Chapter 1 Xu Jingming's Fate

Xu Jingming was indeed very fortunate to be connected with Yu Huo Jun. During his low-dimensional life, he obtained the *Bafang Tu* (Eight Directions Diagram). In many possible futures, Xu Jingming would have one interaction after another with Yu Huo Jun.

Yu Huo Jun observed carefully, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

"He seems to have an invisible force influencing him, affecting the future, causing the future to constantly converge, ultimately trending toward a stable result? And even the third realm experts who come into contact with him haven't noticed?" Yu Huo Jun pondered. "What level of power is this? Or am I mistaken?"

"I must observe closely, at close range." Yu Huo Jun made a decision.

...

Xu Jingming, the Dean, the Tower Master, the Island Master, and Chi Meng were looking at the majestic building in front of them, each of them with surging hearts, full of anticipation.

"The front is the Inheritance Hall," Xu Jingming said. "As long as we go in, we will each enter the inheritance space separately, and we can choose any inheritance. If the fees are not enough, you can borrow from me at any time."

"Being greedy is like biting off more than you can chew. Learning two kinds of third realm inheritances is enough," the Dean said with a smile. Just the wealth he obtained from the Original Gold Mountain Range exceeded three drops of Abyss Mother Blood, enough for him to learn two inheritances.

"Being able to learn one kind of third realm inheritance is already a great opportunity," Chi Meng said even more excitedly.

If it weren't for Xu Jingming's help, he would not have been able to reach the distant Yu Huo City, let alone afford the fees. Even the cheapest 'one drop of Abyss Mother Blood' was something that most Eternal Peak high-dimensional lifeforms could not afford.

"Let's go." The five of them, full of anticipation, walked into the main entrance of the Inheritance Hall together.

The moment he entered, Xu Jingming felt the space-time change, and he fell into an independent space. The Dean and the other four also fell into their respective independent spaces.

"Welcome to Yu Huo Mountain Inheritance Hall. Here, there are a total of 3,000 basic inheritances and 128 third realm inheritances for you to choose from. Choosing one requires paying a treasure worth 1 drop of Abyss Mother Blood, and choosing two requires paying a treasure worth 3 drops of Abyss Mother Blood..." Information flooded into Xu Jingming's mind.

Immediately afterward, 3,128 beams of light floated.

3,000 beams of cyan light and 128 beams of colored light.

Xu Jingming reached out and touched one of the colored lights.

"*Xingyuan Biji* (Star Abyss Notes) is one of the inheritances created by the third realm existence, the Abyss Master. It perfectly combines some of the knowledge of the Primordial Star lineage and the Abyss lineage, allowing this inheritance to completely reach the third realm level. If cultivation is successful, the physical body can be like a star abyss, able to devour endless power to strengthen itself. This inheritance is further divided into seven branch inheritances..." A large amount of introductory information.

After understanding, Xu Jingming exclaimed, "It is actually an inheritance created by the Abyss Master. According to Gu Jinshi, the Abyss Master is the most powerful third realm existence in the Abyss lineage."

The Primordial Star lineage, the Abyss lineage, the Mother River lineage, and the Heart World lineage are the four mainstream paths of high-dimensional life.

There are countless high-dimensional lifeforms in the Abyss lineage! After all, this lineage can be cultivated slowly, like the Eternal Tower Master. This lineage can also take shortcuts, performing 'Abyss sacrifices' to rapidly increase strength. Even once contaminated by the Abyss, one will unknowingly embark on this path.

In terms of pollution, Abyss pollution is the most terrifying of the four paths.

Xu Jingming was tormented enough when he was contaminated by the true image of the Void Abyss Master. If he had been contaminated by the Abyss during his low-dimensional life, it would have been much more serious.

"The Abyss Master, in order to impact the ultimate, took the initiative to move towards death," Xu Jingming thought. "Perhaps he is dead, but his strength is undeniably powerful."

"This *Xingyuan Biji* (Star Abyss Notes) feels like an evolved version of *Menghaduo*."

The physical body can be cultivated to be more powerful, and the swallowing ability is also stronger.

"Consider it as an alternative." Xu Jingming lightly touched his finger, understanding the information of other inheritances one by one, and understood them all in just half an hour.

His mind operated at high speed, and he quickly made a choice.

