I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 192 - 183: Ye Family Village 2
Chapter 192: Chapter 183: Ye Family Village 2
He could sense it, yet he couldn’t see or touch it.
It was like they existed in two parallel spaces.
“Huuu…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath. He frowned, faintly sensing the true terror of the Mysterious: Deserted Village. ’It’s the endless loneliness.’
Mysterious: Deserted Village.
Inside this place.
There were no terrifying horrors, no terrifying monsters—only one hundred and eight stone houses. The houses were empty, devoid of any living beings.
Beyond that…
…there was only solitude.
Furthermore,
the surroundings never changed. It was like being locked in a small, dark room—a completely sealed environment.
If it were…
…only for a short time, it would be bearable.
But…
…as the time spent trapped here dragged on, starvation wasn’t the primary concern. After all, once one’s Cultivation reached the Extraordinary realm, they could absorb the Energy of the heavens and earth, allowing them to achieve a state of Fasting.
Of course,
Extraordinary Martial Artists were different. To maintain their condition, they had to consume Spiritual Food daily, and other methods had their own distinct limitations.
Regardless,
in such an environment and predicament…
…there were only two possible outcomes.
It wasn’t death by starvation.
It was being trapped until one’s mind collapsed.
Finally,
just as a person’s spirit was about to break, the Mysterious: Deserted Village would assimilate and absorb them, turning the creature on the verge of mental collapse into a part of itself.
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
After a moment of contemplation,
a thought crossed Xu Qing’s mind. He took out the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong. Having reached Level 20, the Deceitful Copper Gong was now extraordinary, possessing all sorts of incredible Mighty Power that Xu Qing had discovered on his own.
Without hesitation,
Xu Qing acted. Since he was already here, he certainly wasn’t going to sit back and wait for death. He had come fully prepared, bringing all his items with him.
RUMBLE!!!
As Xu Qing struck the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong, invisible ripples spread out from him, carried by the sound waves.
Instantly,
his Demonic Qi was concealed. A powerful, mysterious fluctuation emerged, forming a terrifying Mysterious Realm. The surrounding space distorted and warped like a canvas.
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
And so,
Xu Qing continued to strike the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong. The strange sound waves surged, and the powerful Mysterious Realm expanded, beginning to affect the Deserted Village.
Faintly,
Xu Qing could make out the blurry figure of Ye Langtian.
It was as if the previously parallel spaces were being affected by the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong and had begun to intersect, causing these changes and allowing him to vaguely see Ye Langtian’s form.
VMM!
Soon,
a stronger wave of power surged forth, smoothing out the changes created by the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong. The surrounding fluctuations returned to normal within a short time.
“Hm?”
Xu Qing frowned.
“Ahem…”
The sound of coughing reached his ears.
Turning his head,
Xu Qing saw an old man with white hair at the end of the village. He had no idea when the man had appeared. Leaning on a cane, he was walking toward Xu Qing.
Moreover,
it was the appearance of this white-haired old man that had just neutralized the effects of the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong.
“Young man.”
The white-haired old man’s tone was gentle but also ancient. “This is not a place you should have come to.”
“Sir, you are?”
Xu Qing asked.
“Me?”
The white-haired old man pondered for a moment. “I am the head of Ye Family Village. Young man, you should leave quickly. Leave this place and do not enter again.”
“So you’re the village head, sir.”
Xu Qing continued, “But sir, how am I supposed to leave? I’ve already tried many times and can’t find a way out at all.”
“Follow this path straight ahead, and you can leave.”
THUMP!
The old man tapped his cane lightly on the ground. Looking in the direction he pointed, Xu Qing was surprised to see a narrow path.
Furthermore,
Xu Qing had a faint feeling that this narrow path could indeed lead out of the Mysterious: Deserted Village, which was somewhat unexpected.
“Huuu…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath.
Clearly,
his use of the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong had indeed had a significant impact on the Mysterious: Deserted Village. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be ’showing him the door’ in this manner.
