I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 384. The so-called Manifesting Saint
Chapter 384: 384. The so-called Manifesting Saint
A Cultivator fusing with their Heart Image isn’t like "driving mecha," but a true "transformation."
At this moment, Lu Li controlled the airflow with his wings and maintained balance with his tail while paying attention to the coiled posture of his hind legs... He had truly become a Three-headed Demon Dragon.
He found the sensation quite amusing and grew increasingly familiar with his Heart Image.
According to the "Manifesting Saint Enlightenment Chapter," the Heart Image is the "Foundation of Protecting Dao," encompassing a majority of a Cultivator’s abilities, and must be thoroughly understood.
With an almost endless supply of energy available, this was a perfect opportunity!
Lu Li slightly closed his wings, maneuvering his massive body toward Brooklyn and Queens in New York.
The raging storm followed, moving into the city and instantly smashing countless buildings into pieces.
Even skyscrapers were scraped slanted, toppled, pulverized, disappearing into the storm.
Many unfortunate beings were screaming as they were swept into the sky, their fear and unwillingness to die transformed into "Evil Power" and absorbed.
Lu Li, driving the storm, became a "Cleaning Master," rapidly erasing entire blocks of streets, leaving nothing but broken walls and ruins.
Still, this was too slow. As the world’s number one metropolis, New York’s steel and concrete jungle seemed infinite.
Lu Li, lamenting the lack of targets, had three heads, each spewing Dragon Breath!
With boundless energy, the Breath was incessant, obliterating rows of buildings.
The columns of light from each exhalation were as thick as a minivan, spectacular to look at, but not dense enough, which lowered their destructive force.
Lu Li exerted himself to compress it until it was the size of a refrigerator.
All skills in the world come with practice, and after wildly spraying for a while, he gradually found some tricks.
Controlling the muscles in the neck to squeeze, while simultaneously altering the "Elemental Magnetic Acceleration" structure in the mouth to make it more compact.
With that adjustment, the Breath was now only as big as a basin, but its power was incomparable to before.
Not only did its speed surge to eight times the speed of sound, but its penetrative force also greatly increased.
After piercing through two skyscrapers, it still managed to deeply stab into the ground, creating an irregular pit as large as a basketball court.
This was certainly enough to kill a Great Grandmaster, and Lu Li was quite satisfied.
Of course, there was still room to improve his Divine Skills.
But one couldn’t get fat with one gulp; it was better to study and improve gradually in the future.
By now, New York had already turned to ruins, with storm tides causing the water to backflow and flood vast areas.
Two types of Divine Skills bombarded with immense power, but driving a force not his own certainly demanded an extra heavy price.
In just 20 minutes, three billion units of Evil Power were consumed by nearly half.
Evil Power, which greatly enhanced the capabilities of the Heart Image, was a strategic resource and definitely needed to be reserved.
Lu Li hurriedly withdrew the energy sustaining the storm, allowing the natural disaster to slowly subside.
The size of the Heart Image returned to normal, only a few meters larger than before.
Borrowed power was, after all, temporary; only when Cultivation improved would the power truly belong to him.
At this moment, Lu Li took a deep breath, preparing to bring this breakthrough to a perfect end.
Previously, during "Soul Emergence," there was an emphasis on being able to emerge and retract.
The Divine Soul must not only be able to leave but also return to its rightful place.
Manifesting Saint was also like this; the Heart Image had to be controlled to "come and go at will."
Fortunately, the most challenging step, "from virtual to real," had been realized, so returning from real to virtual naturally wasn’t an issue.
With a thought, Lu Li withdrew part of his own Spirit from the Heart Image.
Without the Spiritual Power to cling to, the "Dark Matter" composing the Heart Image’s body immediately reverted to its origin, no longer participating in electromagnetic interactions, becoming ethereal and elusive.
But the Spirit couldn’t be completely withdrawn; otherwise, the Heart Image would completely vanish, making its reuse quite troublesome.
Lu Li controlled it just right, leaving the Heart Image in a state of Half Manifestation, flickering in and out of perception.
Following that, like the Soul Returning, the Heart Image shrank out of thin air and moved toward Lu Li’s Yintang, returning to the "Sea of Consciousness" from the Yintang Acupoint.
