544 Visualization Lv. 10
Light shone out from the windows of numerous households in the evening.
Xu Jingming sat at his desk and looked at the Spacetime Star Sand floating in front of him. A single Spacetime Star Sand grain cost 100 trillion cosmic dollars, and this was the price set by Senior Brother Redeye. Its actual value had to be at least doubled, comparable to half an ordinary galaxy.
Again. Although it was expensive, the value it provided—grasping high-dimensional power—was worth it. Xu Jingming immediately seeped his psychic force into the Spacetime Star Sand again.
Whoosh!
When his consciousness entered the Spacetime Star Sand, the ruined world in the sand grain escaped its frozen state and continued collapsing.
Spacetime collapsed, but it didn’t injure his consciousness at all.
My consciousness is indeed in high-dimensional space with the help of Spacetime Star Sand. Xu Jingming carefully took it in. I can see the different layers of spacetime during its collapse. No matter how complicated the spacetime turbulence is, it can’t stop my observation.
Lower dimensions have no secrets from a high-dimensional vantage. However… Xu Jingming was also a little puzzled. I can’t sense any matter or existence in high-dimensional space.
With his consciousness transcending the spacetime collapse, he should’ve been in high-dimensional space.
From the looks of it, even with the help of Spacetime Star Sand, my consciousness is still blind and deaf while inside high-dimensional space, he thought.
He already knew that ordinary Origin lifeforms were, for all purposes and intents, blind and deaf when entering high-dimensional space. Even if a high-dimensional lifeform was staring at them at close range, Origin lifeforms couldn’t see them.
Just like the naked eye of a planetary lifeform, the spectrum they could see was limited, and so was the sound their ears heard. Beyond the range… they couldn’t see or hear.
It was the same logic. Although Origin lifeforms were very powerful, giving them wide ranges for their eyes, ears, and psychic forces, high-dimensional space was beyond that. In high-dimensional space, Origin lifeforms were blind and deaf.
I can’t sense anything unless I become a high-dimensional lifeform and can see everything in high-dimensional space with my eyes and hear with my ears, or if my mental strength reaches a high-dimensional level.
According to the Primordial Star Conjecture, one has to reach Lv. 12 in visualization to have their mental strength reach the high-dimensional threshold and be able to sense everything in high-dimensional space, Xu Jingming thought to himself. But I’m only at Lv. 9 now. The difficulty keeps increasing the further I go in visualization… I’ve been stuck going from Lv. 9 to Lv. 10 for so long, and Lv. 12 is even further away.
Be it physically or mentally, he was far from being able to observe high-dimensional space.
Even when I was immersed in the various scenes of the spacetime collapse the first time, I didn’t realize that my consciousness was in a high-dimensional state. Xu Jingming carefully experienced everything and carefully observed the spacetime collapse again.
Every spacetime collapse was different. For a variety of reasons, different kinds of collapse appeared in different ruined worlds. However, the structure of spacetime itself was similar.
Xu Jingming gained a deeper understanding of spacetime itself.
Spacetime is vast, but there are many hidden spacetime layers. High-dimensional space is above all spacetime layers. Xu Jingming carefully took it in. If I want to enter high-dimensional space, I have to transcend the spacetime layers and escape it.
He observed as he thought.
This grain of Spacetime Star Sand lasted 3 days and 21 hours before completely dissipating. When it dissipated, Xu Jingming’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
High-dimensional space.
Xu Jingming had his Primordial Battle Armor #9 under his control. He had experienced Return, and he had observed the Spacetime Star Sand for more than seven days. Coupled with his wealth of knowledge in spacetime, he attempted to charge forward with a thought.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming sat in front of the desk, but his entire body disappeared into thin air. He tried his best to escape the influence of all the spacetime layers. Of course, there were too many spacetime layers—they were just too vast. They appeared like layers of restraints around him.
He was like the favored child of space and time—albeit thanks to Nine’s help! But after escaping more than 200 spacetime layers, the other spacetime layers continued restraining him.
In a few seconds, he returned to the chair in front of the desk as if he hadn’t moved.
It’s too difficult. Xu Jingming felt exhausted. Back then, Nine returned to the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute from the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector. In an instant, it completed the entire process of entering high-dimensional and descending into the Primordial Research Institute. As for me… I spent a few seconds struggling to get out.
Xu Jingming felt more exhausted than experiencing a battle; he had consumed a large amount of energy and was mentally exhausted. This was because during the process of struggling to escape the spacetime layers, he needed to instantly come up with ways to make an attempt.
My understanding of the spacetime layers isn’t deep enough. If I build it up further, I might be able to break through. There’s also the fact that the strength I used isn’t sufficient. If I were a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform or if my mental strength were stronger, allowing me to mobilize more of the Primordial Battle Armor’s strength, I would have a higher chance of charging out, Xu Jingming thought.
It was very difficult to use high-dimensional powers. For example, it wasn’t easy for some Hellion Sovereigns to use high-dimensional forces; they needed to fuse with high-dimensional spatial objects. Those who could succeed were some of the top Hellion Sovereigns.
