"Daughter, what did you say?" A couple looked at their daughter, Duo Duoan Jiuge.

"Fang Jin and I have discussed it. We have five children, which is enough. We don't plan to have any more," Duo Duoan Jiuge said.

"You're being ridiculous! With your control over your bodies, there's no danger in childbirth. Why not have more?" her father said anxiously. "The Xu family's third generation only has Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun! Xu Biyun and Feiyu Jianya only have one son and one daughter, and they both carry the Xu surname. If Xu Biyun, that young lady, doesn't plan to have any more, you should have more children!"

"We already have five," Duo Duoan said.

"Isn't it normal to have a few in the major families of the universe?" her father said. "If the Xu family's fourth generation has 22 people, with two from Xu Biyun and 20 from you and Xu Fangjin, how can Xu Biyun's lineage compete with you?"

Her mother also said, "Daughter, the Supreme Realm values close relatives from the first few generations, and the relationship becomes more distant as generations pass. So, the resources of the first few generations will far exceed those of the future."

"For the sake of our Jiuge family, you need to have more children," her father said.

"I think it's enough."

Duo Duoan Jiuge stood up and said, "I will guide my children to have more, but I don't want to have any more." With that, she directly exited her father's personal space.

"She actually dares to disobey me," her father said angrily.

"Our daughter's temper is getting bigger and bigger," her mother said with a smile. "Well, she's given birth to five children, and the Xu family is very happy. They've already promoted her to the number 11 position in the Pearwood Group. She's used to having great power, and Xu Fangjin dotes on her, so how could she be as obedient as she used to be?"

"Ah," her father nodded. "The Pearwood Group is now ranked in the top two in the Hunter Universe Domain. Its wealth is so vast that it has surpassed the Cloud City Association. Our daughter, as the number 11 figure, wields more power than our entire family combined."

Her mother exclaimed, "The Pearwood Group is indeed very wealthy. It keeps throwing money around, huge amounts of cosmic currency, huge amounts of merit, and is expanding recklessly."

"Our Jiuge family has profited a lot by latching onto some of the benefits," her father also sighed.

The Pearwood Group was too powerful, and his daughter's power was too great. The entire family had to coax Duo Duoan.

There was no way around it. Xu Jingming's own wealth was too astonishing, which naturally led to the Pearwood Group increasing its expansion speed! The Pearwood Group was now richer than the Cloud City Association, but because its wealth originated from Xu Jingming! However, the various resources the Pearwood Group possessed were still inferior to those of the Cloud City Association, so it needed to spend massive amounts of money and merit to obtain resources at a premium.

One major power after another was eager to be acquired by the wealthy Pearwood Group.

Duo Duoan was the number 11 figure in the group, and her husband, Xu Fangjin, was the number 3 figure. Xu Fangjin doted on his wife, so Duo Duoan had a significant influence in the Pearwood Group.

Blue Star.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were sitting in the courtyard, one studying the construction of high-dimensional lifeforms, and the other reviewing the group's massive business operations.

"That little girl Duo Duoan is indeed good," Li Miaomiao said, praising the business operations. "The operations she's in charge of are impeccable. The scale of cooperation between the group and the Jiuge family isn't large, and the premium is not too high."

Large-scale expansion in a short period, such as planetary territories, did require a premium.

"She and Xiao Fangjin have five children, right?" Xu Jingming suddenly said.

"Yes," Li Miaomiao said with a smile. "Our Xu family has more mouths to feed."

"There will be more and more with time, and it will be exaggerated to the point that you won't care about these things anymore," Xu Jingming said with a smile. Suddenly, he sensed a breakthrough in another avatar.

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, and a wisp of transparent flame emerged from the tip of his finger.

The flame was faint, almost transparent, but its power was terrifying to the extreme.

"Pure Lotus Fire," Xu Jingming said, looking at the wisp of flame.

His mind had reached the Lotus of the Heart realm, which qualified him to cultivate the *Red Lotus Fire*, and he also had the endless sin from the high-dimensional weapon, Sin Flower, to assist in his cultivation. Even so, it took him over a hundred years to condense a wisp of Pure Lotus Fire.

"What a terrifying flame. Even I can't withstand its burning," Xu Jingming was secretly shocked. "The Pure Lotus Fire that I just condensed is already so terrifying!"

According to the *Red Lotus Fire* inheritance, it was divided into three realms: Pure Lotus Fire, Black Lotus Fire, and Red Lotus Fire.

Among them, the Pure Lotus Fire could be further divided into the Nine Leaf realm, from the lowest 'One Leaf Pure Lotus' to the highest 'Nine Leaf Pure Lotus'; the Black Lotus Fire could also be divided into the Nine Leaf realm. Breaking through 'Nine Leaf Black Lotus' would directly transform into a Red Lotus, which was also the true ultimate mastery of the Red Lotus Fire, a half-step into the Third Realm.

"This is a One Leaf realm Pure Lotus Fire, and its power has barely reached the 'Nascent Realm High-Dimensional Lifeform' level, but it's still at the bottom," Xu Jingming knew this very well. The inheritance had detailed records.

The One Leaf realm to Nine Leaf realm of the Pure Lotus Fire all fell within the Nascent Realm category.

