As the ancient mirror floated toward him, Xu Jingming couldnât help but feel a sense of pressure. Sanam was one of the 3,000 Emissaries and once had strength on par with a peak Firstborn high-dimensional lifeform. It had followed its master for so long, accumulating a vast amount of wealth in the process.
âThatâs too much,â Xu Jingming said, feeling unworthy of such a gift.
It would be easy enough for him to spread Monhado Xiong Eâs name, yet he was being rewarded with such immense benefits?
âTake it,â Sanam said with a smile. âYouâre worthy of this wealth.â
Xu Jingming gazed at the other with confusion.
âAlthough Iâm barely hanging on by a thread with the help of the auxiliary universe,â Sanam explained, âI can still unleash the strength of a high-dimensional Firstborn realm lifeform. Low-dimensional lifeforms who enter wonât be able to obtain my treasures if itâs against my will.â
Xu Jingming nodded in understanding, sensing some of the otherâs aura and realizing that he probably wouldnât be able to defeat him even if he tried his hardest.
âBut Iâm too old,â Sanam remarked, looking at Xu Jingming. âIâll eventually die in about half an Abyssal Era. Therefore, I have to choose a suitable owner for these treasures while Iâm still awake.â
âSome weak cosmic legends might not even be able to become high-dimensional lifeforms, so they naturally arenât qualified to obtain my treasures. But you, a young cosmic legend less than 2,000 years old who has grasped the third-realm high-dimensional power, Heart Realm Forceâyouâre one of the top geniuses Iâve seen throughout my long life. You will definitely be able to go further on the path of a high-dimensional lifeform, and the further you go, the more help you will be to Master.â
The mark that the inclinations of powerhouses formed were clearer and more dazzling.
âI understand.â Xu Jingming nodded, understanding the importance of the mark. It was something he could use to a certain extent.
With a thought, Xu Jingming summoned the mirror to float in front of him, but it was too large to handle.
âThis mirror is a high-dimensional weapon at the Firstborn realm,â Sanam said as a large amount of information floated in midair. Xu Jingming quickly memorized it all.
Using his Heart Realm Force, Xu Jingming began to try and control the mirror.
Heart Realm Force, representing the ultimate strength of the mental lineage, was extremely magical and allowed him to easily control the mirror.
âThis mirrorâŠâ Xu Jingming exclaimed, staring in shock at the pocket universe contained within it.
âItâs just a first-realm high-dimensional treasure.â Sanam shrugged. âItâs only about 1.08 billion light-years in diameter. Itâs small, comparatively speaking.â
âSmall?â Xu Jingming repeated, stunned. âWhat do you mean by small?â
âWell, for example, my masterâs true body is over ten billion light-years tall,â Sanam explained. âAnd the legendary third-realm high-dimensional lifeforms have bodies that are even bigger, exceeding the size of your home universe.â
âTheir bodies are bigger than my entire universe?â Xu Jingming was intrigued.
The universe was massive. The human dominion alone had 34 cosmic sectors, and that was only a small corner. The entire universe was beyond comprehension in terms of size.
Even the monster, Monhado Xiong Eâwho was over ten billion light-years tallâonly spanned a few cosmic sectors. It was still very small compared to the whole picture.
âIâve seen a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform with my own eyes,â Sanam went on. âI didnât get a clear look at His true body, but I saw His palm. And let me tell you, His palm was slightly larger than your entire homeworld universe.â
Xu Jingming nodded. He didnât know much, but he knew very well how truly unimaginable third-realm high-dimensional lifeforms were.
âThe cosmic fruits Iâve harvested over three Abyssal Eras are stored in this mirror,â Sanam explained, gesturing to the piles of treasures stacked up like mountains within it. âThese ordinary cosmic fruits are only useful to low-dimensional lifeforms, and Iâve collected over 100,000 of them.â
Xu Jingming scanned the mirror, seeing the vast pile of cosmic fruits present. Among them was a large number of cosmic fruitsâthere were indeed more than 100,000.
âThatâs a lot of cosmic fruits,â Xu Jingming remarked, impressed. Each one was worth ten million credits.
âTheyâre meant for low-dimensional beings, so theyâre nothing, really,â Sanam explained. âI just collect them regularly; itâs a natural accumulation over time. The ones you collected last time werenât even ready to be harvested yet, and most of them were still relatively small.â
Xu Jingming also noticed that the cosmic fruits in the mirror were generally larger.
If I provide them as exchange items for Origin lifeforms once every 1,000 years and release them one at a time, itâll take more than 100 million years to use them all up, Xu Jingming calculated. The three Paramounts regularly put a ton of treasures up for exchange with Origin lifeforms. All together, itâs actually a massive amount of resources. These cosmic fruits of mine are nothing in comparison.
âThe six high-dimensional fruits are whatâs really important here,â Sanam told Xu Jingming, who had also noticed them.
They were identical to the ones guarded by the snakes outside.
