Chapter 68 A Lifetime Together

The hotel lobby was filled with joy. Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao kept receiving red envelopes, and their bags were already full.

"My dear grandson, granddaughter-in-law," Grandpa Xu walked over with a red envelope.

"Grandpa," Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao called out.

Grandpa Xu looked at them with a smile, as if seeing himself and his wife when they got married. He and his wife had also stumbled at the beginning, but over time, they became familiar with each other. A word, a look, they understood each other's thoughts and became even more affectionate.

It was just that his old partner had left first.

He thought that he was old and would have to go down to accompany his old partner! Who would have thought that the new era would arrive, and life evolution would allow him to continue living. Although his lifespan was much longer and his life was much more exciting, he no longer had his old partner to share it with.

"From now on," Grandpa Xu instructed, "you two are husband and wife. What does it mean to be husband and wife? No matter what happens, husband and wife are one. You must face everything together! Raise your children together, face your careers together, face setbacks together. Your destinies will be truly connected..."

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao listened obediently.

"Husband and wife supporting each other will make the road ahead much easier," Grandpa Xu said. "If husband and wife are at odds, the road will be much more difficult."

"Finding a lover who can be connected at heart and walk together for a lifetime is a very happy thing," Grandpa Xu said, looking at the younger generation. "Cherish it."

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.

"Miaomiao."

Li Chen'an and his wife also walked up to the young couple.

"Dad, Mom," Li Miaomiao called out, and Xu Jingming followed suit.

Li Chen'an and his wife both hugged their daughter.

Their daughter was their precious treasure, and they had taken care of her wholeheartedly for more than twenty years.

From now on...

Their daughter would be with her husband.

"Miaomiao," Mother Li said, hugging her daughter, her eyes wet. "You're married today, and you'll have children in the future. You can't be too willful anymore. You have to learn to grow up."

Li Miaomiao hugged her mother and just nodded.

Li Chen'an then looked at Xu Jingming. "Jingming, Miaomiao is the most important treasure in my life. In the past, my wife and I protected her, but from now on... I'll leave her to you. Don't disappoint me!"

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Miaomiao," Xu Jingming promised.

"If you dare to bully her, I will never let you go," Li Chen'an said, looking at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming looked at Li Miaomiao beside him.

"Dad, I believe in Jingming," Li Miaomiao said.

...

Virtual world.

In a vast starry sky, guests from all over the world were sitting around, each with a table in front of them. The tables were filled with exquisite delicacies, the best in the virtual world, which could not be made in reality and were very expensive.

There were too many guests, many of Li Miaomiao's friends and Xu Jingming's friends! Friends from the martial arts circle, as well as many friends they had made in the virtual world, were all invited.

"Wow!"

"So beautiful."

"Handsome!"

Friends and relatives cheered. A dazzling galaxy appeared, and Li Chen'an was leading his daughter by the hand, walking on one end of the galaxy. Xu Jingming was walking on the other end of the galaxy, walking towards each other.

When they reached the center of the galaxy, Li Chen'an handed his daughter's hand to Xu Jingming.

At this moment, Li Miaomiao was wearing a white wedding dress, which was shimmering with endless starlight, dazzling and eye-catching. Xu Jingming took his wife's hand, nodded slightly to his father-in-law Li Chen'an, and together they walked towards the front of the galaxy.

"Miaomiao, from now on, we will hold hands and walk the road of life together," Xu Jingming said, holding Li Miaomiao's hand.

"You can't let go," Li Miaomiao said.

"I will definitely hold on tight," Xu Jingming smiled. "By the way, after we get married, shouldn't we have a child?"

"Honey, have you thought of a name for the child?" Li Miaomiao asked. "What should we call a boy? What should we call a girl?"

"Honey, naming is too difficult. Let's name them together," Xu Jingming said.

The two talked as they walked towards the end of the galaxy.

******

Virtual world personal space.

Xu Jingming was alone, pondering. Although he discussed many things with Miaomiao, the 'exchange list' contained too many secrets. The Blue Star Alliance forbade Xu Jingming and the others from spreading it, and even the resources they chose had to be used on themselves.

After all, the Blue Star Alliance's intention was to cultivate these top talents in the world.

