Chapter 39 The Hunter Universe Domain

The eight peerless geniuses of the Hunter Universe Domain, who cultivated the *Yuanchu Star Conjecture*, primarily discussed topics related to evolution at their gatherings.

"Senior Brother Gu Shan, is it really that difficult to improve mental strength?" Kabuya asked. "I'm 155 years old, and my mental strength index is already over five thousand."

"In the early stages of cultivation, your mind has various weaknesses that allow for rapid progress," Gu Shan said with a smile. "But the further you go, the more complete your mind becomes, and the more difficult it will be to improve. When I was five hundred years old, my mental strength index was already 9123, and this year it's only 9985. It's only improved by so little in five hundred years."

"It is indeed getting slower and slower," Senior Sister Moyu also nodded. "After I broke through 9000, my progress has also slowed down more and more."

"Big Brother Gu Shan," Chi Tong asked, "Although it's said that you can only break through when your mental index reaches 10,000, your mental strength index is 9985, just a little bit short. Shouldn't it be a big problem?"

"I've tried to break through in the virtual world," Gu Shan explained. "Although I can barely leverage the cosmic source power, when I mobilize the cosmic source power to transform the body into source power... I can't perfectly control it, which will cause the body to completely collapse and be annihilated."

Xu Jingming listened.

Since attempts to break through in the virtual world had failed, he naturally wouldn't dare to try in reality.

"In the virtual world, you have to try at least ten times and succeed perfectly each time before you can break through in reality," Senior Sister Monina said solemnly. "Once you fail in reality, it's completely over."

They were all peerless geniuses who had hidden their talents for many years. It would be a tragedy if they failed and died during the 'Source Life' breakthrough due to 'carelessness'.

"Junior Brother Wu Ming."

Kabuya spoke.

"Among the eight of us, you rank seventh in age, and Wu Ming ranks eighth. Why are you still calling him 'Junior Brother Wu Ming'?" Chi Tong joked.

"Everyone used to call me Junior Sister, so what's wrong with me calling him Junior Brother? He is indeed younger than me." Kabuya looked at Xu Jingming. "You don't mind, do you, Junior Brother?"

"I don't mind. All of you seniors are older than me," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

Kabuya said, "Little Junior Brother, most of the time, the other seven of us are in the 'Subduing Demons World'. This is a virtual world that is most helpful for mental strength. You should come to the Subduing Demons World as soon as possible. I can recommend you to enter the Subduing Demons Sect where I am."

"Indeed, you have to go in sooner rather than later." Senior Brother Chengyu, who looked ordinary, nodded. "Mental strength is the biggest threshold for us to become Tier 9 Source Lifeforms. I can also recommend Junior Brother to enter the sect where I am."

"I've been in the Subduing Demons World for hundreds of years and established a sect. I can be considered the founding patriarch," Senior Brother Gu Shan said. "I can directly summon you in."

"I've built twelve sects," Senior Sister Moyu said with a smile. "I can also summon you in, Junior Brother. After you come in, you definitely won't be mistreated."

Xu Jingming was stunned. These seniors had been in the Subduing Demons World for too long, especially the eldest senior brother and senior sister, their achievements were very high, and they were close to becoming Tier 9 Source Lifeforms.

"I suffered a setback in the Subduing Demons World," Senior Brother Chi Tong said. "I have to recuperate for at least five years! If Junior Brother Wu Ming, you want to go in... tell me before you go in. I have something I need your help with."

"You need my help?" Xu Jingming asked.

"It's a small matter."

Senior Brother Chi Tong said, "When you plan to go in, I'll talk to you privately."

"Alright," Xu Jingming nodded. "I need to deal with some other matters, which may delay things a bit, but I will definitely go to the Subduing Demons World within half a year."

"We'll talk then," Chi Tong raised his glass.

Xu Jingming also raised his glass.

