BXBX NOVEL Chapter 629 - 629 Did I Remember Wrongly?
The purple-robed Tutenmu smiled and said in a mysterious, 12.7-light-year-tall hall in the distant Void Celestial territory, “Ambassador Vicar, I heard that my test subject, Human Wu Ming, has had some gains?”
“He’s advancing along the Heart Realm Force path. He’s improving faster than any of your previous test subjects.” A mighty voice echoed in the hall.
“Excellent.” Tutenmu nodded in satisfaction. “Now, I need to experience his path.”
“As you wish.”
Tutenmu was very familiar with the rapidly expanding starlight. When it enveloped the entire universe, he instantly locked onto a weak lifeform in the human dominion—Xu Jingming—who was sitting on an asteroid and cupping his head.
“Ever since the high-dimensional corruption, you will be able to clearly sense all his energy. However, I can’t sense anything he experienced in the virtual world,” the mighty voice said.
I just need to sense everything he has experienced in reality. Tutenmu also knew very well that Ambassador Vicar wasn’t omnipotent.
The stronger the aliens were, the more restrictions Ambassador Vicar’s prying would meet.
The human race was one of the largest species in the universe. Technology was what the human race was best at in this universe, and the Void Celestials couldn’t spy on the virtual world.
Just for the sake of corruption, Tutenmu had spent a huge sum of credit to exchange for Master of the Abyssal Void’s true projection. It was because the humans were strong enough that a milder corruption could be expelled by the three human Paramounts.
“Whirr—”
Tutenmu took in everything from the moment Xu Jingming was corrupted by high-dimensional powers.
He first fainted before being saved by the three Paramounts. Later on, the Ice Wine woke Xu Jingming up… Everything Xu Jingming had experienced in reality couldn’t be hidden from Ambassador Vicar’s prying eyes.
Ambassador Vicar also allowed Tutenmu to take all of it in.
Spearmanship path? He actually chose to temper his mind with spearmanship. The purple-robed man, Tutenmu, was dissatisfied. To temper one’s mind with spearmanship, one has to be devoted to the spear first! I have my own path; it’s impossible for me to be devoted to the spear.
However, I’ve already grasped the Heart Realm Force and can accommodate different paths. I can try to accommodate another.
Tutenmu experienced it.
Spearmanship tempers and purifies the mind.
Imitation method? What a lunatic. Tutenmu was surprised. He had a legacy, so it was impossible for him to learn via imitation. The most dangerous aspect of imitation was to become more exceptionally compatible with Abyssal Void and obtain more high-dimensional information—even Master of the Abyssal Void’s emotions and consciousness.
Thankfully, Ambassador Vicar’s prying is limited. He can’t directly pry into high-dimensional information. Tutenmu heaved a sigh of relief.
This was a good thing.
Ambassador Vicar found traces of Xu Jingming in the river of spacetime. He could only confirm the fluctuations in Xu Jingming’s emotions, thoughts, and means. Xu Jingming’s thoughts and visualization that were at a deeper level… couldn’t be probed.
Accommodate, refine, and condense?
He’s really talented. In 200 years, he condensed his mental strength eight times. Then, he opened up Wu Ming’s World and made all the powerhouses of the cosmic human race his whetstone? Unfortunately, I can’t pry into the true experiences in the virtual world. I can only confirm that in the 51 years since Wu Ming’s World was opened, his mental strength was condensed another three more times, making it a total of 11 times!
The starlight faded, and the possession ended.
Tutenmu exclaimed in surprise, “Just a single possession makes it clear what a genius is!”
“Human Wu Ming’s talent does far exceed that of other test subjects, and it even exceeds yours,” Ambassador Vicar agreed. “If you hadn’t corrupted him with high-dimensional powers, his growth probably would’ve been faster than Redmond’s. I believe he can become a cosmic legend in a thousand years or so.”
“Hahaha…” Tutenmu smiled. “Ambassador Vicar, do you think so highly of him?”
“I’ve seen countless lives and observed countless test subjects corrupted by the Void Celestials over the years. There’s not one more outstanding than Wu Ming.” Ambassador Vicar’s voice echoed in the hall. “After he decided on a path among the high-dimensional corruption, his mind was purified in just over 100 years. His imitation method was done in one go, and he condensed his mind 11 times in 200 years…
“Haha, that’s why I spared no expense to corrupt him and make him my test subject.” Tutenmu laughed loudly. “His talent destines him to be a cosmic legend! It has opened up another path in the Heart Realm Force for me. He might even give me some surprises when constructing his high-dimensional lifeform.”
“Those useless test subjects combined are probably inferior to Human Wu Ming.” Tutenmu looked forward to it.
“But he used imitation,” Ambassador Vicar said. “There will be endless trouble in the future.”
“Who cares?” Tutenmu scoffed. “I’m very satisfied as long as he inspires me.”
“I’m looking forward to… How will he grasp the Heart Realm Force?” Tutenmu was filled with anticipation. Just relying on those opponents in the virtual world is far from enough. The path of accommodation, refinement, and condensation is very difficult.
Tutenmu had Master of the Abyssal Void’s legacy, so he knew very well how difficult some paths were.
Tutenmu didn’t even dare to choose the condensation path. He took another direction and eventually grasped the Heart Realm Force successfully.
“Soon, you will suffer even more.” Tutenmu watched. “Unfortunately, Ambassador Vicar can’t pry into everything Wu Ming has experienced in the virtual world. My possession only gives a 50% effect.”
