Xu Jingming looked at the territory relic core boulder, quite satisfied. "This territory relic is quite a good harvest! It allowed me to glimpse the path of 'Mind Weapon.'"

"Almost all high-dimensional lifeforms of the Heart Realm lineage can travel the Heart Realm and explore countless territory relics. Exploring a million territory relics is 'commonplace'. I'm just starting out!"

Xu Jingming had read "Heart Realm Exploration Guidelines" and knew these common facts.

His Pure Lotus clone was just a wisp of flame and had to rely on his own territory. It couldn't stray too far, so its exploration range was limited.

But true Heart Realm high-dimensional lifeforms could explore to their heart's content.

After reaching the Eternal Realm, theoretically, their lifespans were endless! The number of territory relics explored would naturally be enormous. Millions or even tens of millions of territory relics were normal.

After all, throughout the long history of high-dimensional space, the number of deceased Heart Realm high-dimensional lifeforms was also vast.

"My first exploration yielded results. It also has something to do with being new."

A newcomer is practically a blank slate. In the early stages, almost every territory relic would be somewhat helpful. The more he saw, the fewer things would resonate with him. Xu Jingming understood this point.

Having seen a lot, and having experienced all the schools of Heart Realm experts, it would be difficult to get further help.

"Territory relics are common, but inheritances are precious." Xu Jingming frowned slightly. The院长 (院长 - dean/institute director) had paid a price to buy a copy of *Heart Realm Three Lines*. Inheritances were very precious!

Powerful inheritances were generally recorded personally by the creator! There might only be a few original copies. For example, *Dream Hado* was the only original copy left behind by the monster Dream Hado before its death.

"I heard that some territory relics set up trials. Passing the trials would grant one the original copy of the inheritance. But the few original copies of the inheritance have long been taken away by generations of experts after countless years," Xu Jingming sighed.

"But the relics of the Third Realm are an exception!" Xu Jingming thought to himself.

The existences of the Third Realm had already converged all their power into one!

The past, present, and future were under their control. If they didn't want to die… they could do it. They would never die!

"They themselves are the ultimate of all power. Their methods are equally inconceivable."

"Normal Eternal lifeforms have to painstakingly write down a powerful inheritance personally. So there are only a limited number of inheritances."

"But for the existences of the Third Realm, a word, an image, could transform into an inheritance. It's just that their standards are very high, and the threshold is also high. It's not easy to obtain their inheritance," Xu Jingming thought.

The human race didn't have a single Third Realm inheritance to date.

The Void Clan had five great inheritances.

"I wonder if I can obtain a complete inheritance from the Third Realm." Xu Jingming was still very eager because having an inheritance would mean having a clearer understanding of the Third Realm.

But even for him, a high-dimensional lifeform of the Heart Realm lineage who could explore a large number of relics, finding a Third Realm inheritance was still extremely difficult. "Let's go, to the next place!"

Looking at the territory relic before him, Xu Jingming smiled slightly and flew into the distance.

After flying out of the territory relic's range and continuing forward in the chaos, Xu Jingming stopped after about half an hour. "This is the limit of my distance from the territory." Flames rose from Xu Jingming's body. The Pure Lotus Fire had already begun to become unstable!

"A spherical space with the territory as the center and the limit distance as the radius! This is the area I can explore in the cosmic legend stage," Xu Jingming naturally outlined a detailed range in his heart.

And with a thought, he drew his exploration route in his mind.

Using as few routes as possible to explore as large an area as possible.

"Territory relics generally have a large range. Therefore, my exploration route can maintain a sufficient distance," Xu Jingming transformed into a stream of light and continued flying, searching.

Time passed.

On Blue Star, Xu Jingming was still studying how to construct a high-dimensional lifeform. The two clones were also studying *Heart Realm Three Lines* and *Red Lotus Fire* respectively, while the Pure Lotus clone was monotonously flying and searching.

"Jingming, tell me about the Heart Realm. How's the exploration going?" Li Miaomiao was full of curiosity about the 'Heart Realm' in high-dimensional space.

"Just constantly searching," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "It's very boring anyway."

"You've been searching in the Heart Realm for three years," Li Miaomiao couldn't help but say.

"Even if I fly for a hundred years, I still have to fly and search slowly." Xu Jingming didn't care. If he became a high-dimensional lifeform, he could contact other Heart Realm experts and buy some coordinates of territory relics.

If other experts had explored tens of thousands of territory relics, then he could go and buy their coordinates.

Knowing the coordinates, he wouldn't have to run around like a fool in the vast chaos of the Heart Realm. He could directly go to one 'target' after another.

The actual traveling speed of Heart Realm experts was very fast!

Even faster than experts of the Mother River lineage!

"Now, I'm just a cosmic legend, only able to explore around the territory," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"I believe there must be other relics around your territory," Li Miaomiao said.

"Hopefully. In any case, I definitely have to carefully investigate the surroundings, leaving no place unexplored," Xu Jingming said. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Li Miaomiao asked in surprise.

