I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 382 - : 382. Travel far away to plan for the future.

Chapter 382: 382. Travel far away to plan for the future.

What the immortals desire must surely be excellent.

After Lu Yao showed strong interest in the stone lion, the stone tablets and stone lions that had accompanied the people in the square for so many years were all packed and taken away under strict military guard, with only high-quality replicas left in their place.

Lu Yao had previously caused a sensation with the consecration of the Dragon Pattern Mirror, but had never imagined these large items would also be so effective.

This incident significantly raised the national standards for the protection of cultural relics and historic monuments.

And those 10 relics brought by Lu Yao were immediately appraised by a team of experts.

Among the experts who rushed over was an acquaintance—Elder Master Qi.

At this moment, Elder Master Qi was looking at the “Map of White Night,” with his hands trembling with excitement.

“This painting perfectly captures the majestic and vigorous spirit of the galloping horses, making it a masterpiece of ancient equestrian art. The annotations by emperors and scholars from various dynasties elevate it beyond mere painting, turning it into a national treasure that embodies painting, calligraphy, and seal engraving.”

“I never thought I would see such a treasure return to our country in my lifetime!”

Once such items are taken, they instantly become the prized possessions of other nations, with little to no chance of retrieving them.

And there were nine more priceless treasures like this!

Elder Master Qi and the others, filled with excitement, carefully examined these treasures one by one.

They couldn’t be more authentic, as the team of experts present couldn’t find the slightest flaw.

After they had finished the appraisal and left, the academicians from the Science Academy immediately took over the follow-up work.

To outsiders, these “offering vessels” now looked dazzling and maintained an unexplainable radiance, as if constantly being polished.

But even with the most advanced equipment and every effort, no anomalies could be detected.

Despite a clear visual discrepancy, the testing revealed nothing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the scientific researchers were busy, Lu Yao returned to the square to claim the stone lion, along with the wish power belonging to the Descendants of Yan Huang!

The entire square was cleared, with only Wang Guowei and a few staff members by his side.

But there were far more people behind the scenes~

At this moment, nearly a hundred psychologists were observing Lu Yao in real-time, assisting Wang Guowei in engaging with him.

“Mr. Lu, everyone is curious about how exactly you started on the path of cultivation?”

After the question was asked, nearly a hundred people watched Lu Yao’s micro-expressions through the big screen carefully.

“A life-or-death resolve, and a bit of luck. It would be almost impossible for others to replicate.”

Lu Yao responded while simultaneously performing soul travel, guiding the immense wish power descending upon the square.

He channeled it not only into the stone lion but also into his pipa, Lake Sword, and Dragon Pattern Mirror.

Wang Guowei paused, about to ask something else when urgent voices from the expert team suddenly came through his earpiece:

[Hold on, there’s some impatience in his eyes!]

[His attention isn’t on the conversation, it seems he’s busy with something, and it’s urgent.]

[Pause the communication! Avoid causing any displeasure.]

Wang Guowei immediately fell silent.

But then, everyone present, including the few staff members, felt an inexplicable surge of high spirits and fighting spirit—?

At this moment, they were so exhilarated they wished they could compete in a triathlon on the spot!

This phenomenon occurred precisely because Lu Yao had channeled the wish power exclusive to the Descendants of Yan Huang.

And this mighty spiritual power was inexhaustible, endlessly imbuing various instruments that had already been filled to the brim.

The stone lion, as a locally born “offering vessel” witnessing history, absorbed the most. It then became a “magic artifact” under the refinement of the “Yan Huang wish power,” second only to a magical treasure.

Following closely was the Dragon Pattern Mirror. Upon contacting the “Yan Huang wish power,” the Golden Dragon automatically manifested without the need for Mind Force, leaping into the air and emitting a resounding dragon’s chant that echoed through the heavens and the earth.

The pipa and Lake Sword, as “visitors from another world,” absorbed less, only 1% of what the stone lion received…

However, Lake Sword was still significantly stronger than the pipa, just as it was last time in the Star Alliance Country.

This piqued Lu Yao’s interest. The Lake Sword, clearly not as extraordinary as the pipa, showed a reversal in its capacity, hinting at a deeper mystery.

While they reveled in the wish power of Yan Huang, some experienced the complete opposite.

At that moment, around the edge of the square, some “international friends” were covertly observing the situation through various devices.

They came from different countries, not embassy staff members, then corporate employees, all with official identities.

When the Yan Huang wish power descended, these “international friends” felt somewhat uncomfortable and experienced rejection, to varying degrees.

And there were a few individuals who, despite their yellow skin, suddenly struggled to breathe and felt their heart rhythms destabilized.

They served the very minor allies of the Star Alliance Country and bore ill intentions. Sweating profusely and exhausted, they collapsed to the ground, quickly foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.

Lu Yao witnessed this scene and felt more confident about his plan, “The Descendants of Yan Huang are extremely repulsive to those with nefarious intentions! It will surely give the demon beasts from the Otherworld a good thrashing!”

At this moment, the mission was successfully completed, and it was time to return.

“Farewell.”

Lu Yao raised his hand and beckoned, and the Stone Lion shrank to palm-size and fell into his hand.

