Chapter 384: Simplified Origin Lifeform (1)

 

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, Xu Jingming had been in the Demon Vanquishing World for half a month.

During this half a month, he lived in seclusion in Cheng’an Prefecture’s White County and focused on cultivating the Demon Vanquishing technique.

“Uncle Qi.” In the morning, Xu Jingming instructed Wu Qi, “I’m preparing to set off for the prefecture capital! Help me find out if there are any caravans heading to the capital.”

“Alright, Young Master. I’ll ask around now.” Wu Qi nodded and immediately rushed out the door excitedly. Ever since he found out that his young master had become a Demon Vanquisher, Wu Qi was in the best of spirits; he was filled with vigor.

Xu Jingming stood in the courtyard and sighed to himself. White County is only a small county with a population of 200,000 to 300,000. I’ve been here for half a month and have toured the city several times, but I haven’t discovered any demons.

Demons were born from human obsessions after drawing upon the demonic aura of the world. In terms of probability, the higher the population, the higher the probability of a demon being born!

The prefecture capital is the largest city in Cheng’an Prefecture, and it has a population of millions. There must be many demons hidden, Xu Jingming thought.

Although there were many demons in the prefecture capital, it was relatively safe. This was because the prefecture capital had the most Demon Vanquishers.

Most of the people in Cheng’an Prefecture, be it the official Demon Vanquishers or the local Demon Vanquishers, live in the prefecture capital, Xu Jingming thought to himself. There are very few Demon Vanquishers in the county cities and rural villages. Once a demon is born in a rural village, it will be a calamity! As for the prefecture capital… Even if a demon is born, they won’t dare to act impudently. Therefore, most of the strongest families live in the prefecture capital.

From this point of view, although the Chen family was one of the best in White County, they were very ordinary in the entire Cheng’an Prefecture.

The Qi family that Xu Jingming wanted to visit was the strongest kind of family in Cheng’an Prefecture.

In half a month, I’ve become proficient in the Demon Vanquishing technique. It’s time to visit the capital and experience the so-called ‘demons,’ Xu Jingming thought.

This Demon Vanquishing technique… With a thought, Xu Jingming immediately mobilized the power of heaven and earth with his Dharmic powers. With his Dharmic powers as the skeleton and the power of heaven and earth as flesh and blood, it naturally condensed into a layer of starlight robe that was as thin as a cicada’s wing which draped over Xu Jingming’s body.

Dharmic Spell: Protective Starlight!

Xu Jingming took a step, and a blurry starlight afterimage appeared in the courtyard. When he finally stopped, seven Xu Jingmings stood in the courtyard, all of them enveloped in starlight.

The Demon Vanquishing technique is very similar to an Origin lifeform’s usage of Cosmic Force. The seven Xu Jingmings became one and stood still, sighing with emotion.

Origin lifeforms studied technology and researched the principles of everything in the universe. Then, they used Cosmic Force to use all kinds of methods. Cosmic Force, as the most basic source of energy in the universe, could evolve into everything.

For example, using a massive amount of Cosmic Force to construct a cosmic black hole.

For example, forming a Galaxy Annihilation Cannon with Cosmic Force.

Therefore, every Origin lifeform needed to spend a large amount of time on science. They had very high educational backgrounds! Only then could they push their bodies to evolve further and unleash even more terrifying means.

When Dharmic powers draw upon the power of heaven and earth, it’s like an Origin lifeform drawing upon Cosmic Force in an area spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, Xu Jingming thought. The Dharmic spells used are like technological moves—it’s just simpler. The requirements for the mind and consciousness are also lower.

Xu Jingming thought about the three Dharmic spells he had cultivated in the past half a month.

Yes, although the two Demon Vanquishing techniques—Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll and Great Sun Demon Vanquishing Diagram—contained many spells, Xu Jingming temporarily only focused on three of them because he had to go to the prefecture capital as soon as possible.

The first was a protective spell that every Demon Vanquisher needed to cultivate. Xu Jingming chose Protective Starlight.

Protective Starlight greatly boosted his defense and speed. This spell was divided into three levels: basic mastery, lesser mastery, and greater mastery. As one gradually gained a deeper understanding of this spell, the might of the spell increased, and the time it took to cast the spell decreased! When one reached greater mastery, they could instantly cast a spell.

In fact, the foundation of the Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll is Light Rays. The principles behind these spells can be found in the Light Rays volume, Xu Jingming thought to himself. Without studying the Primordial Star Conjecture’s Light Rays volume, even if I obtain this Demon Vanquishing technique, I can only emulate it. It won’t be possible for me to understand its essence. It’s not bad if I can cultivate it to lesser mastery.

As for me… Knowing the essence of these spells, I’ve already cultivated Protective Starlight to greater mastery in half a month, Xu Jingming thought. However, it’s only at greater mastery. I can’t transform the spell into a divine power.

As one of the top Demon Vanquishing techniques in the Primordial Research Institute, its standards were naturally high.

Those who could create the Demon Vanquishing technique from the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage were all top geniuses. To be ranked at the top among the many top geniuses in history… It was obvious that it was very impressive.

The so-called basic, lesser, and greater mastery of Primordial Research Institute were the most basic for peerless geniuses like them.

Protective Starlight. If I go deeper, it can transform into the divine power, Astral Divine Body, Xu Jingming thought. The complexity will increase a thousandfold.

For those who haven’t received the Primordial Star Conjecture legacy, the probability of them mastering the divine power, Astral Divine Body, is almost zero.

Of course, it was only close to zero. There would eventually be some geniuses who would take another path and figure out divine powers.

Even I need to spend time studying Light Rays. Only after gaining more from it can I have a chance of transforming Protective Starlight into a divine power, Xu Jingming thought.
