Chapter 1 Family Matters

On a spaceship, the cosmic starry sky outside the ship shimmered with brilliant colors, a dreamlike sight.

Li Miaomiao and her daughter Xu Lixing were drinking beverages and chatting.

"Lixing, I abandoned your old man to be with you, so cheer up a little. Don't frown all day long," Li Miaomiao said with a smile. Xu Jingming's avatar had been keeping his wife company for far too long, and Li Miaomiao had grown 'tired' of it. Sometimes she deliberately left her husband to go find her daughter!

"I can't be happy," Xu Lixing said, holding her drink. "My two most beloved children, Fang Jin and Biyun, have completely fallen out, and their grandchildren are at each other's throats like enemies."

Li Miaomiao said, "In the feudal era of Blue Star's history, it was common for fathers and sons to turn against each other and brothers to become enemies because of the throne. Our Xu family has too many resources, so of course, the family members will fight."

"Fang Jin and Biyun are siblings," Xu Lixing said, her face looking somewhat haggard. "It's one thing for the younger generation to fight and tear each other apart. But they could have stayed out of it. Their falling out is what hurts me the most."

"How could they possibly stay out of it?" Li Miaomiao said with a smile. "The Xu family members today are mainly divided into two major factions: one is the descendants of Fang Jin, and the other is the descendants of Biyun. As the leaders of the two major factions, how could they transcend it?"

Li Miaomiao comforted her daughter, "Lixing, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Don't worry about them. After all, they are all Source lifeforms who have lived for tens of thousands of years. They are both intelligent. Since they have fallen out, it's their own decision."

"I understand, Mom, I understand," Xu Lixing nodded, sighing. "But I have spent too much effort on Fang Jin and Biyun. From the moment they were born, I wholeheartedly cultivated them, and to see them come to this..."

"People change," Li Miaomiao said. "In ten thousand years, Fang Jin and Biyun have also changed. You can't always treat them like they were when they were young."

Xu Lixing said softly, "Sometimes I think, if our Xu family didn't have so many resources and wealth, there might be fewer troubles. Fang Jin and Biyun might have always had a good relationship."

"Without resources, they wouldn't have been able to live to this day!" A voice rang out, and Xu Jingming appeared in the hall. "Without resources, your husband, Meng Tian, wouldn't have become a Cosmic Legend."

Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing turned their heads and immediately stood up.

"Dad," Xu Lixing said, somewhat ashamed.

"Becoming a Source lifeform by relying on external forces," Xu Jingming said, looking at his daughter. "And now you嫌弃 (xian qi, dislike/grumble about) having too many resources? So many families, so many people are fighting to the death for a little resource, and you're here complaining about it?"

"I'm not complaining," Xu Lixing explained. "I'm just worried about my two children."

"The path of evolution is the growth of life, but even more so, the growth of the soul," Xu Jingming said, looking at his daughter. "They are being pushed along by their respective children, they will be in pain, and they will make decisions. These are all things they need to experience for their spiritual growth. You should be happy for them!"

"Happy for them?" Xu Lixing was stunned.

"They are all Source lifeforms who have relied on external forces," Xu Jingming shook his head. "But they don't have the spiritual realm that a true Source lifeform should have."

Becoming a Source lifeform requires a high level of spiritual will.

His grandson, Xu Fangjin, and granddaughter, Xu Biyun, clearly didn't have enough spiritual strength.

"Don't be afraid of setbacks," Xu Jingming said, looking at his daughter. "Let them experience all kinds of setbacks and hardships. So what if they fall out? Even if they die, your dad can resurrect them."

Xu Lixing was stunned.

"Since they can't die, don't worry so much. Let them experience more trials and tribulations," Xu Jingming shook his head. "Such a small matter, and you can't see past it. In my opinion, your soul needs more tempering."

"Dad, it's a small matter to you, but countless family members are divided into two factions, fighting fiercely. Assassinations often occur between mid-level family members, and the core family members are also fighting openly," Xu Lixing said.

"Arrest those who should be arrested, punish those who should be punished, and kill those who break the law," Xu Jingming said. "Let's see how many of them dare to cause trouble."

Xu Lixing blinked her eyes. "The core family members are all direct descendants within a few generations. I..."

Li Miaomiao shook her head from the side. "Your dad has made it very clear. How about this, for the next thousand years, I'll manage the family. Lixing, you just watch from the sidelines. You're too indulgent with those grandchildren, which has made them too bold."

Xu Lixing nodded. "Okay, I won't interfere. You manage it, Mom."

Facing a group of grandchildren she had watched grow up since they were little, how could Xu Lixing bring herself to be ruthless?

"Arrange some food and drinks," Xu Jingming said, sitting down to the side. "I'm especially hungry right now."

Family matters were indeed a small matter in Xu Jingming's eyes.

His wife, daughter, and family members didn't know that the pillar of the family—Eternal Realm High-Dimensional lifeform Xu Jingming—had experienced a tribulation in the past five thousand years and had only just managed to survive it today.

"Jingming, your appetite is good," Li Miaomiao said, sitting beside him and smiling as she watched Xu Jingming eat and drink heartily.

"Good mood, good appetite," Xu Jingming said with a smile, glancing at his daughter beside him. "Lixing, regarding Fang Jin and Biyun's affairs, you also need to knock some sense into their other halves."

