547 Xu Jingming’s Strength
The golden-winged elder confirmed the venue of the gathering with a thought. As the organizer, he immediately sent a message to the other seven, including Xu Jingming.
In reality, Xu Jingming was in an asteroid belt in the desolate cosmos.
Huh? Standing on an asteroid more than ten kilometers in diameter, Xu Jingming received a message that made him smile. A message from Mr. Wen: the gathering is tomorrow?
Official members of the Primordial Research Institute were usually called ‘researchers.’ Those with the prefix ‘mister’ were teachers at the research institute; there was no doubt about their strength.
Meet the other seven guardians? Xu Jingming was still looking forward to it. He then replied—”I’ll be there on time.”
Continue experimenting!
Xu Jingming stood on the asteroid, and his psychic force used the Primordial Battle Armor to draw upon a huge amount of Cosmic Force. The Cosmic Force changed according to the energy tide model Xu Jingming understood.
Boom! Boom!
A low vibration formed a terrifying tidal domain with Xu Jingming as the center, and it spread out rapidly.
The dark tidal domain transmitted at the speed of light. Essentially, the Tide Domain was a transmission of Force, and it quickly spread to an area of more than ten million kilometers.
Such a large-scale tidal domain was larger than an ordinary star. The dense asteroids within its range of fluctuations silently shattered. After reaching a range of more than ten million kilometers, it stopped expanding.
It’s quite easy to maintain the tidal domain with a diameter of 10 million kilometers, but it’s strenuous any larger. Xu Jingming carefully took it in. Energy can be circulated, so the consumption isn’t high. Its might is slightly inferior.
The next step is matter obliteration. Xu Jingming experimented with the next move.
After all, his strength had increased comprehensively after his mental strength reached Lv. 10. Xu Jingming also needed to understand his exact strength.
Half an hour later.
“The test is over. Nine, you must have an accurate judgment of my various moves, right?” Xu Jingming asked.
“The might of all moves has been updated,” Nine replied.
Xu Jingming extended his hand, and a projection appeared in front of him. Many of his skills appeared on the projection.
“High-dimensional traveling (Cosmic Legend), Spacetime Travel (Cosmic Legend), Origin Disintegration (Lv. 10 Limit), Cosmic Prison (Peak Lv. 10), Cosmic Rift (Peak Lv. 10), Infinite Domain (Peak Lv. 10), Laser (Peak Lv. 10), Primordial Battle Armor Thread Infiltration (Peak Lv. 10), Tidal Domain (Top Lv. 10), Matter Annihilation (Top Lv. 10), River of Time (Lv. 10), Fire Seed (Lv. 10)…”
“Master, these are all the moves you’re skilled in,” Nine said. “As Primordial Battle Armor #9 is good at spacetime, and you have spent the most time on spacetime and have observed two grains of Spacetime Star Sand, your knowledge in spacetime is most robust. For the light lineage, you have mainly focused on Infinite Domain and Laser.”
Xu Jingming nodded. “Other than escaping and dodging, I’m only comparable to a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform who has accumulated slightly more knowledge in other aspects. Only Origin Disintegration has reached the limit of Lv. 10.”
“Origin Disintegration targets one point. That’s why your move can reach the limit of Lv. 10, Master,” Nine said.
“The limit of Lv. 10… Any stronger, and that will be the cosmic legend level, right?” Xu Jingming inquired.
“Yes,” Nine replied.
Xu Jingming nodded.
For example, although Spacetime Travel didn’t allow entry into high-dimensional space, a single Spacetime Travel could travel hundreds of millions of light-years… It had to be known that many Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms could only teleport a few light-years. The difference of hundreds of millions of light-years was no longer a normal gap. Only with the involvement of high-dimensional powers could there be a debilitating effect.
It had to be known that long-distance travel was usually dependent on spaceships.
High-dimensional traveling and Spacetime Travel have great advantages. My knowledge in other aspects is still lacking. True peak Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms are more knowledgeable than me, and they are usually good at many more moves than me. Xu Jingming knew this very well.
