I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Xu Qing had already left, but the people of Moon River Prefecture City were suffering in silence. The city-wide lockdown was a huge inconvenience for them. Some even used the situation to profit, obstruct others, and deliberately target people, leading to many commoners being wrongly accused and thrown in jail.

It could be said that

while the Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City was alive, the city’s commoners received no benefits from him and never enjoyed his protection. In fact, they still had to pay tributes and taxes to the Court and the Prefecture Magistrate’s Office every year.

Now,

the Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City had died mysteriously, and once again, it was the common people who suffered. The checkpoints at the city gates were no obstacle for the rich and powerful. They came and went as they pleased, as if the “entry only, no exit” rule simply didn’t exist for them.

Therefore,

the rules set by the Prefecture Magistrate’s Office only applied to the common folk. The powerful didn’t give them a second thought; after all, they were the ones who had made the rules in the first place.

「Half an hour later.」

Xu Qing led his fifteen subordinates, all of them using Level 20 masks. They used the masks’ abilities to disguise themselves, transforming into a group of ordinary merchants.

In the end,

Xu Qing simply bribed the soldiers guarding the gate. They asked a few token questions before letting him and his group pass.

Inside the city,

on the streets and in the alleys,

The overall atmosphere was tense, with one Patrol Team after another cautiously making their rounds. Xu Qing’s expression was calm. After entering the city, he avoided the patrols and, a dozen or so minutes later, arrived at Tianqi Street, returning to the courtyard where he was staying.

“I’m back.”

A smile touched Xu Qing’s face. He had already taken off his mask, returning to his original appearance, as had his fifteen subordinates.

“Guard the courtyard. Don’t let anyone in, and don’t let anyone disturb me,” Xu Qing ordered.

“Yes.”

“As you command.”

“Rest assured, Master. We will guard the courtyard well.”

…

“Mm.”

Xu Qing nodded. He turned, walked into the bedroom, and sat down cross-legged. With a thought, he began to circulate the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method.

HUM! HUM! HUM!!!

The next moment,

surging Demonic Qi erupted from Xu Qing’s body. The Demon Infant in his Dantian pulsed with a powerful aura, and one after another, True Intent Auras appeared behind its head.

Among them,

the most dominant was the ’Sixfold Devouring True Intent Aura’.

Around the Demon Infant,

Xu Qing could feel all sorts of auras. This was because the previous night, he had devoured the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect, the Palace Master of the Deceitful Palace, and the Apostle from the Blood Demon Sect Branch, who was suspected to be the Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City.

In addition,

Xu Qing had also devoured numerous members from these four major powers. During the incident last night, even the weakest among them had grasped a ’First Level True Intent’.

As a result,

by using the Devouring Demon Technique in concert with his ’Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth’, the Mighty Power of both combined allowed him to absorb their Origin, increase his Cultivation, and master many different True Intents.

Many of the True Intents he absorbed were duplicates.

Even so,

now,

setting aside the Martial Arts Realm from his Baji Celestial Roc Fist, as well as the Sky Peng Realm and six types of Sword Intent from his Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique, Xu Qing now possessed a total of eighty-one types of True Intent.

’I’ve actually mastered eighty-one types of True Intent now.’ Xu Qing carefully assessed his condition, a look of shocked disbelief on his face. ’Among them, there are thirty-one First Level True Intents, twenty Second Level True Intents, ten Third Level True Intents, ten Fourth Level True Intents, seven Fifth Level True Intents, and three Sixth Level True Intents.’

’The Sixth Level True Intents include: Sixth Level Devouring True Intent, Sixth Level Frenzy True Intent, and Sixth Level of Ten Thousand Forms True Intent.’

In truth,

although Xu Qing had improved significantly the night before—reaching the Sixth Transformation of Demon Infant Realm, bringing his ’Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method’ to Perfection, and pushing his Demon Path Cultivation to the ’Extraordinary Extreme’—

however,

the rapid advancement was only achieved by relying on the mighty power of his Divine Power, ’Devouring Heaven and Earth,’ to devour and absorb Origin. This had left his foundation unstable.

Therefore,

Xu Qing needed to consolidate his Cultivation.

With a thought,

Xu Qing’s consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things, and the relevant information appeared.

…

[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV24: 0/5,000,000,000 (By borrowing the power of the incomplete ’Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth,’ you have devoured the Origin of numerous Beasts, Demons, and Deceits, bringing the Demon Technique to Perfection. You have mastered the ’Eightfold Devouring True Intent’ and reached the ’Sixth Transformation of Demon Infant Realm.’ The incomplete ’Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth’ has reached Minor Achievement, and ’Divine Power: Annihilation’ has reached Minor Achievement.)]

…

The Encyclopedia of All Things presented the corresponding information in Xu Qing’s mind.

First,

the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method had indeed changed, but its Level was still LV24. That hadn’t changed at all. Even though he had cultivated it to Perfection, it remained at LV24.

However,

the Experience Points required had changed.

Previously,

upgrading the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method from LV24 to LV25 required 4,194,304,000 Experience Points.

