With a splash, Lu Jun's figure burst out of the submerged waters of the tenth block, and was sent flying.

The greatest challenge is not the complex underwater environment, but the powerful currents and waves.

The Sea Monster surged up from the seabed; he wanted to delve deep into the ocean and traverse the Sea Battle City— essentially, someone going against the tide.

Anyone who has ever strolled through a shopping street knows that when the crowds surge in, you're forced to leave even if you don't want to move back.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Lu Jun tried several times from different directions, but each time he was pushed out before he could swim very far.

Damn it! He was furious. He had originally planned to sneak into the Elemental Demon's lair in the Mermaid Sea undetected, but now he was forced to take action and push his way through.

Of course, the Sea Monster are powerful, so we can't act recklessly. Killing them won't solve the problem; it will also disable our Mind Invisibility and make us a target. It would be best to use a gentler approach.

Buzz buzz buzz!

His eyes gleamed with Silver Light, and his body shone with a dark blue glow. Then, streams of water surged and began to rush forward.

Suddenly, the dense swarm of Sea Monster parted a narrow gap, and the waves behind Lu Jun surged, propelling him lightly into the gap and forcibly moving deeper into the depths.

During this time, Space Element Mind Control also acts as a bridge, using techniques such as teasing, pushing, tugging, or grabbing to drive away the Sea Monster in front of them.

The journey was extremely long. As Lu Jun swam deeper and deeper, the surrounding environment changed. First, the seawall streets progressed in layers, and after all traces of human construction disappeared, there were seaweed and reefs.

Lu Jun struggled to move, and within his Spiritual World, the magical energy of the two great star rivers —the Water Element and the Space Element— was rapidly depleting.

He cannot stop outputting magical energy. If he stops, he will lack power and be swept backward, which would be a waste of his efforts.

As time passed, Lu Jun's Water Element magic energy was exhausted. The Water Repelling Pearl above his head shone brightly as his stored magic energy began to deplete, filling another blue bar.

This little artifact grants him twice the magical power of others in Water Element.

Even so, his heart sank slowly, for the Sea Monster surging ahead seemed endless.

A person alone in the deep sea, surrounded by wolves and tigers, feels a sense of loneliness and fear.

Lu Jun had no choice but to use his Mind Element to soothe the Sea Monster around him, while simultaneously controlling them to protect him.

He discovered a new world in this, saving a lot of magical energy in the Space Element and Water Element.

Roar!

Amidst the vast horde of Demon Beast, a group of menacing Sawtooth Green Demon suddenly surged against the current. Most of the Sea Monster instinctively avoided them, for one person going against the current is not the same as a group of people going against the current.

This made things much easier for Lu Jun, and his progress suddenly accelerated several times over.

Along the way, they encountered some Commander Rank Demonic Beast were unhappy with the arrogance of mere cannon fodder soldiers, as well as various opposing races who wanted to take drastic measures.

However, Lu Jun was very clever and used his Mind Element to transmit the wrong message: "There is an urgent military report from the front. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to obstruct the process. Retreat immediately."

For a moment, even the supreme Demon Capital leader dared not make a move.

He carried a loudspeaker and broadcast the message along the way, fooling the Sea Monster.

Finally, just as their three magical energies were about to run out, the path ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a vast expanse where the dense swarm of Sea Monster thinned out instantly, and they finally made it through the Sea Monster' battlefield.

If the three elemental magic energies are exhausted before reaching the required level, the only option is to use Curse Element and Metal Element to force a breakthrough.

Lu Jun looked around and found himself in a wide trench, with cracks stretching for hundreds of kilometers and unfathomable depths. Caves were carved into the rock walls, inhabited by some merman Elemental Demon.

Above, ocean current channels crisscross the area, with countless Sea Monster shuttling through them, much like underwater highways transporting Demon Beast from the deep sea.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jun's eyes lit up; he knew he had entered the [Mermaid Sea].

Those mermaid Servant-level were three meters tall, with human-shaped blue skin on their upper bodies and fish tails on their lower bodies. They were robust, and their azure fish scales shimmered.

Well, they completely lack the beauty of the Mermaid. Regardless of gender, they all have fleshy faces, muscular bodies, and extremely ugly features, resembling the heads of fish that failed to transform, with gills on their cheeks.

"Never mind, I hope the Water Element Spirit isn't that ugly."

Lu Jun scratched his head, not daring to delay, and took advantage of the little bit of Mind Element magic energy he still had to quickly dive into the deep trench.

Along the way, the mermaids rested quietly in the crevices of the rock walls.

A moment later, he arrived at the deepest part, a huge nest, with three giant merfolk guarding the perimeter. They were majestic and imposing, with horns on their foreheads and an aura as heavy as mountains.

