Chapter 1 Daughter

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

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

"You're confused! With your control over your bodies, there's no danger in having children. Why not have more?" The father said anxiously, "The Xu family's third generation only has Xu Fang Jin and Xu Bi Yun! Xu Bi Yun and Feiyu Jianya only have one son and one daughter, both surnamed Xu. That young lady, Xu Bi Yun, doesn't plan to have more, so you should have more!"

"We already have five," said Duoduoan.

"Isn't it normal to have a dozen children in the various families of the universe?" The father said, "If the Xu family's fourth generation has twenty-two people, with two being Xu Bi Yun's children and twenty being yours and Xu Fang Jin's, how can Xu Bi Yun's lineage compete with yours?"

The mother also said, "Daughter, the Supreme Realm values close relatives of the first few generations more, and the relationship becomes more distant as you go further down the line. Therefore, the resources of the first few generations will far exceed those of the future."

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

"I think it's enough."

Duoduoan 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," the father said, annoyed.

"Our daughter's temper is getting bigger and bigger," the mother said with a smile. "Well, she's given birth to five children. The Xu family is very happy and has promoted her to the 11th most important figure in the Li Mu Group. She's used to having great power, and Xu Fang Jin dotes on her, so how can she be as obedient as she used to be?"

"Alas," the father nodded. "The Li Mu Group is now among the top two in the Hunter Cosmic Sector. Its wealth is so vast that it has surpassed the Yuncheng Association. Our daughter, as the 11th most important figure, has more power than our entire family combined."

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

"Our Jiuge family has made a fortune just by蹭 (ceng - freeloading) some benefits," the father also sighed.

The Li Mu Group was too powerful, and their daughter had too much power, so the entire family had to appease Duoduoan.

There was no other way. Xu Jingming's own wealth was too astonishing, which naturally led to the Li Mu Group increasing its rate of expansion! Currently, the Li Mu Group was wealthier than the Yuncheng Association, but because its wealth originated from Xu Jingming! However, the Li Mu Group's various resources were still inferior to those of the Yuncheng Association, so it needed to invest massive amounts of money and merits to overpay for resources.

Many large forces were eager for the wealthy Li Mu Group to acquire them.

Duoduoan was the group's 11th most important figure, and her husband, Xu Fang Jin, was the 3rd most important figure. Xu Fang Jin doted on his wife, so Duoduoan had a significant influence in the Li Mu Group.

Earth.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao, husband and wife, were sitting in the courtyard. One was studying the construction of high-dimensional lifeforms, and the other was reviewing a large amount of the group's business.

"Duoduoan, that little girl, is indeed not bad," Li Miaomiao said, praising the business. "There's nothing to criticize about the businesses she's in charge of. The scale of cooperation between the group and the Jiuge family is not large, and the premium amount is not too high."

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

"She and Xiao Fang Jin, 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 as time goes on, and it will be exaggerated to the point where you won't care about these things anymore," Xu Jingming said with a smile. Suddenly, he sensed a breakthrough in another incarnation.

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

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

"Pure Lotus Fire." Xu Jingming looked at the wisp of flame.

His mind had reached the Lotus of the Heart Realm, and he was already qualified to cultivate the *Honglian Zhi Huo* (Red Lotus Fire). Furthermore, he had the endless sin of the high-dimensional weapon 'Flower of Sin' to assist his cultivation. Even so, it took him more than 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, which was just condensed, is so terrifying!"

According to the *Honglian Zhi Huo* inheritance, it is divided into three realms: Pure Lotus Fire, Black Lotus Fire, and Red Lotus Fire.

The Pure Lotus Fire can be further divided into the Nine Leaves Realm, from the lowest 'One-Leaf Pure Lotus' to the highest 'Nine-Leaf Pure Lotus'; the Black Lotus Fire can also be divided into the Nine Leaves Realm. Breaking through the 'Nine-Leaf Black Lotus' will directly transform into a Red Lotus, which is also the true ultimate mastery of the Red Lotus Fire, a half-step third realm level.

"This is a One-Leaf Realm Pure Lotus Fire. In terms of power, it has barely reached the 'Nascent Realm High-Dimensional Lifeform' level, but it belongs to the bottom level," Xu Jingming knew this very well. The inheritance had detailed records.