It was very normal for a peak Lv. 10 Origin lifeform to be adept at more than ten peak Lv. 10 moves. Occasionally, two or three of them would reach the limit of Lv. 10. After all, they were also trying to become cosmic legends and needed to lay a very solid foundation.
“Master, don’t underestimate yourself. The moves you’re good at can already construct a complete combat system,” Nine said. “There’s high-dimensional traveling and Spacetime Travel for movement. There’s also Domain, Entrapment, and many moves to kill the enemy. You have the advantage against ordinary Hellion Sovereigns.”
Xu Jingming was actually quite satisfied. He could gradually dig into and deliver Nine’s might.
For example, when he first became an Origin lifeform, he was weak, and the strength he could unleash was pathetic. He had to rely on thread infiltration to deal with Hellion Lv. 9s at close range! When he encountered the stronger Sovereign Uke, he immediately lost consciousness.
It was too embarrassing.
However, that was in the past!
******
The next day, in the virtual world.
On a floating island in a virtual world, seven figures were sitting at an ancient stone table.
“This Junior Brother Wu Ming of ours is extraordinarily young. He’s only about 100 years old this year, am I right? I was still floundering around as a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform when I was 100 years old, but he has already mastered high-dimensional traveling,” a red-skinned bald man said with a smile.
“He’s only 155 this year,” the cold-looking Mr. Jane said. “I was the one who personally recruited him to the Primordial Research Institute.”
“You personally recruited him?” The golden-winged elder was surprised.
A big-headed elder listened with interest.
“Yes.” Mr. Jane nodded. “Junior Brother Wu Ming comes from a weak emerging civilization. Moreover, he was very young and had too little experience. Therefore, after he arrived on Planet Number Seven in the mysterious land, he first studied other phenomena. Back then, he had some insights into the Fire of Annihilation. He barely met the threshold for the Galaxy Group’s recruitment, but they probably wrote him off. Therefore, Junior Brother Wu Ming later comprehended the Primordial Star phenomenon and gained some insights into the Light Rays core volume. Finally, he joined our Primordial Research Institute.”
“Oh? He almost entered the Galaxy Group?” The other six people present laughed.
They were in charge of guarding the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector and were also members of the Primordial Research Institute.
“It means that Junior Brother Wu Ming is fated with our Primordial Research Institute,” a silver-haired, silver-eyed woman said with a smile.
“From this, it can be seen that there are still cracks in the mysterious land’s selection. Those from weak civilizations don’t know much about the mysterious land. If they enter blindly… it’s very likely that we will miss out on some talents.”
“Even without the mysterious land, true talents will gradually shine over time. When they reach Lv. 8, they will still be specially recruited.”
“The mysterious land has allowed many basic and intermediate civilizations to produce more Origin lifeforms.”
The seven of them chatted.
Suddenly—
A figure appeared from the void on the floating island—it was Xu Jingming.
Immediately, the seven sitting people looked at Xu Jingming. The golden-winged elder smiled and said, “Junior Brother Wu Ming, hurry up. We’ve been waiting for you.”
“I’m late?” Xu Jingming smiled and walked over. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. I am five minutes early.
“The seven of us are good friends. The gathering today is to welcome you, so we naturally have to arrive early,” the golden-winged elder remarked with a smile. “I deliberately gave you a timing half an hour late.”
Xu Jingming came to a realization.
“Welcome, Junior Brother Wu Ming,” the black-robed, red-haired woman said with a smile. There was also a strange gem embedded between her brows that flickered with a soul-stirring luster.
“Madam Dark Zero,” Xu Jingming said.
“Call me Senior Sister!” The black-robed, red-haired woman smiled and said, “You’ve grasped high-dimensional powers at such a young age. You can just call us senior brothers and sisters.”
“Perhaps in a few years, you will become a cosmic legend and become stronger than us old fellows,” a scaly man commented with a smile.
The golden-winged elder smiled and said, “The gathering is organized by me. Junior Brother Wu Ming, let me give a simple introduction… After all, this is the first time you’re meeting so many senior brothers and sisters here. This is Junior Brother Yijiu. In terms of strength, he’s the strongest of the eight of us.”
