Clear Roads in the Open, Cross the Rubicon in Secret

The other world was in a time of vast and sparsely populated land, with no shortage of desolate mountains and wilderness.

Lu Li randomly chose a deserted mountaintop, communicated with the Kunlun Mirror to activate [Cross-Realm], and returned to Blue Star with 18 puppets.

In the forest park located north of the capital of the Star Alliance Country, Lu Li and his group instantly appeared.

It was early morning here, and in the late autumn season, yellow leaves covered the ground, with the occasional squirrel leaping among the trees.

Activating the Heavenly Eye and looking around, I saw occasional vehicles passing by on the surrounding roads.

Lu Li twisted his facial muscles to change his expression, while simultaneously instructing the puppet to remain hidden to avoid alerting the enemy.

The Star Alliance Country must have prepared many powerful measures, and they might even have nuclear weapons.

Therefore, Lu Li did not intend to fight head-on. Instead, he wanted to first condense his mental image into a "Manifestation" and then unleash a powerful attack on his opponent after his strength had increased dramatically!

Even if we take a step back and assume that Lu Li the next level, he can simply walk away if the Star Alliance Country drops a nuclear bomb and return to the other world to continue developing.

"If two Grandmaster at the Golden Body Realm can perform nuclear fusion by hand, sooner or later nuclear bombs will no longer be a threat."

With a slightly strange-looking face, Lu Li arrived near the highway, intending to use his phone to go online and scout out the situation in order to formulate his next course of action.

Since his own phone was definitely unusable, Lu Li simply turned it off and isolated himself from the outside world with his mind.

The sun had not yet risen, the sky was still dark, and there weren't many vehicles on the road.

But those coming from the capital all returned fully loaded, laden with all sorts of dirty appliances, furniture, and other items.

Lu Li's ears twitched, and he caught the conversation of the people in the car, realizing that they were all going to rummage through the garbage in the ruins of the capital.

The earthquake caused by draining the Spiritual Vein is not due to plate tectonics, so its power is greatly diminished.

There are many ruins available for excavation, attracting people to come here to "pan for gold".

Lu Li didn't pay any attention and was just about to casually take out his phone.

But just then, a pickup truck that had just passed by him suddenly braked and reversed back.

"Yo~ Yellow-skinned monkey, is it yourself?"

Four black men were sitting in the car, pulling at their eyelids to make a squinting face.

If it were just a matter of insulting them, that would be one thing, but when they discovered that Lu Li was alone, they got out of the car and surrounded him with ill intentions.

The leader, a man with dreadlocks, pulled out a Beretta pistol, pointed it above his head, and shouted:

"You yellow-skinned, shitty monkey, accomplice of mutants, eat my black eagle!"

"Heh, interesting."

Lu Li's lips curled into a smile, and in a flash, he snatched the pistol into his hand.

He pulled back the slide, glanced at the bullet in the chamber, and said with a touch of nostalgia, "It's been a long time since I've played."

"Oh shit!! Run!"

The four black men reacted quickly, turning and running away. The one in the lead, with dreadlocks, almost tripped and tumbled on the ground.

Gunshots rang out quickly, with Lu Li firing back in the rear. He wasn't using any cultivation techniques; he was just playing around.

His formidable physique and coordination still make his marksmanship extremely formidable.

The magazine was emptied in two seconds, leaving three to five bloody holes in the target's back.

The four men writhed in pools of blood, staring at Lu Li with terrified expressions!

But due to massive blood loss and internal bleeding, they couldn't even utter a coherent sentence, only managing to mumble the word "Evil" before passing away one after another.

"He died after just a few shots; his bullet resistance wasn't great either."

Lu Li strolled back into the depths of the forest.

He didn't operate with his fingers, but rather used his mind to simulate electrical signals to control the system.

The phone automatically lit up and unlocked, then connected to the internet and searched for what Lu Li wanted to know.

He didn't even glance at the screen during the entire process; a large amount of information was quickly analyzed and transmitted to his mind.

