Chapter 628 447: Continued Breakthrough! True Emperor Level! True Realm Tower Assembly

"There's still a thousand years."

Wan Qianren looked pensive. "If Xu Qing keeps improving at this rate, we can recommend him for the next True Realm Tower conference."

「In the Seclusion Chamber.」

Xu Qing was unaware of Wan Qianren's intentions. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared much. 'As for whether to attend the True Realm Tower conference, I'll just see what the situation is when the time comes.'

RUSTLE... RUSTLE...

The pages of the Encyclopedia of All Things were turning.

This time, a full two hundred pages flipped open. Among them were one hundred and fifty blank pages that Xu Qing needed to fill.

"Mm."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He brought out the Langya Honor Order again and, with a mere thought, began using its authority to acquire various items from the Langya Branch Tower for free.

"Good."

A satisfied smile spread across Xu Qing's face as he looked at the one hundred and fifty items he had acquired from the Langya Branch Tower. He connected his consciousness to the Encyclopedia of All Things and began the recording process.

...

[Recording Successful!]

[True Realm Two-headed Snake...]

...

[Recording Successful!]

[Twisted Truth Vine...]

...

[Recording Successful!]

...

Time flew by.

All one hundred and fifty items, spanning various categories, were beings nurtured within the Unique True Realm. One by one, their recordings were completed, and they became part of the Encyclopedia of All Things.

With that, the first two hundred pages of the Encyclopedia of All Things were completely filled.

Recording complete!

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Immediately, the Encyclopedia of All Things was further perfected, and the Power of the Encyclopedia of All Things grew stronger. Xu Qing could clearly feel the upgrade.

...

[First two hundred pages recorded! The Encyclopedia of All Things has been further perfected! The Power of the Encyclopedia of All Things has advanced to Level 3!]

...

The prompt flashed through his mind and was gone.

"Good."

Xu Qing nodded, satisfied. 'Since the Encyclopedia of All Things has successfully advanced, it's time to continue upgrading my Dimensional True Skill, my cultivation, and my Realm.'

There was no need to hesitate.

"Continue upgrading the Dimensional True Skill."

Xu Qing commanded.

BUZZ!

His consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things.

Two hundred pages fluttered and danced.

The sight was mysterious and wondrous, beyond description.

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Dimensional True Skill Level 31: 7.853 Octillion / 2.048 Octillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (A further breakthrough has been achieved, mastering the fifth volume of the Dimensional True Skill. The perfected, flawless Four-dimensional Power has advanced to Five-dimensional Power, reaching the 'Early-stage True Emperor Realm' and condensing a 'Green Life Wheel.' The three million yellow Annual Rings have evolved into three million green Annual Rings.)]

...

BOOM! BOOM!

His Realm broke through once more.

Xu Qing experienced all sorts of profound wonders as countless insights flooded his mind. Waves of Five-dimensional Power coursed around him, his strength having clearly taken a significant leap.

'So this is the True Emperor Realm.'

BUZZ!

Xu Qing raised his hand. Five-dimensional Power swirled in his palm. 'It truly far surpasses the True King Realm.'

Moreover, his yellow Life Wheel had evolved into a Green Life Wheel.

It was incomparably huge.

At least dozens of times larger than the yellow one.

Comparable to a star.

Furthermore, his three million yellow Annual Rings had evolved into three million green Annual Rings.

One yellow Annual Ring represented five hundred years of lifespan.

Now, a single green Annual Ring was equivalent to one thousand years of lifespan.

Therefore, three million green Annual Rings...

...meant a lifespan cap of a full three billion years.

In fact,

for many beings at the True Emperor level,

a lifespan cap of one hundred million years was already considered excellent.

But now, Xu Qing had a full three billion years.

A full thirty times more.

"Hooo..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. After consolidating his power at the True Emperor level, he once again sat cross-legged and connected his consciousness to the Encyclopedia of All Things.

He clearly intended to continue upgrading his Dimensional True Skill.

"Continue."

Xu Qing commanded, "Upgrade the 'Dimensional True Skill'."

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Dimensional True Skill Level 32: 5.802 Octillion / 4.096 Octillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (...)]

