Chapter 10.12 Opening the Universe Within
In the vast high-dimensional space of Ten Thousand Stars Island, Xu Jingming, clad in black robes, sat leisurely on a rock. In the distance, several naturally born high-dimensional lifeforms meticulously tended to the medicinal fields.
"I've grasped the method of opening up a universe, now it's time to experiment," Xu Jingming mused. With a thought, an illusion materialized, a vast illusion depicting the birth of a universe, its energy surging, space-time twisting and distorting, the cosmos gradually taking shape.
All of this was illusion, having no effect on reality. Soon, a miniature universe formed within the illusion.
Though called miniature, this universe was still far larger than Xu Jingming's home, the Wu Hook Star Alliance, boasting a diameter of over a billion light-years.
"The illusionary universe is very stable." Xu Jingming rose, a smile gracing his face. "Next, I can begin opening one within my own body."
For high-dimensional lifeforms of other lineages, opening a universe within their bodies required great caution. They would worry about failure, the energy of a great explosion obliterating them. Thus, they would prepare methods to protect themselves.
But the Heart Boundary lineage, with its many incarnations, was different. If one incarnation failed to open a universe within, it was of little consequence.
Therefore, Xu Jingming made no grand announcement. He didn't even tell the Dean and the others, returning to his quiet room alone to attempt the breakthrough.
Clad in black robes, Xu Jingming calmed his mind, mobilizing the vast power of the Heart Boundary to gather in his abdomen.
Rumble...
When opening up a universe within, high-dimensional lifeforms already occupied vast layers of space. Opening a universe within only required occupying a small portion of these layers. Maintaining a universe as large as a true universe was impossible, even for a half-step Third Realm being like Meng Heduo.
As the energies surged and the internal universe began to form, Xu Jingming guided the process, gradually perfecting his creation.
Time flowed by relentlessly. This was far more complex than constructing an illusion, for every minute refinement of the internal universe consumed a great deal of energy. Search Sanyoujia book titles on Bing or QQ Browser to experience priority reading every day.
Xu Jingming simply drew upon the inexhaustible power of the Heart Boundary to supply the formation of his internal universe.
It was like giving birth, from a fertilized egg slowly growing, forming an embryo, until it became a baby.
Opening up an internal universe was similar, opening up chaotic space-time from surging energy, gradually stabilizing the chaotic space-time, forming a rudimentary universe, constantly absorbing energy, constantly expanding and growing larger.
"Hmm!"
On Ten Thousand Stars Island, high-dimensional lifeforms looked towards Xu Jingming's quiet room, each one astonished.
"What terrifying energy fluctuations!"
"It's Island Master Wu Ming's residence. Such activity... is he opening up an internal universe?!"
"How long has it been since Island Master Wu Ming became a high-dimensional lifeform? Is he about to become an Eternal Realm already? That's even faster than the high-dimensional lifeform Crimson Rock. He should still be stuck in the nascent stage!"
The Heart Boundary lineage was indeed extraordinary. These naturally born high-dimensional lifeforms gathered in groups, discussing and marveling, filled with excitement.
The energy required to open an internal universe was so vast that these naturally born high-dimensional lifeforms rarely witnessed it in their long lives.
Moreover, the addition of an Eternal Realm to Ten Thousand Stars Island was a major event, like a festival for the people of Blue Star.
"Opening up an internal universe?" The Dean, the Tower Master, the Island Master, and Crimson Rock had also arrived outside Xu Jingming's residence. If the naturally born high-dimensional lifeforms were watching for fun, like a festival, then the Dean and the others were filled with genuine anticipation.
For the human race in the vast high-dimensional space, every new Eternal Realm was a great blessing for the entire race.
"Such a commotion, he must be opening up an internal universe," praised the Eternal Tower Master.
"He often came to me to discuss issues of universe space-time." The Space-Time Island Master was also in high spirits, smiling as she said, "Judging from the questions he asked, his understanding of universe space-time is already very deep. It's about time he opened up an internal universe."
"Junior Brother's talent is indeed high!" Crimson Rock exclaimed.
He had become a high-dimensional lifeform earlier, but he still saw no hope of reaching the Eternal Realm. He still had many questions regarding the opening of an internal universe.
"The power of the Heart Boundary originates from the Third Realm, and is inherently wondrous," the Dean said. "Jingming can use the power of the Heart Boundary to simulate the formation of the universe again and again, so naturally he's fast. I've heard that the Heart Boundary's legacy lands are almost all at the Eternal Realm level, with very few nascent stage beings. Therefore, given some time to grow, they can all become Eternal Realm beings."
"Regardless of which Third Realm power it is, they all possess various wonders and can relatively easily become Eternal Realm beings," the Space-Time Island Master added. "Crimson Rock, you don't need to be anxious. With your talent, you should take more time. There is hope for the Eternal Realm."
Crimson Rock nodded. He wasn't discouraged because it was inherently difficult to go from the nascent stage to the Eternal Realm. The progress of those naturally born high-dimensional lifeforms was very slow. They didn't even understand themselves, so their hope of reaching the Eternal Realm was naturally slim, less than one percent.
It was different for low-dimensional races breaking through. They all created their own high-dimensional lifeforms. Although creating a small universe was more difficult, generally, one out of a few could succeed.
