It has been over a month since I was able to contact Blue Star.
This period of time was not long for Lu Li and Great Xia.
This has happened many times in the past.
But this time, though only a few months have passed, it is of paramount importance to Lu Li and the Great Xia Dynasty.
The moment the message was connected.
Lu Li's voice resounded throughout the command hall.
"Comrade Azure Mountains, I Dao Integration."
These eight short characters were like a thunderclap.
The entire command hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous applause.
"Splash!"
The crowd erupted in applause that lasted for a long time.
Everyone's face was filled with shock and joy.
It felt like my own mirror had been broken.
Even Li Qingshan couldn't help but clench his fist, his expression excited.
Dao Integration!
The first Dao Integration cultivator in the Great Xia!
The nation finally possessed advanced combat capabilities.
This is extremely important for Great Xia.
Amidst everyone's joy, Lu Li then spoke.
Each of his words was more shocking than the last.
"I also successfully won first place in the Immortal Seed Battle."
"Not only that, I have Dao Integration with the Dao Laws through the 108 principles."
"Several of these Dao Laws possess extraordinary power, and the Bone Mountain Supreme also revealed many secrets."
"The disaster in the Eastern Wasteland back then was related to the Ji Household..."
" The Ji Household will not tolerate the Dragon Fate... The Bone Mountain Supreme is willing to protect me, granting me thirty years to return to the Eastern Wasteland..."
Thirty years later...
Over the next half hour, Lu Li recounted everything he knew in detail.
This includes his own transformations, as well as the many secrets revealed by the Bone Mountain Supreme.
One by one, the stories filled the crowd with utter horror.
The relevant personnel quickly made a record.
Every word Lu Li utters will become the most crucial secret of Bureau 749.
After saying all this, Lu Li's tone suddenly became puzzled.
This reveals a crucial issue.
"Besides all the above... this time, upon Dao Integration, I discovered..."
The fish-shaped jade pendant has not undergone any further changes or advancements.
This is actually the biggest source of confusion for Lu Li.
After an ordinary cultivator enters the Dao Integration, their Life-Bound Law Treasure will be upgraded to a seventh-tier Spirit Artifact after being nourished by a large amount of spiritual materials.
Spirit Artifact possess a spirit, and can be used by cultivators who Dao Integration to engage in combat and spiritual practice.
This is one of the most important methods for cultivators who have attained the Dao Integration.
After Lu Li broke the mirror in the past, the fish-shaped jade pendant underwent significant changes.
The effects were also extremely useful to him.
It can even be of great help.
Lu Li had been looking forward to this for a long time, wondering what would happen when the fish-shaped jade pendant transformed into Spirit Artifact after he Dao Integration.
But to everyone's surprise, after successfully achieving Dao Integration, the fish-shaped jade pendant showed no reaction whatsoever.
"Comrade Lu Li, could the problem you're referring to be... insufficient supplies?"
"Are we running out of supplies...?"
What Li Qingshan said was also the reason Lu Li guessed.
Fish-shaped jade pendants are different from ordinary objects.
It possesses extraordinary inherent qualities and is a place brimming with vitality.
It also possesses the ability to devour spiritual materials and the Essence Blood of Demon Beast.
Ordinary Life-Bound Law Treasure require a large amount of resources to be infused before they can be upgraded to Spirit Artifact.
Not to mention the fish-shaped jade pendant.
Lu Li guessed that he would need to prepare a massive amount of resources to transform the fish-shaped jade pendant into Spirit Artifact.
"Although I currently have a sum of Spirit Stone, I need to prepare to bid for the Mahayana to deal with the Hundred Schools."
"I need to use the few precious ninth-grade spiritual materials myself, but the ordinary spiritual materials, including the ten portions of eighth-grade spiritual materials, can be fed to the fish-shaped jade pendant."
"I'm just afraid it won't be enough."
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Li roughly mastered the process of nourishing himself.
He didn't know how much resources it would take to upgrade the fish-shaped jade pendant to a seventh-tier Spirit Artifact.
But I still feel it will be an astronomical figure.
This matter cannot be rushed; resources are hard to find.
