Chapter 607 - 437: Complete Dimensional True Skill, Entering True Perfection

"I understand."

Xu Qing nodded.

"Mm."

Only then did Elder Zhen nod in satisfaction, but he also sized up Xu Qing with great excitement and enthusiasm. "Xu Qing," he asked, "is there anything special about forming one hundred and eight Black Annual Rings?"

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded. He didn’t hide it, instead saying, "I have grasped a special ability. This ability is called the ’True Seal’."

"The True Seal!"

Elder Zhen took a deep breath and asked, "Show it to me."

"Yes," Xu Qing said.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Xu Qing formed a seal with his hands, and a terrifying change immediately occurred. A subtle connection was about to form with the Origin of the Unique True Realm, but Elder Zhen stopped him at once.

"Stop."

Elder Zhen shook his head. "I never would have thought... After completing one hundred and eight Black Annual Rings, you would directly grasp the ’Seal of the Origin of the Unique True Realm’."

"Don’t continue. If you do, you’ll cause a fluctuation in the Origin of the Unique True Realm, and you’ll likely attract the attention of some truly powerful figures."

"At that time, not even I will be able to protect you."

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded and stopped.

"Huuuu..."

Elder Zhen took a deep breath and asked, "So, the reason you sought me out this time is because you’re missing the next True Skill to continue your Cultivation?"

"Yes," Xu Qing said.

"Very well."

BUZZ!

Elder Zhen nodded. He raised his right hand, extended a finger, and lightly tapped Xu Qing on the forehead. The touch was accompanied by an immeasurably vast fluctuation and countless mysteries.

In the blink of an eye, Elder Zhen had already transmitted all the volumes of the ’Dimensional True Skill’ to Xu Qing.

Dimensional True Skill.

The complete work consisted of nine volumes, representing the nine realms of the ’Second Realm: Seeking Truth Realm’. If one could cultivate the Dimensional True Skill to Perfection, they could reach the ’Extreme of the Seeking Truth Realm Nine Heavens’.

"Thank you, Master!"

Xu Qing bowed deeply.

"Xu Qing."

Elder Zhen’s expression grew thoughtful. He said, "You have two choices now. The first is to return to the Langya Branch Tower. When you do, I will have a word with Wan Qianren and have you promoted from an apprentice to a full member of the True Realm Tower."

"The second choice... is to stay by my side."

"This..."

Xu Qing’s expression was hesitant. "Master, I think I’ll stay at the Langya Branch Tower. If I were to follow you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to act freely."

"That’s fine as well."

Elder Zhen nodded. "I do have more important things to do next. It would indeed be more dangerous for you to follow me."

"What more important things?"

Xu Qing asked.

"You are not yet qualified to know. When the time is right, you will naturally find out," Elder Zhen said.

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded.

"Go on."

BUZZ!

With a wave of his right hand, Elder Zhen sent Xu Qing into a daze. Everything around him changed, and by the time Xu Qing came to his senses, he found he had already left Elder Zhen’s Domain.

"Hm?"

Xu Qing looked around and once again saw a familiar figure: Wan Qianren, the Tower Lord of the Langya Branch Tower, who was gazing at Xu Qing with a complicated expression.

"My respects, Tower Lord."

Xu Qing bowed quickly.

"Mm."

Wan Qianren shook his head, then looked Xu Qing up and down a few more times. "Are you really just Elder Zhen’s disciple?"

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded. "Elder Zhen is indeed my master."

"That can’t be right!"

Wan Qianren muttered under his breath.

After all, as far as Wan Qianren was concerned, Xu Qing had dared to deceive Elder Zhen. He’d claimed to accomplish something he clearly hadn’t, all for the sake of contacting Wan Qianren and Elder Zhen.

Given Elder Zhen’s temper, even if he didn’t strike Xu Qing dead with a single palm, he would have at least expelled him from his tutelage.

But in the end, not only did Elder Zhen not kill Xu Qing, he didn’t expel him either. Instead, he had contacted Wan Qianren again and told him to take good care of Xu Qing.

To be honest, when Wan Qianren heard those words from Elder Zhen, he was rather stunned. He even asked Elder Zhen for confirmation, unable to believe it, only to receive a firm affirmation.

And so, Wan Qianren truly suspected that Xu Qing wasn’t Elder Zhen’s disciple, but his ’illegitimate son’. Otherwise, why would he receive such special treatment?

"Forget it."

Wan Qianren shook his head. In any case, the True Realm Tower was a massive organization, as was the Langya Branch Tower. Looking after Xu Qing was a simple and easy matter.

"Xu Qing," Wan Qianren said, "do you have any requests regarding your current position?"

"No."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "My current position is quite good. I even made a deal and completed a mission last time. The reward was nice, and there’s basically nothing to do, which gives me enough time for my Cultivation."

"Fine."

Wan Qianren shrugged and said no more.

After all, with Xu Qing’s current Cultivation and Realm, he couldn’t take on any overly important responsibilities anyway.

"Then head back," Wan Qianren said.

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded.

BUZZ!

The next moment, with a wave of Wan Qianren’s right hand, Xu Qing’s vision blurred again with the sensation of traveling through space and time. When he came to his senses, he was back in Lou Ke Seal’s office.

"Xu... Xu Qing..."

Lou Ke Seal’s face went pale with shock. Xu Qing’s sudden appearance left him stunned. "You... What are you..."

"Lord Lou," Xu Qing said.

"N-No need... for formalities..."

Lou Ke Seal waved his hands. "Team Leader Xu, there’s no need to be so polite. Did you just meet with the Tower Lord?"

"Yes."

Xu Qing smiled.

"Did you get everything sorted out?"
