Chapter 1 The Return of the Dean

"The Dean is back, hurry and follow me." Secretary-General Heitian swept across the sky with Xu Jingming.

This planet wasn't large. The two transformed into streaks of light, flying over thousands of miles to arrive before a garden courtyard. A thin, short-haired man was sitting on a chair, appreciating the colorful flowers.

"Dean," Secretary-General Heitian greeted. "The person has arrived."

Xu Jingming also observed the person before him.

In the past, when he met the Dean, he only saw the split-consciousness carriers, which exuded a terrifying and transcendent aura. But this time, he was seeing the true body... Xu Jingming only felt that the Dean's true body was ordinary, without any external aura.

"Completely restrained all aura?" Xu Jingming guessed.

"Heitian, you can go back now," the Dean said.

"Yes." Secretary-General Heitian immediately transformed into nothingness and disappeared.

The Dean observed Xu Jingming. In his vision, he could see Xu Jingming's growth experience over the past thousand years, and couldn't help but praise, "To be able to maintain your original heart despite being contaminated by the power of the Lord of the Void Abyss at a high-dimensional level is very good."

"Actually, I've already lost control," Xu Jingming said.

"You sensed that you were about to lose control and requested to be imprisoned," the Dean shook his head. "This is far from being out of control."

In the higher-dimensional space, the Dean had seen truly out-of-control high-dimensional life forms. Compared to them, Xu Jingming's self-control was already very strong.

"To be able to master the power of the Mind Realm in such a short period of time," the Dean praised, "The current you, although weak and immature, has unlimited potential in the future."

Xu Jingming listened attentively.

He was also clear that although he seemed powerful among low-dimensional life forms, he wasn't even a "high-dimensional life form"! In the eyes of the Dean and the others, he was indeed too immature.

"You spent 1,800 years mastering the power of the Mind Realm," the Dean said. "According to experience, it generally takes five to six times that amount of time to construct a high-dimensional life form."

"Five to six times the time? About ten thousand years?" Xu Jingming thought.

Xu Jingming had mastered the power of the Mind Realm too quickly! Based on this, various external forces अनुमानित that even if it took ten or twenty times the amount of time to construct a high-dimensional life form, it would only be twenty to thirty thousand years! This was also why the outside world believed that Xu Jingming had almost a 100% chance of becoming a high-dimensional life form.

Those who had become cosmic legends and were already seventy to eighty thousand years old naturally had little hope of becoming high-dimensional life forms.

"Constructing a high-dimensional life form cannot be rushed," the Dean said. "You must have the patience to figure it out step by step."

As the Dean spoke, he flipped his hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

"This scroll contains all of the human race's known methods of 'constructing high-dimensional life forms.' Take a look at it first and memorize everything," the Dean said. The scroll then flew to Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming looked at the scroll, which slowly unfolded before him, reaching a length of nineteen meters when fully opened.

"Hmm?"

"There are actually 302 ways to construct a high-dimensional life form?" Xu Jingming looked, memorizing a large amount of high-dimensional information.

There were various methods of constructing high-dimensional life forms. Some methods were even 99.9% similar, with only slight changes.

It took Xu Jingming more than an hour to memorize everything.

With a thought, Xu Jingming closed the scroll again.

"Finished reading?" The Dean waved his hand and retrieved the scroll. "These 302 methods of constructing high-dimensional life forms include my methods, the Time-Space Island Lord's, and the Eternal Tower Master's, as well as the methods of some deceased human high-dimensional life forms when they broke through, and the information we collected in the high-dimensional space."

The Dean looked at Xu Jingming. "You should have noticed that some high-dimensional life forms are very similar, with only slight changes."

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded.

"Every high-dimensional life form constructs a 'high-dimensional life form' that is different," the Dean said. "Different thoughts and different cognitive perceptions determine that the construction of the high-dimensional life form is different."

"You have to find a method of constructing a high-dimensional life form that perfectly suits you," the Dean looked at Xu Jingming. "These 302 types can be used as a reference."