He wasn't sure if he would stay in the Subduing Demons World for a long time in the future. He would go and try it out first and see how effective the Subduing Demons World was in improving 'mental strength'! If the effect was average, he could try other methods.

"The Subduing Demons World is vast and boundless. It may take a lifetime to get from one place to another. Only by creating an account can you choose a 'place of birth'," Senior Sister Monina said with a smile. "Since Chi Tong has a request for you, you have to fleece him hard. Among the few of us, he is the richest!"

Chi Tong glared.

Whether or not he hid his identity as a 'peripheral member of the Yuanchu Research Institute' wasn't important! He was just following the crowd, after all, the other peripheral members were hiding their identities. Naturally, he also hid his identity. But when it came to daily expenses, he was still used to spending money lavishly.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother," Chi Tong looked at Xu Jingming. "I will never mistreat you for helping me."

"You're too kind, Senior Brother." Xu Jingming was also a little curious about what Senior Brother Chi Tong needed help with, but Senior Brother Chi Tong clearly didn't want to say it publicly.

***

Blue Star.

Li Miaomiao was coaxing her daughter to take a nap.

"Huhu..." Her chubby daughter was already sleeping soundly. Only then did Li Miaomiao gently get up and walk out of the room. She walked alone in the house and soon arrived in front of the virtual chamber.

The door of the virtual chamber was still closed.

"Jingming came out once on our daughter's birthday, and he hasn't logged off since," Li Miaomiao said silently. "It's been a few months. According to what we agreed, the exploration period of the mysterious place is 330 days, and today is the last day. Jingming should log off today."

Li Miaomiao thought to herself.

She didn't know that Xu Jingming had been recruited by the Yuanchu Research Institute and was focused on cultivating after receiving the inheritance for the first time. After leaving the cultivation room, he went to a gathering with his seven senior brothers and sisters. Li Miaomiao walked to the living room, sat alone on the sofa, and opened the light screen, watching many virtual live broadcast rooms on Blue Star discussing 'Xu Jingming'. As the undisputed number one expert on Blue Star, many live broadcast rooms would often talk about 'Xu Jingming'.

For example, they would take some geniuses from the current Blue Star competitions and compare them with Xu Jingming. They would compare their talent, their achievements as teenagers, and their marksmanship.

"These people are just蹭 (cèng, freeloading)!" Li Miaomiao watched, annoyed. "They are far behind Jingming."

After watching one video after another about Xu Jingming's live broadcast room, Li Miaomiao finally closed the light screen.

"Since Jingming became a cosmic lifeform, the time he spends in the virtual chamber has become longer and longer. Now he only logs off once every few months. Maybe he will only log off once every few years in the future?" Li Miaomiao said silently. "I can feel that he is under great pressure and doesn't dare to relax for a moment. He is trying his best to seize the opportunity in the mysterious place."

"I also want to help him, but what I can do is to take care of our daughter and not let him worry about things at home. I can't help him with anything else," Li Miaomiao thought.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound from upstairs. Li Miaomiao's eyes lit up, and she stood up with a whoosh. She took a few steps to the upstairs and came to the virtual chamber. The door of the virtual chamber was indeed open, and Xu Jingming walked out.

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao was very happy.

"Miaomiao." Xu Jingming walked out and hugged his wife.

"How was the exploration in the mysterious place?" Li Miaomiao said softly.

"My performance was average," Xu Jingming hugged his wife. The performance in the mysterious place could not be told to anyone, including close relatives! Could Blue Star's security monitoring system and the Black Moon civilization's garrison monitoring system in the solar system monitor his every word and action? Xu Jingming didn't know. Therefore, he had to be careful. Any behavior with a fluke mentality could bring disaster.

"Miaomiao," Xu Jingming could only say silently in his heart, "Although I can't tell you in person, I am very satisfied with my performance this time! I have successfully joined the Yuanchu Research Institute. I believe that in the near future, I will become a Source Lifeform! The Blue Star civilization... will also give birth to its own Source Lifeform."