There it roamed and cultivated, similarly aiding in the expansion of the Sea of Consciousness, akin to the functionality of the Kunlun Mirror, but with only 1/20th the efficiency, barely noticeable in a day or two.
And the Heart Image, half-virtual and half-real, returned to the Sea of Consciousness, and the accomplishment of the Manifestation Realm was thus complete. Having attained such a powerful protector and Protector, it was indeed a joyous occasion.
But there was more to be done!
The opening of the "Manifesting Saint Enlightenment Chapter" states—only by clearing the mind can one resolve doubts and truly comprehend the Dao.
The ultimate goal of becoming a Manifesting Saint is to "Clear the Mind to Comprehend the Dao," and one must not fixate on the Heart Image, as that would mean losing sight of the true essence.
Lu Li stood frozen in place, his eyes lacking focus, as he was sensing his own Sea of Consciousness.
This place, deep and dark as chaos, was much like the expanse of outer space.
When the Heart Image was being condensed, it had manifested in the physical world as the mysterious "Spirit Space."
Especially towards the end, the effect of the "Accretion Disk" indicated that the "Spirit Space" was not an absolute illusion but existed in the same "half-virtual, half-real" state as the Heart Image.
Now, the "Heart Image" was swimming in the Sea of Consciousness!
The "Heart Image" had been born within that "Spirit Space," and its senses were exceptionally clear.
With its help, Lu Li instantly anchored that "Spirit Space"!
This was not a perception of mind or body but a cognition that crossed dimensions!
Lu Li immediately stirred his spirit and entered this "Spirit Space."
As before, this place was filled with dark matter. When it came into contact with spiritual power, it was activated immediately, emitting dazzling golden brilliance.
At that moment, a golden halo appeared behind Lu Li’s head.
This was the Sea of Consciousness manifesting in the physical world. Lu Li brought it under his control, and that was the true "Enlightenment."
"Spirit Refining cultivation indeed principalities the Sea of Consciousness," he reflected.
Although he hadn’t obtained the subsequent cultivation methods, Lu Li had a premonition—that he must transform this half-virtual, half-real "Spirit Space" into reality.
Clear the Mind to Comprehend the Dao.
Only then was the Manifestation Realm truly achieved.
Lu Li smiled sincerely, full of warmth.
But in the real world, the clouds were dense, and it was raining.
Although the storm had ceased, the resulting "storm surge" would last for quite some time.
The floodwater from the sea and the rain made the subway stations untenable, and the people inside ran out.
However, outside was a flooded land, and many were quickly trapped by the waters.
A group of Xiao Huangs huddled on some barely-above-water ruins, among them was Fang Qian.
She had been truly trapped by Lu Li’s actions, with her great abilities rendered useless in the face of the flood, and was on the brink of being swept away.
Besides her were stranded overseas Chinese and Xia Descendants, and her current role as a consulate staff worsened her predicament...
Fang Qian gritted her teeth, glanced in the direction of Lu Li, and took out a national flag from her pocket, spreading it out.
Five kilometers apart, Lu Li still saw it in one glance and recognized Fang Qian.
"So it’s her..."
Having met once before, Lu Li certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch her die, but his method of rescue was extraordinary.
His gaze intensified, and behind him, a half-transparent dragon head phantom appeared, the Half Manifestation of his Heart Image.
But it was much clearer and solidified than before, with far greater power.
Lu Li waved his hand, and the dragon head phantom bit onto the collapsing building, lifting it with a rumbling noise.
Though it was just ruins, at five stories high, it must have weighed thousands of tons!
This was the strength of the Heart Image, and Lu Li had just wielded it so effortlessly!
Refining God and Manifesting Saint, respected as "True Monarchs," "immortals," would their mighty power be negligible?
And so, a building was held aloft and gently placed before Fang Qian and the others.
The people were dumbfounded and stood stunned... until the floodwaters rose over their ankles, and they snapped back to reality, scrambling up to take refuge.
Many witnessed this scene, but what shocked them even more was the halo behind Lu Li’s head!
That was the "Body Light," the symbol of a Divine Soul!
