Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

"I don't know the life or death of the sub-emperor who was Suicune's ancestor, but if you can lend a hand, it will be of great use as a threat to the heartland of the Pacific Empire."

Hearing this, Hua Zhanhong's eyes brightened. Jiuzhou was very familiar with the art of forming alliances and forming coalitions. It was a skill passed down from his ancestors.

He really didn't expect that Lu Jun would bring so many surprises.

"Very good. If we can unite these opponents, we can try to move the battle line to the vicinity of the first island chain, reduce the damage to the mainland, and even go as far as 'if the enemy goes there, we can go there too'!"

Chapter 523 Raising the Flag

Imperial capital courtyard.

Seeing Hua Zhanhong's enterprising spirit, Lu Jun felt grateful that the information he had been holding back for so long had finally reached the right person.

In fact, he also had a selfish motive, which was to rescue the mermaid girl's mother.

In addition, he would not forget that there was a water-type heavenly seed in the homeland of the Water Element Holy Spirit Clan - the Mariana Trench!

That place is close to the Pacific Empire and is not safe. There might be supreme demons lying in ambush.

Jiuzhou has no information about the Holy Spirit Clan, so it will most likely choose to go to the Mariana Trench to spy first.

If the team is led by Forbidden Spell, it will undoubtedly be much safer. By then, with his contribution, it will be easy to obtain the Water Element Heavenly Seed.

Hua Zhanhong looked at the mermaid girl and nodded: "Okay, wait for me to verify it, and then decide to send someone to the Pacific Ocean."

This is as it should be. Hua Zhanhong shoulders the fate of Jiuzhou and should not leave lightly. He also needs to be cautious and not trust blindly.

Lu Jun was not in a hurry. He had the Water-Repellent Pearl and the River-Suppressing Pearl. If he wanted to go to the sea, he would have to rely on them.

As for whether the Water Element Holy Spirit Clan will be exposed once they are found, there is no need to worry. They are in the Pacific Ocean and the information of the various emperors knows much more than he does.

And if all else fails, he can also disguise himself as a member of the Demonic Valley Demon Demon, invade their tribe's mental network, and obtain intelligence.

The brains of the Siren Prophets are all linked together, layer by layer, until the Siren Overlord at the top controls everything.

Then, Lu Jun mentioned the matter of Cardinal Jiuying as if by accident, and asked curiously, "He was able to escape from the forbidden spell at that time. Which forbidden spell was watching him?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhanhong looked at him with a half-smile and replied, "Ice Emperor."

Lu Jun understood it in his heart. He knew it before he came here. Pang Lai mentioned it casually when he gave him the task of capturing the cardinal.

At that time he was on guard in his heart. No wonder Jiuying was able to escape. In addition to the carelessness of the Jiuzhou high-level officials and the help of the Sea Monster Lord, it was probably because the Ice Emperor also let the sea go.

The Mu family's Ice Emperor teamed up with several forbidden spells to enter the Antarctic for exploration a few days ago. As a result, all the forbidden spells were destroyed, and only the Ice Emperor escaped. Then the sea level rose all over the world.

The truth is that they encountered the Antarctic Emperor, one of the three major ridges.

The Ice Emperor, who survived by begging and kneeling down like a dog and being controlled by the Antarctic Emperor, has long since become a puppet of the other party.

Hua Zhanhong looked at Lu Jun deeply and said, "We know about Bingdi. When he came back from Antarctica alone, we were suspicious. The incident with Jiuying exposed our true intentions. We just wanted to catch a bigger fish."

"Then I'll say more."

Lu Jun smiled and talked about another thing. He wanted to establish power in the ancient capital, refine stardust, nebula, galaxy magic weapons, and fuse magic.

Hearing this, Hua Zhanhong said with admiration: "This is a good thing. Jiuzhou obviously has the raw material site, but it does not have the relevant technology. Every year, the major magic colleges and high schools purchase magic weapons, and I don't know how many billions they spend."

"The same goes for fusion magic. If we can research it, the Nine Continents Forbidden Spells will increase the combat power of the following mages several times. Let alone ten emperors, we would dare to fight even twenty of them."

Hua Zhanhong pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, what you said today is of great merit. You must be rewarded heavily, otherwise you will not be able to convince the public."

Then he waved his hand and gave the land, the policies, and the names. He basically promised everything.

For example, Lu Jun himself holds the title of Honorary Councillor of the Ancient Capital, and now he has been upgraded to a permanent resident, second only to Shao Zheng. He has also been given several titles, including Western Military Strategy, Southern Guardian of the Forbidden City, and General.

If Lu Jun was like a great general in ancient times, he could set up a government office whenever he went out, which means he could set up his own government office, recruit talents, and even give them a position. If he went to the ancient capital, even Han Ji would be under his control.

Lu Jun was delighted. He and Hua Zhanhong discussed these things just for the sake of reputation.

By then, the power he established will be completely different from that of the aristocratic families. It will belong to the Jiuzhou platform. Attacking him is equivalent to attacking Jiuzhou.

