Chapter 6: The Road to the Ninth Order Chapter 6 Ten Years Later
Xu Jingming strolled leisurely in the market, looking at the various people in the market. Suddenly, he glanced and saw the goods on a stall in the distance. His eyes lit up and he walked over.
This vendor was selling handicrafts and was looking forward to seeing Xu Jingming walk to his stall.
"Will you sell this stone?" Xu Jingming picked up a seemingly ordinary oval stone on the stall. Other items on the stall were bamboo baskets, bamboo stools, bamboo chairs, etc., only this stone.
At first glance, this stone looks like an ordinary milky white pebble, except that it has a cloudy black color on it.
"Sell, sell, sell." The vendor nodded repeatedly. "This stone feels warm to the touch. I hit it with a sledgehammer, but there is no scratch at all. It must be a treasure."
"Name a price." Xu Jingming said.
The vendor held out his hand and said solemnly, "Ten taels of silver, at least ten taels of silver."
An ordinary peddler could only earn about ten taels of silver after working hard for a year. Selling a special stone at such a high price was already cruel enough for the peddler.
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded, "Ten taels of silver."
The peddler was delighted to hear this.
A vendor next to him said, "Yue Xiaosan, this is a treasure. Not to mention ten taels of silver, I'm afraid it's worth a hundred or a thousand taels!"
"Are you still selling?" Xu Jingming looked at the vendor and asked with a smile, "If the price goes up, I won't keep you company."
"Young man, they are setting a trap for you. They asked for 10 taels, but they want 100 taels or 1,000 taels." An old man carrying a basket walked by and reminded, "These vendors are very cunning."
"Sell, sell, sell." The vendor glared at the vendor next to him and immediately handed the black and white stone to Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming also took out a silver ingot and gave it to the vendor.
The money and goods are settled.
"If I can find another stone like this, would you like it?" The peddler picked up the silver ingot, wiped it, took two bites, and then happily hid it in his arms, and asked again.
"Yes." Xu Jingming looked at him, "I will come to the market more often recently."
"I'll go back and look for it carefully." The vendor nodded. He had picked it up by chance while cutting bamboo in the mountains, and he was going to go back and look for it carefully this time. Finding one would be worth a year's hard work.
Xu Jingming left immediately.
"Please take care, sir." The vendor said flatteringly, and then glared at the vendor next to him, "Old smoker, are you trying to ruin my business?"
…
Xu Jingming held the oval stone and poured the magic power into it. The stone suddenly became hot. Xu Jingming nodded slightly: "The magic power of the sixth level, combined with my own magical power, is more powerful, but it will also put a greater burden on the magic weapon. Better materials are needed. This stone, combined with some other materials, can almost be used to refine a magic seal."
Only demon-slayers can make use of these precious materials.
After leaving the market, Xu Jingming continued to stroll around the capital of Lanping Prefecture.
Whenever I go to a place, I must visit the prefecture city! I will also visit most of the county towns within a prefecture.
He watched the lives of all kinds of people in the city, encountered a demon, and captured the demon to refine his mind! When refining the demon, the demon's obsession and memory were integrated into Xu Jingming's consciousness, allowing Xu Jingming to understand their lives more deeply.
The world of subduing demons is huge!
After all, the eighth- and seventh-level star life forms in a universe are all in the same demon-suppressing world. Even though it is expensive to set up an account, and even though many eighth-level star life forms will try other paths, the number of demon-suppressing people here is still huge, and the number of ordinary people is more than ten thousand times more.
Countless ordinary people also have various destinies. Xu Jingming observes and studies them.
…
Xu Jingming is not only studying in the demon-suppressing world, he is also learning humanities and scientific knowledge.
"I have gained some knowledge from watching the lives of others in the Demon-Suppressing World. In fact, the humanities knowledge of the Cosmic Human Alliance has already been summarized." Xu Jingming sat in his own courtyard, looking at the large amount of humanities knowledge on the screen. The brain of an eighth-level starry sky life allowed him to memorize a lot of knowledge with just a glance. There were hundreds of examples from the Demon-Suppressing World in his mind to verify it.
"Humanities. Although the highest level of education is only level 60, it is still very important."
"It is said on the blue planet that character determines destiny. And humanities knowledge determines character and destiny." The more Xu Jingming observed, the more he valued this aspect.
Even though humanities knowledge is vast and there are many key books, Xu Jingming's brain was able to read all the most important books in just half a month.
"The fate of man."
“The fate of civilization.”
"It's just the same old things over and over again." Xu Jingming looked at the scientific knowledge in front of him, "Scientific knowledge is truly endless."
