Chapter 309 - 269: Breakthrough! The 4th Realm: Law Realm
“Nine chimes of the bell.”
“This…”
“Excellent, excellent…”
“I can’t believe it. Under these circumstances, right here in Cangzhou Prefecture, a fellow Daoist has stepped into the ’Fourth Realm: Law Realm’. The Cangzhou Dao Bell sensed it and chimed nine times.”
“This is a joyous occasion for our Cangzhou Prefecture.”
“…”
The crowd broke into a flurry of discussion.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!
「At the same time.」
The Mighty Power of the Cangzhou Dao Bell sent invisible waves rippling through the entirety of Cangzhou Prefecture, forcing many deeply hidden Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits out into the open.
“Kill them!”
“Attack!”
“These Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits must die!”
“…”
And so, the major powers once again dispatched their experts to deal with the exposed Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits, eliminating as many as they could.
Xu Qing had just come out of seclusion when Wang Miao, Kaya, and the others all came forward to congratulate him.
“Congratulations, Master, on your great advancement in Cultivation and for stepping into the ’Fourth Realm’.”
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded slightly.
Next, Xu Qing took out his Level 30 items and weapons, one after another.
Among them were the items and weapons he used most often: the Level 30 Iron Sword, Level 30 Wandering Dragon Sword, Level 30 Copper Coin Sword, Level 30 Thousand-Faced Mask, Level 30 Soft Hedgehog Armor, Level 30 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, Level 30 Wooden Buddha Bell, Level 30 Serenity Dao Bell, Level 30 Academy Ruler, Level 30 Deceitful Copper Gong, Level 30 Beheading Demon Blade, and the Level 30 Damaged Ten Thousand Beasts Drum.
There were twelve items in total.
These were all weapons and equipment that Xu Qing used regularly.
Moreover, these weapons and equipment had all been upgraded from ordinary items and had undergone twenty-nine upgrades and transformations.
Therefore, their power was immense.
Furthermore, since Xu Qing used these weapons and equipment so often, he could wield them with exceptional ease and skill, far more so than any other items in his possession.
In addition, Xu Qing had a few Third Realm weapons and pieces of equipment that had all been raised to Level 10.
For example, the Level 10 Black Dragon Tripod and the Level 10 Law Sword.
’Upgrade them all.’
Without hesitation, he decided. Over the years, whenever Xu Qing wasn’t using these weapons and pieces of equipment, he had Kaya and the others accumulate vast amounts of Experience Points for them around the clock. As the quality of the items increased, a simple act like swinging a sword could generate well over several hundred million Experience Points in a single day. Naturally, over this time, all of his Level 30 items and equipment, as well as the Level 10 Black Dragon Tripod and Level 10 Law Sword, had already maxed out their Experience Points.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
…
Immediately, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things and initiated the upgrades for the items and equipment in his hands. Each one began to flash with a brilliant light.
Moreover, with each successive upgrade, the aura emanating from the items and equipment grew stronger, even becoming entwined with the light and marks of Law.
It could be said that they were undergoing an unprecedented transformation and enhancement.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Iron Sword Level 40: 0/5 Trillion (Originally just an ordinary iron sword, it has undergone thirty-nine upgrades and transformations, bathed in Thunder Tribulation, had Spirit Patterns engraved upon it, awakened its Spirituality, been endowed with Law, and now contains Sword Dao Law, transforming it into a ’Law Sword’.)]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Wandering Dragon Sword Level 40: 0/30 Trillion (Originally a sharp Sword Artifact, it has undergone thirty-nine upgrades and transformations, bathed in Thunder Tribulation, had Spirit Patterns engraved upon it, awakened its Spirituality, been endowed with Law, and now contains Sword Dao Law and True Dragon Power, transforming it into a ’True Dragon Law Sword’.)]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Copper Coin Sword Level 40: 0/50 Trillion (Originally a one-of-a-kind Demon-Slaying Sword, it has undergone thirty-nine upgrades and transformations, bathed in Thunder Tribulation, had Spirit Patterns engraved upon it, awakened its Spirituality, been endowed with Law, and now contains Sword Dao Law, Thunder Law, and Evil Slaying Law, transforming it into an ’Evil-slaying Law Sword’.)]
