Gu Jinshi's gaze seemed to travel through time and space as he looked at Xu Jingming, smiling slightly. "The Heart Realm lineage is divided into 152 branches. First, you must understand what the Heart Realm lineage pursues."

Xu Jingming pondered. What did they pursue? The Third Realm?

"The Heart Realm lineage pursues..." Gu Jinshi smiled. "The realization of one's desires! What you think in your heart can be transformed into reality!"

"For example, you want to create a real universe. For example, you want to forcibly elevate a nascent high-dimensional life to the 'half-step Third Realm'... For example, you want all the deceased high-dimensional lives to be resurrected."

"Past, present, future." "Different timelines." "Different possibilities."

"In your heart, everything is crystal clear. Whichever possibility you are willing to lock onto, that is the possibility." Gu Jinshi said. Xu Jingming's expression changed slightly.

"Of course, the so-called 'realization of desires' also has limitations. For example, I want another Third Realm to die! This is obviously impossible because the other party has also locked onto their future," Gu Jinshi said. "What the predecessors of the Heart Realm lineage pursued was the theoretical limit—perfect realization of desires!"

"Perfect realization of desires means that if you want a Third Realm to die, the Third Realm cannot stop it."

"If you want a low-dimensional life to become a Third Realm in one step, that can also be turned into reality." "This is the ultimate goal of the Heart Realm lineage."

"Perfect… realization of desires!"

Gu Jinshi looked at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming was shocked. The ultimate goal of the Heart Realm lineage was perfect realization of desires?

"In fact, it is not only the Heart Realm lineage, but also the Mother River lineage, the Primordial Star lineage, the Abyss lineage… Those high-dimensional lives who have reached the 'Third Realm' are also pursuing the theoretical ultimate," Gu Jinshi said. "This is also the cause of their death."

"Cause of death?" Xu Jingming understood.

"They don't want to die, so they won't die! But if they want to pursue the ultimate, they must 'die and be reborn'." Gu Jinshi smiled. "I only learned these secrets when I was fortunate enough to be guided by a Third Realm."

"The Third Realm exists, with infinite lifespan! They possess incredible abilities! No one can even kill them… Tell me, what would a Third Realm do?" Gu Jinshi looked at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming listened.

"Third Realm existences have different personalities."

"Some pursue entertainment and play, of course, their entertainment and play… may be a disaster for many lives."

"There are also those who pity the weak and deliberately rule over large areas. Within their rule, their words are law, and they set the rules of operation. For example, ordering the stripping of 'hatred' emotions. Within their territory, all creatures below the Third Realm will lose the emotion of 'hatred'," Gu Jinshi said with a smile. "Third Realm great existences who are willing to protect and pity the weak are very rare, and their territory is also very interesting."

Words are law, stripping emotions?

Xu Jingming was secretly amazed.

"There are also Third Realm existences who like destruction and devastation, which is a bit scary. Someone who will never die… and likes to destroy is someone you don't want to encounter," Gu Jinshi shook his head. "Fortunately, there are very, very few Third Realm existences, and the high-dimensional space is infinitely vast, with different levels and different timelines. It is not easy for a weak high-dimensional life to encounter a Third Realm even once in their lifetime." Xu Jingming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, fortunately, it's not easy to encounter one.

Otherwise, a Third Realm of the 'destruction and devastation' type would be too despairing for the weak.

"There are also those who like to teach younger generations," Gu Jinshi said. "They think there are too few Third Realm existences, so they teach countless high-dimensional lives and spread their methods of evolution."

"I have lived for 150 Abyss Epochs, and it is easy to travel within the Heart Realm. I know many friends who are eager to find a 'Third Realm existence' who likes to teach younger generations. Fortunately, I have finally found two Third Realm existences in my life who like to teach younger generations."

Xu Jingming was a little admired.

Living long, coupled with the convenience of Heart Realm communication, finally allowed him to find two Third Realm existences willing to guide him.

"One of these two Third Realm existences is Yu Huo Jun of our Heart Realm lineage."

"Yu Huo Jun has twenty-eight disciples, but countless unregistered disciples. I am an unregistered disciple ranked 23993830213th," Gu Jinshi said. "Anyone who can reach Yu Huo Jun's Heart Realm territory and listen to lectures within his territory can be counted as an unregistered disciple. Because I reached the half-step Third Realm, I am eager to receive Yu Huo Jun's personal guidance."

"I have always wanted to call him teacher, but we unregistered disciples are not qualified," Gu Jinshi sighed. "When I died, Yu Huo Jun was still alive. Perhaps in your era, Yu Huo Jun is still alive."

Xu Jingming was shocked.

A Third Realm existence who is still alive?

"The other Third Realm existence is the Abyss Master," Gu Jinshi said. "The Abyss Master?" Xu Jingming was secretly startled.

In the long history of high-dimensional space, the Primordial Star lineage and the Abyss lineage are two very large lineages.

"There are several Third Realm existences in the Abyss lineage," Gu Jinshi said, "but only he is called the Abyss Master, because the Third Realm existences within the Abyss have had confrontations, and the Abyss Master is the most powerful one within the Abyss."

