Chapter 6: The Road to the Ninth Order Chapter 15: Journey to the Peak of the Universe
The world of demons.
Xu Jingming was in a restaurant, enjoying delicious food and fine wine.
"Not bad, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." Xu Jingming gnawed on the bone meat and drank a bowl of wine. The hot and spicy taste rushed straight to his brain, and he felt extremely comfortable. "It's so good."
Putting down the bone in his hand, Xu Jingming suddenly fell silent.
He looked at the food and wine, most of which had been eaten.
"Normally at this time, Uncle Qi would drink with me and happily talk to me about the quality of this restaurant." Xu Jingming thought, "But now, no matter how good the food and wine are, I am the only one here."
After more than ten years of living together day and night, Xu Jingming has long been familiar with the existence of his seventh uncle.
"When alone, I feel that the wine and meat have lost their flavor." Xu Jingming turned his head and looked at the people coming and going on the street outside the window.
It has been three days since Uncle Seventh left. Xu Jingming lives alone in the inn, eats and drinks alone, and walks around the city alone. He doesn't even have anyone to talk to or discuss things with.
Even the most beloved food and wine have lost their taste.
“Wow.”
A figure appeared beside the table. It was Gu Shan. He smiled and greeted, "Junior brother."
"Senior Brother Gushan." Xu Jingming also smiled, "Have you refined the devil's obsession?"
"Li Jinge is, after all, a demon who has broken through the limits of the demon world. His obsession is so firm." Gu Shan said, "To refine his obsession, it takes time and effort, and only then will there be some hope. Most demons of this level of obsession fail after spending decades, and eventually the demon's obsession dissipates because the deadline has come."
Xu Jingming nodded.
It was normal. After refining a demon named Yu Xin, he felt that the other party's obsession was as hard to shake as a rock. He could not see the hope of refining in a short time. Not to mention Li Jinge, whose obsession was even more terrifying.
"Even if we fail, there will be gains," said Xu Jingming.
"Yes." Gu Shan smiled and nodded, "If someone has such an obsession, there must be something to learn. By the way, Junior Brother, I have released Li Jinge."
"Release?" Xu Jingming was stunned.
"Um."
Gu Shan nodded, "I have been refining the demon in my mind and fighting against its obsession, and I have gained something. I am now fully confident of breaking through to the source of life! I am ready to completely give up the demon-suppressing world, so I decided to give him a way out."
"He has great potential. Let him go out and hone his skills. Perhaps, he will be of benefit to you in the future." Gu Shan said, "Of course, you must become a demon-suppressing person of the ninth level before you can try to refine him."
"He is estimated to only have a few decades to live." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "Brother, do you think I can reach the ninth level within a few decades?"
"That's hard to say." Gu Shan smiled, "You have created a great magical power in just over ten years."
Among all the junior brothers and sisters, Junior Brother Wu Ming has the highest talent.
"I am ready to leave the Demon-Slaying World completely. Junior brother, is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Shan asked.
"No need." Xu Jingming shook his head, "In fact, I also plan to leave the Demon Subduing World."
"You're leaving too?" Gu Shan was surprised.
"Um."
Xu Jingming nodded. "I think the Demon Subduing World can only help me to a limited extent in the short term. I have not been able to refine the Heavenly Demon Yu Xin that I captured. Perhaps, I need to try another method."
"That's right." Gu Shan nodded. "Generation after generation of rank eight star life forms have explored and found many ways to improve their spiritual power. Although the Demon Subduing World is recognized as the best method, that is for the general public. If it is targeted at individuals... perhaps other methods can also be effective."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Everyone is unique.
The Demon-Subduing World has a good overall effect. But is the one that suits you best? Must it be the Demon-Subduing World? Not necessarily!
Since I am in the demon-suppressing world and am temporarily stuck, I can try another method.
"Have you thought about what method to choose?" Gu Shan asked.
"No rush." Xu Jingming smiled and said, "The road to evolution is slow. I also have to congratulate my senior brother. After a thousand years, he finally got what he wanted."
“Hahaha…” Gu Shan laughed happily, “Yeah, I got what I wanted.”
I have paid too much and waited too long for this day.
In the vast universe, how many starry sky lives are struggling for this!
How many eighth-level star life forms despaired and felt that the source of life was out of reach!
Even some children from big families with powerful backgrounds like Tiyanno felt powerless to break through the source of life!
A civilization as powerful as the Black Moon Civilization is also working hard to cultivate evolvers throughout the entire civilization. They want to ensure that there is at least one "source life" in the civilization in every era.
"For thousands of years, I have had to hide myself." Gu Shan sighed, "Only when I become a source of life can I truly reveal myself."
