“If I can create a bloodline, or become a third realm existence, then my words will become law, and everyone can live.” Xu Jingming comforted his wife, “Don't think too much. Leave it all to me.”

“Okay.” Li Miaomiao responded in her husband's arms.

But she knew how difficult this path was.

Her husband had mentioned ‘Featherfire City,’ where countless high-dimensional beings gathered. After endless years of cultivation by the Featherfire Ruler, not a single third realm existence had been cultivated.

Relatively speaking, creating a bloodline seemed more promising. But her husband wasn’t very skilled in the physical body lineage.

******

Heart Realm Territory.

Xu Jingming stood in the starry sky, beneath his feet was a massive floating silver paper, upon which was inscribed that single spear technique.

“Miaomiao, Li Xing, Mom and Dad, Grandpa…” Xu Jingming had always felt very fortunate because his family could always be with him. This was something many high-dimensional beings longed for.

“But they will all face the limits of their lifespan.” Xu Jingming said silently, “All living beings have desires, and I have desires too. I want them all to live!”

“For me, there are two paths.”

“One is to reach the half-step third realm in the physical body lineage and create a bloodline. The other is to become a third realm existence.” Xu Jingming said silently, “I will dedicate myself to both paths.”

He watched the spear technique beneath his feet, and once again immersed himself in it, pouring all his mental will into this one spear technique, comprehending, pondering, and researching. He had to become stronger so that the people he cared about most could all live.

He could tolerate temporary loneliness, but he could not tolerate eternal loneliness.

Immersed in the spear technique, Xu Jingming forgot about time.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of his state of mind this time, or perhaps it was the accumulation of over ten thousand years, but after immersing himself in the silver paper for over a thousand years, Xu Jingming suddenly realized, “Sixteen thousand years after obtaining this spear technique from the ultimate existence, I have finally created the third move of *Jinge*.”

*Jinge* (Golden Halberd) was a mental weapon spear technique created by Xu Jingming. The second move, ‘Lantern Light,’ was enough to kill Five Demon Star. In Five Demon Star’s view, this move was already comparable to the power of a half-step third realm existence in the Heart Realm lineage.

“Boom.”

Xu Jingming's whole body radiated light, illuminating every corner of the animal skin space. At the same time, Xu Jingming's body was also undergoing transformation.

Mental weapons are about combining the mind and weapon!

And the powerhouses of the Heart Realm lineage, their bodies are made up of Heart Realm power, they are beings of the mind. When the mind transforms, life naturally transforms as well.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Xu Jingming frantically absorbed the power from the outside world to supply the transformation and perfection of his own life form.

The strength of a life form is not only about the strength of its level, but also about the transformation in quantity. Every half-step third realm existence has an extremely large true body! Xu Jingming swallowed the energy from the outside world, and only stopped after a full three days. His body also became much larger than before.

The qualitative and quantitative transformations made Xu Jingming's life form stronger than ever before.

“This is all the space layers?” Xu Jingming could feel himself, naturally permeating all the space layers. It was as if an elephant was stuffed into a cage, naturally filling every corner.

This was the ultimate of four-dimensional life. After permeating all the space layers, Xu Jingming even vaguely touched a more mysterious power!

“A higher level of power?” Xu Jingming tried to sense it. It was the vast timeline, a power more mysterious than the space layers.

The past timeline was very clear.

The future timeline, however, had countless branches, very blurred, requiring time and effort to observe slowly.

“Even cause and effect are clear.” Xu Jingming smiled slightly. Different levels of life forms have different perceptions. In the eyes of a half-step third realm powerhouse, every strand of cause and effect was extremely clear, shuttling through the space layers.

“This is what the half-step third realm feels like.” Xu Jingming felt his life form, which was much stronger than before. The black abyss fire released by the Abyss Ruler ‘Chang Ming Ruler’ had caused him pain. If it were now, it would be much easier to resist.

“Let me try my newly comprehended move.” With a thought, Xu Jingming left the animal skin space and came to the Heart Realm Territory.

The vast Heart Realm Territory was now surging with wind and clouds, while swallowing the boundless chaos from the outside world, it was also expanding itself.

The land continued to extend and expand, lakes condensed, and even mountains stood tall. These mountains all exuded a sharp aura, containing the spear techniques that Xu Jingming had comprehended.

In addition to the three moves of *Jinge*, moves like *Xin Shen Bing* (Heart Spirit Weapon) and the moves comprehended in *Zhu Mie Jiu Ce* (Nine Strategies of Annihilation) also naturally manifested in the Heart Realm Territory.

The Heart Realm Territory is also a manifestation of a Heart Realm powerhouse’s ‘mind.’

“Let’s give it a try.” With a wave of his hand, a phantom spear appeared in Xu Jingming's hand. He didn’t practice in the animal skin space because he had a feeling…

Although it was a mental technique, if practiced in the animal skin space, it would still affect the foundation of the animal skin space and destroy it.

Holding the phantom spear, Xu Jingming merged his mind with the weapon, and instantly turned into a ball of light. The light was vast and mighty, illuminating all directions, with a sense of invincibility. Wherever this ball of light passed, everything seemed to be burned and melted, naturally separating a path. Even the entire Heart Realm Territory naturally separated into huge canyons and ravines.

*Jinge*, third move—Chaoyang (Morning Sun)!

