Divine Seal's Blessing, Return to the Americas / The Brown Army; Diplomacy Before Force?

Lu Jun's spirit and intention sank into his dantian, and his soul and thoughts traversed the wide and powerful meridians and the strong and resilient internal organs. Then, his vision suddenly opened up, and he arrived at a vast and boundless dark swamp.

Splash!

The Northern Darkness Qi Sea surged and raged, while above, nine dark suns hung in the sky, showing no heat whatsoever. Instead, they were filled with a chilling aura, as if they were formed from the essence of water.

The next moment, Lu Jun withdrew his thoughts, and within a ball of dark light in his abdomen, nine crystal-clear, dark blue water droplets floated.

This is "Northern Darkness Heavy Water," formed from the condensation of vast amounts of water vapor. A single drop is equivalent to the volume of a lake, and when unleashed, it possesses immense power, overwhelming and equivalent to the minimum standard for Super Rank magic.

If one possesses ten drops, one will be virtually unrivaled among those of the same level, capable of altering the course of the Milky Way and causing waterfalls to flow backward. If one cultivates a thousand drops, one will essentially reach the ceiling of Super Rank, infinitely approaching the level of forbidden spells.

Lu Jun's Water Element advanced to the Super Rank, triggering a water element Tide spontaneously gathered nine drops, which will require a long time to accumulate slowly in the future.

The Supernatural Power - Northern Darkness Qi Sea excels in its instantaneous release, and the condensed Northern Darkness Heavy Water has an advantage in one-on-one battles between human mages, at least better than the Super Rank magic Cataclysmic Water Roar which can easily submerge an entire city.

Just as Lu Jun broke through to the Water Element Super Rank and was preparing to consolidate his cultivation, he suddenly felt a connection in his mind. At the same time, the Water Element Super Rank Star Sea trembled, and a round Beads rose from its depths.

Water Repelling Pearl! Solidify the Tide talent!

Lu Jun resonated with the spirit, stepped out of the Meditation Room, ignoring the panic of the countless magicians around him, and soared into the sky, looking towards the west.

Across the Atlantic Ocean, one can gaze upon the Americas.

He could sense something closely connected to him on the other side of the river. His soul momentarily dazed, and he inexplicably glimpsed a Buddhist temple and a thin monk dressed in a Buddhist robe.

"Peru, Wu Ku, Water Buddha Beads?"

Lu Jun murmured to himself, he had a feeling that the next sublimation of the Water Element would fall on the other person.

The Water Repelling Pearl can enhance his base power by 1.5 times, multiplied by the Northern Darkness Heavy Water by six times, reaching a total of nine times.

If I refine the Water Buddha Beads further, I wonder if I can go even further, perhaps even plunder the Water Element Calamity Bringer's talent?

In the original story, Zhao Manyan seems to have absorbed a portion of the other party's ability to Call Wind Summon Rain and rain, resulting in a rapid increase in his strength.

"It's time to deal with the Black Vatican."

In the past, considering his insufficient cultivation level, he had given up despite coveting Wu Ku's Water Buddha Beads. Now that his cultivation level has improved, killing a defensive mage of the first or second level of the Super Rank would be a piece of cake.

The only concern is the potential interference from the hidden resistance forces in Peru.

In mid-air, her older sister, Lu Mei, rushed over and asked with concern, "What happened? Did you encounter a problem in your cultivation?"

Lu Jun shook his head, smiling broadly, and said, "Very smoothly, Water Element Super Rank!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mei was delighted, yet also a little disappointed; her younger brother had truly surpassed her in every way.

He sensed his sister's mood and suddenly said mysteriously, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the room. I'll show you something good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mei's heart raced, her charming face flushed slightly, and she glared at him.

