On the highway, Lu Yuan drove forward.

In the trunk.

The Wordless Stone Tablet lay quietly.

Longhu Mountain was in turmoil, and everyone was extremely busy.

So when he left, he only gave a simple notification, and no one paid attention.

"It's August 10th now, about twenty days until the anomaly arrives, and the meteor shower in the suburbs of Wuzhou City should happen around the 20th. I should make it in time."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself. His next plan was to head to the farm he had previously purchased in the suburbs of Wuzhou City.

Within the meteorites lay the Heavenly Sword Embryo, a true supreme divine artifact.

It was also the last thing he needed to obtain before the anomaly.

Fortunately, Wuzhou City was not far from Shanghai City, so he could rush back as soon as he got it.

While planning, Lu Yuan turned on the car radio to see if there was any latest news.

But it was clear that information about the anomaly seemed to have been blocked.

All channels were as usual.

They were either reporting traffic conditions or playing songs.

Of course, there were also some scattered reports, such as a group of hikers discovering that their route up a certain mountain was longer than before, taking a full week instead of the usual two days, as if the earth had stretched.

There was also a village where the mountain behind it had suddenly grown much taller overnight, with lush vegetation.

Curious villagers who entered had disappeared without a trace.

Then there was the matter of Lop Nur.

Legend had it that this was once a marshland in ancient times, but after thousands of years of change, it had completely dried up.

However, not long ago, someone took aerial photos and discovered a sea in the area, stretching as far as the eye could see. The drone eventually lost contact and crashed, so there were no specific images.

Various strange incidents occurred one after another, but most of the news was fragmented and difficult to piece together.

Therefore, even if it made the news, few people paid sustained attention, turning their attention to the next hot topic.

"The closer it gets, the more variables there are."

Lu Yuan listened to the news and couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, he had prepared from the beginning; otherwise, it would be difficult to adapt to the new era.

Afterward, he turned off the news and focused on driving. It took seven to eight hours from Longhu Mountain to Wuzhou City, so he didn't plan to rest.

But strangely, Lu Yuan eventually found that the journey seemed to have become longer.

It was like the situation with that tour group.

Along the way.

Many vehicles had stopped on the side of the road due to running out of fuel, waiting for rescue.

However, Lu Yuan was well-prepared for this trip.

So after more than ten hours of continuous driving, he reached his destination.

"Boss Lu is really quick to act."

"You don't know, shortly after you bought my farm, a large company approached me, wanting to buy it at a higher price."

In a vast farm in the suburbs of Wuzhou City, two figures walked forward. One of them, a middle-aged man, spoke, "But I had already signed the contract with you then, so I refused them directly."

The middle-aged man was the previous owner of the farm. His surname was Zhang. He had dark skin and was not tall, but he looked shrewd.

"Even if Boss Zhang didn't refuse, you wouldn't have been able to sell this land."

Lu Yuan said, his voice very calm.

How could he not understand what the other party meant? But at that time, the ownership already belonged to him.

Now, he simply felt he had lost out and wanted to gain a little more.

"Hehe, what Boss Lu is saying. I was just joking. Come, let me show you around again." Boss Zhang, seeing through Lu Yuan's words, chuckled awkwardly. To ease the embarrassment and change the subject, he also regretted it in his heart.

He could have waited a bit longer and made a huge profit, but who knew it would turn out like this?

But it was too late to regret it now. The contract had already been signed.

The farm owner was now Lu Yuan.

The farm was not very large, about thirty to forty mu. After all, Wuzhou City was a big city, and even land in the suburbs was expensive.

Originally, the land was used for growing greenhouse vegetables and raising livestock, but the market had not been good in recent years.

So the owner gave up and decided to sell, and it fell into Lu Yuan's hands.

"Boss Lu, that's the villa I built myself. Although it's small, it's well-decorated. You can stay there if you have time in the future," Boss Zhang said, introducing many details. After all, the deed was done, so it was better to be enthusiastic.

Perhaps if he left a good impression on this Boss Lu, he might be considered for any profitable ventures?

Lu Yuan had already seen the house and nodded, thinking he could move in over the next few days.

Then he would quietly wait for the meteor to descend and retrieve it immediately.

Afterward.

Once the handover procedures were completed.

Boss Zhang left, as the remaining payment would be transferred to his account.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, tidied up the room and placed the Wordless Stone Tablet inside. Such an item was too precious, and it was better to keep it in sight before returning home, just in case it got lost.

For the next few days, he basically stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere.

However, he didn't forget to train and strengthen his physique.

The medicinal essence from the Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu had already integrated into his flesh and blood. What he needed to do now was to fully digest its efficacy.

This way, his physical qualities in all aspects would continue to improve.

It's just that.

During this period.

For some reason, Lu Yuan always felt that someone was around him.

But when he tried to search carefully, there were no traces.

At first, he thought it was just his imagination, but he later dismissed it. After all, his senses were now extraordinary, and to some extent, he could even sense danger. This was an instinct that arose after his body had developed to a certain level.

The problem was that even though he sensed something was wrong, he couldn't find anyone.

It was very strange.

"Boss Liu mentioned before that after signing the contract, a large company approached him, but they didn't succeed."

"Could the people I'm sensing be from that company?"

Lu Yuan considered this possibility but couldn't be sure.

If they were just ordinary people, they wouldn't be able to escape his pursuit within a limited range.

Unless they were Awakener-level individuals, but the anomaly hadn't happened yet.

It was impossible for such beings to appear at this time.

Also, if someone was nearby, what could their purpose be?

Could they also know about the Heavenly Sword Embryo gestating within the meteor?

Lu Yuan had many questions but no answers.

Finally.

He stopped thinking and chose to ignore it.

Regardless of the reason, when the meteor fell, everything would become clear.

So for the next few days, Lu Yuan continued as usual, rarely going out and hiding his strength.

Even though the feeling of being watched persisted, he paid it no mind.

Soon.

August 21st arrived.

According to his memory, today was the day the meteor would fall.

Lu Yuan had already prepared everything and was ready to act at any moment. However, suspecting he was being watched, he chose to lie low.
