Yantai's Finale; Full Super-Tier Cultivation and Monarch-Level Strength? / Trip to the Demon Capital; Persuasion Through Tall Tales

Lu Jun decided, "After refining the Purple Linden Fruit, we'll give the remaining seeds to Sister Tang Yue later. Anyway, she won't be advancing to the Super Rank so soon."

Chapter 505 The Yantai Falls in Yantai, Super Rank Grandmaster's Combat Power?

Lu Jun put the [Purple Linden Fruit] into his Portable Space.

Originally, the immense Evil Power contained in this treasure was enough to fill Mo Fan's Evil Bead with energy, thus making a great contribution to preventing the Pharaoh Pyramid from invading the Nine Provinces. Mo Fan used this to transform into a demon to fight against many Undead Monarch.

Therefore, simply refining it to advance Super Rank Curse Element by three levels would be a waste of its potential.

"As for Mo Fan..."

He stroked his chin, realizing that only his intervention had perfectly resolved the hidden dangers of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree and also saved Yan Shi, a powerful figure who could break through the forbidden spell at any moment.

If Mo Fan doesn't have the power to intervene, countless regrets will arise.

Moreover, he has been keeping a close eye on Leng Jue's situation, monitoring his location, and ready to eliminate him at any time.

Lu Jun plans to finish this in the next few days, which will eliminate the need for Mo Fan to transform into a demon. Using fewer forbidden abilities will actually benefit Mo Fan, allowing him to grow much faster than in the Original Timeline.

In short, given Lu Jun's current cultivation level, he doesn't care about opportunities or crises. He's happy when he gets them, but if there's any responsibility or disaster, he'll just slay it with a single sword stroke.

"We could make time to visit the Oath Tree in the Qinling Mountains. The Oath Blessing Fruit and the remaining power of the Colorful Divine Deer totem originate from the Azure Dragon Totem, which the White Tiger Pendant cannot absorb. Let's take Mo Fan with us while we're at it."

Lu Jun pondered that he would have to return to the Ancient Capital sooner or later, and it was actually on the way.

Finally, Yan Shi, Lu Mei, and Jiang Feng stayed behind and lived in seclusion deep in the Kunlun Mountains for a period of time before he left with reluctance.

Buzz! With a thought, Lu Jun's body shimmered with silver light, and with a few leaps, he covered dozens of kilometers, flying out of the Kunlun Mountains.

He suddenly stopped, standing in the void, looking down at the outer edge of the Kunlun Mountains. An endless battle line stretched out, and tens of thousands of warriors and mountain men roared Ghost Shadow lurked in the forest, attempting to break through the human defenses and retreat from the Kunlun Mountains.

Unfortunately, a large number of human mages refused to retreat and forged a defensive line to block their advance.

Instantly, blood and flesh splattered on the ground, multicolored light flashed, the elements of heaven and earth were in chaos and raging, and countless spells bombarded the area. The two were clearly separated, with a long, winding, blood-red line at the boundary, winding around dozens of mountain peaks.

"Mountain Tribe?"

Seeing this, Lu Jun frowned. When they were attacking the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, the Demon Beast tribes that lived on it were in big trouble and all left in a hurry.

Fortunately, he had instructed Nie Lengshan to build a defense system before entering the mountains, so the mountain people did not rush into the city of Yantai.

"The casualties are too great."

Lu Jun watched as many hunters were killed, and then he saw a beautiful woman at the back of the battle formation releasing wave after wave of healing blessings, which blessed many mages, but unfortunately only about a hundred people were affected.

This woman was none other than Jun Yaojin. Although she had reached the Blessing Element Super Rank, she was still inferior to the Supreme Monarch in strength, so she stayed in Yantai.

"Never mind, things should be done properly from beginning to end."

He murmured to himself, controlling the stars, and a milky white Star Chart was drawn, with a surge of boundless vitality.

Buzz buzz buzz!

One by one, Life Sprite descended from the sky, like holy goddesses and angels, and were seen by most people.