"I understand." Xu Jingming was very excited at the moment.

After looking at 302 types of construction methods, he immediately had ideas for his own high-dimensional life form.

"Among these 302 types, two rely on the power of the Mind Realm to become high-dimensional life forms," the Dean said. "We only collected these in recent years."

"Thank you, Dean," Xu Jingming said gratefully. Those two methods of constructing high-dimensional life forms were of great help to him.

"The Time-Space Island Lord and the Eternal Tower Master have spent a lot of time and energy on this," the Dean said. "The Time-Space Island Lord led us through the Mother River to distant places in order to find high-dimensional life forms of the Mind Realm lineage."

Xu Jingming was shocked.

The three Supreme Realm beings had paid so much for him?

"We are all members of the human race," the Dean said. "Naturally, we must be united."

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded.

"Also, these are some items we exchanged with high-dimensional life forms of the Mind Realm lineage." The Dean flipped his hand and handed Xu Jingming a piece of animal skin. "This is a lineage called *Xin Jie San Xian* (Mind Realm Three Threads), which is suitable for those of the Mind Realm lineage to comprehend, although it can only be cultivated to the Eternal realm level. But it's not bad for laying a foundation. The end of the lineage also includes some common sense information about the cultivation process."

"A lineage?" Xu Jingming took the scroll of animal skin.

"We don't understand the Mind Realm lineage, so we can only buy this lineage. You should study it carefully." The Dean then took out three booklets. "These three copies of *Xin Jie Tan Suo Xu Zhi* (Mind Realm Exploration Guide) were written by different high-dimensional life forms of the Mind Realm."

"Mind Realm Exploration Guide?" Xu Jingming took the three booklets.

"Mind Realm exploration is very important to every high-dimensional life form of the Mind Realm lineage. It is full of opportunities, but there are also dangers," the Dean said. "The three of us can't enter the Mind Realm, so we can only rely on you to explore it yourself."

"Thank you, Dean." Holding these three booklets, Xu Jingming was very moved. If he were to barge into the Mind Realm like a blind man, he was afraid that he would unknowingly cause some great disaster.

The Dean and the others were trying their best to pave the way for Xu Jingming.

Although the lineage was ordinary, it also included a lot of common sense. Coupled with the *Mind Realm Exploration Guide*, it would allow Xu Jingming to avoid many pitfalls.

"The most precious thing this time..." The Dean flipped his hand and took out the most important treasure. In his palm appeared a black flower bud. "This is an Eternal realm weapon of the Mind Realm lineage, called the Sinful Bloom."

Xu Jingming couldn't help but say, "This is too valuable."

Eternal realm high-dimensional weapons were already extremely valuable.

And an Eternal realm high-dimensional weapon of the "Mind Realm Power" lineage was even rarer, probably worth ten or eight ordinary Eternal realm high-dimensional weapons.

"For a high-dimensional life, a suitable high-dimensional weapon is too important," the Dean said. "It can greatly increase your strength in all aspects, and your ability to protect your life can also be greatly enhanced."

"Thank you, Dean," Xu Jingming said, very moved.

His harvest in the subsidiary universe was very large, but those high-dimensional weapons accumulated by Sanan in his lifetime were not as good as this black flower bud called the Sinful Bloom. The Dean and the others were really wholeheartedly devoted to him.

"When you become a high-dimensional life, you will be our three most trusted life-and-death companions," the Dean said.

"I will become a high-dimensional life as soon as possible," Xu Jingming nodded. He could feel the Dean and the others' expectations.

"Alright, this mission is considered complete this time." The Dean looked at Xu Jingming with a smile. "We don't understand the path of the Mind Realm Power, but the lineage and some common sense have been given to you. You can explore it yourself! You can also slowly explore the construction of a high-dimensional life form."

"Work hard, a high-dimensional life is a new beginning," the Dean said.

"I understand," Xu Jingming said. "By the way, Dean, I had some gains while exploring the subsidiary universe."

