Chapter 616: Level 30 True Sword Technique, Reaching 30,000 White Annual Rings

Chapter 616: Chapter 441: Level 30 True Sword Technique, Reaching 30,000 White Annual Rings

One, two, three…

Gradually.

As time went on.

Xu Qing slowly refined the Golden Mushroom Fruit, condensing one Annual Ring after another.

In the end.

After Xu Qing had completely absorbed and refined the Golden Mushroom Fruit, he had only managed to condense nine Annual Rings.

With that.

The number of his white Annual Rings reached twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred and nine.

However.

this process of refining and absorbing the Golden Mushroom Fruit

had taken ten years.

In those ten years.

Nothing much had happened at the Langya Branch Tower. Instead, the tower had conducted another transaction with the Origin Divine Country, and had also traded with Changzhang Zhuhuo.

From these two transactions.

the Langya Branch Tower had profited handsomely.

Of course.

Xu Qing also received his one-ten-thousandth share of the profits.

Just that one-ten-thousandth share amounted to as much as ten thousand Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

After exiting seclusion.

Xu Qing received this news the moment he emerged. The message had been transmitted directly to the Token in his hand, which was how he found out.

“Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals!”

Xu Qing was shocked, finding it incredible. ‘I can’t believe I received so many Longevity Crystals from my share! And these are Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals, not Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.’

‘In terms of value…’

‘One Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystal is equivalent to ten thousand Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals. If the Encyclopedia of All Things were to absorb it, I could gain a full septillion True Points.’

‘Therefore…’

‘If the Encyclopedia of All Things absorbs ten thousand Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals, it’s enough to gain ten octillion True Points. That’s an astronomical figure.’

‘With this…’

‘in the short term, at least, I no longer have to worry about running out of True Points. I have more than enough to use.’

‘Excellent, excellent, excellent.’

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Additionally.

over the past ten years.

Lin Feifei and the others had completed several procurement missions. Since Xu Qing was in seclusion, he hadn’t had time to participate. They had all performed admirably, and the mission rewards had been distributed well.

At the very least.

Xu Qing could continue his seclusion in peace without having to worry about the trivial matters of the Langya Branch Tower.

‘Since there’s nothing pressing, I’ll continue my seclusion.’

Xu Qing’s expression was contemplative. ‘There are still eight Golden Mushroom Fruits left. It takes ten years to absorb one, so eight will take eighty years. I’ll need to stay in seclusion for at least another eighty years.’

And so.

Xu Qing stepped back into the Seclusion Chamber. He hadn’t seen anyone during this brief exit from his training.

In the blink of an eye.

another ten years passed.

Xu Qing absorbed the second Golden Mushroom Fruit and once again condensed nine white Annual Rings, bringing his total to twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred and eighteen.

Also.

during these ten years.

neither the Origin Divine Country nor Changzhang Zhuhuo had conducted a third transaction.

Therefore.

Xu Qing did not receive any share of profits.

Time flew by.

Xu Qing was completely immersed in his Cultivation, oblivious to the passage of time. Ten years, twenty years, thirty years…

Unwittingly.

eighty years had passed.

Eighty years.

Nothing major had occurred.

Everything was business as usual.

However.

Xu Qing himself had changed significantly. He had now absorbed and refined all nine Golden Mushroom Fruits, reaching their Extreme limit. Even if he were to absorb more, they would be of no use and could no longer bring him any improvement.

“Hooo…”

Xu Qing exhaled a long breath. With a single thought, the white Life Wheel and its white Annual Rings appeared behind his head once again. The Life Wheel was vast, and the white Annual Rings shone with a dazzling light.

Upon closer inspection.

there were a full twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety white Annual Rings.

Nine Golden Mushroom Fruits.

All of them absorbed and refined.

And they had only added ninety white Annual Rings.

Thus.

he was still ten short of the theoretical ‘Thirty Thousand Dao’.

However.

this was already an Extreme achievement.

Because.

Xu Qing had done his research. As far as he knew, across the entire Unique True Realm, among all the powers and all the beings on record…

from the beginning of time until now…

…no one at the Zhenren Level had ever cultivated their white Annual Rings to twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety. The highest record was merely twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred.

In other words.

