I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Simply put.

If Xu Qing could successfully record it, he would surely be able to directly comprehend the mysteries of the Sword Stele and obtain the supreme inheritance within it.

But as it stood...

He would have to find another way.

SWOOSH!

At that moment.

Nie Qingyun also flew over. After glancing at Xu Qing, Mo Piaomiao, and the others, he too found an empty spot closest to the Sword Stele and sat down.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Nie Qingyun also began to comprehend the Sword Stele.

With that,

all the empty spots closest to the Sword Stele were now occupied. There was only room for five people, no more. Anyone else who wanted to comprehend the Sword Stele would have to do so from farther away.

Or, they could try to snatch Xu Qing’s and the others’ positions.

Time flew by.

Although Xu Qing’s natural aptitude wasn’t particularly high, he had already reached the Perfect Law Realm Perfection of the Fourth Realm. He had undergone transformation after transformation, improvement after improvement.

Therefore,

Xu Qing’s comprehension ability had also slowly improved a great deal.

Unwittingly,

seven days had already passed.

On this day,

BUZZ!

Xu Qing’s mind trembled. In the unseen depths of his consciousness, he seemed to sense a Supreme Sword contained within the Sword Stele. This sword was like the ultimate expression of the Sword Dao, holding infinite and endless mysteries of the way of the sword.

However,

Xu Qing had only managed to grasp the barest surface of it.

The next moment,

Xu Qing’s mind wavered, and the sensation from just a moment ago vanished. But within his mind, he had indeed perceived a tiny sliver of the Sword Stele’s mysteries.

’Record it!’

With a thought,

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He focused on that sliver of comprehension in his mind, which was like an intangible sword integrating into his thoughts.

Now,

Xu Qing perceived it and established a connection with the Encyclopedia of All Things.

BOOM!

Xu Qing’s mind shook.

...

[Recording Successful!]

[Sword Stele Comprehension Level 1: 0/100 (The Sword Stele of the Shu Mountain Sword Tomb. This was created by the founding ancestor of Shu Mountain, who is buried within. The Sword Stele contains the Sword Dao inheritance of Shu Mountain’s founder, the ’Shushan Daoist’. This is a rhyme of the Sword Dao formed from comprehending a mere sliver of its surface.)]

...

"It actually worked."

Xu Qing was overjoyed. "I really did manage to record it."

"Good, good, good."

With this,

Xu Qing could now figure out a way to grind Experience Points. According to the information in his mind, he just needed to sit in front of the Sword Stele every day and continuously try to perceive and comprehend it. Even if he didn’t fully understand or grasp anything, as long as he made the attempt, he would gain corresponding Experience Points.

...

[Experience +1]

...

[Experience +1]

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye,

a day had passed.

SWISH!

Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things, and the relevant information appeared in his mind.

...

[Sword Stele Comprehension Level 1: 86400/100 (Upgradeable!) (...)]

...

"Upgrade Sword Stele Comprehension," Xu Qing said.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Xu Qing’s consciousness trembled. It was as if his mind had entered a mystical world where he met a mysterious old man and began to learn the sword from him...

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Sword Stele Comprehension Level 10: 35300/51200 (What was originally a mere surface-level sliver of the Sword Stele’s sword rhyme has, after nine upgrades, undergone a transformation, becoming a key that can unlock the Sword Stele’s inheritance.)]

"This..."

A look of delight appeared on Xu Qing’s face.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Just then,

Xu Qing heard the sounds of a battle. He opened his eyes and looked around, only to discover that at some unknown point, more and more Shushan Disciples had found their way here.

Most importantly,

there were only five spots closest to the Sword Stele. Being closer made comprehension easier, so naturally, they all wanted to fight for those five positions.

As a result,

no one dared to challenge or contend with Mo Piaomiao and the other two. This left only Xu Qing and Nie Qingyun as targets. The commotion from the battle just now was from Nie Qingyun fighting someone else.

"Cough, cough..."

