639 Incredible News
The old residence of the Xu family, Earth.
This residence, which was about 1,800 years old, was officially given to Xu Jingming by China when he became a cosmic lifeform. This was where Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao raised their daughter, Xu Lixing, and where Xu Jingming also became an Origin lifeform.
Even as Earth’s civilization grew stronger over the years, and even as the Xu family grew stronger, the status of the Xu family’s old residence remained unchanged.
Li Miaomiao had lived here for years.
As Li Miaomiao sat in the courtyard reading a projection of information, she couldn’t help but frown.
!!“Jingming has been gone for over a thousand years, and there have been many people with nefarious ambitions on Earth,” she said. “Of course, they would be tempted by the immense wealth of the Pearwood Group.”
Before Xu Jingming was imprisoned, he handed ten quadrillion to his wife. Although Li Miaomiao left the corporation’s matters to her daughter, it was ultimately the wealth her husband had painstakingly acc.u.mulated. Li Miaomiao kept herself abreast about the situation every day.
“When Jingming was here, everyone treated him as the greatest leader of the entire civilization! But now that he’s gone, they’re all using underhanded tactics.” Li Miaomiao was furious, but the Pearwood Group was too tied to Earth’s civilization, with most of its management coming from there. It was difficult for her to fight against the infiltration of ambitious people.
Suddenly, a voice sounded. “Miaomiao.”
Li Miaomiao looked up in shock to see a familiar man in a casual robe in the courtyard.
“How is that possible?” Li Miaomiao rubbed her eyes.
“Ma’am, you didn’t get it wrong. Master is back,” the guardian standing beside her said respectfully.
Li Miaomiao stood up, her eyes red with tears. “Jingming, is that you?”
She took a step forward and found herself in front of her husband.
“Yeah,” Xu Jingming said, reaching out to gently hug his wife.
The couple embraced each other.
It had been over a millennium since Xu Jingming had last entered Earth’s territory or seen his family, all because he had been corrupted by high-dimensional powers.
As Li Miaomiao inhaled the familiar scent and closed her eyes, she couldn’t help but wish for this moment even in her dreams.
“You’re finally back,” Li Miaomiao whispered. “How long are you planning on staying this time?”
“As long as I want,” Xu Jingming replied with a smile.
Li Miaomiao was surprised at her husband’s response. “What about your high-dimensional corruption?”
After grasping the Heart Realm Force, the true projection of Master of the Abyssal Void was no longer a corruption but an opportunity.
“It’s completely gone?” Li Miaomiao exclaimed excitedly.
“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded.
“That’s amazing, amazing news,” Li Miaomiao exclaimed happily. “I’ll call Dad, Mom, and the rest of the family. They’ll be thrilled when they hear this.”
Xu Jingming’s family had longed for this day, never truly believing they would live to see it. But now… Xu Jingming was back.
“Alright,” Xu Jingming nodded, his smile growing. “It’s time for our family to be reunited.”
During his years of imprisonment, nothing had been more important to Xu Jingming than the thought of being reunited with his loved ones.
Li Miaomiao immediately sent the news to their relatives, who lived on Earth due to the constant threat of a.s.sa.s.sination from their enemies. They would be able to arrive quickly.
…
Xu Lixing and her husband had their own place to live, and so did Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun. They were getting older and wanted their own s.p.a.ce.
In the virtual world, Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun were at a gathering.
“Fangjin, Biyun, have a good time today,” Miss Yunna said.
“Aunt Yunna, you’re the star today. Don’t worry about us,” Xu Biyun said with a smile.
Yunna smiled and nodded before chatting with her other friends, gla.s.s in hand.
Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun sat in a corner with some friends, chatting nearby.
“Look at that idiot from the Luoyun family,” Xu Biyun said, staring at a golden-haired, winged woman surrounded by people in the distance. “She’s so arrogant just because she’s engaged to Thirteen.”
“Thirteen and I used to be close,” Xu Fangjin said, shaking her head. “But ever since he got engaged to her, he’s kept his distance from me.”
“Thirteen is really clueless,” Xu Biyun remarked, sneering.
“Sis, I know you like Thirteen,” Xu Fangjin said with a sly smile.
“Shut up,” Xu Biyun snapped at her brother.
“Thirteen’s mom is a Level 10 Origin lifeform. He’s more talented than either of us and has a shot at becoming an Origin lifeform too. The Cloud City a.s.sociation also values Thirteen highly,” Xu Fangjin explained. “His engagement to the Luoyun family must have been well thought out.”
Xu Biyun scoffed. “Isn’t it because our Xu family has too many enemies?!”
“Sister Biyun, don’t let these insignificant people get to you,” her best friend said, trying to cheer her up.
“Bottoms up,” Xu Biyun declared, raising her gla.s.s.
Even though many influential families preferred to stay away from the Xu family and avoid getting tangled up with a maniac’s kin, some still wanted to be friends with the Pearwood Group. After all, a friend in need was a friend indeed.
Huh? Suddenly, Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun received the same message, and their faces changed as they read it.
They looked at each other in shock.
“We have to go now,” Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun said before going offline.
“What?” Miss Yunna noticed their sudden departure and was puzzled.
