Chapter 36 Daughter's Great Limit

Time continued to move forward, and his daughter Xu Lixing also reached her life's end.

"Dad." Xu Lixing leaned against the bed, holding Xu Jingming's hand and smiling, smiling happily, "Don't be sad, I'm very happy and blessed to be your daughter for a lifetime."

Xu Jingming looked at his daughter.

The people who gave birth to him and raised him had all passed away.

His partner was also gone.

Now, his only daughter whom he raised was also leaving.

Even as a half-step Third Realm existence, Xu Jingming felt that his heart was already riddled with holes.

"I know, my pride—my greatest father, is the strongest." The aged Xu Lixing looked at her father and smiled.

Xu Jingming gently touched his daughter's face, "Lixing, Dad loves you very much."

"I love you too, Dad." Xu Lixing smiled slightly, "Let me chat with Meng Tian and the children for a few more words."

"Okay." Xu Jingming got up, looked at his daughter with reluctance, turned and walked out of the house.

Meng Tian, Xu Fangjin, and Xu Biyun immediately entered the house, surrounding Xu Lixing's bedside.

Outside in the courtyard.

Xu Jingming stood alone on the corridor, looking at the endless starry sky, the night growing darker.

"What if I'm a half-step Third Realm?" Xu Jingming reached out and grasped the void, "I still can't stop time, I still can't change the limit of lifespan. I can only accept all this, endure all this."

Finally, late at night, Xu Lixing also passed away.

The aged Meng Tian sat in front of the bed, looking at the deceased Xu Lixing, unwilling to leave for a long time. Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun had already gone out to arrange the funeral.

"Senior Sister, soon, I will come to accompany you." Meng Tian said with a smile.

"Meng Tian." Xu Jingming appeared outside the door.

Meng Tian turned to look at Xu Jingming, "Father-in-law."

"More than 30,000 years ago, you had already mastered the 'Method of Constructing High-Dimensional Lifeforms' and could become a high-dimensional lifeform at any time." Xu Jingming looked at him, "But you have never broken through, and now you even plan to... die with Lixing?"

As a half-step Third Realm existence, able to observe the past and future, Meng Tian's secret could not be concealed from him.

Although the human race now has a group of Cosmic Legends, the most outstanding of them is the extremely low-key Meng Tian. Meng Tian has always been behind his wife Xu Lixing, not revealing his talents, only Xu Jingming, who can observe the past and future, is clear about Meng Tian's progress.

"Father-in-law." Meng Tian was stunned, and nodded, "Yes, I mastered the method of constructing high-dimensional lifeforms more than 30,000 years ago. But I know that the perception of high-dimensional lifeforms to the world is completely different from that of low-dimensional lifeforms."

Xu Jingming nodded.

The same world, in the eyes of ants, is very different from that in the eyes of humans. Both sides are still very ordinary low-dimensional lifeforms.

The difference between the world in the eyes of low-dimensional lifeforms and high-dimensional lifeforms is even greater! Not only are the perceptions of size, color, and taste different, but even the perception of space and time is completely different.

"I want to grow old slowly with Lixing, and experience the same world together." Meng Tian said, "And I also know that my talent is not very high. Under the strong cultivation of you, Father-in-law, my progress has been so slow. My talent... is far worse than that of Vice-Dean Chi Meng. The human race has you five, Father-in-law, whether I am there or not, it doesn't mean much to the human race."

"So, I want to be selfish." Meng Tian looked at Xu Lixing lying on the side, "Leave with Lixing. Because, without her, this world has no meaning for me."

He could not forget the first time he met his Senior Sister.

He could not forget the girl who bought out his contract with a bright smile.

It was she who brought him out of the dark abyss and into the bright world.

"Meng Tian." Xu Jingming understood Meng Tian's state of mind at the moment, "Your death has no meaning for Lixing, it can only represent your selfishness."

"I want to be selfish." Meng Tian said with a smile.

"If you live, there is hope." Xu Jingming said, "I have cultivated for so many years, and I do have a very high talent in the Heart Realm lineage, but my talent in the physical body is very average. I simply cannot create my own dependents. The only way to revive Lixing and the others is for me to break through to the Third Realm! But... the Third Realm is too difficult."

"So, I'll tell you the truth! My hope of reviving them is not great." Xu Jingming looked at Meng Tian.

Meng Tian was stunned.

"I need you to help me." Xu Jingming said, "You still have good talent in the physical body. If you become a half-step Third Realm existence in the physical body, you can revive them. You may be able to do what I can't."

"If you die, you will give up the chance to revive Lixing and the others." After Xu Jingming finished speaking, he turned and left.

Meng Tian was silent.

Yes.

Although his father-in-law is the greatest expert in the entire territory, he is indeed only good at the Heart Realm lineage, and has no achievements in the physical body.

…

Xu Jingming was very clear through observing the future that Meng Tian would definitely choose to break through and become a high-dimensional lifeform after stating that his hope of reviving Lixing and the others was not great.

"This child, his whole life is centered on Lixing." Xu Jingming thought to himself, because Meng Tian treated Lixing extremely well throughout his life, Xu Jingming was naturally very moved and admired Meng Tian very much.