As for those who mastered the high-dimensional powers of the Third Realm, because of the power's inherent uniqueness, coupled with their own talents and other reasons, they could all become Eternal Realm beings relatively easily.
"I hope Jingming can succeed this time," the Dean said, looking at Xu Jingming's residence with some anticipation.
"Yes, with the race's migration imminent, we will encounter many problems in an unfamiliar territory."
The Eternal Tower Master's weathered face showed concern. "If there is one more Eternal Realm from the Heart Boundary lineage, our human race's deterrent power will be much greater."
If there were still ways to kill a nascent stage Heart Boundary being, then the difficulty of killing an Eternal Realm Heart Boundary being was incredibly high.
The overall lifespan of Eternal Realm Heart Boundary beings was generally not too long! This was because they liked to travel the Heart Boundary, explore countless legacy lands, and explore countless territories. Crossing territories was too easy for them.
Exploring countless territories, exploring countless places, of course, could lead to encounters with Third Realm existences. Gu Jinshi had received guidance from two Third Realm existences.
Going to too many places could lead to adventures, but also to scares and desperate situations!
Like that Great Dreamer Xu Jingming encountered, he had lived for half a Deep Abyss Era, only to die.
"An Eternal Realm from the Heart Boundary lineage has more deterrent power than any of us," the Dean said with a smile.
"After Xu Jingming breaks through, our human race will have a much greater chance of success in migrating to our new home," the Space-Time Island Master also looked forward to the successful opening of the internal universe.
Xu Jingming carefully persevered for more than three days. Finally, the internal universe was completely perfected. With the rules in operation, everything formed its own system. Only then did Xu Jingming breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's done." Xu Jingming felt joy in his heart. The internal universe formed its own system, requiring no further control from Xu Jingming. At the same time, the internal universe began to feed back into the body!
With the body having an "internal universe" as an energy source, the lifeform began to grow, naturally absorbing the power from the Heart Boundary, the body constantly growing larger.
Xu Jingming smiled. A characteristic of high-dimensional lifeforms was that, regardless of the lineage, their bodies would dramatically increase in size after crossing a threshold.
Nascent stage high-dimensional lifeforms, if descending into the real universe and manifesting in low dimensions, would be only tens of light-years tall. Eternal Realm high-dimensional lifeforms, if unrestrained in low dimensions, could expand to hundreds of millions of light-years or even larger. Meng Heduo, a half-step Third Realm being with an extraordinarily large body, although smaller than the real universe, had even devoured real universes.
As for Third Realm existences? Their hand alone was larger than the real universe.
"After the body becomes larger, the volume for carrying energy greatly increases, and the energy density is also greatly increased, so there's no way to fight across levels." Xu Jingming sighed. He had cultivated the Pure Lotus Fire to the Nine-Leaf stage, yet it was so difficult to deal with Yu Fangtuo, a nascent stage peak split-consciousness vessel.
If he encountered a true Eternal Realm being, even lying there and letting the Pure Lotus Fire burn, he wouldn't be able to harm the other party.
"This is the difference in life levels, and I, too, have become an Eternal Realm being." Xu Jingming felt the changes in himself. The internal universe naturally absorbed the power of the Heart Boundary, supplying its own consumption.
The structure of the internal universe destined it to be self-circulating, without the danger of decay.
The internal universe could exist as long as the Eternal Realm high-dimensional lifeform could live.
Xu Jingming had conducted over twelve thousand experimental planets, and after more than seven thousand years of experimentation, he had already accurately ranked them.
The starfield where Sequence 2 experimental planet was located was suitable for human survival.
Buzz.
A light and shadow condensed from the infinite distance, in a high-dimensional void, eventually forming a phantom.
This phantom was a flaming star body, a vast flaming star. Search Sanyoujia book titles on Bing or QQ Browser to experience priority reading every day.
Even as a phantom, the pressure was incredibly terrifying, enough to surpass Xu Jingming's newly broken through Eternal Realm body.
Another phantom was a figure clad in starlight robes—it was Gu Mo.
"Gu Mo, my good brother, I've been waiting for you for too long," the flaming star body phantom said with great enthusiasm.
"I knew that the four half-step Third Realm beings from your Fengyi Ninety-Seven Territory would definitely separate."
"Yes." Gu Mo nodded. "I need to migrate territories, and I must have a real universe suitable for my race—the Void God Race—to survive. But the other three half-step Third Realm beings are unwilling to accommodate me."
"In your Fengyi Ninety-Seven Territory, the four half-step Third Realm beings all have their own plans. Some want to gather the power of the four half-step Third Realm beings to seize too many benefits together. Some want their companions to take the risks while they hide behind. You, Gu Mo, have to consider your race," the flaming star body phantom said. "So you should have decided long ago, don't waste time with them."
"So I'm sure now." Gu Mo smiled. "I'm migrating to your territory, so we'll be neighbors from now on."
"Haha, I'm waiting for you!" The flaming star body phantom laughed heartily, and Gu Mo nodded.
"This is Wu Ming's Sequence 2 territory in the experiment, right?" Gu Mo thought silently. He was very considerate, avoiding the Sequence 1 territory.
