633 Practicing Spearmanship While Clear-Headed, Practicing Spearmanship While Mad
Redmond and the others stood in the void and sighed as they looked at the cubic prison in front of them. The most dazzling genius of the human race was ultimately imprisoned after being corrupted by high-dimensional powers.
“I wonder when he will be released,” Defender Whitejail said with a sigh. “I wonder if I’ll see him released before my death.”
“It’s not easy to grasp Heart Realm Force,” Deputy Island Lord Fasci commented. “After all, this is a high-dimensional power that originates from the third realm.”
Although he had confidence in Xu Jingming, believing that he would be able to grasp the ordinary high-dimensional power quickly, to do so while corrupted? It was too difficult.
“Let’s go,” Redmond said.
Deputy Island Lord Fasci then brought the two of them out of that piece of spacetime.
…
In the Spacetime Prison.
Xu Jingming stood alone. His gaze passed through the obstruction of the prison walls and clearly saw the void outside; he also saw the Redmond trio leave.
He was in empty spacetime. There was only the cubic prison and one living being—the imprisoned Xu Jingming.
This prison… Xu Jingming walked over and reached out to touch the wall as he tried exerting strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power that was enough to crush a star caused spacetime to tremble, but the prison wall remained intact.
“Master, this was built by Spacetime Island Lord. Even a first-realm high-dimensional lifeform will probably find it difficult to destroy this prison, much less you,” Nine said.
108 meters long, 108 meters wide, and 108 meters tall—it’s an absolute cube. Xu Jingming observed the prison. There’s no bed or anything in the prison.
As an Origin lifeform, he could absorb Cosmic Force to maintain his existence, so he naturally didn’t need food and water.
Xu Jingming liked visiting restaurants purely for enjoyment. He was now stripped of his right to enjoy delicacies during his imprisonment.
Xu Jingming walked to the center of the prison and sat cross-legged.
If I want to grasp Heart Realm Force, I have to accommodate the Dark Primordial Star and refine it until it evolves into Heart Realm. Only then can my mental strength completely transform into Heart Realm Force. Xu Jingming knew very well that perhaps the Abyssal Void legacy had other paths to grasp Heart Realm Force, but this was the only high-dimensional information he had gathered using the imitation method.
I’ll practice my spear every day from now on. I’ll use spearmanship to accommodate the Dark Primordial Star. Even if my memories are messed up or I go crazy, I still have to practice my spearmanship.
Xu Jingming didn’t like being crazy; he preferred to figure out the evolutionary path when he was sober. However, he had no choice now. The corruption would keep distorting his understanding of the world without him realizing it.
So what if I’m crazy? As long as my spearmanship improves and I can accommodate more, there will come a day when accommodating the Dark Primordial Star would be sufficient to evolve me to Heart Realm. Xu Jingming was already prepared.
The path of accommodation could be carried out in a lucid state. He could still proceed even in madness!
I have to prevent myself from going crazy and forgetting about spearmanship training, Xu Jingming sat there and thought.
“Nine,” Xu Jingming called out.
“Master,” Nine replied.
“While I’m still conscious, I’ll set up a sobriety test. There are 1,000 questions and detailed answers. Just one mistake means that I’m not lucid and that I’m in a crazy state. When that happens, I’m not allowed to read my family’s letters or reply… You don’t have to follow my orders.”
“Master, do you mean that you have to first answer a sobriety test when instructing me in the future?” Nine asked.
“We shall begin that tomorrow,” Xu Jingming answered.
“Alright,” Nine replied.
“I’ll produce this sobriety test now. Take note of the detailed answers.” Xu Jingming began to record the questions and answers. As a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform, he finished in less than a second—
The 1,000 questions and answers appeared. These questions were actually important matters in Xu Jingming’s life. For example, he was the only one who knew some things about his family and friends.
“Even if I lose my memory, if I have an understanding of all the answers, I’ll know my life’s key experiences,” Xu Jingming murmured.
“If you lose your memory…. There are a total of 983,201 words in the 1,000 questions; it’s impossible for you to get everything correct,” Nine replied.
“This is the password. I remember all 983,201 words clearly, and my memory remains intact. Perhaps I can’t reach the normal level of an Origin lifeform, but I can be considered ‘lucid,’” Xu Jingming said.
Xu Jingming then began writing another Dark Primordial Star Spear Art.
“Nine, the Dark Primordial Star Spear Art is a path that uses spearmanship to temper the mind and condense the mind. It’s a cultivation method integrated from the high-dimensional information I obtained via imitation,” Xu Jingming said. “To prevent me from forgetting the cultivation method when I go crazy, you are to constantly project this Dark Primordial Star Spear Art on the prison walls!”
“Yes, Master,” Nine replied.
