In the martial arts arena in his personal space in the virtual world.
In the distance, a waterfall cascaded down, crashing into the pool. Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the valley, his mind turning calmer by the second.
My personal combat strength interface indicates that my spearmanship and footwork have broken through to Lv. 8. This means that my Heavenly Python Evolution has a chance of breaking through to become a Perfected cosmic lifeform! Xu Jingming looked forward to it.
There were countless human civilizations in the vast universe, and many civilizations didn’t produce a single Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms throughout their entire history.
As for him, as the person with the highest achievements on Earth’s evolutionary pathway, he was about to take this step.
Let’s begin. Xu Jingming got up and began practicing the Heavenly Python Evolution’s cosmic lifeform volume.
Matter and energy as one.
To promote the final and complete the body’s Energy Manifestation. Xu Jingming seriously practiced every move and stance, carefully experiencing it. His sufficiently powerful mental strength perfectly controlled every cell in his body as if every cell had a will.
It guided the transformation of his cells.
The transformation of every cell was naturally a transformation of the entire body.
Boom!
After practicing only ten-plus moves, terrifying flames began to rise on the surface of his body. This was because the heat from every cell was just too high. The heat produced by all the cells converged to form terrifying high-temperature flames.
Thankfully, he had the Primordial Battle Armor’s protection, so his clothes remained intact.
The final transformation of Heavenly Python Evolution’s cosmic lifeform volume has begun. I have to undergo three transformations before I can undergo the final Energy Manifestation.
Xu Jingming focused on training.
The fire transformation lasted for more than half an hour, and he was a little exhausted mentally. All the cellular energy in his body was perfectly coordinated and unified as they moved uniformly.
The originally hot flames turned into a halo that surrounded his body.
The halo looked ordinary, but it was actually even more terrifying. It even greatly affected the surrounding magnetic field.
Xu Jingming’s entire body was like a celestial body!
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming’s mind stirred slightly, and the rising energy level rapidly decreased.
He shook his head slightly and drew back his strength. My control of body and energy is still lacking.
Xu Jingming knew his problem. He didn’t have any extravagant hopes that his evolutionary method would break through the day his spearmanship broke through to Lv. 8.
The evolutionary method needed a process of familiarity.
…
Earth, in Xu Jingming’s house.
Xu Lixing was sitting in her father’s arms, eating snacks and watching the competition on the projection screen.
“Hit, hit, hit him.” The chubby girl waved her small fists, her eyes bright and filled with fighting spirit.
“This girl is starting to like watching competitions now,” Li Miaomiao said. “She loses her patience ten minutes into my teaching her to count and read. But watching all kinds of competitions and all kinds of livestreams… It doesn’t tire her out no matter what.”
Xu Jingming hugged his daughter and smiled at this scene. “I can tell! She continues watching the competition even though I’m offline to accompany her.”
“Xu Lixing,” Li Miaomiao shouted.
“What?” The chubby girl shot a glance at her mother.
“Your father is the most impressive person on Earth. Your father is ranked highest on the Cosmos Ranking. Why are you watching these junior division matches instead of your father’s?”
The chubby girl clenched her fists and said with great aplomb, “In the future, I’ll be participating in the junior division matches. Of course, I have to watch the junior division matches!”
Xu Jingming looked at his daughter and found life miraculous.
As his daughter slowly grew up, she was also changing rapidly. There was a difference every month. She used to be very clingy to her father, but she now liked watching competitions.
I wonder what my daughter will become in the future. Xu Jingming was also looking forward to it.
…
Over the past few days, other than occasionally relaxing with his family, Xu Jingming spent the rest of his time studying Light Rays and attempting Heavenly Python Evolution time and time again.
Finally, 12 days after leaving the Demon Vanquishing World.
Boom!
The high-temperature flames rising from Xu Jingming’s body turned into a terrifying halo before it completely retracted into his body.
