Chapter 11 A Great Eye-Opener

"Truly a great eye-opener. I never imagined there would be such wondrous objects." Xu Jingming happily put away the treasure. Then, his multiple clones merged back into one, and he silently left the spot, continuing to advance deeper into the mountain region.

Xu Jingming didn't dare linger in the same place, fearing that the commotion of battle would attract other experts. After all, this was the mountain region, and many invincible experts at the half-step to the third realm level were active here. He still had some distance to go before he could match them.

"Whew."

While traveling, inside the small universe he carried with him, hundreds of Xu Jingmings sat cross-legged. In front of them floated the illusory sphere.

The surface of the illusory sphere shimmered with flowing light. Under Xu Jingming's conscious guidance, the sphere transformed, beginning to construct an immensely vast and complex Abyss. As time passed, this illusory Abyss became more boundless, and its intangible aura grew increasingly terrifying.

"Normally, when I'm fighting, I have to construct the Void Abyss in an instant, and my mind has to bear the entire Abyss, which is a huge burden," Xu Jingming thought. "But with this treasure, it will bear the Void Abyss. Moreover, I have enough time to slowly construct it, and the Void Abyss I create will be even more vast and powerful."

There was naturally a difference between constructing the Void Abyss in an instant and constructing it slowly, without time constraints.

Without having to worry about the burden on his mind, Xu Jingming could freely construct the Void Abyss to be as vast as possible, and in this way, its power would naturally increase rapidly.

After more than three hours, the illusory sphere had completely transformed into a vast Illusory Abyss.

"It took more than three hours to construct this Void Abyss, which is almost my current limit. Fortunately, I have this treasure as a carrier; otherwise, my mind simply couldn't bear such a massive illusion." The many Xu Jingmings smiled. Then, they temporarily set aside the Void Abyss and began to carefully study the three glyphs he had discovered after killing the alien beast.

Three different types of glyphs combined perfectly, representing a new world.

Xu Jingming studied these three glyphs, while his clones in the outer regions of the boundless land observed and collected more than a thousand glyphs, pondering various combinations.

"Is this the power of a higher dimension?" Xu Jingming had been amazed when he studied each glyph individually, but now that he was studying the combination of three glyphs, he was even more shocked.

His external clones traveled, and the burden of travel on his mind was negligible. Almost all of his energy was focused on studying these mysterious glyphs.

...

Inside a pavilion in Featherfire City, mist swirled. Xu Jingming, Realm Lord Old Tree, and Island Lord Emperor Dragon were gathered together, drinking and chatting.

"My clone in the Ultimate Land also died today," Realm Lord Old Tree sighed. "Of the friends who went together, only Wu Ming and Beihe are left."

"I died inside, and Beihe is still alive!" Island Lord Emperor Dragon couldn't help but say. "I've talked with many friends, and even the outer regions of the Ultimate Land are encountering some invincible experts at the half-step to the third realm level, Abyss Overlords."

Realm Lord Old Tree nodded. "I was killed by an Abyss Overlord. I saw some experts clashing in the mountain region from afar, so I was very careful, preferring to stay in the outer regions rather than enter the inner regions. Who would have thought that after hiding for so long, I would still encounter an Abyss Overlord today! All the mysterious glyphs I had accumulated were plundered."

"The few third-realm weapons I brought in are also gone," Island Lord Emperor Dragon shook his head, feeling quite distressed. Those were all painstakingly accumulated.

Xu Jingming frowned. "Are invincible experts at the half-step to the third realm level and Abyss Overlords also going to the outer regions?"

"Yes."

Island Lord Emperor Dragon nodded. "I inquired about it! I heard that the fighting in the inner regions is intense, and some invincible experts at the half-step to the third realm level and Abyss Overlords feel that mysterious glyphs are also important, so they are going to the outer regions to hunt down weaker half-step to the third realm experts, plundering a large number of mysterious glyphs."

Xu Jingming became wary. He had clones in the outer regions.

"The outer regions are vast, so as long as you are careful and vigilant, there is still hope to hide for a while longer," Realm Lord Old Tree said. "Of our group of friends, only you and Beihe are left. Beihe is also relying on you. You have to last longer."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"Brother Wu Ming," Island Lord Emperor Dragon said solemnly, "The Ultimate Land will become more and more brutal as time goes on. Most of those who can survive there for a long time are very difficult to deal with. You must be careful."

"Don't worry," Xu Jingming still had some confidence.

Having obtained a treasure, the power of his Void Abyss Illusion had greatly increased. He also had a third-realm weapon in the Mind Weapon lineage. Combining the two, Xu Jingming believed that although there was a gap between him and invincible experts at the half-step to the third realm level, he was confident in his ability to protect himself.

******

Xu Jingming's external clones were also inquiring about information.

In the Ultimate Land, he had divided his forces into two groups.

One group carried mysterious glyphs, focusing on carefully surviving in the outer regions, occasionally being attacked by native creatures, which he could kill to accumulate mysterious glyphs. The other group was in the mountain region, where dangers lurked everywhere, but where there were also more treasures and opportunities.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jingming had been exploring the mountain region for ten days. During that time, he had been attacked by native creatures seven times. Relying on the greatly increased power of his Void Abyss Illusion and Mind Weapon, he had successively killed seven native creatures, obtaining quite a few mysterious glyphs.

