Chapter 158 No Slack

Inside a restaurant on a tourist planet in the New Homeworld Universe.

Li Miaomiao sat alone at the dining table, looking at the bustling night scene outside the window, but her heart was full of worry. "Jingming has been very leisurely since becoming a high-dimensional lifeform, and he's always been with me and our daughter. I've never seen him so nervous before, or seen him leave so abruptly without even explaining things clearly."

"What exactly happened? What could make a high-dimensional lifeform from the Heart Realm lineage so anxious?" Countless thoughts raced through Li Miaomiao's mind.

Xu Jingming appeared out of thin air opposite the dining table.

"Miaomiao, it's nothing," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Let's continue eating."

"What was that just now?" Li Miaomiao pressed.

"I've reached a critical moment in my cultivation, and I can't be distracted," Xu Jingming said vaguely. No one could help with matters in the myriad races world, and he didn't want his family to worry about him.

Li Miaomiao nodded slightly. She didn't understand much about cultivation.

"How did it go?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"I made some progress," Xu Jingming said with a smile. He had indeed made significant progress this time, finally mastering the sixth realm, the 'Realm of Life and Death,' of the Bafang Diagram.

Remember the website

The myriad races world.

Inside a luxurious palace in the Giant Ape race's territory, a large number of Giant Ape soldiers guarded the area.

A thin Giant Ape and a black-haired Giant Ape walked toward the depths of the palace, unhindered, and soon arrived at a garden where a one-armed Giant Ape was sitting by a bonfire, roasting meat.

"Your Majesty," the thin Giant Ape and the black-haired Giant Ape said respectfully.

The one-armed Giant Ape King was only 12 meters tall, considered short even among the Giant Ape race, and he was also disabled.

Yet, he was now the leader of all branches of the Giant Ape race.

"I've watched the videos of your battle," the one-armed Giant Ape King said while roasting the meat. "For him to be born into the weak human race and reach such strength in just over a hundred years, his potential is very high."

"He's nothing compared to Your Majesty," the thin Giant Ape said.

He knew very well how powerful the King was!

He had nearly died from just one move from him.

"No, no, no."

The one-armed Giant Ape King turned the meat skewer in his hand. "If I had been born into the human race, I wouldn't necessarily have been able to reach this level of strength. I suspect... he might be a half-step third realm existence like me in the outside world."

Jiu Luo Jin listened respectfully.

Over the years, the King had never concealed his power, and other powerful races dared not come to the Giant Ape race because of the King's existence.

"Although I'm in the top three in the Giant Ape race, the gap between me and the King is enormous. The King always uses only one arm when sparring with me. But there's no doubt... at his level, he can regenerate a severed arm," Jiu Luo Jin had always regarded the King as a goal to pursue.

"From now on, gather information about this human," the one-armed Giant Ape King said, lifting the roast meat to his face and sniffing it. "Report immediately once you discover his location! It's best to eliminate truly threatening opponents as early as possible."

"Yes," Jiu Luo Jin responded respectfully, feeling a bit of pity for Xu Jingming.

If the King really found him, the human would have no power to resist.

"In the outside world, I might have become friends with him. But in the myriad races world, I have to seize every opportunity," the one-armed Giant Ape King said with a cold glint in his eyes. He knew very well that the rules of the myriad races world were different from the outside world. The half-step third realm existences and abyss lords who were powerful outside might not be the most powerful here.

Those Eternal Realm existences at the peak were already just a step away from them. If they happened to be well-suited to the rules of the myriad races world, they could very well surpass them.

The one-armed Giant Ape King ate the roast meat in large bites, his eyes cold. "My opportunity lies mainly in the first few rounds! The advantage of weak races will increase later on. Based on my perception at the time... there were more than twenty half-step third realm existences and abyss lords! Coupled with some powerhouses who were suited to the myriad races world emerging from the 5 million-plus high-dimensional lifeforms, the competition is fierce."

"I can't afford to slack off. To slack off is to die!" The one-armed Giant Ape King finished the roast meat, even chewing and swallowing the bones.

After that battle, Xu Jingming quietly left the kingdom of the Hundred Flower Elf race and went to a more remote place.

Inside a volcano.

Beside a lava lake, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged, his body surging with fiery energy.

"The body carries the mind, and the mind controls the body," Xu Jingming mused. "In the previous battle, I mastered the Realm of Life and Death of the Bafang Diagram. The power of the Realm of Life and Death has also unlocked even greater potential in my body. In a short period of time, I've climbed from level 52 to level 53."

"That's the crudest way to unlock potential. I have to create a more perfect 'Realm of Life and Death' body refinement method," Xu Jingming thought. His numerous avatars in the outside world were also thinking at super-high speed, deducing various possibilities.

Then, he began to stand up and try out various new body refinement methods.

Suddenly, his watch vibrated slightly.

Xu Jingming tapped it gently.

