I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 198 - 188: Breakthrough! 7th-level Mental Realm
Chapter 198: Chapter 188: Breakthrough! 7th-level Mental Realm
“Youngsters.”
Just as he expected.
Xu Qing heard the familiar voice and looked up in its direction. Sure enough, the old village elder, leaning on his cane, had appeared.
“Congratulations.”
The old man wore a smile on his face.
“Old man.”
Ye Langtian strode over and demanded in a low voice, “Didn’t you say there would be a reward for passing the trial? Where’s my reward?”
“Your reward? Haven’t you already taken it?”
The village elder said, beaming.
“What do you mean?”
Ye Langtian was taken aback.
“The source of the frenzy, and the Frenzied Battle Halberd.”
The village elder said.
“Bullshit.”
Ye Langtian snapped, “I clearly got those through my own efforts! How is it that coming from your mouth, they’ve suddenly become my reward? Old man, have you no sense of reason?”
“Ahem…”
The village elder gave a light cough. “Young man, there’s a problem with your thinking. I’m a Deceit. Are you trying to reason with a Deceit?”
“So young, and already your brain isn’t working right.”
“How pitiful.”
“You…”
Ye Langtian’s eyes widened, his expression filled with indignation.
“Elder.”
Xu Qing, however, cupped his hands in a salute to the village elder and asked, “Excuse me, how can we leave this place?”
“Leaving already?”
The village elder chuckled, tapped his cane on the ground, and pointed in a certain direction. “Look, isn’t there a path out right there?”
“This…”
Sure enough.
Looking in the direction the village elder was pointing, they did indeed see a path that hadn’t been there before.
“Thank you, Elder.”
Xu Qing saluted with cupped hands.
“Let’s go,”
Xu Qing said.
“Yes.”
“As you command.”
“Let’s go.”
The Vajra Daoist Soldier, the Ice Daoist Soldier, and Ye Langtian followed behind Xu Qing, slowly walking forward along the small village path.
’I never thought I would encounter something so incredible today.’
The old village elder gazed at Xu Qing’s back, murmuring softly, ’Just what is your origin? What is your identity? I truly cannot fathom it at all!’
「Half an hour later.」
Xu Qing and his group passed through a layer of grayish-black mist that obscured their vision. When they came to their senses, they found they had already left the “Mysterious: Deserted Village.”
’It’s gone.’
Xu Qing looked back, but he could no longer see the “Mysterious: Deserted Village.” It was as if it had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind—only an endless, desolate wilderness.
“This…”
Ye Langtian was slightly stunned.
“Let’s go,” Xu Qing said. “Time to head back.”
“Yes,”
Ye Langtian replied.
After that, Xu Qing and Ye Langtian parted ways. Ye Langtian returned to the Blood Demon Sect Branch. He had been gone for a long time, and rumors of his death had already begun to spread within the branch.
However, Liu Ying had suppressed all these rumors.
Meanwhile, Liu Ying had also dispatched many of her subordinates to search for news of Ye Langtian.
「An hour later.」
Xu Qing returned to the Xicheng District of Moon River Prefecture City and to his own courtyard residence. Of course, before entering the city, Xu Qing had removed his disguise, altering his appearance and aura. He couldn’t possibly enter Moon River Prefecture City with the appearance and aura of a Great Demon.
If Xu Qing had dared to appear as ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’, he would have been stopped on the spot, and the experts of Xicheng District would have swiftly converged on him.
At that point, another great battle would have erupted.
“Master.”
“Master, you’ve returned.”
“Welcome home, Master.”
“…”
Inside the courtyard, upon Xu Qing’s return, Wu Yi, Wu Er, Wu San, and Kaya all came out at the same time, their tones exceptionally respectful.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded and asked, “How long was I gone this time?”
“Reporting to Master, you have been gone for two months,”
Kaya said.
“Two months? That long.”
Xu Qing looked somewhat surprised.
Apparently, Xu Qing hadn’t expected to have spent nearly two months in the “Mysterious: Deserted Village.” Fortunately, Ye Langtian had been rescued, and he himself had mastered the Frenzied Battle Intent of the Sixth Layer Perfection.
“Hmm.”
Xu Qing pondered for a moment, then asked, “Has anything major happened in Moon River Prefecture City in the past two months?”
“No.”
Kaya shook her head and said, “All the major factions in Moon River Prefecture City have been at peace with each other. Nothing major has happened. In fact, the lives of the common people are even better than before.”
“Alright.”
Xu Qing nodded. “I understand.”
「The scene changed.」
In the courtyard.
SWOOSH!
With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. A stream of information flashed through his mind as the details of his three Main Cultivation Techniques appeared.
…
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist LV
…
[Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique LV
…
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV
…
’I can upgrade them now.’
A look of delight appeared on Xu Qing’s face. ’In the “Mysterious: Deserted Village,” I was almost constantly fighting the beast tides. I fought countless battles, and every time, the Cultivation Techniques I used were naturally the Baji Celestial Roc Fist, the Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique, and the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method.’
’That means every battle and every use was increasing my Experience Points.’
’Upgrade!’
