Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens.

Chapter 42 Reversing the Eight Wheels, Comprehending Space

As the brilliance of the Zhutian Pavilion receded like the tide, and his realm upgrade was complete, Xu Qing's consciousness sank into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"What is this?" Xu Qing frowned slightly.

At this moment, a surging pool of thunder appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was clearly a sign of the ultimate realm of spiritual cultivation.

However, his soul remained in its original divine state and did not contain a spiritual body.

"Without spirit, can this still be considered the Spirit Gathering Realm?"

Xu Qing lightly tapped her brow with her fingertips, a look of doubt in her eyes.

"Is this considered the Soul Nourishing Realm? Is it because my soul is so powerful that I can directly advance without needing spiritual energy?"

After thinking it over, Xu Qing muttered to himself again:

"Perhaps the Heavenly Decree chose the best foundation."

Success or failure both depend on it.

Even when visualizing the spirit of an emperor or the spirit of an innate god or demon, its power has its limits.

For example, visualizing the Emperor Spirit and making one's own spirit become the Emperor Spirit has immense benefits in the early stages, allowing one's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds and one's foundation to become extremely solid. At its peak, one can cultivate to the Emperor level, but surpassing it becomes extremely difficult and arduous.

The Heavenly Emperor represented by the Emperor Spirit is an insurmountable obstacle; it is virtually impossible to surpass the achievements of that Emperor.

Although the Great Emperor's power is vast and boundless, with a single cycle within his body forming a galaxy, its power even surpassing the boundaries of the primordial universe, it is an unimaginable existence.

Even the strongest being in the universe, within the primordial universe, could only radiate power over a range of a few hundred light-years.

However, with the Zhutian Pavilion at his disposal, the Great Emperor is still too low a goal for Xu Qing.

Now, Xu Qing's soul is spirit, and spirit is soul, but it is not subject to such restrictions.

In this way, he directly bypassed the Transformation Realm, which requires the unity of soul and spirit.

"The next step is to break through to the Opening Wheel Realm."

brush!
As the power of the Zhutian Pavilion descended once more, a vision resembling Pangu creating chaos appeared in Xu Qing's mind!

The Dao Yi Secret Realm in his mind was opened up, and the Pangu deity sat within it.

Then comes the Yin-Yang Secret Realm in the eyes, followed by the Divine Talent Secret Realm in the throat, heart, and navel, the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm in the limbs and bones, and the Five Elements Secret Realm in the five internal organs.

There's still the final Bloodline Secret Realm!
Countless densely packed totem-patterned chains lit up instantly, so small that Xu Qing could barely see them.

Because every atom, even every elementary particle, and every neutrino in his body is covered with this totem-like chain, which transforms into the six paths of reincarnation that seal his bloodline.

"The Black Emperor's bloodline seal?"

Xu Qing was startled.

During the transaction, they even traded for something like this.

But amidst the radiance of the Heavenly Pavilion, these countless tiny totem patterns vanished instantly, turning to ashes.

All potential hazards have been eliminated.

Not only that, even the Fuxi bloodline that had been unlocked in Xu Qing's body was severed!
The moment after the cleaning was completed, Xu Qing's vast, ocean-like blood energy pierced into the origin of the Bloodline Secret Realm, instantly opening the secret realm!

The six secret realms transformed into six radiant wheels, which are the Lesser Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Just when Xu Qing thought it was over, countless secret realms within his body opened up, transforming once again into a halo of light.

The seventh cycle of reincarnation!
The next moment, an aura of time emerged and transformed into a halo of light within Xu Qing's body once again.

The eighth cycle of reincarnation, reversing the eight cycles!

Upon seeing this, Xu Qing sensed the secret realm within his body.

"what?"

With a soft exclamation, Xu Qing discovered that this seventh secret realm was not the one opened up by Feng Xiaozhong and listed as an orthodox Chen Su secret realm.

"This is a spatial secret realm?! And the eighth cycle of reincarnation is the cosmic light secret realm?"

Xu Qing was deeply shaken. The enhancements from the Zhutian Pavilion far exceeded his expectations. Not only were the seals and curses removed, but even his bloodline was severed, eliminating all hidden dangers. With just the advancement to the Wheel Opening stage, he had opened up the eighth cycle of reincarnation.

Why is there such a big difference between this and strengthening other systems?

Xu Qing thought about it carefully and realized that this was in line with the logic of the Zhutian Pavilion's strengthening.

Unlike the cultivation systems of most worlds, the myriad beings within the supreme human realm possess countless secret realms and do not have a fixed cultivation system with fixed levels.

In a system like this, where each realm comes with a pitfall, one cannot advance to the highest realm without developing it to its extreme.