In addition, there is no need to worry about interference from the ordinary internal circles. With his name, the palace he built is extremely independent, just like a private person.

Of course, the disadvantage is that over time, the situation of being too powerful to be eliminated may occur. For example, the Jiedushi and generals in ancient times were only established during wartime and abolished after the war. It was very rare for them to be in control for a long time.

This is thanks to Hua Zhanhong's magnanimity. We will talk about the future in the future.

Mr. Lu didn't care. He was just taking a temporary measure. He was pursuing immortality, so how could he be attached to fame and fortune?

At the same time, Hua Zhanhong made up his mind that even if the International Forbidden Spell would block Lu Jun on the issue of the Core of the Earth, Jiuzhou would use up its inventory to give Lu Jun a Core of the Earth.

After a while, Lu Jun left contentedly, having transformed himself into a prominent person.

He stayed in the imperial capital for a while, went through the formalities, announced the news to the world, and met with people from the Holy City and the Magic Associations of the Five Continents to check the identities of the two cardinals. Everything went smoothly.

Leng Jue is the son of the Dark Saint of Parthenon. The dark faith originated from Parthenon. His identity is clear and beyond doubt.

A few days later, Lu Jun left and returned to the Magic City.

Pearl Academy.

Lu Jun stayed in Ding Yumian's room. Looking out the window, the weather was still cloudy and rainy. He asked in a serious tone, "What's the situation here?"

Ding Yumian was wearing a plain white dress. She glanced helplessly at the man lying on the bed and whispered, "The sea level is still rising. The day when Pudong will be flooded is not far away."

"Many sea monsters are gradually appearing along the coast. Among them is a monster called the Dirt Hunter. They are scouts of the Pacific Empire. There are so many of them that even high-level mages will die if they are besieged on the water."

Lu Jun was thoughtful. He knew that this was just a prelude and the Siren Empire would be planning a massive offensive.

The good news is that the Pacific Empire invaded six or seven months in advance and was short of troop mobilization. If Kyushu can successfully plant a hidden pawn in the enemy's belly, it is expected to push the front line to the vicinity of the Mariana Trench.

Since he has told Hua Zhanhong, the other party should organize people and set off quickly.

Therefore, Lu Jun waited quietly in the Magic City, enjoying the romantic life while practicing the gold element and gathering the gold element's transcendental power!

Buzz!

Inside the Three-Step Pagoda, Lu Jun activated his gold-type disaster-causing talent [Taiyi Golden Light], with [White Tiger Military Talisman] on his head. His whole body shone with a glass-like metallic luster. An unparalleled sharp edge shot up into the sky, with many lights of black, green, red, white and gold flowing.

He breathed slowly, and the golden evil energy between heaven and earth surged together. He inhaled wisps of strange golden air, and his lungs shone with brilliant white, outlining a clear outline.

What surprised Lu Jun was that the title of General of Military Strategy actually made the White Tiger Military Talisman more powerful.

The transcendent power of the gold system is about to emerge.

Soon, the platinum light from Lu Jun's lungs gathered at the center, which is also the middle dantian [Jianggong], also known as the Tanzhong point.

That’s right, the lungs are the place where he cultivated his supernatural power. The lungs belong to the element of metal, and are the leader of the five internal organs. They are known as the canopy and the center of qi.

Chapter 524 Taibai Jinque, the monarch’s physique.

Boom!

Lu Jun's blood was boiling, tinged with a white-gold glow, his lungs were sparkling, and his sharp aura soared into the sky, clanging like ten thousand swords ringing together.

In the center of his body, between his lungs, a magnificent golden palace was suspended. It was made entirely of platinum and its layout was like a general's mansion. It was filled with murderous aura and was outlined with white tiger patterns.

The palace was shining brightly, like a rising platinum sun, echoing with the Venus in the western sky.

The transcendent power of metal [Taibai Golden Tower]!

This ability is closely related to Taiyi Golden Light and White Tiger Soldier Talisman, and the specific effects need to be explored and mastered.

However, when Lu Jun breathes in and out, he can stir up all kinds of energy, stimulate his spirit, and distribute it throughout his body, even to his skin and fur. Every strand of energy and blood in his body is bright and sparkling, like a magical weapon, filled with murderous intent.

Soon, the Northern Ming Qi Sea under his abdomen was stimulated and actively revived. It was like a black sun floating in the air, and black to feminine soft water flowed out from both kidneys, infiltrating the body.

Thus, Lu Jun's upright figure, which was originally like a sharp blade cutting through the sky, with an intimidating and unstoppable edge, became a little softer.

The endless energy and blood in his body, besides being sharp and murderous, is also a bit mellow, as if yin and yang are complementing each other, constantly tempering his body.

Rumble!

The phantom of the ghost behind Lu Jun emerged, making a crackling sound, standing upright, breaking through the ravine barrier of the heavenly realm and advancing to the seventh realm of qi and blood, which is the level of the monarch's physique.

Ghosts and gods solidified and suddenly possessed the body.

