666 Another Tutenmu Possession (1)

“Miaomiao, there was nothing I could do,” Xu Jingming said, his gaze fixed on his wife. “This situation required a firm hand.”

“I get it,” Li Miaomiao grumbled. “Those five are too greedy. I made it clear they weren’t welcome on Earth, yet they still came. They need to learn a lesson.”

Li Miaomiao didn’t have much of a relationship with her five younger siblings. Born more than a hundred years after her, she’d never spent much time with them but took care of them out of duty to her parents.

Over the years, they had caused her nothing but trouble.

“How many can face death?” Xu Jingming asked. “A few elders have become Origin lifeforms through external means, and now, others will want the same. We have to be resolute and stop that notion.”

Xu Jingming had seen many of his great-grandsons grow up, but none were entitled to become Origin lifeforms through external means.

He’d watched friends and loved ones die. Even the passing of his wife and daughter were temporarily delayed due to them reaching Lv. 8 thanks to the Evolutionary Guide system.

“Three thousand years of wealth and glory is enough,” Li Miaomiao said. “We’ve provided them with every evolutionary resource, even an Evolutionary Guide, but they don’t put in the effort. Who can be blamed?”

The Evolutionary Guide was ultimately only a guide. If one didn’t bite the bullet and work hard, they wouldn’t be able to reach Lv. 8.

“Take it easy,” Xu Jingming soothed his wife. “It’s not worth getting upset over.”

Though angry with her siblings, Li Miaomiao quickly composed herself. “Jingming, how’s your work on the high-dimensional body coming along?”

“I failed twice.” Xu Jingming frowned. “I’m planning a third attempt soon.”

He had hit a major roadblock.

…

In a frozen wasteland, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged, surrounded by ice and frost. A wisp of Heart Realm Force hovered before him, meticulously crafting the foundation of a high-dimensional body.

Crafting the building blocks of these beings is no easy task. Despite my remarkable cognitive speed, it took me a year and a half to construct just one prototype. He gazed upon the prototype.

As a cosmic legend who had grasped the Heart Realm, the speed at which his brain worked was obvious.

It was obvious how vast and complicated the structure was for him to spend a year and a half constructing it.

The greatest challenge is the fourth dimension’s spatial layer—a seemingly small but transcendent realm that defies understanding. I know too little about the spatial layer.

The complexity was only amplified with each added dimension. For example, the difficulty in a two-dimensional world was limited to drawing on a piece of paper.

The real universe involved the difficulty of building skyscrapers and spaceships.

High-dimensional space had obviously higher difficulty!

My Cleansing Lotus Flame clone has also personally experienced the spatial layer. I’ve also obtained the scales, blood, and other items of high-dimensional lifeforms, as well as the detailed structure of high-dimensional bodies. Xu Jingming shook his head. But my understanding of the spatial layer is still insufficient.

The fourth dimension—the spatial layer—was most difficult.

The other difficulty is to use the Heart Realm Force to construct a high-dimensional body! The dean and the others have provided 302 high-dimensional body structures, but there are only two for the Heart Realm.

There are only two examples. To deduce what suits me?

As he gazed upon the failed prototype, Xu Jingming felt a headache coming on. My third experiment failed as well. I encounter problems just building the prototype. I’m still far from success.

Next, I’ll make more detailed preparations for my fourth attempt.

Xu Jingming was patient, drawing lessons from each failure.

******

In his territory in the Heart Realm.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged, with the jade-green book—Eight Directions Map—open in front of him, flipped to the third page.

It was the third space of the Eight Directions Book World.

The first level of the Eight Directions Map is the Joy and Anger realm, the second realm is the Seven-Colored realm, and the third realm is the Intent realm. Only by reaching the third realm can one be considered to have achieved some success. Xu Jingming had received the legacy information and knew very well the importance of the third realm.

Buzz!

In the third space, a familiar figure appeared. He had white wings, and his entire body emitted flames.

The flames illuminated all of spacetime and warmed Xu Jingming’s heart.

“Feather Fire Lord.” Xu Jingming was very pious and impressed.

“Every level of the Eight Directions Map tempers the mind,” said the Lord with a smile. “The first level, the Joy and Anger realm, is about love and hate—the most basic of emotions. The second level, the Seven-Colored realm, encompasses all emotions. But the third level requires complete control of emotions.

“Emotions are an extension of desire.

“Emotions are the manifestation of one’s intent.

“And desire is the key to emotions. Controlling the intent of the heart means controlling the external aspects of the heart.

“You can try creating an illusion, the Intent Samsara World. It should contain all kinds of emotions, from the most beautiful love to the deepest hatred and bitter sins. By fusing all these emotions together, you’ll fall into the cycle of reincarnation of misery, an endless cycle.”

“When your Intent Samsara World reaches a sufficient level, you can enter the fourth space,” Feather Fire Lord concluded. “And I’ll teach you how to construct it.”