...

Xu Jingming rarely gave himself a day off. He accompanied his parents and elders, his wife and daughter, of course, also because the Yuanchu Research Institute's resources were about to be delivered, and he needed to receive them in person.

Xu Jingming sat in the pavilion, smiling and looking at Li Miaomiao and his daughter playing ball in the distance. Although his daughter was young, her physique was comparable to that of ten-year-old children before the popularization of the evolutionary method.

"Becoming a peripheral member of the Yuanchu Research Institute has given me a lot more authority, so I can find a lot of information about the Black Moon civilization," Xu Jingming found a lot of information in the Research Institute's database, much of which was difficult for outsiders to know, "The Black Moon civilization has two Tier 9 Source Lifeforms and 925 Tier 8 cosmic lifeforms. This is just in terms of evolutionaries. The two Tier 9 Source Lifeforms... are also members of the seventeen top cosmic forces."

In fact, every Source Lifeform would join the seventeen top forces.

"Technology is what the Black Moon civilization is best at. The entire civilization has a strong academic atmosphere. There are currently as many as 12 people with academic qualifications exceeding level 90."

"The Black Moon civilization has 109 legions, and each legion is configured at the level of a mid-level cosmic civilization. This is just a regular army. If it enters wartime, it can continue to expand on a large scale!"

Xu Jingming sighed secretly, "In the past two million years, the Black Moon civilization has produced a total of one scholar with an academic qualification exceeding level 100 and 327 Tier 9 Source Lifeforms. The accumulation of generations of outstanding figures and billions of cosmic citizens has led to the strength of the Black Moon civilization today."

"In a head-on confrontation, even a Tier 9 Source Lifeform individual can't fight against the Black Moon civilization," Xu Jingming understood this.

Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, smiling and looking at Xu Jingming. Xu Jingming was also a little surprised. With his strength, could someone appear in front of him out of thin air?

Traveling through space?

"Xu Jingming." The handsome young man smiled and looked at Xu Jingming, "I was ordered to send you the Yuanchu Research Institute's resources. Don't worry, no one on Blue Star can spy on you and me. They can only spy on the fake scene."

"I don't know what to call you, Senior Brother?" Xu Jingming got up to greet him.

"You can call me Mr. Luo." The handsome young man stretched out his hand, and a drop of red liquid flew out and flew towards Xu Jingming. "This is the Yuanchu Battle Armor version 2.0 developed by the Dean, and it is also the most important resource this time."

Xu Jingming reached out to catch it, and the red liquid landed in his palm, but it silently merged into his skin.

"The Yuanchu Battle Armor can be integrated into the skin and has the effect of camouflage," the handsome young man said. "Change height and appearance, disguise as other battle armors, and even disguise life aura."

"Disguise life aura?" Xu Jingming asked in confusion.

"For example, if you become a Tier 8 cosmic lifeform, you can still disguise yourself as a Tier 7," the handsome young man said. "You can also use it to directly connect to the virtual world network with your consciousness. At the same time, it also has the functions of traveling through space, protecting the body, etc., and it also has super 'intelligence'. It can take over the entire intelligent system of your Blue Star within 0.001 seconds."

Xu Jingming was a little shocked.

So exaggerated?

"You can slowly explore its functions."

Later, our Yuanchu Research Institute will take back the Yuanchu Battle Armor.

Xu Jingming nodded.

"This is the second resource, the Yuanchu A2-level cosmic spaceship." The handsome young man waved his hand, and a streamlined spaceship appeared out of thin air and slowly landed at Xu Jingming's original x3-level spaceship, and the x3-level cosmic spaceship disappeared without a trace.

