The dean and the others paid a heavy price to secure the powerful high-dimensional weapon—Sin Flower—and the Three Threads of the Heart Realm. Their efforts have been invaluable to me, Xu Jingming thought with growing gratitude as he delved deeper into his cultivation.
The Three Threads of the Heart Realm legacy may not have been as powerful as the Red Lotus Fire legacy, but it was essential. It provided a wealth of general knowledge and introductions, including the Heart Realm Exploration Guidelines.
The Heart Realm is vast and expansive due to generations of high-dimensional lifeforms from the Heart Realm Force lineage building and expanding it. However, it's also shaped by the minds and consciousness of countless living beings.
Even when those living beings pass away, their obsessions remain. Whether they be kind, malicious, happy, or painful, they linger in the Heart Realm.
So in the Heart Realm, there is an abundance of joyful obsessions, as well as endless sins.
The cultivation of Red Lotus Fire once required traversing the Heart Realm and absorbing sins to fuel the Heart Fire. But with the high-dimensional weapon, the Sin Flower, this arduous process was no longer necessary.
The infinite sins contained in the high-dimensional Eternal weapon, the Sin Flower, should've been collected from the Heart Realm, Xu Jingming thought. Then, he reached out and gently swiped, accessing the first thread of the Three Threads of the Heart Realm.
The power of his Heart Realm condensed into a thread, and he began constructing an illusory world around it. Countless threads flew and weaved, quickly forming an intricate and intricate world.
Second thread, Xu Jingming thought as another Heart Realm Force condensed and began to construct figures—men, women, old and young, each with different expressions.
With more than 1,800 years of experience, Xu Jingming had encountered countless people. His memory was astonishing, and he remembered them all. He had also experienced life after life when he took the initiative to fall into misery.
As a result, Xu Jingming was able to outline people one after another, giving them personalities and rich emotions.
The first thread is to construct a world. The second thread is to construct living beings. This isn't difficult for me. Xu Jingming observed the illusory world around him, and tens of millions of humans were among them. The hardest part is the third thread… To bring life to the entire world!
Third thread!
Xu Jingming connected the countless threads and began pushing the development of the entire world.
People's interactions, struggles, careers, and relationships were intertwined.
This illusory world was on Earth, and while Xu Jingming could see it, others could not.
Bang!
In just an hour, the entire world collapsed.
Mastery of the Three Threads of the Heart Realm eludes me. Xu Jingming sighed, shaking his head. The legacy says the key is to induce billions to fall asleep and enter the virtual world naturally, where I can observe and study the three-thread structure.
I'll pick a space pirate lair.
Xu Jingming looked into the distance.
He had visited many in the past, some destroyed by his own hand, others still standing strong.
"That's it." Xu Jingming instantly zeroed in on a heavily populated location.
Hu!
Xu Jingming had once passed by that distant planet, and as he did, the remaining marks naturally gathered Heart Realm Force and condensed into a black-robed figure.
This space pirate lair is home to both natives and space pirates—a total of more than 9.2 billion people. With a nod, Xu Jingming enveloped the entire space pirate lair in an illusory world, instantly controlling the minds of countless individuals.
The person steering an aircraft also parked it by the side of the road in a daze, and those chatting as they walked collapsed to the ground.
More than 9.2 billion people collapsed all over the world. But under Xu Jingming's power, their bodies were safe and sound, even providing energy to ensure that they weren't affected.
Their consciousnesses entered the illusory world Xu Jingming had constructed.
Live in here.
In a simple ancient society, he gave them initial identities and memories. They started living naturally, and the entire virtual world was pushed forward as if it had come to life.
Xu Jingming observed and studied, getting billions of people to serve his evolutionary path—a very common practice. Besides, he ensured the safety of these people.
It was common for high-dimensional lifeforms to use species with large numbers as test subjects. Many high-dimensional lifeforms didn't care much about the life and death of the test subjects.
