I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Although its mighty power was diminished, he could still use it. If it were anyone else, even an existence at Perfect Law Realm Perfection, they would lose all their power before Ji Ruming and become a true ordinary person.

It was just as Zhou Di had said before.

Decades ago, when the Great Zhou Martial Country was at its peak, Xu Qing wouldn’t have even been qualified to stand before him, because the Emperor Dragon Qi suppressed all arts in the world.

Now, Xu Qing understood that Shu Mountain’s Sword Dao could resist the Emperor Dragon Qi. This was likely the very reason Shu Mountain was one of the Nine Great Sacred Lands.

At the same time, it also spoke to just how formidable Shu Mountain was.

Its foundations were unimaginably deep.

Afterward, Xu Qing and Ji Ruming spoke at length through the night.

The next day.

In the morning.

"Your Majesty, it is time for me to leave."

On the rooftop, Xu Qing rose to his feet. With his hands clasped behind his back, he gazed at the rising sun and said calmly, "I should go report my progress on the mission."

"Mm."

Ji Ruming rose as well. "To be honest, from the very beginning, I felt that you weren’t from this world. It was as if you came here on a specific mission."

"And now, it seems that is indeed the case."

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded.

SHING!

The next moment, with a sharp ring of his sword, Xu Qing took to the air with Sword Flight.

In the blink of an eye, he had vanished beyond the Imperial Palace.

"Just as I thought!"

Ji Ruming’s pupils contracted. "You truly are different. Even when facing the suppression of my Emperor Dragon Qi, you can still wield such an Extraordinary ability."

’After this parting, I fear we will never have the chance to meet again.’

「Outside the Imperial Palace walls.」

HUMMM! HUMMM!

With a thought, Xu Qing took out a token—his Identity Token as a Shushan Outer Disciple—and infused it with his Power of Laws.

As a result, a vast Power of Space-Time descended and enveloped him. Xu Qing’s body transformed into a streak of white light and vanished into thin air.

He had been teleported away.

In a flash, once his senses and vision returned to normal, he found himself back inside the Shushan Task Tower, on the 9th Layer.

Directly ahead, a series of scenes began to play out.

They depicted all of Xu Qing’s actions during his time in the Ice Moon Dynasty.

HUMMM! HUMMM!

Immediately after, lines of text materialized in the air.

[Mission Complete!]

[Evaluation: Excellent!]

[Summary: Shushan Outer Disciple Xu Qing. Cultivation: Soul Law Realm Perfection. Sword Dao Technique: Three Thousand Swords of Shushan. Single-handedly slew numerous mindless Fourth Realm Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits and located the True Destiny Emperor. Mission completed in just under two years.]

[Mission Rewards: One million Low-grade Law Stones, one Shushan Magic Robe.]

"Not bad."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Next, the one million Low-grade Law Stones were deposited into Xu Qing’s Identity Token, which itself was a massive Storage Treasure.

He had netted a full one million Low-grade Law Stones from a single mission. To Xu Qing, this was already a massive fortune.

Furthermore, a mission like this was impossible for an ordinary Outer Disciple to complete. It would require a team of at least nine Outer Disciples.

So on average, each Outer Disciple would only receive a little over one hundred thousand Low-grade Law Stones.

However, Xu Qing was different.

He had mastered the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan, and with his Level 10 Celestial Law Sword, his combat prowess had reached a level where he was unmatched in the Fourth Realm. That was how he managed to complete this mission in just two short years.

Earning him a reward of a full one million Low-grade Law Stones.

In addition, Xu Qing also received a Shushan Magic Robe.

’Time to go.’

HUMMM!

With a thought, Xu Qing departed the Shushan Task Tower and appeared outside. Using Sword Flight, he swiftly returned to Chixia Peak.

In fact, ever since Xu Qing stepped into the Fourth Realm, his daily cultivation involved absorbing energy from Stones of Law, and he no longer had any need for food.

Before, Xu Qing’s cultivation had required Spiritual Food to sustain him, but that was no longer the case.

Only after joining Shu Mountain did Xu Qing finally understand the true nature of Spiritual Food. In essence, Spiritual Food was a special kind of aberration.

Moreover, this particular aberration was man-made.

This special aberration was known as a Flesh Field.

Above Flesh Fields were Spirit Fields.

Above Spirit Fields were Divine Lands.

As for what lay above Divine Lands, Xu Qing did not know.

Flesh Fields were used to cultivate Spiritual Food, while Spirit Fields were used to cultivate all kinds of rare herbs, Spirit Medicines, and natural treasures. These were all precious materials required for refining various Treasure Pills.

In fact, many Outer Disciples within Shu Mountain cultivated Spirit Fields on their personal peaks. The Spirit Field itself was a special type of aberration that absorbed the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Nearly every cultivator’s progress relied on the aid of elixirs.

Except for Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s cultivation required neither Spirit Medicines nor Treasure Pills. He only needed Stones of Law to help him practice the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan, which increased his practice speed and accelerated the rate at which he accumulated Experience Points.

