Condensing the Heart Aspect
As the saying goes: Your appearance reflects your heart.
To solidify the "mindset," one must first find the "true self" within consciousness.
Simply put, you need to know what your "mental state" is.
Tigers, leopards, wolves, flowers, birds, fish, insects... anything that's alive could be a possibility.
Dragons, Kirin, unicorns, Four Spirits are of course the most prestigious. Some people have even condensed the forms of gods and Buddhas, and they are hailed as sages descended from heaven.
Lu Li has already achieved "half-manifestation of the mind and appearance," and this step of pursuing one's true self and realizing that appearance arises from the mind is naturally incredibly simple.
With a wave of his hand, a three-headed phantom, two stories high, appeared on the seabed; it was a hazy, half-manifested "mind image."
The desire for freedom and liberation is an innate instinct of life.
The Three-headed Dragon, having been imprisoned for so long, naturally felt extremely stifled and kept opening its mouth to emit silent roars.
The two sides were originally one entity, Lu Li could clearly sense their resentment.
"Don't worry, you'll be out soon."
Lu Li immediately separated his Divine Soul from his body at the bottom of the sea, and another version of himself flew out from between his eyebrows.
After the eyes were dotted, the Divine Soul were fully revealed, looking exactly like the physical body.
From hair to nails to eyes, there is no difference whatsoever.
The Divine Soul is both a thought that leaves the body and a real entity that exists in the material world; it is the most suitable bridge to connect the mind with reality!
The next step is to translate this "mental image" into the real world!
Lu Li's Divine Soul and body closed their eyes simultaneously, communicating with his "Sea of Consciousness".
The Sea of Consciousness is the world of a person's mind. Even though it has been opened up by the Kunlun Mirror to be as vast as the universe, it has not affected reality in the slightest.
The physical body senses it for only a moment, but only on a physical level.
The Divine Soul exists between the mind and reality, and at this moment, it has perceived the Sea of Consciousness at the level of the mind!
"Connect, open!"
When the physical body and the Divine Soul drink at the same time, it is like the spiritual world of the universe and stars, using the Divine Soul as a bridge to communicate with reality!
Lu Li's physical body showed no reaction, but a pale golden halo suddenly appeared behind his Divine Soul!
The aperture diameter is about half a meter, and similar artistic designs can be found on the back of the heads of many mythological figures from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.
This is the manifestation of the mind in reality, but the Sea of Consciousness is deep and chaotic, Lu Li is somewhat puzzled as to why it is golden?
"It seems that some substance has reacted with the mind..."
Having no time to investigate this right now, Lu Li put aside his doubts and continued working on the matter of Manifestation.
The aperture emitted a strange attraction, and the "heart image" instinctively went towards it, its enormous body shrinking smaller and smaller until it disappeared inside.
The next second, the halo behind Divine Soul's head rapidly expanded, its color gradually becoming transparent, turning into a giant egg that kept expanding.
Lu Li recognized this sight all too well; it was the "Spiritual Ear" that Shen Si'ang had seen during his breakthrough.
Lu Li could clearly sense that his own "heart image" was growing and maturing within it, becoming more and more real!
"Just like a seed planted in the soil, eventually ripening and falling from the tree, no wonder it's called the Spiritual Ear."
Compared to eggs, it does resemble a "heading" of fruit more closely.
The necessary nourishment comes from the owner's spirit, requiring at least 20 days of continuous watering—a protracted and costly battle.
Lu Li's inner thoughts have already partially manifested, so it certainly won't take that long.
Moreover, he was right there at the Spiritual Vein; why would he leave such a divine object as the spiritual energy unused?
"Kunlun Mirror, extract spiritual energy, but at the slowest speed."
Upon receiving its master's command, the Kunlun Mirror immediately moved to the center of the Spiritual Vein, its surface aligned with the seabed, generating a tiny suction force.
The next second, a small crack appeared on the seabed, from which a burst of inspiration gushed forth.
These crystal-clear liquids did not react with their surroundings at all, and went straight into the surface of the Kunlun Mirror.
The scale was much smaller than before; the extraction was indeed slow.
It ensures that the planet will not be damaged and is also highly concealed to avoid being discovered by the Star Alliance Country.
Lu Li was very satisfied and manipulated the Kunlun Mirror to infuse his spiritual energy into his "Spiritual Ear" to promote the condensation of their hearts.
But it was, after all, a young woman's first time getting married, and she greatly underestimated the power of quick thinking.
As soon as this divine substance was poured into his mind, his mind immediately condensed into bat-like wings and thick, reverse-jointed lower limbs.
At the same time, its size also increased, causing the "Spiritual Ear" to expand rapidly like a balloon, and in no time its diameter exceeded 10 meters.
It will rise another 10 meters to exceed sea level, and it will continue to grow, so it will be visible sooner or later.
Moreover, on Liberty Island not far away, the Statue of Liberty began to creak and groan, as if it were about to awaken.
A group of tourists and staff members screamed in surprise, thinking it was due to the aging of the bronze statue.
"We need to start planning right away."
We must feign an attack on one side while secretly advancing on another. Next, we need to let the puppets peek out to attract attention and cover up the breakthrough we're making.
While his Divine Soul remained attached to the "Spiritual Ear," Lu Li was fortunate enough to be able to remotely control his physical body.
On a whim, he ordered the puppets to gather at the shore, and then he himself rushed there like a torpedo.
After getting ashore, Lu Li took out his phone, turned it on, and also canceled the mental block.
After turning on his phone, he first called Jessica, but as expected, her phone was already off.
Lu Li wasn't too worried. The two puppets he had left behind were functioning normally and hadn't consumed much energy, so they obviously hadn't been in battle.
Jessica's safety should be fine, it's just that the two sides are too far apart, at least 3,500 kilometers.
In addition, the puppet was just a regular model, so he couldn't focus his attention on the little girl.
"It's okay, you'll be able to live freely again soon."
As his power continues to grow, he will eventually crush his enemies under his feet, so Lu Li is not in a hurry.
He searched for Teresa online and found that she was safe and sound under her mother's protection, so he didn't bother with it anymore.
By now, Star Alliance Country should have detected this by now.
This was originally Lu Li's intention. He then logged into his Xia Country social media account and posted:
[New Covenant City is about to become a war zone. Unauthorized personnel must evacuate immediately, or face the consequences.]
It was a relief that his hometown hadn't banned his account. Lu Li handed the phone to Number 0 and then returned to the sea.
Concentrate your mind; inspiration is merely an aid, while the mind and spirit are fundamental.
Without a physical body, the spiritual reserves stored in the Divine Soul cannot sustain it for long.
Lu Li returned to wirelessly recharge his Divine Soul, and his remarks immediately caused a huge uproar!
Countless netizens from Xia Country left comments:
[The world's largest city! Times Square, Wall Street, even the United Nations headquarters are here!]
[God, don't forget the Federal Bank's underground vault; it contains over 8,000 tons of gold!]
[Stop it now! Surrender to the Star Alliance Country government immediately and try to get leniency.]
[Are you inhuman? You even dared to launch a terrorist attack! How many innocent lives will you harm?!]
[Fuck you monster!]
The scene was in complete chaos, but things remained orderly inside the "Green Pine" military base.
F35 fighter jet, ready to be deployed at any time, have already taken off and are expected to arrive within 15 minutes.
Multiple C-17 transport planes took off, carrying unmanned tanks, which will be deployed via airdrop.
Dr. Barick and his team arrived at the operations command center; a major show was about to unfold!