Afterward, the Golden Dragon, which had grown several sizes larger, roared and arrived, carrying its master away into the clouds, leaving behind a crowd with faces full of shock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Otherworld, Fragrant Hills Jingyi Garden, Lu Yao returned with three Spiritual Sparrowhawks.

“This trip back to my hometown has yielded a tremendous sponsorship! Next is to manifest the Divine by harnessing the power of the Descendants of Yan Huang!”

“But my Divine Soul has yet to materialize, and I can only borrow it temporarily like Hong Renkun, fortunately, the power is sufficient.”

“Can Elder Master Zuo, relying on the city’s defenses, delay enough time… ”

He hurried up the mountain, his mind constantly calculating.

As soon as he got home, the gentle and lovely Liao Ya came out to greet him, “Great, Junior Brother~ You’ve returned just in time! Elder Master Zuo has come to see you!”

The girl’s eyes, even in the darkness, were bright and clear as pristine water, filled with admiration.

Lu Yao embraced his graceful and beautiful senior sister. “I’ll go right over.”

It was the perfect opportunity to discuss delay tactics with Elder Master Zuo.

~~~~~~~~~~

In the main hall, Elder Master Zuo, dressed casually, was savoring tea.

He had taken the Life Creation Pill given by Lu Yao, but still exuded an aura of withering decay.

For a Golden Body Realm practitioner, the elixir seemed to not be as effective as expected.

At that moment, Elder Master Zuo’s brows were knit with an indissoluble worry.

Having contacted all the Golden Body Realm Grandmasters he knew, none had come to aid in the fight.

He couldn’t help but sigh deeply, “When a nation falls into decline, the first thing to crumble is people’s hearts, a truth that applies across all times and cultures.”

At this time, Lu Yao approached. He clasped his hands and bowed, “Elder Master Zuo!”

Elder Master Zuo put down his teacup and looked Lu Yao up and down before smiling approvingly, “You’re quite calm and collected, with good courage.”

Lu Yao replied modestly, “I’m just a greenhorn unafraid of tigers, nowhere near as committed as you are.”

Elder Master Zuo shook his head with a smile, “I’m but a bag of bones; even with your elixirs, I’ve got less than 10 years left. I might as well take a demon down with me to the netherworld.”

At that moment, the old man was detached from life and death, discussing the matter with casual humor.

Lu Yao asked, “The other Grandmasters, they really won’t come? Even just to boost morale…”

Elder Master Zuo sighed,

“They won’t come. Zhang Wenda and Zeng Bohan have ambitions of independence and care about their reputation, hoping to use the foreigners to eliminate the Royal Family; Yuan Kaisheng is ambitious and treacherous, so there’s no need to discuss him; and the other Grandmasters don’t want to attract the attention of the highest-ranking demon beasts.”

Lu Yao inquired, “The highest-ranking demon beasts? Aren’t Dukes at the top of the Golden Body Realm the most elite?”

“Above the Dukes, there are the Kings, and the legendary ‘Blood Ancestor.’ However, any surviving ‘Blood Ancestors’ are in slumber; the last one recorded appeared during the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan gained the essence of the Blood Ancestor’s blood, which greatly increased his cultivation, used the Heavenly Demon Form and Heavenly Demon Technique, overthrew the two capitals, and established the Yan state…”

Elder Master Zuo spoke at length, and Lu Yao listened with keen interest, feeling as if the history of the Otherworld was like a tale of gods and demons.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After a brief chat, Elder Master Zuo glanced at the sky and revealed the purpose of his visit:

“Your plans, young lady Yu Yanmei has already informed me. Such chivalrous and benevolent intentions are admirable. However, I’m here to persuade you to leave.

You’re still young and it would be a pity to die in such a desperate situation. It would be better to travel far away and plan for the future.”

As Elder Master Zuo spoke, he took out a book from his bosom, the cover of which bore the title “Essence of Dragon Subduing Palm”—

“I am willing to set an example for the world, to let people know—not all martial artists are afraid of death; not all those who govern in the temples of power are heartless and ruthless. This world, after all, still has hope.”

With that, he handed the book to Lu Yao, “Take my life’s work with you when you leave and keep a thought for our country. In the future, it will depend on you!”

Lu Yao didn’t bother with the book, but stood up and clasped his fists, “Sorry, I still want to give it a try.”

Elder Master Zuo earnestly advised, “Young man, you must understand that those who survive bear greater responsibilities.”

Lu Yao still shook his head, “If I run now, I’ll never be at peace. Don’t worry, I am not a reckless man. If I dare to do it, I must have confidence!”

Looking at the calm and confident young man before him, Zuo Jicun knew further words were futile, for he had been the same in his youth.

He handed the book forcefully into Lu Yao’s hands, cautioning him,

“Given your own extraordinary encounters and support… If that’s the case, I won’t say more. But remember—if things become impossible, don’t try to be a hero, just leave immediately!”

Lu Yao said solemnly, “I understand. In the coming days, please do your best to buy time! I need to draw on the wishes of all beings to momentarily borrow the power of Divine Manifestation!”