Therefore, this wisp of Pure Lotus Fire would probably lose to any random Nascent Realm High-Dimensional Lifeform. But the fact that it could reach the threshold of a High-Dimensional Lifeform already represented its terror!

A cosmic legend could possess such a move! This showed the special nature of the power of the Heart Realm and the terrifying nature of the *Red Lotus Fire* inheritance.

Headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute.

Xu Jingming's avatar here had been using the high-dimensional weapon Sin Flower for a long time to cultivate the *Red Lotus Fire*. Just now, he had condensed the Pure Lotus Fire.

"The greatest use of the Pure Lotus Fire is to condense a Pure Lotus Avatar to explore the Heart Realm," Xu Jingming said, looking at the transparent flame floating in front of him.

With a thought, this wisp of faint, transparent flame condensed into another Xu Jingming, an avatar purely composed of Pure Lotus Fire.

"It's time to explore the Heart Realm." Xu Jingming had been waiting for this day ever since he opened up his Heart Realm.

"Go."

Following the connection between himself and the Heart Realm.

The Pure Lotus Avatar instantly traveled to the small world he had opened up in the Heart Realm.

"Whoosh."

This Pure Lotus Avatar seemed to travel from reality to illusion, and finally entered the Heart Realm.

The Heart Realm was a relatively special area within the high-dimensional space. It was almost everywhere in the high-dimensional space, vast and boundless.

But only those who had reached an extremely high level in the Mind lineage were qualified to enter the Heart Realm.

"Small world." The Xu Jingming avatar formed from the Pure Lotus Fire arrived at this small world.

Standing on the vast land, Xu Jingming looked up at the sky. The light from the dark Primordial Star was very faint, making the whole world dim.

"This is the small world he opened up in the Heart Realm, and it's the only territory I have in the vast Heart Realm." Xu Jingming felt that the entire territory was centered on him.

The vast Heart Realm power contained in the territory, everything was under his control.

"According to the *Heart Realm Exploration Guide*, I'm blessed by the power of the entire territory in my own territory! My strength can be guaranteed to increase dozens or even hundreds of times," Xu Jingming thought.

"Heart Realm powerhouses are difficult to deal with because they are good at traveling through the Heart Realm and have many avatars hidden everywhere. Another reason is that their strength can explode a hundredfold within their own Heart Realm territory," Xu Jingming knew this very well.

Excluding Third Realm High-Dimensional Lifeforms, the only ones who could kill a Heart Realm powerhouse under normal circumstances were other Heart Realm powerhouses.

Only those who could travel through the Heart Realm could hope to kill the other party.

Of course, it was only hope.

Those who could enter the Mother River also had strong self-preservation abilities. Ever since the Island Master of Time and Space could enter the Mother River, the foundation of the race was stable, Xu Jingming thought.

"Let's begin exploring the Heart Realm."

Xu Jingming randomly chose a direction to fly, and soon reached the border of the territory. Outside the border was a chaotic void.

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming flew into the chaos.

"This avatar is only composed of a wisp of Pure Lotus Fire and must rely on the Heart Realm territory as a foundation. It can't leave too far," Xu Jingming knew this very well.

In the universe, he could split into many avatars.

But in the Heart Realm, Xu Jingming had not yet successfully constructed a high-dimensional lifeform. His body could not enter the Heart Realm.

In this state, according to the *Heart Realm Exploration Guide*, one generally used the Heart Realm territory as a foundation and manipulated the Heart Realm power to carefully extend and explore in all directions. The farther the exploration distance, the more strenuous it was to manipulate the Heart Realm power.

The exploration range was limited! It had to be centered on the Heart Realm territory!

After constructing a high-dimensional lifeform, the true body could enter the Heart Realm, and the true body could freely split into seven or eight avatars, or even explore separately! Each avatar could exist independently, travel freely, and had no distance limitations.

"Generally, cosmic legends who have mastered the power of the Heart Realm release the power of the Heart Realm to explore their surroundings. I'm using the Pure Lotus Fire condensed from the power of the Heart Realm to explore my surroundings," Xu Jingming's Pure Lotus Avatar observed its surroundings. Even in the chaos, he could sense a range of thousands of miles.

The power of the Heart Realm was too gentle and too weak, making it easy for enemies to grasp and track.

The Pure Lotus Fire, however, was a purely violent flame. When it encountered an enemy, it could explode directly, leaving no trace of aura for the enemy to track.

This was why Xu Jingming had waited until he had condensed the Pure Lotus Fire before exploring.

"According to the *Heart Realm Exploration Guide*, countless generations of powerhouses have opened up territories in the Heart Realm. After they die, their territories are shrouded in chaos," Xu Jingming thought. "My goal is these territories."

As for the complete territories whose masters were still alive, Xu Jingming dared not enter.

The ruins of dead masters, territories shrouded in chaos, were safe.

"Whoosh."

Xu Jingming flew through the chaos of the Heart Realm, sensing in all directions. After flying for about five minutes, Xu Jingming saw a towering mountain in the chaos, which made his eyes light up: "Only by opening up a Heart Realm can one create land, mountains, and rivers in the chaos."

"This mountain must have been the territory of a Heart Realm powerhouse a long time ago."

Xu Jingming carefully headed towards the mountain to explore it. Heart Realm powerhouses almost all grew stronger by exploring the遗迹 ruins of their predecessors.
