The Art of War Mansion / Refining the Wind Seed, the Dream Beast Evolves...

Han Ji never imagined that the Ancient King who had been resurrected and the deposed Undead Emperor in Parthenon was actually Lu Jun himself.

Now that Lu Jun has gained considerable power, he no longer bothers to hide anything. With just a few words, he has killed Emperor and rendered meritorious service to the Nine Provinces, and all doubts are naturally resolved.

Yes, isn't it reasonable for someone who has killed Emperor to negotiate with Undead Emperor?

Gradually, Lu Jun, like Leader Hua, became a pillar of the Nine Provinces, revered by the people and mages as omnipotent.

Soon, the Ancient Capital and the undead cooperated to launch a blitzkrieg, wiping out the new undead force in an instant. After several Undead Monarch fell, their enormous corpses were hung up and displayed at the north gate of the Ancient Capital, proclaiming them to be ferocious beasts that attacked and killed humans, which immediately terrified the people.

But when the common people and monks came to their senses, they were extremely excited and proud. They heard that it was the newly arrived Commander Lu Jun who had killed him. He was indeed worthy of being the former Savior. He was efficient in his work and avenged the dead. They felt a great sense of pride and satisfaction.

Many people took photos and posted them online, drawing envy from others. Damn, a Monarch Level Great Demon was slain alive!

In the past, the death of a leader would almost always be met with nationwide celebration.

Just like seven or eight years ago, when the Yangtze River Crocodile Lord caused chaos and was killed by a powerful figure, the whole world knew about it.

It can only be said that times have changed, Chaotic World is gradually approaching, and the presence of demons and Demon Beast, such as rulers, is becoming increasingly common.

Lu Jun thought this was a good thing, allowing the people of the Ancient Capital to adapt in advance.

Next, the Bing Ce Fu was successfully built. The Zhao family was responsible for funding, and the local people were responsible for labor. It stood majestically in the Undead Forbidden Zone.

In just one month, it has been built in a very good manner, with all the necessary facilities, and it occupies a large area of continuous mansions.

The students of the Ancient Capital Academy, upon hearing this, came overjoyed to join, after all, the treatment was good, the prospects were promising, and it was said that they could receive free Stardust Magic Tool.

As a result, Lu Jun's forces quickly expanded, and he became too lazy to manage these trivial matters, so he handed them all over to Jun Yaojin.

To be fair, his power started much stronger than that of Fan Xue Mountain. He had many outstanding high-level graduates, and his Intermediate Mage could even form a legion of three thousand people, which he set up as the Bing Ce Guard, almost emptying the talent pool of several academies.

This is how 'locals' should be treated.

At the top, the Light Element is full of talented individuals, including Lu Wei Xi, Professor Yuan, and Feng Zhoulong.

At this moment, Lu Jun swept his gaze across the gray, desolate surface of the land. Dozens of tall buildings stood there. He arrived at a factory where magical machinery roared and Undead Mage were enchanting their objects.

He couldn't help but nod in agreement. This month, he used the Metal Element to select suitable materials for Stardust Magic Tool, and then used Undead Magic to infuse them with essence, mass-producing Stardust Magic Tool.

With finished products and technology in hand, it's easy to work backwards to develop the production line.

Now that it's been handed over to Feng Zhoulong, a complete commercial production line was set up in just one month, and all that's needed afterward is to simply copy the template.

Then Lu Jun was kicked out by Old Feng, who wanted to focus on researching the Fusion Method, and his progress was quite good.

We'll know the outcome in a few months.

Professor Yuan was assigned to study the Water Element circulation array, tasked with gathering the moisture generated by his talent for Call Wind Summon Rain and Calamity Talent, subtly nourishing the local area, and using the Heart of the Earth to build a magic array to absorb the explosive earth and fire elements.

This is a perfect match for my major. Professor Yuan was very excited and ran over to say that there was a way to train the body with real water.

Extending his idea of crossing water from east to west, using the great cycle of water vapor in heaven and earth to refine the body would definitely have a fantastic effect; it's just a side benefit.

Lu Jun exclaimed in admiration, "As expected, magic scholars are full of ideas. They say that heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the craftsman, yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper."

