HLnovel Chapter 301 Refining Another Self
Chapter 301 Refining Another Self
On Mars, hundreds of researchers were all shocked, staring in disbelief at this cosmic spectacle!
The stars twinkled together? No one has ever seen such a sight, nor can it be explained.
"Could the shimmering Milky Way be related to this great immortal?"
"Only extraordinary power can achieve this..."
What exactly happened inside the Martian core?
Everyone was shocked.
The next instant, a figure emerged from the bottomless pit; Li Lan appeared before everyone.
He's still alive!
"This is incredible!"
Everyone started to speak.
Yi Mingxuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Immortal!"
"May I ask your esteemed name, Immortal? I am Yi Mingxuan, a researcher at the Earth Global Alliance, and a follower of the path of cultivation. Immortal, the entire Earth yearns for your guidance!"
His eyes were filled with intense desire.
Although extensive research has been conducted on ancient cultivation methods on Earth, the results are not numerous. A single, venerable cultivator would be the greatest treasure.
We must invite Li Lan back to Earth.
"No need to ask my name,"
But Li Lan simply said, "I lay dormant in the constellation Mars, and today I awoke from the invasion of foreign enemies."
"A great enemy has arrived in the universe; a great calamity is about to befall the Primordial Emperor Star."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a scene instantly appeared before everyone's eyes:
It was a mysterious ancient road stretching across the starry sky, and at this moment, figures were approaching along that mysterious ancient road!
"what is that?"
"Extraterrestrial beings?"
"No, they should also be cultivators? They can actually walk through the universe with their physical bodies?"
Everyone was shocked.
“Cultivators from other star fields will arrive, and the Primordial Emperor Star will surely be devastated. You should return quickly and tell the world that if there are other fellow cultivators on the Emperor Star, they may emerge from seclusion and there is still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, this time, the Emperor Star is in grave danger!”
Li Lan spoke solemnly, saying, "I will guard Mars."
After hearing this, everyone was even more dumbfounded. What had happened today was far beyond their comprehension.
"An enemy has arrived..."
Yi Mingxuan murmured, "There is a legend recorded in an unearthed ancient book that the immortals of the Imperial Star once embarked on a journey, but none of them returned... There are other places of cultivation in the universe, this is true!"
"It was the arrival of other cultivators that awakened the immortals who had been slumbering in this place..."
He shuddered, his face instantly turning ashen, and exclaimed, "These people are enemies of Earth... We're doomed!"
Others also chimed in:
"The methods of cultivators... are simply beyond the reach of technological civilization."
"A mere corpse from ancient times has rendered artillery and heavy firearms ineffective. How can we possibly contend with so many living cultivators and enemies?"
"This will likely be a battle for survival!"
Earth has never fought against the cultivator civilization, but Earth's most powerful weapon right now is nothing more than nuclear bombs!
Nuclear bombs are invincible to ordinary people, but these scientific researchers know very well that even if all the nuclear bombs in the world were to explode at once, they would not destroy the earth. At most, they would only cause some damage to the earth's surface, and they would not even be able to wipe out all life on earth.
Within a few years, the nuclear radiation zone will be reclaimed by plants and animals.
And what about cultivators? They can actually make all the stars in the entire galaxy twinkle at once!
Compared to cultivators, the level of energy that humans possess today is truly too weak.
"Immortal, there are no more supreme cultivators on Earth now. We have gone through great lengths and have only managed to find some basic inheritances. Could you please guide us so that the people of Earth may have a skill to protect themselves from external threats?"
Yi Mingxuan suddenly spoke to Li Lan and bowed deeply.
Li Lan pondered for a moment, then said, "A dream spanning eternity, without witnessing the passage of time, I am unaware of the current state of the Imperial Star... Relax, I will take a look."
After speaking, his gaze immediately fell on Yi Mingxuan. Instantly, Yi Mingxuan felt as if he could not move. He felt that Li Lan's gaze was like two blazing suns, and no thought in his mind could escape Li Lan's detection.
He was deeply shocked, but dared not resist in the slightest.
Much later.
Li Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, while Yi Mingxuan felt a sudden sense of exhaustion. The fatigue almost overwhelmed him, and he was about to collapse when the people next to him quickly supported him.
"Taking this medicine will ensure your safety."
With a flick of his finger, Li Lan sent a pill floating into Yi Mingxuan's hand. Yi Mingxuan was overjoyed and quickly swallowed it. Immediately, his body produced saliva, making him feel as if he had inexhaustible energy and as if he had become ten years younger!
"Thank you, thank you so much for the medicine, Immortal!"
He spoke up quickly.
"Very well, the ancient path will be restarted. Although there is a great formation blocking it, the spiritual energy in the universe will gradually break through the original barrier and seep into the earth, and cultivation will also resume."
Li Lan then said, "Since Earth lacks a complete cultivation system, I'll give you this cultivation method—"
With a wave of his hand, points of light instantly entered the minds of everyone present.
Everyone was shocked. What kind of method was this? Knowledge and information were directly injected into the brain?
"This...is this really a cultivation technique?"
"That's wonderful! One day, we can fly and travel through the earth like this immortal!"
