Hangzhou.
Mo Fan had left. Before departing, he seemed in a great hurry, his face filled with anger. It appeared that when Mu Ningxue was establishing her clan, she was being obstructed by the Magic Association, with the Mu Clan faintly involved behind the scenes.
Lu Jun pondered this but did not interfere. Instead, he began gathering personnel to head to Yantai to subjugate the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree.
A Supreme Monarch, he had long wished to measure himself against one. In the past, when facing the Corpse of the Mountain and Skeleton King, he had relied on transforming into the Underworld Emperor to intimidate them. Now, he would fight using only the true power he had cultivated.
"The participants must be carefully considered. Otherwise, if they are instantly killed by a Supreme Monarch and I fail to save them in time, it would be far from ideal."
Lu Jun deliberated. First, the Totem Xuan Snake and Yan Shi, the Half-Forbidden Curse mage, had to go. Two combatants at the Supreme Monarch level, just that alone would be enough to suppress the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree.
Next, he himself, his sister Lu Mei, and the Totem Moon Moth Phoenix all possessed strength at or above the Mid-Moanrch level. They would not be instantly slain by the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree and could assist in the attack.
"That will be the lineup."
After finalizing the list, he did not linger in Hangzhou and returned to his residence in Magic City, Jinyuan Apartment.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast was extremely fast. With peak Commander-level cultivation, it took only a little over ten minutes to arrive.
Downstairs, before entering, Lu Jun hesitated slightly. Thinking about how he had been fooling around these past few days, first sharing passion with Ding Yumian, then spending nights with Sister Tang Yue, he realized he might have neglected his sister just a little.
He pushed the door open, pretending nothing was wrong, and saw his sister Lu Mei, Mu Nujiao, and the others.
When Lu Mei saw him return, already well aware of her brother's nature, she snorted coldly and turned back to her room.
"Hey, hey, Sis!"
Lu Jun shamelessly followed after her, only to be met with a slammed door in his face.
Seeing this, he sighed helplessly. Although his sister had said nothing, she was clearly upset. He would have to wait for her anger to subside before mentioning the matter of subjugating the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree.
He was in no rush to head to Yantai. That demon god tree was there, it could not run away.
Killing a Supreme Monarch was easy; emerging completely unscathed was difficult.
Lu Jun did have a method, that was to cultivate the Life Element. He was confident that with Calamity-level Healing Magic in one hand, combined with the Parthenon Divine Soul, even if someone went to see the King of Hell, he could pull the dead back.
Immediately, he returned to his room to meditate and elevate the Life Element.
Crack!
To his surprise, just as Lu Jun began cultivating, within his spiritual world, at the edge of the vast, multicolored star domain, the light membrane surrounding a cluster of milky-white dust could no longer wait and dissipated into nothingness.
Next, the Life Stardust expanded rapidly, evolving in one breath into forty-nine stars, transforming into a modest-sized nebula containing abundant magic energy and vitality.
It was as though maintaining the Stardust form had never been a bottleneck of cultivation, but rather an invisible spiritual pressure weighing upon him.
In an instant, in the outside world, Lu Jun's entire body became crystal clear and radiant. Surging life force shot into the sky, transforming into a faint milky-white ripple that swept outward in all directions at lightning speed.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Centered on Jinyuan Villa, a portion of the urban district was enveloped. All things revived, the smog dispersed, the air turned fresh, returning to the most natural primordial state.
Countless ornamental plants along the roadside grew wildly, weeds flourished, flowers bloomed in abundance. Even the surfaces of towering skyscrapers were embraced by blossoms, resembling sky gardens.
For a time, the area where Pearl Academy was located in Magic City formed a wondrous spectacle.
Those closest, Mu Nujiao, Lu Mei, and Jun Ya Jin,were most affected. They inexplicably felt a gentle, warm breeze brush past as some form of vitality was infused into them.
