Chapter 644 Three Years
It took Xu Jingming over half a month to get all the high-dimensional info on this legacy.
The Monhado legacy. Named after Monhado Xiong E. Xu Jingming was stunned. ‘Red Lotus Fire’ has high Heart Realm Force requirements—Heart Realm Force—to enter the third realm, but Monhado’s challenges increase with each progression from the simplest foundation.
When Monhado Xiong E was born, it was just a regular high-dimensional Firstborn realm lifeform. Thus, the basics of this legacy were straightforward—devouring and absorbing.
But as one progressed, the legacy became more complex.
Devouring included more and more high-dimensional information from the Abyss lineage, eventually leading to devouring an entire universe.
Absorption also deepened, causing the body to transform into the Primordial Star and becoming more and more powerful.
It’s progressive and provides a steadfast foundation, Xu Jingming praised in awe. It’s unbelievable that a body can reach this level.
In fact, at the end of cultivation, one can effortlessly condense a drop of blood from their body and transform low-dimensional lifeforms into their offspring. The strength of the offspring can match that of a high-dimensional Firstborn lifeform, Xu Jingming exclaimed in surprise.
Spawning is simple for third-realm high-dimensional lifeforms, but most beings who are on the brink of the third realm can’t create spawn, Xu Jingming pondered. For instance, even if Red Lotus Fire is cultivated to its maximum potential, it doesn’t have the ability to create offspring. Like Gumo… I’ve never heard of a large number of spawn in the Void Celestial’s long history.
By producing spawn, he could produce a large number of Firstborn realm high-dimensional lifeforms.
Even the three human Paramounts found it difficult to create a high-dimensional lifeform with combat strength.
Monhado has a huge advantage in terms of his bloodline and body. Xu Jingming was very satisfied with this legacy.
Xu Jingming placed the rock book in front of him into the mirror with a thought.
“Are you done?” Sanam asked.
“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded. “What an impressive legacy.”
“Master once said that both the body and mind are indispensable in reaching the third realm,” Sanam explained. “Although you take the Heart Realm Force path, you still need to spend time and effort on the body to reach the third realm.”
Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “Thank you.”
“It’s just something I heard from Master,” Sanam said with a gentle smile.
“Can I spread this legacy?” asked Xu Jingming.
“You have the entire book, so it’s natural for it to be spread,” replied Sanam.
Xu Jingming looked delighted.
Although he had received a complete legacy, he couldn’t fully utilize or record the high-dimensional information unless he mastered Monhado. Therefore, this rock book was crucial—it was a legacy item!
“Before Master passed away, it left a total of ten legacies to ten Emissaries,” said Sanam. “Maybe this legacy has already been passed down in your universe.”
“I heard that many high-dimensional lifeforms invaded our universe to get Senior Monhado’s legacy,” said Xu Jingming. “So, most of what Senior Monhado left behind has already been taken.”
Sanam understood. “That’s right. With Master’s status, its death would definitely cause many high-dimensional lifeforms to fight for the legacies.”
“Our human race has never had the cosmic fruits I picked previously,” Xu Jingming said with a hint of emotion in his voice. “There’s no record of this legacy in our history.”
The human race didn’t even know the name Monhado Xiong E.
Sanam nodded slightly. “I’ve given you everything I have; I have nothing left. Even the high-dimensional spatial information I possess will become useless after three Abyssal Eras. What your species knows about high-dimensional life is the most recent information.”
“Go back,” Sanam said, smiling at Xu Jingming. “What I’m looking forward to the most now is for you to become a high-dimensional lifeform.”
“I’ll let you know when I become a high-dimensional lifeform,” Xu Jingming said, standing up and bowing slightly. “Thank you, sir. I, Wu Ming, am in your debt!”
The other party had given him the Monhado legacy and all the treasures it had accumulated over the years. He was deeply grateful.
Xu Jingming turned and left.
Sanam watched as Xu Jingming left the auxiliary universe, then closed its eyes and fell asleep.
Master, even after three Abyssal Eras, your name will still be remembered by high-dimensional lifeforms, Sanam thought to himself. I believe you will return one day.

On the planet where the Primordial Research Institute’s headquarters was, Xu Jingming arrived with a whoosh.
“Wu Ming?” Secretary General Blacksky appeared. “Why are you here?”
“Secretary General Blacksky, I need a permanent residence in the headquarters,” Xu Jingming said.
“Follow me.”
Blacksky led Xu Jingming to an orchard with a three-story residence. “This is the only building in a 50-kilometer radius. It will be yours in the future.”
Xu Jingming surveyed the area, finding it satisfactory. He then waved his hand, causing the space in front of him to distort and compress. This revealed a horde of black-red fruits.
“That many?” Blacksky asked in surprise.
“10,000 cosmic fruits,” Xu Jingming replied. “It should be enough for the race to study and use for now.”
“It looks like you’ve gained quite a lot,” Blacksky remarked, eyeing the 10,000 cosmic fruits wrapped in distorted space. “Oh, this batch of cosmic fruits is much larger than the ones you provided last time. Most of them are more than two kilometers in diameter.”
Xu Jingming nodded. “These are ripe ones.”
