Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 335. The Celestial Court’s First Operation, Restoring its Ancient Glory?

This transformation of Lu Yuan’s physique was completely different from before. After consecutively fusing with three different divine artifacts, and with Lu Yuan’s own deep foundation to support it, the transformation of his body had now reached an almost unimaginable level.

It was like the Heaven-Earth Furnace now manifested by the sheer strength of his physique. With yin and yang converging within it, its power circulated endlessly. As Lu Yuan continued to grow stronger, the Heaven-Earth Furnace would likewise accumulate all kinds of power within itself and continue to develop.

In other words, it was much like the Innate Spirit in his mind. It already possessed tremendous latent potential. Lu Yuan simply needed to develop it.

Lu Yuan could sense that the Heaven-Earth Furnace had only just appeared, yet its might was already terrifying.

”Not bad. I wonder just how far your potential can go?”

A smile twinkled in his eyes, but he did not continue examining it. Instead, he restrained every trace of his aura.

In an instant, the golden vital qi vanished, and the small folded space stabilized completely. The current Lu Yuan seemed to possess no extraordinary or formidable qualities at all, because everything had been concealed. Combined with the Primordial Qi Robe, it would be very difficult for outsiders to see through him.

Still, anyone who spent enough time around him would notice a subtle change. True powerhouses carried a distinct presence, and that presence naturally shifted as their strength changed.

With nothing else left to do, Lu Yuan stepped forward and left the folded space. The moment he emerged, he sensed that powerful aura. He raised his head and saw Jiang Ningxian not far away, clearly standing guard for him.

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Jiang Ningxian walked over and said with a trace of annoyance, ”You finally came out. If you’d stayed in there any longer, I would’ve left and let you deal with it yourself.”

Even so, there was not much real reproach in her voice. After looking at him more carefully, she could not help but ask, ”Hm? Your physique has grown stronger again?”

As expected of a Saintess, Jiang Ningxian’s insight was naturally exceptional. Though she had not sensed any obvious change in Lu Yuan’s aura, she had still seen through it.

”Yes.” Lu Yuan nodded, but did not dwell on the subject. Instead, he continued, ”To thank you, how about this? I’ll accompany you to visit the famous mountains and great rivers. What do you think?”

Given her status, words of thanks had already been said many times. Saying them again would have little meaning. After considering it, Lu Yuan instead proposed taking her out to travel a little and treat it as sightseeing.

He still remembered that Uncle Jiang had once told him that when Jiang Ningxian first arrived in this world, she had visited many places. But because time had been tight, she had only been able to glance at some of them in passing.

Now was a good opportunity as the matters of the Celestial Court no longer required his personal attention for the time being, so he might as well take a walk.

”It’s rare for you to think of something like that. Very well, I’ll reluctantly agree.” Jiang Ningxian truly did want to see the real homeland of the Jiang Clan, the famous mountains and great rivers, the things recorded in the ancient texts.

And with Lu Yuan accompanying her, she was naturally delighted. Even so, she still added, ”But don’t let it turn into another Mount Hulong.”

In the end, she was still a woman at heart. The reason she said this was simply because she did not want Lu Yuan to drag her out, only to enter cultivation again halfway through. That would truly be too dull. Of course, she did not say that part aloud.

”Of course.”

Lu Yuan smiled, then took out his communicator and glanced at the messages on it.

They were from Zhu Qingyu, concerning the Outer Cosmos beings’ plans to move against the five supercities.

He had expected this long ago, but he had no intention of getting personally involved.

The Celestial Court had been established for quite some time now. If it truly wished to become a powerful force in the future, then it would have to face certain things on its own.

The only reason he was paying attention now was to prevent any true powerhouse from appearing among the Outer Cosmos beings. But it seemed like that would not happen for the time being.

”Let’s go.”

Without dwelling on it, Lu Yuan tore open the void. At once, the two of them stepped inside.

Just as he had expected, this journey had no other purpose than to take in the scenery of the famous mountains and great rivers.

Lu Yuan and Jiang Ningxian were both at the peak of the Lesser Sage Realm. Their strength was extraordinary, and their speed was naturally astonishing as well. In only a few short days, they had already visited many places.

Of course, there were some places where the two of them stayed for quite a while, as they admired the wondrous sights while also observing the changes in this world.

All in all, it was an exceptionally relaxed trip for Lu Yuan. He no longer needed to think about all the various matters he had before.

As time passed for them, the changes in the outside world continued.

Just as the Celestial Court had anticipated, the Outer Cosmos beings, unable to suppress their anger after members of their races had been killed, began to move against the five supercities.

Of course, they were not trying to carry out a massacre. They merely wanted to recover a little interest first.

In their eyes, most of Earth’s human race were no more than ants. In the past, they had refrained from acting only because they had not considered them worthy of notice.

But things were different now.

They had sent some people to infiltrate the five supercities and stir up chaos as retaliation against Lu Yuan.

With that in mind, the various Outer Cosmos races all began to move. Among them were even existences like the Yin Sparrows.

Just that everything remained under control. The Celestial Court acted the moment they infiltrated the five supercities.

It chose to strike directly.

Representing the mutated beasts were the Peacock King, the Spirit Monkey, and the Nine-tailed Fox King, while Chunyang, Monk Huikong, and the others represented the human side. All of them had already reached the Sage Realm, and the moment they discovered the Outer Cosmos beings, they struck without hesitation and killed them outright.

During the process, they even had people film everything and post it online.

Now, even the Outer Cosmos beings paid attention to the internet, because news spread there with astonishing speed.

As such, a few days later, the Outer Cosmos beings discovered that every person they had sent had died.

Videos of their own clansmen being killed had even been posted online.

The caption was simple.

[Any who break the rules and dare target ordinary people shall be slain!]

Back when the official authorities were still in place, all Outer Cosmos beings had already been warned not to make a move against the ordinary people of the five supercities. If they did, retaliation would follow.

Of course, none of them had taken that warning to heart. They had felt it was absurdly overconfident.

Later, because of Lu Yuan’s existence and the succession of other events, they had simply ignored the matter.

Now, when they finally tried to act, they suddenly discovered that they could not.

The Celestial Court had produced more than ten Sages, all of them stationed in the various supercities.

The moment their people entered, they were discovered and killed.

For a moment, all the Outer Cosmos beings were dumbfounded, and could not believe the situation.

In their eyes, aside from Lu Yuan, the human race of the Milky Way Starfield had never posed the slightest threat. Yet at this moment, they had bared their fangs. And the ones taking action had all reached the Sage Realm.

The news was simply too shocking.

The Outer Cosmos beings had never expected this. Lu Yuan alone had already made life difficult enough for them, and now several more Sages had appeared. They were Sages, after all. How long had it even been since the Milky Way Starfield began to awaken?

At this moment, almost all the Outer Cosmos great clans and races realized that with these people present, the Milky Way Starfield might really be on the verge of restoring its glory of the ancient age.