Before Nie Lengshan could even become alert, he saw the Life Sprite raise her hand, and a towering, milky-white pillar of light descended, enveloping more than a dozen people. With a wave of her jade hand, three or four beautiful butterflies fluttered and danced, instantly leaping among the group.

The milky white ribbon was passed from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand!

In a short time, the light enveloped the entire army. The hunters' bodies and flesh were rapidly healed in the white glow that showered down from the sky, and their spirits were transformed from listless and exhausted to full of vitality, with boundless energy surging forth.

Lu Jun unleashed Intermediate Magic Life Element magic without stopping.

Although casting a spell consumes a small portion of the Nebula's magical energy and can only condense a maximum of two Life Sprite at a time, it is not a problem to contend with the eight major elements. The Life Element and Death Element, in particular, do not require any concern about magical energy consumption, Calamity Talent is inexhaustible.

Ultimately, the humans gained momentum and decisively defeated the mountain tribe.

The mountain tribes ceased to be organized and began to scatter and flee in all directions.

Since Lu Jun took action, not a single soldier in the army has died—a terrifying number.

Mo Fan below also enjoyed the healing effect. He was at the third level of the high-level Lightning Fire Dual-Rank, and could summon spiritual space at will. He was killing everyone in his path, and a single Intermediate Level skill could kill dozens of warriors.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but say sourly, "Damn, Lu Jun's Super Rank awakened Healing System is still so monstrous, no weaker than his main Water Element or Curse Element."

In mid-air, Lu Jun, finding it troublesome, didn't go down. Instead, he exchanged a few words with Nie Lengshan Mind Telepathy, informing him that the Demon God Tree was dead, and then returned to Yantai.

The matter concerning the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree is now closed.

Lu Jun stayed in Yantai for a few days, closed his eyes to meditate and digest what he had gained. After returning to Jiuzhou, he went through the battles of the Dailang Association and the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree. His use of the Four Elements Super Rank elements became more and more proficient, and his slightly unstable foundation gradually became more stable.

Most importantly, he had a general understanding of his own level. The Four Elements of the Curse, Mind had undergone multiple transformations and had become extremely powerful.

If Lu Jun were to fight again against the South American Ice Scribe, who is at the peak of the Ice Element, he could easily defeat him by using any one of his elemental abilities, without needing his sister's help.

The White Leopard is the most standard template: Super Rank -Order, Soul Seed, and Supernatural Power, representing the limit for most Super Rank powerhouses. As for the top-tier techniques of the Heavenly Seed, they are extremely rare and hard to come by.

"So my current overall strength is comparable to that of a Grandmaster of the Super Rank, such as Pang Lai, the Chief Pang Lai of the Imperial Palace. If converted to Demon Beast combat power, he could fight Supreme Monarch for several rounds, and even have Killing Intent Great Monarch?"

Lu Jun was surprised and delighted. Pang Lai had a trump card: summoning the eyes of the national beast, which could severely injure the Great Monarch. Fortunately, he was in his current God Ascension State for a few minutes, and thus possessed the same combat power.

So it is indeed a draw; well, the other side hasn't been able to summon the undead beast yet, or rather, he's even more capable.

Immediately, Lu Jun was filled with emotion and full of motivation. He went into seclusion to solidify his foundation, build Star Palace for Metal Element Super Rank magic, and perfect the Mind Element Super Rank magic [True Dreamscape].

The former went relatively smoothly, while the latter faced numerous difficulties. The idea of Peach Blossom Spring was grand, but its implementation was not easy.

Just a few days after Lu Jun began his cultivation, Mo Fan came to disturb him.

Mo Fan looked cheerful, having gained a lot of spiritual energy from participating in the Yantai Mountain Man War.

After finishing up, he hurriedly went to find Lu Jun.

At this moment, Mo Fan rubbed his hands together sheepishly. "That Shadow Technique."

"Alright, let's go to the Demon Capital together."

