Source essence is a treasure among the souls of all things, but most lives do not know how to utilize their own source essence and can only let this precious treasure disappear naturally as time passes.
The source essence obtained in the Exile Realm should be extracted from the target soul killed by Li Mu.
The total amount of a person’s source essence is fixed and cannot be regenerated once consumed. Only after it has been transformed into psychic energy will it have the ability to recover.
The fifth energy level is a process of transforming source essence into psychic energy. If one’s innate source essence is insufficient, they can only remain at the fifth energy level forever and cannot enter the fourth energy level.
Those poor guys often find out after a normal cultivation session that their source essence has not recovered and can only despairingly accept reality.
A single cultivation session that exhausts all the surface source essence of the soul would require at least seven days for the next one.
Li Mu took a breath, after killing Bushegaro, the source essence stored in the Exile Realm became abundant again.
His luck was good, after buying the Medical Hall, the shop refreshed the school needed for upgrading.
(Medical Hall: A place for healing the sick, with one physician and two apprentices. School: A place for transmitting civilization, with three teachers.)
The Medical Hall was an antique building, the physician and apprentices were old-fashioned, with two 13 or 14-year-old apprentices. The school was a primary school that Li Mu was very familiar with in his previous life, with a plastic playground and basketball court.
Li Mu ordered all eligible children to receive education at the school.
He returned to the room, calculated the time, sat for a while, and then stood up to open the door.
“Success?”
Li Mei sat outside the door with a rifle, saw Li Mu come out and yawned.
Li Mu pushed the scabbard and the long sword in his hand was stimulated by psychic energy and immediately emitted a scream.
“Easily captured.”
He would not naturally mention the fact that he was about to pee because of the pain at the time.
……
……
“Governor, why do I have to go to the Avonigarda Province?”
Li Mei, as a soldier, dared not disobey orders, but still had some dissatisfaction in her heart. She grew up in Xin Linfen, and really didn’t want to go to Avonigarda, dealing with people from Xingdu.
Moreover, she has never received any infiltration training, and is afraid of not completing the task well.
“Now the situation in Avonigarda is tumultuous and unstable. I am not at ease with Li Mu going there alone.”
The governor said, because Avonigarda is only separated from Eastern Xia by a fortified swamp, Eastern Xia has always been very concerned about Avonigarda.
Li Mu is just awakened with spiritual energy and his strength is only considered average among all the security officers. But in Avonigarda, there are no shortages of fourth-level security officers who were found hanged in security outposts.
Eastern Xia rarely has a talent who can penetrate the grassroots of the Xingdu Federation, and cannot let him lose for no reason.
Li Mei, as a talented person who mastered the second of the Seven Demon Calamities, and who will soon advance to the fourth level, can easily deal with ordinary threats.
And as a new generation growing up, neither the Xingdu Federation nor Raginbeard has any information about him, making him the most suitable candidate for the task.
The governor was silent for a moment, and with a swipe of her finger, opened a space and took out a file, handing it to Li Mei.
Li Mei took the file and roughly scanned it, her face couldn’t hide the look of shock.
“Has Eastern Xia been repairing the River No. 1 and the Kuiqi Mountain No. 1 all along?”
The River No. 1 is the flagship of the Xia Fleet of the Joint Intervention Army, a 120,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, while the Kuiqi Mountain No. 1 is a conventional-powered dock landing ship with a displacement of 60,000 tons.
The Xia people are aboard the fleet with the River No. 1 as the flagship to enter the Xingdu Federation.
“Yes, this decision was unanimously passed by all governors when we migrated here and has been ongoing for more than 300 years.”
“But wasn’t the River No. 1 and the Kuiqi Mountain No. 1 sunk by the family members long ago?”
Li Mei said.
During a major battle, the entire coalition fleet was sunk by seven Sun Kings from the descender clan. Although the descender clan also suffered heavy losses, the entire Intervention Army was stranded in the Xingdu Federation.
The existence of first-level within the descender clan is referred to as the Sun King.
“We secretly towed two ships from the seabed to the southern bay, and we have been trying to repair them,” the governor said nonchalantly. However, the towing of the ships has been ongoing, with interruptions, for twenty years and two second-level governors have sacrificed themselves in the process. To repair these massive vessels, the entire Eastern Xia has been cutting back on food and clothing.
Due to the fact that only a few people are aware of the plan, many Eastern Xians are deeply dissatisfied with the heavy burden.
Despite this, the repair of the River No. 1 and Kuiqi Mountain No. 1 ships is still proceeding slowly. Complex weapons of war like aircraft carriers typically require the support of a large nation in order to be built successfully.
Eastern Xia is a kingdom established by a group of exiled soldiers with a heavily imbalanced population structure, making it extremely challenging to advance such a complex and large-scale project.
In order to complete the technology tree, Eastern Xia has repeatedly invaded the Avonigarda Federation, but with limited success. Some governors have begun to oppose the continued investment of a large amount of resources in repairing the River No. 1 and Kuiqi Mountain No. 1 ships.
That is why the governor places such significance on Li Mu, as she provides the reason for the governor to convince other governors to continue advancing the plan.
“Once they are repaired, we can take everyone back to Zhu Xia!” the governor exclaimed emotionally.
“Why must we return to Zhu Xia? Isn’t the Eastern Xia we are building now good?” asked Li Mei, who was confused. To her, Zhu Xia was just a distant and unfamiliar place, and her home was the land beneath her feet.
It has been over three hundred years, and few among the new generation of Eastern Xians still have a strong desire to return to Zhu Xia. To them, this place is their home.
The governor felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
When the intervention force arrived in the Xingdu Federation, they did not bring many books. The River No. 1 originally had a small library, but all the books were lost due to its sinking. Now, the teaching materials of the Eastern Xians are all hand-written based on memory by the older generation.
“Due to the serious lack of cultural preservation, many Eastern Xia people are unaware of Zhu Xia.”
“I recall discussing with you the story of the Guiyi army. It was an event in the history of Zhu Xia, where Zhu Xia also had a military force that was stranded due to circumstances. Although there was a time of prosperity, it eventually perished in history and was eradicated by surrounding descenders.”
The governor wore a look of concern, deeply worried that Eastern Xia might repeat the fate of the Guiyi army.
The Eastern Xia population is small, and although they have the power of governors, they can overpower Avonigarda and even several neighboring states, but in the end, they cannot conquer the entire Xingdu Alliance, and even capturing and holding Avonigarda is difficult.
Even for those who are strong in the second level, life still has limits. She can feel it day and night, the pull from the sky is becoming stronger, and she does not know how much longer she can endure.
When the remaining war veterans from that time have passed away, the entire Eastern Xia may face the catastrophe of extinction.
She wants to see the ancestral homeland of Zhu Xia in her lifetime.