Soon, only half a year after Xu Lixing's death, Meng Tian broke through and became the sixth high-dimensional lifeform of the human race.

But Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun also finally ushered in their great limit.

******

In the cemetery.

One grave after another was silent, Xu Jingming sat alone on the steps, looking at the tombstones in front of him.

His grandparents, parents, parents-in-law, wife, daughter, grandsons, and granddaughters... they all died when they reached the limit of their lifespan, and in theory, it could be considered a joyful funeral.

But Xu Jingming only felt as if the whole world was pressing on his heart.

"Only I am left."

Xu Jingming sat on the steps, drinking wine, "Although I have seen the future time and time again, seeing the scene now. But when it really comes, it is really uncomfortable."

His heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife at all times, painful and uncomfortable, the discomfort spreading throughout his body.

Xu Jingming was very clear that this was purely the pain of the soul affecting the physical body.

"Jingming." A voice sounded, and the thin Dean appeared in the cemetery.

"Dean." Xu Jingming looked up at the Dean.

"You have been in this cemetery for a full century." The Dean said.

"Has it been a century already?" Xu Jingming murmured, "I have been reminiscing, reminiscing about the days I spent with my parents, the beautiful memories I had with my wife and daughter, and I didn't realize that a century had passed."

The Dean looked at the graves, "We all have to get used to it! Every high-dimensional lifeform who comes up from low-dimensional life has to get used to loneliness."

"Get used to it?" Xu Jingming looked at the graves.

"Yes, get used to it."

The Dean said, "The most important people in our lives, we can never forget. The pain of losing them will torment us all the time, but after a long time, we will get used to this pain."

"This pain is also forcing us, forcing us to work harder to become stronger. Because only when we are strong enough can we revive those who were most important to us from the past timeline." The Dean said.

Xu Jingming nodded.

"You shouldn't always be immersed in it." After the Dean finished speaking, he disappeared.

Xu Jingming sat on the steps without moving, but silently drank wine, looking at the tombstones.

…

In the Nanting 3609 Territory, Island Lord Di Long had been paying close attention to Xu Jingming, because he knew that his teacher had begun to get involved.

"This Wu Ming's talent is too high, and his growth is too fast! So he can help the loved ones of low-dimensional lifeforms to live for 100,000 years, but because of this, their feelings for each other are also very deep." Through cause and effect, Island Lord Di Long saw that Xu Jingming was still in that cemetery, "His loved ones are leaving one by one, and he is still immersed in beautiful memories."

"Seeing him, I seem to see my teacher."

"My teacher is also like this, with deep feelings for his loved ones. After becoming the Third Realm, he revived his loved ones and gave them eternal life."

"At first, the days were very beautiful, spending wonderful years, but what was the result? The minds and wills of those loved ones were all ordinary, and in the face of a long time, their minds eventually decayed and twisted. Ultimately bringing greater sadness to the teacher."

Island Lord Di Long looked at Xu Jingming in the cemetery, "This Wu Ming's talent is outstanding, and he may be able to become the Third Realm in the future! But what if he does? He will also embark on the teacher's old path, and will also face the days when his loved ones' minds decay and twist."

"The more affectionate you are, the more you will be hurt by love." Island Lord Di Long said silently.

******

Xu Jingming didn't know how long he had stayed in this cemetery, he only knew that the Dean, the Tower Master, the Island Lord, Chi Meng, and Meng Tian had all come. Xu Jingming was very clear about what he was doing, but he was unwilling to stop.

He was immersed in many beautiful memories, which were the most precious memories of his life.

"Huh?"

Xu Jingming raised his head, the wine pot in his hand poured and poured, but there was no more wine left.

"Finished drinking?" Xu Jingming got up, "Now that I've finished drinking, it's time to go out."

Xu Jingming looked at the names on the tombstones, as if looking at familiar figures.

"Only when I lost you did I realize how much you meant to me."

Xu Jingming took a step, his figure blurred and he had already entered the Heart Realm, having already left the scope of the universe.

In a chaotic Heart Realm.

Xu Jingming's eyes were dim, and there was too much anger, sadness, unwillingness, and longing in his heart. A Heart Realm spear appeared in his hand.

"Hua—"

This spear, silent and soundless, turned into endless darkness, enveloping everything, permeating everything.

Darkness covered, unable to see hope.

The fourth style of *Jin Ge*—Night!

As if being in a long, long night, the night was extremely long, extremely agonizing, Xu Jingming was firmly waiting for the moment when 'dawn' would break.

"My Dao Domain! My Dao Domain!"

"You are my Dao!"

Xu Jingming whispered softly, even knowing that becoming the Third Realm was very difficult, Xu Jingming did not waver in the slightest at this moment.

Only at this moment did Xu Jingming completely complete 'practicing my Dao.'

The 'My Dao Domain' completely broke through, only then was he qualified to begin comprehending the last realm of the Eight Direction Chart—the Great Freedom Realm!

"Great Freedom? Great Freedom?"

"How can I have Great Freedom?" Xu Jingming laughed self-deprecatingly, took a step, and disappeared into the Heart Realm.
