After giving instructions and entrusting all the trivial matters,
Lu Li cleared his mind of all distractions.
Calm your mind and regulate your spirit.
Nascent Soul Formation is a crucial step towards a higher realm.
Thorough preparation and complete focus are necessary before attempting it.
Adjust your entire aura and even your State of Mind to a perfect state.
Lu Li's eyes snapped open.
A glint of brilliance appeared in his eyes.
Looking at the three clusters of tiger bone essence floating in front of him.
He let out a soft breath.
Silently to myself. "Go!"
Once the thought was uttered...
The three clusters of tiger bone essence transformed into three streams of light, instantly entering his Dantian.
The essence enters the body.
It was like a blazing star of magma crashing in.
A surge of intense, violent tiger-like energy exploded within his Dantian.
It transformed into a scalding torrent, frantically washing over the meridians and Dantian.
Lu Li grunted, veins bulging on his forehead.
He suppressed the excruciating pain, using his powerful Divine Sense as a guide and the five elements' Spiritual Power as a furnace.
It was a difficult task to guide this unruly torrent.
It coiled thread by thread toward the perfectly round Golden Core in the center of the Dantian.
Every drop of essence that touches the Golden Core brings excruciating, tearing pain.
The tiger's fierce aura is sharp and piercing.
Although it has great nourishing effects, it is ultimately the bone of a tiger.
The thousand-year-old tiger demon possessed a fierce aura like countless steel needles piercing through it.
Piercing through Divine Sense.
Lu Li's body trembled violently, and cold sweat soaked through his blue robe almost instantly.
This is just the first glimmer.
The essence of the three clumps transformed into countless points.
Even more frightening is that its five elements are mixed.
Each point must undergo five stages of Spiritual Power refinement: the sharpness of metal, the vitality of wood, the nourishment of water, the tempering of fire, and the weight of earth.
Only then can one truly integrate into the Golden Core.
With each drop absorbed, the pain multiplies many times over.
Each instance was comparable to being subjected to the excruciating torture of slow slicing a thousand or ten thousand times.
The drawbacks of Five Spirit Roots were on full display at this moment.
The inhuman torture of breaking through the cultivation barrier alone would be too much for an ordinary cultivator to endure.
The excruciating pain felt like a million steel needles piercing my soul.
This pain was also extremely difficult for Lu Li to endure.
The Golden Core core trembled violently, almost collapsing.
Despite his wavering Divine Sense, he showed no intention of retreating.
"Retreat?"
How can I back down?
"The culmination of sixty years of hard work and aspirations of the Great Xia, the lives and fortunes of tens of thousands of disciples in the Dao Academy... all rest on my shoulders."
"What are these physical pains and Divine Soul agony compared to this?"
"How could I fall?"
"Give me... refine it!"
His thoughts roared like thunder, but Lu Li suppressed all his screams.
His eyes were bloodshot, yet he held fast to his spiritual altar with immense willpower.
He forcefully dragged the raging tiger-like aura, strand by strand, drop by drop, into the Golden Core Furnace.
The most brutal refining Nascent Soul Formation begins.
Lu Li secluded himself to Nascent Soul Formation, drawing upon the vital energy of heaven and earth.
The Dao Academy, however, did not stop working.
The Aerospace Law Warship became the central hub of the Dao Academy.
The Heart of Primordial Beginning took over overall coordination and scheduling.
Each banner master personally led their disciples to strip away, sort, and store the last trace of spiritual energy, minerals, Spirit Plant, and even the flesh and blood of Demon Beast from the Three Tiger Blessed Lands.
The rankings and values on the Contribution Heaven Ranking also began to rise rapidly.
Every day, some people make the list, and some people leave it.
The intensity of the ranking competition is extremely rare within the Dao Academy.
None of the cultivators had ever seen anything that so vividly demonstrated both strength and luck in real time.
Everyone was giving it their all.
All the disciples were enraged, wishing they could dig three feet into the ground.
