Chapter 595 - 431: Dimensional True Skill, Langya Branch Tower, Using the Back Door

The True Skill inheritance from Elder Zhen was truly extraordinary, so the Encyclopedia of All Things recorded it, entering it into the Fourth Heaven of the Encyclopedia and making it a part of itself.

...

[Cataloging Successful!]

[First Volume of the Dimensional True Skill Level 1: 3,930 / 100 Trillion True Points (Upgradeable!) (One of the nine great True Skill inheritances in the True Realm Tower, further optimized by Elder Zhen. However, this is only the first volume, so it can only be cultivated to the level of True Perfection. Each Level-up increases the number of Black Annual Rings.)]

...

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. He was already sitting cross-legged, his body enveloped in a brilliant, surging light that coalesced into a cyan dimensional glow.

CLANG! CLANG!

Immediately after,

Accompanied by the ringing of swords, the dimensional light condensed into countless dimensional swords, unleashing a formidable Mighty Power. A look of surprise appeared on Elder Zhen’s face.

’He’s mastered another True Skill?’

Elder Zhen said in a surprised tone, "And this True Skill is an extremely good fit for Xu Qing. If I’m not mistaken, it must be one that he created himself."

"This is..."

The next moment,

Elder Zhen’s eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn’t help but exclaim, "He... he’s already comprehended the First Volume of the Dimensional True Skill!"

HISS...

In spite of himself,

Elder Zhen drew a sharp breath.

After all,

Elder Zhen had only just transmitted the First Volume of the Dimensional True Skill to Xu Qing, and yet he had already comprehended it on the spot, grasping its profound mysteries.

"No wonder he was able to create a genuine True Skill in the Sea of Chaos," Elder Zhen murmured. "True Techniques are easy to come by, but True Skills are rare. For Xu Qing to have accomplished such a thing, it’s no surprise he could comprehend the First Volume of the Dimensional True Skill on the spot."

Then,

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

He had awakened.

As a precaution,

Xu Qing did not use the power of the Encyclopedia of All Things to increase the Level of his First Volume of the Dimensional True Skill in front of Elder Zhen, deciding to wait until after he had left.

"Master, I have gained some initial understanding of the First Volume of the Dimensional True Skill,"

Xu Qing said.

"Good, good, good."

Elder Zhen said "good" three times in a row, growing ever more pleased with Xu Qing. After a moment’s thought, he waved his right hand, summoning a special True Realm Jade Scroll and a Cyan Short Sword.

"Xu Qing,"

Elder Zhen said, "This Jade Scroll records a True Technique, and this Cyan Short Sword is a True Artifact. Both will serve to increase your Power."

"Take them."

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Qing’s voice was filled with joy.

"How about this,"

Elder Zhen mulled it over for a moment before continuing, "Although you are now my Registered Disciple, I cannot keep you by my side. You must still follow the rules of the True Realm Tower and serve as an apprentice."

"However,"

"I can make some arrangements for you."

SWOOSH!

With a wave of his right hand,

A vast screen of light appeared before Elder Zhen again. It displayed all the branch towers of the True Realm Tower, along with related information.

"This is the place."

Elder Zhen’s eyes swept across the screen before he made his decision. "Xu Qing," he said, "you will go to the Langya Branch Tower. The master of the Langya Branch Tower, Wanqianren, is an old acquaintance of mine. Moreover, he owes me a favor. If I assign you there, you’ll be under his care, and your apprenticeship should be much easier."

"That way,"

"you will have more time to cultivate the First Volume of the Dimensional True Skill."

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded respectfully and bowed. "I will follow your arrangements, Master."

"Good."

Elder Zhen smiled faintly.

SWOOSH!

With a wave of his right hand,

another black vortex appeared.

In fact,

the Langya Branch Tower had no shortage of apprentices. Among the many branches of the True Realm Tower, it was one of the most famous and highly-ranked.

As a result,

countless beings vied to enter the Langya Branch Tower. There were never any vacancies, even for apprentices, and countless eyes were fixed on any potential opening.

Now,

Xu Qing’s appearance and assignment were like something that had fallen from the sky.

It would likely cause quite a stir.

"Go on,"

Elder Zhen said with a smile.

"Yes."

Xu Qing nodded. He walked towards the black vortex, his figure slowly disappearing inside. Once he had vanished completely, the vortex dissipated without a trace.

"I will be looking forward to your growth."

Elder Zhen murmured softly, his tone calm. He then raised his head to the heavens, his gaze seeming to pierce through countless obstacles to look upon some distant place.

Despite himself,

his eyes revealed a deep-seated worry and a powerful anger.

「Inside the dark and deep spacetime passage.」

’That must be the end.’

Xu Qing reached the end of the passage. With his eyesight and Cultivation, he could see and feel a vast, vibrant world waiting at the exit.

Then,

Xu Qing stepped through the end of the passage and out into the world beyond, his feet landing on a dark and boundless stretch of earth.

He could feel a vast aura spreading out and coalescing into a faint mist. As he looked around, it obscured his vision, leaving only a boundless, hazy expanse.

The spacetime tunnel he had arrived through had already disappeared. Xu Qing quickly put away the special Jade Scroll and the Cyan Short Sword from Elder Zhen.

Phew...

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He slowly looked up and saw the night sky of the Unique True Realm. Countless stars were scattered across it, all of them shining brilliantly.