Fire Transformation, Vital Magnetic Field Transformation, Dormant Transformation.
I’ve finally reached the final step; I’ve converged infinite energy completely. Instead of waiting for another day, I’ll make a breakthrough right now! Xu Jingming felt that all the cells in his body had reached their limits, but the infinite energy that erupted was completely converged, allowing every cell to reach a certain threshold.
His entire body could explode at any moment.
Energy Manifestation. Xu Jingming slowly extended his hands upward, and the energy in his body surged. Finally, boom—
Xu Jingming’s eyes completely turned into dazzling light!
His entire head, torso, hands, and feet turned into dazzling light.
A figure condensed from light appeared.
“Energy Manifestation,” the glowing figure whispered. “Success.”
Having just broken through to Lv. 8, it was very easy for his body to undergo a huge explosion. It was very difficult to control his body’s Energy Manifestation, but Xu Jingming stabilized it.
This was also thanks to his experience in Energy Manifestation in the mysterious land. Otherwise, he would probably lose control and explode a few times before drawing on experience to gain full control.
Back when I was on the neutron star in the mysterious land, I practiced my spearmanship while my body was under Energy Manifestation. The glowing figure smiled. It’s just that my mental strength wasn’t enough, so I couldn’t rely on my body to undergo Energy Manifestation. I’ve finally done it today.
There’s no rush. I’ll try a few more times in the virtual world before making the breakthrough in reality.
After all, if he failed in reality and completely exploded, that would spell deep trouble.
******
Xu Jingming was very patient. After breaking through with the evolutionary method in the virtual world, he tried it many times. After succeeding repeatedly, he patiently waited three more days to familiarize himself with the evolutionary method and increase his chances.
In reality, at home, in the cultivation chamber.
Let’s begin the breakthrough. Xu Jingming was very formal. He closed the cultivation chamber door and forbade anyone from disturbing him.
He cultivated the evolutionary method the same way he did in the virtual world.
Whoosh.
High-temperature flames rose around his body as he continued cultivating. The high-temperature flames turned into a halo, and when he cultivated again, the halo converged and fused into his body.
Dormant Transformation.
Xu Jingming slowly extended his hands upward.
Boom!
Xu Jingming instantly became extremely dazzling, a blinding figure of light.
The glowing figure stood in the cultivation chamber and observed his surroundings.
“Congratulations, Master. You have successfully broken through to become a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform.” The Primordial Battle Armor’s AI voice sounded.
“Thank you,” the glowing figure said with a smile.
I finally became a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform a year after joining the Primordial Research Institute. All the light converged, and he returned from his Energy Manifestation state to his physical form, back to his original appearance.
“Master, your cultivation speed is quite fast,” the Primordial Battle Armor’s AI said.
“There was the training in the mysterious land, the Light Rays legacy, Ice Flower Spirit Liquid, and the Demon Vanquishing World’s many demon refinements… That’s how I broke through to Lv. 8 in a year.” Xu Jingming sighed with emotion.
If I hadn’t gone to the mysterious land back then and wasn’t groomed, I probably would’ve taken hundreds of years to reach Lv. 8, Xu Jingming thought.
The training in the mysterious land itself was a form of grooming.
There was no need to mention Light Rays. It was the largest database for Xu Jingming’s evolutionary path, and it guided him to the Paramount realm. Of course, many Origin lifeforms had obtained the core volume of the Primordial Star Conjecture, but to reach the Paramount realm? It was extremely difficult.
All kinds of opportunities allowed him to improve quickly.
“It’s precisely because you’re outstanding enough, Master, that you can receive the flood of resources,” the Primordial Battle Armor’s AI voice remarked. “With your talent—even without the mysterious land, you would’ve gradually shone over time and received a flood of resources. Geniuses… will eventually shine.”
Xu Jingming smiled. “You sure know how to sweet talk.”
“I’m telling the truth,” the Primordial Battle Armor’s AI said.