That was all he needed.

And so, throughout all of Shu Mountain, Xu Qing’s Chixia Peak was likely the only one without a Spirit Field.

As for the Divine Lands that ranked above Spirit Fields, they were even more unfathomable.

In fact, Xu Qing had discovered various legends about Divine Lands within Shu Mountain’s records. One rumor claimed that it was possible to cultivate "Gods and Demons" within a Divine Land.

「Chixia Peak.」

Xu Qing had returned.

Aside from the mission rewards of one million Low-grade Law Stones and the Shushan Magic Robe, he had also brought back the corpses of the many mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits he had slain.

These corpses were quite valuable.

’Record.’

Xu Qing took out the Shushan Magic Robe.

Streams of light rippled across the Shushan Magic Robe, revealing a series of marks that glowed with a dazzling brilliance.

HUMMM!

The Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with light.

The next moment, a vision appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. A powerful being stood high above the nine heavens, gathering the Nine Heavens Gang Wind. Using the fierce wind as thread, the being slowly wove an azure robe.

Not only that, but they also engraved Law Marks onto the robe.

...

[Cataloging Successful!]

[Shushan Magic Robe Level 1: 0/1,000,000,000,000 (A Magical Treasure refined by a Shu Mountain Elder. Woven using the Nine Heavens Gang Wind as thread, it increases flight speed, defends against attacks, and contains an innate Array.)]

...

"Not bad."

Xu Qing nodded.

The Shushan Magic Robe was the second Fourth Realm Magical Treasure Xu Qing had obtained at Shu Mountain. It was both a defensive and multi-functional treasure.

The method to gain Experience Points was also very simple.

He would gain Experience Points constantly just by wearing it.

Moreover, if he nourished it with the Power of Laws, he could gain even more Experience Points.

Generally speaking, he could gain one trillion Experience Points in a single day by nourishing it with his Power of Laws.

"Not bad, not bad at all."

Xu Qing grew even more satisfied.

Now that he had enough Low-grade Law Stones, Xu Qing returned to his previous cultivation routine, practicing the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan on Chixia Peak every day.

However, while practicing the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan, Xu Qing also nourished the Shushan Magic Robe with his Power of Laws.

「Three days later.」

Xu Fengyun and his two companions arrived at Chixia Peak. Xu Qing handed over all the corpses of the mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits he had slain in the Ice Moon Dynasty—now the Great Zhou Dynasty—and tasked Xu Fengyun with finding a way to sell them for Low-grade Law Stones.

「One month later.」

Xu Fengyun and the others had sold all the corpses of the mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits that Xu Qing had given them, acquiring a total of 350,000 Low-grade Law Stones.

Of course, Xu Qing paid Xu Fengyun a commission of fifty thousand Low-grade Law Stones, meaning that each of them received over ten thousand Low-grade Law Stones.

"Many thanks, Junior Brother Xu!"

Xu Fengyun and the others thanked him sincerely.

Time flew by.

「Three years later.」

「On this day, at noon.」

"Haaa..."

Xu Qing let out a long breath. ’I’ve finally saved up enough Experience Points,’ he thought. ’I can upgrade again and raise the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan to Level 15.’

Additionally, in over three years, the Shushan Magic Robe had long since maxed out its Experience Points and been upgraded to Level 10.

However, the Shushan Magic Robe was a Fourth Realm item. After being upgraded to Level 10, it could not be upgraded any further. If he tried to continue, a backlash would occur.

...

[Shushan Magic Robe LV10: 400,000,000,000,000 / 510,000,000,000,000 (Originally a Magical Treasure refined by a Shu Mountain Elder, woven using the Nine Heavens Gang Wind as thread. It increases flight speed, defends against attacks, and contains an innate Array. After nine upgrades and nine metamorphoses, it has reached the extreme of the Fourth Realm, even manifesting a trace of the Power of Rules.)]

...

’Upgrade!’

BOOM!

Draped in the Level 10 Shushan Magic Robe, Xu Qing’s aura felt even more powerful. With a thought, his consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things. ’Upgrade the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan!’

The next moment, Xu Qing’s consciousness trembled. The Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with an extremely intense light, and his consciousness felt as if it had been pulled into a mysterious world.

HUMMM! HUMMM!

Within this world, Xu Qing’s consciousness cultivated the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan, comprehending all its various profundities...

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Three Thousand Swords of Shushan LV15: 75,000,000,000,000 / 16,384,000,000,000,000 (You have mastered one thousand Law Marks. Your body and soul have both reached Perfection and undergone full Lawification. By condensing one thousand Law Marks, you have manifested a trace of the Power of Rules, successfully stepped into the ’Perfect Law Realm,’ and derived a Top-grade Great Divine Technique.)]

...

It had now been forty-seven years, not quite forty-eight, since Xu Qing first arrived at Shu Mountain.

Starting over with the Sword Dao Introduction Method, Xu Qing had completely mastered the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan, and his cultivation had taken another great leap forward, allowing him to successfully step into the Perfect Law Realm.