As he spoke, Xu Jingming distorted the space in front of him, storing three black high-dimensional fruits inside.

"High-dimensional fruit?" the Dean looked at them.

"According to my understanding, if it is a nascent high-dimensional life, eating this high-dimensional fruit will be enough to raise the pure physical body to the level of a 'nascent peak'," Xu Jingming said.

"Oh?" The Dean was surprised, then smiled, "Good, I will accept it for research."

The three of them were all at the peak Eternal realm level. These three high-dimensional fruits were indeed only suitable for research and no longer had any help for their strength.

"I also got two Eternal realm high-dimensional weapons, which I don't need at all." Xu Jingming took out the sword and the set of armor.

He was of the Mind Realm Power lineage and did not need close combat. Armor and swords were of limited use to him.

On the contrary, the Eternal realm weapon, the Sinful Bloom, could comprehensively improve Xu Jingming's strength.

"Eternal realm weapon?" The Dean looked at them and smiled, "It seems that you have gained a lot in the subsidiary universe. Keep them. The three of us don't lack these. After you become a high-dimensional life... you can also exchange them for some treasures."

He could guess that these two Eternal realm high-dimensional weapons were probably Xu Jingming's most precious treasures.

Xu Jingming understood.

"Dean, I also obtained a lineage in the subsidiary universe." Xu Jingming thought of that lineage and immediately took out the huge book composed of 36 stone slabs.

"This lineage is called *Meng Ha Duo* (Dream Hado)," Xu Jingming explained.

"Oh?"

The Dean looked at the stone book.

He had lived for a long time and ventured into the high-dimensional space with the Eternal Tower Master and the Time-Space Island Lord. The three of them together could even withstand "Gu Mo," who had stepped into the Third Realm with one foot. The three of them were considered powerful existences with some prestige in the high-dimensional space.

The treasures, resources, and inheritances they collected were naturally numerous, so they did not care about the gains of the younger generation.

"This lineage?" As the Dean looked, his expression became solemn. One stone slab page after another was opened, and the Dean became more and more serious. It took a full fifteen minutes to completely read the entire lineage.

"*Meng Ha Duo*... Xiong E?" The Dean looked at Xu Jingming. The name of the monster was recorded in the lineage.

"Yes, the master of that subsidiary universe was called *Meng Ha Duo* Xiong E, and this lineage was also left by him," Xu Jingming nodded.

"The best lineage that the three of us, the Time-Space Island Lord and the Eternal Tower Master, can collect is a half-step Third Realm lineage," the Dean said with emotion. "The more powerful the high-dimensional life is, the less likely it is to easily spread its complete lineage. Moreover, it cannot be copied, so powerful lineages are very rare."

Xu Jingming nodded. He himself had obtained the *Hong Lian Zhi Huo* (Crimson Lotus Fire) and could not copy it either.

"This is the most powerful lineage in terms of physical body that our human race has obtained," the Dean said. "It is of great help to both me and the Eternal Tower Master."

"I came back this time to help you," the Dean said with a smile. "Fate is so magical, but you have helped me and the Eternal Tower Master in return."

Xu Jingming was also very happy in his heart. It was good to be able to help the Dean and the others.

"The complete lineage of that monster?" A middle-aged man in plain clothes appeared in the distance. With a step, he arrived nearby.

"A half-step Third Realm lineage, very complete. It perfectly combines the Abyss lineage and the Primordial Star lineage. In terms of the physical body, it is the most powerful I have ever seen." The Dean pointed to the stone book. "Look at it yourself."

"So powerful?" The Eternal Tower Master stared at the stone book. After receiving the news, he immediately sent his split-consciousness to descend into a carrier and rushed over as quickly as possible.

This lineage had limited appeal to the Time-Space Island Lord, but it had a great attraction to the Dean and the Tower Master.

"Tower Master," Xu Jingming also saluted.

"Yes, not bad." The Eternal Tower Master glanced at him, praised him, and then continued to look at the stone book, turning the pages one by one.