"Your own x3-level cosmic spaceship is stored in the warehouse of the Yuanchu A2-level cosmic spaceship." "This Yuanchu spaceship is mainly for escape. It is also good at camouflage. Now it is disguised as your previous x3-level cosmic spaceship." The handsome young man handed a bottle of liquid glowing with ice-blue light to Xu Jingming. "This is the third resource, the cosmic wonder 'Ice Flower Spirit Liquid', a total of 30 drops. You can only take one drop every 3.3 years."

"Understood." Xu Jingming also took it.

"The resource handover is complete. My mission is complete. Goodbye!" The handsome young man smiled and then disappeared out of thin air.

Xu Jingming looked at this scene.

In the courtyard, Xu Jingming was drinking tea, which was also brewed by his wife Li Miaomiao. While drinking tea, he was also studying the various functions of the Yuanchu Battle Armor.

"Master, the intelligence of the Blue Star security system and the Black Moon civilization's cosmic mothership have all been monitored and can be taken over at any time." The voice of the Yuanchu Battle Armor's intelligence sounded in Xu Jingming's mind, "Because the master's residence is heavily guarded, the Blue Star security system and the Black Moon civilization can only monitor the courtyard scene and cannot monitor the indoor scene."

Xu Jingming nodded.

After all, this residence was built by the Blue Star civilization at a great cost to protect their privacy as much as possible. "The Black Moon civilization's cosmic mothership intelligence can monitor my courtyard at any time?" Xu Jingming asked.

"97.3% of the entire Blue Star area is under the surveillance of the Black Moon civilization," the Yuanchu Battle Armor's intelligence said. "Unless we see the 'safe scene' we set, we will not reveal any secrets of the master's family."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly: "Is there any force that can control you and take you over?"

"Impossible."

The Yuanchu Battle Armor's intelligence responded, "Including the alien races in the universe, they can destroy me, but they cannot control me. Because I am always in contact with the Yuanchu Research Institute. Once I am damaged, the Yuanchu Research Institute will know immediately."

Xu Jingming understood.

"Master, rest assured, the entire solar system is now under my control," the Yuanchu Battle Armor's intelligence responded. "No foreign force can escape my detection."

Xu Jingming believed in the technology of the Yuanchu Research Institute. "This Yuanchu Battle Armor has an outrageous level of technology." Xu Jingming put down his teacup and stretched out his right hand, "As long as I want, this slap can destroy the Black Moon civilization's garrison in the solar system!" The entire solar system was no longer a secret to Xu Jingming.

The Black Moon civilization's garrison could also be destroyed with a wave of his hand. "Is this the power of an individual that surpasses a low-level civilization?" Xu Jingming was a little shocked. This was just the destructive power of the basic level of a Tier 9 Source Lifeform.

"The more this is the case, the more you need to know how to control yourself." Xu Jingming picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea, "If I am too unscrupulous and expose myself, attracting alien races in the universe! Even the Yuanchu Battle Armor can't protect me."

The more powerful the destructive power he possessed, the more self-control he needed. Obviously, after the test of the seven planets in the mysterious place, Xu Jingming still had such self-control.

After drinking the tea, Xu Jingming leisurely walked back into the house.

In the cultivation room at his residence.

"The cosmic wonder 'Ice Flower Spirit Liquid', you can only take one drop every 3 years or so." Xu Jingming sat cross-legged, looking at the bottle sealed with a membrane, which wrapped one drop of liquid inside.

This drop of Ice Flower Spirit Liquid glowed with an ice-blue light. Xu Jingming just watched with his naked eyes, and every cell in his body was extremely eager, eager to absorb this drop of Ice Flower Spirit Liquid. This was the instinct of life.

"Come on." Xu Jingming opened his mouth, and a wisp of cosmic energy wrapped the drop of Ice Flower Spirit Liquid and flew into Xu Jingming's mouth.

The Ice Flower Spirit Liquid completely dissolved upon entering his mouth, merging into Xu Jingming's body. Invisible energy nourished every cell in his body, including his bones, muscles, and brain.

Xu Jingming immediately felt the strange changes in his whole body.