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
The Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with a fairly intense, fluorescent light.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist LV11: 0/2,000,000 (Mastered the Sixth Layer Perfection of the Martial Arts Realm and the Sky Peng Realm.)]
…

…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV17: 0/32,768,000 (Mastered the Sixth Layer Perfection of the Devouring Demon Intent, mastered the ’Devouring Technique’.)]
…
WHOOSH…
Xu Qing opened his eyes. He felt his own state; his Cultivation and Realm had risen again. He had gone from the Initial Entry stage of the Sixth Mental Realm to the Peak of the Sixth Mental Realm.
’Not bad, not bad at all.’
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.
He carefully comprehended and felt the increase in his strength.
「Seventy days later.」
On this morning, with a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. ’I’ve saved up enough Experience Points again. I can upgrade again,’ he mused.
…
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist LV11: 2,016,000/2,000,000 (Mastered the Sixth Layer Perfection of the Martial Arts Realm and the Sky Peng Realm.)]
…
[Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique LV11: 2,160,000/2,000,000 (Mastered the Sixth Layer Perfection of the Life-taking, Deceitful Sword, Human Sword, Divine Sword, Earth Sword, and Celestial Sword Intents, for a total of six Sword Intents.)]
…
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV17: 42,000,000/32,768,000 (Mastered the Sixth Layer Perfection of the Devouring Demon Intent, mastered the ’Devouring Technique Second Layer’.)]
…
’Upgrade all!’
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
With a thought, the Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with an intense fluorescent light. A tremor ran through Xu Qing’s consciousness, as if he were being pulled into a mystical space.
Then, within this mystical space, Xu Qing continuously practiced his Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques, comprehending their profundities and perceiving their various mysteries as his Cultivation gradually rose.
Soon, Xu Qing’s Cultivation broke through once again.
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist LV12: 16,000/4,000,000 (Mastered the Seventh Layer of the Martial Arts Realm and the Sky Peng Realm.)]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique LV12: 16,000/4,000,000 (Mastered the Seventh Layer of the Life-taking, Deceitful Sword, Human Sword, Divine Sword, Earth Sword, and Celestial Sword Intents, for a total of six Sword Intents.)]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV18: 9,232,000/65,536,000 (Mastered the Seventh Layer of the Devouring Demon Intent, mastered the ’Devouring Technique Second Layer’.)]
…
BOOM!!!
A tremor ran through Xu Qing’s entire body. The intensity of his aura broke through an extreme, surpassed its limits, and stepped into the Initial Entry stage of the Seventh Mental Realm.
His power soared.
WHOOSH…
Time passed.
「An hour later.」
Xu Qing had fully adapted to the power from his breakthrough.
’The Seventh Mental Realm.’
Xu Qing carefully savored the strength he gained from the breakthrough, a slight smile appearing on his face. ’Without realizing it, I’ve already stepped into the Seventh Mental Realm.’
’At the same time, with the increase in the Devouring Demon Technique’s Level, my Demon Path Cultivation has also reached the ’Seventh Transformation Demon Pill Realm’. I’ve mastered the Seventh Layer of Devouring Demon Intent, and the ’Devouring Technique’ has advanced even further.’
’Also…’
BOOM!
Xu Qing’s body trembled as his blood energy burned. A frenzied mist of light and blood energy formed around him, rapidly enveloping his entire body as his aura surged.
His Frenzied Battle Intent broke through!
It reached the level of ’Seventh Layer Perfection’.
’So that’s how it is.’
Xu Qing took a deep breath, a satisfied smile on his face as he mused, ’Back in the “Mysterious: Deserted Village,” my Frenzied Battle Intent stalled after reaching Sixth Layer Perfection. However, I kept using the Devouring Technique on the corpses from the beast tide. That Frenzied Battle Intent didn’t just disappear; it accumulated inside my body. Now that my Devouring Demon Technique has broken through to the Seventh Transformation Demon Pill Realm, all that accumulated Frenzied Battle Intent has finally been fused.’
’Excellent, excellent.’
Xu Qing grew even more satisfied.
However, the Frenzied Battle Intent that Xu Qing had accumulated in the “Mysterious: Deserted Village” was now completely absorbed and fused. Reaching ’Seventh Layer Perfection’ was its limit.
Of course, this was already an excellent result.
Additionally, with his breakthrough to the Seventh Mental Realm, the speed at which he could practice the Baji Celestial Roc Fist and the Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique had doubled. He could now complete two practice runs in a single second, gaining two Experience Points.
Not only that, but when Xu Qing used Meditation and circulated the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method at night, he discovered that the speed had also doubled.
Over the course of eight hours at night, he could now meditate on and circulate the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method a staggering one million two hundred thousand times.
Such speed was truly incredible.
Furthermore, Xu Qing now had to eat four catties of Level 6 Spiritual Food every day to replenish his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, just to meet the demands of his non-stop Martial Arts practice and Demon Technique Meditation.
Of course, Xu Qing’s Cultivation didn’t require rare Secret Medicines or precious Elixirs; he only needed enough Spiritual Food. Compared to the resources others consumed, this was an astonishingly small amount.
