Chapter 578 - 422: Obtaining True Realm Wood and True Realm Water

WHIRR!

Xu Qing looked up. The Wooden House was changing. A black vortex had formed on the ceiling—the entrance to the eighth level of the Only True Path.

Evidently.

Xu Qing had passed the trial of the Seventh Level of the Only True Path.

"Go!"

SWOOSH!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qing stepped forward and transformed into a streak of light. He shot into the black vortex, leaving the Seventh Level of the Only True Path behind as he headed for the eighth.

WHIRR! WHIRR!

Soon, Xu Qing’s senses returned to normal. He had entered the eighth level of the Only True Path and was immediately met with the sound of endless rushing water—a deafening, ear-piercing SPLASH.

"This place..."

Xu Qing looked around. He saw endless lakes, seas, and rivers. He had arrived in a world of countless oceans, a vast world made of water.

Originally.

Xu Qing had thought he would arrive in a so-called ’Water House,’ but instead, he found himself in an endless world. This boundless world contained every imaginable kind of water.

This water formed puddles, ponds, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans... and even entire Water Universes...

Boundless and infinite.

"Hm."

The relevant information appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. Although the eighth level had changed, its essence remained the same. The trial was not much different from those of the sixth and seventh levels.

Now.

Xu Qing needed to search through these countless types of water—through the innumerable puddles, ponds, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans... and even the Water Universes—to find the true ’True Realm Water’.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and murmured, ’The same trial again.’

WHIRR! WHIRR! WHIRR!!!

With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with his Primordial Blood, Creation True Talisman, True Realm Gold, and True Realm Wood—all four elements he had raised to Level 10.

And.

Using the unique nature of these four Level 10 elements, Xu Qing formed a subtle connection with the real True Realm Water, locating it.

"This..."

Xu Qing was slightly stunned. The four Level 10 elements had guided him to an extremely inconspicuous little puddle.

The puddle was tiny, like one that would form on an uneven road after a downpour.

So.

Amidst the countless ponds, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans... and even Water Universes, such a small puddle was utterly unremarkable and practically impossible to find.

In other words.

If Xu Qing hadn’t been guided by his four Level 10 elements, he would have had an incredibly difficult time finding the true ’True Realm Water.’ The difficulty had indeed increased.

It was a pity.

For Xu Qing, these trials were like an open-book exam. It was as if he already had all the answers, making it all too easy and simple.

’Then let’s begin.’

His gaze calm, Xu Qing walked forward until he reached a vast, endless Water Universe. He slowly reached out and dipped his hand into it.

...

[Ding!]

[True Points discovered. Absorb?]

...

The same prompt appeared.

"Yes."

Xu Qing confirmed.

WHIRR! WHIRR! WHIRR!

Immediately, the Encyclopedia of All Things began to flicker with a dazzling brilliance, accompanied by a flow of countless lights and shadows...

...

[Ding!]

[Absorption successful!]

[Acquired: 1 trillion True Points.]

...

The same notification appeared again.

Xu Qing took a deep breath.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Sure enough.

The Water Universe immediately began to change, to evolve. Before Xu Qing’s eyes, it transformed into a Water Demon God.

However.

A mere Water Demon God at the Immortal Realm was as fragile as an ant before Xu Qing. He dispatched it with a single, casual blow.

"Next."

Xu Qing’s expression was calm as he touched a vast ocean with his right hand...

...

[Acquired: 1 trillion True Points!]

...

[Acquired: 1 trillion True Points!]

...

[Acquired: 1 trillion True Points!]

...

「Time passed.」

Xu Qing was in no hurry to take the True Realm Water. He was continuously acquiring True Points, stockpiling a massive amount. Gathering True Points was, after all, one of his goals.

"Human! You deserve to die!!!"

BOOM!

Finally.

Just as Xu Qing touched the one-thousand-and-first type of water, he awoke an extremely terrifying existence. A powerful being of the Water Demon Race, at the Pseudo-Tenth Realm, had been revived.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Without the slightest hesitation, this Pseudo-Tenth Realm Water Demon God attacked Xu Qing, immediately unleashing its strongest killing move. It held nothing back, erupting with its most powerful force.

BAM! BAM! BAM!!!

Of course.

Xu Qing went all out as well. He also held nothing back, unleashing his strongest techniques and all of his True Artifacts and True Techniques.

Powerful.

Incomparably powerful.

In the end, after a series of great battles, the Pseudo-Tenth Realm Water Demon God was defeated. It lost to Xu Qing and was ultimately slain by him.

Xu Qing let out a long breath, watching as the body of the Pseudo-Tenth Realm Water Demon God dissolved into countless motes of light and vanished into the Void, disappearing completely.

’That should be enough.’

His expression thoughtful, Xu Qing slowly walked toward the inconspicuous little puddle. He reached out and touched it.

WHIRR! WHIRR!

Immediately, the small puddle began to change. It emitted an endless, aquamarine radiance, containing an unbelievable aura that surpassed the very concept of the Sea of Chaos.

This was the true ’True Realm Water’.

At the same time, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things, and his gaze fell upon the True Realm Water.

"Index!"

Xu Qing commanded.

WHIRR!

Instantly, the Encyclopedia of All Things glowed with an aquamarine light. The True Realm Water also began to shine with an ever-brighter radiance. Countless images and scenes flashed before Xu Qing’s eyes, but they were too blurry to make out clearly.

...

[Indexing successful!]

[True Realm Water Level 1: 2.99222 quadrillion True Points / 10 billion True Points! (Upgradeable!) (This is an object that exists only in legend within the Sea of Chaos. Legend says it originates from the Unique True Realm and possesses incredible Creation. It is one of the Seven Elements required to merge the Three Great Immortals and step into the ’Tenth Realm’.)]

...

"Good."

Xu Qing nodded, his expression unchanged. He had expected this; it was just a repeat of the previous trials. He said directly, "Upgrade True Realm Water."

...

[Upgrade successful!]

...

[Upgrade successful!]

...

[Upgrade successful!]

[True Realm Water Level 10: 2.98711 quadrillion True Points / 5.12 trillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (After nine upgrades, the True Realm Water has reached its most Perfect, Extreme, and peak state. Having undergone nine transformations and sublimations, it is now one of the most Perfect of the seven great elements.)]

...

In a short time, Xu Qing had indexed the True Realm Water he had just obtained. Not only was the indexing successful, but in less than half a minute, he had also raised the Level 1 True Realm Water to Level 10.

WHIRR! WHIRR!

Sure enough.

The Level 10 True Realm Water began to change, resonating with the other four Level 10 elements. Moreover, it was drawn to Xu Qing himself.

SWOOSH!

The next moment, the Level 10 True Realm Water transformed into a streak of light and merged into Xu Qing’s body, combining with the other four Level 10 elements within him.

And so, Xu Qing’s Three Great Immortals also began to change.

However, Xu Qing’s aura had indeed grown stronger.

Xu Qing opened his eyes. He took a deep breath, carefully sensing the changes within himself, and thought, ’Almost there! Almost there! Only two elements left! As long as I gather the remaining two elements, and with all these True Points I’ve accumulated, I can definitely complete the fusion of the Three Great Immortals and truly step into the ’Tenth Realm’!’
