I Have A Martial Dao World

To the east of the Star Alliance Capital, within the maple woods on "Hamilton Mountain"... Lu Yao silently returned.

A month had passed since the 'public trial' that captivated the world.

Pulling out his PDA to scroll through the news, he checked on the state of affairs on Blue Star since his last outburst.

"I still dominate the top global internet search... Excellent! This will surely translate into a vast tide of wishes!"

In both domestic and foreign social media, Lu Yao's name inevitably topped the headlines. And the buzz about him alone surpassed that of all others combined.

Ranked second and third in the hot search were: Star Alliance Nation Biological Laboratory, Star Alliance Nation's super virus project.

As Blue Star's only superman, Lu Yao's popularity was sky-high, drawing tsunami-like traffic, and any matter related to him sparked broad discussion.

And whenever he was mentioned, the Star Alliance inevitably came up for discussion as well.

Further fueled by a few other countries, the filthy deeds of the Star Alliance Country could no longer be concealed.

Consequently, various sectors on Blue Star joined in condemning the actions of the Star Alliance Country.

Lu Yao casually clicked on a few news articles, all reporting on this matter—

[The Star Alliance has been collecting deadly virus strains that can infect humans through livestock across the globe. Such research is extremely dangerous; a virus leak would be unimaginable. If used as lethal weapons, they could cause global human disasters.]

[Recently, mass protests have erupted in several countries housing Star Alliance 'Biological Laboratories.' People took to the streets to demand the shutdown of these dangerous facilities and a thorough investigation into past 'leak incidents.']

[The Star Alliance refuses to sign the "Biological Weapons Convention," and such unilateralism and double standards have seriously undermined the effectiveness of the existing arms control and nonproliferation regimes.]

Under international and public condemnation, the Star Alliance Country, overwhelmed and in disarray, opted for silence on the matter, citing "national security," and played dead.

Fortunately, the most glaring Yukolun laboratory was shut down, satisfying Sergey's last wish.

"Truly a cancer of humanity," said Lu Yao without mercy, then prepared to attend to serious matters.

His primary task upon returning was to confirm whether the "power of collective will" of Blue Star could be utilized by him.

Thanks to the help of his sisters, he had a certain understanding of the unique thought waves called 'wishes,' which was helpful for what he was about to do.

But he mustn't let his guard down! After all, this was a scale of billions, not the trifling millions of Otherworld.

Lu Yao leaped to a secluded spot at the mountain peak and cautiously opened his Heavenly Eye on his forehead.

In an instant, the whole world changed, filled with colorful and strange lines. These were the magnetic fields of the planet, whose mechanisms remain a mystery to this day.

And high in the sky, there was a vast ocean formed by wishes above his head!

It was the convergence of countless people's 'hearts and thoughts' towards Lu Yao, a rhythmic wave created by thought.

Even though he had seen it once before, Lu Yao was still profoundly shocked at the moment.

In comparison, the power of collective will gathered by The Empress Dowager was laughably insignificant, like "sesame seeds on a whale."

Having so many resources should be a good thing, but looking at the "Tide of Wishes" above his head, Lu Yao frowned deeply:

"This is too much... Such a huge and mixed amount of the power of collective will could wash me into an idiot or a madman in an instant!"

It's likely that no practitioner of Spirit Refinement in the entire cultivation system had a method to deal with such a situation.

No Spirit Refinement expert had ever witnessed such an enormous amount of collective will.

Moreover, wishes were not only numerous but also impure and mixed. Positive and negative in equal measure.

If the wishes of his sisters were sweet dew, then this expanse from Blue Star was muddy water.

Not everyone liked Lu Yao. Those who agreed with the Star Alliance's values and those who thought Lu Yao was a monster both despised and hated him intensely.

"The treasure is right before my eyes; whether I can leave with a full load depends on me!"

Lu Yao invigorated his spirit, ready to execute his plan — to carry the will of Blue Star to the Otherworld and use the barrier between the two realms to sever the threads of human thoughts, thereby achieving the purpose of filtration.

He dared not hope to make the power of wishes turn into what his sisters possessed, but it should at least be easily absorbed.

And against this point, a contingency plan had already been made!

The "Scripture of Enlightenment Through Hard Work" as well as the storybooks that the two sisters read, both record the concept of an "Offering Vessel."

This was an instrument used by the Spirit Refinement experts to collect the power of wishes. For example, the "Eight Treasures in Front of Buddha" in the temples, the incense burners in the Taoist Temples, and the Bagua all function in a similar way.

Hong Renkun, who rebelled so openly without any scruples, directly used his own statues and portraits.

Moreover, after an offering vessel has been washed over by the power of wishes for a long time, it can naturally become a powerful "Magic Artifact."

The Xuanyue Seal of Peace used by the Wudang Sect Leader Zhang Yunshu before is exactly such a case.

Lu Yao had two objects that were very suitable to be "Offering Vessels"—the Pipa Charm and the "Lake Sword"!

Using them to absorb the power of wishes, they could not only serve as storage tools, but also allow them to be strengthened, reaping multiple benefits at once~

~~~~~~~~~~

"First, I'll try with this one!"

A "matchstick" flew out from his ear, grew upon encountering the wind, and turned into a pipa in Lu Yao's hands.

This was the magical treasure he had high hopes for, always considering it as his trump card and secret weapon.

Lu Yao's divine soul traveled out of his body, hovering three feet above his head, and guided a "thread" of wish power down into the pipa.

But this "thread" was relative to a "vast ocean," turning into a group as thick as an elephant after descending.

The majestic Pipa Charm was instantly filled to the brim, having ingested only half before it could take in no more.

It's not that it was useless, but simply because there was too much! This was equivalent to swallowing the power of wishes from tens of millions of people from another world, and the immediate absorption was too much to bear.

Moreover, the distressing part was that after the pipa was overstuffed, it couldn't shrink back down and had to be temporarily carried on his back.

~~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao then took out the Lake Sword.

Originally not expecting much, he was surprised to find that this saber belonging to the emperor of the Westerners could actually take a lot, being filled after gulping down three threads.

It was somewhat strange, but Lu Yao did not know why this weapon, with its peculiar material, could do so.

After some research and finding no clues, he simply put it aside and no longer concerned himself with it.

Then, he took out the Triangle Flying Sword, given by Zhou Heli. As expected, mundane objects could not handle too much, and it only absorbed an insignificant trace.

After all this fuss, the tide of wishes in the sky appeared not to have diminished at all.

Lu Yao sighed, "What I need to do is like scooping the water out of a reservoir with a bottle cap..."

Others were worried about not having enough power of wishes, even risking annihilation by the Imperial Court to secretly gather them.

But Lu Yao's concern was that there was too much to transport.

"Do I have to bring a bunch of 'bottles and jars' back to store them..."

"I'll have to think about a solution slowly, let's first download some information for the old master Zhou."

Lu Yao opened his PDA to search Baidu for information related to "aerodynamics," unaware that his previous action of guiding the power of wishes had caused many strange phenomena to occur in the entire capital region of the Star Alliance Nation.

The voltage was unstable, with many electrical devices even turning on and off by themselves; the signals of TVs, phones, and other devices were severely disrupted, making imaging difficult.

It seemed they were suffering from a large-scale electromagnetic interference.

The military quickly located the source of the abnormal electromagnetic waves—Hamilton Mountain, where Lu Yao was located!

After all, a great battle had just taken place, and it was a sensitive time.

The "Joint Forces Command Headquarters," responsible for defending the capital, immediately dispatched drones for reconnaissance.
