Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 5 Kunlun Mirror

With a thought, the Kunlun Mirror from the external storage space appeared in Lu Jin's hand.

In a way, the external space can be considered a treasure, as it can be used to serve as a world with infinite space, but it cannot contain life with a soul.

As the mental energy was channeled into the Kunlun Mirror, a high-definition three-dimensional image instantly appeared on the originally smooth, water-like surface of the mirror.

Through communication with the bewildered spirit inside the Kunlun Mirror, Lu Jin understood that what was displayed on the mirror was a spherical three-dimensional image with a diameter of 100 kilometers, centered on the Kunlun Mirror.

Moreover, this was only because of his weak strength; otherwise, the detection range could have been much larger.

With a thought, Lu Jin's gaze shifted instantly. The scene before him was no longer his own underground martial arts training hall, but rather a bustling city with towering buildings below, and a vast planting area of ​​fruits and vegetables on the city's edge.

Beyond that, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything except this huge, circular area.

Lu Jin knew that the city that came into view was Yangzhou, where his family lived.

The next moment, Lu Jin's mind moved again, and the bustling city with its towering buildings below rapidly zoomed in.

Soon, Lu Jin saw himself sitting on the ground in the underground martial arts hall, holding an antique round mirror in his hands.

Then, the focus shifted again, and Lu Jin's gaze settled on a unit on the 32nd floor of a tenement building in the Nan'an Community of Yi'an District.

What came into view was a lean young man leaning against a balcony chair where the sun couldn't shine in, staring blankly at a photograph in his hand.

The lean young man was none other than Luo Feng, who had not yet made his fortune at this time.

Lu Jin: "."

Good heavens, a photo of Xu Xin?
Luo Lao Er, are you out of your mind?! Why aren't you cultivating?!
To put it simply, the Origin Continent is not as vast as Xu Xin's. Luo Feng can easily reach the top of the Origin Continent, but he can't even touch Xu Xin's bottom.

With a slight pout, Lu Jin shifted her gaze again.

This time, Lu Jin's gaze extended to the 'dark area' ahead.

As the Kunlun Mirror's exploration center shifted, the area that had previously been dark gradually revealed its true appearance.

Correspondingly, the area that was originally within the detection range was gradually swallowed up by the 'dark area', so that the detection range remained unchanged at the same time.

Beyond the vast planting area on the edge of Yangzhou City, Lu Jin saw the towering city walls built by the Jiangnan Base City at great expense, as well as the soldiers standing guard with guns on the walls and a large number of war machines. He also crossed the warning range and saw a large number of monsters roaming in the wilderness.

Looking ahead, monsters roam the wilderness, preying on the weak; looking back, people live and work in peace and contentment within the city. The two scenes form a stark contrast.

'Although there are bad people among the people and many monsters in the wilderness, I believe that one day, after the bad people among the people and the monsters in the wilderness are cleared away, this world will still be a beautiful place.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

He didn't come, and the injustices of the world went unaddressed.

If he comes here and the injustices of the world are still left unaddressed, then what's the point of his trip?
Of course, Lu Jin also knew what it meant to only eat what you can handle; if you wanted to 'meddle in other people's business,' you absolutely couldn't do it without sufficient strength to back you up.

After a long while, realizing that his mental energy was more than half depleted, Lu Jin exited the 'God's-eye view' mode from the Kunlun Mirror's remote exploration. It must be said, the Kunlun Mirror's spatial exploration capabilities were incredibly useful; it was practically like having a real-time spherical map covering a diameter of one hundred kilometers.

Moreover, although this real-time map has a limited coverage area, the coordinates of the center point are not fixed and can be extended or even jumped around at will.

For example, just before concluding this exploration, Lu Jin observed the Paris base city of the O Allied countries, located at the western end of the Eurasian continent, from a god's-eye view.

Furthermore, within this real-time map, he can zoom in and out at will with a mere thought, ignoring all obstacles and viewing from every angle without being detected by others.

Perhaps on Earth, this real-time map isn't that incredibly useful; it can basically only serve as a warning.

But when we go to the secret realms of the universe to search for treasures in the future, its usefulness will be extremely powerful.

As long as there are treasures within the secret realm, and a thorough search is conducted, absolutely no treasure can escape his discerning eyes.

As his strength increases and his mental processing speed becomes comparable to that of a quantum computer, and the detection range of the Kunlun Mirror expands along with his strength, earning the title of 'Treasure Hunting Prince' should be no problem at all.

Due to the presence of numerous monsters in the wilderness and the inconvenience of transportation between base cities, online shopping on Earth, which devours the world, is generally limited to the area within a base city and rarely involves business with other base cities.

However, this restriction also has its advantages. Due to the 100% urbanization, merchants can ship goods and couriers can deliver them very quickly.

Lu Jin placed the order just over three hours ago, and the courier called to ask him to go to the gate of the community to sign for the package.

Not long after, in the underground training hall, Lu Jin glanced at the fresh monster meat in the four plastic boxes, took out the Demon Refining Pot, and with a mental effort, put all the beast soldier-level monster meat, weighing a hundred kilograms, from the four boxes into the Demon Refining Pot.

As his consciousness sank into the Demon Refining Pot, Lu Jin saw a gray space that seemed to have no end in sight, with a pile of monster flesh glowing with a gray light in the center, which was shrinking rapidly at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred kilograms of F-class monster meat disappeared, replaced by a marble-sized, pale red, crystalline bead.

The next moment, the spirit of the Demon Refining Pot transmitted the function of the light red bead to Lu Jin.

—A flawed apprentice-level Life Source Crystal. Life Source Crystals contain the essence of life, and absorbing them can increase one's life level without any side effects.

'Is its effect similar to cultivation treasures like the Spirit of Plants and Trees or Purple Dew?'

Looking at the pale red life crystal, Lu Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

As for whether it is incomplete?

Lu Jin completely ignored this point; the reason it was incomplete was simply because too little material was used.

Moreover, when the levels are the same, the only difference between a damaged Life Source Crystal and a complete Life Source Crystal is that the former has a smaller quantity and the latter has a larger quantity.

With a thought, a fragmented, pale red life crystal flew out of the mouth of the Demon Refining Pot and landed in Lu Jin's hand.

Without hesitation, Lu Jin threw the incomplete Life Source Crystal into his mouth.
