Chapter 301 Confidential, Star Core, Breakthrough
Inside Qingquan Chunhui Hall, Li Xijun's private villa.
Having returned to the main world, he had long since forgotten all the official positions and honors he had previously obtained in the Great Sheng Dynasty.
He is currently browsing the list of resources that the federal government has provided exclusively to him on his personal terminal.
An hour later, he selected a top-tier treasure from the Federation's unlimited resource library, marked as "extremely rare" and highly effective for stellar attribute cultivation techniques, called the "Star Core Essence," to aid in his cultivation of the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" in order to break through to the third level of the Outer Realm as soon as possible.
Less than half a day after the application was submitted, subtle spatial fluctuations were heard outside the Qingquan Chunhui Hall.
Two figures dressed in standard Federal Martial Arts Hall armor appeared over there like ghosts.
They were reserved in their demeanor, but their actions carried an air of menace, clearly indicating that they were elites who had undergone rigorous training and were specifically responsible for escorting important supplies.
"According to the coordinates, this is the place. Just hand over the resources to Vice Principal Lisa." One of the escorts, a man with a sharp face and keen eyes, whispered. His name was Zhou Lie.
"Hmm, we've actually gained access to the Qingquan Chunhui Palace?"
Another, slightly younger escort, Wang Kai, nodded, but a hint of curiosity still flashed in his eyes as he muttered under his breath:
"I wonder what kind of treasure they're sending this time, that it requires the two of us to escort it directly from the headquarters treasury, and with such a high level of clearance—could it be for Li Xijun?"
"I wonder what level this genius with the potential to become a martial saint has reached in his cultivation? I'd really like to meet him."
He had barely finished speaking when a cold and authoritative female voice rang out from behind them:
"You talk too much."
Zhou Lie and Wang Kai were both startled and turned around abruptly, only to find that Vice Principal Lisa had silently appeared behind them.
Today, she was dressed in a smart silver business suit that accentuated her perfect figure, but her azure eyes contained an invisible pressure belonging to a Great Vajra Realm expert, causing the two powerful escorts to feel their breath catch in their throats.
"Vice Principal Lisa!" Zhou Lie immediately bowed respectfully.
Wang Kai's face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. The moment he saw the other person's expression, he realized the mistake he had made: "Vice Principal, I—I just—"
Lisa didn't even look at him. Her gaze was fixed on the sealed box made of a special alloy that Zhou Lie was holding in his hands. After scanning it with her mind and finding no problems, she gave it a thorough look.
She raised her wrist directly and connected to an encrypted communication with the Federal Martial Arts Academy headquarters, her tone leaving no room for argument:
"I am Lisa from Qingquan Chunhui Hall. Wang Kai, the escort for mission TZ-774, has been inquiring about and discussing top-secret information about the resources he is escorting without cause during the mission, which is a serious violation of the Martial Arts Hall's Confidentiality Regulations. I request an immediate investigation into his behavior and a reassessment of his confidentiality privileges and mission qualifications."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication line, followed by a steady voice: "Received, Vice Principal Lisa. The Martial Arts Hall will handle this matter seriously."
Almost immediately after the communication was disconnected, an even more powerful and terrifying aura, carrying the implication of indestructibility, suddenly descended!
A blurry phantom materialized out of thin air. Although it was not the real body, its overwhelming pressure, as heavy as a mountain, almost made Zhou Lie and Wang Kai kneel down.
This person is also a pillar of the Great Vajra Realm, one of the Federation's true top combat forces.
"Wang Kai!" The illusory voice was like divine punishment, shaking Wang Kai's soul. "Do you know your crime?"
"Guozhu—I—" Wang Kai trembled all over, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, since you've made such a reckless statement about classified information, you should be prepared for the consequences."