After negotiating with the Magic Association and clearing up the misunderstanding, the two returned to their rented private villa.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Inside the room, Lu Mei stared in disbelief at the graceful, ethereal image of a goddess appearing in the air behind her brother. Her holy and noble aura emanated from her, and her vast divine power was contained within, yet she remained sacred, awe-inspiring, and inviolable.

The older sister was silent for a while. She mistakenly thought that Lu Jun had broken through and that it was something to celebrate, but she didn't expect it to be this precious baby.

Composing herself, she asked with a puzzled look, "Is this Parthenon's soul, possessing the Resurrection Divine Art?"

"That's right." Lu Jun sensed that Parthenon Divine Soul was restless after it manifested, seemingly wanting to transcend, but it was restrained by the Ancient King Armor Robe within his body.

If Wen Tai were still alive, given his entanglements, the vengeful spirit of Emperor alone would not be enough to suppress him.

Unfortunately, with Parthenon, the goddesses, and Saintess all dead, the remaining people are powerless against him.

Lu Jun calmly said, "I can control the divine soul and bestow [Divine Seal Praise]. Which of your four elements—earth, fire, wind, and chaos—would you like to receive this blessing?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mei gasped. Only the top student in the National Government could receive a blessing; she never expected it to be so readily available.

Moreover, being blessed by the Parthenon Divine Soul is equivalent to the goddess personally solidifying your Divine Seal Praise upon you, making it far superior in quality to the blessing of the Temple Mother.

She fell into deep thought. Of the four magic systems, she first ruled out Chaos Element, because as Magic System that relies on mental amplification and is more adept at trickery than destruction, Divine Seal Praise could not be used to its fullest potential.

Moreover, the Chaos Element has only recently awakened and is only at the Intermediate Level.

Lu Mei's best approach is to choose from the three elemental systems. She can absorb the energy of the Heart of the Earth to upgrade her earth and fire elements to the Super Rank, and she can refine the Star Sea Vein a month ago and master Super Rank magic for the Wind Element.

Chapter 468 Divine Seal Praise, Return to the Americas

Lu Mei ruled out Wind Element, as she had only refined the Spirit Seed and couldn't immediately boost her combat power. Earth Element or Fire Element?

Beside him, Lu Jun heard his sister want to choose the Fire Element, and the power of the Golden Burning Heart Flame doubled, reaching twelve times. With Jiang Feng's possession, his strength increased even further.

He was pondering. Fire Element was indeed good, but it inevitably led to unorthodox methods. However, that wasn't the main problem. There were many powerful individuals who could rely on a single skill to succeed.

Take Mo Fan for example. If the Divine Seal Praise is given to the Fire Element, the Lightning Element will certainly become weak. However, the combination of Divine Seal Praise + Heavenly Seed of Renewed Light + Monarch Flame Princess is still worth imagining.

However, there is no connection between the older sister and Jiang Feng; they are merely temporary residents. Jiang Feng has some Karma ties to her, and her mother, Yan Shi, may not be willing to let her daughter stay with Lu Mei indefinitely.

Lu Jun said, "Choose the Wind Element. I have a Wind Element Heavenly Seed. Or, Earth Element. I know someone who can refine your rock seed into a Heavenly-level Devouring Seed."

The former is the Death Wind Scythe Heavenly Seed stored in the Abyss of Calamity, and the latter is the Earth Element Nascent Crystal of Rock City.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mei was stunned for a moment, then decided to trust her younger brother unconditionally. She used the Wind Element to carry the Divine Seal Praise, and was also the only Magic System that mastered Super Rank magic.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As soon as Lu Jun had a thought, the phantom of the goddess behind him radiated a holy blessing, with countless strands falling onto his sister's brow.

Suddenly, Lu Mei peered into her Spiritual World and saw that the azure Wind Element star sea was covered with a mysterious radiance, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing, quite unstable.

He cautioned, "Hurry up and absorb this energy, solidify it completely, otherwise it will gradually dissipate over time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mei knew the matter was urgent. Without exchanging pleasantries with her younger brother, she turned and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun manipulated the illusory divine soul behind him to bestow a blessing upon his Metal Element.

