“Ah!”

As time passed, Xu Jingming’s consciousness trembled even more—the information regarding the Primordial Star was too immense. After Xu Jingming received a large amount of information regarding the light from the Primordial Star, he finally couldn’t take it anymore.

The legacy ended.

As long as one could absorb it, the dean of the Primordial Research Institute was willing to transmit all this information.

Unfortunately, the amount a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform could receive was limited.

After a moment, he finally recovered.

It’s such an incredible celestial body? A celestial body that transcends everything? Xu Jingming didn’t dare imagine that such a celestial body existed.

The universe was vast and filled with infinite possibilities.

The dean is amazing. Just the volume on Light Rays is enough to reach the Paramount realm. Moreover, the Light Rays volume contains much more insights than Xuan’s, Xu Jingming thought to himself, although he had only received content ranging from Lv. 1 to Lv. 10.

Even so, he gained a rough understanding of the Paramount realm’s content.

He understood that Xuan’s path was to reach the speed of light. This was only a branch of the Light Rays volume.

And the Light Rays volume was only one of the Primordial Star Conjecture’s nine core volumes! From this, it was obvious how deep the dean’s foundation was. It was no wonder he was known as one of the three strongest Paramount realms in human history.

The information I received from the legacy is enough for me to cultivate to Lv. 9 or even Lv. 10, Xu Jingming thought to himself. When I become an official member, I can receive the legacy again. I’ll definitely be able to see much more information about the Primordial Star in the future.

At this moment, he also understood that the text content in the Primordial Star Conjecture’s Light Rays volume was only a guide. The most important thing was the information gained from watching the Primordial Star.

Before cultivating for the first time, I’ll take a look at my current strength, Xu Jingming thought to himself. The peripheral members of the Primordial Research Institute also have the special privilege of applying for a detailed evaluation of their mental strength.

Mental strength was something intangible, and ordinary cosmic citizens had never heard of it being capable of appraisal. Only by becoming a peripheral member of the institute could one have this privilege! One could apply every 330 days!

Let’s begin. Xu Jingming applied for a mental strength appraisal. At the same time, he deliberately released his psychic force and charged at the cultivation room wall.

Buzz!

An invisible force enveloped the cultivation chamber and began to analyze his mental strength in detail.

About three minutes later.

“Mental Strength Index: 35.” The appraisal content appeared in front of him.

“35. Is that high or low?” Xu Jingming asked.

“Hello, Xu Jingming.” A gentle voice echoed in the cultivation chamber. “The minimum mental strength index to become a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform is 10. And to become a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform, the minimum mental strength index is 100.

“Your physical control has reached the requirements for Lv. 8, but there’s a huge gap between your mind and Lv. 8.

“Many cosmic lifeforms get stuck at a bottleneck because their minds are too weak.

“Suggestion: Put aside combat cultivation for the time being and focus on mental cultivation. The key to becoming an Origin lifeform lies in mental strength.”

“The threshold for reaching Lv. 8 is 100. What about Lv. 9?” Xu Jingming asked.

“To become a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform, one needs to use their minds to stir Cosmic Force. The requirements are very high, and one needs a mental strength index of 10,000! This is also the reason why many Lv. 8s can never break through.”

“A mental strength index of 10,000?” Xu Jingming felt the gap.

“There’s a mental cultivation method in the Primordial Star Conjecture’s Light Rays volume. At your age and growth speed, I believe you have a chance of exceeding 10,000 in 500 years. The premise is that you have to focus on the mind.” A gentle voice echoed in the cultivation chamber.

“Let’s test my actual combat.” Xu Jingming got up and waved his hand. He held a spear and began demonstrating his spearmanship.

Moments later, the virtual world network’s appraisal appeared.

“Beam Transformation Spear Technique (Lv. 7 82%), Combat Bonus: 3,900%.” Xu Jingming looked at the data. Studying the planetary river, spacetime prism, fiery black feather, and the Primordial Star on Planet Number Seven had indeed transformed him.

I am indeed accomplished enough in actual combat to reach Lv. 8. As long as I cultivate the Light Rays volume, I can probably easily exceed 40×, Xu Jingming thought to himself. The Primordial Research Institute’s auxiliary AI is right. To reach Lv. 8, I have to spend more effort on the mind.

Xu Jingming put away his spear and sat cross-legged to calm down. I’ll begin my first cultivation.

He was filled with anticipation as he began his first official cultivation of the Light Rays volume.

…

Xu Jingming immersed himself in cultivation, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Hunter Cosmic Sector, the strongest Frost Song Civilization in the Frost Star Alliance.

Urgh.

A handsome young man stretched and woke up from his sleep. He looked at the private lake that was more than 100 kilometers in diameter in front of him, where aquatic monsters were swimming.

“Your Highness.” An attendant appeared out of thin air.

“Prepare some food for me,” the young man instructed.

“Yes, Your Highness.” The attendant immediately disappeared.

Thousands of kilometers away, in a huge castle, chefs began cooking.

“Other than going on the virtual world’s Internet every day, the Third Prince spends his time having fun with his friends. His Majesty had personally traveled here to berate him. His Highness managed to appease His Majesty, but after His Majesty left, His Highness went back to having fun with his friends.”

“I was silly to choose to come and teach His Highness back then. I never expected him to be so lazy. In another 130 years, I’ll return to the family when my time is up.”

“Although following His Highness doesn’t seem promising, it’s relaxing.”

The attendants chatted.

They were also second only to His Highness on the planet. These attendants were actually Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms who were in charge of the Third Prince’s education. However, the Third Prince ignored them.

What a disgrace. The third prince looked at the monsters swimming in the lake and thought to himself, It has been 892 years since I was recruited into the Primordial Research Institute. I’m already 1,001 years old this year! I’m actually not an Origin lifeform at this age. I’m really the shame of the Primordial Research Institute!

Those who cultivated the ‘Primordial Star Conjecture’ legacy could generally become an Origin lifeform under 1,000 years of age.

The third prince of the Frost Song Civilization was known for his indolence and merry-making for centuries—even the people around him believed so. However, nobody knew that this was just an act of the Third Prince.

Almost every peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute needed to hide their strength and protect themselves when they were weak.

Huh? When the Third Prince tapped open a projection and contacted his friends, he suddenly discovered that the list of seven people on the island had become eight. “There’s a new neighbor on our island? His name is… Wu Ming?”

Our Hunter Cosmic Sector has another good brother joining the Primordial Research Institute? The Third Prince was rather excited. I’m 1,001 years old, and I’m the eldest of the eight. I have to contact my younger siblings and hold a banquet to welcome our youngest brother!
