Chapter 283 - 250: Breakthrough! Peak of Law Realm
「Three days later.」
Another mysterious expert arrived from the 9th Layer of the Cangzhou Prefecture. This mysterious expert was a Peak Refiner who wanted to exchange insights on Forging Techniques with Xu Qing.
Unfortunately,
Xu Qing had announced that he was in secluded Cultivation and would not be seeing any visitors. The mysterious expert couldn’t possibly force his way in while Xu Qing was in seclusion, so he had no choice but to give up.
Of course,
he wasn’t the only one who came looking for Xu Qing. In the time that followed, numerous top experts from the Cangzhou Prefecture came to find him.
Among them,
most were Refiners. Only a small fraction were powerful factions hoping to recruit Xu Qing, but he turned them all away at the door.
He was in secluded Cultivation and refused all visits.
Of course,
A Weapon Shop continued to sell one weapon each day. As the shop’s fame and reputation spread throughout most of the Cangzhou Prefecture,
you could say that
people were practically breaking their heads fighting over the single weapon A Weapon Shop offered daily. There were even vicious bidding wars.
Most importantly,
Xu Qing had upgraded a great deal of weapons and equipment. Since A Weapon Shop only sold one item per day, his inventory was more than enough to keep the shop running indefinitely.
Before long,
A Weapon Shop had already started selling ’Overlimit Spirit Pattern Artifacts’.
You have to understand,
’Overlimit Spirit Pattern Artifacts’ were not only powerful—even more so than Top-Grade Nine-Layered Spirit Pattern Artifacts—but also contained the mysteries of the ’Artifact Refining Law’.
This meant that
for any peak Artisan Spirit Master who had reached a bottleneck, every single ’Overlimit Spirit Pattern Artifact’ was a supreme treasure—a key that could guide them to a breakthrough and allow them to become a true Refiner.
Naturally,
they would fight madly for them.
Time flew.
In what felt like
the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
「On this day.」
「At noon.」
"Huuuu..."
Xu Qing opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath. Ripples of Law fluctuated within his gaze, and behind him, a pitch-black hole materialized.
Immediately after,
a phantasmal image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation emerged from within the black hole.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
The two merged into one,
producing an even more terrifying Mighty Power.
With a thought,
Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. The Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with a rather intense brilliance as the corresponding information appeared in his mind.
Over the past few years,
because he had a considerable number of Top-grade Law Stones, Xu Qing had been using their Energy for his Cultivation every day, allowing him to gain massive amounts of Experience Points.
Gradually,
Xu Qing had cultivated both the Reincarnation Law and the Devouring Demon Skill Three Secret Techniques to the ’Peak of Law Realm’. He had completely comprehended and mastered the ’Reincarnation Law’ and the ’Devouring Law’.
In addition,
Xu Qing had spent all his remaining time practicing his Divine Techniques, causing the Divine Power Jade Talismans he possessed to upgrade accordingly.
...

...
[Devouring Demon Skill Three Secret Techniques LV40: 0/2,097,152,000,000 (You have completely comprehended and mastered the ’Devouring Law’. ’Divine Technique: Heart Demon’ has reached Perfection, and ’Minor Divine Technique: Devouring’ has reached Perfection.)]
...
"Huuuu..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath, his expression calm as he pondered inwardly, ’I’ve completely comprehended and mastered both the Reincarnation Law and the Devouring Law.’
’This means...’
’I have now reached the peak of the "Third Realm: Law Realm".’
’I can be called a Venerable.’
He recalled that
back in Moon River Prefecture City, people thought that anyone who stepped into the ’Third Realm’ could be called a Venerable. They didn’t know that only those who had completely comprehended and mastered a Law, reaching the ’Peak of Law Realm’, were truly qualified to be called a Venerable.
Of course,
there were many things Xu Qing had only learned after arriving in Cangzhou Prefecture. The people of Moon River Prefecture City simply had too narrow a perspective.
It was only natural,
then, that some misconceptions would arise.
That was inevitable.
"However,"
Xu Qing said in a heavy voice, "I can’t even sense the slightest hint of the ’Fourth Realm’ right now. It’s as if reaching the peak of the ’Law Realm’ was only the true beginning of this realm."
"It’s as though there’s an insurmountable chasm between me and the ’Fourth Realm’."
"Also..."
Xu Qing frowned. "I’ve discovered something. According to the records of the Reincarnation Law, completely comprehending and mastering the Reincarnation Law actually means you’ve reached the very limit of ’Law’."
"Next..."
"to break through and step into the ’Fourth Realm,’ one must shatter the limits of ’Law,’ reverse life and death, comprehend life and death, and experience Reincarnation. Only then can one master the ’Reincarnation Law’."
"At that time,"
"as long as one successfully resurrects, they can Ascend to Heaven in One Step and enter the ’Fourth Realm’."
In reality,
Xu Qing felt that these descriptions from the Reincarnation Law were profound and mysterious, like trying to see flowers in a fog. He couldn’t see anything clearly, only a vague shadow.
It all seemed far too grandiose and empty.
’Could the ’Reincarnation Law’ be wrong?’
Xu Qing mused.
’Clearly,’
’Li Shang followed the records of the Reincarnation Law exactly. To shatter the limits of ’Law’, he actually buried himself alive, reversed life and death, comprehended life and death, experienced Reincarnation, and lived a new life.’"
’Most importantly,’
’Li Shang was just one step away from success.’
’If not for my appearance, he would have successfully resurrected. He would have truly used his own fortune, along with the Dynasty’s National Fortune, to Ascend to Heaven in One Step and enter the "Fourth Realm".’
’Unfortunately,’
’a near miss is still a miss.’
"But,"
Xu Qing’s expression was contemplative, "in the Devouring Demon Skill Three Secret Techniques, after completely comprehending and mastering the Devouring Demon Technique, it doesn’t say you reach the limit of ’Law’."
"It would be more accurate to say..."
"that this is almost equivalent to the beginning of the ’Third Realm’."
"According to the Devouring Demon Technique and various other records,"
"a cultivator at the Peak of Law Realm who has mastered between one and eight Laws—in other words, fewer than nine Laws—is generally known as an Ordinary Peak of Law Realm cultivator."
"Also known as an Ordinary Venerable."
"After that,"
"a cultivator at the Peak of Law Realm who has mastered between nine and thirty-five Laws, meaning fewer than thirty-six, is called a Great Venerable.
"One who has mastered from thirty-six to seventy-one Laws, fewer than seventy-two, is called a Great Success Venerable."
"One who has mastered from seventy-two to one hundred and seven Laws, fewer than one hundred and eight, is called a Venerable Great Power."
"Finally,"
"mastering ’One Hundred and Eight Types’ of Laws is the true limit of the Third Realm. This is called a Venerable Ultimate. Only after reaching this limit can one nurture a ’Law’ from within their ’Laws’."
"Only then..."
"does one have a chance to step into the ’Fourth Realm’."
From this, it was clear that
the method recorded in the Reincarnation Law—relying solely on mastering the one Reincarnation Law, reversing life and death, comprehending life and death, and experiencing Reincarnation to achieve a breakthrough—was indeed a fool’s dream. It could truly be called ’Ascending to Heaven in One Step’.
