638 I Am Everywhere (Final Chapter of Volume)

Xu Jingming’s mind was consumed by the mystery as he unlocked a sliver of new power, born from a small world that exploded into existence. This was the Heart Realm Force he had always yearned for.

Though it was minuscule and weak, the Heart Realm Force carried an endless supply of energy that flowed into Xu Jingming’s body, nourishing and strengthening the Heart Realm Force within him.

As long as he could withstand the influx of power, Xu Jingming would be able to tap into the infinite energy of the tiny world, becoming more and more powerful.

Xu Jingming marveled at the majesty of the high-dimensional Heart Realm.

High-dimensional space was filled with mysterious places, like the Mother Stream, a majestic network of tributaries that gave birth to universes and the countless low-dimensional lifeforms that lived within them.

The Heart Realm was also a unique and enigmatic location in high-dimensional space.

The Heart Realm I established is only an inconspicuous corner of the true Heart Realm. Xu Jingming knew this very well. Even the Heart Realm created by the third-realm high-dimensional being, Master of the Abyssal Void, was just a small part of the true Heart Realm, which was vast and infinite.

Many high-dimensional mental lineage beings called the Heart Realm home.

Although I’ve created a tiny world within my own Heart Realm, I can’t enter it yet. Xu Jingming realized as he sensed the vast expanse. Mastering the Heart Realm Force is the key to entry.

And I’ll need to construct a high-dimensional lifeform to make my own body suitable for survival within the Heart Realm before I can enter it. Xu Jingming knew exactly what his next steps needed to be.

There was no doubt that using the Heart Realm Force to construct a high-dimensional lifeform was the only way for such a being to be able to traverse the Heart Realm.

Many high-dimensional lifeforms would envy and covet the ability to travel the Heart Realm.

But Xu Jingming knew that the Heart Realm he had created was crude, with a dark Primordial Star hanging in the sky, illuminating a vast land with no vegetation or life. However, this tiny world in high-dimensional space contained infinite power for a low-dimensional lifeform like him.

Master of the Abyssal Void. Xu Jingming suddenly thought of Master of the Abyssal Void.

A true projection of Him appeared in his mind.

He wore a black robe, and the darkness in the black robe contained countless secrets and knowledge. Xu Jingming could sense a large amount of high-dimensional information surging into his mind.

He had a calm expression as he smiled at Xu Jingming.

His eyes were gentle and kind.

“Little One, the path has been left to you. It all depends on how far you can go on it,” Master of the Abyssal Void said, before the projection collapsed into a dot that merged into Xu Jingming’s consciousness.

…

Xu Jingming stood in his prison cell, a scarlet flame flickering between his eyebrows before receding beneath his skin.

“Painful emotions are only the most superficial emotions of Master of the Abyssal Void,” Xu Jingming muttered to himself. “His achievements in the mental lineage are countless times higher than mine. My heart lotus can only be considered basic.”

“He has billions of personas.”

He realized that the projection was actually an opportunity, but for those with insufficient mental strength and no basic mastery in the Abyssal Void legacy, it could be corrupting.

Xu Jingming, however, had not only achieved basic mastery but had also successfully grasped the Heart Realm Force. This true projection naturally provided the corresponding feedback and passed on the high-dimensional lifeform legacy, Red Lotus Fire, which suited Xu Jingming best.

Tutenmu probably wants to sense the process of my breakthrough and possess me to experience the changes in my mind so that he can gain some insights into my path? Xu Jingming looked at the surrounding prison walls. Unfortunately for him, I’m imprisoned.

Now that he had already broken through, Xu Jingming was confident that the Void Celestials’ hopes of prying into his heart were futile.

Those who grasped Heart Realm Force had very tight control over their minds.

“At most, he can gather some superficialities from the possession,” Xu Jingming muttered. “I’d be really impressed if he can figure out the heart lotus with this.”

Suddenly, the cell door of the Spacetime Prison opened, and Xu Jingming saw the three people who had escorted him there—Deputy Dean Redmond, Deputy Island Lord Fasci, and Defender Whitejail—standing outside.

Spacetime Island had been monitoring Xu Jingming and had already discovered his mastering of the Heart Realm Force.

“Impressive.” Deputy Dean Redmond smiled brightly. “You broke through to become a cosmic legend in just 1,800 years of cultivating the evolutionary method! Junior Brother, we cosmic legends feel ashamed compared to you.”

“Even someone like you who became a cosmic legend in 10,000 years is ashamed. What about us who spent tens of thousands of years?” Defender Whitejail mocked self-deprecatingly.