Everyone was incredibly excited.
"Thank you, immortal!"
They were all bowing.
"Cultivate diligently, and when great calamity truly descends, only those who are strong enough will have a glimmer of hope for survival."
Li Lan spoke calmly, and then his figure disappeared.
"Where is the immortal?"
Where did he go?
"What's going on?"
Everyone was shocked once again. Even though they knew Li Lan was a cultivator, seeing such a "magical transformation" still broadened their horizons.
"We don't even know the name of this immortal..."
Amidst the crowd, Zhou Mang sighed softly, her usually composed face now etched with regret.
She learned boxing and traditional martial arts on her own, and was extremely self-disciplined. As a result, she was far superior to ordinary people in terms of combat power. Before coming to Mars, she was always very confident and proud.
Until I saw it with my own eyes: a dead body could easily destroy the most powerful alloy machinery and withstand the onslaught of howitzers and bullets...
She suddenly realized how insignificant she was.
When the broken halberd of the silver-armored celestial soldier was hurled at her, she truly thought she was going to die...
It was this immortal who intervened and easily blocked the broken spear and suppressed the heavenly soldiers!
It completely shocked her.
At this moment, Li Lan gracefully departed without saying a word to her from beginning to end, leaving her with a strange sense of loss.
……
"Cease all operations, set up a relay station, and then return to Earth immediately!"
Yi Mingxuan spoke loudly, no longer hesitating.
This is a matter of utmost importance, involving the survival of the entire planet, and we dare not be careless at all.
Moreover, this Mars exploration mission has already achieved enough results, so there is no point in continuing.
Immediately, many researchers in the field got busy. They built a relay station here to observe the universe, and then quickly returned to their spaceship to prepare to leave.
The enormous spaceship spewed forth scorching flames, kicking up clouds of dust on the Martian surface, before ascending into the distance.
Meanwhile, Li Lan watched them leave from the shadows, lost in thought.
Li Lan has no intention of returning to Earth with them!
--Now that the Milky Way is shimmering and the great formation has been reset, if those beings from the divine realm are truly on Earth, they will surely be aware of it and may target this research team returning from Mars. If Li Lan is with them, they will fall into the enemy's trap and ambush.
"They've all left, it's time for me to set off too."
Li Lan murmured as he appeared and entered the research base, where Yi Mingxuan and others had left behind many research spaceships.
These spaceships can also travel in space.
The ancient road ends at Yinghuo, but there is still a long distance from Mars to Earth, and Li Lan's physical body is not yet able to support him to cross it.
Just now, by using the "soul-searching" method, Li Lan not only explored Yi Mingxuan's memories but also learned a great deal of scientific knowledge.
Once he reaches that level, mastering human technology and civilization will not be difficult.
Of course, the method of soul searching should not be used too often. Peeping into other people's memories and knowledge can easily corrupt oneself and turn one into an indescribable monster!
Even if the other party is an ordinary person, there will still be a subtle influence.
If he hadn't just returned to Earth and was so unfamiliar with everything there, needing to quickly learn about it, Li Lan wouldn't have chosen this method. He would need to spend one or two months clearing his soul of distractions and impurities to ensure his own purity.
Once inside the cabin, he immediately severed the spaceship's connection to Earth, then activated it. The spaceship quickly ascended, but its direction of travel was not towards Earth, but towards the Moon!
Earth is under constant satellite surveillance; if this spacecraft were to fly directly back from Mars, it would also be exposed.
However, humans have now established numerous bases on the moon, with spacecraft traveling back and forth daily, allowing Li Lan to "smuggle" back to Earth from the moon.
He didn't think he was being overly cautious; to deal with the hidden "them" on Earth, one had to be extremely careful.
After humanity's technology exploded, the speed of space travel also became extremely fast. Two days later, Li Lan piloted the spaceship and arrived at the far side of the Earth.
Human lunar bases are mostly built on the near side of the moon. Li Lan stopped here unnoticed. He buried the spaceship underground and then quickly approached the human base. Before long, using the knowledge he had obtained from Yi Mingxuan, he found a spaceship that was carrying lunar minerals back to Earth that day and hid inside it.
……
Earth.
"I'm finally back!"
"We're back on Earth. We'll tell the world everything we saw on Mars. We must prepare for battle!"
The enormous spaceship slowly landed at the airbase. Yi Mingxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and prepared to open the hatch and get out.
"No personnel are allowed to leave the cabin without authorization; otherwise, they will be considered traitors and shot on the spot!"
"I repeat, no one is allowed to leave the cabin without authorization; otherwise, it will be considered treason and they will be shot on the spot!"
Suddenly, the broadcast came through the cabin microphone.
Everyone in the cabin was immediately startled.
"What's going on? How come there are so many fighter jets carrying missiles? Are they trying to surround us?"
"Fire control radar...we've been locked onto by fire control radar!"
"What the hell! We are researchers from the Global Alliance, not enemies!!"
Everyone in the cabin was furious.
Yi Mingxuan also frowned, unsure of Earth's intentions, but he still said, "Everyone, please remain calm and do not act rashly!"
And the periphery.
