Chapter 5, Level 7 Chapter 26 A Gathering of Eight
In the practice room, Xu Jingming was concentrating on practicing "The Light Chapter of the Yuanchu Star Hypothesis". He turned off his communications and only a few people including his family, master Liu Hai, Director Zhou and others could contact him, which also meant that the Third Prince could not contact Xu Jingming for the time being.
Xu Jingming held two shields in his hands, and his whole body turned into thunder, striking in all directions with terrifying power.
His shield technique was changing rapidly.
Then he tried swords, sticks and clubs. For Xu Jingming's level, weapons are just extensions of the body, and it is very easy to practice to a very high level.
"It is worthy of being one of the three most powerful inheritances of the human race in the entire universe." Xu Jingming practiced for three days and finally stopped. His heart was filled with joy. He could feel his own transformation, and his understanding of weapons had also undergone a breakthrough change.
Xu Jingming opened his personal combat power panel and found that there had indeed been a qualitative change.
"Rainbow Spear Technique (Level 7 93%), Star Spear Technique (Level 7 91%), Shield Technique (Level 7 90%), Sword Technique (Level 7 87%), Knife Technique (Level 7 85%), Staff Technique (Level 7 90%), Footwork (Level 7 95%)."
"Actual combat bonus: 4300%."
Xu Jingming was quite satisfied when he saw these data.
When practicing "The Light Chapter" for the first time, it is rare to increase the actual combat bonus from 39 times to 43 times.
In the early stages of practice, it may only take a few years to increase the bonus from 5 times in actual combat to 10 times.
But in the later stage, it may take hundreds of years to increase from 40 times to 45 times in actual combat! It may even get stuck at a certain limit and never be able to improve. Because the further you go, the closer you are to the limit!
"In terms of actual combat, even if I look at an eighth-rank warrior, I am pretty good." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "What you said about auxiliary intelligence is correct. I really need to pay more attention to the mind."
Xu Jingming sat cross-legged and began to practice the method of refining the mind recorded in the tradition - "The Light Visualization Method".
"The 'Light Visualization Method' is about visualizing the Yuanchu Star! It focuses on the light of the 'Yuanchu Star'." Xu Jingming recalled, "I received some information about the Yuanchu Star before, and it reached the limit of my mental consciousness. Now I want to copy and visualize it in my mind... It's not easy."
When accepting inheritance, it is forcibly imprinted in the memory, without any request for understanding.
But at this moment, copying and visualizing is much more difficult.
The Light Visualization Method is divided into 12 levels. At the beginning, you only need to visualize the hazy appearance of the Yuanchu Star. As time goes by, the "Yuanchu Star" you visualize will become clearer and clearer! The information contained in it will also become more and more massive. It will also put more pressure on your mind and consciousness .
The first six layers are the basis.
Only when you reach the seventh level, your spiritual power will have the hope of leveraging the source of the universe and becoming the source of life.
You must reach the ninth level, the spiritual power, to reach the threshold of the tenth-level strongman's "spiritual aspect". If the spiritual aspect is not enough, no matter how much knowledge is accumulated, it is impossible to achieve the tenth level.
Only when you reach the eleventh level can you hope to become a 'cosmic legend'.
Only when one reaches the twelfth level, the ‘mind’ aspect reaches the minimum requirement of the highest realm.
When Xu Jingming accepted the inheritance, he received limited information about Yuanchu Star! With so much information... he could only practice the visualization method to the ninth level at most! As for what to do after that? There was no information, so he couldn't visualize!
You can only wait to become an official member and receive the inheritance again to obtain more information about Yuanchu Star.
"Yuanchu Star!"
Xu Jingming used his spiritual power to copy and outline the Yuanchu Star with all his strength.
The vague Yuanchu Star emerges in the mind's consciousness, illuminating everything and also tempering the spiritual consciousness.
At this moment, Xu Jingming only felt warmth in his heart and no pressure.
After trying for about an hour.
"The second level of the visualization method." Xu Jingming continued to copy and outline the Yuanchu Star. This time, he began to outline each line of light in detail.
As the light became more and more, the image of the entire Yuanchu Star became clearer, but also became hotter, and began to cause Xu Jingming to feel a burning pain, and even all kinds of negative emotions emerged in his mind.
Anxiety, pain, fear, despair, indifference...
“There is less stress and I feel relaxed and comfortable.”
"When you are at the second level of visualization and the pressure is high, all kinds of negative emotions will arise in the mind. According to the visualization method, this means that the mind is not pure enough! No matter how great the pressure is, you need to stay calm and indifferent." Xu Jingming persuaded himself.
Xu Jingming endured it silently for two days before he stopped.
The moment I stopped, I felt extremely relaxed.
"I can feel that my spiritual power has become stronger." Xu Jingming was very surprised. The spiritual power was ethereal and it was difficult to sense a slight improvement. The fact that he felt it so strongly meant that the improvement was significant.