We'll have to wait for an opportunity in the future to find a solution.
"Comrade Lu Li, rest assured, the country will absolutely provide strong support for your promotion request regarding the fish-shaped jade pendant."
"The development of the Spirit Stone on Neptune has begun."
"We have installed numerous nuclear crystal hydraulic systems on Neptune."
"It can guarantee an annual output of at least ten million High-Grade Spirit Stone."
"In addition, the training bases on all other major planets in the Solar System have also begun to produce supplies stably."
"Considering all factors, even if converted to Top-Grade Spirit Stone..."
"Domestic production capacity can guarantee a minimum of 100 million Top-Grade Spirit Stone per year!"
One hundred million Top-Grade Spirit Stone is a sum for the Great Xia natives, Nascent Soul highest cultivation level is only the Nascent Soul stage.
That's already a remarkable feat.
In the past, the Nether Toad, a Nascent Soul Demon Beast, controlled the Azure Pool at a young age of only a million Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Now that we are both at the Nascent Soul level, the Great Xia has achieved this.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an earth-shattering act.
One hundred million Top-Grade Spirit Stone, if placed in the Bone Mountain Immortal Market, could potentially produce a Void Return cultivator.
Great Xia can supply this resource.
It's already a national effort.
However, for Lu Li, this amount of supplies is probably far from enough.
We need to think of other solutions.
"If we can conquer Hundred Schools upon returning to the Eastern Wasteland and unify the entire Eastern Wasteland..."
"Perhaps we can gather enough resources then."
Lu Li's eyes flickered; he had already made up his mind.
Taking over Hundred Schools is inevitable.
Back then, he was repeatedly ambushed and killed by Hundred Schools in the Eastern Wasteland.
Later, he was forced to leave Xingkong by Hundred Schools.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the two are sworn enemies.
He said he would definitely avenge this grudge.
Moreover, Bone Mountain has now explicitly told him that the Ji Household dislikes the Dragon Fate.
Those who knew he was Dragon Fate included only some of the Dao Court's subordinates and the Hundred Schools.
Therefore, no matter what, he must thoroughly settle Hundred Schools upon his return.
Discontent Hundred Schools the various factions leads to widespread calamity.
His movements also had to be quick and complete!
We must not let anyone escape.
"With the capture of the Hundred Schools and the supply of provisions from the entire Eastern Wasteland, the fish-shaped jade pendant will surely be able to advance to the seventh rank."
"I wonder what changes will occur in its effects once it actually advances to the seventh rank."
Lost in thought, Lu Li and Great Xia exchanged messages for a while longer.
The two sides discussed many subsequent issues.
This includes Lu Li's development after his status in the Immortal Pavilion was elevated.
And the meticulous work of dealing with the Hundred Schools of the Central Continent, and even the subsequent governance of the Eastern Wasteland, etc.
The communication ended only after the issues were clearly discussed and resolved.
Lu Li was also led by the Mahayana guard to a solemn prison.
Although it's called a prison, it's actually an illusionary formation teeming with magic arrays.
The Mahayana guard clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Li.
He then Hand Seals.
The illusion array in front of them suddenly changed.
Five figures appeared.
"Lu True Sovereign, these five are all sinful cultivators from my Bone Mountain Immortal Market."
"Perhaps it is because they violated the laws of the Immortal Workshop, or because their actions during the Starry Sky Calamity were exposed, or perhaps they are enemies of our Immortal Workshop."
"Ultimately, he was captured by the Supreme Being, placed under a spell, and imprisoned here."
" True Sovereign can take them all, and obtain the essence of the control technique, allowing him to control their life and death with a single thought."
As the Mahayana guard spoke, he gave Lu Li a detailed introduction to the cultivation levels and names of the group.
There's not much to introduce about his name.
Once reduced to a sinful cultivator, one loses the right to have a name.
They are only referred to by their criminal names.
"From left to right, these represent Bone Ding, the Early Mahayana."
" Bone Bing, Early Mahayana."
" Bone Yi, Middle Mahayana."
" Bone Jia, Late Mahayana."
" Bone Evil... Mahayana Great Perfection."
