Chapter 230: Chapter 211: Suppressing the Dragon Elephant Sect, Seizing the 6th Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment, and Heading to Jixia Academy

"I shall take my leave."

WHOOM!

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, he took a step forward. His figure transformed into a streak of black light and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Evidently.

Xu Qing had accomplished his goal. He had obtained the Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment from the Dragon Elephant Sect, and now only the fragments from the Ninefold Immortal Sect, Jixia Academy, and the Moon River Martial Sect remained.

"Sect Leader, are we just going to give the Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment to that Great Demon?"

Just then, 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

a Supreme Elder asked in a low voice.

"What else could we do?"

The Dragon Elephant Sect Leader glared at the Supreme Elder and said in a heavy voice, "Are you suggesting we should have gone to war with him? Could you have defeated him?"

"You truly don’t know your own limits."

"Haaa..."

The Dragon Elephant Sect Leader took a deep breath. "I have long known that we could not hold on to the Inheritance Stone Tablet from the Reincarnation Ruins."

"Back then,"

"when we were on the final level of the Reincarnation Ruins, we were already thoroughly ensnared by the Master of Reincarnation Ruins’ schemes. We were no match for him at all."

"You could say,"

"we were certain to die back then. There was no way we could have survived."

"But at the last moment, a mysterious expert appeared. Using a Dharma Artifact that countered the ’Reincarnation Heart Demon,’ he suppressed the power of the Master of Reincarnation Ruins, which gave us a chance to breathe."

"And as you know,"

"even so, despite giving our all and using every trick we had, the Master of Reincarnation Ruins still managed to revive in the end."

"I was able to possess this Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment for over three years and study it for that long. I’ve made some gains, so it was well worth it."

"I will not get involved in what happens next."

"The Sect Leader is right."

"Indeed!"

"..."

The Supreme Elders all chimed in at once.

After receiving the sixth Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment from the Dragon Elephant Sect Leader, Xu Qing returned to Moon River Prefecture City and went back to his residence.

Inside the courtyard house.

In the bedroom.

SWISH!

Xu Qing took out the half-completed Inheritance Stone Tablet, which had been formed from five fragments, as well as the sixth Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment.

CLICK!

A connection formed between the two, creating a mutual attraction. The sixth Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment fitted itself onto the half-tablet.

VMMMMMM!

The half-tablet grew larger and more complete, containing even greater wonders and deeper mysteries.

’I’ll have to record it again,’

Xu Qing thought.

With a thought, Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things.

WHOOM!

The Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with a faint golden radiance. A flash of faint golden light also passed over the now mostly-complete Inheritance Stone Tablet, and then a series of images appeared before Xu Qing’s eyes.

In the images,

Xu Qing saw a blurry figure exuding a terrifying aura. An aura of Law emanated from its entire body.

Then,

the figure, radiating an aura of Law, lowered its head. It took out a square, black stone tablet and began carving it with the power of Law.

Before long,

the carving of the square, black stone tablet was complete.

With a flash,

the scene changed again.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The square, black stone tablet lay quietly in the deepest part of the Reincarnation Ruins, having now become the ’Inheritance Stone Tablet’. Inscribed upon this ’Inheritance Stone Tablet’ was the complete Reincarnation Law.

Suddenly,

a great battle erupted on the final level of the Reincarnation Ruins. At the last moment, a blurry figure shattered the ’Inheritance Stone Tablet’ into nine fragments.

Here, the images came to an end.

...

[Recording Successful!]

[Reincarnation Law (Incomplete) Level 1: 0/1,000,000 (The ’Inheritance Stone Tablet’ from the Reincarnation Ruins. This ’Inheritance Stone Tablet’ completely records the Magic Gate of the ’Reincarnation Law’. However, because you only possess two-thirds of the Inheritance Stone Tablet, the ’Pattern Technique’ is incomplete. It is a fragment, containing only two-thirds of the Pattern Technique, making it difficult to comprehend and difficult to cultivate.)]

...

WHOOM! WHOOM!

The next moment,

Xu Qing entered a wondrous and unparalleled state, as if receiving a sudden enlightenment, comprehending and grasping two-thirds of the ’Reincarnation Law’.

