Chapter 620: Breakthrough! Great Zhenren

Chapter 620: Chapter 443: Breakthrough! Great Zhenren

In fact, in a world like this, strength and Cultivation were one’s greatest support.

Ever since Xu Qing had arrived in the Unique True Realm and become Elder Zhen’s disciple, he had spent practically all his time cultivating. He was completely immersed in practice, raising his strength, his Cultivation, and his Realm, growing stronger step by step.

For Xu Qing, nothing could be better.

After all, back in the Sea of Chaos and the Profound Yellow Realm, he had been a nobody without any backing. He’d had to fight to the death for every Cultivation Technique, every opportunity, every Treasure. The slightest misstep would have meant certain death.

But now, whenever Xu Qing cultivated or broke through, any resources or Treasures he needed could be easily obtained from the Langya Branch Tower.

It was like earning money every second of every day just by lying there, like getting a promotion and a raise without having to work hard or suck up to your boss.

Could anything be more comfortable than this?

Absolutely not!

If Xu Qing hadn’t become Elder Zhen’s disciple, if he hadn’t possessed sufficient aptitude, he would most likely have ended up like many other beings in the Unique True Realm—like Lin Feifei and the others. They had to toil endlessly, racking their brains to complete one difficult mission after another just to earn a few rewards. They would then use those rewards to exchange for resources, finally consuming them to advance their Cultivation and Realm.

「In the Seclusion Chamber.」

Xu Qing sat cross-legged.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

With a single thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. The basic information for the ‘Dimensional True Skill’ appeared in his mind, and a flawless Two-dimensional Power began to circulate around him.

「Meanwhile.」

Wan Qianren was also keeping an eye on Xu Qing.

Of course, he couldn’t spy on Xu Qing during his seclusion. It seemed Elder Zhen had placed some special barrier on him, preventing even Wan Qianren from seeing anything while he was cultivating.

This just went to show how highly Elder Zhen regarded Xu Qing.

“Hmm.”

SWISH!

Wan Qianren waved his right hand, and a series of images appeared. Through these images and the accompanying information, he learned about the five items Xu Qing had taken using the Langya Honor Order.

“This…”

Wan Qianren was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief on his face. ‘Just these five? In the Unique True Realm, these things are worthless. They’re just common insects, grass, fish, snakes, and birds.’

‘What does Xu Qing want with this stuff?’

After a moment of contemplation, Wan Qianren shook his head.

‘No use thinking about it.’

Wan Qianren muttered to himself, ‘For a genius who defies description, having a few strange quirks is perfectly normal.’

‘Also,’ Wan Qianren mused, ‘I wonder how long Elder Zhen plans to leave Xu Qing here with me.’

「In the Seclusion Chamber.」

SWISH! SWISH!

…

[Dimensional True Skill LV10: 900 Quintillion True Points / 5.12 Quintillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (…)]

…

“Upgrade ‘Dimensional True Skill’.”

With a thought from Xu Qing, the process began.

This time,

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The Encyclopedia of All Things shone with a dazzling brilliance. Its pages rustled as ten of them flipped open.

BOOM!

A jolt went through Xu Qing’s mind, and his consciousness became clear. Two-dimensional Power flowed through him, while his White Annual Rings and Life Wheel released an even more brilliant, endless light.

…

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Dimensional True Skill LV11: 894.88 Quintillion True Points / 10.24 Quintillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (Cultivation breakthrough. You have entered the Seeking Truth Realm Third Layer Heaven: Early-stage Grand Zhenren. You have further transformed and mastered Three-dimensional Power. The White Life Wheel has evolved into a Red Life Wheel, and the White Annual Rings have advanced into Red Annual Rings.)]

…

A single White Annual Ring was equivalent to fifty years of Lifespan.

Now, the White Annual Rings had advanced into Red Annual Rings.

Therefore, a single Red Annual Ring was worth one hundred years of Lifespan.

The thirty thousand White Annual Rings advancing into thirty thousand Red Annual Rings meant he now had a Lifespan of three million years. This was Xu Qing’s current limit.

Of course, Xu Qing had only just broken through. For him, a three-million-year Lifespan was just the beginning. Yet for some other Grand Zhenren, three million years was their absolute Extreme.

This was the gap.

For true geniuses, this was where they started, while for others, it was the peak they could ever hope to reach.

“Hooo…”

Xu Qing opened his eyes, clearly sensing the changes within himself—the breakthrough in his Cultivation Realm, the surge in his strength, and the Three-dimensional Power that now enveloped his entire body.

It was safe to say that Xu Qing’s power had increased immensely. He could now easily crush his pre-breakthrough self with one hand. The only issue was his lack of recent combat, leaving him with no opponent to test his strength against.

But that didn’t matter.

As long as his Cultivation had broken through and his strength had increased, that was the best possible outcome.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

At this moment, as Xu Qing sat cross-legged and circulated the Dimensional True Skill, the vast White Life Wheel behind his head had transformed into a brilliant Red Life Wheel.

Likewise, the Thirty Thousand White Annual Rings had become a sea of crimson Red Annual Rings.

A powerful force flowed through him, filling Xu Qing with a sense of satisfaction.

When the Black Life Wheel had first manifested, it was merely the size of a plate. As he broke through from a True One to a Zhenren, the Black Life Wheel advanced into a White Life Wheel.

The White Life Wheel was much larger than the Black, equivalent to about ten plates in size.

And now, with the manifestation of the Red Life Wheel, it had grown more than ten times larger again.

The Red Life Wheel was now comparable in size to a small pond.

The difference was quite obvious.

“Hooo…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He had plenty of True Points. Even if he ran out, he could just absorb Longevity Crystals to replenish them. He was in no short supply of True Points for leveling up.

“Continue upgrading ‘Dimensional True Skill’,” Xu Qing said.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The Encyclopedia of All Things glowed, its pages flipping as the Level 1 Power of All Things Atlas flowed without pause. Xu Qing entered a special state, his Level increasing one by one.

At the same time, Xu Qing’s Cultivation Realm was also slowly rising.

…

「Time flew by.」

In a short period, Xu Qing raised his Dimensional True Skill from Level 11 to Level 18, a full seven Levels. He had also consumed nearly 700 quintillion True Points.

However, his True Points were now running low, not enough to continue upgrading the Dimensional True Skill’s Level.

SWISH! SWISH!

With a thought, Xu Qing took out one Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystal after another.

…

[True Points detected. Absorb?]

…

A prompt quickly appeared.

“Absorb.”

Xu Qing confirmed.