Nie Qingyun coughed up blood. He had been at a disadvantage in the recent fight. A single move had decided it; he had lost to a square-faced middle-aged man.

"I was fortunate."

The square-faced middle-aged man clasped his hands in a salute, then sat down in Nie Qingyun’s spot. Under everyone’s gaze, he closed his eyes and began to comprehend the Sword Stele.

"..."

Nie Qingyun noticed Xu Qing’s gaze. He lowered his head slightly, not speaking to Xu Qing, and silently sat down in a spot in the second row.

"Hooo..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He could already feel many eyes on him. ’They’re clearly after my position, too.’

"Fellow Daoist,"

Sure enough,

one of the fair-faced young men could no longer hold back. He walked straight over, saluted Xu Qing by clasping his hands, and said, "If you would please move."

"Get lost!"

BOOM!

Xu Qing’s gaze was indifferent. He let out a cold snort, and with a mere thought, he unleashed the One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones Technique at the Great Success level.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Instantly,

three streams of pure light shot out from the top of Xu Qing’s head, rapidly evolving into three avatars. Each avatar possessed ninety-nine percent of Xu Qing’s strength.

"Supreme Divine Technique! Three Thousand Sword Dao!"

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!

The ringing of swords echoed.

The three avatars struck simultaneously, attacking from three different directions. All of them executed the Three Thousand Sword Dao at the Perfection Level, unleashing an utterly terrifying combat power.

"AHHH!!!"

SPURT! SPURT!

Blood flew through the air.

A wretched scream rang out.

The fair-faced young man couldn’t withstand it at all. If Xu Qing hadn’t held back—since he couldn’t kill a fellow sect member in front of everyone—the young man would have died on the spot.

Even so,

the fair-faced young man was grievously injured.

It was a ghastly sight.

"Hiss..."

"My heavens!"

"The... The One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones Technique..."

"That’s a High-grade Supreme Divine Technique! And from the Mighty Power it just unleashed, that technique has probably reached the Minor Achievement level at the very least, maybe even Great Success."

"How terrifying!"

"Since when did our Shu Mountain’s Outer Sect produce such a terrifying monster?"

"I’ve never heard of him! Never heard of him at all!"

"You have to understand, even many of Shu Mountain’s Inner Sect Disciples can’t necessarily comprehend and master a High-grade Supreme Divine Technique. But he not only mastered it, he even reached Minor Achievement, or possibly Great Success!"

"..."

Everyone was utterly stunned, their gazes toward Xu Qing filled with profound awe.

At this moment,

Mo Piaomiao, Xu Huang Mountain, and Duan Siming also opened their eyes. Their gazes fell upon Xu Qing, filled with curiosity and a hint of reverence.

One must know,

Divine Techniques were difficult to master.

Especially Supreme Divine Techniques.

To successfully cultivate any Supreme Divine Technique required a significant price, unless one’s comprehension ability was so extraordinary that they could master it effortlessly.

With the Mighty Power of the Encyclopedia of All Things, as long as Xu Qing successfully recorded a Supreme Divine Technique, he could comprehend its mysteries. By slowly accumulating Experience Points, he could naturally master it completely, even cultivating it to the Perfection level.

From then on,

with Xu Qing’s display of strength, no one else dared to challenge him for his position. The five spots in the front row closest to the Sword Stele were finally settled.

However,

the second, third, and other rows were still being fiercely contested.

It was just that

none of this had anything to do with Xu Qing anymore.

Because

after Xu Qing raised his Sword Stele Comprehension to Level 10, it had undergone nine upgrades and transformations, resulting in a qualitative change. When Xu Qing looked at the Sword Stele again, his perception of it was completely different.

"This..."

A look of astonishment appeared on Xu Qing’s face. In his eyes, the two words "Sword Stele" engraved on the Sword Stele itself had evolved into a part of the Sword Dao. They were continuously transforming, forming sword-shaped runes and characters, which then turned into 129,600 characters, forming a complete Sword Scripture.
