After observing the formation's structure, Li Xingkong couldn't help but admire the formation designer's ingenuity. To combine these simple spells into such a large-scale protective formation truly demonstrated considerable skill.
The grand formation was almost finalized, and the completion ceremony on site had been underway for some time.
The speeches by the various important leaders of Divine Land have concluded. Now we have reached the most important step of the ceremony: returning the last key to the array to its proper place, thus completing the entire array.
This is a step that not just anyone can take; such an important step naturally requires the top leader to personally take charge.
The last small piece of the array eye was placed into the pre-laid foundation. After the array eye was in place, it began to emit a faint light curtain with the help of Magic Power. Then, with a tremor of the array eye, the entire light curtain rapidly expanded.
In a short while, it connected with the large array light screens in other areas, and the entire array's light screen flickered simultaneously, its brightness increasing significantly.
Within the light curtain, wisps of light rapidly Traversal along it, traveling along the entire edge of Divine Land, like a giant aurora atlas.
After the formation was completed, the biggest change was that its energy supply mode became fully operational. Normally, this formation covers the entire land of Divine Land, covering a vast area. Its efficiency in absorbing sunlight and converting it into energy is naturally higher than that of ordinary people.
However, this conclusion is drawn by considering the array as a whole. But when it comes to a specific point, its speed of converting sunlight is not as fast as that of a cultivator. This is why cultivators were needed to take care of the nodes when fighting the tsunami.
With the completion of the grand formation, the energy of the entire formation can be allocated. If one area is attacked and needs a large amount of energy support, the energy of other areas can be allocated to the corresponding area, playing a role in logistical supply.
As for the possibility of being attacked from all sides, that's practically impossible. Divine Land such a vast country that even if all the other countries united, they couldn't possibly make Divine Land vulnerable to attacks from all directions.
With the completion of the grand formation, everyone present was naturally incredibly excited. From Earth Star on, the entire Divine Land had a Great Wall protecting them from the era of cultivation. Originally, they were restricted by nuclear weapons, but now they could finally stretch outwards without any worries.
If war were waged without regard to losses or costs, Divine Land would have had the strength to wage war against the world ten years ago. However, the problem is that cultivation is something that is only in the hands of its own people. Moreover, as cultivation progresses and time is allowed to pass, the losses of its own people will be less after the war begins. Divine Land is clear about this calculation.
With the completion of the space dock, Divine Land now possesses the basic capability for asteroid belt mining. The various minerals on Earth Star are no longer very attractive to Divine Land. Currently, the greatest attraction for Divine Land from other countries has returned to the most essential thing – the land itself.
After all, building colonies in space is still quite costly. Earth Star such a large place with so many habitable sites. In comparison, unifying Earth Star is much more efficient than opening up new space.
After the ceremony, the rest of the event took on a more casual, dinner-like feel. Li Xingkong didn't show his face in front of anyone throughout, as he genuinely disliked the feeling of being watched by everyone.
Many of the food items on site were also differentiated. Most areas were open to both cultivators and ordinary people, but a small number of areas had restrictions on the food available only to cultivators.
These foods are mostly made from a new generation of spiritual plants researched in Divine Land. They have more or less auxiliary effects on cultivation, and the taste is quite good.
It's important to understand that while people in modern society eat very well, many foods that, despite the abundance of modern culinary delights, still taste significantly better than others, are actually toxic to the average person.
Take mushrooms and pufferfish, for example. They taste extremely delicious, but the toxins they contain can easily kill people and dogs.
After starting their cultivation, they dared to try these foods that were previously too poisonous to eat. And once they started eating them, many of the poisonous mushrooms that they used to pick and throw away became the favorite delicacies of the cultivators.
Moreover, in addition to the original categories of vegetables, meat, and fruit, minerals have also become a new category on the cultivators' tables, thanks to the crazy experiments of food enthusiasts among the cultivators.
Humans have actually been consuming minerals for a long time, such as mineral salts. However, other minerals are simply indigestible for the human body, which is why they haven't formed a large category.
Thanks to the popularization of spiritual practice, many foods that Divine Land People never dared to imagine now appear on their dining tables.
This even led to the creation of Divine Land's most popular food challenge show, where the producers seal several warehouses each episode and have the guests choose one blindly. Whichever warehouse they choose, they have to eat everything inside in front of the camera.
Li Xingkong tried all the food specially provided for cultivators. The flavors of these foods were much stronger than those of ordinary dishes, and the tastes were also very novel. Every dish was unexpected to Li Xingkong, but after savoring them, he felt that they were indeed delicious.
It has to be said that the Divine Land People are truly passionate about food; the development of their cuisine far surpasses that of cultivating spiritual plants and refining elixirs.
Just as Li Xingkong eating his way around and turned back to try some more of the chewy and spicy shredded mushrooms, several foreign reporters were stopped at the entrance of the cultivators' area.
"We are also guests, and we are entitled to dine here as well."
The reporter, who was stopped, showed his credentials, but the security personnel blocking his way did not budge.
"This is a private area for cultivators; ordinary people should not enter."
"Cultivators? You mean like superhumans like you?"
The man pointed to the cultivators patrolling in the sky and asked.
"Right."
The security personnel guarding the area nodded.
"This must be the secret to how they became so strong."
Upon hearing the security personnel's answer, the reporters surrounding them naturally began to suspect something. If it weren't related to the secret of becoming stronger, why would they be so vigilant?
This won't do. The food that turns them into Superman is right in front of them. Are they really going to miss out on it just because a mere security guard is blocking their way? How can they accept that?
So the reporters quickly came up with a plan.
The security guard was speechless. He didn't want to stop these guys, but if he let them in, they might just eat a bite of the cold mushroom salad and die on the spot. He'd be the one in trouble then.