“Senior Brother Yijiu.” Xu Jingming immediately greeted.
Yijiu was the elder with the big head who smiled warmly. He was observing Xu Jingming while smiling as he said, “I heard Redeye mention you. I had personally mentored him after he entered the Primordial Research Institute at times.”
Xu Jingming came to a realization.
As expected of the child of Spacetime Island’s owner—Redeye received such treatment the moment he entered the Primordial Research Institute.
“Your talent is one of the best in this era,” Yijiu praised. “You don’t need a single teacher. You can figure it out yourself; it’s better than any teacher’s guidance.”
“In the Primordial Research Institute, the only person who can be your teacher is the dean. Unfortunately, the dean doesn’t have the time to teach. You can only count on yourself,” the golden-winged elder said with a smile. “This is Junior Sister Jade Feather.”
The silver-haired, silver-eyed woman smiled at Xu Jingming. “You’re the pride of our Hunter Cosmic Sector.”
“Senior Sister Jade Feather,” Xu Jingming immediately greeted.
Senior Sister Jade Feather was one of the five Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms of the Hunter Cosmic Sector’s hegemonic faction, Cloud City Association. She could already draw on high-dimensional powers, but the president of the Cloud City Association, Senior Sister Primordial One, was an even more dazzling figure. Although she hadn’t broken through, her strength was almost comparable to a cosmic legend! It was obvious how confident she was by giving herself the alias ‘Primordial One.’
“There are indeed many talents in the Hunter Cosmic Sector these days. Redmond, Primordial One, and now Junior Brother Wu Ming.” Yijiu shook his head and exclaimed in surprise.
“This is Junior Brother Jane. He’s the second youngest present,” Mr. Wen said with a smile.
“Senior Brother Jane was the one who recruited me into the Primordial Research Institute back then.” Xu Jingming naturally knew the other party.
Mr. Jane’s cold expression suffused a smile as he nodded.
“You know Junior Sister Dark Zero. This is Junior Brother Red Shark, and this is Junior Brother Blood Draw,” Mr. Wen introduced.
The scaly man was Senior Brother Blood Draw, and the red-skinned, bald man was Senior Brother Red Shark. Coupled with Senior Sister Dark Zero… the three of them had terrifying and strange high-dimensional powers.
Xu Jingming greeted them one by one. The three of them were also very friendly.
Although they were famous for their deeds, they were very friendly to Xu Jingming. The three of them were from the older generation and were more than 50,000 years old.
Strictly speaking, Xu Jingming was the youngest present by age, followed by Mr. Jane, and then Senior Sister Jade Feather. As for the other five… They were very old, and Mr. Wen was close to the end of his 100,000-year lifespan.
“Firstly, this gathering is to welcome Junior Brother Wu Ming. Secondly, we shall discuss how the eight of us should work together to deal with the Hellions,” the golden-winged elder said. “The other seven of us know each other’s strength very well. It’s mainly you, Junior Brother Wu Ming.”
“My strength in head-on combat is average; I can barely be considered a peak Lv. 10,” Xu Jingming said. “What I’m really good at is Spacetime Travel and high-dimensional traveling. My Spacetime Travel can reach a maximum distance of one billion light-years. The range of high-dimensional traveling is small, but the Hellions shouldn’t be able to stop me.”
“Spacetime Travel of a billion light-years? Then, you can completely guard half of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector.” The seven people present were a little surprised.
“You can reach the peak of Lv. 10 in head-on combat? Then, you should be able to finish off Lv. 9 Hellions quickly even if there are eight to ten of them, right?” Mr. Jane asked.
“If it’s only Lv. 9 Hellions, I can finish off about ten of them in a second,” Xu Jingming said confidently. To be able to survive a second in front of him… they had to have treasures like Primordial Battle Armor #9. Otherwise, it was impossible for them to survive the huge gap in strength.
“With you as a guardian, the war situation in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector will be much better.” Mr. Yijiu also felt much more relaxed.