Before Xu Jingming learned the law of evolution, although he was a science student, the knowledge he learned at that time was still very superficial.
And now as an eighth-level star life, he has a lot of knowledge from the Yuanchu Research Institute at his disposal, and he can even read the manuscripts of many great scholars! This is naturally a great help to Xu Jingming.
"Jingming, what are you looking at?" Li Miaomiao came over and took a look from a distance. The densely packed characters made her dizzy. "All kinds of characters."
"Those are just some characters with special meanings that can make the formula more concise." Xu Jingming exclaimed, "Miaomiao, scientific knowledge is really amazing. Can you believe that with just a few formulas, you can deduce thousands of formulas based on them to interpret the meaning of everything in the universe?"
Li Miaomiao blinked when she heard this.
"Yes."
Xu Jingming looked up at the sky. "When you suddenly realize that those formulas and theorems have explained the vast and huge laws governing the operation of the universe, you will be shocked. This is the power of knowledge."
"With this knowledge, you can use a little flame to burst out with the power to destroy stars."
"But at the same time, a barren planet can be transformed into a planet suitable for life." Xu Jingming's eyes were filled with longing, "I really want to become a source life. A source life can control the source power of the universe. As long as you master the knowledge, you can use the source power of the universe to realize various ideas."
Li Miaomiao smiled and said, "Who doesn't want to become a source life? Everyone in the entire Blue Star civilization hopes that someone can become a source life. But it's too difficult! I don't know how many galaxies and how many tens of thousands of years it takes for a source life to be born."
"Yes, it's too difficult." Xu Jingming nodded. Even if he inherited the core chapter of "The Yuanchu Star Hypothesis", the highest inheritance of mankind in the universe, it would take him a very long time to become a source life.
Xu Jingming continued to read scientific knowledge.
The accumulation of scientific knowledge can also enable him to have a deeper understanding of "The Chapter of Light", understand the existence of Yuanchu Star, and achieve better results in visualization.
…
The accumulation of knowledge must be accumulated slowly over time. No matter how good the method is, you have to learn it slowly and down to earth.
In the demon-suppressing world, one observes all living beings and refines demons in the mind.
Learn humanities and science knowledge in the real world, and study "The Chapter of Light".
Xu Jingming is growing every day and feels that time passes so quickly. In a blink of an eye, it has been ten years since Xu Jingming became an eighth-level starry sky life.
…
Blue Star, Binhai City.
Ding-a-ling!
As the school bell rang, many students walked out of the campus.
"See you in the virtual world tonight."
"Class Two, don't run away if you have the guts tonight. Five vs. Five! We, Class One, are ready to fight you."
"Who's afraid of whom?"
The students were talking, each one very excited.
As minors, they still have to go to school during the day and spend time with their peers. They can only enter the virtual world when they get home.
"Look, Xu Lixing."
"Xu Lixing from Class 3, Year 1."
"Her father is Xu Jingming, the number one person on Blue Star. Less than two years after the popularization of the evolution method, Xu Jingming has become a seventh-level star life. Xu Lixing is twelve years old this year and also won the first place in the junior group global competition. It's really amazing."
A group of students looked at a girl in the distance as if they were looking at a star.
Xu Lixing is indeed a big star on Blue Planet. She has been the center of attention since she was in kindergarten. A large number of media pay attention to her and report her news.
"Let's go home."
Xu Lixing boarded a small aircraft on the roadside. Nowadays, this kind of small aircraft is still very common on the blue planet, and there are tens of millions of them in the world. I believe that in a few decades, they will completely replace cars.
"Okay." The butler robot Xiaowu, sitting in the aircraft, came to pick up Xu Lixing in person.
"Auntie Xiaowu." Xu Lixing couldn't help but say, "Ever since I won first place in the junior category, people have been taking pictures of me wherever I go."
"Li Xing, haven't you been used to it since childhood?" said the housekeeper Xiaowu with a smile.
"It's different. It's much crazier now than before. I'm a little distressed." Xu Lixing covered her forehead with her hands, but there was still a hint of excitement in her eyes. She really liked the feeling of being sought after.
The housekeeper Xiao Wu said: "According to what your father said, he only reached the fifth level at the age of twelve. There are billions of people with higher talents than you in the countless civilizations in the universe."
"I'm number one in the world!" Xu Lixing glared.
"But you have been learning martial arts since you were a child. Your father taught you personally. It took you nearly ten years to reach the fifth level." said the butler Xiaowu.
