I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

"S-Senior Brother, you’re right to remind me."

Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, then he nodded. "I only wanted to join in on the excitement. I never thought I’d be besieged by ten Sword Deceits so soon after entering. I almost died here. If Senior Brother hadn’t saved me, I truly would have been in mortal danger."

"Yes, yes."

At that moment, the other young man and the female disciple came to their senses. They introduced themselves; the young man was named Zhuge Longyi, and the female disciple was Long Xiaoyun.

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded. He didn’t concern himself further with them. After collecting his spoils, he prepared to leave.

"Senior Brother."

Just then, Lin Qing called out and handed the three diamond-shaped fragments he was carrying to Xu Qing, saying, "Senior Brother, these are the three fragments I collected."

"In my humble opinion, to find the ’Sword Stele’ now that the Sword Tomb of Shu Mountain is open, it’s probably related to these diamond-shaped fragments. I suspect we need to find enough of them to locate the ’Sword Stele.’"

"I don’t plan to stay any longer, so these fragments are useless to me. As repayment for saving my life, please accept them, Senior Brother. I hope you won’t find them lacking."

"Alright."

Xu Qing glanced at them and didn’t stand on ceremony with Lin Qing, accepting the three diamond-shaped fragments.

"Senior Brother, here are mine too."

Zhuge Longyi also handed his two fragments to Xu Qing.

"Please accept them, Senior Brother."

Long Xiaoyun took out her fragments as well. Surprisingly, she had four, one more than Lin Qing.

"I wish you great martial fortune, Senior Brother!"

Lin Qing clasped his hands in a salute.

OM!

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Qing infused the Power of Laws into his Outer Disciple Identity Token. A white light enveloped him, and in the blink of an eye, he was teleported away.

"Senior Brother, farewell."

...

OM! OM!

Zhuge Longyi and Long Xiaoyun teleported away one after the other.

’Time to continue.’

Xu Qing watched them leave and put away all the diamond-shaped fragments. He had twenty-one in total, and all twenty-one fragments combined on their own.

They had formed the shape of a sword’s tip.

It was about a fifth of the whole.

If he could collect them all, they would form a palm-sized, cyan Magic Sword.

「Time flew by.」

「Three days later.」

Xu Qing wandered through the Sword Tomb of Shu Mountain, roaming aimlessly. He encountered one Sword Deceit, Sword Demon, and Sword Ghost after another.

Xu Qing killed all of these monsters.

However, yesterday, Xu Qing had encountered a Sword Spirit. It had the appearance of a white-haired old man and possessed a sliver of intelligence. From it, Xu Qing obtained a Sword Dao inheritance.

It was a Low Grade Supreme Divine Power Technique, and a Sword Dao Divine Technique at that.

Named: Sword Storage Technique.

As the name implied, this Supreme Divine Technique was all about accumulating Power. By keeping his sword sheathed, he could build its strength. After one year of accumulation, its Mighty Power would double. After two years, it would double again.

And so on.

For every additional year of accumulation, its Mighty Power would double from the previous level.

If he could keep it sheathed for a thousand years... by then, with a single draw of the sword, he could probably slay an immortal as a mere mortal.

’Not bad at all.’

Xu Qing mused. ’And it would have the element of surprise.’

Therefore, Xu Qing planned to master this Supreme Divine Technique. With the Encyclopedia of All Things, it wouldn’t even take many years to cultivate this Supreme Divine Technique to Perfection.

...

[Sword Storage Technique LV1: 0/100,000 Trillion (This is a Low Grade Supreme Divine Power Technique, and it is part of a Perfect Supreme Divine Skill.)]

...

After it was recorded, the corresponding information appeared.

’Oh?’

Xu Qing’s expression held a hint of surprise. ’So it’s actually part of a Perfect Supreme Divine Skill. My One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones Technique is only a High-grade Supreme Divine Technique. Just how much Mighty Power would a Perfect Supreme Divine Skill, something that surpasses the High-grade, possess?’

’Also...’

OM!

With a thought, Xu Qing took out a half-finished Magic Sword. In the past three days, after slaying numerous Sword Demons, Sword Deceits, and Swordmen, he had collected eighty diamond-shaped fragments. He was close to collecting them all and forming a complete Magic Sword.

Xu Qing made a rough calculation.

He was probably still short about twenty fragments.

CLANG!

One day, Xu Qing paused his steps. A streak of Sword Light tore through the air, and a Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword stabbed straight into the ground before him, blocking his path.

"Hm?"

Xu Qing stopped. His gaze lingered on the sword for a moment before shifting to the sky, where a middle-aged man stood in the Void with his hands behind his back, a slightly arrogant look on his face.

"Who are you?"

Xu Qing asked.

"Chen Zong."

The middle-aged man’s tone was calm. He slowly descended from the sky, landing in front of Xu Qing with the tips of his toes lightly touching the hilt of the Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword.

"What do you want?"

Xu Qing asked.

"I’d like to borrow the fragments in your hand."

Chen Zong said calmly.

"I’m not lending them."

Xu Qing replied.

"You will."

Chen Zong smiled faintly.

CLANG!

The sword chimed. Chen Zong formed a Sword Pointing gesture with his fingers and swiped forward. In an instant, the Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword transformed into an incomparably brilliant streak of Sword Light and shot straight toward Xu Qing.

CLANG!