Xu Jingming nodded, he could understand.
He had only been hiding for more than ten years, but his senior brother had been hiding himself for about a thousand years.
"Okay, I'll leave first. After I break through, I'll host a banquet for all of you fellow brothers and sisters." Gu Shan stood up.
"I will definitely be there." Xu Jingming stood up to see him off.
…
In the demon-suppressing world, Cheng’an Prefecture, Qi Family.
Qi Chen was getting older, with hair all snow-white. He was lying on a bamboo chair reading a book when he suddenly noticed a person appearing in the garden. It was Xu Jingming, who was dressed simply.
"Brother Wu Ming." Brother Qi Chen stood up and said happily, "After so many years, you finally returned to Cheng'an Prefecture. I have always heard that you have been conquering demons in various places in Chiyun Province."
"Brother Qi Chen." Xu Jingming smiled and said, "I'm here to ask you a favor."
"You say." Qi Chen said.
"Please arrange for someone to rebuild my original house." Xu Jingming said, "If someone who calls himself Wu Qi comes to visit me one day... please notify me."
If Uncle Seventh breaks through and becomes a seventh-level or even eighth-level star life, perhaps he will create an account to enter the demon-suppressing world.
Maybe we can meet again then.
"Wu Qi?" Qi Chen smiled. "Leave it to me. Even if my body dies, I will return to the Qi family! Even if I have to leave the Demon-Subduing World one day, I will entrust the head of the Qi family."
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Qi Chen. If there is any trouble in the Demon-Suppressing World, just give me a call at any time and I will come to help immediately." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"I feel relieved with a promise from a great master like you." Qi Chen chuckled, then his expression changed slightly, "From what you said, you plan to leave the Demon Subduing World?"
"Well, I plan to leave."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Uncle Seventh left, Senior Brother Gushan also left, and there was no progress in refining the Heavenly Demon Yu Xin. He wanted to leave temporarily and try other ways to hone his mind.
"I'll leave first." Xu Jingming smiled slightly, then disappeared out of thin air and left the Demon-Suppressing World.
Qi Chen was also a little disappointed. This brother Wu Ming came and went in a hurry. He only stayed in the Demon-Slaying World for more than ten years.
…
"Gu Shan's thoughts are truly unfathomable." Li Jinge re-condensed his demonic body. He stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the vast land. "The path he planned for me is much better than what I originally imagined."
"Maybe, I can really succeed." Li Jinge's eyes were burning.
After the spiritual encounter with Gu Shan, Li Jinge also felt that he had grown, and Gu Shan finally took the initiative to let him go.
"Gushan, I don't know what you are planning, but I still thank you." Li Jinge's figure turned into black mist and disappeared between heaven and earth.
…
Blue Star, the practice room in Xu Jingming’s home.
"call."
“Whoosh.”
There was a protective shield in the training room, and the girl Xu Lixing was attacking frantically in her training clothes, using her fists and legs, one move after another. After all, she was a talented girl who had reached the fifth level, and her offensive moves were quite sharp.
Xu Jingming countered the opponent's moves, restraining his strength and controlling his speed.
His strength and speed were weaker than his daughter's, but he could still resist easily.
"Bang."
While blocking his daughter's leg, Xu Jingming tapped his daughter's shoulder with his finger. His daughter frowned slightly and continued the attack with her lips pursed.
"Shh." As his hand passed over his daughter's arm, Xu Jingming tapped her forehead.
After fighting for a while, Xu Lixing stood there in a daze.
"In just one minute, Dad, your speed and strength were lower than mine, but you injured me 19 times, 7 of which were fatal." Xu Lixing looked at Xu Jingming with confusion in his eyes, "What's going on? It seems that Dad's moves are very ordinary, but he can easily defeat me."
"Think about it carefully." Xu Jingming smiled and said, "Slow down the video of the fight and watch it more. If you still don't understand after three days, come and ask me again."
"Oh." Xu Lixing stood there in a daze, still thinking about the previous fighting moves.
"Eat some fruit."
Li Miaomiao, who was in the corner of the training room, walked over with some fruit.
Xu Jingming reached out and took an apple, while his daughter was still in a daze.
"You've been spending a lot more time with your daughter recently." Li Miaomiao asked with a smile.
"Since she has talent, we should cultivate her well." Xu Jingming said, "Besides, our daughter will soon become a star life, so we need to let her feel the gap and realize that her own strength is still very ordinary."
My daughter's talent is indeed invaluable in the vast universe.
"You." Li Miaomiao walked towards her daughter with some fruit in her hand. "Li Xing, eat the fruit first and think about it slowly later."
