Day of the Sacrifice, Qian-Kun Stone / The Amazon Descends, Day of Destruction
The Six Great Star Rivers, enhanced by various magical techniques, shine with different brilliance: the platinum of the Metal Element, the pitch black of the Water Element, the dark red of the curse, the dark silver of space, the moon white of summoning, and the azure of the mind.
They are distributed in a pattern of three large and three small.
Then came a series of pleasant surprises, a double celebration.
Whether it was due to sufficient accumulation, or stimulation from the Summoning System Spirit Carving Method, the Mind Element Li Fan Flower Method, or the Space Element Spacetime Energy, his spiritual realm finally underwent a long-awaited change.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lu Jun felt a cool sensation in his mind, which nourished his soul. A subtle feeling of his soul growing strong and resilient arose within him.
The other self-created techniques, such as the Spirit Sword, the Mind Palace, and Soul Evasion, are all becoming more powerful.
With a thud, he broke through to the Sixth Realm of Mental Power. His forehead glowed, turning a deep blue, and his boundless Mental Power soared into the sky. His entire body became transparent and distorted, causing the void to tremble.
He has reached the peak of the intermediate realm, with enhancements comparable to top-tier Soul Seed, resulting in an amplification of over six times. The power of his curses, spatial abilities, mental abilities, and summoning abilities has increased once again.
He felt that at the Venice tournament, the Curse Element alone would be enough to sweep aside all the top teams from the national teams.
Furthermore, the Faith Mark on the Li Fan Flower was successfully completed.
Lu Jun was immersed in a wonderful state of sublimation, feeling a mysterious energy surging in his Mind Element. At first, it was very small, but it had a sense of omnipotence, transformation between the virtual and the real, and the feeling of a concrete entity.
It then began to grow, and during this time he could faintly hear the shouts of countless people.
"The Bo City Sword Immortal is truly a good mage who protects the people."
"Thanks to this mysterious expert, otherwise Bo City would have truly been destroyed by the Black Vatican and the One-Eyed Magic Wolf clan working together from within..."
"This freshman named Lu Jun is impressive; he managed to expose Black Vatican Member in Magic City and acted decisively."
"Fortunately, Lu Jun, a student from the Pearl Academy, stood up; otherwise, we would have become the sinners who framed Hangzhou's guardian— the Totem Mysterious Snake."
"The Ancient Capital survived entirely thanks to the efforts of that informant, oh, and the mercy shown by this resurrected Undead Emperor [Ying Zheng]."
"Lu Jun, I, Salang, will haunt you even in death!!"
"Damn it, our Lu Family will definitely take revenge on you."
There were friendly ones, resentful ones, those who worshipped and admired, and those who roared with Killing Intent.
The dark silver galaxy of the Space Element shimmered, and these sounds seemed to transcend time and space, transforming into bursts of chanting, like the supreme deity being worshipped.
Lu Jun closed his eyes, and his body slowly floated up from the ground. A halo of faith and spirituality surrounded him, and under the nourishment of various beliefs, his unique Power of Imagination was growing stronger.
It should be noted that the mark of the Li Fan Flower is merely a seed, allowing him to attempt to grasp this great power. However, to truly develop and expand it, he must rely on his own efforts, and the influence of his past deeds will fully erupt at this moment.
When Gunnar, the chief of the Mind Institute, saw this scene, his usually calm expression finally revealed a hint of surprise.
Inside the spacious and solemn high-rise hall, countless strands of starlight fell from the azure sky above, and Lu Jun, like a divine child, was suspended in mid-air receiving a baptism.
He awoke, feeling an urge welling up within Mind Element.
Immediately, Lu Jun could no longer hold back, opened his eyes, and softly uttered a single word. "Light!"
The power of Mind Element magic surged, Power of Imagination overflowed, manifesting in the outside world and condensing into a beam of pure white light.
If Light Element mage were here, they would immediately recognize that this was clearly the Light Shine of Primary Magic.
That wasn't all; Lu Jun then continued, "Earth, Fire, Wind, Water!"
A piece of yellowish-brown rock materialized out of thin air, a cluster of crimson flames burned fiercely, a whirlwind of blue light soared upwards, and a cloud of blue mist gently spread.
Centered on him, the four elements surrounded him, and a hazy light membrane enveloped an area of several meters in radius—that was the Imagination Domain!
"Creation from nothing, fabrication out of thin air."
After trying it out for a while, Lu Jun was shocked by his own abilities. They were unprecedented and unparalleled, capable of simulating all sorts of Magic System.
Not to mention that this is nothing; the Power of Imagination is omnipotent, and how it is used depends on one's imagination.
However, he found that this faith energy was being consumed rapidly, lasting only a few seconds before being almost completely depleted.
Moreover, fantasy is ultimately illusory; it can only be exercised freely within the Imagination Domain, or rather, the realm of idealism.
Currently, it seems that simulating magic from other Magic System is the easiest thing for Lu Jun, but attempting to create physical swords that have existed for a long time will be extremely difficult.
