Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 529 - 410: Nine Beams of Light Arrive at Heng Mountain (2)
After a careful search, Lu Lin also found a demonic core that was obviously much larger than the one before.
Lu Lin still didn’t know what use this demonic core had, so he could only store it in his storage ring for now, and try to learn more about it later.
After consecutively killing two terrifying spiritual-strength monsters, Lu Lin killed another thirty on his way to Blue Star.
In total, Lu Lin absorbed thirty-two demonic cores of spiritual strength from thirty-two demon beasts.
Most of these demonic cores were about the same size as the one from the first strange bird.
Lu Lin speculated that these demon beasts should have relatively balanced abilities.
Perhaps they were even artificially created.
The people on the Starship wouldn’t have expected that, amidst the seemingly calm journey, they would be attacked by so many spiritual-strength demon beasts.
Inside the Starship, the various entertainment venues were still filled with the laughter and chatter of passengers.
Lu Lin felt indifferent after sensing all this.
He did these things not entirely for others, but more for his own self-preservation.
He even suspected that the existence of these demon beasts might have been around for a long time, but previously his strength was too weak, just like the passengers inside the Starship, he simply couldn’t detect them.
Truly, ignorance is bliss.
Meanwhile.
In a towering snowy mountain range on Blue Star, a deep voice echoed.
"Black Shark, is that you?"
"Are you finally going to take that step?"
But in this human-abandoned snowy mountain range, no living being could hear this deep voice.
On the Starship.
Lu Lin looked at the approaching Blue Star, a solemn look again appearing in his eyes.
Nine beams.
On Blue Star, there were actually nine spiritual power beams shooting straight into the sky, connecting Blue Star below, and above, connecting to the terrifyingly massive grindstone.
Streams of cyan energy were being transmitted to Blue Star through these nine beams of light.
Lu Lin wasn’t so naïve as to believe these beams were established for the benefit of Blue Star, for the benefit of the Human Federation.
This was definitely some powerful cultivator’s tool to achieve some sinister plot.
However, when Lu Lin tried to approach these beams with his spiritual strength, intending to sever them, he found he couldn’t do it.
The spiritual power beams seemed to be truly ethereal, even when Lu Lin used his trump card, the One-Eyed Demon Knife, he couldn’t damage or destroy them.
Lu Lin noted down the specific locations of these nine beams, planning to search thoroughly once he reached Blue Star to see what lay beneath these beams.
In his contemplation, the Starship, which had departed from Mars, safely landed at the Blue Star North Capital Aviation Center.
Bai Buyi, along with Fang Gang, left the Starship and told Lu Lin they needed to attend a conference and would meet him afterward.
Chen Xiran did the same.
She mentioned she had contacted a fellow student and planned to hang out for a few days.
After checking the schedule, they all agreed to meet Lu Lin in Tongyuan after Bai Buyi’s conference ended on June 5.
Lu Lin had no objections.
He took his mom and dad out of the aviation center and first went to North Capital to buy a car, an amphibious armored travel RV.
This time, Lu Lin intended to take his parents on a good trip around Blue Star.
For someone like him, a Transversal, aside from some sense of belonging to Green City on Saturn, every other planet felt foreign.
Only Blue Star, the beautiful Blue Star, was Lu Lin’s true home in his heart.
After buying the car, Lu Lin first took his parents to a famous roast duck shop in North Capital for a meal of authentic roast duck, celebrated for several years, and then visited the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, North Capital University, and the Great Wall.
Standing on the Great Wall, Lu Ping was noticeably more excited than the average tourist.
"Son, this is the great construction our Hua Xia ethnic group built successfully with manpower alone, without any machinery."
"Throughout the several thousand years of our civilization’s development and continuity, the Great Wall has always been our race’s guardian."
"Oh, I know."
Lu Lin, to be honest, didn’t quite understand Lu Ping’s sentiment.
In the Interstellar Era and now the Star Martial Age,
the concept of race in the whole federation had become rather blurred.
No matter what race you belong to, everyone is a Federation person.
However, the people of the Hua Xia race are not only industrious and wise but also have unparalleled talent in cultivation, be it for meridians, blood, the five senses, or other fundamental principles of cultivation. This isn’t something one can grasp just by understanding theory.
This deeply ingrained trait in every member of the Hua Xia race has gradually made the Hua Xia people dominant in the Star Martial Age over a thousand years.
The fact that all the eight initial Star Core Warriors were from the Hua Xia race is testament to this.
Moreover, key departments in the federation are also run by people of the Hua Xia race.
Even though that’s the case, Lu Lin couldn’t understand why Lu Ping remained so attached to the Great Wall, considering at least two thousand years separate the current age from the Interstellar Era.
"Hehe, Lu Lin, you boy, you just don’t get it, do you?"
Lu Ping laughed heartily, seemingly reading the confusion in Lu Lin’s eyes, and said, "Not scaling the Great Wall isn’t a true hero, that’s an ancient saying passed down in our Hua Xia race. You’re young, so you might not fully grasp it yet."
"Once you’re my age, you’ll understand what the Hua Xia ethnic group is, what the descendants of Yan and Huang are."
"This time’s travel on Blue Star, rather than accompanying us on a tour, I hope it’s more about reshaping your mental horizon."
"Shoo, shoo, old Lu, usually you don’t say a word, but now you’re speaking non-stop."
"Son, just do what you think is best, mom will listen to you."
Meng Yu said from the side.
Lu Ping didn’t mind being interrupted by his wife, just chuckled to himself.
When he was young, he joined Saturn’s battle forces and became a soldier.
During those years, he earnestly learned about the culture and history of the Hua Xia race from his captain.
Compared to those young ones who spend all day watching boring live streams, Lu Ping hoped Lu Lin would feel some sense of belonging to his own race.
But this wasn’t something Lu Ping needed to worry about.
Lu Lin was a person born under the red flag, naturally proud of his own race.
After spending two days in North Capital, Lu Lin and his parents drove to Heng Mountain.
Heng Mountain is one of the five great mountains of the ancient Hua Xia race, known as Beiyue Heng Mountain.
Before crossing, Lu Lin had visited Heng Mountain; he had a classmate from Hunyuan County near Heng Mountain.
There, Lu Lin had tasted the local famous Hunyuan Cold Noodles.
He wondered if he could still have it now, several thousand years later.
He went to Beiyue Heng Mountain mainly because one of the nine spiritual power beams he saw on the Starship was within Heng Mountain’s range.
Forty minutes later, Lu Lin and his family arrived inside the original Hunyuan County.
However, now there weren’t many locals residing near Heng Mountain.
It was just a tourist area welcoming visitors from across the federation.
After several days in the car, Lu Lin booked a hotel for a much-needed rest with his parents for the night.
Preparing to explore Heng Mountain the next day.
