I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Chixia Peak.

"The Great Tang Envoy Order."

BUZZ!

Xu Qing took out the Great Tang Envoy Order. With a mere thought, he refined it, and the corresponding information flooded into his mind.

First.

As the holder of the Great Tang Envoy Order, if Xu Qing encountered an ’Ancient Text Incident’, it would be as if the Emperor of Great Tang himself were present. All subjects of the Central Tang Dynasty would have to obey Xu Qing’s commands.

Additionally.

Even without encountering an ’Ancient Text Incident’, possessing the ’Great Tang Envoy Order’ made Xu Qing equivalent to a Third-Grade Official of the Central Tang Dynasty.

This status and position were so incredible that even Xu Qing found them hard to believe. He had only just met the new Emperor, Li Ji, for the first time, and he was already being entrusted with such a heavy responsibility.

He truly felt overwhelmed by the favor.

Furthermore.

The Great Tang Envoy Order was also connected to the Great Tang Treasure Vault.

As the name implied.

By completing the corresponding tasks, Xu Qing could earn Great Tang merit points. He could then use these points to exchange for various treasures from the Great Tang Treasure Vault.

Moreover.

He could also convert Stones of Law and other treasures into Great Tang merit points.

Meanwhile.

After Xu Jingtian returned to his Dao Field, he went to see the Sect Leader of Shushan and informed him about everything concerning Xu Qing.

’Master was actually right,’

Xu Qing mused. ’Before I have enough power, I should avoid investigating the ’Ancient Text Incident’. Even if I become powerful enough in the future, whether I investigate or not will depend on the specific situation.’

Thinking of this, Xu Qing put the matter aside and returned to his old routine. He spent his days practicing the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan, consuming at least a hundred Low-grade Law Stones every day.

Time passed in a flash.

The sun and moon turned, spring went and autumn came.

In the blink of an eye, seventy years had gone by.

In those seventy years, many things had happened in the outside world, but Xu Qing had remained on Chixia Peak, practicing the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan. He paid no attention to any of the changes outside.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Suddenly, the Great Tang Envoy Order in Xu Qing’s hand began to stir. This was the first time it had shown any activity in the seventy years since he had received it.

"Hm?"

Confused, Xu Qing took out the Great Tang Envoy Order. A message appeared on it, but its contents left him stunned.

Because...

Li Ji was dead.

"This..."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment. He was quite shocked, but after thinking it over and calculating the time, he realized, ’That’s right. I’ve been on Chixia Peak for seventy years.’

’Li Ji was a mortal. Even though he was the Venerable Emperor, his lifespan was at most a hundred years. It was indeed his time to die of old age.’

This time, as the Great Tang Envoy, Xu Qing was qualified to attend Li Ji’s funeral.

’A funeral.’

Xu Qing took a deep breath and gazed in the direction of the Great Tang Imperial Palace. His conversation with Li Ji felt as vivid as if it had happened only yesterday.

’I suppose I have to go,’ Xu Qing said.

「Seven days later.」

Xu Qing traveled to the Great Tang Imperial Palace, accompanied by his master, Xu Jingtian. Li Ji’s funeral was incredibly grand. The Nine Great Sacred Lands and all the major powers had arrived.

Among these great figures, Xu Qing was a nobody. He didn’t cause any stir and kept an extremely low profile, attracting no attention from anyone or any of the big shots.

「One month later.」

Li Ji’s funeral concluded. Xu Qing personally watched as Li Ji was interred in the Imperial Mausoleum of the Central Tang Dynasty. The Central Tang Dynasty had a long history, spanning tens of thousands of years.

One could only imagine how many emperors were buried within the Imperial Mausoleum of the Central Tang Dynasty.

After the funeral, the new Emperor of the Central Tang Dynasty, Li Haotian, ascended the throne.

Naturally, Xu Qing also participated in the new Emperor Li Haotian’s accession ceremony, which was just as unprecedentedly grand. After the ceremony was complete, Li Haotian’s Emperor Dragon Qi suppressed the entire assembly, forcing everyone present to lower their heads.

It was truly and incomparably powerful.