Within the pitch-black universe, a vast, platinum-colored river was enveloped in mysterious light, and a black-gold sword seal at its center was imbued with a sacred aura.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Athena's divine soul disappeared behind Lu Jun. She sensed the Metal Element galaxy and discovered that it already had a 3x base power boost. Once it solidified in a month, it should be a bit stronger than Mo Fan's.

The siblings both went into seclusion to absorb the nutrients as quickly as possible.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The commotion Lu Jun caused in Africa gradually subsided. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to invite Lu Jun, the Super Rank members of the Cape of the Cape Magic Association gave up, to avoid wasting their efforts.

The peaceful days passed by.

Until one day, Lu Jun woke up. When he opened his eyes, an incomparably sharp aura rose from his body, and his whole body was shrouded in a layer of Platinum Glow, which almost pierced the sky.

He was excited; the effects of the Metal Element absorbing the Divine Seal Praise far exceeded his expectations. In addition to the Pharaoh's Spring emanating from the treasure [Death Emblem] locking in the loss of mysterious power, there was also the Healing System's divine soul assistance.

Compared to Mo Fan, his conditions are exceptionally favorable.

The final solidification of the Divine Seal Praise amplifies the base power by 2.5 times!

[2.5 times] Ah!

This means the Metal Element has completely taken off.

It should be noted that Lu Jun's White Tiger Pendant Totem also provides a boost to the base power. The two combined are equivalent to 4.5 times the base power. Multiplying this by the effect of the Sword Sacrifice, it currently gains a [9 times] power boost.

Because base power is multiplicative, Sword Sacrifice is additive, the latter doubles the power with each level, so 4.5 x 2 = 9!

Seeing this, Lu Jun was in high spirits. His pure Killing Power of the Metal Element had also reached the Super Rank. Now, the Four Elements curse, mind, water, and metal were all considered to be in the ace category in the Super Rank.

From then on, he had essentially digested all the knowledge and experience he had accumulated before entering the Nationalist government.

The only remaining option is the [Void Token] from the Australia Sacred Altar of Kai Magic Association, which allows entry into the Nirvana Holy Land to break through to the Super Rank, with a success rate as high as 70% to 80%.

Lu Jun has already made his decision. With such a strong boost from the Metal Element, breaking through to the Super Rank will only be like adding wings to a tiger.

"Currently, Summoning, Time and Space, Life, and Death cannot reach the Super Rank in a short time."

After some consideration, he realized that these Four Elements weren't urgent. The latter two had the Parthenon Divine Soul and the Ancient King Armor Robe, so they were more than capable of reaching the Super Rank and even using Forbidden Spells.

The first two methods can be used to summon beasts by searching within the Summoning Plane and improving their Summoned Beast level, while the latter involves searching for the Eye of Time and Space in Peru.

Lu Jun had not forgotten that he had obtained a trace of the Eye of Time and Space, making him qualified to inherit its power.

"This is perfect. We can go to Peru on the way, then head west to Australia, and then return to Kyushu."

Lu Jun thought to himself that his training at the National Government was exactly along this route, circling the globe, and now his return to the Nine Provinces was the same.

However, this time he did it with the dignified status of a Super Rank expert, sweeping through acupoints with lightning speed, and dominating all in his path.

At the same time, her older sister Lu Mei also ended her seclusion, opened her beautiful eyes, and smiled broadly, looking like she had gained a lot.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jun quickly asked, "How did it go?"

Lu Mei replied in a good mood, "The Wind Element has been boosted by 1.7 times, which has significantly increased my combat power."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun nodded in agreement. Indeed, it was excellent, second only to Mo Fan, and represented the limit of conventional methods.

The siblings emerged from their seclusion, Jun Yaojin stared at them with resentment, saying softly, "Another month has passed without a trace."

