Chapter 15 Meeting Again

Xu Jingming stood at the window, deep in thought.

In the past century, he had come into contact with some high-dimensional lifeforms who had descended into the human race. The one he had the best relationship with was 'Shadow.' When they first met, they had even fought. Xu Jingming had injured Shadow severely with a single punch, forcing him to flee in a sorry state.

Shadow was exceptionally skilled at escaping.

"They are all preparing to flee," Xu Jingming murmured. "I have to leave too! Staying in the city will only harm the innocent."

The clash of experts at the Lv. 50 level was simply impossible for ordinary humans to withstand.

Xu Jingming immediately left the group headquarters and headed to his parents' residence.

"Son is here!" Yuan Yu, who was watering flowers in the yard, called out happily.

Jing Yulong was sitting on the living room sofa, watching a program on the light screen with a silly grin. Suddenly, he heard his wife's call from the yard and excitedly got up to open the door. He saw Xu Jingming walking into the yard.

"Son, it's been a long time since you've been here," Jing Yulong said with a smile. "Your old man will personally cook today."

"I'm just here for a short visit," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"You need to rest too; don't be too busy," Yuan Yu said. "You're a legendary martial artist after all. You don't need to worry about the group's affairs; just leave them to the clansmen."

Jing Yulong also said with a chuckle, "Your mother is right. Life is only so long. It's all the same whether you work hard your whole life or enjoy it. You're a legendary martial artist now, so you should enjoy life."

Xu Jingming sat down on the living room sofa. "Don't worry, I know. By the way, how is your body refinement cultivation going?"

"Son, the 'Longevity Body Refinement Method' you created is really effective. I'm already at Lv. 10," Yuan Yu said. "Look, your mother doesn't even have any wrinkles on her face; she's getting younger the more she practices."

"I'm already at Lv. 13," Jing Yulong said. "You're just not diligent enough in your practice."

"Take it slow," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "My body refinement method is low in difficulty and mainly relies on time to slowly improve. The higher the martial artist's level, the longer their lifespan. At Lv. 15, you two will be able to live for five hundred years. At Lv. 20, you can live for nearly a thousand years."

Jing Yulong exclaimed in amazement, "Son, your body refinement method is extraordinary. Both your mother and I have the talent to exceed Lv. 10. This body refinement method… is enough to make a family prosperous for generations to come."

Jing Yulong was very clear about the preciousness of this body refinement method.

Xu Jingming smiled.

He himself had reached Lv. 50; creating a body refinement method suitable for his parents was naturally not difficult.

The principle of the Longevity Body Refinement Method was to pursue 'a slight improvement every day,' not seeking rapid progress, but striving for 'constant progress.' His parents had been learning this body refinement method for eighty years, and Xu Jingming had also improved and modified it several times. In eighty years, his parents had improved to such strength.

"Son, what level do you think your mother can reach at most?" Yuan Yu asked.

"As long as you insist on practicing ten times a day, Lv. 15 shouldn't be a problem," Xu Jingming said.

"She's lazy. Eight times today, five times tomorrow," Jing Yulong said.

"It sounds simple, but it's really hard to insist on ten times a day," Yuan Yu said.

"How am I able to do it?" Jing Yulong retorted.

Xu Jingming watched his parents bickering with a smile.

"Mom, Dad, my martial arts have reached a bottleneck, and I'm planning to travel around the surrounding countries to take a look," Xu Jingming said. "If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."

"Alright, just be careful," Jing Yulong and his wife weren't too worried. Their son was a legendary martial artist after all.

…

That day, after arranging the affairs of the Jing Corporation, Xu Jingming quietly left Jianghan City.

Within half a month, the high-dimensional lifeforms who had descended into the seven human nations all left one by one.

The high-dimensional lifeforms who had descended into weaker races weren't stupid either. Since powerful races were carrying out assassinations, they naturally wouldn't stay where they were. Instead, they went to some remote and desolate places to hide first.

They had also collected the body refinement methods they needed to collect.

Wasn't it the same wherever they cultivated?

******

Xu Jingming began a life of traveling and cultivating. He left the seven human nations and experienced the scenery and tasted the delicacies of various places in different alien lands, constantly pursuing the limits of body refinement methods.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Inside a city of the Hundred Flower Elf race.

Xu Jingming sat in a restaurant, tasting alien delicacies.

"The Elf race is a large race with many branches, such as the Hundred Flower Elves, Sea Elves, Dark Elves, Green Elves, Moonlight Elves, Sun Elves, and many other branches. However, the Elf race's physical fitness is generally comparable to that of the human race, and they are also a relatively weak race," Xu Jingming thought as he ate the delicacies. Even after becoming a high-dimensional lifeform, food was still his hobby.