"The Yuanchu Star is truly mysterious. According to the inherited description, if you don't reach the twelfth level of visualization, your consciousness will collapse and you will die if you see the Yuanchu Star with your own eyes! However, visualizing the vague appearance of the Yuanchu Star can temper your spiritual consciousness, which is actually helpful!"
Xu Jingming stayed in the practice room for five days, and initially felt the benefits brought by the practice of "The Light of Light", and became more confident about the future.
This is one of the three supreme inheritances of mankind, which makes his evolutionary path broader and smoother.
"Perhaps I can really become a source life within 500 years." Xu Jingming said secretly, "The biggest difficulty for me to become a source life... is the power of the mind."
As for the physical body? Now it has reached 43 times the actual combat bonus. If you practice a little more seriously in the future, you should be able to meet the requirements.
The spiritual aspect is what requires the greatest effort.
"Um?"
Xu Jingming checked the database of Yuanchu Research Institute. "According to the description above, in order to allow the evolutionists of the human race to improve their spiritual power and give birth to more source life, the Universal Human Alliance has built a special virtual world - the Demon-Subduing World!"
"The world of subduing demons?" Xu Jingming checked the relevant information.
…
After five days of practice, Xu Jingming finally walked out of the practice room and started communicating.
Suddenly, messages came one after another.
"So many people contacted me?" Xu Jingming checked the communication list. There were messages from his master Dai Tongda and his junior sister Dai Xiaoqing, as well as messages from his good friends such as Wang Yi, Yang Qingshuo, Liu Chongyuan, and Heng Fang.
"Sister Xiaoqing is going to hold a wedding in the virtual world on May 1 this year? She invited me to attend?" Xu Jingming looked at it and smiled, "My junior sister is finally getting married?"
Xu Jingming looked at the messages one by one.
"Ever since I entered the Seventh Planet and devoted all my energy to comprehending the opportunities of the Seventh Planet, I have completely shut down communications, and only a few people have permission to contact me. Several months have passed in the blink of an eye, no wonder there are so many messages." Xu Jingming looked at him.
Like Master Liu Hai, although he has the permission to contact, the master knows that Xu Jingming is going to a mysterious place. Before the 330 days expire, he will not disturb Xu Jingming unless it is something important.
"Um?"
Xu Jingming scanned through a large number of messages and finally found seven messages, all from peripheral members of Yuanchu Research Institute.
"Have the other seven peripheral members on the island left me messages?" Xu Jingming took a look at the content and then took the initiative to contact one of them.
Buzz!
Soon, an illusory figure appeared in front of Xu Jingming. It was the Third Prince, but his appearance was different from that in reality. In the virtual world, he was obviously more robust and his face was rougher.
"Brother Wu Ming, I am Gu Shan." The sturdy third prince said with a smile, "I have been trying to contact you for three days, and today I finally meet you in person."
"I've been practicing, sorry." Xu Jingming said politely.
"When you first receive the inheritance, you will practice diligently." Gu Shan said with a smile, "We, the outer members of the Hunter Universe who practice the lineage of "Yuanchu Star Hypothesis", now have eight people, including you. The eight of us must get together. When are you free?"
"Anytime." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
He is still very free now.
The mysterious land has ended, and after experiencing the initial practice of inheritance, it is time to think about the next path.
Of course, he must go to the "Blood Rain World". Master Liu Hai and the others are all rooted in the Blood Rain World, and Xu Jingming has to finish his work before leaving the Blood Rain World.
"Then let's get together in 'Yuanchu City World' today." Gu Shan said, and suddenly asked, "You haven't received your Yuanchu battle suit yet, right?"
"No." Xu Jingming admitted.
"Once you go to the Yuanchu City world, you should not communicate with other people for the time being." Gu Shan said with a smile.
"Is there danger?" Xu Jingming wondered.
So what if we communicate? I have never revealed my real identity information.
"No danger." Gu Shan explained, "The world of Yuanchu City is for the service of all the peripheral members of Yuanchu Research Institute. Everyone comes from various universes! With the help of the 'Yuanchu Battle Suit' consciousness to enter the virtual world network, you can communicate with any universe without any delay. But now..."
"I understand. There is an exaggerated delay when I communicate with people from other universes." Xu Jingming smiled.
For example, when the other person is speaking, it may take a long time before you see their mouth move or sound.
It takes a long time for the other party to see and hear what you say.
"With the help of the Yuanchu battle suit, can I enter the virtual world network?" Xu Jingming was amazed that there is such a function.
"Anytime, anywhere." Gu Shan said with a smile, "Then let's meet in Yuanchu City. I'll send you the detailed information of the meeting place."
…
The virtual world of Yuanchu City has an admission list, and only those on the list can enter.
Xu Jingming is naturally qualified to come in now.
“Wow.”
Appearing high in the sky, Xu Jingming overlooked a city below.
Yuanchu City is a floating city, prosperous and bustling, with endless fog spreading outside the city.
“Whoosh.”
Xu Jingming landed on the street and looked at the buildings of different styles and some service staff. When a service staff saw Xu Jingming, he walked over and talked to him...
But Xu Jingming kept moving forward.