The Zhutian Pavilion must elevate this system to its ultimate level in order to ensure his advancement.

In comparison, the Heavenly Pavilion's approach to strengthening stable systems like mental power and soul techniques is more casual; as long as they reach the level required for advancement, that's sufficient. Thinking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help but smile wryly.
"What kind of nonsense is this? Is a complete cultivation system less useful to me than an incomplete one?"

"That's really fucking ridiculous."

…………

……

One day later.

Wow!
In the Pacific Ocean, a calm sea suddenly surged with waves thousands of feet high, crashing onto the surface and creating a massive tsunami.

Seeing this, the seven halos behind Xu Qing slowly disappeared, and he simply shook his head.

That was just now when he was experimenting with the power of the Secret Realm Technique.

However, although he opened the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, making him dozens of times stronger than an ordinary person in the Opening Wheel Realm, this power was still far inferior to mental power and divine soul.

Without the Great Dao of Reincarnation, although the eight minor reincarnation paths have all been opened and are interconnected, only seven reincarnation paths can be used at most.

That stingy guy, Xin Huo, wouldn't even hand over his supernatural powers to me. He's really stingy.

However, opening the Eight Paths of Reincarnation also has many benefits, as the various systems within his body are fused with the power of the Heavenly Pavilion.

Having opened two cycles of reincarnation—the Spatial Secret Realm and the Cosmic Light Secret Realm—and possessing 16,000 thoughts, Xu Qing, who was only at the first level of the Stellar Realm, was now able to faintly perceive some of the mysteries of the laws of time and space.

"It's time to try out these things I've learned."

brush!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the space around Xu Qing suddenly distorted, and he transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky!

Like an asteroid crashing down, a thousand-foot wave exploded beneath his feet, a sharp whooshing sound tore through the atmosphere, and the violent air blast was enough to kill a king-level monster. Countless wisps of air were expelled, forming a vacuum corridor several kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long behind Xu Qing!
He was moving so fast that even satellites couldn't see him.

hum!
A sharp, piercing sound tore through the sky, and the atmosphere was instantly pierced through like a fragile sheet of paper under the powerful impact.

Two figures burst out of the clouds; it was actually two Xu Qings simultaneously rushing out of outer space!

It wasn't an illusion created by excessive speed. If someone used their telekinetic power to scan it, they would find that both Xu Qings were real.

This is an illusion; the movement of the body caused space to distort, creating two bodies.

Seeing that the experiment was successful, Xu Qing stopped again.

As they stopped, the two Xu Qings turned back into one.

"Xu Qing, you...you've advanced to the Stellar level? And you just used an illusionary form?"

Startled by Xu Qing's actions, the little devil's pupils dilated in shock as Babata's figure appeared on his wristband.

He was completely stunned, staring at Xu Qing, his mind filled with the scene from just now, unable to believe it.

The scan results showed that Xu Qing had actually reached the first level of the stellar level?

Just two days ago, Xu Qing was a ninth-level apprentice. How did he suddenly become a first-level stellar-level expert? And he even used an illusionary body?!
Xu Qing used up all those Wood Crystals so quickly?

The amount of wood crystals he gave Xu Qing was just enough to advance Xu Qing to the first level of the Stellar Realm.

Xu Qing simply nodded upon hearing this.

"This...this is a special life form?!" Babata's voice trembled upon hearing this.

Even the geniuses he had seen, even with the Wood Crystal, could not improve in this way.

As an intelligent life form of immortal deity at the Marquis level, having traveled through the universe for 60 million years, Babata had only occasionally heard descriptions of some special life forms. He only knew that such existences were incredibly powerful, and knew almost nothing else.

But he never expected it to be this incredible.

Two days spanning two major phases?
No wonder Xu Qing behaved so differently from these Earth natives!
But realm isn't the most important thing; what's important is that Xu Qing just used his illusionary form.

Using the illusionary body is no longer simply about speed; it's about comprehending the laws of space!

If he weren't an intelligent life form, he would have almost fainted from joy.

Even beings many times stronger than Hu Yanbo, who have mastered the laws of space at the first level of the stellar level, would be eager to take Xu Qing as their disciple immediately.

Throughout the entire human realm, across hundreds of billions of star systems, and countless trillions of stars within ten thousand years, Babata, who had followed Huyanbo for sixty million years, had only ever heard of such a genius, never actually seen one.

Boss, you actually managed to get such a disciple after you died...

Thinking of this, Babata, as an intelligent life form, was already in tears, as if he could see Huyanbo's gratified smile.

Xu Qing looked at the little devil who was so excited that he was "tears welling up in his eyes," and helplessly rubbed his forehead, feeling like he was comforting a fool.

Damn, when will this clown finally fix the spaceship...?