If the second move, ‘Lantern Light,’ was a flame that burned the mind, then ‘Chaoyang’ was a morning sun formed by countless flames that burned the mind. It seemed gentle, but in reality, it was irresistible. Touching it would result in melting and destruction.

This ball of light, which cut through the sky, finally stopped and condensed into Xu Jingming holding a spear.

“Hmm?” Xu Jingming frowned as he looked at the phantom spear in his hand. This spear already had some cracks.

“I didn’t even attack an enemy, and just fully unleashed and practiced a move, and this weapon is already starting to crack? If I really fought against a half-step third realm existence, I’m afraid this spear would shatter after just one move.” Xu Jingming thought.

Of course, he also understood that the third move of *Jinge* he comprehended, based on the ultimate existence's spear technique, was much stronger than ordinary half-step third realm techniques of the Heart Realm. So, merely practicing it caused the weapon to be damaged.

“I have to nurture a new weapon. Fortunately, Realm Lord Ancient Tree gave me a lot of heart spirit beads before. This spear only needs to be fused with three to five heart spirit beads, and it will completely transform.” Xu Jingming thought as he looked at the cracked phantom spear.

Heart spirit beads are the most precious materials in the entire Heart Realm.

Third realm existences generally use heart spirit beads to refine their weapons.

Himself, a half-step third realm existence… Even if he used all heart spirit beads, he couldn’t nurture a third realm weapon! That would be a waste of heart spirit beads. So, using three heart spirit beads for each spear was the most suitable.

“My previous spears, each fused with three heart spirit beads, could transform and be enough to deal with a half-step third realm battle.” Xu Jingming thought, “But if I want to greatly improve my strength, I still need to seek a third realm weapon.”

Any half-step third realm existence, after breaking through, will seek a third realm weapon suitable for themselves.

“Take a look at the timeline.”

Xu Jingming was suddenly very curious. “Island Lord Emperor Dragon and the others are all actively offering gifts, and the third realm existences are also treating me differently. Perhaps peeking into the timeline can reveal some clues.”

Powerful life forms, permeating all space layers, have already sensed the timeline.

“The past is very clear.” Xu Jingming sensed.

Each point in time corresponds to a boundless, vast territory. Xu Jingming can now only barely peek at the surrounding thousands of territories at a certain point in time. The further away the area, the more blurred it becomes.

“The clear past extends to the present now.” Xu Jingming understood, “But third realm existences can change the past of other lives, thereby changing reality and the future.”

Watching the timeline, he understood how the third realm existences did it.

For example, in the past timeline, let a group of living beings survive, and let another group of living beings die, then the entire historical development will naturally change, and the present will also change. The future will also change.

“As long as you are within the timeline, your fate will be manipulated.”

“Only by jumping out of the timeline can you not have your fate changed.” Xu Jingming understood, “So, you can't see the third realm within the timeline at all.”

Even when he looked at his past, watching his experiences in Featherfire City, the part where he met Featherfire Ruler completely disappeared! It was untraceable in the timeline.

The same was true for his meeting with Ruler Lou Ye, it was untraceable in the timeline.

“Then what about my future?”

Xu Jingming began to try looking at the future.

The future was blurred, and there were countless branches. Xu Jingming followed one of the branches and tried to peek into it.

“Peeking into the future is really not easy. If it were a third realm existence, I’m afraid they could peek into a large number of branches with a single thought.” Xu Jingming thought. He could only peek into one future branch at a time.

Future…

His original hometown ushered in a great calamity, and his avatar in the Heart Realm Territory saw the occurrence of the calamity.

“I only saw endless terrifying energy currents that destroyed the entire territory, but it didn’t affect the Heart Realm.” Xu Jingming nodded slightly, “I don’t know where this terrifying energy current came from.”

Further on, Grandpa, Mom and Dad, wife, daughter… they all reached the limits of their lifespans, they all died, and he could only watch all of this happen. From then on, he was alone.

He had been searching for ways to create a bloodline, and was also working hard to become a third realm existence, but in the future he could peek into, he never saw that day.

The more distant the future, the more blurred it became.

“I can’t see the day when I can revive Miaomiao and the others.” Xu Jingming changed to another future branch. He could only peek into about a million years, and it was no longer clear beyond that.

“No way.”

“Still can’t revive them.”

One future branch after another.

Create a bloodline? Xu Jingming’s talent in the physical body lineage was very average. In a million years, he could only reach the level of an ordinary eternal realm existence in the physical body lineage. He was still very, very far from the half-step third realm.

Third realm? In the branches he peeked into, he was still at the half-step third realm.

Although his strength was improving, and he could be called ‘invincible in the half-step third realm,’ he was still desperately pursuing the third realm.

“I have peeked into hundreds of future branches, and I can’t revive my family in any of them. However, in hundreds of branches, I can be invincible in the half-step third realm. My future is quite certain.” Xu Jingming himself was amazed.

Other powerhouses had very blurred futures. After all, in a short period of a million years, they might be stuck in a bottleneck, and a million years might pass.

But he was not.

In the million years he could peek into, every time, he became invincible in the half-step third realm!

No event could stop him.

Suddenly—

A force was transmitted along the cause and effect.

“Old Brother Wu Ming, congratulations, congratulations, you’ve become a half-step third realm existence in just 34,000 years! You’re the half-step third realm existence with the shortest cultivation time I’ve ever seen.” A gentle voice came.

Following the cause and effect, Xu Jingming remotely sensed the other party. It was Realm Lord Ancient Tree, the strongest existence in this territory.