Xu Qing had already surpassed the highest record by ninety.

However.

Xu Qing was still not satisfied.

“It’s not enough!”

Xu Qing shook his head. ‘I’m only ten away. If I can just condense ten more white Annual Rings, I’ll reach the theoretical Extreme of ‘Thirty Thousand Dao.”

‘I must achieve it.’

Clearly.

this goal had become an obsession for Xu Qing.

However.

there was no other way to increase the number of white Annual Rings. The appearance of the Golden Mushroom Fruit was the result of an accidental experiment and could not be replicated.

The nine methods recorded in the Dimensional True Skill were all the methods that could be found in the entire Unique True Realm.

Therefore.

Xu Qing had run out of options.

“Hooo…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath, his eyes lighting up. ‘Since there are no other methods, my only choice is to cultivate another True Skill and continuously level it up to increase my white Annual Rings.’

At this thought.

Xu Qing no longer hesitated.

With a thought.

the basic information for the ‘True Sword Technique’ appeared in his mind.

It was worth noting that.

ever since Xu Qing had taken Elder Zhen as his master, he had focused on cultivating the ‘Dimensional True Skill’. In contrast, he had not continued to cultivate the ‘True Sword Technique’, which he had comprehended from the Sea of Chaos.

This time.

he was picking up the ‘True Sword Technique’ once more.

…

[True Sword Technique LV1: 974,624,400 Trillion / 1 Trillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (…Omitted)]

…

“Good.”

Xu Qing nodded. With a thought, his consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things. ‘Upgrade the True Sword Technique!’

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!!!

Instantly.

The Encyclopedia of All Things began to flicker with radiant light. Xu Qing entered a special state and began to comprehend all sorts of mysteries as streams of Dimensional Sword Qi appeared around his body.

The Level of his True Sword Technique began to rise rapidly.

Level 1… Level 10… Level 20…

BUZZ!

Suddenly.

the moment the True Sword Technique reached Level 20, a tremor ran through Xu Qing’s entire body. His Life Wheel transformed as the white light of the Dimensional Sword Qi condensed.

And then.

it actually condensed the twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-first white Annual Ring. This new ring radiated a terrifying white Dimensional Sword Qi.

It was strong!

Extremely strong!

“Excellent!”

Xu Qing’s eyes lit up with excitement, but he quickly calmed his mind and refocused his attention on the True Sword Technique, continuing to raise its Level.

Level 21… Level 25… Level 29…

It could be said that.

from Level 20 onward, every single Level gained in the True Sword Technique, with all the mysteries it contained, allowed Xu Qing to condense one more white Annual Ring.

In fact.

looking again.

what Xu Qing was condensing now could no longer be called ‘Annual Rings’. They should be called ‘Sword Wheels’. This represented that Xu Qing had broken through the Extreme limit of the Unique True Realm, creating something beyond ‘Annual Rings’.

White Sword Wheels!

Beyond imagination.

Inconceivable.

BOOM!

Finally.

Xu Qing raised his True Sword Technique to Level 30. This was the highest he could go for now. If he tried to raise the Level 30 True Sword Technique any further, given his current Cultivation, a Level 31 True Sword Technique would spiral out of control. So, for the moment, he could only raise it to Level 30.

However.

it was enough.

Because.

the moment his True Sword Technique reached Level 30, countless streams of Dimensional Sword Qi erupted, creating a terrifyingly powerful ripple that even affected the entire Langya Branch Tower.

CLANG!!!

At that moment.

the cry of a sword rang out.

High above the Langya Branch Tower, an endlessly majestic, colossal white sword materialized. The sword pierced the heavens, looking as if it would shatter the Thirty-Six Heavens and cleave the One Hundred and Eight Continents in two.

It was truly terrifying to behold.

However.

this aura appeared as quickly as it vanished. It was there for but an instant before disappearing completely, leaving no trace behind.

It could not be tracked or detected.

But.

the aura had still alerted many of the major figures in the Unique True Realm. These titans cast their gazes across endless space and time, focusing them on the Langya Branch Tower.

Inside the Seclusion Chamber.

Xu Qing was unaware of any of this. Having condensed Thirty Thousand White Annual Rings and reached the theoretical Extreme, he had entered a special state…
