t get the Fragments of the Inheritance Stone Plate, I can still continuously upgrade my True Intent with the power of the Encyclopedia of All Things. I’ll naturally be able to step into the ’Third Realm’ eventually, it will just take much more time.’
Time flew by.
「Three days later.」
「Late at night.」
Outside the courtyard.
In a deserted alley.
Xu Qing met with Ye Langtian once again.
“Master.”
Ye Langtian bowed to Xu Qing before taking three items from his robes: a ruler, a pair of copper gongs, and a demon blade.
Among them,
the ruler was one Ye Langtian had obtained from Jixia Academy. It was used to discipline and teach the students of the Academy Palace. Ye Langtian had gone to great lengths to acquire it.
The pair of colorful copper gongs were acquired after Ye Langtian sent members of the Blood Demon Sect Branch to infiltrate the ’Deceitful Palace’ eighty-one times before they finally managed to steal them.
The copper gongs were only used when the ’Deceitful Palace’ performed certain rituals, and they were saturated with an extremely dense aura of the Deceitful Path.
Finally,
the demon blade was the easiest to obtain. It came from the Blood Demon Sect Branch. The blade was named the Beheading Demon Blade. Whenever someone in the Blood Demon Sect Branch committed a grave error and was sentenced to death,
this Beheading Demon Blade would be used to execute them.
“The Academy Ruler, the Deceitful Copper Gong, and the Beheading Demon Blade.”
Ye Langtian introduced them to Xu Qing. “These are the items you required, Master. This subordinate exhausted every means, spending nearly three months to finally obtain them all.”
“Good, good, good.”
Xu Qing took the three items, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. “Ye Langtian, you’ve done an excellent job. You haven’t disappointed me.”
“It is my honor to be able to share your burdens, my lord.”
Ye Langtian said, clasping his hands.
“Did you take the Level 20 Celestial Bridge Pill?”
Xu Qing asked.
“This subordinate has already taken it.”
Ye Langtian said.
“And what were the results?”
Xu Qing asked again.
“My Martial Arts Cultivation has reached the First Level True Realm, and I have grasped ’Martial Dao True Intent.’ However, my Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method has not progressed much. It is still only at the Triple Realm.”
Ye Langtian replied.
“Hmm.”
Xu Qing nodded, a little surprised. “You’ve grasped Martial Dao True Intent?”
“Yes.”
Ye Langtian answered.
’Tsk tsk…’
Xu Qing clicked his tongue inwardly, feeling a bit emotional.
After all,
when Xu Qing was in the First Realm, he had cultivated so many different Martial Arts and used the power of the Encyclopedia of All Things to merge and create the ’Martial Arts Baji Fist’ just to grasp the ’Martial Arts Realm.’
Yet,
Ye Langtian had merely consumed a single Level 20 Celestial Bridge Pill and had already grasped ’Martial Dao True Intent.’
’Indeed,’
’there’s a world of difference between people.’
However,
the more of a prodigy Ye Langtian was, the more satisfied Xu Qing felt. It was a greater benefit to him, because Ye Langtian was already subdued and under his control.
