574 Tracking Moyou

Senior Brother Jane welcomed the two into the courtyard before they sat down at a long stone table in the courtyard. Just like in the past hundred years, the three of them took out good wine, delicacies, fruits, and snacks and chatted as they ate and drank.

“What did you come up with?” Yijiu asked as he drank.

“My mental strength is lacking,” Jane said. “Although my mind has reached Lv. 11, I barely managed to maintain a sliver of consciousness after falling into the eye’s abyss. I could only unleash a small portion of my strength. For example, Senior Brother Yijiu, you were also trapped in the eye, but you could still unleash your strength. Moyou had nothing on you.”

Yijiu nodded. “Yes, having a strong mind allows one to resist the power of Nightmare better.”

!!
“Senior Brother, if your mental strength can reach high-dimensional, you can observe high-dimensional space and understand it. I believe your chances of becoming a cosmic legend will significantly increase,” Xu Jingming said.

“Yeah! But how difficult is it to reach high-dimensional?” Jane remarked.

Xu Jingming gazed on.

The three steps to becoming a high-dimensional lifeform: high-dimensional mental strength, personally grasping high-dimensional strength, and constructing a high-dimensional lifeform. Every step was harder than the other. Just having high-dimensional mental strength… left countless people stuck.

I’ve cultivated the evolutionary method for more than 200 years, and I’m considered one of the top talents in the history of cosmic humans. However, my mental strength is only at the 10th level after 200 years, Xu Jingming thought.

Mental strength can’t be rushed.

Yijiu put down his wine glass and said, “There are more than 50,000 Lv. 10 human Origin lifeforms, but less than 100 have high-dimensional mental strength! Almost all of them cultivated for 50,000 years before their minds reached high-dimensional.”

“I know.” Jane nodded. “But there are also extraordinary people. For example, Deputy Dean Redmond and Senior Sister Primordial One attained high-dimensional minds in just a few millennia. I’ve cultivated for more than 10,000 years. Having been revived, I’ve decided to focus on the mind.”

“How so?” Yijiu asked.

“I plan on cultivating another volume of the Primordial Star Conjecture’s nine core volumes, ‘Darkness,’ and try out the Dark volume’s visualization,” Jane said softly. “In the past, I only used the Primordial Star Conjecture as a reference, but the abyss in Sovereign Moyou’s eyes gave me a new understanding of the Dark volume.”

“Dual cultivation?” Xu Jingming fell into thought.

“Deputy Dean Redmond cultivated many paths and even successfully grasped three high-dimensional powers,” Jane said. “Senior Brother Yijiu, aren’t you also cultivating two paths?”

Yijiu nodded. “That’s true. You’ve long cultivated Mirror Domain to the limit of Lv. 10, so it’s very normal for you to cultivate other paths. It’s just that your choice of the Dark volume surprised me.”

Jane’s eyes turned dark as he said softly, “Having seen the abyss in that eye, I believe the Mirror Domain is very compatible with darkness.”

Xu Jingming listened.

His senior brother had accumulated enough before cultivating other paths. He had just reached Lv. 10, and Light Rays was still far from the limit of Lv. 10, so it was naturally not suitable for him to divert his attention to other paths.

“Junior Brother Wu Ming.” Jane looked at Xu Jingming. “You’ve broken through to Lv. 10, so your high-dimensional traveling should’ve improved greatly, right? Are you confident in tracking Moyou?”

“It has improved quite a bit, but we won’t know if we can track him… until we actually do it,” Xu Jingming replied.

“Moyou has been assimilated by that pair of eyes, and his strength is still rising. You have to be careful,” Yijiu said. “Now that your strength has broken through, it shouldn’t be a problem to look straight at that pair of eyes. However, don’t fall into it. Once you are trapped in the eye and see the abyss from the inside, it will impact you for the rest of your life.”

“A lifetime impact?” Xu Jingming fell into thought.

“This is because seeing the abyss is a memory. Even if you are revived after death, you will still retain such memories,” Yijiu said. “For example, your Senior Brother Jane decided to cultivate the Dark volume after seeing the abyss once. I don’t know if this is good or bad.”

Jane smiled. “Have some confidence in me, but Junior Brother Wu Ming, Senior Brother Yijiu is right. It’s not suitable for you to see the abyss in the eye now. You can only barely maintain your rationality when your mental strength reaches Lv. 11. You won’t be affected only when you reach Lv. 12.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “Don’t worry. I know my limits.”

He knew very well who was stronger.

******

Less than half a month after Senior Brother Jane’s revival, a flat spaceship traversed the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector. In the spaceship was a Hellion team led by Sovereign Moyou.

The Hellion members were a little nervous.

“Sovereign Moyou plunders all the time. He knows that the mysterious guardian is extremely fast, but he still continues. He won’t die, but we will be the ones in danger.” These Hellion Lv. 9 Overlords panicked.

Xu Jingming’s extremely efficient interception made the Hellions almost give up on small-scale plundering.

However, Sovereign Moyou carried out operations again and again after he went crazy. His subordinates were very nervous every mission.

“It’s still the same rules as in the past. As long as one member dies, the other members can choose to retreat,” Sovereign Moyou said leisurely. His dark-red cloak covered his entire body.

The team members were respectful and didn’t even dare to look at Sovereign Moyou directly.