"First of all, I need a complete inheritance," Xu Jingming thought. "This way, the road ahead will be much clearer."

"So I must choose an eighth-order inheritance."

"I possessed the cosmic legend 'Xuan,' so the eighth-order inheritance I choose should also be a spear technique inheritance, and the more compatible it is with Xuan, the better," Xu Jingming thought. He wanted to perfectly match the opportunity of possession with the eighth-order inheritance, so that he could comprehend and understand it more smoothly.

"Eighth-order inheritance requires 50 contribution points," Xu Jingming thought. "I have 50 contribution points left."

"Hmm..."

"I have to put some thought into shield techniques. Advancing on different paths at the same time can also verify each other," Xu Jingming thought. "Heart refinement is also very important."

...

On the evening of January 5th, after several days of thinking, Xu Jingming finalized his exchange and began to contact the virtual world official.

"Hello, Xu Jingming," a woman in green smiled in a void space. "What do you need to exchange for?"

"First of all, I need a complete eighth-order spear technique inheritance," Xu Jingming said. "The more compatible this inheritance is with the cosmic legend 'Xuan's' spear technique, the better."

Xuan, the spear technique that turned into light, fascinated Xu Jingming.

After all, he had been practicing the spear since he was a child, also pursuing speed.

He was willing to continue down this path.

"Cosmic legend 'Xuan' left behind three spear technique inheritances," the woman in green said. "The most precious is a set of legendary-level spear technique books, *Hua Guang* (Transformation into Light). This set of spear technique books is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. The upper volume describes the first to eighth orders. The middle volume describes the ninth and tenth orders. The lower volume describes the ultimate move, which can greatly distort space-time, reaching the speed of light, and its power is incredible."

"Can I choose the upper volume of *Hua Guang*?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Yes," the woman in green nodded. "50 contribution points."

"Okay, I'll choose it," Xu Jingming said.

"Okay, recorded," the woman in green nodded. "What else do you need to exchange for?"

Xu Jingming said, "I need to possess a tenth-order expert who uses shield techniques. The more compatible his shield techniques are with my shield techniques, the better."

"Filtering..."

The woman in green paused for three seconds before saying, "Based on the analysis of all your previous battle videos, Xu Jingming, we have identified a tenth-order shield technique expert, 'Ambro,' whose shield techniques are 99.9321% compatible with your shield techniques."

Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.

Filtering?

It should be filtering through the historical records of cosmic civilizations, so they can filter out such a high degree of compatibility.

"Confirm, possess this tenth-order shield technique expert 'Ambro,'" Xu Jingming said.

"Recorded. Do you need to exchange for a shield technique inheritance?" the woman in green asked.

"No need," Xu Jingming shook his head lightly.

In his understanding, whether it was a spear, shield, axe... all kinds of weapons were just extensions of the body. The most important part of any inheritance was the body. The more terrifying the power and speed that the body could unleash, the more terrifying the use of any weapon would be.

Like 'Xuan,' who held a spear and eventually turned into light.

After reaching that realm, he could turn into light even if he was holding a shield, an axe, or a sword! Even empty-handed, he could still turn into light.

The spear...

It was just the most suitable weapon for Xuan.

He obtained the upper volume of the *Hua Guang* inheritance, which also contained the first to eighth orders. This was the guide to body evolution and increasing body control. As for how to fight with the shield? Possessing that tenth-order expert was a very clear guide.

"I also need an A-grade heart refinement crystal," Xu Jingming said.

An A-grade heart refinement crystal costs 10 contribution points.

"Recorded," the woman in green nodded. "Do you need to exchange for any other resources?"

"Not for now," Xu Jingming said.

A complete eighth-order inheritance, possession of a tenth-order shield technique expert, and an A-grade heart refinement crystal cost a total of 70 contribution points. He had 30 contribution points left, in case he encountered bottlenecks in his cultivation later, and he could make a choice based on his needs at that time.

"Xu Jingming, your exchange request has been confirmed. At 8:00 AM Beijing time on January 6th, a transport aircraft will arrive at your residence to take you to Binhai City to receive the resources," the woman in green said.

Xu Jingming nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.