「Another seven days passed.」

The accession ceremony ended, and Xu Qing returned to Shu Mountain from the Great Tang Imperial Palace. After bidding farewell to his master, Xu Jingtian, he went back to his own Chixia Peak.

"Hooo..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. With a wave of his right hand, he summoned his Level 10 Celestial Law Sword. His expression was calm, unmoved by external affairs. ’Time to continue practicing the sword.’

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!

As Xu Qing brandished his sword, it produced a series of sharp ringing sounds.

...

[Experience +1]

...

[Experience +1]

...

The Experience Points for the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan rose rapidly.

...

Time flew by.

Spring turned to autumn, day turned to night.

Before he knew it, thirty years had passed.

「That morning.」

’It’s about time,’

Xu Qing thought to himself, slowly retracting his sword. His consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things, and a panel of information appeared before him.

...

[Three Thousand Swords of Shushan LV18: 400,000 trillion / 131,072 trillion (Upgradeable!) (...)]

...

"Upgrade."

Xu Qing mused, "Upgrade the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan."

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Immediately, the Encyclopedia of All Things shone with a brilliant light. Countless sword-shadows seemed to appear before Xu Qing’s eyes, a dense and innumerable mass.

BOOM! BOOM!

Xu Qing’s consciousness trembled as if it were being pulled into a mysterious world. Within this world, he continuously practiced and comprehended the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan.

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Three Thousand Swords of Shushan LV19: 268,928 trillion / 262,144 trillion (Upgradeable!) (...)]

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Three Thousand Swords of Shushan LV20: 6,784 trillion / 524,288 trillion (Mastered 2,500 Law Marks, advancing to ’Great Success in Perfect Law Realm’)]

...

Two upgrades.

The Three Thousand Swords of Shushan had been raised to Level 20, allowing Xu Qing to master 2,500 Law Marks and advance his Cultivation to ’Great Success in Perfect Law Realm’.

Next,

he was only five hundred Law Marks away.

With those, Xu Qing could step into ’Perfect Law Realm Perfection’.

"Not bad."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. Sensing his current state, he felt even more pleased. He spent a month to completely familiarize himself with his new power.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

「On this day.」

Xu Qing’s Great Tang Envoy Order stirred once again. This time, it was a summons from Li Haotian, telling Xu Qing to come to the Imperial Palace today.

The reason was simple.

The Central Tang Dynasty had discovered a major Ancient Text Incident occurring in the ’Qing Emperor Realm, one of the Human Realm Three Sword Realms’. It had erupted within a Middle Grade Dynasty.

"This..."

Xu Qing frowned. ’They found me after all,’ he thought.

"Hooo..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath.

In truth,

Xu Qing didn’t really want to go.

The reason was simple.

Xu Qing’s current Cultivation was only at Great Success in Perfect Law Realm, a breakthrough he had just recently achieved. Furthermore, he still had enough Stones of Law and was not lacking cultivation resources at all.

Therefore,

Xu Qing only wanted to stay on Chixia Peak, cultivating every day and accumulating Experience Points. His plan was to wait until all his Stones of Law were depleted and his Cultivation had risen, and only then would he figure out how to obtain more Low-grade Law Stones.

But in the end,

trouble still came knocking.

Now,

Xu Qing had no right to refuse. This was a direct order from His Majesty, the Emperor of the Central Tang Dynasty. If Xu Qing dared to refuse, it would be an act of defiance against an imperial decree.

Defying an imperial decree never ended well.

’What a hassle,’

Xu Qing frowned.

There was no other choice.

「That afternoon.」

Xu Qing left Chixia Peak and hurried to the Great Tang Imperial Palace. He met the Emperor of the Central Tang Dynasty, Li Haotian, in the Imperial Study.

Before him was a middle-aged man with a square-shaped face. Standing beside Li Haotian was the Chief Eunuch, Zhao Gao, whom he had met once before.

"Your subject, Xu Qing, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

Xu Qing arrived and bowed in salute.

"Good, good, good."

Li Haotian looked up with a smile. With a wave of his right hand, a special Jade Scroll flew toward Xu Qing, who reached out and caught it.
