Chapter 278 - 247: Consecutive Upgrades, Part 2
At first.
A single Top-grade Law Stone could last for a thousand days. Later, after his mastery and comprehension of the Law increased by ten percent, the demand and consumption rate grew tenfold, reducing its lifespan to just one hundred days.
Now.
The demand and consumption rate for Top-grade Law Stones had increased tenfold yet again.
As a result,
a single Top-grade Law Stone could only last for ten days.
’I’ll continue.’
Xu Qing’s expression was calm as he took out a Top-grade Law Stone.
In fact,
until now,
Xu Qing still hadn’t exhausted the Energy of the first Top-grade Law Stone; it was still in use. But with this latest improvement,
a few days later,
the first Top-grade Law Stone completely ran out of Energy.
HUMMM!
As a light breeze blew past,
the Top-grade Law Stone in Xu Qing’s hand, now drained of all its Energy and turned a dusty gray, dissipated with the wind, turning into a cloud of scattered ash.
This time,
because his Reincarnation Law reached Level 8, the upper limit of Experience Points he could accumulate had naturally doubled, allowing him to store a full 1.6 trillion Experience Points.
A number like that
was truly terrifying.
Furthermore,
at his current rate of accumulation, it would take about eleven days to gather one hundred billion Experience Points.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye,
one hundred days had passed.

[Reincarnation Law LV8: 1,600,000,000,000 / 128,000,000 (Upgradeable) (...)]
...
"Haaa..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath. ’Upgrade Reincarnation Law!’
BOOM!
The Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with a brilliant light.
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Reincarnation Law LV9: 1,599,872,000,000 / 256,000,000 (Upgradeable!) (Comprehending the Reincarnation Law, you have fully mastered the first layer, the Hell Dao, and have entered the second layer of the Reincarnation Law, the ’Hungry Ghost Dao.’ The ’Divine Skill: Hell Reincarnation’ has reached Perfection, and the ’Divine Skill: Hungry Ghost Reincarnation’ has reached Perfection Level. You have mastered ’thirty-five percent’ of the Reincarnation Law. You have mastered the complete ’Power of Hell Reincarnation Law’ and the complete ’Power of Hungry Ghost Reincarnation Law.’)]
...
HUMMM! HUMMM!
With a single thought,
Xu Qing opened his eyes. Within them, boundless Hell appeared in his right eye, and infinite hungry ghosts in his left. Scenes of the Underworld flickered in and out of existence.
BOOM!
Moreover,
the illusory Six Paths of Reincarnation faintly materialized behind Xu Qing.
At that moment,
Xu Qing faintly understood something.
The Reincarnation Law.
It wasn’t just about cultivating a single Law. Within the ’Reincarnation Law’ he was mastering and comprehending, it also contained the ’Hell Reincarnation Law’ and the ’Hungry Ghost Reincarnation Law’.
Beyond those,
there were four others he had yet to fully master.
As mentioned before,
everyone who practiced the ’Reincarnation Law’ would have different understandings and comprehensions, and would thus cultivate a different ’Reincarnation Law’.
The mysteries they uncovered would not be identical.
But,
in the end, all paths led to the same destination.
Clearly,
Li Shang had never truly grasped the ’Reincarnation Law’. Or perhaps, it was more accurate to say that Li Shang had walked the ’Demon Path’, cultivating to comprehend a single mystery of the Reincarnation Law.
It was obvious.
The ’Mysteries of the Law of Reincarnation’ that Li Shang comprehended were far inferior to those Xu Qing had comprehended. Li Shang had trod the ’Demon Path’.
Xu Qing, on the other hand, walked the grand and righteous path.
Furthermore,
within Xu Qing’s comprehension, if he could cultivate the ’Reincarnation Law’ to its ultimate Realm, he could carve out a space-time and establish a ’Little Underworld’.
Li Shang could not do that.
At most, he had only created a ’Reincarnation Ruins’.
In fact,
this was also why the Fengdu Deceitful King had cursed Li Shang for being a waste.
’I’ll keep going.’
Xu Qing wasn’t in a hurry to upgrade his Reincarnation Law. Instead, he continued to accumulate Experience Points for it. After reaching Level 9, he could now accumulate a total of 3.2 trillion Experience Points.
Generally speaking,
Xu Qing could accumulate one hundred billion Experience Points in about eleven days.
Time flew.
