Chapter 442: Journey to the Universe’s Apex (1)

Demon Vanquishing World.

Xu Jingming was having good food and wine at a restaurant.

Not bad. It’s crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Xu Jingming chewed on the meaty bone and drank another bowl of wine. The burning sensation rushed to his brain as it drew him extreme comfort. It’s great.

He put down the bone in his hand and suddenly fell silent.

He looked at the feast and saw that most of it had been eaten. Usually, Uncle Qi will drink with me and happily discuss the standards of this restaurant with me. But now, no matter how good the food and wine are, there’s just me.

After spending more than ten years together, Xu Jingming was already familiar with having Uncle Qi by his side.

Being alone, the taste of this wine and meat has lessened. Xu Jingming turned his head and looked at the people walking on the streets outside the window.

Uncle Qi had been gone for three days. Xu Jingming lived in the inn alone, ate and drank alone, and walked around the city alone. There was nobody to talk to or discuss with.

Even the food and wine he loved most became bland.

Whoosh.

A figure appeared beside the table—it was Gu Shan. He smiled and greeted, “Junior Brother.”

“Senior Brother Gu Shan.” Xu Jingming also smiled. “Have you refined that demon’s obsession?”

“Li Jinge is a demon who has broken through the limits of a Heaven Demon after all, so his obsession is very firm,” Gu Shan replied. “To refine his obsession, one has to accumulate experience over time before there’s some hope. Refining most obsessions of demons at this level meet with failure after decades. In the end, their obsessions dissipate because their time is up.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

It was also understandable. When he refined the Heaven Demon, Yu Xin, he found the other party’s obsession as immovable as a rock. He couldn’t see any hope of refining it in a short period of time, much less Li Jinge, who had an even more persistent obsession.

“Even if you fail, you will gain something,” Xu Jingming said.

“Yes.” Gu Shan smiled and nodded. “To have such an obsession, there’s naturally something to learn from. Oh right, Junior Brother, I’ve already released Li Jinge.”

“Released?” Xu Jingming was stunned.

“Yeah.” Gu Shan nodded. “When I mentally refine demons, I also gain something from fighting their obsessions. I’m now 100% confident in breaking through to become an Origin lifeform! I am already prepared to give up on the Demon Vanquishing World completely, so I decided to let him live.”

“He has great potential. Releasing him allows him to get more training; perhaps it will be beneficial to you in the future,” Gu Shan said. “Of course, you have to become a ninth-realm Demon Vanquisher before you can try refining him.”

“He probably only has a few decades to live,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “Senior Brother, do you think I can reach the ninth realm in a few decades?”

“That’s hard to say.” Gu Shan smiled. “You created a great divine power in just ten years.”

Of his junior brothers and sisters, Junior Brother Wu Ming was the most talented.

“I’m preparing to leave the Demon Vanquishing World permanently. Junior Brother, is there anything I can help you with?”

“There’s no need.” Xu Jingming shook his head. “Actually, I plan on leaving the Demon Vanquishing World too.”

“You’re leaving too?” Gu Shan was surprised.

“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded. “I think the Demon Vanquishing World will be of limited help to me in the short term. I haven’t been able to refine the Heaven Demon I captured. Perhaps I have to switch methods.”

“That’s true.” Gu Shan nodded. “Generations of Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms have figured out many ways to increase their mental strength. Although Demon Vanquishing World is recognized as the best method, that’s only in aggregation. If you want a targeted approach for an individual… perhaps other methods will have miraculous effects.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

Everyone was unique. The aggregated effects of the Demon Vanquishing World were very good, but what suited him best?

Did it have to be the Demon Vanquishing World? Not necessarily!

Since he was temporarily stuck in the Demon Vanquishing World, he could try another method.

“Have you thought of the method?” Gu Shan asked.

“There’s no rush,” Xu Jingming answered with a smile. “I’ll take my time on the evolutionary path. I have to congratulate you, Senior Brother. You’ve finally gotten what you wanted after a thousand years.”

“Hahaha…” Gu Shan laughed happily. “Yeah, I got what I wanted.”

He had sacrificed too much for this day and had waited too long.

Countless cosmic lifeforms in the vast universe were fighting for it!

Countless Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms felt despair because of this! They felt that Origin lifeforms were out of reach!

Even Tejano and some other scions with powerful backgrounds felt powerless to break through to become an Origin lifeform!

A powerful civilization like the Black Moon civilization also did its best to nurture evolvers throughout the civilization. They wanted to ensure that at least one Origin lifeform existed in every era.

“I had to conceal my identity for a thousand years.” Gu Shan sighed with emotion. “Only by becoming an Origin lifeform can I truly make it public.”

Xu Jingming nodded. He could understand.

He had only concealed his identity for over ten years, but his senior brother had done it for about a thousand years.

“Alright, I’ll make a move first. I’ll invite all my juniors after I break through.” Gu Shan got up.

“It’s a deal.” Xu Jingming got up to send him off.

******

Demon Vanquishing World, Cheng’an Prefecture City, Qi family.

Qi Chen was getting older, and his hair had turned snow-white. He was lying on a bamboo chair and reading when he suddenly noticed a person appear in the garden—it was the plainly dressed Xu Jingming.

“Brother Wu Ming.” Brother Qi Chen got up and said happily, “It’s been so many years. You’ve finally returned to Cheng’an Prefecture. I’ve been hearing news of you subduing demons all over Scarlet Cloud State.”

“Brother Qi Chen,” Xu Jingming said with a smile, “I’m here to ask you for a favor.”