"Effective immediately, all your escort duties are terminated, and you will undergo a rigorous internal review. After the review, you will be exiled to the mythical world of the fourth extraterrestrial base, 'Abyss Front,' and will not be allowed to return to the main world for a hundred years!" King Kong Pillar's voice was devoid of any emotion as he delivered the verdict.
Wang Kai's face turned ashen, and he was completely unable to move. He was directly imprisoned and taken away by an invisible force.
Zhou Lie, who was standing to the side, was terrified. He never expected that his teammate's few words of curiosity would lead to such serious consequences.
Even the Vajra Realm's national pillar personally projected himself to deal with the situation!
Is Li Xijun's matter really that sensitive and important?
After dealing with Wang Kai, the phantom of the Vajra Pillar turned its gaze to the sealed box in Zhou Lie's hand.
Zhou Lie immediately understood and respectfully presented the box with both hands.
Lisa took the box and, after performing complex biometric and soul fluctuation verifications, the box opened a crack with a "click" and then immediately closed again.
"The item is correct," Lisa said calmly.
The illusory figure of Vajra Pillar nodded slightly, his gaze seemingly sweeping over the direction of Li Xijun's cultivation room. His tone carried an indescribable solemnity, as if he were speaking to Zhou Lie, explaining to him:
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. When it comes to matters concerning the future of humanity, no amount of caution or rigor is excessive. If it can bring about a pillar of humanity's future, it's all worthwhile."
As soon as the words were spoken, the phantom slowly dissipated, and the terrifying pressure also disappeared.
Zhou Lie stood there, unable to recover for a long time. His back was soaked with cold sweat. Only after seeing Lisa leave did he quickly lower his head and slip away without saying a word.
A moment later, in the training room, Lisa placed the sealed box in front of Li Xijun.
"The Star Core Essence you requested."
Lisa looked at Li Xijun, who was sitting cross-legged, and the coldness in her eyes had long since turned into gentleness and a hint of concern. "There was quite a commotion outside just now because of this thing."
Li Xijun opened her eyes and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Lisa."
With his level of spiritual awareness, he naturally sensed the fluctuations in the outside atmosphere, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
"This thing is very precious. It was coordinated by the Federation and the government from Russia in the north. Just to be on the safe side, I will be there to protect you when you absorb it for the first time." She said as she opened the box again.
In an instant, the entire training room seemed to transform into the cosmos.
Inside the box was not a physical object, but a constantly changing, flowing mass of dazzling starlight. Countless tiny fragments, like diamonds, yet containing terrifying stellar spiritual power, floated and died within it. They independently drew upon the illusory images of the surrounding stars, causing subtle distortions in the gravity field of the room.
A pure, ancient, and boundless stellar power spread out, causing the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" within Li Xijun's body to operate automatically, and even the Ziwei Emperor Star in his inner universe burst forth with a yearning radiance.
"This is a treasure that the Federation acquired at great cost from deep within the ruins of an ancient mythical world on the verge of destruction."
Lisa's voice carried a hint of amazement, "It is speculated that it may be a strange substance formed from the core essence of an ancient star after its death, under certain extreme conditions. It is said that the entire Federation's inventory is less than five times that amount. It can not only enhance the cultivation of star attribute techniques, but also greatly benefit the comprehension of the true meaning of the universe."
Looking at that dreamlike starlight, a burning desire flashed in Li Xijun's eyes.
He could clearly sense that this [Star Core Essence] was an unparalleled tonic for him.
"This treasure is even more powerful than I imagined."
Li Xijun reached out and guided the starlight to his palm, feeling the immense power within it with great satisfaction. "If I fully absorb this treasure, breaking through to the late stage of the Outer Realm (Third Heaven) within six months is almost inevitable."
In this way, Li Xijun is expected to be able to complete the location shooting by October.
Although if I were to attempt to break through to the first-grade Golden Core stage, time would probably be a bit tight.
However, it is not difficult to break through to the fourth level of the outer realm of the martial arts world, condense a Dharma body, and possess the combat power of the Golden Core realm.