Soon, nearly half of the wall in the prison was filled with the Dark Primordial Star Spear Art’s dense words and patterns.
Xu Jingming looked at the content and nodded slightly.
The key points of the high-dimensional information obtained from the imitation method have been recorded. As for evolving the Dark Primordial Star… My mental strength is enough to pry into high-dimensional space. I can pry into the real Primordial Star and understand more about it. Xu Jingming felt that he was very well-prepared.
Xu Jingming extended his hand, and a spear appeared in it. “Time to practice my spearmanship.”
“Does spearmanship require an opponent? I can still practice without an opponent.” Xu Jingming began practicing his spearmanship.
…
Virtual world network, Wu Ming’s World.
“What? The rules of Wu Ming’s World have changed?”
Countless people looked at the rules that appeared in the sky—
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 enter the Sky Arena.
3: The Sky Arena will have its rankings updated in real-time. The higher the ranking, the higher the reward. (Refer to the Sky Arena instructions for the detailed rules)
Note: As Lord Wu Ming is in seclusion, Wu Ming’s World will be officially taken over by the Cosmic Human Alliance.
“Sky Arena?”
“In the past, we could only challenge Lord Wu Ming. Now, we can challenge many other Origin lifeforms?”
“There are plenty of rewards.”
Countless people quickly accepted these changes.
“Actually, I’ve long guessed it. Lord Wu Ming is an Origin lifeform; how can he accept challenges every day? Getting the Cosmic Human Alliance officials to take over is a good way to maintain Wu Ming’s World for a long time.”
“Lord Wu Ming suddenly wants to enter seclusion. Is he going to break through to become a cosmic legend?”
“How can he be that fast!? Lord Wu Ming hasn’t even cultivated the evolutionary method for a thousand years.”
People jested.
Everyone could understand the changes in Wu Ming’s World. It was very normal.
“The officials have taken over?” Wu Qi looked up at the three new rules in the sky and was rather worried. “I wonder what happened to Young Master. He might be gone for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.”
“Wu Ming’s World has changed.” Li Miaomiao and her daughter, Xu Lixing, had also arrived. They saw the changes in Wu Ming’s World and were worried about Xu Jingming.
******
Days passed.
Being imprisoned, Xu Jingming suffered abnormally painful emotions every day. He had nowhere to vent—not even in the virtual world.
“Nine, let me try the sobriety test,” Xu Jingming said as he opened his eyes. He would test himself every day in prison to understand his condition.
“Alright, Master.”
Soon, a sobriety test appeared on the projection in front of him.
Xu Jingming scanned it. With a thought, he filled the entire test with dense replies—there were a total of 983,201 words, not a word more or less.
“Master, there’s a mistake in your answer,” Nine replied.
“A mistake?” Xu Jingming’s expression changed slightly. He carefully looked at his answer and instantly checked it a hundred times in his mind. “I never expected my memory to become unstable just three months into my imprisonment.”
He still felt very clear-headed. However, the test couldn’t be wrong—the stability of his memory was dropping.
“Time for spear practice.” Xu Jingming extended his hand, and he used the Force to condense a spear. He began the days of evolving the Dark Primordial Star with his spearmanship.
…
Void Celestial territory.
Tens of billions of lives lived on one of the habitable planets. All of them were asleep in the densely-packed buildings.
Buzz.
A purple-robed Tutenmu stood on the grass.
These tens of billions of lives were naturally provided with energy, ensuring their survival. Their consciousnesses lived in an illusory Heart Realm while they slept.
In the Heart Realm, tens of billions of lives formed many countries. They married and had children, and they fought and killed. After they died, they reincarnated and began new lives.
“Tutenmu.” Suddenly, a voice sounded from afar.
“Ambassador Vicar.” Tutenmu smiled. “What’s the matter? Why are you in a hurry to contact me?”
“Your most important test subject—Human Wu Ming—has encountered a special situation. I believe it was imperative to inform you.” The voice sounded in Tutenmu’s ears.
“What happened?” Tutenmu was puzzled.
“A few months ago, Human Wu Ming was taken away by Redmond, Fasci, and Whitejail for imprisonment,” the voice said. “They imprisoned him in a special spacetime. It was personally built by Spacetime Island Lord; I can’t spy on it.”
“Ambassador Vicar, you can’t spy on that place?” Tutenmu’s expression changed.
“Yes, in terms of attainments in spacetime, only Master can match Spacetime Island Lord. It’s also very difficult for Master to track Spacetime Island Lord in a one-on-one battle,” Ambassador Vicar said. “I can’t spy on the place built by Spacetime Island Lord.”
“If I can’t spy into his imprisoned days, you won’t be able to possess him and take in his experiences,” Ambassador Vicar said.
Tutenmu was stunned.