"The Hundred Flower Elf race was once attacked by two experts from the Mountain Demon race, and some high-dimensional lifeforms who had descended into the Hundred Flower Elf race died," Xu Jingming lamented. "However, places that have been attacked like this are relatively safe."

"Hmm."

Xu Jingming took a sip of his drink and exclaimed, "As expected of a drink made by the Hundred Flower Elves. The quality is indeed far superior to the drinks and wines made by other races."

Drinking the beverage and eating some vegetable dishes.

"The only drawback of the Hundred Flower Elf race's food… is that there is no meat," Xu Jingming ate a large mushroom. "But the taste of this mushroom is no less than that of meat."

Alien food had a unique flavor.

"Mom, is that a human?" At another table in the restaurant, a family of three was having lunch. One of the little girls looked at Xu Jingming with curiosity.

After all, the Hundred Flower Elf race was too far away from the seven human nations. Many Hundred Flower Elves had never seen a human in their lives.

Xu Jingming smiled at the little girl. In alien lands, he was used to being watched!

"It's the same as what I saw on the internet. He's taller and stronger than us. His arm is thicker than your thigh, Dad," the little girl said.

"That's rude," the father scolded his daughter, then gave Xu Jingming an apologetic smile. The Hundred Flower Elf father was slender, with fair skin, pointed ears, and a rosy complexion, as beautiful as a flower. This father would surpass 99% of the women in the seven human nations in terms of appearance.

The Hundred Flower Elf race was like this; regardless of gender, they were all incredibly beautiful, even more so than other Elf branches.

Xu Jingming was helpless.

He was considered a handsome man in the seven human nations. Even though he practiced martial arts all year round, his arms were of normal thickness. It was just that the Hundred Flower Elves were generally too thin.

Just then—

A large oval aircraft was flying in the sky above the city.

In the control room, three Giant Ape race members were sitting in their seats, looking out at the vast land through the glass.

"We haven't found any prey for a whole month," a tall Giant Ape said. "The high-dimensional lifeforms of the weaker races are all very cunning, hiding in places that are difficult for us to find."

"After all, the hunt has been going on for three years. The high-dimensional lifeforms who have descended into the weaker races aren't stupid. They can't possibly stay in their original races and wait for us to come," a black-haired Giant Ape said.

"In the first two hundred years, we had the advantage. But the longer we delay… we will progress slower and slower, but the weaker races will quickly catch up," the smallest Giant Ape said. "So we must take advantage of the stage where we have the advantage and assassinate as many as possible. No matter how they hide, they can't leave this world. Our aircraft flies erratically, and over time, it's easy to encounter high-dimensional lifeforms from other races."

"Hmm," the tall Giant Ape and the black-haired Giant Ape nodded.

The small Giant Ape suddenly his eyes lit up. He looked in a certain direction. "I've found a prey: a human expert."

"A human who escaped to the Hundred Flower Elf race?" The tall Giant Ape and the black-haired Giant Ape both revealed looks of joy.

"Chase after him!"

The small Giant Ape, tall Giant Ape, and black-haired Giant Ape quickly rushed out of the aircraft and directly free-fell. *Thump! Thump! Thump!* They landed heavily on the ground, and then the three of them strode forward.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Their speed erupted, just like three shells dozens of times the speed of sound, tearing through the air. Everywhere they passed was a roar.

…

Hundred Flower Elf City, inside the restaurant.

Xu Jingming was tasting the delicacies, smiling as he looked at the Elf little girl when suddenly, his expression changed.

He sensed that 152 *li* away, three Giant Ape race experts were rushing straight toward him at an astonishing speed. The direction they were heading… was clearly locked onto his location.

"Did they discover me in advance?" Xu Jingming was shocked.

Whoever discovered the other first could glean the other's strength.

Being able to sense 152 *li* was already excellent, but the three Giant Ape race members were rushing over, obviously having discovered him in advance. At least in terms of aura perception, the Giant Ape race was stronger than him!

"Go."

Xu Jingming instantly rushed out of the window, turning into a blur! His body was much smaller than the Giant Ape race's, and he was very careful about controlling the power of airflow. The commotion caused by his extreme speed running was much smaller than that of the Giant Ape race.

*Whoosh—*

A blur rushed from inside the city to outside the city in just one second.

Everywhere he passed, the air surged! Glass shattered, and a large number of Hundred Flower Elves were terrified.

"What's going on?" Countless Hundred Flower Elves exclaimed.