“Just 1,800 years—and it’s the power of a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform.” Deputy Island Lord Fasci shook his head in amazement. “I think highly of myself, but Wu Ming, you still dumbfound me.”

“He grasped the power of a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform in 1,800 years. He’s unique in the history of the cosmic human race,” Defender Whitejail sighed.

This talent was indeed astonishing.

The black-robed Xu Jingming walked out of the prison and smiled at the three people in front of him. “Sorry to trouble the three of you to pick me up.”

“We sent you in, so we naturally have to send you out,” Deputy Island Lord Fasci looked at Xu Jingming with interest. “Brother Wu Ming, I have a request… I wonder if you can agree.”

“I’m all ears,” Xu Jingming said.

“I’m very curious about the legendary third-realm high-dimensional lifeform’s power, Heart Realm Force,” Deputy Island Lord Fasci said. “I wonder if Brother Wu Ming can use it and let me experience it.”

Tutenmu, the only one of the Void Celestial’s cosmic legends who had grasped Heart Realm Force, was too highly ranked to easily get involved in a battle with humans.

“I’m curious too.” Defender Whitejail was also eager to see it in action.

“The Heart Realm Force can be illusory or tangible,” Xu Jingming said. “I’ll use a ‘tangible’ move. Be careful, both of you.”

Defender Whitejail and Deputy Island Lord Fasci waited solemnly when an invisible force suddenly enveloped them, changing their expressions as they found the binding force boundless. It enveloped every part of them with nowhere to hide and unimaginable in its might.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Defender Whitejail transformed into a blur of light, and Deputy Island Lord Fasci’s body rapidly expanded, turning huge.

The surrounding space has been distorted, forming a world of its own. No matter how Defender Whitejail moved, he couldn’t escape.

“It’s a world wherever the Heart Realm Force envelops,” Xu Jingming said, smiling and nodding. “As for me, I’m the master of this world. I’m using the power of the world to suppress and restrain you.”

Heart Realm Force was the foundation of the Heart Realm in high-dimensional space, and it was countless times more stable and sturdy than low-dimensional spacetime. Even Defender Whitejail couldn’t escape the restraints of this world.

“Time out! Time out!” Defender Whitejail shouted.

“Let’s stop for now.” Cracks appeared on Deputy Island Lord Fasci’s body as he spoke helplessly, unable to resist the suppression and binding force.

“Just the external suppression is unavoidable,” Defender Whitejail said, shaking his head. “It’s as if the world is about to be destroyed. Isn’t the Heart Realm Force too terrifying?”

“As expected of a third-realm high-dimensional power,” Deputy Island Lord Fasci nodded. “It’s much stronger than us. It’s no wonder the Void Celestials have always placed great importance on the five legacies.”

“The Heart Realm Force originates from the mind,” Deputy Dean Redmond said with a smile. “It’s best at targeting the mind. As for constructing a world to suppress it? It’s considered a superficial move.”

Targeting the mind? Defender Whitejail and Deputy Island Lord Fasci muttered to themselves.

The things he wasn’t good at were terrifying enough. If he had targeted their minds too, they had no idea if they could even fight back.

“Back when I faced Tutenmu, I could only guard my mind,” Redmond continued.

“Although Tutenmu and I have both grasped Heart Realm Force, it’s different for anyone who has grasped it.” Xu Jingming smiled at the three of them. “Thanks for getting me out of there. I’ll make my move now.”

“I’ll see you out,” Deputy Island Lord Fasci offered.

“There’s no need.” Xu Jingming shook his head. “I’m everywhere!”

And with that, he vanished before their eyes.

“He left?” Fasci exclaimed in surprise. “But this place was constructed by the Island Lord. How did he escape?”

Redmond thought for a moment. “I think Xu Jingming has become something like a psychic being.”

Xu Jingming could feel that many people in the vast human domain were thinking of him. Every place held an anchor mark created by the mind, and Xu Jingming could appear at any of these marks.

“Many people on Earth in the Milky Way have been mentioning me,” Xu Jingming said with a smile, focusing on Earth.

…

Earth, China’s National Library. Xu Jingming’s biographies were stored here.

Many biographies had been read. Over the years, imprints were left on the old books.

Suddenly, an invisible force emerged from one of the books—”Spear Demon Xu Jingming”—and condensed into the form of a black-robed man.

The man picked up the book and chuckled. Looks like quite a few people have read this one.

Earth.

Xu Jingming gazed up at the planet, his eyes taking in the entire view; he saw his wife, daughter, and many people he missed. I’m back.
