Chapter 401 - 1: Breakthrough Again, Mid-stage Upper World I

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“My current cultivation level is already the limit of the early-stage Immortal King realm. I’m only half a step away from the mid-stage Immortal King realm. I’m almost within reach. I only need to settle down for a period of time before I can break through.”

A smile appeared on Qi Ming’s face. He was very satisfied with his gains this time.

After Qi Ming fused and absorbed a Dao Validation Dao Fruit, his improvement was relatively obvious, saving him countless years of bitter cultivation.

At this moment, figures broke through and stood behind Qi Ming. They were the Branch Masters of the Primordial Demon Sect and the Sect Master, Qing Feiyun.

When Qi Ming was in seclusion to cultivate and fuse the Dao Validation Dao Fruit, Qing Feiyun and the others had already arrived. However, when they saw him cultivating, they naturally did not dare to disturb him.

The World’s Freedom Buddha, Fang Ru, and the others were also guarding Qi Ming. No one dared to rashly approach and would be killed by Qi Ming’s immortal pets.

“You’re here.”

Qi Ming opened his eyes and sensed Qing Feiyun and the others. He turned around and clasped his hands behind his back, “How’s the current situation in the Nine Provinces Domain?”

“Junior Brother Qi Ming.” Qing Feiyun said bluntly, “The Epoch Calamity is already approaching the end. The Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, the Myriad Race Alliance, and the Dao Sect Alliance have basically all been defeated. The remaining factions of all sizes are not worth worrying about.”

“That’s right.”

“Our Primordial Demon Sect has already won.”

“Hahaha…”

“This was all done by Branch Master Qi Ming. He relied on his own strength to kill two cultivators in succession. Even the Nine Provinces Immortal Emperor was not his match.”

“Yes, yes!”

“It’s precisely because Branch Master Qi Ming is powerful that we relied on the power created by Branch Master Qi Ming to be invincible and defeat all our enemies in succession.”

“Branch Master Qi Ming, what should we do next?”

“Branch Master Qi Ming, please enlighten us!”

“…”

The Branch Masters of the Primordial Demon Sect said.

“Very good.”

Qi Ming was even more satisfied. He directly instructed, “Next, I need you to annex all the factions in the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, the Myriad Race Alliance, the Dao Sect Alliance, and so on. Unite the entire Nine Provinces Domain and rebuild order in the chaos. Only then can we transcend this Epoch Calamity.”

“Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Yes, Branch Master Qi Ming!”

“Understood.”

“…”

The Branch Masters of the Primordial Demon Sect replied.

Qi Ming’s prestige in the Primordial Demon Sect had already surpassed Qing Feiyun.

Even including Qing Feiyun, all the elders and disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect respected Qi Ming and listened to his orders.

Qing Feiyun had personally seen how powerful Qi Ming was. After killing two cultivators in succession, he was already convinced of Qi Ming’s strength.

In fact…

Qing Feiyun still felt that the Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s judgment was indeed unique. He saw through Qi Ming’s extraordinariness at a glance and let him assist him.

Qi Ming waved his hand, “Everyone, go and complete the unification as soon as possible to restore order.”

“Yes.” The World’s Freedom Buddha and the others quickly replied.

“Wait.” Qi Ming shouted at Qing Feiyun, the World’s Freedom Buddha, and the others.

“Master, is there anything else?” The World’s Freedom Buddha asked.

“Junior Brother, is there anything else?” Qing Feiyun also asked.

“Of course.” Qi Ming smiled.

He waved his right hand, and light flew out.

Energy surged violently.

Qi Ming took out all the Heavenly Dao treasures in his hand. In front of him floated Heavenly Dao treasures one after another. There were a total of ten Heavenly Dao treasures that emitted an extremely powerful aura.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Heavenly Creation Mirror were top-grade Postnatal Heavenly Dao treasures.

The Snake Ring of Fate, the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Jade Seal, the True Time Sword, the Heavenly King Divine Hammer, the Myriad Armor Treasure Robe, and the Thirty-six Gates were all high-grade Postnatal Heavenly Dao treasures.

The Spacetime Gate was a medium-grade Postnatal Heavenly Dao treasure.

The Heaven and Earth Universe Painting was a low-grade Postnatal Heavenly Dao treasure.

The Heavenly Dao treasure in Li Sheng’s hand was completely destroyed by Qi Ming, so it was difficult to repair. Although the Heavenly Dao treasure of the Nine Provinces Immortal Emperor was a little damaged and Qi Ming’s own Heavenly Dao treasure was also damaged, they were all repaired by Qi Ming.

“Take them all.” Qi Ming said, “Bring these Heavenly Dao treasures. If you encounter enemies that are difficult to deal with, you can use these.”

“Yes.” The World’s Freedom Buddha said.

“Okay.” Qing Feiyun was slightly delighted.

“Go.” Qi Ming waved his hand again.

