Chapter 134 Scientific Ruins and Black Lotus Fire

Xu Jingming looked at the multifaceted high-dimensional weapon before him, his Mind Realm force penetrating and probing. Comparing it with the construction process he had observed, he immediately deduced the damaged components: "A total of three components are damaged."

"I'll try to manufacture these three components first."

Xu Jingming constructed a virtual environment with a thought.

In terms of setting up virtual environments, that high-dimensional scholar was only slightly better than Xu Jingming, with limited superiority. Within the virtual environment, Mind Realm force gathered, slowly condensing into a component.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming frowned. "I clearly saw the entire construction process, so why is the component I'm creating not quite the same as the one made by the high-dimensional scholar?"

It was like painting: a high-dimensional scholar could effortlessly create a masterpiece, while Xu Jingming could only produce a shoddy imitation, not even a convincing fake!

"I refuse to believe I can't even imitate it properly." Xu Jingming patiently tried again and again. Practice made perfect, and he gradually grasped the hidden rules. After two days, he successfully manufactured the first component.

At least the structure looked exactly the same. Xu Jingming continued to experiment, spending another three days manufacturing the remaining two components.

"All three components are manufactured." Xu Jingming pondered, "There's still one problem. I don't know the detailed material properties of these three components. I can only make them look the same on the surface. The material properties... I can only rely on repeated experiments."

Xu Jingming observed the three damaged components of the multifaceted high-dimensional weapon before him, imitating their materials.

"Transform the illusion into reality!"

The three components gradually condensed from the virtual environment, with a large amount of Mind Realm force integrated, transforming into physical objects. Turning illusions into reality wasn't difficult.

Just like in the real universe, Source energy could construct all matter! And in high-dimensional space, Mind Realm force, as the most fundamental power of the Mind Realm, could indeed construct over 99% of high-dimensional materials, provided one understood the internal basic composition of these high-dimensional materials.

Xu Jingming couldn't completely understand it; he could only try his best to imitate.

"Let's go try it out."

Xu Jingming's Mind Realm force encompassed the entire multifaceted weapon. With a thought, he disassembled it, and with another thought, he reassembled it.

Replacing the damaged components with the three new ones—having understood the construction process, disassembly and installation were easy for Xu Jingming.

Whoosh!

Holding the multifaceted high-dimensional weapon, Xu Jingming left the scientific ruins and arrived at the edge of Allstar Island.

"First experiment."

Xu Jingming, having watched the detailed construction process, was very clear on how to use this high-dimensional weapon.

As Mind Realm force poured in, the high-dimensional weapon floated in front of Xu Jingming, energy transforming internally, everything ready to go.

When Xu Jingming activated it with a thought, a terrifying wave descended on the vast area ahead, as if a large bubble appeared out of thin air. All matter and energy in this area were instantly annihilated.

"Buzz." The multifaceted high-dimensional weapon made a sound internally.

Xu Jingming frowned as he observed, his Mind Realm force clearly probing the internal situation of the weapon: "Two of the newly manufactured components have cracks. It seems the materials are not up to standard."

"Jingming!" The Dean crossed the void and appeared beside him, smiling as he looked at the multifaceted high-dimensional weapon. "You repaired a high-dimensional weapon so quickly?"

"Not really repaired." Xu Jingming laughed, "This high-dimensional weapon was manufactured using the virtual environment of the Mind Realm lineage, so I can repair it. But to completely repair it... it will still take some time."

The Dean nodded. "But I feel its power is not great, only at the Eternal Apex level with one strike. The Forbidden-level weapons we repair, even after simplification... have the power of a half-step Third Realm."

The Eternal Apex level was indeed weak in the Dean's eyes; his casual attack was no less powerful than this high-dimensional weapon.

"The power is average. This is a high-dimensional scholar's experimental work." Xu Jingming nodded in admission. Knowing that the high-dimensional scholar himself had fought with Abyss Overlords, he was still somewhat disappointed that such an existence's high-dimensional weapon was so weak.