Xu Jingming was very similar to the Hellion Sovereigns and was also borrowing high-dimensional powers—it was contained in the Primordial Battle Armor. However, it wasn’t easy despite him borrowing it.
…
Xu Jingming focused on studying the many spacetime layers. The deeper his understanding, the higher the chance of him leaving spacetime and entering a higher dimension.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
I get it.
On a grass patch in the virtual world, he sat on a chair and drew a spacetime geometry map on the projection.
The great scholar beside him watched in admiration.
“Sir, am I right to express the interference change model with these three high-dimensional geometric diagrams?” Xu Jingming asked.
“Smart.” Mang Yu praised, “Wu Ming, I realize how talented you are in spacetime research! The interference changes in the spacetime fluid layer are relatively difficult topics, but you actually understood it in just a few classes.”
“It’s thanks to your guidance,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “Moreover, I’ve also observed Spacetime Star Sand, so it made things easier.”
“You’re quite talented in science,” Mang Yu praised. “Alright, that’s the end of the fluid layer interference change course. We’ll continue the course on the fluid layer’s ‘permeability effect’ tomorrow. The fluid layer penetrates many spacetime layers and is critical. You have to prepare for the basics in advance.”
“Alright, sir.” Xu Jingming nodded.
Mang Yu was a great scholar with an educational level of Lv. 132 after all, and his attainments in spacetime were very deep. Xu Jingming had arranged to have many classes with him.
…
In reality, in the cultivation chamber.
Xu Jingming sat cross-legged and recalled his class with Mang Yu today.
I’ve spent two years digesting and observing my gains from the Spacetime Star Sand, and I’ve also gotten a teacher to teach me. I’ve improved in many aspects, but I’m still unable to enter high-dimensional space. Xu Jingming shook his head. It’s really not easy. However, it’s very difficult to borrow high-dimensional powers to begin with.
Xu Jingming was also patient enough.
I’ll begin today’s visualization.
Xu Jingming sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. If nothing special cropped up, he would visualize every day.
Visualization was very important, and it was the most effective way to cultivate one’s mental strength. Be it reaching Lv. 10, becoming a cosmic legend, or the Paramount realm, one’s mental strength had to reach a certain level.
Light Rays’ Visualization.
The Primordial Star Xu Jingming had visualized was vast and lofty. Waves of light constantly radiated, becoming more and more dazzling as they turned into endless light.
There were also fluctuations on the Primordial Star. Sometimes, it erupted and ferociously affected the surroundings, and sometimes, it contracted.
The Primordial Star is a celestial body in high-dimensional space. Therefore, it’s above our normal spacetime to begin with.
Xu Jingming had devoted a lot of his efforts to the study of spacetime. Although he had never seen high-dimensional space with his own eyes, and he couldn’t see or sense anything even if his consciousness entered, the Primordial Star Conjecture had records of them.
The more he learned, the more he gradually understood.
The Primordial Star in Xu Jingming’s visualization also had layers of spacetime influencing one another, causing it to appear more distant. However, its light penetrated the layers of spacetime and became even grander.
It should match the spacetime model of the Primordial Star as mentioned in the Primordial Star Conjecture, Xu Jingming thought as he further perfected the Primordial Star’s spacetime model in his visualization.
Suddenly—
Xu Jingming felt as though a gaze from the Primordial Star he was visualizing had descended upon him.
He instinctively felt terrified. He was also delighted.
Xu Jingming’s mental strength naturally transformed under the invisible influence. This transformation lasted for 27 seconds.
My visualization resulted in resonance with it? How magical.
He was clearly the one visualizing and staring at it, but it was as if it was staring at him!
When the Primordial Star I visualize begins to resemble the true Primordial Star and reach a certain threshold, it will resonate with the true Primordial Star, he thought. It will begin to affect my mental strength.
There will first be resonance, and then, the closer in resemblance, the greater the Primordial Star’s influence. My mental strength will eventually become high-dimensional, Xu Jingming thought.
Evolution was very difficult for lifeforms.
Visualizing the great celestial body in high-dimensional space, the Primordial Star, was an excellent method. Just visualizing it allowed one’s mind to transform gradually.
After triggering the resonance, my mind has undergone a transformation. I’ve finally reached Lv. 10 of the visualization method. Xu Jingming was delighted.
Lv. 9 visualization was the lowest threshold for a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform.
Lv. 10 visualization was the standard most Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms had from years of cultivation. Xu Jingming’s mind had reached the average level of a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform.
I can’t see or touch it. I can only rely on my own understanding to visualize it, he thought to himself. I wonder how I can break through to the harder Lv. 11 and 12.
Xu Jingming opened his eyes in a good mood.
“Congratulations, Master. Your mental strength has broken through.” Nine was overjoyed. It could sense the obvious qualitative change in the mental strength needed to control the Primordial Battle Armor.
“I’ve been stuck at Lv. 9 for so many years.” Xu Jingming got up.
“Master, now that your mental strength has broken through, you can try again to see if you can enter high-dimensional space.” Nine also looked forward to it.