“Send me all the Earth surveillance data,” Xu Jingming ordered.
“Alright, Master,” the Primordial Battle Armor’s AI replied.
Immediately, a large amount of information was transmitted.
Xu Jingming felt very relaxed. After becoming a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform, his brain functioned much quicker. There were vast amounts of Earth surveillance data, but he could instantly grasp them.
In the surveillance data… There were seven cosmic tourists!
Across the countless civilizations in the universe, there were naturally all kinds of humans who pursued all kinds of things. Some people spent their lives observing new civilizations.
Just as Earth integrated into the large family that was the universe, it also ushered in the visits from cosmic tourists.
Those who could easily travel the vast universe had extraordinary backgrounds. For example, of these seven cosmic tourists, one was from a basic cosmic civilization, five were from intermediate cosmic civilizations, and one was even from an advanced cosmic civilization!
Earth specially sent people to serve them all the way, afraid of offending them. This was because once a conflict happened, it could either be a diplomatic dispute between civilizations or as bad as a calamity.
Thankfully, these cosmic tourists don’t have any ill intentions, he thought.
Under the deliberate infiltration of the Black Moon civilization, Earthlings are gaining more and more understanding of the Black Moon civilization. Xu Jingming felt mixed emotions. The more they learn about the Black Moon civilization, the more Earthlings find them excessively powerful.
The Black Moon civilization was countless times stronger than Earth’s civilization.
Many Earthlings kneeled.
They took the initiative to curry favor!
They were willing to serve the Black Moon civilization and earn the salary they provided.
I can only watch this continue. Xu Jingming had no choice. Be it the rules of the Primordial Research Institute or for the future of his homeworld’s civilization, he had to keep it a secret.
Only when he became a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform could he make it public.
“They’re just some trivial matters, nothing but splashes on the path to Earth’s rise,” Xu Jingming said softly. “Turn off the transmission of the surveillance data.”
“Yes, Master.” The Primordial Battle Armor’s AI immediately ended the transmission.
Xu Jingming silently disappeared from the cultivation chamber and appeared in the sky dozens of kilometers away.
With the Primordial Battle Armor’s concealment, he wasn’t worried about being exposed.
I’ll give it a try and see how it feels to fly with my strength. Xu Jingming didn’t use the Primordial Battle Armor anymore and relied on his energy.
Boom!
He instantly turned into a beam of light and disappeared from Binhai City.
He flew across the ocean and saw Japan.
After flying past Japan and the incomparably vast ocean, he finally saw another continent.
When he felt that he had flown to the other end of the planet, he finally stopped. Below him was the Republic of Pampas.
“Master, your average speed is 203 times the speed of sound,” the Primordial Battle Armor AI said.
I reached 200 times the speed of sound just after reaching Lv. 8. Xu Jingming soared into the sky and quickly flew into outer space. He floated and looked at the endless cosmos in the distance. Physical Energy Manifestation. As long as I’m willing, I can wipe out more than half a planet with a single strike. With a few more strikes, I can wipe out the surface of a planet.
But such strength is still nothing in the face of cosmic civilization technology. Xu Jingming was wearing the Primordial Battle Armor. With the Primordial Battle Armor, he could unleash the basic destructive power of a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform.
He knew very well how terrifying this destructive force was.
The power of the Primordial Battle Armor can wipe out the Black Moon civilization’s garrison with a single hand. This is only the most basic destructive force of an Origin lifeform. Xu Jingming stood in outer space above Earth and looked at the endless cosmos. I’m really looking forward to the day I become an Origin lifeform.
Before that, I have to continue hiding and keep up the disguise—disguise myself as a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform.
Nobody on Earth, including his family, knew that he had broken through to Lv. 8! With the Primordial Battle Armor’s disguise, everyone—including the Black Moon civilization—would think that he was only a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform.
Becoming Lv. 8 is only the beginning. Xu Jingming looked at the most dazzling sun in the endless cosmos.