Peaceful days passed day by day, and Xu Jingming's thoughts were mainly on Red Lotus Fire, Three Threads of the Heart Realm, and the construction of a high-dimensional body. But his improvement was slow.
…
Void Celestials, hall in the black spire.
"Ambassador Vicar, I want to experience the path of human Wu Ming," Tutenmu said with anticipation, his purple robe rustling as he spoke. He had long heard that Xu Jingming had become a cosmic legend, but his imprisonment had kept him from truly sensing it.
Therefore, there wasn't much to experience when possessing Xu Jingming the moment he was released. The effects would be much better after decades of experience.
"Without a legacy, he grasped Heart Realm Force in over a thousand years despite being corrupted. Wu Ming's talent is truly terrifying." Ambassador Vicar's voice boomed throughout the hall. "Tutenmu, be mindful as you experience his path."
Tutenmu focused, sensing the experiences of Xu Jingming's corrupted years. He even took the initiative to enter misery and possess others to feel the pain…
Ambassador Vicar could clearly pry into the experiences of those possessed, allowing Tutenmu to feel the same pain.
"One painful life after another?" Tutenmu could handle it at first, but the experiences had been specially selected by Xu Jingming. The impact was almost unbearable.
Back when Xu Jingming possessed others, he needed to vent the pain in his heart.
Tutenmu's mind was burdened as he repeated these experiences.
"Slow down the flow of time," Tutenmu couldn't help but say. He had grasped Heart Realm Force and was much stronger than Xu Jingming before his imprisonment, but even now he still had to take it slow.
"Sure thing." Ambassador Vicar slowed down the flow of time.
With the slowed pace, Tutenmu felt more in control. "This lunatic wants to possess people and experience their pain? He must've gone through hell."
Ambassador Vicar could mimic the physical sensations of possession perfectly, but he couldn't replicate the emotional torment of high-dimensional corruption.
"He chose to be imprisoned?"
"Unfortunately, I can't possess him during his time in prison."
"He's out?"
Tutenmu felt it again, but this time, it was different.
Xu Jingming, newly returned to Earth from prison, had a unique feeling during his possession. It was as if all the filth of the outside world couldn't touch him.
Could this be the Heart of Cleansing Lotus recorded in the legacy? Tutenmu wondered. Can one truly master the Red Lotus Fire lineage with a Heart of Cleansing Lotus?
His eyes flared with envy and jealousy. He had only obtained the first half of the Abyssal Void legacy.
He had the basic material for the Red Lotus Fire but nothing else.
As Gumo had arranged, only high-dimensional lifeforms from the Heart Realm Force lineage were qualified to receive the subsequent legacies.
"He did it. He reached the Heart of Cleansing Lotus. Wh—" Tutenmu's desire for it was overwhelming. Despite becoming a cosmic legend, he had relied on a complete legacy to slowly grasp Heart Realm Force. He hadn't reached the level of the Heart of Cleansing Lotus.
"If I can reach that level, I have a chance at becoming a high-dimensional lifeform." Tutenmu's continued the possession.
Years passed.
He finally reached the end.
"Is that it?" Tutenmu asked, his voice filled with disappointment.
"That's all the possession has revealed." Ambassador Vicar's voice echoed through the hall. "This is as far as I can pry. He still has a clone hiding at the Primordial Star headquarters, so I can't delve any deeper."
Tutenmu nodded slightly, but his eyes were filled with frustration. "How do I grasp the Heart of Cleansing Lotus?"
He envied Xu Jingming, whose path to becoming a high-dimensional lifeform was made smooth by the Heart of Cleansing Lotus.
Xu Jingming's talent was truly terrifying.
Unfortunately, he grasped the Heart of Cleansing Lotus in prison. I can't sense the detailed process of his breakthrough at all, Tutenmu thought to himself. There's no rush. I can slowly possess him and learn everything he experiences on his journey from cosmic legend to high-dimensional lifeform. It will definitely help!
He's my perfect test subject. Perhaps I can really rely on him to become a high-dimensional lifeform. Tutenmu's determination was burning bright.
