"The dean has returned. Follow fast," Secretary General Blacksky commanded as he and Xu Jingming shot through the sky.

The pair transford into beams of light, flying thousands of kiloters across the small planet until they reached a garden courtyard. A small, short-haired man sat in a chair, admiring the vibrant flowers.
"Dean." Blacksky bowed. "He's here."
Xu Jingming also studied the man in front of him.
In the past, when Xu Jingming had encountered the dean, he had seen consciousness carriers with awe-inspiring, transcendent auras. But upon seeing the dean's true form, Xu Jingming felt that the dean appeared ordinary; he didn't emit any aura at all.
Has he completely suppressed all of his aura? Xu Jingming wondered.
"Blacksky, you may go," the dean said.
"Yes, Dean." Blacksky imdiately evaporated and vanished.
The dean examined Xu Jingming. In his gaze, he could see Xu Jingming's growth over the past 1,000 years.
He couldn't help but complint Xu Jingming. "It's impressive that you've been able to maintain your true nature despite being tainted by Master of the Abyssal Void's power."
"I actually lost control," Xu Jingming said.
"You sensed that you were about to lose control and requested to be imprisoned." The dean shook his head. "This is far from losing control."
In high-dinsional space, the dean had seen truly out-of-control high-dinsional lifeforms. In comparison, Xu Jingming had impressive self-control.
"It's impressive that you were able to grasp Heart Realm Force so quickly," the dean praised. "Even though you're weak and young now, you have unlimited potential for the future."
Xu Jingming listened attentively, understanding that while he may be powerful among low-dinsional beings, he was still just a baby in the eyes of high-dinsional lifeforms like the dean.
"It took you 1,800 years to grasp Heart Realm Force," the dean continued. "Based on my experience, it usually takes five to six tis that amount of ti to construct a high-dinsional body."
Five to six tis the ti? Approximately 10,000 years? Xu Jingming wondered to himself.
Xu Jingming had grasped Heart Realm Force much faster than expected! According to the predictions of various factions outside, even if he spent 10 to 20 tis the ti constructing a high-dinsional body, it would only take 20,000 to 30,000 years! That's why people believed Xu Jingming had almost a 100% chance of becoming a high-dinsional lifeform.
For example, those who beca cosmic legends at 70,000 to 80,000 years old had slim chances of becoming a high-dinsional lifeform in comparison.
"You can't rush the construction of a high-dinsional body," the dean explained. "You have to be patient and take it step by step."
As he spoke, the dean flipped his hand, and a scroll appeared.
"This scroll contains all the known thods for the human race to construct high-dinsional bodies. Take a look and morize it," the dean said as the scroll flew in front of Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming looked at the scroll. It slowly unfolded in front of him, and it was 19 ters long.
Huh? 302 ways to construct high-dinsional bodies? Xu Jingming scanned the scroll in front of him, morizing all the high-dinsional information.
There were all kinds of high-dinsional body construction thods, so of which were almost identical with just a few variations.
It took Xu Jingming more than an hour to morize everything.
With a thought, Xu Jingming closed the scroll again.
"You're done?" The dean waved his hand and put away the scroll. "These 302 thods include those used by , Spaceti Island Lord, Eternal Tower Master, so passed down by human ancestors, and others we gathered from our travels in high-dinsional space."
The dean looked at Xu Jingming. "You should've realized that so high-dinsional bodies are similar with just a few changes."
"I did." Xu Jingming nodded.
"All high-dinsional lifeforms construct different high-dinsional bodies, depending on their thoughts and consciousness. What you need to do is find a thod that perfectly matches you," the dean explained. "Use these 302 thods as a reference if you need to."
"Okay, got it," Xu Jingming exclaid, excited at the prospect.
He had an epiphany over his high-dinsional body after seeing the 302 construction thods.
"And of those 302, two of them utilize Heart Realm Force. It's the most recent information we've been able to gather."
"I can't thank you enough, Dean," Xu Jingming said, grateful for the two construction thods that would be so helpful to him.
"Spaceti Island Lord and Eternal Tower Master worked tirelessly to bring us this information," the dean explained. "Spaceti Island Lord even brought us through the Mother Stream to distant locations to find high-dinsional lifeforms with Heart Realm Force lineage."
Xu Jingming was surprised by the efforts of the three Paramounts on his behalf.
"We are all mbers of the human race," the dean reminded him. "It's important that we stand united."
"Absolutely," Xu Jingming agreed, nodding in agreent.
"We've procured so items from high-dinsional lifeforms from the Heart Realm Force lineage," the dean announced, handing him a piece of beast hide. "It's a legacy called 'Three Threads of the Heart Realm', specifically designed for those of the Heart Realm Force lineage. While it only allows cultivation up to the Eternal lifeform level, it's still a strong foundation. The legacy also includes general cultivation information."
A legacy? Xu Jingming accepted the beast hide scroll.
"We don't have much understanding of the Heart Realm Force lineage, so we had to purchase this legacy. It's up to you to make sense of it," the dean continued, pulling out three more books. "These 'Heart Realm Exploration Guidelines' were written by high-dinsional lifeforms proficient in Heart Realm Force.
Heart Realm Exploration Guidelines? Xu Jingming took the three books.
"Exploring the Heart Realm is crucial for all high-dinsional beings of the Heart Realm lineage," the dean explained. "It's full of potential, but it's also perilous. Since the three of us can't enter the Heart Realm, you'll have to rely on yourself to navigate it."