In the blink of an eye, Qing Feiyun, the Branch Masters, Qi Ming’s twelve immortal pets, and the immortal realm servant army transformed into streaks of light and quickly left.

They headed to various places in the Nine Provinces Domain and reconstructed it according to Qi Ming’s instructions.

“Yes, not bad, not bad.”

Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction, “Next, I only need to stay on the Primordial Sacred Mountain and wait for the news. I no longer need to personally take action.”

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed.

In these thousand years, many things happened in the Nine Provinces. Qing Feiyun, the World’s Freedom Buddha, and the others followed Qi Ming’s instructions and experienced war after war to gradually take down the entire Nine Provinces Domain.

The Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, the Myriad Race Alliance, the Dao Sect Alliance, and the other factions of all sizes chose to submit and submit to the Primordial Demon Sect.

On this day, at noon.

Ding!

“Congratulations, host. The Chaos Great Dao Sword Lotus has been refined for 2,000 years under the enhancement of a quintillion times. It has already advanced to a top-grade Upper World Immortal King Treasure.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, host. The Chaos World Piercing Sword has been refined for 2,000 years under the enhancement of a quintillion times. It has already advanced to a top-grade Upper World Immortal King Treasure.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, host. The Chaos Buzhou Mountain has been refined for 2,000 years under the enhancement of a quintillion times. It has already advanced to a top-grade Upper World Immortal King Treasure.”

A smile appeared on Qi Ming’s face.

With a thought, he opened his mouth and spat out. Three streaks of light flew out of his mouth. They appeared outside and shone brightly. They were already enveloped in a dense chaotic fog and a faint Primordial Purple Light.

After Qi Ming’s intrinsic immortal treasures became top-grade Upper World Immortal King Treasures, their power had already increased many times. They were even stronger than ordinary Heavenly Dao treasures.

Another month passed.

Qi Ming’s entire body shook. He soared into the sky and sat cross-legged on the Primordial Sacred Mountain. He sat in the void and circulated his cultivation technique. A layer of Primordial Purple Light surrounded him.

The mark of the Great Dao appeared between Qi Ming’s brows. The Heart of the Great Dao Immortal King appeared from Qi Ming’s body and floated above his head, shining with a faint light.

Ding!

“Congratulations, host. The Chaos Great Dao Scripture: Upper World Immortal King Section of the Immortal Realm Chapter has been cultivated for a thousand years under the enhancement of a quintillion times. You have successfully broken through to the mid-stage Immortal King realm.”

A notification appeared.

“Open the inventory.”

With a thought, Qi Ming took out a large number of top-grade immortal crystals from his inventory. He circulated his cultivation method to absorb the energy of these top-grade immortal crystals and refined them.

In the surrounding void, strands of Primordial Purple Light descended like the traces of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and slowly surged into Qi Ming’s body before being refined and grasped by him.

It was obvious.

At the beginning, the Heart of the Great Dao Immortal King was only an illusion. It was not real and did not have a physical body. It was between illusion and reality. After breaking through to the mid-stage Immortal King realm, the Heart of the Great Dao Immortal King began to gradually condense.

Qi Ming absorbed and refined the energy of the top-grade immortal crystal and fused with the traces of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, turning into the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao and fusing with the Great Dao Immortal King’s Heart.

It was indeed gradually condensing.

Finally, when half of the Great Dao Immortal King’s heart condensed, Qi Ming completed his breakthrough. His aura rose greatly and his realm broke through. His cultivation level broke through from the early-stage Immortal King realm to the mid-stage Immortal King realm.

Next, Qi Ming consolidated his cultivation after breaking through.

A month later.

The consolidation was completed.

Ding!

“Detected that the host’s cultivation level has already broken through to the mid-stage Immortal King realm. The reward for clearing the early-stage Immortal King realm game dungeon: the Path of the Supreme Immortal King will be greatly reduced. You can charge a sextillion top-grade immortal crystals to open the new Immortal Realm game dungeon.”

A notification appeared.

“I’ll charge a sextillion top-grade immortal crystals.”

Ding!

“Charging successful.”

“New Immortal Realm game dungeon has been successfully activated: Heavenly Dao Immortal King Mystic Domain.”

“You can enter.”

A notification appeared.

“Enter.”

The corresponding game dungeon scene and scene appeared in front of Qi Ming. This was a Mystic Domain dungeon. It reflected the environment in front of him like the starry sky of the universe, filled with loneliness and mystery.

In this starry universe-like scene, there were nine planets that seemed to form a galaxy. However, they were actually connected to a line and did not have a sun-like star.

On these nine planets, there was an Upper World Immortal King who cultivated the Heavenly Dao. Every one of them protected a key.

He only needed nine Heavenly Dao keys to open the ultimate door of the Heavenly Dao Immortal King Mystic Domain and enter the mysterious region to obtain the corresponding gifts and rewards.

“Interesting.” Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, “I’m curious what the ultimate door of the Heavenly Dao Immortal King Mystic Domain is and what’s behind it?”

