Li Yao felt that the greatest burden in his heart had been lifted. He smiled and asked, "What about Lu Zui?"
"This is the second piece of good news," Professor Mo Xuan said. "Lu Zui has been arrested, and the expedition motion has been suspended. ≧ "
The files and evidence that Li Yao brought, especially Elder Nether Spring's memories, proved that Lu Zui's lies were full of loopholes. When the pictures of him commanding 'Hidden Star' to shoot the crystal railguns at thousands of people were sent to parliament, all the representatives and experts were greatly shocked.
Because of the special battlefront, many permissions of the Secret Sword Bureau were out of their control. They could even take the disciples of the sect away for interrogation without the permission of the leader. All they needed to do was to provide evidence and reports afterward.
But it did not mean that the Secret Sword Bureau could attack ordinary people randomly.
If the first shot from Hidden Star was an accident, the second shot was definitely intentional.
The incident had completely violated the boundaries of the Federation and the Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector.
Right now, Lu Zui had been officially arrested and was being interrogated by the other accomplices of the Patriots Partnership. The expedition motion had been suspended, too.
The news was sent to the Grand Desolate Plateau as quickly as possible. The troops stationed at the south of the Grand Desolate Plateau and preparing to march toward the Dark Desolate Domain all retreated to their respective defense areas. The troops that were conducting drills in the Dark Desolate Domain had to change their plans and finish the drills as soon as possible before they returned to the war bases in the rear.
In the meantime, regarding the peace document of the Pantheon of Demons that Li Yao brought back, the parliament of the Federation decided to send an investigation team to the Blood Demon Sector to investigate the local situation and get in touch with the Pantheon of Demons first.
More importantly, there was a troop of remnants of the Union Army in the Blood Demon Sector, which was the remaining troops of the 'Flying Tigers Legion' led by Han Tuhu.
The soldiers of the Heaven's Origin Sector had to be brought home!
"I'm planning to join the investigation team and go to the Blood Demon Sector!"
Ding Ling Dong rubbed her fists and said, "I was planning to look for you in the Blood Demon Sector with Wu Mayan. I didn't expect that you would come back on your own! However, I still want to see what the Blood Demon Sector is like with my own eyes. Also … Jin Xinyue, your third disciple, seems to be an interesting girl. I should get to know her better, shouldn't I? "
Li Yao broke out in a cold sweat. "Wh-what do you want?"
Ding Ling Dong smiled but didn't say anything. Behind her, Wu Mayan revealed a very miserable expression, as if being "intimate" with Ding Ling Dong was a very terrifying thing.
Professor Mo Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you two can talk about your private matters at home. I have a third piece of good news."
The third piece of news was truly a pleasant surprise.
The Speaker of the Federation, Jiang Hailiu, had awakened!
As an admin-type Cultivator, he did not have a high combat ability. After he was heavily wounded by the crystal bombs carefully prepared by Lu Zui, his body had almost been shattered. His brain had been seriously impacted by the spiritual waves and had been in a deep coma for a long time.
Before, Speaker Jiang had been receiving conservative treatment in a secret hospital not far away from the parliament building. Even the most brilliant Meditation Healers could not do anything about his dormant soul.
However, yesterday afternoon, when deafening roars were echoing from every street near the parliament building of the Federation, when hundreds of thousands of people were shouting Li Yao's name, singing the national anthem of the Federation, and roaring the battle roars of the Union Army, Speaker Jiang's brainwaves miraculously reacted!
Perhaps, when Li Yao's soul collided with the souls of hundreds of thousands of people and resonated with each other, the overwhelming force of resonance affected Speaker Jiang's soul, which was struggling on the brink of annihilation, too. It reminded him of his identity, his responsibility, and his destiny!
"While you were executing the Blood Stripe Virus in the parliament building of the Federation, Speaker Jiang woke up."
Professor Mo Xuan said, "The moment he woke up, he devoted himself to his work. The settlement of the incident of the Blood Stripe Virus and the suspension of the expedition motion were passed quickly because of his insistence."
"Excellent!"
Li Yao was overjoyed.
Speaker Jiang Hailiu of the Federation was an extremely calm leader. He would not be influenced by the frenzied atmosphere and his own feelings easily. If he was in charge of the situation, he would certainly be able to make the most correct choice for the Federation.
"Speaker Jiang has just woken up after all. His soul is still very weak. After working for six hours in a row, he entered the deep sleep state for treatment."
Professor Mo Xuan said, "However, before he entered the deep sleep state, he met with me and asked me to bring a message to you. It is exactly what I want to say to you. Welcome home!"
"Welcome home, Master!"
Wu Mayan shouted, too.
"Welcome home, my hero!"
Ding Ling Dong hugged Li Yao again and bit his face hard.
Li Yao finally could not hold back his tears any longer.
He was home. At this second, he was really home. He was home to his family, his family, and his friends!
The feeling of being home was ten thousand times more exhilarating than the feeling of entering the Nascent Soul Stage. Li Yao could not contain the quakes of his spiritual energy and his soul anymore. His brain was beaming with brilliance!
"You are so strong now!"
Ding Ling Dong immediately sensed Li Yao's changes. She poked his solid chest again and exclaimed, "What level are you at exactly? You haven't really … entered the Nascent Soul Stage, have you?"