Of course, this Heaven and Earth Water Cycle Body Tempering Technique is not something that just anyone can practice. It is estimated that the standard is at least the Monarch Body, otherwise one cannot withstand the violent energy surge. Ordinary people would be reduced to dust after just a little baptism.

With his strong support, the Water Cycle array was fine-tuned, and in the future, the Bing Ce Fu will have another blessed land comparable to the Three Step Tower.

Lu Jun inspected the progress of various projects in the Bing Ce Fu. As he strolled, he walked to the center of the territory, where a stone pillar stood tall and a sinister blood-red halo hung high in the sky.

[Corrosive Evil Eye]!

Lu Jun obtained the cursed treasure from the territory of Apasi, and after making slight improvements, placed it in the center of the Bing Ce Fu to protect the territory and deter the undead from entering.

After a short while, seeing that everything had settled down, Lu Jun turned back to Abyss of Calamity, muttering to himself as he walked, "Old Zhao is a ruthless man to hoard Stardust Magic Tool for months and then sell them all at once, disrupting the market."

"This will drive down the price of Stardust Magic Tool, causing international turmoil and unrest. Egypt, the Holy City, Parthenon, Su Lu, and even the mainland will be affected..."

He pondered in his heart. Egypt was easy to understand. The production of Stardust Magic Tool broke the monopoly and shook the foundation of the country. Even forbidden spells were used to assassinate them. Su Lu, don't say anything more. He can't stand to see the Nine Provinces doing well.

As for the Holy City and Parthenon, the rebellion of the Undead Emperor is still unresolved. In the past two years, they have gradually recovered and, when they encounter the Stardust Magic Tool incident, they will surely send people to investigate.

Finally, the mainland... Hehehe, the Yangtze Academy Alliance, which is also the force behind Li Kaifeng, National Team. As a magic high school academy alliance, it purchases a huge amount of Stardust Magic Tool every year. If the price is driven down, it will be the most unprofitable member.

In short, Lu Jun thought that this force was the most worthy of vigilance, and was most likely to act as a lackey for money.

"Pharaoh might also get involved. I'll be in trouble in a few months. I need to prepare in advance."

Lu Jun, with a solemn expression, returned to the Abyss of Calamity and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

He worked diligently for the past month, and his cultivation progressed smoothly. By using a portion of his essence, he achieved the fifth level of the initial and Intermediate Level stages of all his cultivation systems.

Actually, not much is missing. The Primary level five are already complete, and the Four Elements missing from the five levels of the Intermediate Level are Death, Life, Mind, and Summoning.

Death Element Soul Summoning Level 4 - [Burning Nether Energy]: A rare mana restoration skill that burns a massive amount of essence and corpses to replenish mana. It can be considered a prerequisite for Undead Mage to summon the Undead Calamity. With limited mana, how can one person form an army?!

At least Lu Jun is wealthy and powerful, God Ascension State can last forever.

The fifth level of the Soul Summoning, [Soul Stitching], perfectly complements the Primary level five Necromancy Revival's stitched flesh and blood!

He was confident he could separate Zhao Jing's Scarlet Mountain Red Thunder.

Next up is the Life Element Intermediate Level 4 - [Healing Multiplier], which instantly increases the number of Life Sprite summoned to seven. There's not much to say about that.

The level 5 effect, [Life Storage], is quite interesting. It has a great effect even on someone like Lu Jun, as it allows him to store a portion of his own life force within the bodies of seven Life Sprite.

When he was critically injured and on the verge of death, his stored life force was instantly restored, and he was back to full health in an instant.

The combination of basic-level False Life Element is practically an immortal War God.

Lu Jun observed that the combination of the Life Element and Death Element was pushing him towards immortality.

Chapter 557 Refining the Wind Seed, Dream Beast Advances

Lu Jun's Super Rank awakened Life and Death are progressing well, both reaching the Intermediate Level limit. The next step is to advance to the high-level.

He doesn't even need the Star River Vein. Once the White Tiger Pendant is upgraded, along with the Two Great Dominators Origins and the Calamity Talent, he can break through in just one or two days of cultivation.

The remaining Intermediate Level 5 skills in the Mind Element and Summoning System are unremarkable.