Xu Lixing was puzzled.

"Xu Fangjin's wife, Duoduo An*Jiu Yan, and Xu Biyun's husband, Feiyu*Jian Ya. The fact that the siblings have reached this point of falling out, their other halves also bear some responsibility," Xu Jingming said. "They both became tenth-order Source lifeforms through their own efforts, with extraordinary minds and wisdom. If they wanted the siblings to have a good relationship, they definitely could."

Xu Lixing thoughtfully said, "Yes, they are both geniuses."

"Speaking of which, Meng Tian has a good personality. He doesn't compete for anything! He is wholeheartedly devoted to you," Xu Jingming said with emotion.

As an Eternal Realm High-Dimensional lifeform of the Heart Realm lineage, how could Xu Jingming's eyes be deceived regarding his children's affairs?

Of all his daughter's marriage and his grandchildren's marriages, Xu Jingming was most satisfied with... his daughter's marriage to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian was wholeheartedly devoted to Xu Lixing.

Therefore, Xu Jingming admired him quite a bit and occasionally bestowed resources upon him. Not long ago, Meng Tian had become another Cosmic Legend of the human race.

Heart Realm Territory, inside the animal skin space.

A silver piece of paper floated in the cosmic starry sky, larger than a star system.

Xu Jingming stood above the silver paper, looking down and carefully observing it.

"A page drawn by an Ultimate existence?" Xu Jingming looked at the spear technique on the paper and couldn't help but be mesmerized. This spear technique seemed simple and pure, but it contained endless mysteries.

This spear technique, although on paper, seemed to pierce through the entire territory, pierce through the shackles of time and space, pierce through the shackles of karma, and pierce through all obstacles.

"Nothing can stop this spear. An entire territory is fragile in its presence."

"I feel that even a third-realm existence would be crushed and annihilated in front of it."

"Even the Primordial Star or the Abyss would be pierced with a big hole."

Xu Jingming murmured.

"If I could learn even one or two tenths of it, I'm afraid I could achieve the third realm," Xu Jingming said. The more he observed, the more obsessed he became. In front of this spear technique, any inheritance he had seen seemed pale in comparison.

Inheritances like *Heart God Weapon*, *Red Lotus Fire*, and *Meng Ha Duo* were crude and simple in front of it.

*Eight Directions Diagram* was merely basic instruction in front of it.

"Lou Yejun actually imparted such a precious thing to me." Xu Jingming sighed. Lou Yejun was too generous and willing to give, rewarding him with such a treasure. Even if the other party had comprehended it for endless years and had firmly remembered this painting, its value was still extremely high.

"I can't remember this painting at all." Although he observed it carefully, he soon forgot what he had seen.

Because the brushstrokes of the painting contained information that was too complex, exceeding the memory limit of Xu Jingming's brain. Therefore, he forgot everything he saw.

Xu Jingming divided this page of silver paper into 10,000 squares, studying each square. Any gains and insights from the study were recorded to prevent forgetting during the research process.

Research and take notes.

Time passed day by day, and Xu Jingming's gains increased. The Wanxing Island's dean, the tower master, the island master, and Chihmeng didn't know that Xu Jingming had experienced the 'Ten Thousand Race World' tribulation. Life was peaceful.

Having only been in the Nanting 3609 territory for over five thousand years, the dean and others were very low-key, not participating in any disputes, but instead actively making friends with all parties, gradually integrating into this territory.

The strength of Wanxing Island was still recognized by all parties! The dean and the tower master easily made some friends.

"So that's how it is. The meaning of the eleventh level of *Heart God Weapon* is actually like this." Xu Jingming suddenly realized. He had only been studying this silver paper for three years, and he had been keeping various notes.

With a lot of gains, when he looked at the *Heart God Weapon* inheritance again, he had a different kind of understanding.

"Unknowingly, *Heart God Weapon* has surpassed *Red Lotus Fire* and become the inheritance that I have cultivated to the deepest extent," Xu Jingming said with a smile. *Heart God Weapon* had already reached the eleventh level, which could be called the peak of the Eternal Realm.

Xu Jingming stretched out his hand, and a faint long spear appeared in his hand.

This was a spear he had forged and nurtured with precious materials, 'Sin Bead'.

"With this spear, I will cut through the enemy's heart." Xu Jingming held the spear, quite satisfied. "The Heart God Weapon lineage is famous for being good at fighting. Its attack power is extremely strong."

"Back then, that Great Dreamer was from the Mind Weapon lineage, and was known as invincible below the half-step third realm. My current strength should be similar to the Great Dreamer. But... having a weapon and not having a weapon makes a big difference in strength."

Having reached the eleventh level of Heart God Weapon and using a Mind Weapon, Xu Jingming dared to say that he was invincible below the half-step third realm.

But without a Mind Weapon, his avatar's strength was much more ordinary.

"Although I have many avatars, I only have one Mind Weapon," Xu Jingming frowned slightly. "I need to buy more materials as soon as possible and refine a few more Mind Weapons."

If he didn't have third-realm weapons, he would rely on quantity to win.

With more Mind Weapons, his many mind avatars would have enough deterrent power!