Each one was Commander-level being, twenty meters tall, with tails that vaguely resembled dragon tails; they were more like dragon people than Flood Dragon Person.

Lu Jun's eyes lit up. He realized that this was the core area protected by the merfolk, and he guessed that the Water Element Spirit lived inside.

He then passed through the three-headed merman leaders without much trouble. In fact, that made sense; the Mind Invisibility was too overpowered.

The only difficulty lies in traversing the sea battlefield; without a certain Water Element Cultivation, even those with Mind Element cannot reach this point.

When Lu Jun saw the situation inside, his eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "How could this be?!"

Chapter 299 A Missed Opportunity, Fortune and Misfortune Intertwined

Lu Jun entered the stone cave, and the world before him suddenly opened up before him.

He witnessed a shocking scene: the surrounding seawater was a dark, deep blue, and in the center stood a giant scallop, occupying an area of dozens of feet in circumference, floating on the vast, dark lake.

The giant scallop shell is open, its upper wall embedded with countless round pearls, shimmering with a dazzling light that softens the dull, deep blue color, turning it into a dreamy sky blue. Those crystal-clear pearls are like a glittering starry sea under the night sky, seemingly within reach.

The lower wall is made of soft, white, jade-like flesh, resembling a large bed; lying on it must be very comfortable.

A protective aura, resembling an inverted jade bowl, envelops the scallop, isolating it from the outside. Water vapor rises from its surface, swirling into a mist, like celestial mist, carrying a touch of dreamlike quality, reflecting seven-colored light, creating a magnificent and ethereal scene.

Seeing this, Lu Jun inwardly gasped; the Water Element Spirit really knew how to enjoy life.

This dark Xuan Shui Lake exudes a powerful Warm Spring that nourishes the human body, and the Water Element starry river in the Spiritual World, which was originally somewhat depleted, is visibly recovering.

However, Lu Jun's body was under immense pressure. As soon as he stepped into this place, the water pressure, hundreds of times greater than that outside, rushed towards him, as if it were thousands of meters deep in the ocean, making it hard to breathe.

If an ordinary high-level Water Element High-Order Mage were to arrive here, they would die from the ruptured blood vessels due to the immense water pressure.

Lu Jun discovered that every drop of water from all directions was incredibly condensed, with a density as hard as iron.

Fortunately, he possessed Water Repelling Pearl, granting him immunity to all Water Element magic below the high-level. Although the Xuan Shui was heavy, it was still within the high-level range, meaning he was essentially being baptized Water Element high- High-level Magic every moment.

"That's right, without extreme environments, Elemental Spirit cannot be born."

Lu Jun thought to himself that he had confirmed about 70-80% of the information about the old monk.

Even ordinary Super Rank would find it difficult to reach this place, let alone form a contract with a holy spirit.

But now that he has arrived, he feels no joy whatsoever, for the giant scallop is completely empty, with no creature lying on it.

Where is the Water Element Spirit?!

Lu Jun couldn't help but search everywhere, looking through every nook and cranny of this hidden paradise, but he found no trace of life.

"Could they have gone out hunting?"

He was anxious. His Water Element and Mind Element magic wouldn't last much longer. If the master of the lair didn't return, he would probably be forced to leave and use his Metal Element and Curse Element to break out of the sea.

Left with no other choice, Lu Jun swam around the nest, trying to find traces of the Water Element Spirit, when he suddenly spotted a glittering Beads in the center of the giant seashell.

Since its owner was not home, it boldly swam towards the shell, stepped onto the soft shell flesh, and only when it got closer did it realize that it was not a large pearl, but a deep blue crystal.

Lu Jun picked it up casually and sensed the vast water element energy contained within it.

"This is... [Water Element Crystal]!"

He quickly discerned the true nature of the deep blue crystal with his knowledge, and was shocked to discover that the so-called nano crystal was an ultimate fusion agent. It could be used to create magical artifacts with growth potential, and could be integrated into Magic System to cultivate elemental Devouring Seed. Its value was unparalleled.

I never expected the Water Elemental Spirit's Nest to have this thing.

Such an important Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, why doesn't it carry it with it? The nano crystal is just as important to the Water Element Spirit, and after reaching adulthood, it can master an additional Water Seed.

It is important to understand that racial hierarchy is one thing, while individual differences in development are another.

Take Mo Fan's Flame Princess as an example. An ordinary Flame Princess reaches the peak of Mid-level Monarch, but the future Little Flame Princess, after consuming the Time Fluid and the Totem Power, breaks through the limit and becomes Sub-Emperor.

This is equivalent to the difference between an ordinary Holy Body and Ye Fan.

Therefore, the Elemental Spirit would not carelessly miss this supreme treasure.

Lu Jun had a vague sense of unease and quickly explored the surrounding area for clues. There were some water marks on the stone walls of the nest, indicating that the Water Element Spirit seemed to have left in a hurry.

