Chapter 11: Half-step to the Third Realm Chapter 20: Half-step to the Third Realm (Part 1)
The three inheritances he obtained in Yuhuo City last time, the "Nine Strategies of Extermination" and "Void Abyss" of the Heart Realm, he comprehended very smoothly and made rapid progress. However, it was extremely difficult to make progress in the "Star Abyss Notes" for physical cultivation.
"I have been focusing on the mind realm over the years, and I have the deepest accumulation in this area. I don't have much accumulation in the physical body, so it is normal that I make slow progress." Xu Jingming will not give up easily.
"There are three aspects of the Heart Realm that I am good at. Among them, the Red Lotus Fire, I have already reached the Nine-Leaf Black Lotus Realm and cannot break through the last level. According to the description of the inheritance, I need to go to the abyss and carefully observe the real Abyss Red Lotus to understand the Abyss Red Lotus Picture." Xu Jingming pondered.
“When it comes to illusions, I am indeed very talented.” Xu Jingming himself admired his talent. Back then, relying on the ordinary “Three Lines of the Heart Realm” method and the guidance of the illusions in the “Eight Directions Diagram”, Xu Jingming was able to use illusions to trap Yu Fangtuo for some time when he just entered the Eternal Realm.
"The core of the inheritance of "Urobuchi" is to build an illusory abyss. Illusions are the best."
"I have inherited the 'Xuyuan' and have made great progress in illusion. I am only one step away from the third realm. I believe that with more years of accumulation, it will not be difficult to break through." Xu Jingming is very confident.
"It's a spiritual weapon..."
Xu Jingming frowned slightly. "With the spear technique on the silver paper as a guide and the Nine Strategies of Extermination as an aid, the accumulation of spiritual weapons is the deepest, but why can't I break through?"
I always feel that it is very close, but I just can't really touch it. It has been like this for more than ten thousand years.
Xu Jingming suddenly looked up into the distance, and following the cause and effect, he saw his family members.
…
Inside a spaceship.
In one of the cabins, a huge transparent glass allowed Xu's mother inside the cabin to clearly see the brilliant nebula outside. Xu's mother sat in front of the drawing board, watching the nebula and painting carefully at the same time.
Xu Jingming appeared in the cabin quietly, stood aside, and watched his mother painting.
The mother's ability to observe and think had all reached the tenth level, and her painting skills had been enhanced over the long years. Even Xu Jingming was amazed by this painting.
"So beautiful." Xu Jingming looked at it.
Xu Jingming has seen real nebulae countless times, but the nebulae painted by his mother have a breathtaking beauty.
Xu's mother was concentrating on painting, sometimes looking up to watch, sometimes lowering her head to paint seriously. It took more than an hour before she stopped with satisfaction. Only then did Xu Jingming stop holding his breath.
"Huh?" Mother Xu turned around and asked with a surprised smile, "How long have you been here, kid?"
"I watched it for about an hour and a half." Xu Jingming said with a smile .
"You are a busy person and your time is so precious. Why do you watch me, your mother, paint for an hour and a half?" When Xu's mother saw her son, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
Xu Jingming boasted: "I have seen so many paintings, and yours is the most beautiful one I have ever seen."
"Stop bragging." Xu's mother smiled and looked at the scenery outside the window. This was a spaceship she had specially modified. Ordinary spaceships were all scene simulations! Xu's mother had replaced it with an absolutely transparent material, so she could see the outside scenery more clearly.
"Mom, weren't you painting in the virtual world before? Why are you always in reality now?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Virtual is virtual after all. It is different from the real thing." said .
Xu Jingming was surprised: "Can you tell the difference between the virtual world and the real world?"
This is a legacy from the scientific lineage that created the virtual world network. The virtuality is very high! Judging from the scenery alone, even a tenth-order source life form cannot tell the difference.
"I, your mother, have also been painting all my life." Xu's mother smiled. "In the early years, I painted in the virtual world. Later, I gradually discovered that the scenery in reality... has soul. The scenery in the virtual world lacks something."
"Is there a soul?" Xu Jingming thought thoughtfully.
"Works with soul are different." Mother Xu looked at her own paintings and said, "My skills are still lacking. I want to work hard to draw out the soul, but it is still far from enough."
Xu Jingming was not sure what kind of soul was in the eyes of the painter's mother.
This is obviously not the "spiritual will" of the mind realm, because the scenery in reality is not a living being and has no spiritual will.
"When I was with your father, we traveled around the world. Your father liked to visit various fighting schools around the world. At that time, he made little money and had high expenses." Xu's mother said with a smile, "So I took a lot of orders and kept drawing. At that time, the partners urged me to work hard. I almost vomited from drawing. At that time, I became depressed when I saw the drawing board. But I had to make money at that time."
Xu Jingming also knew that his father didn't make much money.
"Later, your grandfather took out some money and bought the old villa, and we finally settled in Mingyue City." Mother Xu smiled and said, "With your father's temper, I don't know when he will be able to save enough money to buy a house."
"But it was normal for parents to help buy a house at that time." Mother Xu looked at the cabin next door, "Look, your father is still obsessed with his Baji. He even built a virtual game world called 'Baji World' and set a huge bounty to encourage countless people to learn Baji and perfect it."
"It's a good thing to have a hobby," said Xu Jingming.
Xu's mother nodded: "You don't need to worry about money. Painting is still very interesting. Paint when you have inspiration, and stop when you don't have inspiration."