"The strongest Third Realm existence within the Abyss," Gu Jinshi said. "Before he moved towards the ultimate, he welcomed all comers and publicly lectured on the path of evolution." "After hearing the news, I worked hard to travel and finally arrived, eager to listen to the lecture."

Gu Jinshi said, "The Abyss Master took the initiative to move towards death in front of countless juniors like us."

"He said that to pursue the ultimate, one must 'die and be reborn'," Gu Jinshi sighed. "On that day, the light that the Abyss Master erupted before his death was comparable to the Primordial Star. After that, he completely disappeared."

Xu Jingming listened blankly.

The most powerful Third Realm existence in the high-dimensional space 'Abyss' had died?

"All the schools I have learned have been transformed because I received guidance from the two Third Realm existences," Gu Jinshi said. "Let's first talk about the schools I have studied more superficially." "First, the 'causal kill' type of Heart Realm weapon."

Gu Jinshi explained one by one.

Xu Jingming's eyes were opened.

Heart Realm weapons alone accounted for 108 schools: the 'causal kill' type, the 'sever future' type, the 'erosion' type, the 'bi xie' type, the 'book and sword' type…

Each type required a lot of effort. Gu Jinshi mostly dabbled in them and, after determining that his talent in that area was not high enough, would not spend too much effort.

The Creator category was a large category. This category involved creating 'high-dimensional life'. Like the dean, his refining of the Black Sky Secretary was a method of creating high-dimensional life. The mainstream Creator category in the Heart Realm, however, directly created 'Heart Realm creatures' with the power of the Heart Realm. This large category was divided into 73 schools: the 'clone' type, the 'messenger' type, the 'guardian beast' type, the 'symbiotic beast' type… The Heart Realm experts pushed creativity to the extreme.

There was no need to arrange a clone at all. Directly dispatching the created 'Heart Realm creature' could solve many problems.

"Finally, the three major schools are also my most proficient, reaching the half-step Third Realm."

"One is the 'Heart Owl' school. Owls are flying exotic beasts in high-dimensional space, fierce and huge. This is the school I have cultivated for the longest time. I used my own ability to push the Heart Owl school to the half-step Third Realm. After obtaining guidance from Yu Huo Jun and the Abyss Master, I broke through twice in a row!" Gu Jinshi had unwillingness in his eyes. "Reaching the half-step Third Realm and breaking through twice, I thought I would definitely become a Third Realm… But the closer I got, the more I felt the distance was far away."

"But the Heart Owl school is the strongest of my three most proficient schools! Once my Heart Owl appears, few half-step Third Realm existences can resist it; they can only escape." Gu Jinshi also had confidence in his eyes.

"Second is the 'Heart Cauldron' school. The heart transforms into a cauldron, complete and unbreakable. With this school, in a mental confrontation, I may not win, but I will not lose either." Gu Jinshi was very confident.

"The third is the 'Heart Sword Art' in the Heart Realm weapon, which is the latest one I comprehended. The Heart Sword Art has broad prospects and terrifying power, but it is very difficult to get started. I studied many schools and received guidance from the Third Realm… Until one moment, I suddenly realized that many insights of Heart Realm weapons merged into one, and I comprehended this 'Heart Sword Art'. As soon as I comprehended it, it was already the half-step Third Realm, but until my death, I did not make any further progress."

Gu Jinshi sighed.

"Among the three major schools, the Heart Cauldron school is the strongest for self-preservation. In terms of combat power, the Heart Owl school is invincible. In terms of potential and difficulty, the Heart Sword Art is the most difficult."

"I have hidden the inheritance of each of the 152 schools within my territory."

"This is the detailed location of the hiding place. Each place has a test."

"If you pass the test, you can get the inheritance. After all… the inheritance is limited, and the capable and the destined will get it." Gu Jinshi looked at Xu Jingming. "I don't ask for anything else. There is only one thing: when you become a Third Realm… give me a chance to come back to life."

After saying that, Gu Jinshi closed his eyes.

The entire illusion began to collapse.

"Three major schools?"

Xu Jingming immediately followed the hidden map left by Gu Jinshi to search. The ruins of this senior's territory were too vast. Without a map, it would be really difficult to find.

"Empty?" Xu Jingming looked at the alien beast carving in front of him. The alien beast's mouth was wide open and undefended, but it was empty inside. "Empty?"

Xu Jingming came to the depths of a canyon again, looking at the trunk of an ancient tree, where he could not find any inheritance either.

One place after another.

Xu Jingming went from being expectant at the beginning to being numb later.

"152 places are all empty! Not a single inheritance is left." Xu Jingming stood blankly in the ruins of the territory. He admitted that Gu Jinshi's detailed explanation greatly broadened his horizons and was helpful for the future.

But he was more eager for the three 'half-step Third Realm inheritances'. Unfortunately, they were gone.

"That's right. When the first comer discovers it, it won't be long before he tells his friends or even sells the information," Xu Jingming shook his head. "One spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred! It won't be long before all the inheritances in the ruins of the territory are taken away."

Although the experts of the Heart Realm lineage can explore a large number of ruins and listen to the explanations of many seniors, complete inheritances… are hard to come by!