Xu Qing held his sword in his right hand. With a thrust of his Level 10 Celestial Law Sword, he blocked Chen Zong’s Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!

In an instant, countless streams of Sword Qi erupted from around Xu Qing, releasing a terrifying Mighty Power. Their two Sword Daos clashed, making it impossible to determine a victor.

"Supreme Divine Technique! Lifebound Flying Sword!"

CLANG!

Without the slightest hesitation, a glint flashed in Chen Zong’s eyes. He let out a soft cry, performed a Sealing gesture with his hands, formed a Sword Pointing gesture, and the Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword transformed into a Supreme Sword Light, slashing toward Xu Qing.

"Three Thousand Sword Dao!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

Xu Qing snorted coldly. He slashed out with the sword in his right hand, unleashing three thousand Sword Lights. Each Sword Light contained three thousand Laws, and the terrifying Mighty Power that erupted blocked Chen Zong’s Lifebound Flying Sword.

"You..."

Chen Zong was aghast and in disbelief. He cried out in astonishment, "Perfection! You cultivate the Three Thousand Swords of Shushan? And you’ve also reached Perfection in the ’Three Thousand Sword Dao’?!"

"Who... Who are you?! Why have I never seen you in the Outer Sect of Shu Mountain?!"

Shock. Absolute shock.

Evidently, Chen Zong cultivated ’Shushan’s Lifebound Sword Cultivation Method,’ had mastered the ’Supreme Divine Technique: Lifebound Flying Sword,’ and had even tempered his ’Lifebound Flying Sword’ to the Perfection Level.

Such strength was already considered top-tier in the Outer Sect.

Unfortunately for him, Chen Zong had run into Xu Qing, and he had even tried to rob him.

...

Xu Qing didn’t respond to Chen Zong.

"This..."

Chen Zong’s eyes flickered. "Since you’ve also cultivated the Three Thousand Sword Dao to the Perfection Level, let’s just forget it. We can go our separate ways."

"Farewell, farewell."

Chen Zong turned to leave.

"My dear Senior Brother Chen."

Xu Qing said, "Actually, I’m also short a few fragments. A Senior Brother as strong as you must have quite a few. Why not help me out and give me the fragments you’re holding?"

CLANG!

A sword chimed. The Level 10 Celestial Law Sword in Xu Qing’s hand flew through the air, blocking Chen Zong’s path.

"Junior Brother, we’ve both cultivated our Divine Techniques to the Perfection Level. Do you really think you can beat me? Even if you did, you’d be heavily injured. In a place like this, being heavily injured... I’m afraid things wouldn’t go well for you," Chen Zong said gravely.

"That’s not necessarily true."

OM! OM! OM!

The moment his voice fell, Xu Qing took a step forward. With a single thought, he executed the ’High-grade Supreme Divine Technique: One Qi Transforms the Three Pristine Ones Technique.’ Three streams of pure light shot out from the top of his head, evolving into three avatars.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each avatar possessed 99% of the original body’s strength.

!!!

Chen Zong’s pupils contracted.

"Fuck!"

Chen Zong exclaimed.

"Kill!"

CLANG!!!

Xu Qing and his avatars closed in for the kill.

"Don’t fight! Don’t fight!!!"

Chen Zong’s face went pale with fright. He quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Senior Brother! Big Brother! Boss! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

"Take them! Take them! They’re all yours!!!"

Without hesitation, Chen Zong gave all the fragments in his hands to Xu Qing.

SWISH!

Xu Qing reached out and caught the fragments. There were quite a few, at least sixty or seventy of them. But just as Xu Qing caught them...

OM!

The next moment, Chen Zong executed an escape-type Supreme Divine Technique. He transformed into a five-colored Escape Light, used space as his foundation, and fled into the Void, vanishing with incredible speed.

’He’s fast on his feet.’

A glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes, but he didn’t give chase.

OM! OM!

Xu Qing gathered all the fragments in his hand. There were one hundred forty-five in total, but only ninety-nine of the diamond-shaped fragments merged together.

Then, they assembled into a cyan Magic Sword right before Xu Qing’s eyes.

CRACK! CRACK!

As for the remaining forty-six fragments, after the cyan Magic Sword formed, an invisible force was generated that crushed them all, turning them into a sky full of light motes that vanished.

SHOOO!!!

The next moment, after the cyan Magic Sword was formed, as if answering some kind of summons, its tip pointed in a certain direction before it transformed into a streak of cyan Sword Light.

SWISH!

It was incredibly fast, swiftly tearing through the air and flying away.

"Let’s go!"

A glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. Without hesitation, he quickly followed the cyan Magic Sword, crossing the Void and traversing more than half of the Sword Tomb of Shu Mountain.

Finally, Xu Qing saw a massive, majestic palace standing atop a mountain peak. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that this majestic palace was actually a giant mausoleum.

However, this was not a mausoleum for a person, but one that entombed a Magic Sword.

’This...’

Xu Qing observed for a moment, unable to help but wonder, ’Whose sword is this? To think someone would build such a majestic mausoleum just to entomb a Magic Sword.’

’Its origins must be extraordinary.’

OM! OM!

Moreover, the cyan Magic Sword had stopped after flying here. Not long after Xu Qing arrived, another cyan Magic Sword flew over and appeared in the same spot.

As expected.

Someone else had arrived.