He fell into deep thought, his Mental Power spreading out, the Mind Element and Curse Element star systems flashing as he tried to capture the aura of the Elemental Spirit and sense their location.

Those at the initial stage of the Mind Element possess the ability of the Way of Sincerity, and those at the advanced stage have the means to remotely sense Mind Mark.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Lu Jun tried to explore, he was unable to find the location of the Water Element Spirit.

After waiting in the cave for a while, the three types of magical energy were nearly exhausted, and the master of the lair still hadn't returned.

Should we wait a little longer?

Lu Jun felt a heavy heart, thinking that the Water Element Spirit probably wouldn't return; all signs indicated that it had likely migrated to another place.

And it was just a recent event; the actions were rushed, and they couldn't even wait for the [Water Element Crystal] that was almost fully formed, leaving it lying there.

He wasn't sure if his guess was correct, but since things had come to this, he could only turn back and verify it next time. After all, the Water Element Spirit's Nest was right here.

Rumble!

Just as Lu Jun was about to leave quietly, a violent roar suddenly sounded outside, causing the entire nest to tremble and cracks to appear in the stone walls.

"It's going to collapse?! What happened outside?!"

Lu Jun was shocked and felt a strong sense of crisis. Deep in the sea, buried under giant rocks, even Forbidden Curse Mage would die. The human body was too fragile.

He wanted to escape, but standing in front of the cave, he first used his mental senses to probe the outside situation.

Then, to his horror, he saw countless Sea Monster surging down from above, while the merman Elemental Demon, the guardians of the lair, fought to the death to defend it, and a fierce battle ensued.

"What's going on? Didn't the Sea Monster of the Sea Demon Empire reach a non-interference agreement with the local merfolk?"

Lu Jun frowned deeply, and the nest shook uneasily, a sign of the turmoil caused by this great battle.

Of course, the nest had become extremely hard after being compressed and tempered by the Xuan Shui, and it was not so easy to shake. The key was that the three Commander-level Flood Dragon Person outside were besieged by various commander-level sea beasts, and the aftershocks were fierce.

The three Flood Dragon Person roared angrily, their enormous bodies swam and fought, stirring up the water to become turbid and surging endlessly.

While Lu Jun hesitated, the merfolk outside seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, being driven back by enemies that outnumbered them by more than ten times. Some Sea Monster began to sneak in, preparing to report the situation.

He quickly moved aside to let the messengers in, then took the opportunity to leave and wander around the chaotic battlefield, not forgetting to steal the Na Jing along the way.

This crystal is priceless; the trip was not entirely fruitless.

Lu Jun lingered on the edge of the battlefield, intending to take advantage of the chaos and find out the reason for the conflict.

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred; a powerful Mind Impact swept in from afar.

At first, Lu Jun didn't pay much attention. Sea Monster are all kinds of strange creatures, and it's not surprising that some Demon Beast use mental magic. He could just resist them.

It turned out that this Mind Impact was not leaked unintentionally, but was specifically targeted at him. It did not attack his soul, but broke through the Mind Invisibility effect around him.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Caught off guard, Lu Jun was caught off guard when the transparent ripples around him clashed violently with the colorful ripples swept by his opponent, instantly distorting his Mind Invisibility and exposing him to the chaotic underwater battle.

Chapter 300 The Deep Sea Gods!

Lu Jun's expression changed drastically. What was going on when a dog mixed in with a pack of wolves suddenly exposed itself?

He is now in this predicament, constantly in danger of being torn to shreds by the Sea Monster.

Suddenly, the two demon groups fighting near the seabed noticed Lu Jun and stopped their attack, falling silent.

Roar! In an instant, the Sea Monster rioted, each opening its blood-red maw and staring at him with bloodthirsty eyes, surging forward in unison. A delicious human, what a rare sight!

In other words, the merfolk were besieged and were too preoccupied to help themselves, otherwise they would have charged forward as well.

Lu Jun's expression was solemn. The fourth-level Intermediate Level Mind Magic had failed, and he couldn't activate it again. The so-called Mind Invisibility was actually a psychological deception.

If you openly expose yourself to the audience and attract a lot of attention, the magic effect will be greatly reduced, unless you get rid of the attention and change your appearance to work again.

"Who is it?"

He remained calm in the face of danger. Since he couldn't avoid it, he went on a killing spree. The only thing he was wary of was the existence that secretly broke his magic.

Mind Invisibility is ultimately an Intermediate Magic, not invincible.

Some Great Monarch could detect it, but beings specializing in the spiritual realm, such as the Nine Nether Queen, were even more likely to perceive the problem.

But Lu Jun asked himself honestly, his spiritual cultivation was already quite high, so the only thing capable of sensing him under these circumstances was an even more terrifying spiritual Demon Beast.
