626 Condensing Eight Times
I temper my heart with spearmanship, but it’s difficult to find an opponent now. Xu Jingming sat on a chair, feeling rather vexed.
The path to the power of Master of the Abyssal Void’s Heart Realm Force required repeated ‘heart condensation.’ This required a medium! Some people used painting to temper their hearts, while others used saber techniques to temper their hearts… They had to be devoted and completely invested.
Xu Jingming chose spearmanship, but his attainments were too high now. The combat generals in Combat Generals World appeared too weak.
“Nine, do you have any ideas?” Xu Jingming asked Nine. As the numbered Primordial Battle Armor’s AI, it had experienced many things over the years and was quite knowledgeable. It often gave him good suggestions.
“Master, it’s not that they’re weak but that you’re too strong.” Nine’s voice sounded. “Master, when you were a cosmic lifeform, you became number one in Battle of the Universe’s Apex in mere decades.”
“After the high-dimensional corruption… With your mental realm, you followed Master of the Abyssal Void’s spearmanship path and used spearmanship to temper your mind. It’s been more than 300 years. During this period, you seek out combat generals to compete with every day. Master, your spearmanship… is much stronger than when you were a cosmic lifeform.”
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
Yeah, those combat generals were at most close to his limit as a cosmic lifeform.
I’m only competing in spearmanship, but even if I reduce my strength and speed, they still appear clumsy, Xu Jingming thought. In my eyes, these combat generals’ moves are filled with flaws. Even if my speed is reduced to an extremely low level, they still can’t hide anything… I find their moves too crude.
“This is what makes a qualitative difference,” Nine continued. “The minds and consciousness of these combat generals are much inferior to yours. There will naturally be a gap in weaponry techniques.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
“Master, you can try finding powerhouses whose minds and consciousness aren’t inferior to yours,” Nine said. “There are still many Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms with high-dimensional minds in the Cosmic Human Alliance.”
“They have accumulated a lot in all aspects. Even if they abandon their weapon techniques after becoming Origin lifeforms, they will quickly surpass their former peak Lv. 8 selves once they pick up their weapons again.”
Nine said, “Their threat level will far exceed that of combat generals.”
Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up as he nodded slightly. “Yeah.”
There are many Lv. 10 fellows who have extremely strong minds and have accumulated more knowledge than me. Xu Jingming smiled. As long as they practice with their weapons, they will improve by leaps and bounds in the early stages. They are excellent grinding stones.
The further one advanced, the harder it became to improve, but their improvement in the early stages was usually very rapid. It was enough to be his sparring partner.
“Let’s do that.” Xu Jingming quickly determined a solution. “Nine, thank you.”
“Master, how do you plan on getting their help?” Nine asked. “High-dimensional existences with minds are all extraordinary. It’s impossible for them to spend decades just to be your sparring partner.”
Xu Jingming smiled. “It’s impossible for them to waste decades for me, but they will be willing to do so for their own evolution.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the vast Wu Ming’s World, Xu Jingming stood in the sky and extended his hands. “Rise.”
Mountains emerged from the ground.
“A game world is very simple.” Xu Jingming smiled and looked at the sky. Words began to appear in the sky.
The rules of Wu Ming’s world—
1: All players are limited to the same physique and can choose any weapon.
2: You can obtain 100 billion cosmic dollars as a reward for clearing the three obstacles on the mountain and obtain a chance to fight Wu Ming one-on-one.
3: You can obtain 1 trillion cosmic dollars as a reward for lasting a minute against Wu Ming. You can obtain 100 trillion cosmic dollars as a reward for lasting ten minutes. You can obtain 10 quadrillion cosmic dollars as a reward for defeating Wu Ming.
“Uncle Qi.” Xu Jingming led Uncle Qi to the game world.
“Wh—?” Wu Qi looked at the newly constructed game world in surprise and the game rules in the sky.
“Defeat you to receive 10 quadrillion cosmic dollars?” Wu Qi found it unbelievable.
“Yeah.” Xu Jingming grinned. “I have plenty of money. If they have the ability, defeat me. Unfortunately… it’s probably difficult to find an Origin lifeform in the entire universe who can defeat me with a weapon.”
“I seek a loss, but it might evade me,” Xu Jingming said. These words came from the bottom of his heart.
When fighting in reality, Xu Jingming was confident in being in the top five among Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms. This included all the top factions of the human race!
After all, in the past 200 years, Xu Jingming had used his spearmanship to accommodate the Dark Primordial Star. He had accommodated, refined, and condensed his mind time and time again. Now, his mental strength had undergone eight transformations.
It had to be known that his mind was already high-dimensional before the abnormal emotions appeared. On this high-dimensional mental foundation, he condensed another eight more times! Clearly, Xu Jingming—who had taken the Heart Realm Force path—had terrifying mental strength.
Being ranked in the top five among Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms below cosmic legends was already Xu Jingming’s relatively humble understanding. In fact, Deputy Dean Redmond, Secretary General Blacksky, and the others—who knew how terrifying third-realm high-dimensional strength was—knew very well how terrifying Xu Jingming’s current strength was.
I’m ranked in the top five in reality, but in the virtual world where it’s purely a competition of techniques? I’m not being arrogant; I really can’t find an opponent, Xu Jingming thought. I hope they can give me a surprise.
