Chapter 433: Harvest (2)

The black-robed youth actually had doubts about his leader’s idea having a high chance of success.

“I can tell you with absolute certainty that as long as you gather, you will definitely lose,” Xu Jingming said.

There were too many high-realm Demon Vanquishers. Too many peak Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms in the cosmic human race sought opportunities on other paths. Many of them temporarily gave up on the Demon Vanquishing World because Heaven Demons were too difficult to find.

Once they gathered, a large number of high-realm Demon Vanquishers would rush over. At the same time… Even if a high-realm Demon Vanquisher died in battle, they could reestablish an account and quickly make a comeback.

A Heaven Demon was gone when it died.

High-realm Demon Vanquishers could establish accounts and repeatedly attack. Therefore, it was destined that Heaven Demons couldn’t defeat high-realm Demon Vanquishers.

“Haha…” The black-robed youth laughed. “Actually, I also think that the leader’s pursuit is too difficult. It’s practically a dream, but I’m willing to give up everything for this dream.”

“As long as I can kill Demon Vanquishers to my heart’s content during this process, I’ll be happy to let the evil Demon Vanquishers know their sins.” The black-robed youth gazed at Xu Jingming. “Sometimes, the outcome isn’t important. What’s important is… to give it my all on this path and burn everything I have.”

“When Junior Sister died, and the moment I became a demon, I only had one goal in life.” The black-robed youth grinned. “Kill those sinful Demon Vanquishers!”

Xu Jingming felt the burning madness of the other party’s obsession.

“Let’s meet another time.” Xu Jingming’s mental strength forcefully expelled the black-robed youth’s obsession. The moment the obsession was expelled, his Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers wrapped around the wisp of intrinsic demonic aura and placed it back into a jade bottle.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at the jade bottle in front of him.

In the jade bottle, the intrinsic demonic aura distorted and turned into a black-robed youth. He stared at Xu Jingming and mocked him.

This Heaven Demon Yu Xin knows that he can’t scare the Demon Vanquishers. He also knows that the probability of success in establishing a Heaven Demon Kingdom is very low, but he doesn’t care. He enjoys the process of fighting and killing the sinful Demon Vanquishers. Xu Jingming sighed.

Tell the other party that the path was wrong? That the method was wrong?

Useless! The other party knew that he had taken the wrong path, but he didn’t have any intentions of repenting. He was suicidal, hoping to kill more sinful Demon Vanquishers.

…

After putting away the jade bottle, Xu Jingming walked to the window and sat at the table, pouring himself a cup of wine.

I heard that in order to refine a Heaven Demon’s obsession, a high-realm Demon Vanquisher sealed it and tried time and time again, spending ten to twenty years refining a Heaven Demon. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. Some people take a long time but still fail.

Heaven Demons had a limited lifespan. Once the contract expired in reality, the Heaven Demon would dissipate since that was their appointed time of death in the Demon Vanquishing World.

However, I also sense the uniqueness of the Heaven Demon obsession, Xu Jingming thought. It’s the purity, heat, and firmness of the faith.

Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms would learn a large amount of humanities and science knowledge. It would be a humble take to claim that they knew everything. They knew a large amount of technological knowledge in the vast universe and the crystallized wisdom in humanities.

Every Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform has a very broad mind, but what about Heaven Demons? Almost all of them are ordinary people who have signed contracts with the virtual world and have their memories blocked out. They are like blank pieces of paper. Their knowledge is very basic, but the limit of Lv. 8 can’t shake their obsession.

Why? It’s because their obsessions are too pure and firm. They fuse everything, including their lives, into their obsessions. Therefore, their obsessions are indestructible!

There will always be something to learn from others. Heaven Demons might have all kinds of flaws, but one aspect of them is stronger than mine—it’s the purity and firmness of faith.

What about me? Although I’ve also put in a lot of effort on the evolutionary path, working hard for my homeworld and my family… I have too many distracting thoughts. I often consider the infiltration threat the Black Moon civilization poses to my homeworld.