"I choose three inheritances, namely *Zhumie Jiu Ce* (Nine Strategies of Annihilation), *Xu Yuan* (Void Abyss), and *Xingyuan Biji* (Star Abyss Notes)," Xu Jingming said.

"A total of treasures worth 7 drops of Abyss Mother Blood are required." Information flooded into Xu Jingming's mind in the inheritance space.

Xu Jingming immediately waved his hand, and a large number of Original Gold Beads and Original Gold Blocks floated out. He did not exchange them for Abyss Mother Blood in other places. Instead, he directly paid with Original Gold, partly because he was worried about attracting trouble by exchanging it outside. On the other hand, the exchange price of Yu Huo Mountain has always been fair.

Whoosh!

An invisible force instantly took away part of the Original Gold.

Immediately afterward, a piece of information began to be continuously transmitted into Xu Jingming's mind. It was the inheritance of *Zhumie Jiu Ce* (Nine Strategies of Annihilation). The information transmission speed was about 90% of Xu Jingming's tolerance limit.

Xu Jingming waited patiently, silently accepting the inheritance.

"I chose three third realm inheritances."

"One is the Heart World lineage's *Xu Yuan* (Void Abyss). I was contaminated by the figure of the Void Abyss Master at the beginning, and later I learned *Honglian Zhi Huo* (Red Lotus Fire), but *Honglian Zhi Huo* (Red Lotus Fire) is just a small branch of the entire *Xu Yuan* (Void Abyss) inheritance," Xu Jingming thought. "I am greatly influenced by the Void Abyss Master, so learning the *Xu Yuan* (Void Abyss) inheritance is very suitable."

*Xu Yuan* (Void Abyss) is a Heart World Illusion lineage. When the Illusion lineage reaches the third realm, it can already encompass countless paths, and even has many similarities with the Abyss.

"One is the Mind Weapon lineage's *Zhumie Jiu Ce* (Nine Strategies of Annihilation). This is the inheritance created by the Nine Strategies Master, containing nine kinds of Mind Weapons, each of which reaches the third realm. Of course, the core of the nine kinds of Mind Weapons has similarities. However, this is also the strongest inheritance of the Mind Weapon lineage among the 128 kinds of inheritances."

Xu Jingming's strongest skill now is the Mind Weapon Spear Technique, so naturally he has to choose a complete third realm Mind Weapon inheritance.

With a complete inheritance, and the ultimate existence's one move of spear technique, the two will verify each other, and he can walk more smoothly.

"Finally, there is the *Xingyuan Biji* (Star Abyss Notes) for cultivating the physical body. It far surpasses *Menghaduo*, reaching an incredible level in the physical body. As long as I learn a little bit of fur, I can create my own dependents in the future," Xu Jingming thought.

He chose this inheritance for his relatives and friends.

Being able to let relatives and friends become one's dependents can obtain true longevity.

"Take *Zhumie Jiu Ce* (Nine Strategies of Annihilation) as the main one, and *Xu Yuan* (Void Abyss) as the supplement. After becoming a half-step third realm... then start studying *Xingyuan Biji* (Star Abyss Notes)," Xu Jingming thought while receiving the inheritance information.

Suddenly--

"Your companion Xi He wants to borrow treasures worth 4 drops of Abyss Mother Blood from you."

"Your companion Gu He wants to borrow treasures worth 3 drops of Abyss Mother Blood from you." Voices rang out one after another in the independent space.

Xu Jingming nodded, "Lend it to them."

Saying that, he waved his hand and took out some Original Gold Beads and Original Gold Blocks. After knowing the detailed exchange ratio, the amount taken out this time was just right, and all the Original Gold was deducted.

Time passed.

Except for the Tower Master and the Island Master who borrowed treasures, the Dean and Chi Meng did not borrow any more! It was already enough for Chi Meng to exchange for one inheritance, after all, he was only at the initial realm peak. The Dean was even more unwilling to be distracted too much.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed. With Xu Jingming's speed of receiving inheritance, he finally completely received the three third realm inheritances.

"I have finished receiving them. The biggest goal of coming to Yu Huo City has been completed. I wonder how long it will take for the Dean and the others to receive the inheritance," Xu Jingming thought.

Whoosh.

An invisible force repelled him out.

Xu Jingming looked at the space-time changes around him, and then his expression changed.

"Where is this?" Xu Jingming looked at the endless vast space in front of him.