"Thank you, Dean," Xu Jingming said, moved by the gesture. Without these guidelines, he feared stumbling into trouble during his journey through the Heart Realm.
The dean and the others brainstord ways to smooth Xu Jingming's journey.
Although the legacy was ordinary, it contained a wealth of knowledge. With these guidelines, Xu Jingming could avoid many problems.
"The most precious thing this ti…" The dean flipped his hand and revealed the most important treasure: a black flower bud. "This is an Eternal weapon of the Heart Realm Force lineage. It's called the Sin Flower."
"This is too expensive," Xu Jingming couldn't help but say.
High-dinsional Eternal weapons were already extrely valuable, but those from the Heart Realm Force lineage? They were even rarer, probably comparable to eight to ten ordinary high-dinsional Eternal weapons.
"A suitable high-dinsional weapon is crucial for a high-dinsional lifeform," the dean explained. "It can increase your strength in all aspects and enhance your ability to preserve your own life."
"Thank you, Dean," Xu Jingming said, touched.
He had gained a lot in the auxiliary universe, but the black flower bud called Sin Flower was a weapon that even the high-dinsional weapons Sanam had collected throughout its life couldn't compare to. The dean and the others had done so much for him.
"When you beco a high-dinsional lifeform, you'll be our most trusted ally in life or death situations," the dean said.
"I'll beco a high-dinsional lifeform as soon as possible." Xu Jingming nodded, sensing the dean and the others' anticipation.
"Alright, my mission is complete." The dean smiled at Xu Jingming. "We may not know about Heart Realm Force, but I've given you the legacy and so general knowledge. You'll have to figure out how to construct a high-dinsional body on your own. Take your ti."
"Work hard. Being a high-dinsional lifeform is a new beginning," the dean said.
"I understand," Xu Jingming said. "Oh right, Dean, I gained sothing from exploring the auxiliary universe."
With that, Xu Jingming distorted spaceti in front of him, revealing three black high-dinsional fruits.
"High-dinsional fruit?" The dean gazed at them.
"According to my understanding, if a Firstborn realm high-dinsional lifeform eats this high-dinsional fruit, their body will be able to reach the peak of the Firstborn realm," Xu Jingming said.
"Oh?" The dean was surprised before smiling. "Alright, I'll take it to study it carefully."
The three of them were at the peak of the Eternal realm. These three high-dinsional fruits were indeed only suitable for research and wouldn't be of any help to their strength.
"I've also acquired two high-dinsional Eternal weapons," Xu Jingming revealed, taking out the sword and armor. "But I don't really need them."
As soone from the Heart Realm Force lineage, he didn't have to engage in close combat. These weapons wouldn't do much for him.

Instead, it was the Eternal weapon, Sin Flower, that could boost Xu Jingming's strength in every way.
The dean smiled. "It seems you've acquired plenty from the auxiliary universe. Keep these weapons with you; the three of us don't need them. When you beco a high-dinsional lifeform in the future, you can use them to exchange for so treasures."
He could tell that these two high-dinsional Eternal weapons might be Xu Jingming's most prized possessions.
Xu Jingming gained an understanding.
"Dean," Xu Jingming said, pulling out a massive book made of 36 stone slabs. "I also inherited a legacy in the auxiliary universe. It's called Monhado."
"Oh?" The dean glanced at the rock book.
He had lived for a long ti and had worked with Eternal Tower Master and Spaceti Island Lord to explore high-dinsional space. Together, they were even able to fend off Gumo, who was half a step into the third realm. The three of them were considered powerful beings in high-dinsional space and had accumulated many treasures, resources, and legacies, so they weren't concerned with what the younger ones had gained.
"This legacy?" As the dean read through the legacy, his expression grew somber. Page after page of the stone slab was flipped open, and the more he read, the more grave he beca.
It took him 15 minutes to fully absorb the contents of the legacy.
"Monhado Xiong E?" The dean looked at Xu Jingming, noting the na recorded in the legacy.
"Yes, the owner of the auxiliary universe is known as Monhado Xiong E. It left this legacy behind," Xu Jingming confird.
"The best legacy I've obtained, along with Spaceti Island Lord and Eternal Tower Master, is a half-step third-realm legacy," the dean said wistfully. "The stronger a high-dinsional lifeform is, the less likely they are to reveal their complete legacy. Plus, these legacies cannot be copied, making them incredibly rare."
Xu Jingming nodded, thinking of the Red Lotus Fire he had obtained, which couldn't be copied either.
"This is the strongest legacy our human race has obtained for physique," the dean stated. "It will be extrely helpful to and Eternal Tower Master."
"I ca back to help you," the dean said with a smile. "Fate is a mysterious thing; you've turned the tables and helped and Eternal Tower Master instead."
Xu Jingming was overjoyed at the thought of being able to aid the dean and the others.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a simple robe appeared in the distance and approached them.
"The complete legacy of that monster?" he asked.
"A half-step third-realm legacy that is very complete. It perfectly combines the Abyss lineage and the Primordial Star lineage. Its body is the strongest I've ever seen," the dean explained, gesturing toward the rock book. "Take a look for yourself."
"That impressive?" Eternal Tower Master stared at the rock book before quickly sending his consciousness to his carrier and rushing over upon receiving the news.
While this legacy may not have been as useful for Spaceti Island Lord, it was still highly coveted by the dean and Tower Master.
"Tower Master," Xu Jingming greeted, bowing in respect.
"Hmm, not bad," Eternal Tower Master said, giving Xu Jingming a quick glance before flipping through the rock book.