The next moment, Lu Jun's height increased steadily, his body shone with an immortal luster, he stood up suddenly, his eyes shone with a strange color, his lungs and kidneys were magical, a golden palace hung high in the center, a black sun sank in his abdomen, and the roar of the supreme and powerful monarch's pressure spread.

Fortunately, the Three-Step Tower was covered by a powerful magic circle and the boundless space restrained Lu Jun's aura, which was not leaked, otherwise it would surely cause chaos.

He took a deep breath, looked at his own appearance, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

If the standard of the lower three realms of Qi and blood is the [fascia layer], which derives special human tissues, and the symbol of the middle three realms is the [ghost and god appearance], with Qi and blood released like the sun, then the symbol of the upper three realms is [demonization].

Just like the principle of super-class transcendental power, it refines massive amounts of magical elements into the body.

Lu Jun's seventh level of qi and blood is almost like that of the demon blood beasts, full of endless qi and blood brute force, and is fundamentally different from humans in structure.

He is now considered an independent race, just like vampires, demons, moth girls and other aliens.

"Not bad, it's worth my more than ten days of training."

Lu Jun was very satisfied. At the same time, he had never forgotten to control the stars during this period of time. With the Star Sea Controller, he also mastered the super-level gold magic.

Now he is at the super level of four elements, and has all four elements of transcendental power.

Buzz!

After a while, Lu Jun's phone rang. It was Dean Xiao calling. He was quite surprised and murmured, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

After he answered the phone, an old and unhappy voice came from the other end: "You kid, come to my office to gather. It was you who proposed this to Hua Zhanhong, right? You always add burdens to me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was surprised to learn that President Xiao was going to lead the team to the Mariana Trench personally!

Then Lu Jun changed his mind and realized that he was right. When it comes to the best water-based forbidden spells in the country, it must be Dean Xiao.

Moreover, Dean Xiao is proficient in three types of forbidden spells and is extremely powerful, second only to Hua Zhanhong, the strongest person in the human world.

Even if you meet an emperor, even if you cannot kill him, you can at least fight him once or twice and escape calmly.

The key is that Dean Xiao's identity is secret, so as not to alert some sea monsters undercover in Jiuzhou.

"That's wonderful."

Lu Jun felt that Hua Zhanhong was thoughtful in employing the people. With his own master leading the team, there was no need to worry about not getting the water-type seed.

Immediately, Lu Jun stepped out of the three-step tower, and with a thought, he instantly moved to Dean Xiao's office.

Amidst the flickering silver light, his figure appeared in the office. Several figures were already standing there, all looking over at him.

Lu Jun glanced at a few people and was surprised to find that most of them were familiar faces.

Ye Mei, whom I had met before, was an absolute high-ranking official in the Forbidden City, Lu Huan, the chief royal guard mage of the ancient capital, and two other relatively unfamiliar men. Their serious and capable temperaments definitely came from the military.

Lu Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, long time no see. I never thought that we could fight side by side one day."

After saying this, Lu Huan felt a little emotional. The little fellow who was just a high-level one in the past has now grown to the point where even he has to admit defeat.

Lu Jun responded with a smile: "Chief Lu, you are still strong despite your age. I still need you to take more responsibility on this trip."

He sensed the auras of the four people present. Each of them was at the super-level, fully-cultivated state, or the level of a palace guard.

And these four people are absolutely trustworthy, otherwise Hua Zhanhong would not reveal Dean Xiao’s forbidden spell identity.

In addition, the dark ocean of stars in Lu Jun's spiritual world was shining brightly, and the water system was suffering from a disaster and was vaguely aware of it.

Several of them have practiced water-related skills!

Several people present introduced themselves one after another, mainly two people from the military.

One of them was called Chen Zhen, who looked like a generous man from Northeast China. He was also very talkative and called Mr. Lu "little brother" all the time.

One of them is called Bailang. He is relatively thin with dark skin, and looks like someone who has lived on the sea for many years. He is taciturn and from the south.

Both of them came from the navy. Unfortunately, due to rising sea levels and the invasion of the Pacific Empire, the sea route was cut off and the navy was strategically abandoned, so they were transferred to do this kind of mission.

Dean Xiao looked at them gently, listening to them communicating with each other about the various magic systems and abilities.

When Ye Mei heard that Lu Jun possessed the Water-Repellent Beads and the Water-Suppressing Beads, she couldn't help but breathe rapidly. He was directly immune to water magic below the Super Water Level and could suppress the water element. It was simply a bug.

After they finished their discussion, Dean Xiao coughed lightly and said: "I will not go all out in the upcoming mission to explore the Mariana Trench, lest the breath of the forbidden curse spreads and causes the emperors and demons of the Kraken Empire to pursue them."

“That would put us in the most dangerous situation.”

"Our mission this time is very simple. We are to gather the imperial intelligence of the Pacific Empire and get in touch with the Holy Spirit of Water Element."

Hearing this, Lu Jun and his companions said solemnly: "We will live up to everyone's expectations."

"Let's set off now. We'll first take the land route to Southeast Asia, and then go out to the sea to the Mariana Trench."