“Act according to the plan.” With that said, Sovereign Moyou was the first to exit the spaceship, and the other Hellion members flew out.

The large spaceship disappeared, and then small spaceships quickly traversed spacetime and headed for their respective destinations. Another small-scale plundering began.

…

What a bustling habitable planet. Sovereign Moyou didn’t hide at all. In outer space of an administrative planet with a population of more than five billion, a huge jade-green eye—spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers—appeared.

In front of it, an habitable planet with a diameter of more than 20,000 kilometers appeared minuscule.

Among the countless people on the planet, some happened to see the huge eye that transcended everything! Some didn’t see it because they were indoors or sleeping, but without exception… The moment this huge eye cast its gaze on the planet, all the lifeforms on the planet, including a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform stationed here, instantly collapsed and lost their consciousness.

Billions of people’s consciousnesses fell into the Nightmare World.

The huge eye blinked, and in three seconds, the consciousness of billions of people was obliterated in the Nightmare World.

Then, the huge eye disappeared.

…

“Let’s go.” Xu Jingming and Maxon received the mission.

Sovereign Moyou was too crazy; he didn’t hide at all. The huge eye that was hundreds of billions of kilometers long was discovered by the planet’s virtual world network, so the mission was naturally issued.

Xu Jingming brought Maxon and arrived close to 50 light-years away with just one Spacetime Travel attempt.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming took another step and entered high-dimensional space with Senior Brother Maxon.

In high-dimensional space, Xu Jingming spread out the immense power unleashed by Primordial Battle Armor #9, allowing him to observe space spanning a diameter of 1,087 light-years. Therefore, Xu Jingming was already very close when doing it from 50 light-years away.

“I see him.”

The space with a diameter of more than a thousand light-years was like a model. Nothing could escape Xu Jingming’s prying eyes.

Xu Jingming saw the silent planet and the hidden Nightmare World. Sovereign Moyou was patiently waiting for the human race’s interceptors.

“Leave it to me.” Senior Brother Maxon’s psychic force could naturally spy on high-dimensional space and the universe. From such a distance, he had already discovered the Nightmare World.

“Senior Brother, be careful.” Xu Jingming threw him out.

Senior Brother Maxon landed in the Nightmare World from high-dimensional space.

Huh?

In the Nightmare World, two huge jade-green eyes suddenly opened and stared at the white-robed elder, Maxon. “Maxon, you’re here again? Come, come on in. Please enter my eyes and see my current strength.”

A huge eye enveloped an area spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers, making it impossible to dodge.

“You improved again?” Maxon smiled and took the initiative to walk in.

The moment he entered—

Boom!

The two parties clashed many times, and Maxon immediately erupted with terrifying flames. They burned in all directions, and even the abyss in the eyes collapsed from the burning. After all, Sovereign Moyou’s understanding of the abyss was very superficial.

“Comfortable, refreshing.”

The two huge eyes blinked a few times, and flames erupted in one eye. It lasted for a few seconds before cracks appeared in the burning eye and began to damage it.

“As expected of the number one Lv. 10 person in the Primordial Research Institute.” Moyou’s voice echoed throughout the Nightmare World. “Time’s up.”

His two huge eyes shrank and quickly shook off Maxon.

The two huge eyes crashed into the distance like celestial bodies, shattering the invisible cosmic seal. The Nightmare World easily fled again.

…

At this moment, in high-dimensional space.

Xu Jingming focused his attention and looked down, observing the entire process. When the Nightmare World fled, the Nightmare World fused into the universe and instantly traveled 232 light-years.

It’s still within my high-dimensional observation range.

The range of his observation exceeded 1,000 light-years, and the radius was more than 500 light-years. It clearly covered the Nightmare World’s range of escape.

Xu Jingming had already extended his hand. He could easily reach the area within his observation range.

His palm descended from high-dimensional space.

“Senior Brother Sang, it’s up to you.”

A huge illusory palm descended from high-dimensional space and enveloped the area where Senior Brother Maxon was. It scooped and threw!

Senior Brother Maxon was thrown more than 200 light-years away!

Whoosh.

Senior Brother Maxon didn’t resist and allowed the huge illusory palm to scoop up the area as if it were scooping up a small boat from the water before placing it in another area.

It took time to describe, but in fact, the scoop and toss only took an instant.

Huh?

Sovereign Moyou had just teleported to another area in space when he discovered a figure descending, still within the range of his Nightmare World.

“Wh—” Sovereign Moyou was surprised.

Maxon was thrown here again.

“Spacetime Cage, Void Incineration.” The moment Maxon descended, he didn’t show any mercy and attacked with his full strength. Under the cage, the flames burned, and the flames burned within the two huge eyes.

Escape. Sovereign Moyou didn’t want to waste time. As he resisted the terrifying flames, he fled as quickly as possible.

In high-dimensional space, Xu Jingming took a step and maintained a distance of 50 light-years from Sovereign Moyou, overlooking the entire battlefield.

His maximum escape distance doesn’t exceed 300 light-years. Xu Jingming quickly calmed down.

Sovereign Moyou tried his best to escape three times in a row, but Xu Jingming threw Senior Brother Maxon over every time. This also made Sovereign Moyou realize that escape wasn’t an option anymore.
