I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 263 - 236: Reincarnation Law Upgrade! Cultivation Breakthrough! Entering the ’3rd Realm: Pattern Realm
After Cloud Ascendant Zhenren once again departed, overjoyed with his Level 20 Treasure Artifact, Xu Qing was finally left in peace. He continued his Meditation on the Reincarnation Law.
In fact, Xu Qing had previously tried to use Middle-grade Law Stones, but he had discovered that the Law Energy contained within them was far too potent and of a much higher quality.
As a result, because Xu Qing had not yet stepped into the Third Realm, he was unable to draw out and absorb the Law Energy from the Middle-grade Law Stones, rendering them unusable for him at present.
Only by stepping into the Third Realm could he use Middle-grade Law Stones to assist his Cultivation.
Meanwhile, Ye Langtian had already joined the team investigating the unknown Law Stone Ore Vein in the East Cang Mountain Range. He would also look for opportunities to report back to Xu Qing from time to time.
However, the Blood Demon Sect Cangzhou Chapter placed extreme importance on this unknown Law Stone Ore Vein and would not tolerate any mistakes. Even though Ye Langtian had mastered the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique, he didn’t dare contact Xu Qing openly and had to wait for the right opportunity.
For now, even if Xu Qing knew the details about this Law Stone Ore Vein, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly. He simply wasn’t strong enough yet, so all he could do was bide his time and quietly build up his power.
And so, Xu Qing spent nearly all his time and energy each day meditating on the Reincarnation Law and the Profound Mysteries of the Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method.
Before he knew it, the seasons had turned.
Spring gave way to autumn.
The scenery changed with the seasons.
「One year later.」
’A year has passed without me even realizing it.’
On this day, Xu Qing clasped his hands behind his back and sighed, gazing up at the blazing sun. It was summer now. ’And I’ve been in Cangzhou Prefecture for almost two years now.’
BUZZ! BUZZ!
With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things, and a stream of information appeared. Over the past year, he had collected a good number of special items and weapons.
Weapons like the Soul-Locking Arrow, for example.
However, among all the weapons and equipment Xu Qing had collected, very, very few could compare to the Soul-Locking Arrow—only a handful at most.
…
[Reincarnation Law Level 1: 720,400/1,000,000 (…)]
…
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method LV26: 10,300,000,000/20,000,000,000 (…)]
…
’Almost there.’
Xu Qing’s expression was pensive. ’Just one more year,’ he thought, ’and I’ll have saved up enough Experience Points to upgrade both the Reincarnation Law and the Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method.’
“Master!”
SWISH!
Just then, Xu Qing heard a voice call out.
He looked up.
Xu Qing saw Cloud Ascendant Zhenren descending from the sky like a brilliant streak of light. He stopped directly in front of Xu Qing and bowed deeply.
“You’re here.”
Xu Qing’s tone was calm.
“Master.”
Cloud Ascendant Zhenren’s tone was deferential.
“Zhang Feng.”
Xu Qing used Cloud Ascendant Zhenren’s true name. “It’s been a year and a half since you entered my tutelage. In another year and a half, it will have been three years.”
“This disciple’s aptitude is lacking.”
Cloud Ascendant Zhenren lowered his head. “Although I have comprehended the two Spirit Patterned Artifacts you gifted me, Master, I have still not grasped the mysteries of the Artifact Refining Law.”
“Please rest assured, Master. I will certainly comprehend the Artifact Refining Law within the next year and a half and become a true Refiner.”
“Never mind.”
Xu Qing shook his head. With a wave of his right hand, he once again took out a weapon from his Storage Ring. It was a Divine Weapon that Xu Qing had upgraded to Level 20.
One could say the Mighty Power of this Divine Weapon was not far off from that of Xu Qing’s own Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword.
“This…”
Instantly, Cloud Ascendant Zhenren’s gaze was captivated by the sword.
“Take it.”
With a wave of his right hand, Xu Qing sent the Level 20 Divine Weapon into Cloud Ascendant Zhenren’s hands. “Comprehend it well. You only have a year and a half left.”
“Yes!”
Cloud Ascendant Zhenren’s voice was filled with excitement. “With this sword, once I comprehend its mysteries, I will surely be able to break through my final bottleneck!”
“Go,” Xu Qing said.
“This disciple will take his leave.”
SWISH!
Cloud Ascendant Zhenren’s figure shot through the air and vanished.
’Phew… ’
Xu Qing took a deep breath, watching Cloud Ascendant Zhenren depart. He let out a faint sigh of relief. ’Finally sent that old guy on his way.’
’Almost there.’
’I only have one year left to save up enough Experience Points. Then, I’ll master the ’Reincarnation Law,’ advance my Cultivation, and break through to the ’Third Realm.’’
’Then I won’t have to worry anymore.’
’At the same time,’
’I’ll finally have enough strength to try and seize that Law Stone Ore Vein the Blood Demon Sect Cangzhou Chapter discovered. Otherwise, I don’t even have the qualifications to meddle.’
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the seasons turned, and summer arrived once again.
「On this day.」
The sun shone brightly in a cloudless sky.
Noon.
