’The time required for each upgrade is getting longer and longer.’

’Then I’ll just keep going!’

Additionally, over the past ten years, Xu Qing had entered the World of Ten Thousand Races to deploy the Level 10 Chaos Origin Sword Array Map and accumulate the necessary Experience Points.

After ten years, the Level 10 Chaos Origin Sword Array Map had accumulated a massive amount of Experience Points.

Consequently, the Chaos Origin Sword Array Map was upgraded from Level 10 to Level 13.

Its Mighty Power had increased tremendously.

The speed at which he could practice and meditate on the Chaos Sword Dao increased from ten to thirty times the normal rate.

VMMM!

With a wave of his right hand, Xu Qing sent the damaged Time Treasure Tower flying straight into the Void. It once again entered the River of Time to accumulate Experience Points.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing himself entered the World of Ten Thousand Races to start accumulating Experience Points for the Chaos Origin Sword Array Map.

The World of Ten Thousand Races was also accumulating Experience Points, which would allow its own Level to be raised.

Time flew by. Seasons came and went, and year after year passed.

Xu Qing remained in secluded cultivation within the Sword One Dojo, never once stepping outside. During this time, Chen Wangu visited twice. When he discovered that Xu Qing’s Realm had advanced to the Seventh Realm, he didn’t say much, simply allowing Xu Qing to continue his secluded Cultivation in the Sword One Dojo.

Before he knew it, a hundred years had passed.

Xu Qing nodded slightly. With a thought, he commanded, ’Upgrade the damaged Time Treasure Tower.’

"Not bad."

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

Xu Qing mused, ’Upgrade the Level 13 Chaos Origin Sword Array Map.’

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

...

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Chaos Origin Sword Array Map Level 16: 862.4 Billion Zi / 3.2768 Trillion Zi Experience Points (After a full fifteen upgrades and fifteen transformations, the Sword Array Map’s Mighty Power has increased tremendously, capable of boosting Cultivation speed by up to fifty times.)]

...

The corresponding information appeared before him.

"Good."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. With another thought, he continued, ’Upgrade the World of Ten Thousand Races.’

...

...

After three upgrades, the World of Ten Thousand Races reached Level 4. If it were upgraded just two more times, its World Rank would advance by another major grade.

"Excellent, excellent."

Xu Qing nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately after, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Intense fluctuations erupted from within the Celestial Dao of the World of Ten Thousand Races. The Twisted Demon God’s transformation was nearing completion; it had thoroughly absorbed the Level 10 Innate Demon God Origin Essence Blood.

CRACK! CRACK!

RUMBLE!

Xu Qing took a single step, entering the Level 4 World of Ten Thousand Races. With another wave of his right hand, an enormous, blood-colored egg shot out and hovered in the Celestial Dao Space.

The giant, blood-colored egg began to shatter. Cracks appeared and spread rapidly across its entire surface.

Finally, with a tremendous crash, the giant, blood-colored egg shattered completely.

"Huuuh..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, now fully focused. He raised his right hand and mobilized the Energy of the entire Level 4 World of Ten Thousand Races, swiftly channeling it into the blood-colored egg.

With another wave of his right hand, Xu Qing then channeled the vast Power of Origin from the Grand Thousand Worlds into the blood-colored egg, allowing it to be refined and absorbed...

Finally, after a hundred years had passed within the Level 4 World of Ten Thousand Races...

RUMMMBLE!!!

The blood-colored egg shattered completely. The Twisted Demon God emerged, standing tall in the Void as countless streams of light and shadow flowed around it. Sacred hymns of the Great Dao resounded, and flowers of the Great Dao bloomed in the Void...

Ultimately,

all the light and shadows vanished.

Soon, the fully transformed Twisted Demon God appeared before Xu Qing.

"Master!"

The Twisted Demon God bowed deeply to Xu Qing before kneeling at his feet.

"Good."

Xu Qing observed the Twisted Demon God kneeling before him. With the transformation complete, all of the Demon God’s inhuman features had vanished. He now appeared as a young man with long, blood-red hair, dressed in a full set of blood-red robes, with a Dao Mark between his brows.

This Dao Mark could also be called an ’Innate Demon God Mark’.

With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things, and the basic information of the transformed Twisted Demon God appeared in his mind.

...

[Innate Demon God—Twisted Level 1: 0 / 20,000 Zi Experience Points (Originally a Postnatal Demon God, it comprehended the truth of the Great Dao, condensed a ’Dao Seal’, and stepped into the ’Dao Realm: Initial Realm of the Great Dao’. It then completely absorbed and fused with the ’Level 10 Innate Demon God Origin Essence Blood’, thereby achieving ’Postnatal Returning to Innate’ and transforming from a ’Postnatal Demon God’ into a true ’Innate Demon God’.)]

...

"Excellent, excellent."

Xu Qing nodded, extremely satisfied with the Twisted Demon God’s transformation. What was once merely a Postnatal Demon God had now become a true Innate Demon God.

VMMM! VMMM!

At the same time, more information appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. Although the Twisted Demon God had become an Innate Demon God, its method for gaining Experience Points remained the same: absorbing the Power of Origin from a Grand Thousand Worlds. It could also absorb the ’Power of Origin of an Origin World’ to rapidly increase its Experience Points.

"What is your current strength and Realm?"

Xu Qing asked.

"Reporting to Master."

The Twisted Demon God said, "My Cultivation and Realm have not changed, but my strength is a hundred times greater than it was before the transformation."

"Most importantly,"

"after becoming an Innate Demon God, I received the ’Innate Demon God’s Inheritance.’ Within the ’Inherited Memories of an Innate Demon God,’ there is information recorded about the ’Unique True Realm’."

"The Unique True Realm!"

Xu Qing was startled.

"Yes."

The Twisted Demon God nodded.

One must understand,

the Unique True Realm.

It was the source of all things, the origin of everything, the birthplace of the Great Dao, and the ultimate prize sought by countless Undying Immortal supreme beings.

It could be said that this was the ultimate pursuit of all ultimate beings.

Only by stepping into the ’Unique True Realm’ could one attain eternity in its truest sense.

"Speak."

Xu Qing said, "What do you know?"

"Reporting to Master."

The Twisted Demon God answered directly, "The Unique True Realm will open in nine hundred years, meaning there is less than a thousand years left. When that time comes, the ’Only True Path’ will appear, attracting an influx of countless powerful experts."