"A mysterious expert has been discovered. Everyone, immediately hide in the underground shelters." A notice from the Hundred Flower Elf race immediately appeared on the restaurant's light screen. The light screen video showed Xu Jingming, who had been slowed down many times, as well as the three Giant Ape race figures, also slowed down.

The floating spherical monitors in the sky above the city were locking onto Xu Jingming and the three Giant Ape race members.

"The human race's mysterious expert and the three Giant Ape race experts, their speeds all exceed 20,000 meters per second," the measured values immediately appeared on the light screen.

"Quick, quick."

All the guests in the restaurant were terrified. The little girl's family of three also rushed toward the underground shelter.

Because not long ago, the Hundred Flower Elf race had encountered 'battles of mysterious experts.' The mysterious experts' speeds were generally above 10,000 meters per second! The commotion of the battle was enough to sweep through the entire city. Only by hiding underground could they have a better chance of surviving.

"What's going on these past few years? In the past, the first place in the myriad race arena only had speeds of thousands of meters per second. Now, the mysterious experts that have emerged can break 10,000 meters per second," the little girl's father said as he held the little girl and hid in the underground shelter.

"Dad, the human race uncle who was eating with us just now is that human race mysterious expert," the little girl said.

"He's being chased by three Giant Ape race experts right now and may be killed," the father said in a low voice. "Not long ago, many of our Hundred Flower Elf race's mysterious experts were killed."

…

Xu Jingming turned into a blur and rushed out of the city in one second, arriving at a large lake that stretched for hundreds of *li* in three seconds. He was very clear about the surrounding geography and was deliberately heading towards this lake.

Xu Jingming was light and small, running across the water of the lake. In just over ten seconds, he rushed out of the lake.

"He can run pretty well!" The three Giant Ape race members also chased after him all the way. The commotion they caused by stepping on the lake water was much greater, but at such a fast speed, the lake water only submerged their feet.

"The three of them are faster than me." Xu Jingming used the lake to slightly widen the distance, but soon the other party closed the distance again.

"The Giant Ape race is large, takes bigger strides, and runs faster than me." Xu Jingming was also quite frustrated.

One step taken by the Giant Ape race was equivalent to dozens of steps taken by Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming clearly sensed the three Giant Ape race members approaching, but he could do nothing about it.

After one minute and twenty-two seconds of escaping.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Three enormous figures appeared around Xu Jingming.

"Continue running?" The tall Giant Ape looked at Xu Jingming with a sneer. "With your little arms and legs, you think you can escape?"

Xu Jingming observed the three Giant Ape race members. The Giant Ape race was also a relatively large race with many branches, such as 'Hill Giant Apes,' 'Forest Giant Apes,' 'Earth Giant Apes,' and so on.

"These three Giant Apes are from different Giant Ape race branches. I've seen the tall Giant Ape in videos; in the videos, he displayed a strength of Lv. 52," Xu Jingming's heart tightened. "The one who gives me the strongest sense of oppression… is that small Giant Ape."

Of the three Giant Ape race members, the smallest one seemingly, Xu Jingming faintly sensed an extremely terrifying threat.

"Escape, escape, escape. Fighting will lead to death." Xu Jingming's intuition constantly reminded him.

"But I… can't escape." Xu Jingming's eyes sharpened.

Although he was a high-dimensional lifeform of the Heart Boundary lineage, he had become ordinary in the myriad race world.

Dying here meant complete death.

At this moment—

On Myriad Star Island, Xu Jingming's avatar chose to enter seclusion.

All the avatars dissipated. Each and every avatar was completely focused, paying attention to this battle in the myriad race world.

"I have important matters." Xu Jingming's avatar, who was accompanying his wife, Li Miaomiao, also disappeared without a trace.

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao was shocked. This was the first time Xu Jingming's avatar had suddenly disappeared after arriving in the new universe.

At this moment.

Xu Jingming forbade himself from being distracted by anything, focusing all his energy on dealing with this battle.

"All avatars, go all out to face this battle." At this moment, the will of all Xu Jingming's avatars was incredibly condensed.

…

Xu Jingming carefully paid attention to the three Giant Ape race experts around him.

"Whether you are a Deep Abyss Overlord, a Half-Step Third Realm existence, or a peerless genius, today you only have one outcome—death!" The small Giant Ape looked at Xu Jingming coldly. "Attack!"

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

The three Giant Ape race members didn't care about ganging up on him at all, attacking Xu Jingming from all sides.

Xu Jingming's eyes turned red in an instant. He had nowhere to retreat!
