Chapter 480: Chapter 479: Half a Year

Lu Jun pressed Sharjah for details about the source of the Heavenly Seed intelligence.

Unexpectedly, her reply was vague. She only stated that the credibility was extremely high and that he could rest assured. In the end, she had no choice but to reveal the two words “Holy City.”

Hearing this, Lu Jun understood and did not probe further. Since the intelligence came from the Holy City, and Sharjah was a potential future Archangel, she was naturally unwilling to expose more, hence the evasiveness.

As the supreme authority of humanity in the present era, the Holy City naturally maintained vast intelligence networks, coordinating resources across the entire human world.

It was entirely possible that they had once dispatched personnel to investigate the Mariana Trench. Possessing information on Heavenly Seeds of various elements was nothing unusual.

After all, the prerequisite for elemental Forbidden Magic was full super-tier cultivation plus a Heavenly Seed.

No matter what, Sharjah was one of the Seven Archangels and certainly held a certain level of authority.

Lu Jun let out a sigh of relief. At least the source was legitimate; there was no need to worry about a trap. True Name Foresight and Thousand-Mile Soul Lock had not given any danger response, Sharjah harbored no ill intent.

Afterward, the Brown Army subtly proposed cooperation, hoping he could “invest with technology.” The presence of a super-tier powerhouse would be an enormous boost to their grand plan.

Lu Jun did not agree. Overturning a multinational federation was no simple matter, and Nanzo might have obtained tacit approval from the Forbidden Mages behind the scenes.

Not to mention his sister was an Archangel, with authority to influence the Forbidden Magic Council.

Still, Lu Jun felt a trace of interest. The resources of a major power were tempting, but he did not wish to become personally entangled too deeply—doing business, however, was another matter.

Once he returned to Jiuzhou and established his own force to produce stardust magic tools, a group of the Brown Army’s scale would certainly crave them.

With matters in Peru concluded, the remaining Black Vatican forces would be handled by the Brown Army, either purged or absorbed.

The three of them set off, boarding a plane toward Oceania.

The movements of the Sea Demon Empire could no longer be concealed. Maritime routes were becoming increasingly dangerous. For now, only air transport remained intact. In a few more years, even aviation might be cut off, turning nations around the world into isolated islands.

In Sydney, Lu Jun headed straight for the Saint Kai Altar Magic Association of Australia and produced the Void Token.

Soon, someone came to receive him—a Saint Altar Grand Mage, unmistakably a super-tier powerhouse. A middle-aged white man with blond hair and blue eyes, named Cain.

Cain was extremely courteous. Clearly, he had heard of Lu Jun’s actions in Africa and South America and regarded him as an equal powerhouse.

He spoke gently, “Lord Lu Jun, your Void Token is of the highest rank. You may cultivate for seven days within our Magic Association’s holy land, the Void Altar. Shall you enter now?”

Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction. The forces behind the fifteen-nation members captured during the National Government trials had not deceived him.

Moments later, Lu Jun declined. He planned to first find three meditation chambers and enter seclusion, solidifying his foundation. Only then would entering the Void Altar yield the greatest gains.

Saint Altar Grand Mage Cain said nothing and instructed his subordinates to find a place rich in magical elements, secure and tranquil.

Upon arrival, Lu Jun discovered that it was actually located in the very core of Sydney. Within a hundred-li radius, trees were planted everywhere, and villas stood far apart from one another, resembling a vast garden villa district.

This area was completely separated from the urban zone, its perimeter enclosed by walls, with an expansive uninhabited buffer zone deliberately established around it.

“Strange—land in the city core is worth a fortune, yet such a massive area was set aside,” Lu Jun muttered.

As the three entered the grand garden, dense elemental energies of all systems surged toward them.

He opened his eyes. His transcendent heterochromatic pupils activated, revealing the ground beneath the garden covered in dense, dazzling runes—a colossal magic formation.

