I Have A Martial Dao World

The outside was becoming increasingly lively as Lu Yao had already entered the "Star Alliance National East Continent Art Museum."

Inside, there was an array of Xia Country cultural relics on display, including Bronzeware from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, calligraphy and paintings from the Tang dynasty, porcelain from the Song Dynasty, and many Buddha statues.

Valuable relics were showcased under reinforced glass, while those deemed less valuable were carelessly placed around the hall.

Without any protective measures, anyone could handle or pose with them for a price. Over time, many relics had lost arms and legs and were severely damaged. If a Xia Country cultural relic enthusiast had seen them, they would have surely bled for it.

Such blatant display of looted cultural artifacts from other countries would undoubtedly face criticism.

To whitewash their acts of plunder and to stop the victimized countries from reclaiming their property, the thieves even concocted a theory.

It was brazenly written on the museum's website—

[We provide services of immense value for these relics. These services have removed the relics from their mother country]

[Cultural relics should not serve the citizens of any one country but should serve all of humanity]

Simply put, the argument was: these cultural relics belong to all humanity, not to any one country. Though we have plundered the historical and cultural heritage of other nations, our actions are righteous.

"Truly shameless to the extreme."

Without any hesitation, Lu Yao called upon his Mind Force to make all the relics float into the air, following him to the rooftop of the museum.

No sooner had he arrived on the rooftop than he noticed various filming equipment set up on the surrounding buildings.

He paid no mind and arranged the relics properly, then beckoned the Power of Collective Will from the skies above.

What he was doing now, was turning these relics into "Offering Vessels" to store the excessive amount of the Power of Collective Will.

The relics each absorbed differing amounts of this power and began to shine on their own, even the many that were shattered and damaged glimmered brightly.

And to everyone's astonishment—these relics could store the Power of Collective Will with a capacity nearly as great as the Pipa Charm!

While Lu Yao was somewhat surprised, he quickly understood—

These artifacts were priceless treasures handed down from Xia Country, carriers of Xia civilization.

Containing countless moving stories, inspiring heroes, and majestic epics that stirred up one's pride!

Also, this "Star Alliance National East Continent Art Museum" was established 50 years ago. These artifacts had been revered by countless visitors every day.

No Otherworld temple, however popular its worship, could match the population of Blue Star.

Being historic treasures in their own right, then displayed, offered up, and revered for 50 years, nothing could be more suitable as "Offering Vessels"!

By doing so, efficiency would greatly improve, and Lu Yao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. "Good thing I tried this out, it's a huge win!"

But what he didn't anticipate was that the biggest gain was yet to come!

~~~~~~~~

At that moment, the whole world saw the Xia Country relics suddenly glow and become dazzling.

Instantly, netizens from the Xia Country cultural sphere were the first to exclaim:
Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

[Is this the ritual to refine Magic Artifacts? Forging Magical Treasures!]

[An Immortal demonstrating the method to craft Flying Swords live on scene!?]

[My grandfather has a collection of Xia Country antiques, could they also do this? Does anyone know the method?]

Countries with a bit of power aimed their most sophisticated filming equipment here, vainly hoping to discover the secret.

Scientists, too, watched unblinkingly, witnessing a scene that would overturn the academic world.

But before long, an even more astonishing event took place!

Lu Yao merely considered these relics as "containers" for storing the Power of Collective Will, without any extravagant expectations; being able to do just that was gratifying enough.

Moreover, he discovered something quite interesting.

Those relics on display behind the toughened glass, invaluable as they were, proved to be the least suitable, absorbing the least amount of the Power of Collective Will;

Instead, the cultural relics that were haphazardly piled up, handled, and used as props for taking pictures with people were incredibly powerful. The power of collective will they absorbed was several times greater than the former!

"It seems that the quality of the offering vessel has little to do with the value or material of the cultural relic itself. Tsk tsk~ this one is almost becoming a magic artifact!"

A Tang Dynasty relic named "Dragon Pattern Mirror" was radiating the brightest light, drawing significant attention.

"Dragon Pattern Mirror" is a two-meter tall bronze mirror used for the Emperor to groom himself. Its back is engraved with a majestic dragon soaring through the clouds.

The dragon was clearly the work of a master, incredibly lifelike. Making eye contact felt as if being stared at by a real dragon, commanding respect.

But this treasure was not favored by robbers.

Because it was made of bronze, robbers preferred gold and gemstones; moreover, it wasn't unique. There were many others like it; at most, it was just a mirror used by the Emperor.

Thus, it was always relegated to a corner, getting dirty from daily photos and touching, and it also bore many scratches.

At this moment, the "Dragon Pattern Mirror" had absorbed several times more power of collective will than its peers, shining with the most dazzling light and drawing the most attention.

Countless cameras were aimed at it, broadcasting its image instantly across Blue Star through the internet.

About 500 million people from the cultural circle of Xia Country saw this image of the dragon soaring through the clouds with imposing might at first hand.

In regions covered by Xia Country's cultural circle, the dragon was known to everyone and was regarded with awe!

Thus, a roaring tide of collective will converged and came together!

Lu Yao looked up in surprise, "Indeed, fortune has arrived."

He immediately raised his hand and pointed, making the "Dragon Pattern Mirror" float three feet above his head to help it gather the power of collective will.

The power of collective will from 500 million people, all of it positive, made Lu Yao green with envy.

But envy couldn't change anything; this was the result of thousands of years of cultural accumulation, something he couldn't rival.

Such a colossal power of collective will washed away the mirror's worldly dirt in an instant, revitalizing it!

The mirror's surface, which had been so dirty its original color couldn't be seen, cleaned off in a flash, and the scratches disappeared without a trace, emitting a dazzling brilliance as it stood suspended in the air.

At this moment, the "Dragon Pattern Mirror" had truly become a magical treasure!

The Wudang Sect's "Xuanyue Seal of Peace" had been an offering for three hundred years before it became a magic artifact. The "Dragon Pattern Mirror" took about... one minute, I guess.

Lu Yao wore a smile, but his face suddenly changed!

At that time, who knows how many people called their friends to watch this miraculous scene, and many foreigners were also interested in Xia Country's dragon.

Especially the awe-inspiring dragon on the bronze mirror made people subconsciously revere it.

The power of their collective will joined the pool, turning 500 million into 1 billion, and it was still increasing!

Even though some negative will was mixed in, it didn't matter much. The recognition and admiration for the dragon within Xia Country's cultural circle were just too strong, resulting in incredible veneration and awe!

All of a sudden, Lu Yao wasn't sure what would happen next and could only patiently help the "Dragon Pattern Mirror" gather the power of collective will.

~~~~~~~~~

As time ticked by, the "Dragon Pattern Mirror" assumed the spotlight, gathering more and more power of collective will.

Lu Yao had stopped counting how much; it was an astronomical figure unimaginable for a Spirit Refinement expert from Otherworld.

With his guidance, before long, the "Dragon Pattern Mirror" was emitting brighter and brighter light, like a mini sun.

Many of the cameras seemed to experience electromagnetic interference and suddenly failed, but fortunately, there were drones transmitting 4K signals high above capturing the scene.

A high-pitched Dragon's Chant echoed through heaven and earth, and the "Dragon Pattern Mirror" suddenly expanded, transforming into a fifty-meter-long Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!

The Golden Dragon radiated dazzling golden light, its majestic presence roaring up into the sky before soaring into the clouds!

At that moment, the whole world was speechless!

Lu Yao laughed, "Goodness, who would have thought to acquire a magical treasure on Blue Star!"