Seeing this, Xu Jingming smiled and turned away.
Xu Jingming was walking on the lawn in his family's backyard, thinking: "Which method should I try to improve my spiritual power next?"
Xu Jingming looked up at the sky.
call.
The whole person disappeared out of thin air.
When he appeared again, he had already arrived in outer space of the Blue Planet. Xu Jingming stood in outer space, looking at the endless brilliant starry sky.
"There are many ways to improve your spiritual power. The top ten methods are all special in their own way. The Demon Subduing World is undoubtedly ranked first. I have tried the Demon Subduing World. Which one should I choose next?"
Xu Jingming was also a little hesitant.
After all, once you immerse yourself in it, it could be as short as a few years or as long as hundreds of years, so you have to be cautious.
"Young Master, you should care more about yourself. Life is so short, you should do things you like and things that make you happy." Xu Jingming's mind suddenly recalled his seventh uncle's last caring advice, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, just choose the one that you like the most and that makes you happiest ." Xu Jingming made the decision at this moment.
…
Virtual World Network, Xu Jingming’s personal space.
Xu Jingming stood in the spaceship hall, looking at the countless tiny virtual worlds appearing in front of him. He smiled slightly and pointed to the world at the front which was the most conspicuous and dazzling.
“Buzz.”
Xu Jingming just tapped lightly and entered.
This is a free virtual world.
"Xu Jingming, welcome to the world of life evolution."
The scene before him changed, and Xu Jingming was very familiar with it.
Because the 'virtual world' of Blue Planet is a simplified version of the world of life evolution.
As the virtual world with the longest history among the human race in the entire universe, even though many of its modes are considered backward, it is still the most popular world among the human race in the entire universe.
Its popularity is far ahead of any other virtual world.
"The reason why the world of life evolution is the most popular among the human race in the universe is mainly because of its two modes, which have attracted countless people to watch." Xu Jingming looked at the scene in front of him.
"The first is the professional league. Each major star alliance has some teams, and many teams compete with each other. In the end, the ten strongest teams will be selected to represent the entire Hunter Universe... and continue to compete with other universes. At that time, it will attract the entire universe of human beings to watch and cheer for their own universe."
"The competition among 340 teams from 34 cosmic domains will be an entertainment feast for the entire human race in the universe."
"The other mode is the peak battle of the universe."
"This is a one-on-one battle. The threshold for participation is an eighth-level star life. And those who are somewhat famous are all at the eighth-level limit."
"Eighth-level extreme masters fight one-on-one, pursuing their own limits. Rankings are set based on their performance. The top ten masters in each Star Alliance are all star-like figures, and every game has a huge audience. And the top ten masters in each universe are even more dazzling and brilliant, and almost all of them can break through to become source life."
"The competition in the pinnacle of the universe is too fierce. In a star alliance, the top ten attract the vast majority of popularity. It is difficult for the masters ranked lower to stand out. Participating in the professional league is a good way."
The gap between ranking 100 and ranking 10th is not that big.
When fighting five vs five, it is more about the wisdom and the coordination of the five people. Therefore, it is enough for the individual fighting strength to reach a certain level.
"But obviously, the peak battle of the universe attracts more powerful people." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "The time of the peerless geniuses of the top forces is very precious. They are unwilling to join the team and accept the professional management of the team."
Therefore, the peak battle of the universe has more masters, higher gold content, and greater popularity.
"One on one, a life-and-death fight to determine the winner."
Xu Jingming's heartbeat was also accelerating, "Pursuing the strongest peak of the human race in the universe?"
Xu Jingming, who had practiced spear fighting since childhood, had a deep love for weapon fighting. Even in the Demon-Subduing World, he focused on cultivating his divine body because he liked close combat.
"After becoming a source life, you will spend your energy studying science and various ways to use source power. The battles of source life are actually an understanding of source power."
"On the contrary, the eighth level limit is the pure weapon skill." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "This is also the pinnacle of combat skills."
"That's it."
Xu Jingming was looking forward to fighting with the best masters in the universe, so he stretched out his hand and lightly tapped.
Buzz——
"Please start your journey to the peak of the universe." A voice sounded, and Xu Jingming entered the preparatory interface for the peak battle of the universe.
The interface has its own data——
Name: Wu Ming (can be changed)
Wu Gou Star Alliance Ranking: 36932
Hunter Universe Ranking: None (not in the top 100,000)
Overall universe ranking: None (not in the top one million)
Xu Jingming occasionally played it when he relaxed. With his eighth-level extreme strength, although he didn't play much, he was ranked more than 30,000 in the Wu Gou Star Alliance. In the Hunter Universe and the entire universe human race, he had no ranking.