Because when these service staff were talking, the 'Xu Jingming' they saw was a scene that was transmitted after a long delay. Xu Jingming himself had already walked several miles away, so naturally they could not hear his voice.
"The delay is too serious, this is not our universe, and communication is too troublesome." Xu Jingming quickly found the agreed meeting place, the top floor of an oval building.
The entire top floor was reserved.
There are five people here now, chatting.
"I've fallen flat on my face this time." A child lying on the sofa said helplessly, "How could I have imagined that a little girl could be such a terrifying demon? When I was refining the demon, I was caught off guard and failed, and my mind was damaged. For at least five years, I will not be allowed to enter the demon-suppressing world again."
"Chi Tong, you have been in the Demon-Suppressing World for six hundred years. You must have changed your account identities more than a dozen times, right? You are so experienced, but you still fell into such a big trap?" Gu Shan joked with a smile.
The child was helpless: "Just make fun of me as much as you want."
"In a demon-conquering world, you must be careful and do what you can." A beautiful silver-haired woman said with a smile, "If the intelligence is wrong, you can't conquer the demon, and instead hurt your own spiritual consciousness, which would be a big loss."
"Every advantage has its disadvantages. To refine a demon is also to refine one's mind. How can we be negligent in the slightest? Senior Brother Chitong, you are still careless." A woman in black said coldly.
"I know, it's too late to regret!" the child said helplessly as he lay there.
At this time, the door opened.
Three figures walked in one after another.
"You three come together?" Gu Shan stood up immediately.
"Our youngest brother is here!" The child stood up immediately, full of enthusiasm.
Xu Jingming looked at the other seven people present.
"Let me introduce you."
Gu Shan smiled and said, "This is Junior Brother Wu Ming, the eighth peripheral member of our Hunter Universe's "Yuanchu Star Conjecture" lineage, and the youngest one, 31 years old this year."
"Hello, senior brothers and sisters ." Xu Jingming immediately said politely.
Members of Yuanchu Research Institute all call each other brothers and sisters, and only when addressing their teachers are they required to address them as Mr. or Mrs.
"Among the eight of us, I'm the oldest. My name is Gu Shan, and I'm 1001 years old this year." Gu Shan laughed, "I'm ashamed that I haven't become a source life after being over a thousand years old."
Xu Jingming knew that most of the people in the "Yuanchu Star Hypothesis" lineage would break through and become source life within a thousand years.
"This is your senior sister Mo Yu." Gu Shan pointed to a beautiful woman with silver hair.
The beautiful silver-haired woman smiled slightly, and her smile was so warm that Xu Jingming couldn't help but feel a good impression of her.
"Senior Sister Mo Yu." Xu Jingming said.
"I am also 823 years old this year, and I have also failed to become a source of life." Mo Yu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Wu Ming is only 31 years old this year, he is really young."
Xu Jingming smiled and said nothing more.
In fact, in less than a month, I will be 32 years old.
"This is the third child, Chi Tong." Gu Shan pointed at the child, "A 719-year-old guy who has been disguising himself as a child."
"Disguise, do you understand?" Chi Tong immediately retorted, "Every peripheral member of the Yuanchu Research Institute must hide their true identity. I am following the requirements of the institute. Do you understand?"
"But there's no need for that. You've been looking like a child for hundreds of years." Gu Shan curled his lips.
"I like it." Chi Tong looked at Xu Jingming and promised, "Little brother Wu Ming, if you need any help, just let me know."
"This is the fourth sister, Monina." Gu Shan introduced. Monina had emerald green eyes, and a smile appeared on her icy face at this moment. She nodded to Xu Jingming.
"Senior Brother Chitong, Senior Sister Monina." Xu Jingming spoke.
Arranged in order of age, the seven senior brothers and sisters are: Gu Shan, Mo Yu, Chi Tong, Monina, Qing Lin, Cheng Yu, and Kabuya.
"All of my senior brothers and sisters have reached the eighth level, and most of them have even reached the eighth level limit." Xu Jingming said secretly. Even if these senior brothers and sisters did not deliberately release their aura, Xu Jingming could still vaguely sense and judge it.
For example, the sixth ranked 'Chen Yu', who looks like an ordinary young man, is 203 years old, but he has already reached the eighth level limit.
"We are both peripheral members of the Yuanchu Research Institute, and we are both practicing the Yuanchu Star Conjecture." Gu Shan said with a smile, "In the entire Hunter Universe, there are only eight people who have such a fate."
"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together in this vast universe! Come, let's raise our glasses to welcome Junior Brother Wu Ming." Gu Shan said.
Suddenly everyone else stood up.
Some of them have backgrounds as powerful as Tiano. Some are princes of medium-level civilizations in the universe, some are descendants of ancient families in the universe, and some are peerless geniuses born on ordinary planets...
But at this moment, the seven of them all sincerely welcomed Xu Jingming!
Because everyone knows that they will be working with each other for a long time to come.
"Thank you, seniors." Xu Jingming also stood up and raised his glass.
"Drink together."
Gu Shan smiled.
"Let's drink together." The eight people drank the wine in their glasses together.