Ding!

“You can charge a sextillion top-grade immortal crystals to activate the Immortal Realm game dungeon immersion mode.”

A notification appeared.

“Charge.” Qi Ming said indifferently.

Ding!

“Charging successful.”

“Immortal Realm game dungeon immersion mode has been successfully activated!”

The notification had just appeared.

A total of a sextillion top-grade immortal crystals transformed into an extremely vast energy that surged into Qi Ming’s body smoothly and entered his mind. A wisp of consciousness separated from his main consciousness.

A wisp of consciousness that had been separated entered the Heavenly Dao Immortal King Mystic Domain.

Immediately after, Qi Ming needed to choose a game character.

There was only one game character in the Heavenly Dao Immortal King Mystic Domain, and that was the game character: Mystic Domain Challenger.

After consuming all the energy, in the blink of an eye, the game character: Mystic Domain Challenger had been successfully constructed. The wisp of consciousness that Qi Ming had split off fused with the game character he had created and entered the game dungeon, stepping into the Heavenly Dao Immortal King Mystic Domain.

The challenge had already begun.

In the game dungeon scene.

An intense battle erupted.

The game character that Qi Ming had transformed into defeated the Heavenly Dao Immortal Kings one after another.

Although the Heavenly Dao Immortal Kings guarding the nine planets was very strong, their exact strength was basically not much different from the Nine Provinces Immortal Emperor. Qi Ming used the Great Dao Finger and the Great Dao Hand and easily killed them. There was no difficulty at all.

All in all, in less than a day, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into had killed all the Upper World Immortal Kings guarding the nine planets and obtained nine different keys.

The nine keys were divided into nine colors: red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, black, and white.

Next, Qi Ming circulated his Dharmic powers and activated the nine keys in his hand. They turned into nine balls of light that soared into the sky. They surged with light and formed a ring that quickly spun and danced.

“Ultimate Door!” Qi Ming shouted, “Open!”

The ring formed by the nine keys transformed into a circular door that flickered with nine different lights. On the door was the word ‘Ultimate’.

Crack!!!

Slowly, the ultimate door opened.

Looking from the outside, it was pitch-black inside.

The game character that Qi Ming had transformed into entered this ultimate door. The environment inside was pitch-black, but there were different-colored light balls flying constantly like shooting stars.

“This is…” Qi Ming was stunned.

Ding!

“Congratulations, host. You have opened the Ultimate Door and entered the Ultimate Land. The light balls of different colors in front of you represent the Ultimate Light. Please capture the corresponding Ultimate Light in ten seconds.”

“Prompt: The larger the ball of light, the more dazzling it is. The stronger the Ultimate Light, the greater the benefits.”

In front of Qi Ming, the corresponding notifications and information appeared.

“Ultimate Land, Ultimate Light.” Qi Ming pondered and could not understand this at the moment, “What is this…”

Ding!

“Countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7…”

There was no time left.

“That’s it!”

At the last moment, Qi Ming locked onto an Ultimate Light. The light was extremely dazzling, and the ball of light was also very large. Although it was not the largest among the many balls of light, Qi Ming could vaguely sense it.

Most importantly…

The ten second countdown had already arrived.

Qi Ming reached out and grabbed this Ultimate Light. Purple light flashed and was extremely dazzling. In the purple light, there was a chaotic fog of light.

In an instant, a dazzling light enveloped Qi Ming’s entire body and filled the entire game dungeon scene.

Ding!

“Congratulations, host. You have successfully captured the Ultimate Light in the Ultimate Land. The Ultimate Light has fused into the AFK Farming Software. The AFK Farming Software is upgrading…”

“Estimated time to level up: 10,000 years!”

“Please wait patiently.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, host. You have successfully cleared the Upper World mid-stage Immortal King game dungeon: Heavenly Dao Immortal King Mystic Domain. Because the AFK Farming Software is being upgraded, the clearing reward will be calculated and distributed after the upgrade is completed…”

Ding!

“During the upgrade of the AFK Farming Software, all functions cannot be used.”

“This…”

Qi Ming looked at the notification that appeared in front of him and a surprised expression appeared on his face, “The Ultimate Light can upgrade the AFK Farming Software?”

“This is a good thing!”

“Although it needs ten thousand years, to me, ten thousand years is only the blink of an eye.”

“Then I can only wait for the AFK Farming Software to complete its upgrade in ten thousand years.”

Qi Ming pondered for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

Qing Feiyun, the Worldly Freedom Buddha, and the others returned to the Primordial Sacred Mountain.

The World’s Freedom Buddha said to Qi Ming, “We have already completed your instructions. We have united the Nine Provinces Domain and subdued all the factions. Moreover, we have established order.”

“Master, please preside over the situation now.”

“Junior Brother Qi.” Qing Feiyun said respectfully, “You’re the only one left.”

Qi Ming stood up and nodded, “Then let’s go.”