…
「Half an hour later.」
Xu Qing had finished upgrading all twelve of his weapons and equipment—the Level 30 Iron Sword, Level 30 Wandering Dragon Sword, Level 30 Copper Coin Sword, Level 30 Thousand-Faced Mask, Level 30 Soft Hedgehog Armor, Level 30 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, Level 30 Wooden Buddha Bell, Level 30 Serenity Dao Bell, Level 30 Academy Ruler, Level 30 Deceitful Copper Gong, Level 30 Beheading Demon Blade, and the Level 30 Damaged Ten Thousand Beasts Drum—to Level 40. Every single one was now imbued with the Power of Law and contained terrifying Mighty Power.
“Excellent, excellent.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.
However, Xu Qing discovered that even after reaching Level 40, his weapons and equipment had not yet reached their Extreme limit. They could still be upgraded further, beyond Level 40.
Apparently, the Fourth Realm wasn’t just ten levels. The Body Law Realm had ten levels, the Soul Law Realm had another ten, and finally, the Perfect Law Realm also had ten. This meant the ’Fourth Realm: Law Realm’ had a total of thirty levels.
This meant that Xu Qing’s items and equipment could be upgraded to a maximum of Level 60.
’What a pity,’
Xu Qing shook his head. ’I don’t have enough Experience Points. I can only get these items and equipment to Level 40 for now. I’ll need a lot more Experience Points.’
Still, this was already powerful enough. A Level 40 item was at the peak of the ’Body Law Realm’, equivalent to having condensed a complete ’Law Body’.
「Two days later.」
On that morning, Xu Qing calculated the time. It was now time for Cangba Dao and the others to set up the ’Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array’, so he left his residence.
Additionally, over these past two days, Xu Qing had tried to continue practicing the Dark Demon Technique. Having stepped into the ’Fourth Realm’ and mastered the Dark Law, with the assistance of Wang Miao also releasing Dark Law and the Energy from the Top-grade Law Stone, his speed of practicing and meditating on the Dark Demon Technique had increased tenfold.
At this rate, he could practice it one hundred million times per second. In other words, Xu Qing’s fastest speed for practicing and meditating on the Dark Demon Technique allowed him to perform a full one hundred million repetitions in a single second, gaining a full one hundred million Experience Points.
It was a terrifying rate.
In a single day—twenty-four hours, one thousand four hundred forty minutes, eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds—he could obtain a grand total of 8.67 trillion Experience Points.
Upgrading the Dark Demon Technique from Level 40 to Level 41 required fifty trillion Experience Points. At this rate, he would only need to practice and meditate for about six to seven days to accumulate enough Experience Points to level up.
“Master.”
“My Lord!”
“Master.”
“…”
Outside the residence, Wang Miao, Cloud Ascendant Zhenren, Kaya, and all his other servants were present to welcome Xu Qing. Their tones were utterly respectful as they bowed in greeting.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded.
“Let’s go,” Xu Qing said.
“Yes.”
“As you command.”
“…”
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!!!
With a thought, Xu Qing’s figure shot through the air, transforming into a streak of light. Wang Miao, Cloud Ascendant Zhenren, Kaya, and his other servants followed closely behind him.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing had led his subordinates to the 9th Layer of Cangzhou Prefecture.
Inside the Marquis’s Mansion.
SWOOSH!
Xu Qing and his group descended from the sky.
“Master Ouyazi.”
Young Master Wen Shu came forward to greet them.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded and said, “I have come at the invitation of the Prince. Today is the day the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array is to be set up, so I came especially to observe the ceremony.”
“Master Ouyazi, this way, please.”
Young Master Wen Shu led the way.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing followed him naturally.
「The scene changed.」
Within the Marquis’s Mansion.
Xu Qing arrived in the backyard and found a place to sit. In the very center of the yard stood a total of one hundred and eight towering spires.
Upon closer inspection, each spire was incredibly majestic. The nine in the absolute center were the grandest of all, reaching a height of 9,999 meters.
