Chapter 1 Virtual World Network, Personal Space

Xu Jingming sat on the sofa: "Life comes into this world, naturally entangled by karma! After sorting out the two largest karmic ties, my family and the Blue Star civilization, there's a large number of other trivial karmas."

Humans are social animals.

Friends, teachers, disciples, grudges, love… various trivial karmas, seemingly small, but when accumulated, they resemble countless small chains wrapped around the body, thoroughly permeating life.

"Sorting out these trivial karmas, repaying kindness, avenging grudges," Xu Jingming thought.

Fortunately, he was only over five hundred years old. Compared to those tenth-order Origin Lives, he was still very young, and his karma was relatively less. "Xiao Jiu," Xu Jingming said, "How are my friends from the Pearwood Squad doing?"

Whoosh!

Immediately, a large amount of information about Yang Qinglian, Heng Fang, Liu Chongyuan, and Wang Yi appeared.

"Master, the official members of the Pearwood Squad have excellent relationships with their wives. With their help over the years, they have all achieved success," Xiao Jiu explained. "What's special is Yang Qingshuo. He has achieved the highest level in the evolutionary path among the four, reaching seventh-order."

"Among Master's friends from his youth, the one with the highest evolutionary achievement is Liu Hai, reaching eighth-order! Followed by Yang Qingshuo," Xiao Jiu said.

Xu Jingming smiled. "That child slave, his evolutionary path is even higher than Lei Yunfang and Tie Lianyun, reaching seventh-order? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

"He just broke through three years ago," Xiao Jiu explained. "Since Master was contaminated by the higher dimensions, he hasn't contacted his old friends, and all their messages have been temporarily blocked."

"Is that so?"

Xu Jingming was stunned.

After being contaminated by the higher dimensions, he deliberately kept his distance from his family and the Blue Star civilization! He didn't want to stir up any big storms in the virtual world network. That's why he rarely met his family. This time, he decided to expand the territory of the Blue Star civilization in order to sort out karma.

"It's been over a hundred years since I contacted them?" Xu Jingming gently tapped, looking at the detailed information of his friends. Yang Qinglian was Xu Jingming's best brother in his youth.

During college, he had outstanding talent, and both he and Xu Jingming were recruited into the national team. The two brothers competed in the World Martial Arts Competition.

After retiring early, his life fell into a low ebb due to disability. Later, the arrival of the virtual world and the emergence of the evolutionary method completely changed his fate.

"This child slave treats his son as the most important thing in his life," Xu Jingming said, looking at the information record of Yang Qinglian. "It wasn't until his son got married and started a career that he truly and completely focused on the evolutionary path."

"In the early days, Yang Qinglian's global ranking was not high. Even in Xia Country, there were many who were more dazzling than him. People like Fang Yu, Tu Ling, Wang Yi, Zhao Fan, Zhang Qing, Zhou Yi, Lei Yunfang, and Tie Lianyun were all stronger than Yang Qinglian at the time."

"After his son got married and started a career, he was over fifty years old, lived alone, and completely focused on the evolutionary path! His progress speed clearly accelerated."

"He quietly reached seventh-order?" Xu Jingming smiled as he looked at the information. He reached out and gently tapped, inviting Yang Qinglian to meet.

Yang Qinglian was living a very comfortable life these days. His son, Yang Tao, got married and started a career. After five hundred years, he had countless descendants. Although he was a good friend of Xu Jingming and had an extraordinary relationship with the Pearwood Group, Yang Qinglian did not establish a group company. He only established a small studio, entirely for his own evolutionary path.

"Living in this era is my luck. I can fight against stronger experts and pursue the higher peak of my own evolution," Yang Qinglian was in a very happy mood.

He always had a grateful heart for the virtual world and evolution.

If it weren't for the emergence of the virtual world and the evolutionary method, his mother and his entire life would not have been completely reversed. Suddenly, he received a contact.

"Huh?" Yang Qinglian was astonished, "Brother Xu?"

"Brother Xu has reportedly reached the limit of Origin Life in recent hundred years, and his evolutionary path is at a critical moment, so he shouldn't be disturbed. Why is he contacting me?"

Yang Qinglian was puzzled. He didn't know about Xu Jingming's contamination; he only knew that he shouldn't be disturbed.

Yang Qinglian gently tapped and accepted the invitation, heading to Xu Jingming's personal space.

After Yang Qingshuo appeared, he looked at Xu Jingming in front of him.

Xu Jingming wore a black robe. Although he had a smile on his face, he exuded an invisible pressure that made Yang Qingshuo's heart tremble. It was like a mortal facing a boundless, surging sea, filled with fear and feeling insignificant.

However, Yang Qinglian had cultivated the evolutionary path for five hundred years and possessed extraordinary mental fortitude, so he was able to steady himself.

"Brother Xu, I feel a little flustered when I see you now," Yang Qingshuo said with a smile. "Is this the limit of Origin Life?"

"My mental cultivation is still not enough, and I can't control myself well." Facing Yang Qinglian, Xu Jingming seemed to return to his youth, and his speech became much more relaxed and joyful. "A'Lian, you broke through to seventh-order, but you didn't inform me?"

