"The top ten in Yuanchu Research Institute?" Xu Jingming smiled. "Xiaojiu, don't flatter me. I know very well that those who can make the top ten in Yuanchu Research Institute have almost all high-dimensional spiritual power, and their accumulation is much deeper than mine!"
"Like Senior Brother Yijiu, who practices two paths at the same time, he can exert high-dimensional power! His mind is already high-dimensional. But he didn't make it into the top ten." Xu Jingming said, "Compared with Senior Brother Yijiu, my accumulation is much weaker."
"What made me enter the top ten? It's because my high-dimensional treasure is powerful enough!" Xu Jingming said, "Looking at the source life of the entire Yuanchu Research Institute, excluding the cosmic legends, the high-dimensional treasure I use should be the best."
"yes."
Xiao Jiu agreed, "Only Yuan Yi uses a treasure close to yours, the others are much worse than you two."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Senior Sister Yuanyi was once as famous as Vice Dean Chi Meng, so it was normal for the dean to bestow treasures on her.
"I'm only in the top ten using the best high-dimensional treasures. What's there to be proud of?" Xu Jingming said with a smile, "Many of the high-dimensional treasures used by my senior brothers and sisters are only worth tens of millions of merits."
"If I don't rely on external things, with my strength, it would be good enough to be in the top 100 of Yuanchu Research Institute." Xu Jingming thought.
"People like Chi Meng and Yuan Yi, who have high enough talents, will be cultivated." Xiao Jiu said, "The master's talent is high enough, so naturally we have to allocate resources. The deeper the accumulation, the greater the hope of becoming a higher-dimensional life."
"In the history of the human race, there have been people with more brilliant talents than you, Master, but they still could not become high-dimensional life forms." Xiao Jiu said, "From the real universe to the high dimension, it is a leap of dimensions!"
" I understand." Xu Jingming nodded.
From the first level to the tenth level limit, these are all lives in the real universe and can be improved step by step.
But the leap of dimensions! That's too difficult.
Chi Meng's talent was so dazzling that he was still stuck in a bottleneck after realizing the three high-dimensional powers. He even relaxed and got married and had a son. It was the cosmic fruit that Xu Jingming accidentally obtained that brought Chi Meng some gains.
Otherwise, it would take a long time for Chi Meng to become a high-dimensional life form, and he might even fail when the deadline came.
This is the difficulty of becoming a high-dimensional person.
Not only the human race, but also the Prison Clan! In the contemporary world, apart from the founder of the Prison Clan, there is only one high-dimensional life, the Emperor. Even the powerful Void God Clan has only a handful of high-dimensional life.
It is not easy for any ethnic group, no matter which path they take, to become a "high-dimensional life".
"Let's go to the subsidiary universe." Xu Jingming took a step and disappeared into the starry sky.
…
Subsidiary universe.
The outermost world of fire was no longer attractive. After all, all the cosmic fruits had been picked. Xu Jingming only took three steps and arrived near a complete patterned stone pillar.
“Buzz~~~~”
As he got closer, invisible waves from the patterned stone pillars, which were 1.6 light years tall, spread, impacting Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness.
However, Xu Jingming took the Abyss Fire Lotus Seeds, and his mind itself reached the 11th level. With the Yuanchu battle suit to block and weaken the external mental impact, Xu Jingming resisted the mental impact and got closer to the patterned stone pillar.
"Boom!!!" Xu Jingming suddenly turned into a flaming figure and continued to walk step by step. The patterned stone pillar had a strong repulsive force, making Xu Jingming's steps more difficult. The rising temperature also made Xu Jingming feel uncomfortable.
"Transformed into the Yuanchu Star."
A large amount of flames condensed around the flaming figure and completely transformed into a miniature Yuanchu star. This miniature Yuanchu star continued to fly slowly towards the patterned stone pillar.
"Boom~~~~" When the terrifying repulsive force and the super strong heat wave emitted by the patterned stone pillar reached Xu Jingming, flames naturally began to grow!
Xu Jingming, who had transformed into a miniature Yuanchu Star, endured the heat waves, flames, and repulsion. When he was only a hundred meters away, he could no longer move forward.
Because the repulsive force is too great!
"My strength is ranked in the top ten in Yuanchu Research Institute, but I can't get past the patterned stone pillar?" Xu Jingming thought to himself, "Let's go to the collapsed and broken patterned stone pillar and try. The obstacle should be weaker there."
Thirty-six patterned stone pillars protected the giant palace in the center, but nine of them were broken and collapsed.
boom--
At the broken patterned stone pillar, the repulsive force was obviously much weaker.
When Xu Jingming got close, he transformed into a miniature Yuanchu Star and continued to approach.
"I..." Xu Jingming looked at the collapsed patterned stone pillar in front of him.
Ninety meters, eighty meters... fifty meters... thirty meters... ten meters...
As the distance got closer, Xu Jingming felt inexplicably nervous.
“I touched it.”
The repulsive force of the collapsed patterned stone pillars was obviously much weaker. Although the flames rose under the impact of the heat wave, even if the flames were ten times stronger, they could not break through the Yuanchu battle suit. The Yuanchu battle suit was very advantageous in resisting the impact of "energy" and "matter".
When faced with high-dimensional means such as mental and restraint methods, we are at a disadvantage.
"this--"
When Xu Jingming's palm touched the patterned stone pillar, his heart roared!