When he looked toward the void once more, a breathtaking scene came into view.

Brilliant, multicolored radiance filled the sky. Countless ribbon-like streams of light converged from all directions—manifestations of dense and abundant magical elements of every system.

This place seemed to be drawing from the entire city… no, the ribbon streams extended endlessly. The whole of Oceania lay within its absorption range.

“The Void Altar—a sacred land of ascension.”

Lu Jun understood and murmured softly. The Void Altar was in the sky, and this grand garden villa district lay directly beneath it, benefiting from its influence and thus fashioned into a specialized meditation ground.

As the three occasionally passed by villa entrances, they could sense powerful super-tier auras lying dormant within.

In the end, Lu Jun chose an empty meditation villa and moved in. Lu Mei did the same, she had many super-tier magics to master, both Earth and Fire systems, and had yet to grasp even a single transcendent power.

Only Jun Ya Jin was idle. With three advanced systems fully cultivated, advancing further was truly beyond human limits.

Lu Jun felt a bit embarrassed. After having Jun Ya Jin work for him for so long without giving anything in return, he felt somewhat guilty.

Since he was not short on money, he simply spent over two billion purchasing a Star Sea Heavenly Vein from the Australian Magic Association and bestowed it upon her, draining his bank account completely.

It was not a loss. Once Jun Ya Jin reached Blessed Super Tier, the combat power she provided would be even more staggering.

“Thank you, boss!”

Jun Yaojin held a crystal-clear diamond as brilliant as a galaxy in her hands. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with radiant light, filled with excitement. Even the ample curves on her chest trembled slightly as she spoke in a sweet, cloying voice.

This tall, voluptuous mature woman displayed a posture as if inviting him to take her at will.

Seeing this, Lu Jun felt a bit repulsed and waved his hand dismissively. “Enough, enough. Go cultivate. Reach Super Tier as soon as possible.”

The three of them all entered secluded cultivation.

Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Lu Jun immersed himself in star control. With the enhancement of the Star Sea Controller, his efficiency soared dramatically.

By the second month, he had completely mastered Water Element Super Tier magic. First-level Water Holocaust: Water Sluicer Overturning Rivers and Seas could conjure a vast ocean out of thin air, overturning an area of several kilometers in every direction.

With Lu Jun’s cultivation, an eighteenfold power amplification plus transcendent control allowed him to flood a hundred li, topple mountains and overturn seas, annihilating a large city, its destructive power rivaling that of third-level Super Tier magic.

The difference between the second- and third-level effects of Water Holocaust was not particularly great. They were respectively called Vast Seas in Turmoil, which affected rivers, currents, and the entire water cycle, and Sea Lord’s Heaven-Shaking Might, which involved the source power of water elements, condensing an ocean deity, unique to each individual.

Of course, no proper Water mage would use Super Tier magic like Water Holocaust in direct combat. It was meant for devastating enemy territory or clearing out demon hordes.

In battle, most preferred to rely on transcendent powers.

Thus, after mastering Water Element Super Tier magic, Lu Jun set it aside and focused all his efforts on the Psychic Element Super Tier magic.

By the end of the fourth month, he finally mastered it.

True Dreamscape—Psychic power could preliminarily interfere with reality, allowing thoughts to manifest, but only with things one was extremely familiar with, and only in a weakened form. Its lethality was not great, but its degree of freedom was exceptionally high.

Lu Jun recalled the Ice Element user White Leopard. That person’s Super Tier Psychic magic was mostly used in conjunction with Ice Element spells, which was also the choice of the vast majority of Psychic mages.

After all, if one had to materialize something they were most familiar with, it was undoubtedly the various elemental magics they themselves had mastered.

What surprised Lu Jun was that the third-level effect of his Psychic Super Tier magic was uncertain, seemingly influenced by Ding Yumian’s Psychic Calamity Talent and the Parthenon divine soul.

It could, like the Curse Element, freely cultivate extraordinary abilities.