The One-Leaf Realm to Nine-Leaf Realm of the Pure Lotus Fire are all considered within the Nascent Realm category.

Therefore, this little Pure Lotus Fire would probably not be able to defeat any nascent high-dimensional lifeform. But the power to reach the threshold of a high-dimensional lifeform already represented its terror!

A Cosmic Legend could possess such a move! It could be seen how special the Power of the Heart Realm was, and how terrifying the *Honglian Zhi Huo* inheritance was.

Headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute.

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

"The greatest use of the Pure Lotus Fire is to condense the Pure Lotus Incarnation, which is used to explore the Heart Realm," Xu Jingming looked at the floating transparent flame in front of him.

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

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

"Go."

Following the connection between himself and the Heart Realm.

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

"Phew."

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

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

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

"Small world." The Xu Jingming incarnation formed by the Pure Lotus Fire came to this small world.

Standing on the vast land, Xu Jingming looked up at the sky. That round, dark Primordial Star, cast a very faint light, making the whole world dim.

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

The vast power of the Heart Realm contained in the territory was all under his command.

"According to the introduction in the *Heart Realm Exploration Guide*, in one's own territory, one receives the blessing of the entire territory's power! One's strength can be guaranteed to increase dozens or even hundreds of times!" Xu Jingming thought.

"Heart Realm powerhouses are difficult to deal with. On the one hand, they are good at walking in the Heart Realm and have many incarnations, hidden everywhere. On the other hand, their strength may skyrocket a hundredfold in their own Heart Realm territory." Xu Jingming was very clear about this.

Excluding third realm high-dimensional lifeforms, under normal circumstances, only another Heart Realm powerhouse can kill a Heart Realm powerhouse.

Only when they can walk in the Heart Realm can they hope to kill each other.

Of course, it's only a hope.

There are also those who can enter the Mother River, whose ability to protect their lives is also very strong. Since the Lord of Time and Space Island was able to enter the Mother River, the foundation of the race has been stable. Xu Jingming thought.

"Let's start exploring the Heart Realm."

Xu Jingming randomly chose a direction and flew. He quickly reached the boundary of the territory. Beyond the boundary was a chaotic void.

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming flew into the chaos.

"This incarnation is only composed of a wisp of Pure Lotus Fire. It must rely on the Heart Realm territory and cannot leave too far." Xu Jingming was very clear about this.

When he was in the universe, he could split into many incarnations.

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

In this state, according to the *Heart Realm Exploration Guide*, one generally relies on the Heart Realm territory and carefully extends the Power of the Heart Realm in all directions to explore. The farther the exploration distance, the more difficult it is to control the Power of the Heart Realm.

The range of exploration is limited! It must be centered on the Heart Realm territory!

After constructing a high-dimensional lifeform, the true body can enter the Heart Realm, and the true body can freely divide into seven or eight incarnations, or they can all be scattered to explore! Each incarnation can exist independently, can roam freely, and has no distance restrictions.

"Generally, Cosmic Legends who have mastered the Power of the Heart Realm release the Power of the Heart Realm to explore the surroundings. But I condense the Power of the Heart Realm into the Pure Lotus Fire and let the Pure Lotus Fire explore the surroundings." This Pure Lotus incarnation of Xu Jingming observed the surroundings. Even in the chaos, he could sense a range of thousands of miles.

The Power of the Heart Realm is too gentle and too weak, and it is easy for enemies to grasp and track it.

The Pure Lotus Fire is a pure and violent flame. When it encounters an enemy, it can directly explode, leaving no trace for the enemy and making it difficult to track.

This is also the reason why Xu Jingming 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 complete territories where the owners are still alive, Xu Jingming would not dare to enter.

Territorial ruins shrouded in chaos, where the owners have died, are safe.

"Whoosh."

Xu Jingming flew in the chaos of the Heart Realm, sensing 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 the Heart Realm can land, mountains, rivers, and any creations be formed in the chaos."

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

Xu Jingming cautiously went to the mountain and explored it. Heart Realm powerhouses almost all gradually become stronger by exploring the relics of their predecessors.
