After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Inside the base, the entire area was completely silent.

Everyone stared blankly up at the slowly spreading gap in the clouds, and someone made an unconscious swallowing sound.

Lin Chu withdrew his hand, feeling quite satisfied. The attack powered by the Humanity's Flame Technique was indeed much stronger than the Righteous Qi Cultivation Technique.

He turned to face the crowd below the stage, looked at the young faces still immersed in shock, and smiled: "You should feel lucky to have been born in China, to have been born in the best of times, and to be among the first to awaken and the first to be discovered and nurtured by the country."

"Your future is limitless."

So, keep trying.

The entire audience was silent for a few seconds, then erupted in thunderous cheers.

Xu Su watched in awe. He had always thought he had overestimated Lin Chu, but he found that he had underestimated him. Not only had he underestimated him, but the entire military think tank's assessment of Minister Lin would probably have to be completely overturned and rewritten.

The young man with the buzz cut stared intently at Lin Chu, his face full of admiration, almost as if he was about to rush up and ask for an autograph.

The small group behind him stood ramrod straight, looking at Lin Chu as if she were a deity.

Lin Chu offered a few more words of encouragement, and then walked out of the square with Xu Su through the side gate.

The two walked through several corridors and entered the core area of ​​the base. If the ground floor was the training and encampment area, then the underground area was the heart of the entire base.

The above-ground area is just the surface of the base; there are several underground levels. It has almost hollowed out the entire mountain. The elevator goes down nearly 100 meters underground, and each level has an independent energy system and protective facilities. Even the walls are reinforced with spirit patterns.

In the research area, weapons testing area, tactical simulation hall, and material analysis room, researchers in white coats were busy at work.

Lin Chu sighed inwardly.

As expected of the infrastructure powerhouse, they were able to erect such a complete base in just two months.

As he was thinking, his brows suddenly twitched slightly.

The speed of the Humanity's Flame Technique circulating within his body had increased several times over, and the energy gathering from all directions contained an extremely pure power, far surpassing its previous level of refinement.

Lin Chu seemed to be deep in thought.

Could it be that the luck bestowed by the awakened ones of Blue Star has some special bonus?

Before he could figure it out, the spiritual energy within his body began to surge violently.

I need to break through this barrier.

"General Xu, that's all for today. I have some business to attend to and must take my leave now."

Xu Su was about to take him to the next place when he heard this and paused for a moment: "Minister Lin, won't you stay a little longer?"

"Come another day."

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Su didn't ask any further questions and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll have someone drive you there."

"No need." Lin Chu waved her hand and turned to walk towards the base gate.

Xu Su followed behind him.

As soon as the two stepped out of the base's main gate, Lin Chu took to the air, transforming into a golden light that shot into the sky and flew towards Lutai, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Xu Su stood there, looking up at the direction where the golden light had disappeared. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he murmured, "When will I be able to fly like that?"

He then shook his head, turned around, and walked back to the base.

……

Shenzhen.

A flash of light appeared from the teleportation array behind the villa, and Lin Chu appeared.

Back at the villa, the living room was quiet.

Cangyao and Xiaoxiao were still handling affairs in the Dragon Court, and Ruoshui and Caiwei were also busy with their own things, so it was rare for him to be all alone.

I went up to the second floor and pushed open the door to the quiet room at the end of the corridor, which had been specially cleaned a few days ago.

The four walls are inlaid with soundproof array patterns carved by Cang Yao herself, and a spirit-gathering array is laid in the center of the floor, with dark blue light patterns slowly flowing in the array plate.

Lin Chu sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes.

The advantages of innate Dao foundation are fully revealed at this moment.

For an ordinary cultivator to break through from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Refinement stage, just breaking through that bottleneck requires a lot of time to repeatedly refine their spiritual power, and a slight mistake can even lead to a backlash.

As soon as Lin Chu activated the Humanity's Flame Technique, the spiritual power in his dantian automatically surged toward the threshold, and the bottleneck was as thin as a sheet of paper in front of him.

Two hours later, Lin Chu opened her eyes.

A powerful aura of Void Refinement surged forth from the quiet room, passing through the soundproof array, sweeping across the villa's outer wall, and spreading throughout the entire mountain.

Lin Chu looked down at her hands, slowly clenching and then loosening them.

This familiar feeling.

In the monitoring center of the Shenzhen Special Administrative Region Administration, a red alert suddenly popped up on the large screen.

The technician stared at the fluctuating spiritual energy curve, not even bothering to pick up the bread he was holding that fell onto the keyboard.

"Level seven spiritual energy fluctuation, no, level eight!" He suddenly turned around and shouted behind him, "Team leader! An unusually high-intensity spiritual energy fluctuation has appeared in the suburbs of Shenzhen. The source is singular, and it is determined to be caused by a breakthrough!"

The team leader walked over quickly with a cup of coffee in hand, glancing down at the flashing coordinates on the screen.

Then he put down his coffee and poked the technician on the back of the head with his finger: "Make sure you see the coordinates."

The technician blinked, zoomed in on the coordinates, and compared them with the markings on the map again.

His expression shifted from tense to blank, then to relieved, before he leaned back in his chair, picked up the bread that had fallen onto the keyboard, and stuffed it back into his mouth: "Oh, Minister Lin's villa, then it's alright."

The team leader turned and left with his coffee, muttering, "From now on, any alarms from Minister Lin's side will be marked green."

……

On the other side, deep in the Qinling Mountains of Daxia.

A cyan sword light pierced through the clouds and landed on an unnamed mountain peak.

The sword light dissipated, revealing a female cultivator from the Lingxu Sword Sect dressed in a green robe.

"Elder Zhou." The female cultivator bowed respectfully, her face deathly pale, her blue robe torn in several places, and her cuffs stained with blood that hadn't dried.

Her breathing was rapid and disordered, and her voice was still trembling as she spoke.

Caiwei turned around, her gaze falling on the female cultivator's tattered robes and bloodstains, her brows furrowing: "Why are you alone? Where are the other two?"

The female cultivator lowered her head: "Dead."

Caiwei frowned and took a deep breath: "Start from the beginning."

The female cultivator began her report.

Three days ago, she and two other junior disciples went to the southern mountainous region of the United Kingdom of Bharata to search for relics.

I heard that there have been several cases of villagers disappearing recently.

They followed the clues and entered a primeval jungle.

At first, everything went smoothly. Although the remaining demonic energy in the forest was strange, the concentration was not high. They judged that there were at most a few low-level demonic beasts, so they continued to go deeper.

Then two creatures, each about one meter tall, appeared, their appearance closely resembling that of bats.

The two junior brothers barely had time to react before they collapsed in pools of blood, lifeless, within a few breaths.

The female cultivator's voice trembled violently as she spoke, and a deep fear appeared in her eyes: "Then they... they pounced on them and devoured the corpse, not even sparing the primordial spirit."

Upon hearing this, Caiwei's face darkened: "How did you escape?"

"Burning my essence and blood to activate the secret technique." The female cultivator lowered her head. "This disciple is incompetent and failed to save my two junior brothers."

"It's not your fault." Caiwei was silent for a moment before speaking. "Go back to the camp and heal your wounds first. I'll investigate this matter personally."

The female practitioner bowed and withdrew.

Caiwei stood alone on the edge of the cliff.

They devour not only the physical body but also the primordial spirit.

These creatures have habits completely unlike the demonic beasts of the Xuan Tian Realm.

The water on Earth seems to be getting increasingly murky.