「One hundred and eighty days later.」
"Haaa..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath. With a thought, his consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things, and the corresponding information for his Reincarnation Law immediately appeared in his mind.
Also, by his calculations,
Xu Qing had been in seclusion for nearly a year.
...
[Reincarnation Law LV9: 3,200,000,000,000 / 256,000,000 (Upgradeable!) (...)]
...
’Not bad.’
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.
’Upgrade!’
HUMMM! HUMMM!
The Encyclopedia of All Things shimmered with a strong, fluorescent light.
Xu Qing’s consciousness seemed to be pulled into a mysterious space. Within this space, his consciousness transformed into Reincarnation itself, experiencing the true mysteries of the Six Paths of Reincarnation...
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Reincarnation Law LV10: 3,199,744,000,000 / 512,000,000 (Upgradeable!) (Comprehending the Reincarnation Law, you have completely mastered the first layer, the Hell Dao, and the second layer, the Hungry Ghost Dao. You have now entered the third layer of the Reincarnation Law, the ’Beast Dao.’ The ’Divine Skill: Hell Reincarnation’ has reached Perfection, the ’Divine Skill: Hungry Ghost Reincarnation’ has reached Perfection, and you have gained initial mastery of the ’Divine Skill: Beast Reincarnation.’ You have mastered ’forty percent’ of the Reincarnation Law. You have mastered the complete ’Power of Hell Reincarnation Law’ and the complete ’Power of Hungry Ghost Reincarnation Law,’ and have gained initial mastery of the ’Power of Beast Reincarnation Law.’)]
...
With another upgrade,
Xu Qing’s Cultivation had clearly risen to another level. His comprehension and mastery of the Reincarnation Law had reached ’forty percent’.
One could say
that with just another ten percent increase, he would reach the halfway mark.
Therefore,
Xu Qing’s Power of Law grew even stronger.
"Haaa..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath. Holding a Top-grade Law Stone, he began to absorb its Energy, starting his Meditation and circulating the Reincarnation Law.
Similarly,
there was no significant change in speed; he could still reach a rate of one million circulations every six seconds.
However,
the Energy consumption from the Top-grade Law Stone had once again increased significantly. But instead of a tenfold increase, it had only doubled.
This meant
a single Top-grade Law Stone could only be used for five days.
In about five days,
it would be completely drained of Energy.
’It doubled.’
Xu Qing’s expression was pensive. ’I thought it would increase tenfold again, but it only doubled. I didn’t expect that.’
On this day,
at night,
HUMMM!
Xu Qing opened his eyes. He sensed a connection and fluctuation from Ye Langtian. An invisible stream of light tore through the air before him—it was the light of a Divine Technique, visible only to Xu Qing and Ye Langtian.
SWOOSH!
The invisible stream of light formed a screen.
"Master."
Ye Langtian appeared on the screen, bowing to Xu Qing in respect.
"Mm."
Xu Qing looked up, his gaze calm. "What is it?"
"This subordinate has broken through."
Ye Langtian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "After the last incident, this subordinate used the Devouring Mighty Power of my Divine Technique to devour and absorb a Top-grade Law Stone."
"Finally,"
"I broke through a month ago, completing my Cultivation of the ’Devouring Demon Technique’s Third Secret Technique’. I then spent another month consolidating my Realm before contacting you, Master."
"You broke through."
A pleased expression appeared on Xu Qing’s face. "Good, good. This is indeed excellent news."
"Master."
Ye Langtian continued, "After breaking through, this subordinate used a ’Law Text Jade Scroll’ to completely record the Devouring Demon Technique’s Third Secret Technique."
"Excellent, excellent."
The joy on Xu Qing’s face intensified. "In that case, I will send Kaya and the others to meet you and bring back the Law Text Jade Scroll with the ’Devouring Demon Technique’s Third Secret Technique’."
"Yes."
Ye Langtian nodded respectfully.
「Three days later.」
Ye Langtian contacted Kaya and the others. It wasn’t until dusk that Kaya safely delivered the Law Text Jade Scroll containing the ’Devouring Demon Technique’s Third Secret Technique’ to Xu Qing.
Furthermore,
after Ye Langtian had perfected the Devouring Demon Technique’s Third Secret Technique and had just handed the Law Text Jade Scroll to Kaya, it wasn’t long before he was once again targeted by ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’.
And so,
Ye Langtian was once again dragged into ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’.
