[Upgrade Successful!]
[Dimensional True Skill Level 52: 370,000 Quadrillion / 640,000 Quadrillion True Points (Cultivation has increased, Seven-dimensional Power has increased, but it is not yet enough for the physical body to reach the Mid-stage True Emperor Level.)]
...
Xu Qing carefully experienced the changes within himself. His Cultivation had indeed improved slightly, but he was still two Levels away from stepping into the Mid-stage True Emperor Level.
If he could raise his Dimensional True Skill to Level 54, he would break through to the Mid-stage True Emperor Level.
However, he didn't have enough True Points.
That meant he couldn't continue leveling up his Dimensional True Skill.
So, Xu Qing immediately came out of seclusion.
Afterward, Xu Qing sought out Wan Qianren again.
His purpose was simple.
He and Wan Qianren had previously reached a cooperation agreement: Wan Qianren would provide Xu Qing with enough Longevity Crystals, and in return, Xu Qing would advance to the Eternal Great True Master Realm before the True Realm Tower conference began.
This way, Xu Qing would be confident enough to help the Langya Branch Tower improve its ranking in the conference. If the Langya Branch Tower's rank rose, Wan Qianren would also receive rewards from the True Realm Tower.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Xu Qing took out the Langya Honor Order. Through this Token, he contacted Wan Qianren, who responded to Xu Qing immediately.
"Ten thousand Million Years Longevity Crystals... it's only been a few years, and you've already used them all?"
Wan Qianren was taken aback for a moment.
"Yes," Xu Qing nodded.
"Fine."
Wan Qianren waved his hand and said, "How many Longevity Crystals do you need this time?"
"Tower Master, it would be even better if you had Ten Million Years Longevity Crystals," Xu Qing said.
"Impossible."
Wan Qianren shook his head. "With my current Authority, I can only give you Million Years Longevity Crystals. That is my absolute limit. It's impossible for me to give you Ten Million Years Longevity Crystals. If the higher-ups at the True Realm Tower found out I was even giving you Million Years Longevity Crystals, I would be punished."
"This..."
Xu Qing paused, not expecting the rules to be so strict.
SWISH!
Immediately after, Wan Qianren took out a portion of Longevity Crystals. Although they were only Million Years Longevity Crystals, this time the quantity reached a full one hundred million.
"Xu Qing,"
Wan Qianren said in a deep voice, "This is the most I can give you right now—one hundred million Million Years Longevity Crystals. If even this isn't enough, then there's nothing more I can do. I can't just help you without limits. Besides, if I give you too many Million Years Longevity Crystals, I will inevitably face punishment."
"I hope you can understand."
"Thank you, Tower Master."
Xu Qing took a deep breath. His tone was respectful as he said, "For you to support this junior so generously... I am already incredibly, incredibly moved. How could I dare to make any excessive demands?"
"I will surely remember this senior's kindness."
"Good."
Wan Qianren nodded, a glint in his eyes. "For the next while, I need to leave the Langya Branch Tower and Boundless Heaven. I'm heading to Purple Cloud Heaven to handle a matter. Therefore, I may not be able to help you during this time."
"You'll have to be careful on your own."
"Yes."
Xu Qing nodded.
"Also,"
Wan Qianren continued, "The commotion you cause every time you break through is too great. You might not even have noticed it yourself. If I hadn't been helping you conceal the phenomena, you would have alarmed the entire Boundless Heaven."
"So, while I'm gone, you must pay attention to the phenomena after your breakthroughs. Suppress them as much as possible. Don't let them get out of hand, or you'll attract unnecessary trouble."
"Understood."
Xu Qing nodded.
"Mm."
Only then did Wan Qianren nod in satisfaction.
After they exchanged a few more words, the communication was cut off.
And so, Xu Qing once again had a full one hundred million Million Years Longevity Crystals in his possession.
「Soon.」
Xu Qing entered seclusion again. He took out the one hundred million Million Years Longevity Crystals one after another. With a thought, his consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things.
...
[Ding!]
[True Points discovered. Absorb? Yes/No?]
...
"Yes."
Xu Qing confirmed. This time, there were a full one hundred million Million Years Longevity Crystals. A vast, formless Energy transformed into a torrential river, surging continuously into the Encyclopedia of All Things until it was completely absorbed.
...
[Ding!]
[Absorption Complete.]
[Acquired: 100,000,000 Quadrillion True Points!]
...
The information appeared.
"Excellent!"
A wide smile spread across Xu Qing's face.
SWISH! SWISH!
With a thought, the corresponding information appeared.
...
[Dimensional True Skill Level 52: 100,370,000 Quadrillion / 640,000 Quadrillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (...)]
...
"Good!"
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, his consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things again, and he immediately initiated the upgrade. 'Upgrade Dimensional True Skill!'
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Dimensional True Skill Level 53: 99,730,000 Quadrillion / 1,280,000 Quadrillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (Cultivation Realm has increased, Seven-dimensional Power has increased...)]
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Dimensional True Skill Level 54: 98,450,000 Quadrillion / 2,560,000 Quadrillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (Cultivation breakthrough! Realm advanced! Seven-dimensional Power is further perfected, Realm has broken through to the Mid-stage True Emperor Level, Golden Annual Rings increased from 100 million to 300 million...)]
...
Xu Qing took a deep breath.
He entered a mysterious state of breakthrough. Even though the supreme power of the Encyclopedia of All Things could grant him an instant, epiphany-like upgrade, the sheer scale of the advancement in his Cultivation and Realm still plunged him into this profound state.
