Rewards for the Ancient Capital / Contract of the Gate, Purification

Clearly, due to the inclusiveness of the Water Element, it is most influenced by the origin of King of Hell.

However, after Lu Jun experimented with it, he found that it was harmless and actually brought great benefits, even more so than the benefits of the Curse Element.

Any Water Element- based spell he casts summons dark blue spiritual water, which possesses a terrifying corrosive quality, capable of diminishing life force and melting flesh.

In essence, Lu Jun has acquired another [Innate Talent], which can be called [withering].

The two talents, Tide and Wither, are present regardless of which Spirit Seed or Soul Seed you switch to.

Lu Jun was astonished. Without realizing it, how could the Water Element be comparable to the Devouring Seed? It was about to advance to the Soul Seed, wouldn't that mean it would have three additional effects, making it invincible?

"What a great deal! The trip to the Ancient Capital was a complete success."

After checking on his own condition and finding him to be in good health, they then turned their attention to the external gains.

He became the 'Undead Emperor,' inheriting the legacy of the Ancient King; the Abyss of Calamity and the Undead Empire were all his.

But Lu Jun discovered a frustrating thing: only when he put on his Armor Robe and transformed into Emperor, the Eight Directions Undead Monarchs, would millions of undead loyally obey his commands and collect massive amounts of resources and materials.

His dream of getting rich quick was shattered. He had originally thought that with the support of an empire's resources, rapid advancement was just around the corner.

There might be rare and exotic fruits that can perfectly shape all six elements. For example, Mu Bai accidentally ate an exotic fruit, which caused his Ice Element and Poison Element to rise, allowing him to surpass others and become the first among Mo Fan and his group to break through to the Super Rank.

Unfortunately, Lu Jun didn't have enough resources to afford the Ancient King Armor Robe, so the vast resources of the region had to be temporarily wasted.

The Wind Element Heavenly Seed within the Abyss of Calamity, and the dark energy accumulated over the years at the Blood Altar that could elevate a certain undead to the position of monarch, were all put on hold.

"It's alright. Once I Super Rank, the pressure from the Ancient King Armor Robe should lessen considerably."

Lu Jun stroked his chin. The confrontation between the two was not static, but dynamic.

He would occasionally seek out Ding Yumian to relieve his Negative Emotions. The Lu Wei Xi picked up purified the remnants of the physical body's death essence, which would effectively prolong the erosion period.

Both Calamity Bringer had their own unique uses.

Just then, Lu Jun, having consolidated his cultivation, suddenly spoke calmly to the depths of darkness, "Since you've come, why not see me? Nine Nether Queen."

"As you wish." With that, a graceful woman in a white court dress appeared, her melodious laughter teasing, "Little fellow, I didn't expect you could suppress this Death Treasure and turn the tables on me."

Lu Jun sneered, "I am your king, you should call me Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Nine Nether Queen was not annoyed, but said meaningfully, "Only when you put on your Armor Robe and possess the power of Emperor will you be the true Your Majesty."

"If you ask me, what's so great about the Mortal World? Why not merge with the essence of death and become king instantly? That's like ascending to heaven in one step!"

Lu Jun was too lazy to listen to Nine Nether Queen's bewitching words. He believed that the dead would lose all the emotions and feelings of the living, and would be filled with violent, resentful and Negative Emotions. In a sense, it was a kind of torture and curse.

What's the point of such Longevity and Immortality?

It must be said that although Nine Nether Queen's words were unpredictable, her actions spoke louder than words; she had already come to regard him as her king.

He bluntly ordered, "I don't care what you think, but here's one thing: when I'm not around, you must keep an eye on the undead and prevent them from attacking humans at will."

"That's fine, but you should know that the undead are inherently bloodthirsty, so forcefully suppressing them is not advisable."

"I was prepared, you don't need to worry. There will be many battles in the future."

Chapter 250 The Ancient Capital rewards merit

Nine Nether Queen, Lu Jun drifted away.

The other person feigned reluctance and instructed that if anything happened, they could call out to her by lighting a candle and shining it into a mirror.

"I will certainly come to protect you."

Lu Jun scoffed at this, too lazy to pay attention to this drama queen. He was in a hurry to get back to his sister's place, knowing that Lu Mei would be very worried.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A moment later, he activated the Abyss of Calamity Space Teleportation. After a flash of silver light, he quietly appeared not far outside the Ancient Capital city. After passing the inspection of the city's guarding mage, he successfully entered.

When Lu Jun arrived at the hotel where he was temporarily staying, the destroyed structure had already been repaired by the Earth Element expert.

Even through the room, he could feel the intense heat emanating from her. He knocked on the door and called out, "Sister, I'm home!"