"Mom, what else do you do besides painting?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Me? I have many hobbies." Mother Xu was talkative. "We have a lot of delicious food on our Blue Planet, and the human race in the entire universe has countless delicious food. You know, I was the one who cooked for my family back then. I am very interested in cooking... I want to learn how to cook one dish after another. When I make delicious food by myself and taste it, I feel happy. This is different from eating food made by others."
"Also, I have formed a painters' union. We often get together and even paint together. We also auction some paintings..." While Xu's mother was chatting, Xu Jingming was listening with a smile on his face.
…
Xu Jingming chatted with his mother for a long time and did not disturb his father. His father was a martial madman. He reached the eighth level with the help of the evolution guide, and later became a source life with external forces.
But I still don't give up my love for Baji.
"Grandpa's business is getting bigger and bigger." Xu Jingming also learned about his grandfather's recent situation. Over the past 30,000 years, his grandfather started from a live broadcast company and has grown it bigger and bigger. It can be said to be a giant enterprise ranked among the top three "entertainment companies" in the virtual world network.
However, Grandpa made a rule that his company, first, focused on virtual world entertainment and did not involve reality. Second, did not hire members of the Xu family. This made many people in the Xu family think that this ancestor was too old-fashioned, and of course no one dared to say it publicly.
"Whether it is the Limu Group or the business run by my parents, there are some troubles. But the business run by my grandfather is the cleanest." Xu Jingming has been observing for more than 30,000 years.
I have to admit that in the entire Xu family, my grandfather is the one with management talent. The others, including myself, Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Xu's father and mother...are far inferior to my grandfather in company management.
Even though the Xu family has grown to hundreds of millions of people, there are very few who can match my grandfather's business acumen.
My grandfather achieved such success, on the one hand because he was a business genius, and on the other hand because he was Xu Jingming’s grandfather.
"My great grandson, I am just playing around with you! Your cultivation to become a higher-dimensional life is the right path." Grandpa was always happy every time he saw Xu Jingming.
…
Academy of Space Human Sciences.
Li Miaomiao is acting as an assistant, and together with five other assistants, they are following a great scholar to create high-dimensional weapons.
"Success." Li Miaomiao and several other assistants showed joy.
"This is just an ordinary high-dimensional weapon, used by some source life forms." The great scholar was very calm and said with a smile, "This kind of weapon is garbage in front of high-dimensional life forms! It is worthless! But the fact that you can make it shows that you have truly mastered the knowledge I taught you."
Xu Jingming had already appeared nearby, but he didn't want others to see him, so no one could see him.
This kind of ordinary high-dimensional weapon was created, on the one hand, to train scholars in the scientific field and give them the opportunity to take action, and on the other hand, to allow the tenth-level source life to clearly feel the high-dimensional power.
"Everyone can go back and rest." The scholar said and turned away.
Li Miaomiao and several assistants also dispersed and left.
"Miao Miao." Xu Jingming said.
Li Miaomiao was startled. Several assistants didn't notice and had already walked away.
"Why are you here?" Li Miaomiao looked at her husband with a smile.
"How does it feel to be in the Academy of Sciences?" Xu Jingming asked.
"After all, I was promoted to a tenth-order source life form by external forces. With my brain ability, I can still be an assistant." Li Miaomiao said with a smile, "I didn't affect the operation of the Academy of Sciences."
Xu Jingming didn't mind.
After all, the significance of science to the human race has declined. In the past, it was for the purpose of better utilizing forbidden weapons, but now forbidden weapons are no longer the core foundation of the human race.
The foundation of the human race is Xu Jingming, who has the ability to suppress the Five Demon Stars!
After receiving the inheritance of the third realm, the dean and his colleagues put aside their incomplete scientific lineage and focused on inheritance, all hoping to reach the half-step third realm one day.
Moreover, the scientific heritage obtained by the human race is incomplete. Over the long years till now, no one in the human race has been able to become a higher-dimensional life through the "scientific heritage".
Although Yuhuoshan has the third level of "scientific inheritance", it can only be learned once, and even if you learn it, you can't pass it on. Unless you comprehend it to a very high level, you can pass on what you have comprehended.
Obviously Xu Jingming and the others were unwilling to be distracted for the time being.
The Academy naturally agreed with his wife coming to be an assistant. A tenth-level source life form being an assistant would not be a drag, and they also hoped that Xu Jingming could give them some resources from the Academy.
"I never realized that you like science so much." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"Not like it."
Li Miaomiao looked at her husband and said, "I want to learn more about higher-dimensional power."
Xu Jingming was stunned.
"The Xu family's little guys are approaching the end of their lifespans," Li Miaomiao said. "I can still live for a long time, but no matter what, the limit of low-dimensional life is 100,000 years. Jingming, you are a high-dimensional life."
Li Miaomiao looked at her husband with complicated eyes: "I want to understand high-dimensional power from different angles, and even hope to master it. I hope that one day I can become a high-dimensional life by chance. Of course, I also know that the possibility is so low that it can be ignored."
"But if you don't try, there's no hope. If you try, there's always a glimmer of hope." Li Miaomiao smiled, "Just like when I was devoted to practicing swordsmanship, didn't I become a starry sky life?"
Xu Jingming hugged his wife gently.
Li Miaomiao said softly: "Seeing many of my peers and juniors die, I thought of myself. I want to be with you longer, so I study high-dimensional power, but reason tells me... once the deadline comes, it will be impossible for a low-dimensional life like me to survive."