Wu Mayan and Mo Xuan pricked their ears at the question, too.
A Yuanying who was no more than forty years old?
In the Heaven's Origin Sector, in the Flying Star Sector, and even in the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago, he was an out-and-out monster!
"I don't know how I should put it."
Li Yao scratched his bottom and sensed the expansion at the end of his spine. He hesitated for a long time before he said, "I seem to have entered the Nascent Soul Stage, but I'm still a step away from the real 'Yuanying Stage'. It's like …
"Let me give you an example. It's like you are pregnant for ten months and give birth in one day. In my case, the 'baby' has matured, but it is still inside the mother's body and has not been born yet."
Ding Ling Dong was somewhat confused. She puffed her cheeks and thought for a long time. "Is there such a thing? Other Yuanying Old Monsters have barely heard of such situations! "
Li Yao rubbed his belly and pondered for a moment. "Here's what I think. For most Cultivators at the peak of the Core Formation Stage, they are at least a hundred years old when they are about to enter the Yuanying Stage. Their life experience, thoughts, and worldview are all very mature. It's like a woman in her twenties or thirties who is pregnant. When the time comes, she will naturally give birth smoothly.
"But my case is different. I'm too young. Although I have enough strength, I'm still short of experience and worldview. My worldview is not mature enough, either. I often overturn my views in the past.
"It's too early for me to enter the Nascent Soul Stage right now. It's like a teenage girl who accidentally got pregnant. Her body is not ready yet. When the critical moment comes, she will have a difficult labor!"
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Although Li Yao's theory was absurd, it did make sense on second thought.
"Then, what do we do?"
Ding Ling Dong asked anxiously. "If the 'baby' can't be born, will it be dangerous? I know many experts whose capability will plummet after they fail to enter the Nascent Soul Stage. Some of them will turn into 'Fiendish Babies', 'Broken Babies', 'Devil Babies', and so on. There will be endless disasters! "
Li Yao scratched his bottom again. After hearing Ding Ling Dong's words, he also felt that the end of his spine was swelling and hurting. The 'Nascent Soul' was indeed dangerous.
Thinking carefully for a long time, Li Yao's eyes suddenly shone. He said, "I've recalled the situation at that time. Is this the key to the problem?
"I'm talented in both fighting and refining, but I'm more focused on fighting. Every time I made a breakthrough in a major level, I made a breakthrough in a fierce battle or even when I was almost beaten to death and had only one last breath left. That was the only time I could make a strong comeback!
"For example, on Iron Plateau, I grasped the mysteries of the 'superlative height of the Building Foundation Stage' after I was almost beaten to death by Yan Xibei!
"But this time, my opponent was Lu Zui. He was sordid and sordid enough, but I couldn't fight him! In the end, he surrendered the moment I condensed Yuanying with the reverberation of the souls of thousands of people! I didn't even move my finger. How could I break into the real Yuanying? "
Ding Ling Dong was greatly enlightened. "Got it. You're saying that you have to find someone who is good at fighting and beat you up so hard that you can barely take care of yourself. Then, you will be able to break into the Yuanying!"
Li Yao nodded. "That's a bit crude, but the principle should be correct."
"That's too convenient. Come on. Are we here or outside?"
Ding Lingdang rolled up her sleeves and spat into her palms. She was eager to give it a try. "I'm good at hitting people, and I like hitting you the most. Come on, let me ravage you!"
"Although I'm not strong enough, if you don't mind, I can give you a hand and beat you into a pig's head!"
Wu Mayan clenched his fists and waved them, too, with a solemn expression on his face.
What a joke. Beating up his master would be so satisfying that he was excited at the thought of it!
Li Yao coughed and shook his head. "How can it be so easy? Not just you, even other Yuanying experts won't be able to beat me up!
"It's not a matter of capability. It's just that I know that you won't really kill me! It's not a life-and-death battle. How can you trigger the full potential of Yuanying?
"The result is that I will be beaten up by you for nothing, and it won't help me improve my level at all."
Ding Ling Dong and Wu Mayan looked at each other in bewilderment. On second thought, it did make sense. It was like a battle in the Grand Illusionary Land and a battle in reality were two entirely different things.
It was impossible to raise a real warrior with the 'virtual reality system'.
"Then what do we do?"
Ding Ling Dong frowned. If the issue was not resolved, it would be a time bomb.
"Let's do it."
Li Yao scratched his head. Everybody had their own luck and path when it came to the Nascent Soul Stage. Other Yuanying experts could not give him much guidance, either. He had to count on himself.
He did not have any good ideas right now, but he knew that he could not be hasty.
'Yuanying' was essentially the purest crystallization of a Cultivator's will, thoughts, experience, and strength. Should anything go wrong, it would be detrimental to one's Cultivation in the future.
Lu Zui was one of the reasons why he had reached where he was today. Did he not know that he had mixed too much Dao into it when he was in the Nascent Soul Stage, which led him to deviate further and further until he completely fell into the evil path?
Thinking of Lu Zui, Li Yao suddenly thought of something. For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy.
After the improvement of his level, his intuition was much keener than before. Although he had not seen through many things yet, he could vaguely sense certain things.
"Where is Lu Zui? I want to meet him. "