“They’re much bigger than before,” Blacksky said with a smile. “On average, each one is worth 20 million credits. That’s 200 billion credits! Even among the nine cosmic legends of the human race, only Redmond has contributed more than you.”
200 billion credits? To low-dimensional lifeforms, this was a terrifying amount of wealth.
But to high-dimensional lifeforms, it was nothing! After all, this bit of wealth wasn’t even enough to buy a Star Alliance.
“Redmond has more than me?” Xu Jingming was surprised.
“Redmond had a fortuitous encounter,” Blacksky explained. “He obtained 3,000 Yellow-Shirted Envoys and 22 Silver-Shirted Envoys through it.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
Many high-dimensional lifeforms had died in the history of this universe, including Monhado. Even a slight inheritance was a huge sum of wealth.
To inherit a legacy, one needed both opportunity and strength. If Sanam hadn’t recognized Xu Jingming’s strength, it was impossible for it to give everything it had accumulated to Xu Jingming.
Redmond was also on par with Xu Jingming in terms of strength.
“Do you need any decorations for your new place?” Blacksky asked as he led Xu Jingming into the building.
“No need. I’ll do it myself,” Xu Jingming replied with a smile. “Secretary General Blacksky, feel free to come visit if I’m needed.”
“Alright, I won’t disturb you then,” Blacksky said before leaving.
Xu Jingming stood in the building, and with a single thought, the interior was transformed.
The layout changed, and an invisible aura enveloped the space, making it difficult for outsiders to spy on what was happening inside.
I’ll leave these treasures here, Xu Jingming thought as he entered a room and placed the pocket universe mirror on the table. He then flew into the small mirror and left a mark, leaving just a small amount of Heart Realm Force behind to allow him to sense his surroundings.
The rest of the Heart Realm Force returned to his body on Earth.
If these treasures were to be taken by aliens, it would be too late for regrets. It’s safest to leave them at the Primordial Research Institute headquarters, Xu Jingming thought. He knew that if he needed to use them, he could retrieve them at any time.
…
Virtual world network, Cosmic Legend World.
“This is a virtual network specifically for gatherings of cosmic legends,” Defender Whitejail explained as he sat in front of Xu Jingming. “We come together to discuss and brainstorm ways to ‘construct high-dimensional bodies.’ Who knows, maybe we’ll find some inspiration to help us out.”
Xu Jingming gained an understanding.
“When Redmond heard about your breakthrough, he called everyone together,” Deputy Island Lord Fasci added. “Unfortunately, everyone had other commitments, so we could only meet today.”
“It’s great to finally meet you, Wu Ming,” Sherwood said with a smile.
“I’ve heard a lot about your swordsmanship, Senior Brother Sherwood,” Xu Jingming replied with a smile. “When I created Wu Ming’s World, I was looking forward to a duel with you. Unfortunately, it never happened.”
“Back then, I thought about getting other human powerhouses to challenge you first,” Sherwood explained. “If nobody could defeat you in a hundred years, then I would have stepped in.”
“It only took the high-dimensional corruption a hundred years for me to be tortured to the point of losing control.” Xu Jingming sighed.
“To be corrupted by high-dimensional powers and grasp third-realm high-dimensional powers in just over a thousand years is seriously impressive,” said the black-winged man, Sakyaja, a cosmic legend.
“Wu Ming, your reputation precedes you,” said two figures walking over side by side. One was a thin, skeleton-like gray-robed elder, and the other was a slightly plump elder.
They were the two oldest cosmic legends of the human race, Lan Zhu and Kutoto, who were both nearing the end of their lives.
Redmond and Primordial One had long taken their seats.
“Everyone is here,” Redmond said with a smile. According to past rules, the strongest cosmic legend hosted the gathering.
Xu Jingming looked at the eight people in front of him. Redmond, Primordial One, Fasci, Whitejail, Sherwood, Sakyaja, Lanzhu, Kutoto, and himself were the nine cosmic legends of the human race.
Considering that Lan Zhu and Kutoto were both over 90,000 years old and nearing the end of their lives, the number of cosmic legends in the human race was soon to decrease.
“The Primordial Research Institute is really dazzling in this era,” Kutoto and Lan Zhu said via voice transmission. “There’s a high chance that two high-dimensional lifeforms will be born consecutively.”
“Yeah, how enviable.” Lan Zhu nodded.
All of them pursued high-dimensionality, but most cosmic legends ultimately failed. Redmond and Wu Ming stood the greatest chance in this era, causing the others to be envious and jealous.
“Let’s begin the first segment of the meeting.” Redmond smiled at everyone. “Resource exchange.”
…
Xu Jingming became well-acquainted with the other cosmic legends during their gathering. He even had cosmic fruit to trade! After Redmond confirmed that the fruit was useful for constructing a high-dimensional body, all the cosmic legends paid 100 million credits to exchange for five of them.
Time passed.
Following the dean’s orders, Xu Jingming didn’t try to construct a high-dimensional body and didn’t even dare explore his heart realm. He was just waiting, waiting to meet the dean.
Finally, one day, Secretary General Blacksky appeared at his small building and yelled, “Wu Ming, the dean is back! Hurry!”
Whoosh!
In an instant, an invisible force shot out of the pocket universe mirror and formed into Xu Jingming’s figure.
“I’m on my way,” he said, putting away the mirror and heading out of the building.