Lu Jun pondered, thinking to himself, "So, to resurrect someone through the Imagination Domain is merely a false resurrection. It will fail as soon as they step outside the range of my mind, and immortality is also a falsehood."
Furthermore, what immense power of faith would be needed to sustain the revival of the Imagination Domain?
But he was quite satisfied.
"I never expected this..."
Even the high priest Gunnar below murmured, "I only wanted to use the peaceful Power of Imagination as a harmonizing agent for transforming spacetime energy, but this power of faith can actually do more."
The initial concept of summoning infinite replication was a spatial carrier and a mind converter.
In mid-air, Lu Jun fell from his floating state. His Imagination Domain could not be expanded for the time being. He discovered that as long as those who resented or respected him still existed, they would continuously replenish his faith power.
He will probably need to accumulate Power of Imagination to materialize a High-level Magic from another Magic System. His maximum output depends on his Mind Element level.
Forget about temporary resurrection; it's impossible without forbidden spells, so it feels a bit useless.
Fortunately, there is no upper limit to the accumulated faith energy, which is equivalent to an infinitely large pool, while the outlet pipe is linked to cultivation level.
"Isn't this forcing me to cause trouble?"
Lu Jun complained that from then on, his actions seemed like those of a god walking among Mortal World. He looked up at the sky and saw that the azure star above the hall of the Mind Institute had dimmed slightly.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel tempted, then shook his head.
This power of faith representing the entire Inca Empire could not be absorbed by Lu Jun. It was not his faith and would only cause distortion. Even the chief dared to only draw upon a tiny amount of power as a seed to plant the Li Fan Flower Dharma in him.
After a moment, he looked away and thanked the priest, saying, "Thank you for your help."
"It's alright." Gunnar shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to succeed so easily. You are the only person in the world who has successfully inscribed the Faith Mark of the Li Fan Flower. You will surely become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future, and your name will be etched in the annals of history."
He paused, then said with a hint of doubt, "Has your Mind Element been influenced by someone who Mind Calamity? Otherwise, it's hard to explain how perfect it is."
Chapter 337 The Day of Sacrifice, the Qiankun Stone
Lu Jun felt a chill run down his spine; he Mind Calamity... He often swapped souls with Ding Yumian, subtly influencing each other, and his soul had already undergone subtle changes.
I never expected it would be helpful in learning the Li Fan Flower Dharma.
Yes, that makes sense. The souls of those who Mind Calamity are of extremely high status, possessing divinity, which is called soul status, allowing them to bear the power of faith like deities.
In this light, he was truly fortunate. Both his Space Element and Mind Element possessed unique qualities and extraordinary talents, making the success of his two new methods an unexpected stroke of luck.
Of course, in reality he wouldn't need to explain so much, and would vaguely reply, "Really? I don't know."
"That's enough." The old priest with white hair and beard remained calm as always, not delving into the matter further, and said indifferently, "Your summoning, mind, and space are all complete. Rest tonight, and perform the ritual immediately to make contact with the Sacred Eye of Time and Space."
Finally, it's here. Lu Jun was filled with mixed emotions. He had been in this mysterious space-time for more than a month, and his hope of returning home was just around the corner.
What if the Eye of Time and Space is useless? Then there's nothing more to say but to force open the Ancient King Armor Robe and break out of the Space-Time Town.
He arrived in this space-time and never stepped out of the sacred land. He had some vague guesses in his heart that there might be a limit, and that crossing the barrier would cause him to "awaken from his dream" or cause a violent change.
But this is a last resort; brute force should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Lu Jun came to his senses and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Chief, for planting the Li Fan Flower Mark on me."
"Not just for you, but for this great nation."
Gunnar shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go back."
He took his leave, staying at the Summoning Institute for the time being. Countless buildings in the town outside were destroyed, including his own home, and the whole town was covered in white mourning clothes.
That night, Lu Jun slept soundly, and when he woke up, Elder Mina sent someone to invite him over.
Inside the Summoning Institute, the old man had a smile on his face, but it was clearly forced.
Lu Jun's mind raced. Could it be that the empire's war situation was dire?
Mina said, "There's no time to lose. Let's head to the Place of Sacrifice. All the living people in the city have gathered; we're just missing you, the main figure."
Upon hearing this, he became solemn and nodded slightly.
Mina then led the way, and when they passed the stone sculpture forest behind the Summoning Institute, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation outside now?"
Lu Jun had his own convictions. Although he had been trapped in this mysterious region for a month, his cultivation potential had improved the most rapidly in the past.
The Inca Empire was helpful to him, and even though the Eye of Time and Space was confirmed to allow him to return, he was determined to stay until the final battle before returning. He even used the Ancient King Armor Robe to restrain an Emperor for the Inca.
Mina's expression seemed to return to calm, a faint smile playing on her lips as she said gently, "Little Lu Jun, there's no need to worry. Everyone has their own responsibilities. Your responsibility is to focus on the current Nasca Plan."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
Suddenly, the elder stopped, turned to face Lu Jun, pondered for a moment, and took out a strange stone from his bosom. It was perfectly round, with a bluish-yellow hue, a smooth and flawless surface, and nine hidden orifices. It was about 3.65 inches in Size Change.