Xu Jingming kissed his wife and happily said, "You said there were other relics around, and I've really discovered a second one."

"A second one?" Li Miaomiao was a little excited.

"Yes, this second one looks a little unusual." Xu Jingming was also excited.

The area around the territory seemed small, but Xu Jingming could only sense things within a thousand miles, so he could only explore one place at a time.

Now, he had finally discovered a second territory relic.

"This relic?" Xu Jingming looked at the high mountain before him. This high mountain was burning with flames. Xu Jingming felt his consciousness start to become excited and crazy just by getting close.

"This relic is unusual." Xu Jingming continued to explore and soon saw a second high mountain. Countless swords were stuck on the high mountain, as many as over a million, densely packed together.

"Flame Mountain, Sword Mountain, Icy Snow Mountain, land beasts, flying beasts, guardian beasts… and a broken Primordial Weapon?"

Xu Jingming was shocked by this territory relic.

"The territory master has been dead for who knows how long, but there are still alien beasts in the territory?" Xu Jingming looked at the flying beasts spreading their wings in the sky. With one flap, they covered half the sky and soon flew out of Xu Jingming's sensing range. "This Primordial Star phenomenon." Xu Jingming looked at the Primordial Star in the sky.

The Primordial Star was still emitting light, but it had a lot of damage.

Directly below the Primordial Star, there were eight mountain-like guardian beasts coiled. Each guardian beast was extremely huge! The eight of them surrounded the central location, guarding the central location, and there were also colorful lakes, containing all kinds of emotions and desires. There were also various birds and animals.

A dazzling Primordial Star hung high in the sky. Next to the cauldron below, sat a white, stone-formed, old figure. He was born as a rock-type lifeform. Even after becoming a high-dimensional lifeform, he was still dressed like this.

"Latecomer," the rock elder looked at Xu Jingming, "Having lived for 150 Abyss Epochs, you probably haven't seen anyone more long-lived than me, have you?"

"150 Abyss Epochs?" Xu Jingming was shocked.

Even for Eternal Realm high-dimensional lifeforms, their lifespans were theoretically endless!

But they would encounter all kinds of dangers in their long lives. Being able to live for one Abyss Epoch meant reaching the average level of the Eternal Realm. Dying after a hundred Abyss Epochs was considered very long-lived among high-dimensional lifeforms.

"These eight mountain-like guardian beasts seem to be completely motionless." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to get close to this core territory relic."

Xu Jingming flew past the guardian beasts' bodies.

Finally, he saw what was being protected by the eight great guardian beasts: a circular cauldron!

When Xu Jingming sensed the cauldron, he also touched the mind imprint contained within.

"Buzz~~~"

Suddenly, the world changed drastically, and the dilapidated territory relic transformed into its most beautiful form.

"So beautiful." Xu Jingming saw five strange high mountains, with flames rising from them.

"How could he live so long for 150 Abyss Epochs?" Xu Jingming muttered to himself.

"At least in my long life, I haven't encountered anyone who lived longer than me in the Eternal Realm," the rock elder said with a smug expression, "This is also what I'm most proud of." Xu Jingming listened.

"When life lives long enough, it wants to try something new," the rock elder said, "In my life, I've explored over a hundred million territory relics! It can be said that I've learned all the schools of Heart Realm experts!"

"The Heart Realm lineage has 152 mainstream schools! I've studied all of them, and 36 of them have reached the Eternal Realm level. Three schools have reached the 'half-step Third Realm' level," the rock elder said with great confidence.

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

No wonder this territory relic was so extraordinary. A half-step Third Realm relic?

"Moreover, three schools have reached the half-step Third Realm? In my life, I've explored 12 Third Realm relics! And I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from two Third Realm existences," the rock elder sighed, "I once felt that I was close to the Third Realm, but no matter how I pursued it, I was always one step away."

"Later, I understood that this difference of one step was an illusion. The difference was still very, very far," the rock elder sighed.

The rock elder then smiled and said, "Latecomer, in my territory, I've left behind all the inheritances of 152 schools! Each school has three inheritances! How much you can obtain depends on your ability."

Xu Jingming muttered to himself, wondering how long it had been. Maybe these inheritances were all gone.

"Of course, as time passes, the inheritances will be taken away by generations of descendants."

"In order to prevent you descendants from returning empty-handed, I will roughly explain the 152 schools, focusing on the three best schools. How much you can learn depends on your ability. By the way, before the explanation, remember my name is Gu Jinshi! If my explanation is helpful to you, remember to resurrect me when you become a Third Realm existence. I've lived for 150 Abyss Epochs and haven't lived enough yet," the rock elder cackled strangely, "Alright, listen carefully, let's begin."

Xu Jingming immediately listened carefully.

He was a blank slate, eager to learn all knowledge. This 'Gu Jinshi's' territory relic was obviously a huge harvest that surpassed that of 'Dream Dweller.'
