Since the country believed him.
He had no reason not to believe in the country.
Besides, although it was only a theory.
Lu Li had actually cultivated before, and as he looked at the improved cultivation routes, nothing seemed out of place.
He even found them astonishingly ingenious.
He could only blame himself for not thinking of them before.
That was also why he dared to try.
"I've heard that in the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators have different levels of comprehension of cultivation methods."
"They're roughly divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, and peak."
"If the Five Elements Instruction the country sent back really can be cultivated, wouldn't that spare me years of struggling for enlightenment?"
"Would I be grasping insights already laid out for me?"
Lu Li's thoughts raced, and he saw the key at once.
Though he didn't know what level of comprehension this counted as, or even whether it could be cultivated.
But it told Lu Li outright that there was hope!
When his resolute words reached Li Yuanchao and the researchers through the jade pendant.
Everyone present was moved!
"Comrade Lu!"
Wang Zhiwen's graying hair trembled with excitement.
He hadn't expected Lu Li to agree so readily.
Alone in a foreign world, he had not the slightest doubt about his motherland.
That conviction was enough to move everyone.
"Comrade Lu Li, I respect your decision, but I also hope you'll be extremely careful!"
"Your safety is the most important thing!"
Li Yuanchao's voice followed.
It was full of concern and hope.
"Don't worry, Director Li. I won't be reckless."
"I'll try it carefully and record my cultivation experiences. I'll tell you how it feels the next time we communicate."
"Mm! Good. That way, we can help you more accurately and effectively."
"That's right! Comrade Lu, you must record your cultivation experiences in detail."
"Every piece of information you give us will be a tremendous help in our research into immortal cultivation civilization!"
Wang Zhiwen's voice was urgent. The old scientist, who had spent his entire life in research.
Had never been this excited and nervous.
If Lu Li really could cultivate the cultivation method they had improved.
It would undoubtedly be a milestone for Great Xia and its scientific research into immortal cultivation.
"All right, Academician Wang. I'll keep a detailed record."
"By the way, over the past seven days, I've compiled another report on the people and customs of the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, as well as recent developments."
"It's mainly about matters within the Azure Pool Sect, including the recent advancement of a True Person surnamed Bai to True Lord."
"There are also records of various bits of cultivation lore."
Lu Li had made considerable preparations this time to shorten the communication and reduce the risks.
He had prepared a letter in advance, recording everything he knew in detail.
He had even written about someone in the Azure Pool Sect breaking through to True Lord some time ago.
Buzz!
A faint light flashed, and the letter appeared on the metal table in the main control hall.
A staff member wearing gloves carefully took the letter away.
Before long, it had been converted into a detailed electronic document.
At that moment, Lu Li voiced a conjecture he had long held, with some anticipation.
"Director Li, Academician Wang."
"I'd like to know whether this jade pendant can transmit living things as well as objects."
"Comrade Lu, we can run an experiment first. Then I'll tell you the conclusion of our research."
Clearly, Wang Zhiwen had already conducted related research and made some conjectures during this time.
But the results seemed somewhat less than satisfactory. Even so, he still advocated an experiment.
Only an experiment could let him verify his research data more accurately.
"Someone! Prepare test subject number one!"
At Li Yuanchao's command, a white mouse confined in a miniature glass box was brought over.
It was quietly placed beside the jade pendant.
The white mouse crouched quietly, unaware of what it was about to face.
"Comrade Lu, wait a moment. Let us make some preparations here."
"Experimental data on living-body transmission is extremely hard to come by."
"All right! I'll wait."
Lu Li clenched his sweat-soaked hand.
He had long wanted to know whether the jade pendant could transmit living things.
If it could, that meant he had hope of going home.
And it might very well make travel between the two worlds possible.
Meanwhile, on the jade pendant's other side, all the researchers had gotten busy.
All kinds of advanced, precision instruments were trained on the fish-shaped jade pendant on the metal table.
"Reporting! Particle detector ready!"
"Reporting! Atomic force microscope in position!"
"Reporting! Gravitational wave detector ready!"
"..."
Once every piece of advanced, precision equipment was in place.
Li Yuanchao gave the signal.
"Comrade Lu Li."
"You may begin."
"All right."
Steadying himself, Lu Li held the jade pendant in one hand and increased the spiritual power he fed into it. As the light grew brighter.
He slowly reached his hand through.
A box-shaped object appeared in his hand.
He pulled it back.
Bang!
With a soft sound, a transparent glass box appeared before him.
But there was no sign of the white mouse inside.
On the jade pendant's other side, after the glass box containing the white mouse that had been crouching quietly inside was picked up.
The next second.
The glass box vanished into the light, and the white mouse fell onto the metal table.
"Did it fail?"
Looking at the empty glass box in his hand, Lu Li was slightly taken aback and a little disappointed.
But on the other end of the jade pendant, Wang Zhiwen's voice suddenly rose with excitement.
"Comrade Lu! Keep the connection open! Don't hang up!"
"Give us a moment to examine and calculate the data from what just happened!"
With that, the researchers hurriedly gathered the data from each machine.
Then they used a quantum computer to analyze and verify it all together.
After the research members of the 749 Group collectively reviewed it.
A surprising mathematical formula emerged!
"Hiss!"
"This jade pendant really might be capable of living-body transmission!"
"Hiss!"
Wang Zhiwen looked at the still somewhat rough experimental data, scarcely able to believe it.
But he hurried to report it to Li Yuanchao.
"Director Li, look. Although the transmission just failed."
"The various machines, especially the spatial gravitational wave detector, clearly detected an unusual gravitational fluctuation."
"Unlike those in material transmission, that fluctuation was weak, but in theory, as long as the power input is great enough-that is, there's enough spiritual power-it can be amplified!"
"In other words, living-body transmission is very likely possible!"
"What?"
"How much spiritual power would that take?"
Li Yuanchao was visibly stunned as well.
A passage capable of transmitting living beings... what it meant was simply terrifying.
The research team members made a rough calculation of the amount of spiritual power required.
"According to our calculations, the spiritual power input must exceed a threshold for a living being to be transmitted successfully."
"That is, an infinite amount compared to the living-body experiment just now."
"Of course, the 'infinity ∞' we're talking about here is only theoretical as far as the real world is concerned."
"In other words, it only has to exceed the limits of this world. To put it in terms used in Comrade Lu's world."
"That would be the legendary... 'immortal'!"