The former Mind Ripple [Dream Leap], allows those who have left a mental mark to send their Soul Evasion their bodies to the other side at any time, overlapping with the abilities of the Time-Space Element.

The latter Contract Summoning - [Life Link], further strengthens the connection with the Summoned Beast, reaching a point where they live and die together. If one suffers fatal damage, a portion of it will be transferred to the other to mitigate the damage, turning death into severe injury.

It's somewhat useful, but the Life Element and Death Element abilities are more effective at saving lives.

"Well, with eight Magic System and dozens of magical effects, there's bound to be some overlap. I won't demand top-tier abilities like the ability to True Name Precognition."

Lu Jun shook his head, but held greater hope for the Fusion Method that Old Feng was researching. The furnace nurtured a hundred methods, All Laws Return to One. A single punch or sword strike combined many methods into one, simplifying complexity and becoming unstoppable.

"Old Feng said it will take at most three or four months to complete the task, so let's wait and see. Now that my cultivation is stable, it's time to deal with the rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Abyss of Abyss of Calamity."

With a thought, he opened Void Channel, causing the air to collapse and a Silver Vortex to appear, leading directly to his sister Lu Mei's residence.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The next instant, Lu Mei's graceful figure appeared in the Abyss of Calamity. As soon as she appeared, her pure white wings unfurled, and she hovered in mid-air, curiously looking around.

Inside the Abyss of Calamity, the pitch-black void was utterly silent. A blood-red altar stood in the center, with Blood Throne forged atop it.

At the edge of the altar, a towering spatial gate stands, its Silver Vortex swirling, leading to the outer Nine Deaths One Life Bridge.

The Wind Element Heavenly Seed [Death Scythe Blade] is among them.

The structure of the Abyss of Calamity is similar to an onion. The outermost layer is a pit of billions of bones, the second layer is the desolate land where the White Tomb Palace is located, the third layer Nine Deaths One Life Bridge, and the fourth layer is the core Blood Throne.

Upon seeing his sister arrive, Lu Jun smiled gently and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Wind Element Heavenly Seed."

The two passed through the spatial portal and stood on the pristine white dragon-shaped sky bridge, looking down into the dark abyss below. A towering black tornado shot into the sky, carrying with it a vast and powerful aura, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

"Then I'll go."

Lu Mei didn't stand on ceremony. She nodded to her younger brother, and her graceful figure, like an angel descending, disappeared directly into the towering black storm.

Seeing this, Lu Jun hesitated, somewhat worried. It was not easy to subdue Wind Element Heavenly Seed. The spirituality of a celestial seed would become stronger and stronger as it progressed from Spirit Seed to a celestial seed. Even Mo Fan had suffered a lot when refining the Tyrant's Savage Thunder, let alone Heavenly Seed.

Waaaaah!

The moment Lu Mei was swallowed by the black tornado, her clothes did not turn to dust, and her fair, smooth, and warm skin, like white jade, was not torn apart or cut to pieces. Instead, she was enveloped in a thick gray mist.

Sharp black wind blades attacked from all directions, but were silently swallowed up by the gray mist, transforming into pure wind elements to protect the body.

"A shift in the order of Chaos Magic? That's a bit strange."

Lu Jun looked at it with concern, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. A change in order should only alter the direction of magic, so how could it directly reverse the essence of elements?

Similar to Mo Fan's Magic Tool [Hand of Thunder], it reverses all magical attacks into Lightning Elements, thus greatly increasing resistance.

"Could it be the fusion of Earth Fire Wind Water, recreating the Supernatural Power of chaos?"

He pondered for a moment and began to understand the intricacies of this power. This Supernatural Power was cultivated using the Four Elements as a foundation, abandoning the advantages of each element, but the resulting effects were astonishing. It could transform into anything and change into countless attributes, a method of simplifying complexity.

When activated, the protective magic will grant invulnerability to all attacks, while its destructive power will be devastating.

Of course, Lu Jun guessed that his sister hadn't reached that level yet. She lacked one of the four cornerstones, the Water Element, and also lacked Fusion Magic. At most, she could only transform into the three elements of wind, fire, and earth.

Lu Jun felt relieved. "No wonder he dared to brazenly charge into the core of the Heavenly Seed all by himself."

He sat cross-legged on the bridge, protecting his sister Lu Mei.