Lu Jun felt a little embarrassed, but generously said, "I'm sorry, I'll arrange the Star Sea Vein for you when we return to Kyushu. I'm not short of money."

As for the Divine Seal Praise, he hesitated. Jun Yaojin had worked hard these past few days, even if he hadn't achieved anything, so he could probably trust him.

If all else fails, Lu Jun will temporarily bestow his blessing upon the other party, binding Jun Yaojin to his body and soul, so that he will not fear betrayal.

Jun Yaojin, already a seasoned slacker, waved her hand dismissively and said, "Fine, boss, just tell me straight, where's our next stop?"

Lu Jun coughed lightly. "Go buy three plane tickets to Peru."

There was no other way; Secretary Qing Yu wasn't around, so Jun Yaojin had to run errands. Fortunately, she was very organized, which made things much easier.

Soon, the three of them boarded a plane and set off.

As soon as Lu Jun left the Cape of Good Hope, the somber atmosphere throughout Africa vanished, and both Demon Beast and humans breathed a sigh of relief.

On the plane, Lu Jun looked down at the vast grassland below, thinking to himself that he would come back again next time. When he had accumulated enough strength, he would go straight for the Pharaoh Empire, and he would not even spare the remains of the Mother of Medusa.

Those were among the first cursed Mind Mage; they must have many secrets.

He had secretly placed marks on Apasi and Euryale, allowing him to monitor their condition at all times.

At this moment, Lu Jun was heading to the Americas.

Inside a mysterious Buddhist church in the Peru capital, several figures met, roughly divided into two groups.

One side was led by Wu Ku, surrounded by Black Vatican Member; the other side consisted of several powerful Super Rank mages.

If any local Peru were here, they would be shocked, as these individuals are all high-ranking officials who frequently make the news.

Chapter 469 The Brown Army: Courtesy First, Then Force?

The Buddhist temple was led by a middle-aged man dressed in a brown robe, holding a scepter, exuding an air of authority and indifference.

He was Nan Zhuo, the future leader of the Brown Rebel Army who would unleash a massive rebellion.

Currently, he wields immense power and influence in Peru, and even holds considerable sway in the secret discussions among several coastal nations, including Chile, Peru, and Colombia, regarding the formation of New Federation.

No one with any sense in the world can ignore the crisis coming from the ocean. In recent years, Sea Monster have become increasingly active, and large-scale invasions have occurred in just one or two years. Coastal countries are actively discussing solutions.

However, human nature is unpredictable, and without a real natural disaster, it has been difficult to reach a unified agreement for a long time.

Nan Zhuo was quite disgusted. Those corrupt officials and nobles were sacrificing the interests of his faction and exploiting the native inhabitants. He didn't want to tolerate it any longer and made thorough preparations.

Beside him stood a beautiful young girl, dressed in a pure purple dress, as pure as an elf. She wore black-rimmed glasses, which added to her scholarly air, making her look like a naive female student.

Behind them were a cold-faced man in a silver-white robe, a wild man in a tiger-skin robe with tattoos on his face, and a domineering general with a golden-white beard.

Shaga, White Leopard, Cold Tiger, Damon...

The former is Nan Zhuo's younger sister, while the latter three are powerful subordinates he has gradually subdued over the years, each possessing formidable strength in the Super Rank realm and having made considerable progress.

This group is basically the core team; they trust each other and all know what he wants to do.

Nan Zhuo stared at the monk Wu Ku, who looked like a vagrant, and slowly said, "I have already found the Supreme Water Origin Crystal for you. May I ask if the Celestial Master has any other requests?"

Wu Ku shook his head and said in a low voice, "When do you want to unleash this torrential rain?"

"No rush," Nan Zhuo said in a good mood. "The anger of the lower classes needs to accumulate to a certain limit before it can erupt with power. It would be best to wait for the Sea Monster to attack and distract them with some of their energy."