The first thing Lu Li saw was the top trending topic on the Xia Country's internet. "Spiritual Qi Revival." Many netizens were making funny jokes and chatting, which made Lu Li smile knowingly.

The second most searched topic was "flying swords." Some science bloggers analyzed that the principle behind flying swords is "magnetic flight."

This was almost the correct answer. Lu Li found it quite amusing as he looked at the various guesses and analyses of the group.

But then, I saw a group of "reflective weirdos" making comments—

This superpowered madman has tarnished the image of all overseas Xia Descendants!

We should reflect on why such a heinous demon emerged among the Xia Descendants. This is the inherent flaw in our culture!

We all have a responsibility to crowdfund compensation for the losses suffered by the Star Alliance Country, and at the same time, urge the nation to bring the terrorists to justice.

"The ability to raise dogs remotely is truly impressive."

Lu Li sneered, "But I'm quite curious, if the dog's owner completely disappears, will the dog still bark?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly searched for relevant information about the Star Alliance Country:

[A White House spokesperson declared: We will spare no effort to bring the terrorists to justice.]

The government has formed Joint Special Forces to ensure that terrorists pay for their crimes in blood.

New Covenant City will become the new capital of the Star Alliance Country.

Upon seeing the last one, Lu Li's expression shifted:

"New Covenant City, the world's largest city, was the capital of the Star Alliance Country a long time ago... and it has that kind of landscape with large Spiritual Vein!"

Looking at the map on my phone, sure enough... it's near the sea, with a large river and a dense network of waterways around it.

In such a place, it's almost certain that there's Spiritual Vein, and it won't be small.

Lu Li instantly came up with a plan. "Let's go over there and see. If the Spiritual Vein is suitable, we'll break through there."

"The world's largest city, the Star Alliance Country certainly won't drop a nuclear bomb right away."

"And I won't confront them head-on; I'll use a 'feigned attack while secretly advancing' tactic!"

Lu Li pondered, letting the puppet cause destruction everywhere to attract attention, while he quietly upgraded himself, saving his strength to withstand the final moment.

Then, the Star Alliance Country and the Blue Star people will be able to witness the "Manifestation True Lord"!

With that plan in mind, Lu Li immediately led his team to "New Covenant City" in the northeast.

The journey was over 300 kilometers, but Lu Li didn't rush. Instead, he methodically refined the Life Energy bestowed upon him by the ladies.

The cultivation of the Innate Realm "repeated the same mistakes as before," using true qi to rebuild the previous realm.

Normally, one needs to follow a set procedure, but Lu Li is Out of Body True Master, giving him ample freedom.

He plans to first cleanse the spinal cord to provide ample protection for the brain.

And so, Lu Li and his group avoided the crowds and made their way toward their destination at a leisurely pace.

Besides his cultivation, Lu Li's mind was also busy, continuing to search for knowledge on his phone, especially regarding "Dark Matter".

The information on the internet is comprehensive; besides the known fact that Dark Matter is a major component of matter in the universe, there are also some interesting speculations.

"Dark Matter does not participate in electromagnetic reactions, but it resonates with the mind?"

Lu Li saw a popular science article that said "Dark Matter" cannot be observed and is not related to the real world.

However, it has influenced the human body throughout history through intuition, hallucinations, dreams, and other means.

The article goes even further and boldly to speculate that "Dark Matter" actually exists in four-dimensional space, which is why countries have spent so much manpower and resources over the years without being able to capture it.

"This is interesting..."

This article was somewhat whimsical, but Lu Li read it with great interest.

The combination of the miraculous "Spiritual Ear" during Qinglong's breakthrough is quite eye-catching and allows for analogy.

This is one of the benefits of a highly developed internet: any knowledge can be learned from and referenced.

Of the four essential elements —Wealth Companions Dharma Land— Blue Star is perfectly capable of fulfilling the latter two.

Lu Li believes that the knowledge, perspective, and ideas provided by Blue Star have been crucial to his success.

Hey everyone, don't wait up for my midnight update, go to sleep early.

I don't want to just go through the motions; I want to bring everyone an ultimate feast.