For reasons unknown, Mu Nujiao felt completely at ease. Millions of pores across her body opened, and the hidden injuries accumulated from cultivation and battle were silently healed. Minor innate or acquired blemishes on her skin disappeared.
She became a flawless jade beauty, her skin tender like that of an infant. Subconsciously, she lifted a mirror to look at herself and was astonished, she seemed several years younger.
Seeing this, Mu Nujiao's expression grew serious. Following the source of the vast leaking life force, she looked toward Lu Jun's room.
"It's him… what exactly happened?"
Mu Nujiao was puzzled. Her beautiful eyes shone with curiosity. What woman did not love beauty? If she could receive the baptism of that mysterious aura from Lu Jun every day, her gaze gradually turned fiery.
On the other side, Lu Mei's changes were minimal. After all, since Lu Jun's reunion, he had nourished her daily with life force, already bringing her to the utmost peak.
She turned her head to look at her younger brother's room next door, worry rising in her heart as she murmured, "Is it the Healing Element sealed with the Parthenon Divine Soul? Nothing will go wrong, will it?"
Not only that, among young people cultivating magic like Lu Mei, the changes were not yet obvious.
But for white-collar workers, the elderly, and children living in the city, it was nothing short of a miracle.
A middle-aged man buried in paperwork at his office desk was swept by the milky-white ripple. His spinal disease, lumbar strain, and gastrointestinal problems were instantly cured.
He suddenly felt his body lighter than ever before, his spirit vigorous and full, as if he had returned to his energetic youth. His eyes were no longer dry, his kidneys and liver no longer ached.
The middle-aged man was utterly stunned. "What is happening to me…?"
Or somewhere within an urban village, several bedridden elderly people who had been tossing and turning in pain throughout the night now found their bodies stretching comfortably. Their previously contorted expressions returned to calmness as they fell into a deep sleep.
Or in a hospital, a young wheelchair-bound patient with a leg disability, who had injured himself while performing extreme sports relying on his vitality.
The young man was submerged by the milky-white ripples. His legs began to feel slightly warm, as though soaked in a hot spring, followed by an intense itching sensation.
He cried out involuntarily and could not help but stand up. After realizing what had happened, he froze on the spot and muttered blankly, "Is this… a medical miracle?"
The abnormalities occurring in this region were soon discovered by the Tribunal. However, after conducting various investigations, they found nothing unusual and could only regard it as a fortunate event, though they remained utterly puzzled.
They could only record the incident, compile it into an official file, and store it in the highest-level confidential archive, intending to uncover the truth one day.
At this moment, inside Jinyuan Apartment, Lu Jun opened his eyes. His mind was tranquil as he slowly exhaled a long breath. "The breakthrough to the Mid Tier happened in an instant."
Lu Jun noticed the commotion he had caused and frowned slightly. "Breaking through to the Mid Tier of the Life Element created such a disturbance. It's far more terrifying than when my other Elements broke through to the Mid Tier back then."
Thus, he ignored it and carefully sensed the Mid Tier Magic of the Life Element.
The ordinary Mid Tier Healing Element spell is called [Healing Spirit], which releases milky-white butterfly-like clusters of life energy that follow beside each person, essentially equivalent to carrying a Healing Mage at all times, continuously providing treatment.
It lasts until the magic energy of the Healing Spirit is completely exhausted and it disperses.
Each level of the Mid Tier produces one additional Healing Spirit. At the peak third level, three Healing Spirits can be released.
Healing Mages such as Ye Xinxia and Nanrong Ni have both used it before, making it a common sight.
As for Lu Jun's… he exclaimed in surprise, "Life Spirit?!"
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Lu Jun grew curious and decisively constructed the Life Star Map. Normally, Nebula Magic requires precise control of the Stars to be released, but with his Eighth Realm spiritual power, he managed to release it clumsily despite having just broken through to the Mid Tier.
A milky-white and exquisite Star Map was outlined in the void, decorated with emerald-green patterns.