Lu Jun had anticipated this. The reason he stayed in Yantai for a few more days after killing the Heavenly Crown Tree was to take Mo Fan to the Demon Capital.

The other party is a big spender (a sucker)!

A moment later, Lu Jun, Jun Yaojin, Mo Fan, Ling Ling, and Ye Xin Xia walked together and boarded a plane to the Demon Capital.

Ling Ling mainly wanted to see her older sister, Leng Qing, who seemed to have been transferred to the Demon Capital the Chief Judge, and whose cultivation had also broken through to the Super Rank through years of training.

"Fusion Magic, here I come!"

Lu Jun ignored them, secretly filled with anticipation. He was already so powerful with Four Elements Super Rank, and with the addition of Fusion Magic, he wondered if he could fight against Half Forbidden Curse!

Chapter 506 Trip to the Demon Capital: Deception and Persuasion

Demon Capital Airport (also known as "Yaodu Airport")

Five young men and women walked out.

The group was rather odd: a cool and aloof young man, a beautiful and mature woman with a somewhat exotic Western look, and behind them, a carefree young man, a little girl, and a youthful beauty.

These five people were Lu Jun and his companions, who had traveled from Yantai in the far north, across most of the Nine Provinces, to the Demon Capital.

Aside from making a stop in Hangzhou halfway through the journey to return the Totem Bead carrying the black snake to West Lake, the journey was non-stop.

At this moment, Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise, "What?! You're saying that the Earth Sacred Spring in Bo City and the Kunlun Water in the Ancient Capital are both Totem Power, originating from the Azure Dragon of the Four Sacred Beasts? And the Black Serpent is a direct descendant of the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast?"

Lu Jun looked at Mo Fan with a half-smile and replied, "That's right. If you want to advance your cultivation to a higher level, go and find these powers. I know a place in the Qinling Mountains where there are traces of the Colorful Divine Deer Totem."

Hearing this, Mo Fan felt guilty under Lu Jun's gaze. He remembered that he had refined the Earth Sacred Spring in Bo City right under Lu Jun's nose, and it was only because Lu Jun spoke up out of loyalty that Captain Liang relented.

At that time, he claimed that he was refining Warm Spring himself, but in reality, he was feeding it to the Little Loach.

Did Lu Jun find out a while ago?

His heart tightened, and he touched the Little Loach on his chest.

Lu Jun chuckled and shook his head. He didn't mean anything by it; he just saw that Mo Fan was too confused about the totem, so he simply explained some basic knowledge to him.

The Pacific Empire is on the horizon, and the power of the Azure Dragon Totem is indispensable.

In addition, Lu Jun was too lazy to run around, and the many nodes such as Qinling Mountains, Xiayu, and Helan Mountains were too troublesome, so he simply let Mo Fan do it, which to some extent put things on the right track.

On the way, Lu Jun received a call from Shao Zheng, who hoped he could track down the totems, arguing that Moon Moth Phoenix were closely related to him and might yield some results.

Lu Jun thought it best to just let Mo Fan go to work so he could rest.

As for Mo Fan, he was both excited and apprehensive, as there was finally hope of breaking through the bottleneck of being stuck at the Super Rank.

The five of them then went to the Demon Capital Tower to visit Feng Zhoulong.

"Haha, Lu Jun is here! Long time no see!"

Upon learning this, Feng Zhoulong quickly came out, his face beaming with joy, and kept praising, "How about it? My naturally born Innate Devouring Seed is pretty good, isn't it? Your Water Element directly swept through Fifteen Countries, truly gratifying!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun nodded with a smile and said directly, "I need to speak with you about something..."

Mo Fan, standing nearby, eagerly chimed in, "That's right, that's right, about the Shadow Element techniques, specifically the implantation of that substance..."

What Lu Jun said next was completely different from what everyone had imagined.

"Old Feng, do you know about [Fusion Magic]?"

Feng Zhoulong was surprised and nodded, saying, "Of course I know, this is one of my major research projects."

He became interested and asked in return, "You asked me about Fusion Magic? What's wrong? What are your thoughts?"