That little b*tch from the Xu family ran off? A golden-haired, winged woman at the gathering chuckled as she looked at a corner in the distance. Brother Thirteen is engaged to me. This little b*tch probably couldn’t handle it. Hmph, get it in your head. See how the Xu family’s reputation compares to the Luoyun family’s.
After going offline, Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun used their biological battle armor to travel to the old residence of the Xu family.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Upon arriving, they saw Xu Hong and his wife walking through the open door of the residence.
“Great-grandpa, great-grandmother,” Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun called out.
“h.e.l.lo, Little Fangjin, Little Biyun.” Xu Hong and his wife smiled. “Come over quickly.”
Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun followed them inside excitedly. Inside, they saw their mother, Xu Lixing, embracing a man and crying and laughing at the same time.
“Dad, Dad,” Xu Lixing sobbed as she hugged her father, her tears drenching his clothes.
“Lixing.”
Xu Jingming always had his daughter on his mind. He looked up and saw his parents and his two grandchildren.
“Jingming, it’s been more than a thousand years. You’re finally back,” Mr. and Mrs. Xu exclaimed with joy.
Soon, Li Chen’an, his wife, and Grandpa Xu arrived, and the entire family was filled with excitement.
Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun stood in the corner, their nerves on edge as they remembered the tales of their grandfather, a man rumored to have killed countless families without a single victim daring to protest.
It was said that he eventually went mad and was imprisoned.
“You must be Fangjin and Biyun,” Xu Jingming finally addressed his grandchildren.
“Grandpa,” the two of them stepped forward in unison.
Xu Lixing and Meng Tian watched the scene with smiles on their faces.
“If I’m not mistaken, the two of you should be over 300 years old, correct?” Xu Jingming gazed at the pair.
“Yes, Grandpa.” Fangjin and Biyun nodded.
“You’re not married and don’t have children?” Xu Jingming inquired.
The two shook their heads in response.
Xu Jingming grinned at his wife, Li Miaomiao. “Miaomiao and I only have one child, Lixing. Lixing and her husband only have you two… We need more people in the Xu family.”
“But brother has a girlfriend,” Xu Biyun interjected. “They’re really close. It’s just that she had to go with her family to the Ancient River Cosmic Sector, and Brother can’t leave Earth. They haven’t seen each other in person.”
Xu Fangjin glared at his sister, and Xu Biyun pretended to be innocent.
“Well then, why don’t you go visit the Ancient River Cosmic Sector?” Xu Jingming suggested. “It’s easy to travel between the 34 cosmic sectors these days.”
“Mom is worried about a.s.sa.s.sins though,” Xu Biyun added.
Xu Jingming nodded, understanding that it was likely due to the trouble he caused during his corruption.
“Your grandfather has given you permission to leave, but you must each bring a Guardian,” Xu Lixing said.
Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun were thrilled. They had never left Earth and had always wanted to see more of the universe.
“Enjoy your adventure and don’t worry about danger,” Xu Jingming said, placing an invisible force on his grandchildren.
“Sir,” Meng Tian asked, “Earlier, you mentioned resolving the problem of high-dimensional corruption. Does that mean…”
Xu Jingming looked at Meng Tian.
As an Origin lifeform, Meng Tian would understand that resolving high-dimensional corruption meant grasping the source of the corruption.
“Yes, I am now a cosmic legend,” Xu Jingming confirmed. “I believe the human race’s officials will announce it today.”
He has really become a cosmic legend? Even as an Origin lifeform, Meng Tian was shocked.
Xu Jingming had become a cosmic legend after only cultivating for 1,800 years?
Redmond, who became a cosmic legend after 10,000 years, had caused a stir in the human race and was believed to have a high chance of reaching the Paramount realm.
Xu Jingming, at only 1,800 years old, was much faster.
…
The news of Xu Jingming’s rise to cosmic legend status couldn’t be kept hidden, not with the Void Celestials able to find out right away. Thus, the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute updated Xu Jingming’s personal information and shared it with the cosmic human race officials, the three advanced civilizations, and all the Star Alliances.
“Did Wu Ming really become a cosmic legend?”
“He did, and in just 1,800 years! Plus, he’s attained third-realm high-dimensional powers!”
“Even though he was corrupted, he still became a legend in 1,800 years?”
The entire cosmic human race was shocked by this unbelievable news.
Anyone with any sense could see that Wu Ming’s talent was off the charts and that he was almost certain to become a high-dimensional lifeform.
“Even with corruption, he still became a cosmic legend in 1,800 years. The probability of him becoming a high-dimensional lifeform is practically a guarantee. I heard he almost joined the Galaxy Group back then. Find out why he wasn’t recruited!” The Galaxy Group management was also agitated by this turn of events.
A monster like Wu Ming rising to cosmic legend status so quickly after corruption was mind-blowing.
If he had joined the Galaxy Group, he would have certainly made a name for himself.
“A high-dimensional lifeform with Heart Realm Force will be on par with the three Paramounts in the future. What did the Galaxy Group miss out on?!”
“It’s a shame. I think he would have just been wasting his talent with us.”
“A monster like that could succeed anywhere. He might have ended up in the Galaxy Group!”
The higher-ups understood the full implications of Xu Jingming’s breakthrough.
A high-dimensional lifeform potentially equal to the three Paramounts was about to appear, and it would completely shake up the entire human race’s faction structure.