Seeing this, Lu Jun was puzzled and stunned. "What is this?"
Mina explained, "One of the many treasures in our Inca collection, the [Qiankun Stone], is said to be a divine stone born from the collapse of the singularity after the destruction of the plane. In terms of material, it should be a forbidden, Emperor- level material."
"It possesses two contradictory characteristics: infinite weight and lightness, much like the embodiment of earth and air. When lifted by the wind element, it is light; when supported by the earth element, it is immovable."
"Therefore, it must never be placed on the ground. At that time, the Qiankun Stone will take root in the earth's veins, and even the power of Earth Element forbidden spells cannot shake it. In our Inca language, it is also called the 'Immovable Stone'."
As they were talking, Mina casually handed over the Qiankun Stone. In Chinese, Qiankun represents heaven and earth, which is similar to the characteristics of this divine stone. Translated, it means "Yadaxin."
Lu Jun hurriedly took it and found that the strange stone was indeed as light as air in mid-air, and he could not feel it at all.
He listened to Elder Mina's words and carefully picked it up, afraid that if he accidentally dropped it on the ground, the stone would be impossible to pull out and completely ruined.
Mina smiled and said, "I'm giving you the Qiankun Stone. Its texture is immortal; even forbidden spells can't melt it. The idea of using it to forge Magic Tool has failed. Wind Element and Earth Element magicians also don't know how to use it and are at a loss."
"It's usually been stored away in the treasure vault, gathering dust in a corner. Consider it a gift for your successful encounter with the Eye of Time and Space."
Lu Jun scratched his head. If it couldn't be used, it was too useless. What good could it possibly do?
"Hehehe." Mina noticed her junior's confusion and smiled, offering guidance. "Material things cannot be changed, but the spirit can be engraved. All things have a spirit. Have you forgotten what I taught you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's mind suddenly cleared, and he recalled the [Spirit Carving Method] of the Summoning System. This technique is applicable to Dimensional Summon, Beast Tide Summoning, and even Super Rank Ancient Demon Gate summoning.
However, no matter how you look at it, the beast hordes and temporary Summoned Beast it generates are all based on its cultivation level and will never exceed its own strength. At most, they are just a technique to make the summoning flexible and unpredictable, making it difficult for enemies to defend against.
Mina said that the ultimate stage of the Word Spirit Carving Method is to sculpt non-existent beasts, and currently, his Mind Element, having mastered the Power of Imagination, has only just begun to touch the threshold.
Mina said in a distant tone, "The Spirit Carving Method can only sculpt one perfect ancient beast in a lifetime, because talent and mental strength are limited. The ability to Summoned Beast in a dream depends on both cultivation level and the chosen vessel."
"With your talent and mental strength, the Qiankun Stone is the perfect fit. It can accommodate even the most outrageous imagination."
Lu Jun's breath hitched, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Finally, he accepted the Qiankun Stone, placed it on his forehead, and silver Mental Power overflowed. He used the Power of Imagination to cleanse it, breaking through the illusion and directly absorbing it into his Spiritual World.
That's not surprising. The Dark Universe can contain physical Magic Tool, so it can naturally also collect divine stones.
He glanced inward hastily and saw a pale blue-yellow stone floating in the center of the moon-white Summoning Star River, surrounded by 343 stars. A strong connection welled up in his heart and blood, completely refined by the contract, leaving only the long years to carve it all out.
In addition, the azure blue Milky Way of the Mind, marked with a Li Fan Flower, and the dark silver Milky Way of Time and Space, marked with an ouroboros ring, are both surrounded by stars, and the three resonate with each other.
If you add the Metal Element Natal Magic Tool [Tai'a Sword Seal], the Water Element [Water Repelling Pearl], Curse Element [Blood Abyss Curse Mark], you will have all Six Major Elements magic systems. Cultivating them to the peak of the high level will lay a solid foundation for Super Rank and forbidden spells.
Lu Jun was excited and quickly thanked the elder.
"There's no need for that; it's all for the Inca."
Mina turned around and walked away, earnestly repeating the same words as the Chief of the Mind Institute.
As they passed through the central Stone Gate of Stars Holding the Moon, the teleportation fluctuations surged violently, their vision blurred, and then everything suddenly opened up.
Waaaaah!
Lu Jun looked around and was suddenly surprised to find himself standing on the top of a high mountain, with the wind blowing fiercely from all directions.
The sky and earth are extremely open, giving one the feeling of "standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at all the mountains below".
The sun blazed overhead, directly facing the circular altar where the two stood. The golden morning light illuminated the area, making it appear magnificent and resplendent. The two men radiated divine light with every gesture, like gods descended from heaven.
Not far ahead, a huge, crystal-clear pupil floated in mid-air, gleaming with a dim, yellowish luster reminiscent of the passage of time, with strange patterns outlined on it.
Chapter 338 The Amazon Arrive, The Day of Destruction
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lu Jun was in a daze, feeling the mysterious spatial fluctuations coming from ahead, and a dark silver Time-Space Element galaxy in his Spiritual World was also resonating with them.