"I have worked very hard. My parents are very strict. I was at the third level when I was seven, and at the fourth level when I was ten. This year I reached the fifth level and won first place in the junior group worldwide. Who wouldn't give a thumbs up when they mention me? Come to think of it, my dad was only at the fifth level when he was thirty! Humph, let's see how I surpass him in the future." Xu Lixing said.
"Li Xing, all of us, including your father, are expecting you to surpass him." said the housekeeper Xiaowu.
"We'll see."
When Xu Lixing won the world's first place for the first time, he was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.
Soon, the aircraft landed in the family yard.
"Dad, Mom."
As soon as Xu Lixing stepped out of the aircraft, he ran towards Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao.
Xu Jingming looked at his twelve-year-old daughter. Due to years of practicing the evolution method, she had a tall figure and was already 1.75 meters tall. She was already a grown-up girl.
The older his daughter gets, the more worried Xu Jingming becomes. He doesn't know which young man will marry her in the future, so he has keep a close eye on her.
"Eat some fruit." Li Miaomiao pointed to the fruit plate beside her.
"I had some snacks on the way. I'm going to the virtual world first. Call me for dinner." Xu Lixing said, then went straight to his bedroom, closed the door, and put on the virtual helmet.
Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao looked at each other.
"Just call me and go upstairs." Xu Jingming shook his head.
"She always pestered me in the past." Li Miaomiao also looked at the fruit in front of her, "Now that I have prepared the fruit, she won't eat it. My daughter has grown up and she doesn't obey her mother anymore."
"Our daughter has reached the fifth level. After some time, she will be able to become a star life and have her own virtual room." Xu Jingming said, "As a mother, do you have to cultivate yourself into a star life?"
"I'm still young and I want to try my best." Li Miaomiao was very determined.
Xu Jingming nodded and smiled: "Okay, it's up to you."
In my family, besides myself, my father Xu Hong broke through to the fifth level two years ago and became a star life. In total, my father practiced for eleven years from the time he learned the evolution method to reach the fifth level.
As for my mom, grandpa, and father-in-law and mother-in-law, they are relatively inferior in this respect. They have all been upgraded to starry sky life with the help of external forces.
According to the decision of Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao, only their closest relatives would they be willing to spend money to use external forces to upgrade them to starry sky life.
The vast majority of the star life forms in the entire universe are external forces that break through, and this is the reason! When one person rises, he will naturally help his loved ones. Even because the life span of star life is very long, it will also affect subsequent generations, and eventually form a huge family.
…
Virtual World Network, Xu Jingming’s personal space.
Xu Jingming sat on the sofa and opened his personal combat power panel——
Genetic Evolution Method: "Sky Python Evolution Method" (Starry Sky Life Perfection)
Body: 1.06 billion
Skills: Gun Skills (Level 8 97%), Shield Skills (Level 8 95%), Sword Skills (Level 8 93%), Knife Skills (Level 8 92%), Staff Skills (Level 8 95%), Foot Skills (Level 8 98%), Hidden Weapon Skills (Level 8 87%)
Basic combat power: 530 billion
Energy: 106 billion
Actual combat bonus: 63 times
Combat power: 40 trillion (please follow the regulations of the Universal Human Alliance)
Xu Jingming looked at the data and nodded slightly: "With the help of the core chapter of the Supreme Inheritance of Yuanchu Research Institute, in ten years, I have indeed cultivated my physical body to the eighth level limit."
"However, the eighth level limit is still far from the source of life." Xu Jingming is very clear about this.
He lightly clicked and opened the hidden data in his personal panel——
Psychic Strength: 5631
This is data from a test just this year.
"It's easy to increase the mental power index in the early stage. The geniuses of Yuanchu Research Institute have an average data of 35 years of cultivation for the eighth-level star life and a mental index of over 5,000. After 390 years of cultivation, it exceeds 9,000... Generally, they become source life within a thousand years."
"And in ten years, my spiritual index has exceeded 5,000."
"According to similar proportions, it should take me about two hundred years to become a source of life." Xu Jingming thought.
It will take ten years to reach the eighth level limit.
But if we continue to progress at a similar pace, it will take two hundred years to become a source of life.
It takes twenty times longer to become a source life than to become an eighth level extreme life, and this is still under the premise of being able to continue to improve. Many eighth level extreme people have lost hope and given up after a long time.
This also makes the number of original life forms in the vast human population of the universe extremely scarce.
"According to the evaluation of Yuanchu Research Institute, my spiritual power is improving at a relatively fast rate." Xu Jingming also sighed, "To maintain this efficiency, it will take another two hundred years to become a source life?"