Click! The door opened, and my sister's graceful figure appeared. She pounced on him, and the sound of flesh colliding rang out.

In an instant, Lu Jun was jolted back several steps by the powerful impact.

He instinctively wrapped his arms around Lu Mei's slender yet voluptuous waist, forcing a smile onto his stiff face.

Before Lu Jun could react, his cheeks were cupped by a pair of fair and delicate hands, and he was facing a mature and charming face.

Lu Mei looked her younger brother up and down, nodded in satisfaction, then frowned and said, "It's good that you're not hurt, but why do you look so pale? You seem unenthusiastic. What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see your sister?"

"Really?" He was taken aback. He flipped his hand, and the water flowed into a dim mirror. Looking at himself, he realized that his face was gloomy and cold, not like a good person.

Within the Spiritual World, Ding Yumian's Main Soul spoke at the opportune moment, her Mind Telepathy: "You have been continuously affected by the Emperor's Armor Robe."

"The overwhelming Negative Emotions of the dead, filled with violence, resentment, and slaughter, are quietly eroding your subconscious and will eventually replace you with another personality."

"I'm helping you cleanse every moment right now, but this can't go on forever. Your Mind Element need to advance to a higher level as soon as possible to access the subconscious level and suppress these Negative Emotions, or perhaps..."

Ding Yumian hesitated slightly, then said shyly, "Find positive emotions to counteract them, like you are right now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's expression turned solemn. He hadn't expected the effects of the Ancient King Armor Robe to manifest so rapidly; he had underestimated it.

Looking at his concerned sister, he told the truth.

"What?! You mean the Ancient King Armor Robe that just appeared was yours?!"

Even though Lu Mei had some suspicions, she was still shocked by the truth and covered her mouth in surprise.

She immediately asked worriedly, "Are you alright, feeling overwhelmed by Negative Emotions?"

"I have a double guarantee: seize the time and improve your cultivation."

Lu Jun spoke concisely, but failed to notice his sister's thoughtful expression, as if she had ideas about positive emotional regulation.

"Never mind, it's good that you're back safe and sound. Difficulties can always be overcome."

Lu Mei said gently. She wasn't the kind of woman who would mince words. Her brother's actions were dangerous, but they needed that support.

Just then, someone arrived at the door. It was an Imperial Mage, clearly someone Han Ji had received news of his return and was inviting him to the Bell Tower Magic Association.

It's probably about post-war rewards and compensation.

Lu Jun hurriedly bid farewell to Lu Mei and gladly headed there. Led by the Imperial Mage, he arrived at the main hall of the Bell Tower.

The old man Han Ji was already waiting there, with Mo Fan, whose body was wrapped in bandages, beside him.

Upon seeing Mo Fan, he teased, "How was the Demon Relic? Pretty useful, huh?"

"It works well, that's all." Mo Fan's face fell, and he cursed, "But the side effects are serious. Damn it, I'm never getting involved in this kind of thing again. Let whoever wants to go, go."

"Hahaha."

Han Ji laughed heartily, not caring at all. He knew that Mo Fan was a man of justice, and that he was just talking the talk, but if something really happened, he would definitely be the first to rush to the front.

Don't judge a person by what they say, but by what they do.

As the laughter subsided, Han Ji looked at the two spirited young men with great satisfaction. He first said to Mo Fan, "I remember you wanted to participate in the National Prefecture War, but you don't have any National Government recommendation votes yet, right?"

"In that case, I've discussed it with the higher-ups in the Ancient Capital. The Magic Association, the Adjudication Court, and other major powers have pooled together three votes, enough to guarantee you a spot on the National Team."

"Furthermore, to prevent retaliation from the Black Vatican and sanctions from the Holy City, we will keep your Demonization a secret, but the promotion of your reputation will only be revealed to the outside world at an appropriate time."

Han Ji said gently, "It's just that you two have to go through this."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Mo Fan was delighted; the problem of the Nationalist government's votes that had been troubling him was easily resolved.

"These are all minor details," Han Ji said with a light cough. "As for any physical items you want, Ancient Capital provide full support within its capabilities."

"Really? Can we get seven or eight Star River Vein?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and he made an outrageous demand.

Han Ji's face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "Ancient Capital is broke. It's already a backward region in the west, and too many people have died in this battle. It needs subsidies and funds for reconstruction."

"Really?" Mo Fan scratched his head, then hesitated, remembering something, and said, "I want the most exquisite feather robe in the Ancient Capital Museum's collection, the [Glazed Phoenix Feather]."

"This antique is fine."

After saying that, Han Ji readily agreed. Although the feathered robe held extraordinary significance and was a priceless treasure of history, the friendship of his savior was boundless.