In the distance, there was a figure exuding endless light. The light illuminated the entire space, and his white wings made Xu Jingming's heart tremble. He was too familiar with this figure! Every time he watched the original *Bafang Tu* (Eight Directions Diagram), he could see this figure.

"Senior Yu Huo Jun." Xu Jingming immediately saluted, even a little excited.

This senior had helped him too much on his growth path.

"Xu Jingming." Yu Huo Jun smiled and looked at this young high-dimensional lifeform.

He was observing with incomparable care and seriousness.

Observing every trace of power on Xu Jingming's body, as if to completely dissect it, magnifying every trace of power countless times, looking for every trace.

From Xu Jingming's past, and the countless future branches that extended from it, he was looking for traces.

"Senior Yu Huo Jun, you summoned me here, I wonder what is the matter?" Xu Jingming respectfully asked. According to what he knew, generations of high-dimensional lifeforms paid fees to learn inheritances, and they would automatically be repelled out of the Inheritance Hall.

He had never heard of anyone being able to visit Yu Huo Jun.

Yu Huo Jun had not given guidance to his juniors for a long, long time. He appeared here after accepting the inheritance, obviously arranged by Yu Huo Jun.

"You were able to obtain an original copy of the *Bafang Tu* (Eight Directions Diagram), indeed you have a relationship with me." Yu Huo Jun said, while watching extremely carefully, the more he looked, the more shocked he was.

"Do you have any confusion in cultivating the *Bafang Tu* (Eight Directions Diagram)?" Yu Huo Jun said casually.

"I am still stuck in the seventh realm of the *Bafang Tu* (Eight Directions Diagram), the 'My Dao Realm', and I have not completely completed this realm yet," Xu Jingming said.

"The My Dao Realm lies in practicing my Dao... obviously your practice is not enough, mental cultivation cannot be rushed." Yu Huo Jun looked at Xu Jingming and said with a smile, "You chose *Xingyuan Biji* (Star Abyss Notes) today?"

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.

"Give you a kind reminder." Yu Huo Jun said, "You should focus on the Heart World lineage. Everyone has their own strengths and their own weaknesses. You have outstanding talent in the Heart World lineage, but in terms of the physical body... your talent is only comparable to ordinary high-dimensional lifeforms, it is not worth spending your mind on *Xingyuan Biji* (Star Abyss Notes)."

Xu Jingming was slightly stunned.

"You will be clear in the future." Yu Huo Jun waved his hand, and Xu Jingming had already been expelled and disappeared in this space.

Yu Huo Jun's face became solemn.

"That's right."

Yu Huo Jun was a little frightened, "I am definitely not mistaken, there is indeed an invisible force affecting everything, what kind of existence's power is this? Could it be those four..."

"As expected of Yu Huo Jun." A voice rang out.

Yu Huo Jun suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance. A petite woman with transparent wings appeared on a large stone in the distance. The petite woman had two curved horns on her forehead, exuding a black aura. The black aura affected the entire space, even faintly suppressing Yu Huo Jun.

"Great Lord Fiya." Yu Huo Jun bowed slightly, quite humbly. He knew the identity of the petite woman very well.

"What you have observed and guessed, keep it in your heart." The petite woman sat there and said leisurely, "Once it is leaked, you know the consequences."

"I understand." Yu Huo Jun said immediately.

Cultivating to his level, he had faintly touched the traces of the 'ultimate existence'.

He was very clear...

In the endless territory, endless time and space, the four ultimate existences were the most terrifying existences. The creations they left behind - the Primordial Star, the Abyss, the Mother River, and the Heart World - were all things that the third realm experts needed to look up to.

"In fact, there have already been three third realm experts who have intersected with Wu Ming before." The petite woman smiled, "It's a pity that their strength was a little lacking, and they didn't see any traces."

"I also carefully watched for a long time before discovering a trace of a problem, and even met Xu Jingming at close range before completely confirming it." Yu Huo Jun said humbly.

The petite woman warned again: "Remember, keep it in your heart."

"Great Lord Fiya, please rest assured." Yu Huo Jun hesitated before saying, "When I observed Xu Jingming, I also discovered a problem."

"Say." The petite woman said indifferently.

"I..." Yu Huo Jun stared at the petite woman, "Have I... died once?"

The petite woman smiled: "You are wrong, you have died twice." After saying that, the petite woman disappeared without a trace.

Yu Huo Jun stood there in shock, and it took a long time before he regained his composure.