In reality, Xu Jingming also experimented with moves and carefully experienced them. Therefore, Tutenmu still gained a lot.
I will benefit greatly even if he suffers a little or goes crazy, with Wu Ming’s talent. Tutenmu looked forward to it.
…
Xu Jingming sat on an asteroid floating in space and held his head.
How uncomfortable. Xu Jingming held a wine flask and tipped his head to take a sip. The cold energy spread and suppressed the impact of the pain.
I use the Dark Primordial Star to suppress my abnormal emotions and occasionally vent them in reality. I can still control them now. Xu Jingming nodded slightly. I’ve already condensed my mental strength 11 times. I wonder when I can condense the Heart Realm Force.
Wu Ming’s World had been open for 51 years.
A total of 73,209 people had cleared the three levels. Only 11 of them were cosmic lifeforms, and the others were Origin lifeforms. However, only about 800 people could last more than a minute under Xu Jingming.
Only three people had lasted more than ten minutes.
Of course, he still hadn’t lost.
There are so many Origin lifeforms in the cosmic human race. I never expected only 70,000 to clear the third level. Xu Jingming shook his head. It’s much fewer than I expected. That’s right. The premise for weapon tempering… is to be devoted to the weapon.
But Origin lifeforms have their own goals. How many of them can be devoted to weapons?
However, having this many opponents is enough.
Xu Jingming was quite satisfied.
In particular, the 800-plus people who could last more than a minute were all extremely proficient in weaponry. As long as Xu Jingming suppressed his strength and speed slightly, he had quite a good time fighting.
Using spearmanship to temper the mind was temporarily enough.
The mental tempering of my spearmanship has been quite smooth. I’ve condensed it 11 times. If this continues, my mind will eventually undergo a qualitative change from the constant condensation, allowing me to break through to Heart Realm Force. When that happens, I’ll be able to tolerate the abnormal emotions, right? Xu Jingming thought.
******
In the blink of an eye, six years passed.
A spaceship tore through a cosmic wormhole in reality and arrived high above a mineral planet.
“The missing people should be here according to the virtual world.”
Inside this spaceship was an official Cosmic Human Alliance investigation team.
The investigation team had solemn expressions.
“We suspect that it’s Lord Wu Ming.” The team leader of the investigation team swept his subordinates with his gaze. “Therefore, everyone has to be careful and respectful. Don’t anger Lord Wu Ming.”
“We understand.”
“Team Leader, don’t worry. We won’t tempt fate.”
“If we anger Lord Wu Ming and he slaps us to death, all he’ll get is some credit deduction. Our deaths would have been in vain.”
These team members spoke one after another.
Investigation teams sent by the Cosmic Human Alliance could do whatever they wanted wherever they went, logically speaking. The local factions received them in fear.
But when it came to Lord Wu Ming, it was the investigation team’s turn to be terrified.
“Lock onto the planet and search for missing persons.” The team leader was even more careful, unwilling to leave the spaceship.
The spaceship began to scour the entire planet.
“Nothing.”
“None of those missing people can be found?” Everyone in the investigation team was a little puzzled. “The virtual world confirms that all the missing people are here.”
Hu!
A fiery-red-robed man appeared out of thin air and appeared inside the spaceship.
The expressions of all the investigation team members changed, and three members even kneeled down in fright.
All of them had been through a lot for their entry into the investigation team, but now that three team members were kneeling, the other team members were extremely terrified.
This was because… Xu Jingming’s aura was too terrifying.
The fiery-red-robed Xu Jingming’s eyes carried a terrifying pressure. Weaker cosmic lifeforms could probably die on the spot. Thankfully, the weakest in the investigation team was a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform.
“Lord Wu Ming.” The investigation team leader was an Origin lifeform. He carefully stepped forward.
“What are you doing here?” Xu Jingming looked at them coldly.
“More than 1,000 people from the surrounding galaxies have disappeared. They are all rather important personnel,” the team leader explained. “With so many important personnel missing, the Cosmic Human Alliance naturally has to investigate. We are certain that they should be on this mineral planet.”
“Oh.” Xu Jingming seemed to recall something and came to a realization. “They’re already dead.”
“Dead?” The team leader and members were puzzled.
“I’ve already sentenced them to death and updated it with the virtual world.” Xu Jingming was a little puzzled. “Why are you still here?”
“It wasn’t updated,” the team leader said anxiously. “The virtual world didn’t receive any evidence. Moreover, you didn’t update the execution process with the virtual world.”
“Did I not?” Xu Jingming thought for a moment and revealed a pained expression. He then held his head and came to a realization. “Oh, I’ll hand over the evidence now. You may return.”
He instantly submitted the evidence and the execution process. After that, Xu Jingming turned around and disappeared.
“He even remembered wrongly about updating with the virtual world? Forgotten?” The team leader’s expression changed slightly.
An Origin lifeform’s memory was amazingly good. It was impossible for them to make such a mistake.
“Let’s leave immediately,” the team leader ordered as the spaceship quickly left.
…
Xu Jingming was the only one left on the mineral planet.
Xu Jingming stood in midair and looked down with a puzzled expression. Did I remember wrongly?
“Master, it’s true that you failed to submit it,” Nine said. “I even reminded you.”
“Yeah, you reminded me. I remember submitting it when you reminded me.” Xu Jingming’s expression changed. “No, no. I’m a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform. How could I have remembered wrongly?”
