463: Just in Time

Under the cover of local powers, the powerful figures of the foreign nations arrived one after another, quietly entering the Divine Continent.

Before everyone had even arrived, Lu Li took the initiative and violently "shut down" the Huzhou Concession.

Upon hearing this news, the powerful foreigners naturally wished they could skin Lu Li alive.

The two had never met before, yet they already harbored deep hatred for each other—this is the wonder of fate.

Even without the Dragon Girl's pregnancy, the two sides would have had to fight each other sooner or later; this convergence of events was perfectly timed.

However, there are too many forces involved, and it takes time for the powerful to gather. The deployment of personnel during the siege and the distribution of spoils after the battle also need to be discussed in advance.

The four immortal sects, eight powerful nations, and the Governor of the Divine Continent were engaged in tense negotiations, giving Lu Li a brief respite!

For days, Lu Li has been undergoing the Lightning Refinement, racing against time.

He even stopped sleeping, enduring lightning strikes day and night, all in the hope of meeting the requirements for passing the tribulation as soon as possible.

If an ordinary person dared to do that, their consciousness would have been destroyed by lightning, leaving them in a vegetative state; no amount of cleverness would have mattered.

However, Lu Li had been baptized by the lightning of Blue Star. The lightning of just the right intensity not only made his Divine Soul extremely solid, but also gave him a strong adaptability to the will of heaven and earth.

No matter how many times Lu Li was struck by lightning, the damage to his Divine Soul was not fundamental.

If his health is 100, he can always maintain it above 50.

This resilience allows for the full expression of inspiration, amplifying its nourishing and coordinating effects.

As lightning struck repeatedly, Lu Li's Divine Soul, like stubborn iron placed in a forging press, grew stronger day by day.

On February 6th, as the sun set...

Lu Li followed the dark clouds to the vicinity of Lin'an, where he simultaneously unleashed two bolts of lightning on the Qiantang River.

He raised his arm to block it, and amidst the roar and crackling sounds, the arm of his spirit was blurred by the lightning, but it still retained its shape.

"Thunderbolt only dealt 11 damage!"

The cold, drizzling raindrops fell on him, but Lu Li's face was filled with joy.

My cultivation progress is entirely within expectations. If I get struck by lightning a few more times tonight, I'll be able to control the damage from the lightning to 10 tomorrow.

With the added support of Indestructible Will and a clear mind, one can truly fly into the dark clouds and enjoy a full-body massage from the will of heaven and earth!

Tomorrow is February 7th, which is exactly 5 days!

Thinking about the breakthrough that was just around the corner, Lu Li was naturally extremely excited and confident.

In addition to the various forms of assistance from their Mother Star, their Martial Arts cultivation has also improved under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

My overall physical fitness increased by about 5%, and the strength of my Indestructible Will will also increased by about the same amount.

A strong body also makes the spirit more robust and vigorous, and the life value of the Divine Soul is slightly increased.

Although it's not much, it does increase the success rate.

Based on a rough calculation, Lu Li felt he had a 50% chance of success.

It sounded a bit far-fetched, but he wasn't going to wait any longer.

The tempering of the Divine Soul is about to reach its limit. Unless one breaks through to the level of "Martial Saint", no matter how much effort is put in, the success rate will not exceed 60%, which is not very meaningful.

Nothing in this world is 100% certain. When it's time to fight, you have to fight, especially when the enemy is about to cause trouble.

Five days should be enough time for the immortal sects to make preparations.

"Then let's see who's more skilled!"

Lu Li took a deep breath, then soared into the sky to continue searching for the dark clouds.

The next morning, a warm sun rose majestically.

Overnight, the cherry blossoms in West Lake Flower Harbor Park bloomed in full glory.

"Kawazu-zakura, a hybrid of Oshima-zakura, only has a flowering period of 20 days."

The one who spoke at this moment was a woman dressed in a pink kimono and wearing a veil; she was none other than the Third Imperial Consort — Sasaki Ryoko!

She clearly knows a lot about cherry blossoms; she recognized the variety at a glance and even casually picked one to admire.

"The Imperial Consort truly has discerning eyes!"

"All the cherry blossoms in the garden pale in comparison to you."

Besides Shen Siyang, Sasaki Ryoko was surrounded by six Governor, including Jiang Shixiang.

They showered her with flattery, but the Third Imperial Consort remained unresponsive.

Suddenly, she removed her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, and looked towards the direction of Leifeng Pagoda.

A group of foreigners strolled over leisurely, admiring the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

The Third Imperial Consort nodded to them and said in Anglo-Saxon language:

"Good day, Marshal Hage, Marshal Xiafei, and General MacArthur."

These three individuals were powerful figures dispatched by the three great powers of Britain, France, and the United States; all of them were at the "Manifestation Grandmaster" level.

Shen Siyang and the other Governor dared not be negligent and quickly bowed and greeted them.

Marshal Xiafei from the Kingdom of Fa spoke in fluent Xia Language:

"I suggest we do as the locals do and communicate in the local language."

"Yes, that will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble."

MacArthur agreed to the suggestion, while Haig looked disdainful but did not object.

After all, so many countries came this time, and the diverse languages made communication difficult.

Elizabeth, Prince Yule, and others who accompanied her naturally obeyed her every command.

The powerful people of the Divine Continent are learning from Western technology, while the Devils are studying ancient Eastern civilizations, and they all speak the Xia Language.

The cultivation paths of the East and West in this world are only different in name; in the end, they lead to the same destination.

At this moment, four Magic Boat suddenly emerged from the clouds, their hulls bearing the prominent insignia of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect.

Marshal Xiafei said, "Our ally has arrived. Let's go and meet the rising star, Lu Li."

Next, a large group of people marched towards Jinling.

The two places are more than 200 kilometers apart, and it only takes about 20 minutes to get there, so there's no need to hide anything anymore.

At this very moment, on the Mount Tai Sect's Magic Boat, Su Qing was filled with horror!

[There are foreigners involved!]

[Four immortal sects, Izumo, and the three powerful sects of Eifa and Mei... a total of eight Manifestation Grandmaster! And more than 30 ordinary Golden Body and Manifestation!]

Su Qing was filled with despair: [It's over!]

I was just an outsider, not a direct descendant, and I found out too late; it was too late to remind the donkey.

[Even if there's no time, you have to try!]

Just then, their sect leader Liu Shan, was greeting three powerful foreigners, so Su Qing boldly activated the Jade Button inside her belly...

--

Lu Li also returned to Qixia Mountain at dawn.

Mission accomplished!

His face was pale, but his eyes were bright and alert, and he was in high spirits.

I was struck by lightning six times in one night, but I finally managed to keep the lightning damage down to 10.

Being able to do this, besides being able to adapt to the Heavenly Dao of this realm, also represents an increase in the strength of Divine Soul.

The expected goal has been achieved. Now all I need to do is get a good night's sleep and then face the tribulation of lightning.

"It's about to rain here!"

The weather in the entire Nanjing area is not very good; the sky is overcast, and there is likely to be a thunderstorm.

The Cultivator's Divine Soul will attract all the electrical charges within, causing it to transform.

Lu Li hadn't been home for four days. As soon as he landed in the yard, his wives came to greet him.

Xia Weiyin said, "Xiao Cha and I are about to break through to the Spirit Refining Fetal Breathing."