I’ll consider my daughter’s growth. I’ll consider my family’s evolution.

I’ll pay attention to Master Liu Hai and the others.

I also believe that I’m a genius recruited by the Primordial Research Institute and am destined to be an Origin lifeform. I can become an Origin lifeform in about 200 years, so I don’t think there’s a need to squeeze myself dry, Xu Jingming thought to himself. Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms come into contact with extremely vast information, but they will also be affected by this information.

Can I be as sincere as the obsession of a Heaven Demon?

Can I face the evolutionary path with extreme sincerity?

Xu Jingming questioned himself repeatedly.

I’m not sincere enough. I haven’t put in my all! Xu Jingming gave an answer inwardly.

He had to invest more!

He needed more sincerity!

He needed to burn himself and do his best!

An Origin lifeform in about 200 years? Don’t set a limit for yourself! Why can’t I pursue a higher limit? 200 years, 100 years, 50 years… If someone in history can do it, why can’t I?

Refining a Heaven Demon didn’t necessarily require success.

Perhaps there would be gains from the collision of their minds—even failure might be a gain.

A change in mentality would have a huge impact on one’s evolutionary path.

…

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed and visualized the Primordial Star.

Burning myself to constantly pursue higher limits. Xu Jingming visualized the Primordial Star in his mind. His Light Rays’ Visualization focused on the Primordial Star’s light. At this moment, the Primordial Star in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Rays of light formed.

As the Primordial Star became vaster, its might burned Xu Jingming’s mind. However, he focused on every beam of light and ignored the pressure.

When Xu Jingming copied a new beam of light, he felt delighted. I’ve taken another step forward. Continue!

Rays of light appeared.

The Primordial Star in his mind emitted an even more dazzling light. It burned Xu Jingming’s mind and consciousness, causing it to become purer and stronger.

Visualization, strengthening of the mind, more detailed visualization, and greater strengthening of the mind… This was a cycle!

Xu Jingming was completely immersed in this feeling. He forgot about time and everything as he focused on visualizing the Primordial Star.

Boom!

When another beam of light was produced—

The light of the entire Primordial Star underwent a qualitative change.

Xu Jingming suddenly jolted awake. Only then did he feel that his mental strength had become much stronger. However, he also felt exhausted.

My—my Light Rays’ Visualization has broken through to the sixth level? Xu Jingming was surprised. Although he had reached the limit of Lv. 8, his Light Rays’ Visualization had only reached the fifth level.

According to the legacy’s description, one had to reach the seventh level to have a chance of becoming an Origin lifeform. Although he was still far from reaching the seventh level today, his improvement was already very great with his breakthrough to the sixth level.

The state I was previously in is something I haven’t done even after visualizing the Primordial Star for so many years. Only then did Xu Jingming get up and leave the house.

Outside the house, Wu Qi was sleeping on the stone table.

When Wu Qi heard the wooden door open, he jolted awake. When he saw Xu Jingming, he said in surprise, “Young Master, you’re finally out.”

“How long did I cultivate this time?” Xu Jingming asked. He was so engrossed that he didn’t feel the passage of time.

“It’s been 12 days,” Wu Qi answered. “Young Master, you haven’t eaten or drunk for 12 days. You didn’t take a step out of your room.”

“It’s been so long?” Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Visualizing the Primordial Star for 12 days in one go? He had never done it before.

“Has anything happened in the city recently?” Xu Jingming asked.

“I heard from the waiter at the inn that there were Demon Vanquishers fighting demons, and it caused a huge commotion,” Wu Qi replied. “Young Master, you haven’t stepped out, and I haven’t left the inn either, so I’m not too sure.”

Xu Jingming said, “Uncle Qi, have you been guarding here for the past 12 days?”

“Young Master, I’m worried that someone will disturb your cultivation.” Wu Qi smiled. “Young Master, you haven’t eaten for 12 days. You should be very hungry; let’s quickly grab a bite.”

“Okay.” Xu Jingming nodded.