Lu Jun laid his cards on the table. "What if I told you I had a way to help you develop Fusion Magic?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhoulong was shocked. Like a mad scientist, he rushed to Lu Jun, grabbed his arms and shook them, exclaiming, "Really?! Do you know what this means?!"

Feng Zhou rambled on, rubbing his forehead as he said, "The Fusion Magic project is the most difficult subject I've ever encountered. It's incredibly difficult to even get started, and so far, the research has yielded very few results."

"Sometimes I've given up hope, but if Fusion Magic were to be born, the overall strength of humanity would increase several times over."

Mo Fan was listening from the side, was confused and kept shouting, "Hey, hey, hey, Lao Lu, what are you guys talking about? Forget about Fusion Magic, talk about shadow magic!"

But Lu Jun and the other two ignored him. Even Ling Ling, Xin Xia, Jun Yaojin were thinking about what Feng Zhoulong was saying, and they all looked thoughtful.

Feng Zhoulong rambled on for a while before coming to his senses. He stared intently at Lu Jun, and seeing his confident expression, he stammered, "You... could it be?!"

Lu Jun extended one finger and slowly said, "That's right, I have a way, but there's one condition?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhoulong eagerly replied, "What conditions? I'll agree to any, even countless ones, let alone just one."

"It's very simple," Lu Jun said easily. "Come work for me. I'll provide you with funding. After you develop the Fusion Magic, we'll split the patent equally. It can't be spread without my permission."

"This..."

Feng Zhoulong gasped, then hesitated.

He paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "The Fusion Magic needs to be spread so that more people can practice it; that's what makes it meaningful. If you want to keep it as your own and profit from it, I'm sorry, but I can't agree to that. I'd rather explore and research it myself slowly."

"I know your ideals, and that's not what I meant."

Lu Jun calmly said, "I won't stop you because you have the world in your heart. After all, if the Fusion Magic succeeds, you, Feng Zhoulong, will be the biggest contributor."

"But..." he changed the subject, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, "Don't underestimate the dark side of the world. There are always some dictatorial and powerful figures who attempt to seize any power for themselves, hindering social progress."

"You can't fight against it with your strength. In the end, you'll probably not only fail to achieve your ideals, but also lose your life."

"My idea is to gradually expand this, starting with trusted individuals, then moving on to allies and nations. Only when this transformative force has accumulated to its fullest extent can we redefine magic with overwhelming force and spread it throughout the world."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhoulong was shocked, and Ling Ling, Jun Yaojin, and Xin Xia all looked serious.

"Probably not."

Feng Zhoulong actually leaned more towards Lu Jun's version of events, but having spent so many years at the Magic Association, he still harbored a naive trust in his organization.

At this moment, Mo Fan interjected, "I don't understand what you're talking about Fusion Magic, but Old Lu is right. Human hearts are unpredictable. Do you know about the Scale Skin Female Demon, the Demon Experiment, the Parthenon Trials...?"

Despite his short life, Mo Fan experienced a rich and varied life, and he had long since seen through the wickedness of people's hearts and the true colors of those in power.

As Mo Fan recounted the story, Feng Zhoulong exclaimed in astonishment, "Ah, so it was you who got arrested in Jinling? Ah, the devil who wreaked havoc in Parthenon was you!"

Seeing this, Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction and pressed his advantage, saying, "So, Old Feng, you'd better play it safe. Take my advice: if you can't handle the Fusion Magic, let me push it forward."

Feng Zhoulong remained silent, giving Lu Jun a deep look. Although he stayed in the laboratory, he continued to pay attention to Lu Jun because of their acquaintance.

The events in Africa, the war in South America, and even the recent execution of the Supreme Monarch were all thoroughly reported to the entire nation.

With Lu Jun's youthful potential, he is more than capable of protecting himself in the future.

Feng Zhoulong paced back and forth, deeply conflicted, considering for several hours before finally saying heavily, "Alright, I'll cooperate with you."