"Ming, you were the one who fought with those three Giant Apes, right? Although I haven't seen your real face, I'm too familiar with your fighting style," Ying's voice came from the watch.

"You managed to get the video of the fight from half a month ago?" Xu Jingming didn't deny it. After all, he had fought with Ying, and Ying had experienced the power of the Heart Spirit Weapon technique, getting badly injured with one punch.

"Ming, your video is being spread rapidly. We've all seen it," another excited voice sounded.

"Sir Ming, you're so strong! To reach level 50-plus in just over a hundred years," yet another pleasant voice sounded.

Xu Jingming was surprised to hear this. "How many of you are together?"

"There are nine of us now," Ying explained. "We're too weak. If we act alone and encounter a powerful race, we won't be able to escape! With nine of us together... at least we can escape separately."

"If we were with Sir Ming, we might not even need to escape. We could just counter-kill them," the pleasant voice said immediately. "Sir Ming, I'm Yu Yangwei, and I was born in the North Wind Kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms of the Human race. I've never met Sir Ming before. This is the first time I've seen Sir Ming in the video. Sir Ming's strength... is much stronger than all nine of us. Sir Ming... how about the nine of us act together with you?"

This high-dimensional lifeform named Yu Yangwei was very enthusiastic.

"Ming, do you want to act together?" Ying pressed.

"I'm used to being alone," Xu Jingming refused.

What did it mean to be able to kill a Giant Ape and fight Jia Luo Jin of the Giant Ape race to a standstill?

It meant that he was in even greater danger!

Among the powerful races, there were many existences stronger than Jia Luo Jin. As a weak human with such strength, he was likely to be regarded as a future strong competitor by some powerful races, who would naturally want to find a way to eliminate him as soon as possible.

"The human high-dimensional lifeforms are also my competitors. They might betray me," Xu Jingming didn't trust any of them, which was why he was acting alone.

"In this world, there are some who can kill me now, but not too many. In the vast myriad races world, the probability of them encountering me is extremely low. On the other hand, the probability of being betrayed is higher if I act with others," Xu Jingming was very cautious.

Because he couldn't afford to fail.

"I knew that was Ming's temperament," Ying said with a smile, and continued to ask, "Ming, some of them suggested... exchanging the body refinement methods they created with your body refinement method."

"Exchanging with my body refinement method?" Xu Jingming asked in reply. "How can you be sure that the body refinement method I give you is genuine?"

"We trust you. We'll send you the body refinement methods of the nine of us first," Ying said.

"Sir Ming, please take a look at the body refinement methods we give you first!" Yu Yangwei also said.

Nine body refinement methods were transmitted over the network.

Xu Jingming opened the watch screen and carefully read the body refinement methods one by one.

"The nine of them each have their own style," Xu Jingming was quite surprised. "As expected of high-dimensional lifeforms, they've all opened up their own paths. I can try all nine of these body refinement methods and integrate their essence into my body refinement method."

After Xu Jingming finished reading, he thought for a moment and said, "I haven't recorded my body refinement method yet. I'll record it and send it to you later."

"Okay," Ying and the other eight were very well-behaved.

Xu Jingming closed the watch communication.

"I'll just send them the Body Refinement Limit Version 9.13 that I once tried," Xu Jingming had deduced many versions in the process of cultivation. "This version is too extreme. Although it's efficient, the ceiling is relatively low... but passing level 50 is no problem."

That day, Xu Jingming spent more than three hours recording the body refinement method video, coupled with a lot of text information, and after working for most of the day, he sent this complete body refinement method over.

"Body Refinement Limit Method?" After seeing it, Ying, Yu Yangwei, and the other eight understood that it was much more powerful than their own body refinement methods. After all, they were all at level forty-plus, and they had extraordinary vision. They were all overjoyed.

"Sir Ming is indeed trustworthy," Yu Yangwei praised.

"It shouldn't be difficult to cultivate this set of body refinement methods to level 50," the others also showed joy.

...

The high-dimensional lifeforms of the powerful races were frantically attacking and killing people all over the world. Xu Jingming traveled all over the world, even drifting at sea, surviving on islands, but every ten or twenty years, he would occasionally be discovered by a powerful race.

After all, the powerful races were flying around the world in aircraft.

But once they discovered Xu Jingming, it was a disaster for the powerful races! Most of them died at Xu Jingming's hands, and only a few were able to escape.

There were too few powerful races that could be stronger than Xu Jingming. Like the Giant Ape race, there was only the One-Armed Giant Ape King.

Although they would immediately report the news, Xu Jingming would immediately leave after each battle, not giving the other party a chance to chase him.

After suffering a few losses, and with Xu Jingming constantly changing his body shape and appearance, his identity became too mysterious. This led some powerful races to completely give up on hunting down human powerhouses, because there were not many human powerhouses to begin with, and if they encountered one, it might be Ming in disguise.

Over the years, unconsciously, many high-dimensional lifeforms had descended into the myriad races world for 321 years, and there was only one year left until the opening of the myriad races arena.