“Young Master, you can obtain a reward of 100 billion just by clearing the three levels?” Wu Qi asked. “Isn’t that too much?”
“The difficulty of clearing the three levels is equivalent to entering Battle of the Universe’s Apex’s top ten,” Xu Jingming explained.
“Top ten?” Wu Qi was surprised.
This was too difficult.
“Actually, I set up the test in this game world for Origin lifeforms,” Xu Jingming remarked with a smile. “If there are peerless geniuses among cosmic lifeforms who can pass the third level, I will naturally fight them.”
The difficulty of being in the top ten of Battle of the Universe’s Apex was too despairing for cosmic lifeforms. Only a handful of people could clear it.
For Origin lifeforms, it could only be considered a ‘difficult’ test. Although most would be eliminated, many would still pass.
“Uncle Qi, contact the virtual world officials and publicize the news of Wu Ming’s World,” Xu Jingming instructed. “Limit the advertising fee to 100 billion.”
“Right on it, Young Master.” Wu Qi nodded and then asked, “Young Master, isn’t the advertising fee a little low?”
“I’ll personally introduce and promote it to the Origin lifeforms,” Xu Jingming replied.
…
In his personal space in the virtual world.
Xu Jingming wrote a passionate handwritten letter.
Yes, it should be able to attract many Origin lifeforms. Xu Jingming read the letter and nodded with a smile. After all, I’ve written down the details and key points of the mental purification method I’ve figured out.
Group message! All Origin lifeforms of the human race.
Xu Jingming sent a handwritten group message to everyone including the cosmic legends.
…
The Primestar civilization’s emperor, Lunarstar, was a little surprised.
Wu Ming wrote me a handwritten letter? Lunarstar was puzzled. I’m on bad terms with him. Why would Wu Ming put in so much effort to write me a handwritten letter?
Lunarstar opened it.
The contents of the letter were written clearly.
“Refining the heart with weapons can temper the mind?” Lunarstar murmured. “Is this the secret of Wu Ming’s outstanding talent?”
He created the game world, Wu Ming’s World, and one can challenge him just by clearing the three levels? Defeating him will earn the person 10 quadrillion cosmic dollars? Lunarstar couldn’t help but be tempted. How generous. This lunatic is really rich!
This wealth could buy more than ten galaxies.
…
Lord Wu Ming says that he achieved his high-dimensional mind because his spearmanship tempers his mind?
…
Lord Wu Ming’s handwritten letter records the 12 key points in weaponry mental tempering. Once one succeeds, their mind can be completely purified?
…
All the Origin lifeforms in the cosmic human race read the handwritten letter.
There aren’t any latent risks when spearmanship is used to temper the mind for the basics. Xu Jingming looked forward to it. I’ve recorded the key points in the letter. The other Origin lifeforms can also use this opportunity to purify their minds.
His mind was purified in the direction of the Shadow of Abyssal Void.
It was beneficial and harmless for others to purify their minds when they were without high-dimensional corruption.
What I gave was a method to purify the mind without any latent risks. I believe it will attract many Origin lifeforms who are stuck at a bottleneck to try it, Xu Jingming thought. Once they begin tempering their minds with weapons, they’ll naturally seek out weapon experts.
And I’m the strongest weapon expert. Xu Jingming looked forward to it.
The more Origin lifeforms that could temper the mind with weapons, the better. They could also help him go further.

Deputy Dean Redmond sat in the Primordial Research Institute’s headquarters building.
“Deputy Dean Redmond, the dean has replied.” Secretary General Blacksky appeared.
“What did the dean say?” Redmond asked. “Are there any latent problems with the weaponry mental tempering method Xu Jingming provided?”
Although he placed great importance on Xu Jingming, Redmond and the others were still alarmed when a genius with high-dimensional corruption suddenly sent a group message to all the Origin lifeforms. The letter even revealed a cultivation method for mental strength.
They were worried that this method would bring disaster! That would implicate too many Origin lifeforms.
“The dean said that this is a method of mental purification. Once mastered, it will only purify the mind, and there’s a limited extent to increasing one’s mental strength. But after the mind is purified, it can be more compatible with one’s visualization. It’s harmless, but it comes with all the benefits,” Blacksky said.
“Beneficial and harmless?” Redmond was relieved. “It looks like it’s not a bad supplementary evolutionary method.”
“There are still thresholds,” Blacksky commented. “The longer one lives and the more experiences one has, the more chaotic one’s mind becomes. That increases the difficulty to purify the mind. On the contrary, it’s much smoother for those with pure minds.”
“As long as it’s helpful.” Redmond smiled. “That’s some contribution on Xu Jingming’s part, but 10 quadrillion as prize money? He’s really confident. I’ll try defeating him later and get a share of his prize money!”
“You are participating?” Blacksky was surprised.
“He also sent me a handwritten letter and invited me to participate. Of course, I can participate,” Redmond said with a smile. “However, there’s no rush. Let him be smug for a while.”
“You want to know his strength, right?” Blacksky immediately guessed. “You’re afraid of embarrassing yourself if you attack directly.”
Redmond nodded and admitted, “This kid’s weapon techniques can’t be underestimated. I have to be careful; I’m the deputy dean after all. As long as I participate, I have to win beautifully!”
As the deputy dean—as someone going to become a high-dimensional lifeform in the future—reputation was still very important.
If Xu Jingming’s weaponry skill was too strong, he wouldn’t participate.