"Sister-in-law notified us over a hundred years ago that you are at a critical moment in your evolutionary path and shouldn't be disturbed," Yang Qingshuo said.

"Oh," Xu Jingming nodded. "Among the evolvers of the same era as me on Blue Star, your achievement is already among the top few. Amazing."

The Wu鉤 Merchant Association is, after all, a regional power with a long history and deep foundation. Even though Xu Jingming is the number one in the Wu鉤 Star Alliance, the Pearwood Group is still far behind the Wu鉤 Merchant Association.

"You haven't found another one after all these years?" Xu Jingming asked.

"I have a girlfriend," Yang Qinglian explained. "I'm not in a hurry to get married. Starry sky life spans thousands of years, so there's no need to rush. And as you know, I already have a son, and countless descendants. I even think it's okay to never get married."

"Are you confident in reaching eighth-order on the evolutionary path?" Xu Jingming asked.

"I'll explore slowly," Yang Qinglian said with a bright smile. "The more I cultivate, the more I realize that the evolutionary path is indeed vast and boundless. As long as I can improve a little every day, I feel very happy. I think it's already a great fortune to be able to live happily for three thousand years."

Xu Jingming also admired his good brother.

Enjoying the process of evolution, spending every day happily. Compared to the process, the result is not that important.

"A'Lian, I envy you," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Envy me? You're joking," Yang Qinglian laughed. "You are the greatest leader of our Blue Star civilization. Now you have reached the limit of Origin Life, and you are the top figure in the entire universe human race."

"I could have also been patient and unhurried in my cultivation," Xu Jingming shook his head and said, "But now I can't."

"Can't now?" Yang Qinglian asked in confusion, "Doesn't a tenth-order Origin Life have a lifespan of one hundred thousand years?"

Xu Jingming shook his head.

The Icy Wine is estimated to be enough for only three thousand years! The Dean and the others also hope that Xu Jingming can maintain his clarity on his own within three thousand years.

They can't always have the Dean and the others help brew the Icy Wine after three thousand years. Three thousand years! Maintain clarity on your own.

Comprehending the power of a third realm high-dimensional life, the "Mind Realm Force", is extremely difficult... there is no inheritance!

For various reasons, I have to choose to "put myself in a life-or-death situation"!

"Brother Xu," Yang Qinglian looked at Xu Jingming. "I know my realm is low and I can't compare to you, but I have a suggestion you can listen to."

"Speak," Xu Jingming's emotions were surprisingly stable.

"I think as long as you make progress every day and enjoy the progress," Yang Qinglian said, "your mind and consciousness will also be happy, which will make evolution more efficient. This is a positive feedback. This is my superficial understanding."

"Positive feedback?"

Xu Jingming nodded.

The path to becoming a high-dimensional life is much more complicated. When the mind approaches a high dimension, it will naturally experience various distortions. Like Senior Brother Jian, he also practiced the dark chapter of the primordial star conjecture in order to elevate his mind. Xu Jingming will have an even more difficult path to cultivate the "Mind Realm Force" than Senior Brother Jian.

The Mind Realm Force is not just about elevating the mind to a higher dimension.

"Make yourself happy," Yang Qinglian said, encouraging his good brother. From Xu Jingming's invisible aura, he could feel the "darkness, coldness, and madness" contained in it. This was completely different from the Xu Jingming he knew back then.

"By the way, I just mailed you a gift," Xu Jingming said. "It should arrive tomorrow."

"What gift?" Yang Qinglian asked curiously.

"A serving of Ice Flower Spiritual Liquid," Xu Jingming said, "A total of 90 drops, each drop can help you for more than three years, which should be enough for you to take for 300 years."

Yang Qinglian was puzzled.

"It is the most suitable cosmic treasure for starry sky life to take," Xu Jingming explained. Ice Flower Spiritual Liquid is relatively precious, and cosmic high-level civilizations and some large forces use it to cultivate geniuses.

Although it is not sold outside, Xu Jingming can still exchange it for merit. There is a limit of one hundred servings.

"Cosmic treasures, I can't accept them," Yang Qinglian immediately said.

"I earn more than a serving of Ice Flower Spiritual Liquid in a day. If it weren't for the exchange limit, I would have given you more," Xu Jingming said.

"You earn more than this cosmic treasure in a day?" Yang Qingshuo nodded and grinned. "Then I will shamelessly accept it."

At this moment, Yang Qinglian was not aware of how terrifying the wealth that "Xu Jingming," the greatest obstacle to the J狱族's plunder, earned in a day was.

In these days, Xu Jingming met with his old friends to chat, learn about everything they had experienced, and help them if he could. Of course, most of them did not need his help. After all, Xu Jingming's friends generally had good relationships with Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing, and had long received help from the Pearwood Group.

"Master Liu Hai," Xu Jingming looked at the last name on the list. This was the one who had the deepest impact on him in the era of Blue Star, so he put him last to invite.

He reached out and gently tapped, inviting Liu Hai to meet.