"We've repaired a total of five Forbidden-level weapons. The Tower Master, Island Master, and I each control one. There are two left you can try." The Dean said.

"I'll explore the scientific ruins completely first." Xu Jingming wasn't in a hurry.

Xu Jingming spent over a month in the scientific ruins before giving up completely.

"Within the scientific ruins, there are a total of two high-dimensional weapons created by the Mind Realm lineage, both at the Eternal Apex level. They're probably both experimental works!" Xu Jingming shook his head. "Even a single Forbidden-level weapon isn't enough to deal with a half-step Third Realm."

"There's an experimental manual, a large number of high-dimensional weapons. If I had the talent, I might really be able to explore a path of the Scientific lineage."

"But my talent in science is average. I should focus on the Mind Realm lineage." After a month of research, Xu Jingming didn't plan to waste energy on it.

Mind Realm Territory, beast hide space.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the void, a Flower of Sin floating before him, its petals blooming. Xu Jingming mobilized the vast amount of sin.

"Black Lotus Fire."

Xu Jingming used Mind Realm force to arrange a complex secret紋 structure—the Black Lotus Diagram. He mobilized endless sin to integrate into the Black Lotus Diagram. The Black Lotus Diagram was lifelike, and finally, with the integration of countless sins, a wisp of black flame rose.

The power of the black flame was a clear qualitative change compared to the original Nine Leaves Pure Lotus Fire.

It was darker, more turbid, and even more terrifying! Its power was many times stronger!

"Black Lotus Fire, First Leaf Realm."

Xu Jingming's heart was calm. After all, he had reached the Eternal Realm level. Mastering the Black Lotus Fire was only natural; this was just the power at the threshold of the Eternal Realm.

Following that, the secret紋 structure diagram 'Black Lotus Diagram' that Xu Jingming outlined became more complex, as if it were alive, continuing to devour endless sin.

After more than a day of nurturing, an even more terrifying Black Lotus Fire was finally nurtured, its depths even deeper.

"Reached the Second Leaf Realm."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly and continued to outline the secret紋 structure of the next level.

Time passed.

After a year and a half, Xu Jingming finally stopped.

"Black Lotus Fire, Third Leaf Realm, is my limit for now." Xu Jingming frowned slightly.

"The increasingly vast amount of sin... even my mind can hardly bear it."

The Sin Lord was becoming more and more immense. Even with the Eight Directions Diagram's Fourth Realm 'Carnal Realm' completed, Xu Jingming still felt a sense of mental confusion. He didn't dare to mobilize more sin. His mental realm wasn't high enough; too much sin could still pollute him.

"I've only lived for over ten thousand years since birth. Among high-dimensional lifeforms at the Eternal Realm, I'm considered very young. My mental realm is ultimately weaker." Xu Jingming understood this point. "Moreover, I haven't comprehended the form of the Five Leaves Black Lotus in the *Red Lotus Fire*. I can't arrange the Five Leaves Black Lotus Diagram!"

Cultivating flames required mobilizing enough vast sin on one hand, and understanding the form of the Pure Lotus, Black Lotus, and even Red Lotus on the other.

"Pure Lotus, pure and ethereal."

"Black Lotus, however, is turbid and dark, like a living thing, tempting me. The higher the form of the Black Lotus, the more terrifying it is. The Nine Leaves Black Lotus... just the appearance recorded in the inheritance made my mind fear, as if looking at an endless abyss." Xu Jingming shook his head gently. "According to the inheritance description, I must go to the Abyss to observe the Abyss Red Lotus up close to understand the Abyss Red Lotus Diagram."

"So, if I want to reach the half-step Third Realm with the *Red Lotus Fire*, I still have to make a trip to the Abyss."

Of course, there was no need to rush. First of all, his mind had to be able to control and condense the level of sin needed to condense the 'Red Lotus Fire'! That would be many times greater than now. Xu Jingming doubted whether all the sin in the 'Flower of Sin' was enough. Only if his mind was sufficient would he need to go and observe the Abyss Red Lotus.