Lu Jun glanced at Mo Fan, vaguely remembering that the Glazed Phoenix Feather was originally a Super Rank Heavenly Magic Tool, but it had become incomplete and its magical energy had been completely lost after years of war.

It is suspected to be directly related to the Vermilion Bird, as it was worn by the Totem Guardian of that time.

Mo Fan then happily took the reward and went to Mount Hua for secluded cultivation to recover his magical energy as soon as possible.

Mo Fan's thoughts were simple. Having witnessed the magnificent scene of the feather robe being restored to its original state using restoration technology in the Ancient Capital, he decided that one day he would restore it completely and give it to Xin Xia. (Original text)

Only Han Ji and Lu Jun remained in the hall. They exchanged a glance and each thought to themselves, "Old fox/Little fox."

Han Ji wasn't lying; the Ancient Capital truly lacked funds. However, he had to consider Lu Jun's contribution to this upheaval, which involved almost the entire planning, especially the slaying of a Cardinal. The credit and reputation had to go to Lu Jun.

After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively asked, "You already have the votes from the National Government, how about I give you an Honorary Councilor position in the Ancient Capital?"

Lu Jun was surprised, not expecting Han Ji to bring it up himself. "Can I do it? I'm only at the high-level cultivation."

"Of course," Han Ji said with a smile. "You saved the entire city. Forget about the councilor position; from now on, our Ancient Capital will be your strongest support."

"Besides, your strength is such that you single-handedly wiped out an entire Undead Legion warriors. You're not much weaker than those Super Rank. You truly deserve the title."

"However, the position of the Honorary Councilor will only be revealed after we declassify the information."

Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction. "No problem, thank you for the promotion, Elder Han."

Chapter 251 The Gate of Contract, Purification

Lu Jun felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Little did Han Ji know, he felt he had gained even more. He was keenly aware of the potential of Lu Jun and her brother, Lu Jun, who had killed Councilor Luo Mian and was Lu Mei's Monarch Holy Spirit partner.

Why not share some common interests in the Ancient Capital and tie the two of them to the same chariot? Zhu Meng had also strongly recommended it.

Thinking of this, Han Ji's smile grew even brighter, and he casually said, "Our Ancient Capital museum has quite a few good things in its collection. I can offer you one as a token of my gratitude."

The antique and technological dimensions of the Magic World are different.

The former, mostly ancient Magic Tool artifacts, are not so fragile; they contain powerful energy and cannot be simply regarded as antiques, but rather as the city's heritage.

In this respect, the Ancient Capital is undoubtedly the most profound among all the major cities in Kyushu.

Han Ji asked, "You're Water Element triple- Curse Element Summoning System, right? We don't collect many Water Element artifacts; most are from the Bashu region. We have the most Curse Element. What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun scratched his head. He had already seen all the treasures in the Ancient Capital museum, and most of them were broken and dilapidated, like the glass feather robe, which was of little use.

He no longer needs the Curse Element; the Ancient King Armor Robe provides a greater boost than anything else, and the dual Water Element talents plus the Water Repelling Pearl are equally formidable.

He said nonchalantly, "It's Summoning System, you pick a good one."

"I see." Han Ji pondered for a moment, then reluctantly said to his subordinate, "Bring me that ancient bamboo slip."

A moment later, Imperial Mage entered carrying a jade tray, on which were placed old bamboo slips resembling those from the pre-Qin period.

Han Ji said with great reluctance, "The ancient contract [Gate of Contract], when your Summoning System reaches the high-level [Gate of Beast Tide], tear open the bamboo slip, and a massive energy will surge out, permanently changing your High-level Magic."

"In addition to the Summoned Beast tide, it can also have an extra Life Contract Beast, which has the ability to freely travel Two Realms and guard the Gate of Beast Tide."

Lu Jun was greatly surprised; this item was truly a supreme treasure of the Summoning System.

First, add an extra Life Contract. Keep in mind that most Summoner only have one Intermediate Level Life Contract and one Basic-Tier Dimensional Contract.

A very small number of highly skilled individuals may activate a second Life Contract at a higher level.

If he uses this [Gate of Contract], then Lu Jun is very likely to possess a third innate destiny.

The Summoning System is built with four Summoned Beasts, which is too overpowered. A single Summoned Beast of the same level can easily defeat several mages, and the four combined are practically invincible.

Of course, the drawback is that it consumes too many resources. Summoner generally support one Life Contract beast, while dimensional contracted beasts are more like cannon fodder and raised freely.

Even so, they hindered the development of their other Magic System.

Secondly, this Summoned Beast can freely travel between the Magic World and the Summoning Plane; don't underestimate this ability.

Although Dimensional Summon have the same function, they cannot remain in the real world for long and require magical energy to sustain them.