Now,

that number had jumped directly from 4,194,304,000 to five billion. It would take a full five billion Experience Points to level up the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method.

Furthermore,

leveling it up wouldn’t result in a breakthrough in his Cultivation and Realm. Instead, it would improve the related abilities: ’Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth (Incomplete)’ and ’Divine Power: Annihilation’.

’Divine Techniques.’ Xu Qing mused. ’This is a power one can only grasp after stepping into the ’Third Realm.’ The power involved has already surpassed the Mental Realm and True Intent, reaching the level of Patterns and Laws.’

’Also,’

’the mastery of a Divine Technique is divided into Initial Entry, Minor Achievement, Great Success, and Perfection. The higher the level of mastery, the greater the Mighty Power it can unleash.’

’And,’

’the Mighty Power of Divine Techniques is immense, especially Slaughter Divine Techniques. Even an Ordinary Extraordinary Extreme who has only mastered a single True Intent could defeat and kill an Elite Extraordinary Extreme if they managed to master a powerful Slaughter Divine Technique.’

’If…’

’one could master a powerful Slaughter Divine Technique to the ’Perfection’ level, then even an Ordinary Extraordinary Extreme with only one True Intent could contend with an ’Ultimate Extraordinary Extreme’ who has mastered all one hundred and eight types of True Intent.’

Clearly,

during the great battle the previous night,

although Xu Qing’s Cultivation was only at the First Transformation Demon Infant Realm, he possessed numerous Level 20 items and tools. These formed a twelve-layered Invisible Realm that enhanced his own power while suppressing his powerful enemies.

On top of that,

Xu Qing had also mastered two Divine Techniques. Although they were only at the ’Initial Entry’ level at the time, using them in combination was enough to overwhelm and kill the Apostle from the Blood Demon Sect Branch and the others.

It could be said that,

as of yesterday,

unless he faced an Elite Extraordinary Extreme who had also mastered a Divine Technique, no one could have been Xu Qing’s match. His strength was already formidable.

Now,

Xu Qing’s Demon Path Cultivation had reached the Sixth Transformation of Demon Infant Realm. Combined with his mastery of eighty-one types of True Intent—even though only three of them had reached the Sixth Level—his power was already comparable to that of an Elite Extraordinary Extreme.

Moreover,

the two Divine Techniques Xu Qing had mastered had also reached Minor Achievement.

With this,

Xu Qing was now strong enough to fight against a Great Success Extraordinary Extreme.

Next,

Xu Qing took out the greatest prize from his recent battle: the ’Inheritance Stone Plate Fragments’. There was one from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, two from the Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch, one from the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect, and one from the Deceitful Palace.

A total of five Inheritance Stone Plate Fragments.

There were only nine fragments in total, and Xu Qing now had five of them. He took out all five.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!!!

With a wave of his right hand, Xu Qing sent five streaks of light flying out. They hovered in the air, drawn to one another and radiating a brilliant glow.

“Hooo…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He gazed at the five Inheritance Stone Plate Fragments. Each one was covered with lines and runes, filled with a sense of Profound Mysteries.

They contained mysterious Patterns and Laws.

CRACK! CRACK!

The next moment,

the five Inheritance Stone Plate Fragments attracted each other as if they were magnetic. They reassembled themselves into half of an Inheritance Stone Tablet.

Upon closer inspection,

the Profound Mysteries on the half-tablet were even deeper and more abstruse. A single glance was enough to feel oneself sinking into it, unable to pull away.

“Good, good, good.”

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. He focused on sensing and comprehending it, and in the unseen depths, he could indeed feel a kind of inheritance and mystery contained within.

However,

this was only half an Inheritance Stone Tablet, not the complete one. It was still missing four fragments. According to Xu Qing’s speculation,

the remaining four Inheritance Stone Plate Fragments were in the hands of Little Leiyin Temple, Jixia Academy, the Ninefold Immortal Sect, and the Dragon Elephant Sect.

“Record.”

HUM!

With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. His gaze fell upon the half-tablet before him, and the Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with an intense, pale gold light.

At the same time,

a pale gold light flashed across the half-tablet and vanished.

…

[Record Successful!]

[Reincarnation Law Method (Incomplete) LV1: 0/1,000,000 (The ’Inheritance Stone Tablet’ from the Reincarnation Ruins. This ’Inheritance Stone Tablet’ completely records the method for the ’Reincarnation Law,’ but because you only have half of it, the ’Law Method’ is incomplete, making it difficult to comprehend and cultivate.)]

…

HUM! HUM! HUM!!!

Xu Qing had already entered a state of enlightenment. The moment the Encyclopedia of All Things successfully recorded the half-tablet, a sudden wave of understanding washed over him, as if the knowledge was poured directly into his mind. He had comprehended the Reincarnation Law Method recorded on the half-tablet.

“Haaa…”

Xu Qing exhaled slowly. He opened his eyes. His left eye had turned pure black, and his right eye had turned pure white.

From his entire body,

an aura of the Reincarnation Law emanated from him.