Even the Cultivator Employment Hall was crowded with people, many of whom were local human slaves who wanted to join.
They want to exchange resources, secrets, and intelligence for contribution points, which can then be used to acquire new French armor and numerous powerful puppets.
While the entire Dao Academy efficiently harvested resources,
On the distant Blue Star, the Great Xia was also bustling with activity...
" Director Li, all resources have been received and registered."
"The leaders of all groups within Bureau 749, the Cultivator Administration Demon Management Bureau, the Chief of the New Army, and the heads of various private enterprises and organizations have all arrived at the main conference room."
Should the first national mobilization conference be convened?
Great Xia, Blue Star.
Inside the familiar command hall of Bureau 749.
Li Qingshan, dressed in a stand-up collar Zhongshan suit, watched as the last batch of grain Storage Bag were registered and put into storage.
His expression was incredibly complex.
He seemed excited, yet also speechless.
Fifty years have passed since the spiritual transformation began; this is the day that the Great Xia Dynasty has been waiting for.
After setting its centennial development goals, all of Great Xia's preparations were geared towards this day.
Unlike the slow research and development in the past.
Both involve consuming Blessed Land resources, and both aim to convert massive amounts of resources into combat power for Lu Li.
This time, however, there was no time for them to dawdle.
This time, the Great Xia will mobilize the entire nation.
Using the most efficient and terrifying Spirit Machinery industrial capabilities, a massive amount of resources will be converted into combat power to support Lu Li in the shortest possible time.
Starting from this point, there are thirty-six Dongting and seventy-two Blessed Land, one for each family, one by one.
The cultivation resources of the entire Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture were transformed into an epic-level strategic military buildup.
Only then can they hope to find a way out for Lu Li and the Great Xia in this era of great strife and chaos.
"Meeting!"
The words were spoken in a single breath.
Li Qingshan strode towards the Supreme Conference room of Bureau 749.
Inside the conference room, nearly a hundred people sat upright on both sides of a long table.
Among them was the head of the Cultivation Administration, who wore a Daoist robe but also tactical glasses.
A new military commander with the potential to become a general and an aura of formidable power.
There are also directors and senior executives from top-tier Spirit Machinery companies.
There are even professional professors from spiritual universities, and so on.
Each of these people is a pillar of the Great Xia's rise over the past fifty years.
They are among the top figures in the cultivation path of the Great Xia Dynasty.
It is one of the most prominent and dazzling existences on the entire Blue Star.
Such a gathering is unprecedented since the revival of Spiritual Qi.
All the unit leaders who were invited to the meeting at 749 were aware of the existence of the Imprisoned Dragon Realm and even the Southern Heavenly Gate Immortal Ascension Plan.
They even knew what they were about to face.
The mobilization order was issued nationwide several months ago.
When that day finally comes.
Everyone was extremely excited and couldn't help but chatter amongst themselves.
A leader of 749 Group, his eyes burning, whispered to the new army commander beside him.
"Old comrade, my two thousand Tier 1 fully automated Law Artifact production lines are all ready!"
"And you? How's your preparation going!"
"I heard the new army's equipment is more advanced than ours."
"Don't worry, my three newly formed Xuanjia brigades are all equipped with modular designs."
"With enough spiritual materials, Comrade Lu Li can arm an iron army in just one month!"
"..."
These words were whispered among the people in the conference room.
The group exchanged glances, but there was no fear in their words.
Only after fifty years of accumulation can we anticipate its explosion.
Thoughts and ideas swirled and collided within the meeting room.
Just as the discussion was getting heated...
The conference room door suddenly slid open.
Li Qingshan strode in, guarded by two guards whose auras were deep and clearly at the Late Qi Refining.
His gaze was sharp as lightning, sweeping across the entire room.
The noise vanished instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
There were no pleasantries, no idle chatter.
Li Qingshan's words were earth-shattering.
"Gentlemen, from this day forward..."
" The Great Xia Dynasty has officially launched its first nationwide metallurgical fusion!"