“Thank you for your guidance, sir.”
Xu Qing smiled, but his tone shifted. “However, this junior came here to find someone. Once I find them, I will take them and leave immediately.”
“Young man, who are you looking for?”
the old man asked.
“Ye Langtian.”
Xu Qing said.
“…”
The old man’s brows furrowed.
“You cannot take that person.”
The old man shook his head.
“Why not?”
Xu Qing asked.
“Young man, if you don’t leave now, this path will disappear.”
VMM!
However,
the old man didn’t answer Xu Qing. He changed the subject and began to subtly threaten him. A gray-black mist suddenly started to creep back over the village path that had just appeared.
At the rate the mist was spreading,
it would only take a few minutes…
…for the path to be completely shrouded by the gray-black mist again.
By then,
the path out of the Deserted Village would be gone.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Xu Qing shook his head, a smile on his face. “As long as I find the person I’m looking for, we can just leave together then.”
“As the saying goes,”
“’There was no road in this world. As more people walked it, a road was made.’”
“Wouldn’t you agree, sir?”
“Young man.”
The old man shook his head, his gaze turning grim. His tone was no longer friendly, but now carried a hint of cold killing intent and pressure. “By doing this, you are only walking yourself to a dead end.”
“I won’t.”
Xu Qing shook his head.
“Fine.”
The old man said in a low voice, “I hope you won’t regret this.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
the old man prepared to leave.
VMM!
The next moment,
Xu Qing attacked without hesitation. Powerful Demonic Qi surged as he unleashed the Devouring Demon Technique, followed by the Devouring Technique. A vortex like a black hole appeared in his palm.
“Die!”
Xu Qing’s right hand shot out toward the old man before him.
“What?!”
BOOM!
An explosion erupted.
An invisible barrier appeared in front of the old man. The barrier was incredibly thin, almost impossible to see.
However,
Xu Qing felt an immense resilience from it. He couldn’t break through at all. Even the Devouring Technique was useless against the invisible barrier; it couldn’t be devoured and destroyed.
“Impossible!!!”
The old man let out a shriek, as if he had just witnessed the most shocking thing in the world. “Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!!”
“What’s impossible?”
Xu Qing retracted his hand, his expression growing serious.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!!!
Without the slightest hesitation,
a thought flashed through his mind.
The Level 20 Iron Sword, Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword, Level 20 Copper Coin Sword, Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, Level 20 Wooden Buddha Bell, Level 20 Serenity Dao Bell, Level 20 Academy Ruler, Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong, and Level 20 Beheading Demon Blade.
A total of nine Level 20 items.
He brought them all out.
Then,
all of these items awakened their potent Spirituality, unleashing an immensely powerful Mighty Power. They hovered around Xu Qing, emitting an incredibly terrifying pressure.
“How can you possibly know the Devouring Demon Technique as well?”
The old man couldn’t help but ask in a shriek.
“Is the Devouring Demon Technique that hard to master?”
Xu Qing shrugged.
“No! No! No!!!”
The old man kept shaking his head. “In this world, only one person can master the Devouring Demon Technique! Only one! Once someone has mastered it, no one else can possibly learn it.”
“Ye Langtian has already mastered it, so how could you possibly have mastered it?”
“Impossible!”
“Impossible!!!”
“…”
VMM! VMM!
As he spoke,
the old man’s figure began to blur, gradually turning from illusion to nothing, until he completely vanished from Xu Qing’s sight.
Around him,
after the old man disappeared, Xu Qing noticed the surroundings rapidly darkening. In just a few short seconds, what was daytime had turned into night.
Moreover,
candlelight appeared inside the stone houses.
Most importantly,
Xu Qing saw Ye Langtian.
“Master!”
Ye Langtian noticed Xu Qing as well. A look of excitement and agitation appeared on his face as he quickly ran over. “This subordinate is so glad to see you alive!”