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Dimensional True Skill Level 33: 1.706 Octillion / 8.192 Octillion True Points (...)]

...

After two upgrades, he had gone from Level 31 to Level 33.

However, an increase of just two Levels wasn't enough for his cultivation to break through. He had only reached the extreme of the Early-stage True Emperor. Just one more Level and his cultivation would break through, allowing him to step into the Mid-stage True Emperor Realm.

'I don't have enough True Points.'

Xu Qing's expression grew pensive.

Indeed.

Last time, Xu Qing had received his cut from the trade between the Origin Divine Country and the Golden Mushroom Fruit. Although it was only one ten-thousandth of the total, it amounted to a full ten thousand Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

However, those ten thousand Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals were just his cut from the very first trade. Over the years, the Origin Divine Country and the Golden Mushroom Fruit had traded at least nine or ten more times.

He received his corresponding cut every time a trade was completed. He had simply been too immersed in his cultivation and Realm progression to collect the Longevity Crystals.

This time,

Xu Qing intended to withdraw all of his accumulated Longevity Crystals.

「The next day.」

Xu Qing emerged from his seclusion.

However, the number of Longevity Crystals Xu Qing wanted to withdraw was so large that a clerk at the level of Lou Ke Seal had no authority to deal with him. This time, Xu Qing had to meet with the upper management of the Langya Branch Tower.

「Langya Branch Tower.」

「VIP Floor.」

「VIP Room 001.」

"Greetings, esteemed guest."

Inside VIP Room 001, the person receiving Xu Qing was a high-level executive from the Langya Branch Tower. She was a woman of unparalleled beauty from the Unique True Realm's Moon Spirit Race. "My name is Moon Dance," she said. "It is a pleasure to be of service to you."

"Mm."

Xu Qing's expression remained unchanged. He asked, "What is the total number of Longevity Crystals I have yet to withdraw?"

"Of course."

SWOOSH!

With a wave of her right hand, Moon Dance summoned a series of light screens. They displayed a massive amount of data and information, detailing the numbers and amounts for every trade.

"As you can see."

Moon Dance explained in detail, "There have been a total of seven trades involving the Origin Divine Country and ten trades involving the Golden Mushroom Fruit. Each has a corresponding transaction amount, along with your resulting cut."

"Therefore,"

"added all together, the total number of Longevity Crystals you have yet to withdraw is one hundred million Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals. That is the sum of all your shares."

"Good."

Xu Qing's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected this at all. 'How many years has it been? Only two or three hundred, perhaps even less.'

In any case,

he had reaped a harvest of a full one hundred million Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

Most importantly,

this share was permanent. As long as the Langya Branch Tower and the True Realm Tower existed, and as long as Xu Qing was alive, he would receive one ten-thousandth of the total revenue from every single trade.

"I'm here to withdraw all one hundred million Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals."

Xu Qing stated.

"Of course."

Moon Dance nodded. "Please wait a moment while I make the arrangements."

"Mm."

Xu Qing gave a slight nod.

Soon, half an hour later, everything was settled. Xu Qing left with a Life Crystal Card containing one hundred million Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals. He walked out of the Langya Branch Tower and returned to his Seclusion Chamber.

Of course, Wan Qianren was immediately notified of all of Xu Qing's activities within the Langya Branch Tower.

"Oh."

Wan Qianren looked pensive. 'Xu Qing withdrew one hundred million Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals? What is he planning to buy? But he already has the Langya Honor Card, which lets him take any item from the Langya Branch Tower for free. If the branch tower doesn't have it, it's nearly impossible for him to find it elsewhere.'

'So...'

'Xu Qing must have another use for those one hundred million Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.'

「In the Seclusion Chamber.」

BUZZ! BUZZ!

With a thought, Xu Qing took out all one hundred million Hundred Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

...

[DING!]

[True Points detected. Absorb?]

...

A prompt appeared.

"Yes."

Xu Qing commanded, "Absorb them all."

BUZZ! BUZZ!

An invisible Energy surged, pouring entirely into the Encyclopedia of All Things. It was completely absorbed, shimmering with an unseen radiance.

...

[Absorption Successful!]

[Obtained: 100 Nonillion True Points!]

...

A prompt appeared.