Gradually, the violent, towering tornado storm slowly shrank, and the figure of the mature woman appeared and disappeared.

After Lu Mei completely refined the Wind Element Heavenly Seed Death Scythe Blade, she opened her beautiful eyes, and a boundless power surged from her body, causing the wind direction of the Abyss of Calamity to change drastically. A gale swept up, stirring up a massive, dark wave of energy.

Lu Jun woke up with a start and, seeing this scene, quickly stepped forward to congratulate her, saying, "Hehe, sister is invincible! The forbidden spell is just around the corner!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mei gave her younger brother a charming glare. The Wind Wings on her back were stained with the Heavenly Seed Death Scythe Blade, displaying a jet-black luster. They hovered behind her like dark clouds covering the sky, making her look like a fallen angel, exuding both dark charm and mystery.

Lu Jun swallowed hard; this kind of older sister had a unique charm.

Lu Mei closed her eyes to sense the Death Scythe Blade's abilities, and exclaimed with delight, "My Wind Element has advanced to the second level of the Super Rank!"

Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought. It was about time for her to break through to the Super Rank. Nearly two years had passed, and with her sister's solid foundation in the Wind Element, breaking through to the Second Rank was only natural. To be honest, it was still considered slow, considering that he himself was already at the Second Rank of the Four Elements Super Rank.

The siblings, Mingming and Mingguang, achieved breakthroughs at the same time.

The forbidden zone effect of [Death Scythe Blade] Mysteries and called 'Three Flavors Wind Disaster'. Mages within the forbidden zone will have their cultivation and life force continuously reduced. Mages of the same level will be demoted to mortals in about ten minutes. It is terrifying.

Lu Jun felt a sense of déjà vu. This effect was a super-enhanced version of the Qinling Mountains Demonic Wind phenomenon. It was possible that this Wind Element Heavenly Seed was born near the Winged Race's Paradise, captured and swallowed by the Abyss of Calamity, and gradually eroded by the Nether Energy.

My elder sister has refined the Heavenly Seed and needs to return to her home in the Ancient Capital for a period of seclusion to digest it.

He felt a great weight lifted from his heart, returned to the Blood Throne, traced the Star Track, and summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A complex black-purple magic circle was drawn on the altar, thick black mist surged and spewed, accompanied by flashes of dark yellow lightning, and Da Sheng resembling both a lion and a deer stepped out.

Lu Jun stared at the Night Thunder Dream Beast. Having been tempered on the edge of the Tomb of the Fallen Nation, its killing intent was refined, almost comparable to the majesty of a monarch. It was clear that it had a strong foundation and was only one step away from becoming a monarch.

With a low whistle, it revealed wisps of blood-red demonic patterns on its smooth, black and white fur, exuding an aura of deathly coldness.

"What happened?!"

Lu Jun touched the blood-red patterns with his hand, and a chilling, deathly aura swept over him, making his fingers turn icy and pale. He frowned and asked, "What did you get stained with?"

He cultivated the Death Element, and as the King of Hell, he immediately recognized that the blood-red demonic patterns covering parts of the Dream Beast's body originated from the power of the undead. They should exist on inanimate objects, so why were they appearing on a living creature?

Seeing this, he couldn't help but wonder if his dream beast had been ambushed in the Tomb of the Fallen Nation.

Chapter 558 Yellow Springs Bloodline, Summoning Super Rank

Yo~

The Night Thunder Dream Beast explained softly that this was the ancient bloodline power that had been unexpectedly activated when it was influenced by the land of the dead during its bloody battle at the Beast Tomb of the Fallen Nation Kingdom. It belonged to the vast potential buried deep within the Dream Beast race.

"Yeah?"

Lu Jun was astonished. He carefully examined the crimson demonic patterns all over the handsome dream beast's body. They were indeed deeply ingrained in its bones and engraved in its soul, making them the innate abilities of its race.

But... given his mastery of both Life and Death, he could tell that the dream beast's state was strange, hovering between life and death. Damn it, could his own Dimensional Beast have turned into an undead?!

Fortunately, the Night Thunder Dream Beast excitedly revealed the information accompanying its bloodline awakening, and he gradually understood the reason.

"[Yellow Springs Bloodline]?!"