Nine-Ring Lin Yun Street, First Layer, Cangzhou Prefecture.
A Weapon Shop.
Back courtyard.
’Phew…’
Xu Qing slowly exhaled a turbid breath. He opened his eyes, a pleased smile spreading across his face. ’A year has passed, and I’ve finally saved up enough Experience Points to upgrade.’
BUZZ!
With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things.
SWISH! SWISH!
Two pieces of information appeared in his mind.
…
[Reincarnation Law Level 1: 1,070,800/1,000,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method LV26: 20,000,000,000/20,000,000,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
As expected.
They were ready to be upgraded.
’Upgrade.’
With a thought, Xu Qing commanded, ’Upgrade the Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method.’
BUZZ!
A tremor ran through Xu Qing’s consciousness, a low hum that resonated within him. The Encyclopedia of All Things shimmered with light as a vast torrent of information and profound mysteries flooded his mind, which he gradually began to comprehend and understand…
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method LV27: 0/40,000,000,000 (You have touched the threshold of a ’Pattern Technique,’ but have not yet truly evolved it into one.)]
…
It was just as Xu Qing had deduced. The Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method had only advanced from Level 26 to Level 27. It was just a single Level increase, not enough to break through its limits, merely allowing it to touch the threshold of a ’Pattern Technique.’
The Level 27 Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer Secret Method was still several levels away from being a true ’Pattern Technique’.
’Forty billion.’
Xu Qing shook his head. ’That will probably take four or five years to upgrade.’
Next, Xu Qing adjusted his state of being, bringing himself to his absolute peak.
’Upgrade.’
With a thought, his consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. ’Upgrade the ’Reincarnation Law,’’ he commanded.
BOOM!
The moment the command was given, the Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with a powerful radiance. Xu Qing’s vision warped and shifted, as if countless runes were materializing before his eyes.
BUZZ!
The next moment, Xu Qing’s consciousness vibrated, and he was pulled into a mysterious space where he began to comprehend the ’Reincarnation Law’.
At this moment, it was as if Xu Qing were dream-walking through Hell itself, entering its deepest reaches, witnessing the true Six Paths of Reincarnation, and experiencing their boundless majesty.
Gradually, Xu Qing began to touch upon and understand the essence of the Third Realm: Law Realm. This essence was the comprehension of the fundamental laws governing the universe. It was about mastering and using these laws, converting them into one’s own power—a power known as the Power of Law.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Thus, Xu Qing was in the process of comprehending and understanding a law of the universe: the Reincarnation Law. Once comprehended and understood, the next step was to master it.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Reincarnation Law Level 2: 70,800/2,000,000 (You have comprehended the Reincarnation Law and entered the first layer of the Reincarnation Law, ’Hell Dao.’ You can now use the ’Divine Skill: Hell Reincarnation.’ You have mastered ten percent of the Reincarnation Law and grasped the ’Power of Hell Reincarnation Law.’)]
…
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Between heaven and earth, following Xu Qing’s breakthrough, a formless, intangible Power of Reincarnation Law surged into his body, beginning to transform his flesh and soul.
Thus, the One Hundred and Eight Types of True Intent within Xu Qing’s body began to metamorphose. His One Hundred and Eight Six-layered True Intentions acted like an unshakable foundation, welcoming the Energy of the Law.
As a result, True Intent and Law merged, producing a far more terrifying and formidable power: the Power of Law. It spread throughout Xu Qing’s body, transforming his entire being.
Of course, upgrading the Reincarnation Law from Level 1 to Level 2 had taken no time at all; the increase in the Reincarnation Law’s Level was instantaneous.
However, a breakthrough in one’s Cultivation and Realm was not an instantaneous event. It was a metamorphosis, a sublimation—a monumental transformation that occurred from the inside out and the outside in.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Xu Qing’s entire body trembled, and a booming sound echoed in all directions.
Unbidden, as the Law of the Hell Dao of Reincarnation emerged, images began to manifest around Xu Qing: figures of Black and White Impermanence, Ox Head and Horse Face, and Judge Yama.
Clearly, the Hell Reincarnation that Xu Qing manifested through his Cultivation was completely different from the one cultivated by Li Shang.
The ’Reincarnation Law’ is, in itself, an external manifestation of the universe’s operational laws, presented to all living beings in the form of ’Law Text’.
But the final form the ’Reincarnation Law’ takes after Cultivation depends primarily on the Cultivator. It is like a mathematical formula. The formula itself is constant, but how one applies it to solve a difficult problem—and whether one can solve it at all—ultimately comes down to the individual and their personal Talent.
In other words, Xu Qing’s understanding of ’Reincarnation’ was different from Li Shang’s. That’s why the images of Black and White Impermanence, Ox Head and Horse Face, and Judge Yama manifested around him.
Hypothetically, if Xu Qing cultivated to the very end, if he could completely comprehend and master the Reincarnation Law, and even push past the limits of Law itself to grasp the Reincarnation Law, he could even rebuild the ’Underworld’.
Take, for instance, the ’Fengdu Mysterious City’ established by the Fengdu Deceitful King.
The principle is the same.