âEvery high-dimensional fruit thatâs produced puts a huge strain on the auxiliary universe,â Sanam explained. âI didnât realize this at first, and I picked the two fruit trees three times! Later on, I noticed that the auxiliary universe was slowly deteriorating, so I didnât pick them again. It wasnât until then that the decline of the auxiliary universe slowed down. I hope youâll also⊠refrain from picking the two high-dimensional fruits outside.â
âOne high-dimensional fruit is enough for a single high-dimensional lifeform,â Sanam said.
âOkay, I wonât pick them.â Xu Jingming nodded.
There was no need to pick any with so many treasures in the mirror. It would only accelerate the decline of the auxiliary universe.
The weaker the auxiliary universe, the faster Sanam would die.
âYou can consume this high-dimensional fruit after becoming a high-dimensional lifeform. Its function⊠is to modify your body,â Sanam explained. âIt will greatly improve your body, allowing your physical strength to reach the peak of the Firstborn realm.â
Xu Jingming looked at the black fruit with anticipation, but he couldnât consume it now.
âThere are also a variety of valuable minerals, plants, and other materials like blood, bones, and scales from high-dimensional space. These can all be used to create high-dimensional weapons and enhance oneâs bloodline. Their worth is not far behind the six high-dimensional fruits.â
As Xu Jingming surveyed the piles of items, he saw vast quantities of high-dimensional minerals spread out before him.
There were also the remains of high-dimensional lifeforms, including a sphere of golden blood with a diameter of more than ten million kilometers, a stack of scales each about a light-year in diameter, and an extremely long ivory-white horn.
In addition, there were numerous plants of all kinds, as well as a multitude of strange items piled up like a mountain.
âThe most valuable possession Iâve accumulated over the years are definitely my high-dimensional weapons,â Sanam declared. âI was lucky enough to acquire two Eternal realm weapons. I also have 17 Firstborn realm weapons, but there are over a thousand more that arenât as impressive. These were crafted without much care and were given to lower dimensional beings.â
Xu Jingming was also examining the treasures in the mirror.
The two shining Eternal weapons stood out among the massive collection: one was a sword, and the other was armor.
The sword seemed ancient, as if it had the power to freeze everything in its path.
The armor was imposing and unyielding.
Just sensing these treasures was enough to make Xu Jingming feel a heavy weight on his shoulders.
The other 17 Firstborn realm treasures and weapons included the mirror itself, as well as armor, battle armor, a high-dimensional spaceship, high-dimensional puppets, sabers, swords, spears, eight-clawed chains, and other weapons.
All 17 Firstborn realm treasures were much more intimidating than the Primordial Fire Beads. After all, only a set of 36 Primordial Fire Beads could be considered a complete Firstborn realm weapon.
Some high-dimensional weapons that were exchanged by Origin lifeforms were actually mediocre. The materials were ordinary, and their value was very low.
âFor high-dimensional lifeforms, high-dimensional treasures and weapons are of utmost importance,â Sanam explained. âThey are willing to trade more than half their wealth for a powerful high-dimensional weapon that is perfect for them.â
âMy entire wealth is probably comparable to that of a poor high-dimensional Eternal being.â Sanam chuckled. âItâs already not bad to have one or two Eternal weapons for someone who has just reached the Eternal realm.â
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
There was also a divide between rich and poor high-dimensional Eternal beings. For instance, the three human Paramounts were powerful and had a lot of experience. They used forbidden weapons, and the three of them together were a match for Gumo. They were naturally considered very wealthy among high-dimensional Eternal beings.
In terms of value, these treasures can probably be exchanged for an entire cosmic sector, Xu Jingming thought. Of course, the wealth of high-dimensional beings is primarily used on their evolutionary journey.
Whoosh.
Sanam waved its hand, materializing a book that shot toward Xu Jingming.
âIâve had this book for a while. It explains how to use my treasures,â Sanam explained.
âThank you, Sir,â Xu Jingming replied, grateful that the other had thought of everything for him.
âFinallyâŠâ Sanam looked at Xu Jingming. âItâs a legacy left behind by my master before it passed away.â
Sanam waved its hand again, producing a thick, massive rock book that appeared to be made up of 36 stone slabs.
Sanam gazed at the rock book with longing and sighed with emotion. âWhen high-dimensional beings are alive, they donât want to reveal all their legacies. They usually keep the core parts a secret. This is because revealing them would expose their core secrets.
âBut when theyâre facing death, theyâll spread their legacies without hesitation,â Sanam said as he handed the massive rock book to Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming could understand.
The Void Celestials had five legacies, all of which were third-realm legacies.
He had only seen the true projection of Master of the Abyssal Void, but after grasping the Heart Realm Force, the true projection turned into the complete legacy of Red Lotus Fire. It was clear that Master of the Abyssal Void had left this opportunity for the later generation.
The legacy is also a mark. Maybe they also want to use these marks to be revived. As he thought this, his Heart Realm Force enveloped the thick rock book in front of him.
He opened it and saw that every page was a huge rock slab with a large amount of high-dimensional information. Xu Jingming silently read and absorbed it, page after page, as a powerful high-dimensional legacy of the Physical Path was displayed in front of him without reservation.