It was as if he was touching the skin of a giant. Xu Jingming felt like he was looking up at something because it was so huge! Ten light years? Ten thousand light years? One hundred million light years? No, it couldn't be accurately described using units of length.
That is huge at a higher dimensional level!
The sense of oppression brought to Xu Jingming by this huge creature was even greater than the 'Yuanchu Star' he saw when he accepted the inheritance.
Xu Jingming knew it was an illusion! After all, he had never really seen Yuanchu Star, he only knew some images. This behemoth... Xu Jingming felt it very strongly this time.
These patterned stone pillars are actually part of the body of the giant creature.
It's just that these are nurtured in the 'universe within the body' and will only look like this after it dies.
"I once bought three strands of 'Original Star Flame' and watched them with my own eyes. But what I saw... was far inferior to the flame on the body of this great being." Xu Jingming touched the patterned stone pillar and continued to feel it in his mind.
There were wisps of black flames on the surface of the huge object, but these black flames gave Xu Jingming a different feeling.
"flame!"
"It is the source of power of this great being. Or rather, one of the sources." Xu Jingming understood a little.
…
Touch the patterned stone pillar and watch the great figure with your mind.
Every ray of flame on the great figure's body carries endless knowledge, which is more attractive to Xu Jingming than the flame of Yuanchu Star.
Xu Jingming interpreted it and understood it. With the "Yuanchu Star Hypothesis" and human scientific knowledge as the foundation, and having eaten the cosmic fruit for many years, Xu Jingming interpreted a lot of information.
More than three months later.
Xu Jingming felt his consciousness trembling unbearably, so he could only withdraw his hand and no longer touch the patterned stone pillar.
If you don't touch it, you can't feel it.
Xu Jingming's mental consciousness began to return to normal.
"This terrifying flame?" Xu Jingming was thoughtful, his mind permeated the Yuanhuo Pearl in his body, which was refined in imitation of the 'Yuanchu Star'. Although the dean and the great being were heading in different directions towards the Yuanchu Star.
But we still have a lot in common! Especially in the early stage, there are a lot in common.
Xu Jingming penetrated the outermost layer of the Yuanhuo Pearl, and some of his power even penetrated into the inner layer.
“Buzz.”
Suddenly, a wisp of "black flame" appeared in Xu Jingming's palm.
"Although it is not as good as the flame controlled by that great being, it is already a little similar. The most important thing is... I can use this flame to my heart's content." Xu Jingming thought, and a large amount of black flame spread from his body surface, and his whole body was completely enveloped by black flame.
The terrifying black flames burned in all directions, annihilating everything.
"Master, the power of this flame seems to be no less than that of Ma Xun." Xiao Jiu said in surprise, "However, the range of the flame released by Master is not as good as that of Ma Xun."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Ma Xun is the first in the tenth level of Yuanchu Research Institute. He has high spiritual power. The range of the flames he releases is extremely wide, and he can directly descend the flames from a long distance. In terms of application, he surpasses Xu Jingming.
"But with this flame, the master's strength will be even greater, and he should be able to enter the top five of Yuanchu Research Institute." Xiao Jiu exclaimed, "Master, this path of the affiliated universe creator is very suitable for you."
"Whether it's the dean or the creator of the affiliated universe, they are all from the Yuanchu Star lineage."
Xu Jingming said, "Let's learn from each other and explore slowly."
With his education reaching level 99, his real universe accumulation is almost enough. He is now trying to move towards the 'higher dimension' through various means, but no one can really break through the higher dimension for the time being.
"I have been practicing for 381 years now. I have accumulated enough experience in various aspects. The next step is to explore and cross over to a higher dimension."
"The first step is to reach a higher dimension of the mind."
"I have practiced for more than 300 years and have reached the 11th level of the mind. According to the historical data of Yuanchu Research Institute, it is estimated that it will take thousands of years to break through to the 12th level." Xu Jingming pondered.
Just like Senior Brother Jian, he is also honing his mind now.
Those who reached a higher spiritual dimension in Yuanchu Research Institute usually took more than 50,000 years! Of course, some geniuses like Chi Meng and Yuan Yi were not included in this list, but Chi Meng also took thousands of years to reach a higher spiritual dimension.
"There is no shortcut to a spiritual breakthrough. It requires going through all kinds of trials and tribulations," thought Xu Jingming.
How to hone?
Practicing the "Darkness Chapter" of Yuanchuxing's conjecture, tempering the mind in the darkness and keeping the mind from being eroded is one way, but it is also playing with fire. Even if the mind reaches the 12th level with this, like the Yin Xiao mind in the Eternal Learning Tower, it still actively falls into the abyss again, wanting to get closer to the "abyss" and master stronger power.
Once you are used to finding strength in the darkness, you will be able to continue after you have gained something.
Xu Jingming was not passionate about "The Dark Chapter" and was unwilling to do it, so naturally he would not spend any time on it.
"There are mainly two directions in the future."
“One is the spiritual training.”
"The second is to work hard to familiarize yourself with high-dimensional power, borrow various high-dimensional powers, and even practice to the higher level the better! Borrow more, use the power at a high enough level, and understand it deeply. Then there is hope that you can fully comprehend it and be able to display it on your own." Xu Jingming thought.
Only when these two paths are open can one be qualified to construct higher-dimensional life forms.
Every step is not easy.
"A peerless genius who ranks among the top in the history of the human race in the universe? If he cannot become a higher-dimensional life, it is just a mirage." Xu Jingming was not complacent at all, he knew very well.
The road ahead is the real challenge!