"There's no way around it. *Red Lotus Fire* is ultimately the inheritance of the Void Abyss Master, and the Void Abyss Master is deeply involved with the Abyss."

Xu Jingming's originally rapid progress had also begun to slow down. His mind stopped at the Eight Directions Diagram's Carnal Realm. He couldn't comprehend a higher realm for the time being. His understanding of the Abyss was also very shallow. His accumulation in all aspects was far from enough.

"The cultivation of *Mind Realm Three Threads* is also temporarily progressing slowly due to the stagnation of the mental realm. The power of the virtual environment is also progressing slowly." Xu Jingming shook his head. He was gradually falling into a bottleneck in all aspects.

"This is probably the normal speed of progress for an Eternal Realm." Xu Jingming smiled slightly. He was already very satisfied with his growth speed.

Homeworld universe, Yuanchu Research Institute headquarters.

Yuan Yi, Bai Yu, and She Lin, the three universe legends, came to visit Xu Jingming at the same time.

"Vice President." The three of them were very respectful, looking at the black-clothed man painting by the lake. That painting faintly had the meaning of endless darkness permeating it, but there was a force concealing it, making it impossible for the three universe legends to see the appearance of the painting clearly. But the invisible aura of darkness made the three universe legends' minds sway, and miscellaneous thoughts arose from their hearts.

"Even a wisp of aura from the painting is so terrifying. What kind of painting is it?" The three universe legends secretly guessed.

"As expected of an Eternal Realm of the Mind Realm lineage. Its influence among the various races of the universe is probably even greater than that of the Dean and the other two."

As universe legends, they naturally knew that Xu Jingming had become a high-dimensional lifeform at the Eternal Realm! The Eternal Realm of the Mind Realm lineage had unfathomable strength.

"His one sentence, one glance, or even a wisp of residual aura, can probably manipulate our minds." Yuan Yi marveled secretly.

"He was my junior brother back then, and in the blink of an eye, he's already a high-dimensional lifeform at the Eternal Realm."

"What is it?" Xu Jingming stopped painting. On the drawing board was a dark abyss, but upon closer inspection, this dark abyss was alive; it was in the form of a black lotus flower! It's just that the inside of the black lotus flower was an endless abyss.

"Vice President." Yuan Yi said respectfully, "This is the latest batch of resurrection lists."

With a sweep of his gaze, Xu Jingming knew all the names on the list.

"The Dean and the others are really lazy; they've handed all these trivial matters over to me." Xu Jingming muttered secretly. There was nothing he could do about it; it wasn't easy for the Dean and the others to return in person!

Resurrecting with a split-consciousness carrier was also quite tiring. Xu Jingming had many avatars; the avatar left in his homeworld still possessed the strength of the Eternal Realm.

It was naturally easiest for him to resurrect, so after Xu Jingming broke through to the Eternal Realm, he naturally had to take on the various trivial matters of guarding his homeworld, ethnic group wars, and resurrection!

The Dean, Tower Master, and Island Master were all very happy, enjoying the ease.

"The Mind Realm lineage is good; there are many avatars. We're relieved to entrust the ethnic group affairs to Jingming." The Dean and the others were very pleased.

Xu Jingming recalled this scene and had nothing to say. He was indeed the most suitable person.

"Anything major happen recently?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Nothing major has happened to the human race. Among the ethnic groups neighboring us, the Void God race is conducting a large-scale internal screening; the commotion is very big." Yuan Yi said, "And the Prison race has broken through with a new universe legend named Mo You Monarch."

"Mo You Monarch?" Xu Jingming was thoughtful. "Is it him?" Back then, when he became a Source lifeform and went to the ethnic group battlefield, he encountered the big trouble of Mo You Monarch.

"Mo You Monarch was resurrected after his death, losing the Nightmare Eye." Xu Jingming understood.

"But he also got rid of the pollution of the Nightmare Eye. After so long, he actually broke through." Xu Jingming looked at Yuan Yi, She Lin, and Bai Yu.

"Start the resurrection."

Xu Jingming looked toward the lake in front of him.