"Haaa..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. ’An incomplete Pattern Technique cannot be cultivated. If I were to forcibly cultivate the incomplete Pattern Technique, it would cause unimaginable mutations. Even if I managed to step into the ’Third Realm’ by relying on the incomplete Pattern Technique, it would leave behind indelible future troubles. I might even end up becoming a part of the universe’s Laws, assimilated by the Laws themselves.’

’So,’

Xu Qing thought gravely, ’even with the help of the Encyclopedia of All Things, I must collect the ’Reincarnation Law’ in its entirety. I absolutely cannot cultivate an incomplete ’Reincarnation Law’.’

’In that case,’

’the next target is ’Jixia Academy’.’

「The next morning.」

Xu Qing was already awake, his expression calm. With a thought, he took out the Level 20 Evil Ghost Mask, and his face and aura changed.

This time,

Xu Qing once again transformed into the image of one of the Eight Immortals, ’Lv Dongbin’.

CLANG!

A few sword cries rang out.

The Level 20 Iron Sword, the Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword, and the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword transformed into three streaks of Sword Light. They appeared around Xu Qing, slowly swimming through the Void.

Moreover,

with a wave of his right hand, Xu Qing took out the Level 20 Academy Ruler. The moment he grasped the Academy Ruler, an incredibly dense Vast Righteous Qi emerged from his body.

SWOOSH!

His figure tore through the air.

Xu Qing soared into the air with his hands behind his back, moving at extreme speed. His gaze was fixed on the sky above the Central District of Moon River Prefecture City. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a blinding streak of light and tore through the sky, arriving at the entrance of Jixia Academy.

’I’m here.’

Xu Qing’s expression was calm. He gazed at Jixia Academy, which was a collection of towering academies. Its main gate was majestic and imposing, emitting a wave of Vast Righteous Qi that washed over him.

It could be said,

this was the first time Xu Qing had directly faced the power of the Confucian Path.

"Fall!"

Without hesitation,

Xu Qing slowly raised his right hand, which was, of course, holding the Level 20 Academy Ruler. He pointed it directly at Jixia Academy before him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

At that moment,

Xu Qing unleashed the power of the Level 20 Academy Ruler to its absolute extreme. An endless torrent of the Confucian Path’s Literary Qi and Vast Righteous Qi surged out from the Level 20 Academy Ruler, manifesting as Wen Mountain and the Sea of Literature.

Wen Mountain consisted of nine peaks, and the Sea of Literature was a boundless ocean.

Furthermore,

with the Level 20 Academy Ruler as the epicenter, an incredibly powerful and terrifying ’Literary Realm’ and ’Spirit Realm’ were released, suppressing the entirety of Jixia Academy.

ROAR!!!

The next moment,

Jixia Academy reacted violently. A similarly endless torrent of the Confucian Path’s Literary Qi and Vast Righteous Qi surged forth, evolving into a great dragon of Literary Energy that let out a series of draconic roars.

CRASH!

With a tremendous crash,

the dragon of Literary Energy formed by Jixia Academy slammed into the Wen Mountain and Sea of Literature created by the Level 20 Academy Ruler. The two forces collided, creating a terrifyingly loud explosion.

"Suppress!"

BOOM!

Xu Qing snorted coldly and unleashed even more of the Level 20 Academy Ruler’s power. Wen Mountain and the Sea of Literature bore down, crushing Jixia Academy’s dragon of Literary Energy.

The dragon of Literary Energy let out a wail of agony and exploded into a sky full of brilliant light.

CRACK! CRACK!

And so,

the Level 20 Academy Ruler in Xu Qing’s hand descended, unleashing a terrifying destructive force. Jixia Academy’s main gate shattered, covered in countless cracks.

Moreover,

above the main gate was a plaque. The plaque had the two words ’Jixia Academy’ written on it, and this very plaque had been personally inscribed by a Great Scholar of the Great Zhou Martial Country.

Now,

this plaque had been struck by Xu Qing’s Level 20 Academy Ruler, leaving a crack across its surface.

"How audacious!"

"Who dares to do such a thing at Jixia Academy?"

"..."

VMM! VMM! VMM!!!

Finally,

one after another, extremely powerful auras erupted from within Jixia Academy. Each one had reached the Extraordinary Extreme of the Confucian Path’s Second Realm.

In an instant,

figures appeared one by one in front of Xu Qing.

Every one of them was filled with fury.