After the seven native creatures died, they left behind a combination of three glyphs at the very least and a combination of five glyphs at most.

"The strength of the native creatures in the inner regions has greatly increased. But once they start fighting, they become very frenzied, preferring death to retreat," Xu Jingming wondered.

The native creatures in the outer regions, although they only had one glyph, were much more cunning, knowing to escape when they couldn't win. The inner regions were clearly different.

"Fortunately, I obtained a treasure, which greatly increased the strength of my illusion. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with the native creatures," Xu Jingming secretly rejoiced, then shook his head. "Unfortunately, I only obtained one treasure."

In the past ten days, he had seen other treasures from afar, but being able to see them from a distance would attract some experts, and the competition was very fierce. Xu Jingming was obediently hiding.

"Killing native creatures has yielded various glyph combinations," Xu Jingming frowned. "I have gained some insights, but they don't help me much."

Compared to when he first entered the Ultimate Land, his strength had improved a lot.

But it was mainly due to the treasure! Which caused a qualitative change in the power of his Void Abyss Illusion! The help brought by the mysterious glyphs only slightly increased the power of his Mind Weapon.

"It shouldn't be like this."

"I can feel that the mysterious glyphs contain the power of a higher dimension. If I truly enter the door, there should be a qualitative change!" Xu Jingming longed for such power. "If I can master such power, perhaps I will have hope of reaching the third realm."

A half-step to the third realm, reaching the third realm?

It was too difficult.

Lord Featherfire had cultivated for a lifetime, but hadn't cultivated even one.

But Xu Jingming vaguely felt that these mysterious glyphs left behind by the Ultimate existence should help him reach the third realm.

"The power of a higher dimension..." Xu Jingming continued to study and think while traveling.

Perhaps because a large number of invincible experts at the half-step to the third realm level and Abyss Overlords had entered the inner regions to explore in advance, the treasures and opportunities that were slightly easier to discover had been taken away. Xu Jingming had not found a second treasure to this day.

Luck was an unpredictable thing.

Sometimes you could get it easily, and sometimes you couldn't find it no matter how hard you searched. Xu Jingming maintained a normal state of mind and had enough patience.

"Hmm?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up. He vaguely glimpsed an inconspicuous shadow in the distant mountains and forests, but he felt a inexplicable tremor in his heart. "Just watching a wisp of a shadow from afar has affected my mind? It must be a rare treasure!"

Xu Jingming immediately approached it.

But at this moment, two auras erupted in the distance.

"Boom." "Boom."

"Haha, I was one step faster. This treasure is mine." Accompanied by loud laughter, a tall figure in black robes, with black aura rising from his body, grabbed a transparent long staff with one hand.

Xu Jingming's heart trembled when he saw this scene. With his realm, he could instantly determine that the material of the transparent long staff was exactly the same as the Mind Pearl. After all, he had refined many Mind Pearls, so he was very familiar with them.

"A small Mind Pearl is worth 3 drops of Abyss Motherblood. A long staff of the same material... is worth thousands or even tens of thousands of Mind Pearls." Although Xu Jingming didn't know the use of the transparent long staff, he could guess, "A long staff constructed from so many Mind Pearl materials must have a miraculous effect on the Mind Domain lineage."

Just watching it, Xu Jingming felt his mind being drawn, it was truly an extremely precious treasure of the Mind Domain lineage.

Treasures that he had never even heard of before were casually appearing in the Ultimate Land.

Unfortunately, it wasn't his.

"One step too late." Another figure, bathed in a blazing white aura, looked at the scene with some annoyance.

When the strength was comparable, whoever grabbed the treasure first would be difficult for the opponent to contest.

In the Abyss environment, Abyss Overlords were comparable to invincible experts at the half-step to the third realm level.

"Chang Ming, consider yourself lucky." The figure in the blazing white aura glanced coldly at Monarch Chang Ming, then glanced in Xu Jingming's direction, and then swooshed away.

"Swoosh." Xu Jingming also immediately retreated violently.

"Retreat?"

A black aura instantly intercepted Xu Jingming in front of him. It was the tall Monarch Chang Ming, who was observing Xu Jingming with interest. "Wu Ming, did you think you could escape?"

Xu Jingming looked at the other party. "Monarch Chang Ming."

"I sensed you when you rushed towards that treasure just now." Monarch Chang Ming's eyes were cold, and black gas filled the air. "Speaking of which, you and I have a very good connection. Last time under Featherfire Mountain, you escaped from my hands, didn't you?"

With Monarch Chang Ming's level of existence, his memory was terrifying. Not to mention things he had experienced, he would never forget even things he had observed from the timeline without personally experiencing them.

"Monarch Chang Ming, I have no intention of being your enemy," Xu Jingming said, slightly bowing his head to show weakness.

"I'm not interested in killing you." Monarch Chang Ming's cold eyes were full of anticipation. "But I'm interested in your treasure!"
