I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 541. Artificial Canal
Chapter 541: 541. Artificial Canal
Lu Li’s Spirit Realm had expanded to 500,000 kilometers, a fivefold increase in diameter, and naturally, his Spirit Power had increased to the same extent.
The condensed cloud face was astoundingly large, covering an area of about 100,000 square meters, while a soccer field is only 7,000 square meters.
Such a massive object flying in the sky was seen by anyone with eyes, and all were shocked and lost their color.
Especially the common folks with little knowledge who thought some demon god had arrived, were scared out of their wits, running and jumping in fear.
Fortunately, there were quite a few literate people who recognized the figure as Heavenly Master Lu, and they calmed the commotion with their shouts.
Upon hearing it was Heavenly Master Lu, many commoners hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
The Gate Valve Sects that Lu Li had previously eradicated were involved in drugs, human trafficking, and using living people as cultivation fodder, all of which were anti-human practices.
The insignificant commoners had suffered greatly from their harm and naturally were truly grateful to this immortal who eradicated evil and brought peace.
Those crafty with hearts and hands quickly sketched images on rough paper, and in no time a divine image was drawn, ready to be printed and sold.
No one was afraid anymore, they watched the excitement with great interest, even some Loose Cultivators showed off their knowledge:
"At first glance, Heavenly Master Lu’s Dharma Body seems to be made up of clouds, but it’s actually an external manifestation of Spirit Power stiring up the moisture in the air."
In this era, few understood what was said, and all had an expression of admiring the unfathomable.
At the same time, many high-ranking individuals were wondering what Heavenly Master Lu was up to.
Could it be that someone had displeased him again?
In an instant, every power felt insecure, fearing another descent of "Heavenly Fire" burning the world.
Under the watchful eyes of many, the cloud face arrived above Jiangdu and stopped moving.
This place was the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, resplendent and luxurious, but also a mix of mighty powers in a standoff.
These people were terror-struck at first, but then they each calmed down.
Having witnessed the Divine Skills of a True Monarch, they had long ceased their shady businesses, merely running gambling houses and brothels.
They followed the rules strictly, as all transactions were consensual and not as cruel and shady as before; they shouldn’t be deserving of a strike of "Heavenly Fire."
As everyone was on edge, Lu Li’s cloud face suddenly opened its mouth and spewed forth a stream of light.
This was an impact formed by Spirit Power constraining fusion energy, rather ordinary and equivalent to a basic attack.
But when employed by Lu Li, the power was extremely astounding, with the mere shockwave stirring up the ground and making it hard for people to keep their eyes open.
The people of Jiangdu hurried to see which family was destroyed, but then noticed the light stream’s target was not any power, but...
"The Grand Canal?"
The crowd was astonished to see that Lu Li’s attack had struck the famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
It was once the main artery connecting the north and the south, but due to environmental changes in modern times, the Grand Canal had seen its water flow shrink and become clogged with silt, bringing navigation to a halt.
"What is Heavenly Master Lu trying to do?"
"His excellency must have deep intentions, just watch quietly!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, while those with higher cultivation made their way to the front.
The next second, Lu Li’s giant face turned, and the sprayed light stream roared past that section of the canal!
All the accumulated silt and collapsed riverbanks were violently cleared away.
Water from the Yangtze River flowed backward, and the channel became instantly clear.
Witnessing this scene, the crowd shouted in amazement, "Is Heavenly Monarch going to restore the Grand Canal?"
Indeed, as they had guessed, Lu Li continued to spew light streams northward, clearing the segments through Huai’an and Jining, widening the canal to a span of 500 meters.
It’s notable that the Suez Canal’s widest point is only a bit over 300 meters.
Lu Li kept moving, spraying as he went, and after passing through Jinmen, he finally arrived in Beijing.
In just two hours, a logistical artery connecting the north and south had been shaped.
Lu Li finished the task and the massive cloud face slowly faded away.
The throng of people who had flocked there remained, still waving banners and cheering, ceaselessly burning incense and bowing.
The multitude of civil and military officials within the Imperial Palace naturally noticed the commotion and rushed over, gazing at the expansive Grand Canal before them with faces filled with astonishment.
Jiang Shixiang was the first to react, and he respectfully said to Xiaoyu:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The cost of water transport is only 1/15th of that by land, and there are no extensive maintenance costs. Heavenly Master Lu’s actions benefit the country and the people, gaining merit that will last forever!"
The others also came to their senses, rapidly offering flattery and praise.
They were utterly astonished and fully realized that the New Dynasty was no longer merely a mortal realm.
Those who had harbored ulterior motives quieted their banners and drums, no longer daring to entertain any improper thoughts.
As for Li Yuanzhong, Liu Jintang, Nan Jiping, Hua Ruoxi, and others, they naturally wore smiles on their faces, overcome with joy.
Xiao Cha gave Lu Li a thumbs up and praised, "Heavenly Master Lu has done a great job~"
Lu Li smiled and said, "It can be considered a way to give back to the realm of Shen Zhou."
It was because of Shen Zhou’s transcendent knowledge that he was able to grow to where he was now.
Seizing the opportunity of Xiaoyu’s ascension to the throne was just perfect to achieve a win-win.
Moreover, using his power for construction was also a unique experience.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After disconnecting the communication, a golden merit began to emerge in the sky.
The amount was very little, nothing compared to Blue Star, but Lu Li still consumed it all, and his mood became quite good.
It was then, accompanied by two resounding clangs, that the Flying Sword finally completely shattered its two opponents.
The Lotus Throne and Zen Staff had persisted for two hours before they could no longer maintain their structure and crumbled, turning into large and small "light blocks."
These were the essence of the Second Grade Magical Treasure, presented in white, with extremely high brightness, which even Lu Li found dazzling.
The Flying Swords rushed forward, fighting with each other to devour them.
Lu Li quickly raised his hand to stop them, then allocated according to the cultivation of each Flying Sword.
The battlefield changed in the blink of an eye; the six Flying Swords had different experiences and therefore different levels of cultivation.
Mountain Breaker, Painting Shadow, and Qing Shuang were in the first echelon, considered upper-middle Third Grade.
The several behind them, including Wanqing’s Blood Drink, were a notch weaker, only lower-middle Third Grade.
They were all his own children, so naturally, Lu Li made sure none were left behind.
He fed them the essence according to their needs and even kept the portion for the Blood-Drinking Sword, sealing it within the Spirit Realm.
The six Flying Swords quickly integrated the essence into their bodies, then proceeded to refine it quickly with the help of the Spirit Mechanism.
The process went smoothly, but unfortunately, with the scarcity of resources and only two Second Grade Magical Treasures sacrificed, it was not enough for the six Flying Swords to advance.
They only improved to the upper-middle Third Grade.
Lu Li wasn’t surprised, as his initial goal was to "gain some experience," and he felt that this goal had now been perfectly achieved.
Allowing the Flying Swords to return to the Spirit Realm to nurture, he put that matter aside for the moment and turned his attention back to the Artificial Sun.
Creating the Grand Canal had consumed nearly half of the energy, and the Artificial Sun had not yet fully recovered.
Lu Li adjusted the framework, keeping the diameter within 100 kilometers.
It was already 80, which seemed a bit small.
This was only because Lu Li wanted to try the "Ten Directions Annihilation," so he temporarily maintained a smaller size to avoid any mishap.
"If all goes well, it will be used on Yahweh and Satan. This move will help in adapting to the Supernova Explosion, so it is necessary."
After some busy work and planning, it was already deep into the night by the time he finally had a moment of rest.
At that moment, a meteor fell across the sky – his wives had returned!
