Xuanhuang Guardian City.

Inside Xu Qing’s private white space.

"Whew..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He had already adjusted his state, and with a mere thought, his consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things.

...

[Chaos Sword Dao LV19: 9,500,000,000,000,000 / 26,214,400,000,000,000 Jing Points of Experience Points (Upgradeable!) (...)]

...

’Upgrade Chaos Sword Dao.’

Xu Qing took another deep breath and communicated his intent to the Encyclopedia of All Things.

BOOM! BOOM!!

Instantly,

the Encyclopedia of All Things flared with intense brilliance. Various images flashed before Xu Qing’s eyes as an extremely powerful Chaos Sword Qi surged around him.

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Chaos Sword Dao LV20: 6,878,560,000,000,000 / 52,428,800,000,000,000 Jing Points of Experience Points (Upgradeable!) (Having refined infinite Chaos Sword Dao Intent, you have constructed thirty-six Daoist Palaces in your sea of consciousness, thereby stepping into the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Palace Realm!)]

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Chaos Sword Dao LV21: 1,635,680,000,000,000 / 104,857,600,000,000,000 Jing Points of Experience Points (Through comprehending the Chaos Sword Dao, you have condensed a ’Sword Dao Heart’ and constructed a ’Sword Dao Venerable God’ within one of your Daoist Palaces, thereby stepping into the ’First Layer of the Daoist Venerable Realm’.)]

...

"Whew..."

Xu Qing opened his eyes. With a thought, the ’Sword Dao Venerable God’ from his first Chaos Daoist Palace stepped out, transforming into his first Dao Body.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

The first Dao Body clasped its hands in a salute, its tone one of utmost respect.

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. He could feel the changes within himself; he was now able to touch upon the essence of the ’Dao’ more clearly and was gradually stepping into the third level of the ’Sixth Realm’.

"Not bad."

Xu Qing examined the first Dao Body. The ’Sword Dao Venerable God’, constructed with the ’Sword Dao Heart’ as its foundation, could transform into this first Dao Body, which possessed strength equal to Xu Qing’s own.

BZZZT!

With a thought,

the first Dao Body transformed into a streak of Sword Light and vanished into the space between Xu Qing’s eyebrows.

’I’ve unknowingly stepped into the First Layer of the Daoist Venerable Realm,’ Xu Qing mused. ’As long as I construct a Sword Dao Venerable God in all thirty-six Daoist Palaces, I will reach the peak of the Daoist Venerable Realm. At that point, I can try to comprehend the essence of the Dao and step into the Seventh Realm.’

Next, Xu Qing familiarized himself with his newly enhanced realm and strength.

"Elf Tutor Number 01,"

Xu Qing called out.

BZZZT!

A white light flickered,

and Elf Tutor No. 01 appeared before Xu Qing.

"Honored Candidate, what are your instructions?"

Elf Tutor No. 01 asked respectfully.

"I need a Triple A-Level mission,"

Xu Qing said.

"As you command."

Elf Tutor No. 01’s tone remained extremely respectful.

BZZZT! BZZZT!

With a flash of white light,

a projection appeared before Xu Qing. Exactly three Triple A-Level missions were displayed. Each one was considerably difficult, much harder than any AA-Level mission.

Xu Qing’s gaze swept over them, and he quickly decided which Triple A-Level mission to accept.

"This one,"

Xu Qing said.

[Triple A-Level Mission]

[Mission Details: Within the Origin World ’Cultivation Realm,’ a Demon Sect is running rampant in one of its domains, causing widespread devastation. Please enter the ’Skeleton Realm’ of the ’Cultivation Realm’ and annihilate this Demon Sect.]

[Mission Reward: One million Candidate Value!]

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded slightly. "Acceptable."

"Please prepare yourself, Honored Candidate,"

said Elf Tutor No. 01.

"Begin,"

Xu Qing said.

"Yes."

BZZZT!

The moment the word was spoken,

an incredibly dense white light surged forth. The transfer process initiated, and both Xu Qing and the Level 10 Twisted Demon God were teleported away.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing opened his eyes, his senses fully restored. He looked around and found himself in a completely different place, a different world. He had arrived in the ’Cultivation Realm’, one of the Nine Great Origin Worlds of the Sea of Chaos. Moreover, this was none other than the ’Skeleton Realm’ of the Cultivation Realm.

"Twisted Demon God."

Xu Qing didn’t pay much attention to the specific conditions of the ’Skeleton Realm’. Upon his arrival, he could already feel the realm was saturated with a destructive, decaying, and deceitful Demonic Qi.

"Proceed according to the plan,"

Xu Qing instructed. "You will remain here and thoroughly investigate the specifics of the Demon Sect in the Skeleton Realm. I will be leaving to enter a period of secluded cultivation."

"Yes."

The Level 10 Twisted Demon God’s tone was one of utmost respect. "This subordinate obeys."

BOOM!

The moment the words were spoken,

Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things.

"Teleport!"

SWOOSH!

With a flash of white light,

Xu Qing vanished. He had left for the Level 41 Beastman Mini World, leaving only the Level 10 Twisted Demon God behind.

BZZZT!

The Level 10 Twisted Demon God also vanished into thin air. He departed to carry out Xu Qing’s orders and begin his investigation.

「Within the Celestial Dao Space of the Level 41 Beastman Mini World.」

"Whew..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He sat cross-legged, took out several Middle-grade World Foundation Stones, and began to absorb their Energy.

’Chaos Sword Dao!’

Xu Qing entered a meditative state, beginning to practice and contemplate the Chaos Sword Dao. The Chaos Sword Qi around him grew denser, and his Sword Dao Intent became more solid.

...

[Experience +1]

...

[Experience +1]

...

Soon, the Experience Points for his Chaos Sword Dao began to skyrocket at an incredible speed.
