Chapter 565: Chapter 565: The Path of Immortality, the Holy Shadow Organization
"An immortal and indestructible fleshly body alone isn’t enough. The soul has to keep up as well..."
Lu Jun pondered thoughtfully and thought of the Curse Element and Psychic Element.
These two were also similar to the power of life and death, both representing two sides of the soul itself, corresponding respectively to good and evil, compensating for the shortcoming of the soul being unable to remain eternal.
If Fusion Magic advanced further and could fuse four Elements together, then the path toward immortality would likely become clear.
For now, he tentatively named it, [Yin-Yang Life and Death] (flesh and soul).
Besides that, among Lu Jun’s eight Magic Elements, there were still the Summoning Element, Space-Time Elements, Metal Element, and Water Element.
For the first two, he planned to awaken Chaos after reaching Forbidden Curse rank, merging the three-dimensional Elements into one, tentatively naming it, [Space-Time Samsara].
After all, how could immortality and eternal life possibly lack the concepts of time and space?
As for Metal and Water, they could merge together with Yin-Yang Life and Death. The balance of softness and hardness was also one branch of the principles of yin and yang.
Of course, if he still had extra capacity after advancing to Forbidden Curse, he could additionally awaken the Plant, Fire, and Earth Elements, combining them into, [Five Elements Returning to Origin].
Everything would depend on future developments.
Then, the three great systems would fuse and ascend together, all laws returning to one, becoming immortal and indestructible.
For a moment, Lu Jun vaguely seemed to see a clear road ahead.
Immortality was within reach.
The fusion of Magic Elements would also encompass Emperor-level Origins such as the Life Throne, Underworld King Throne, White Tiger Totem, and Eye of Space-Time. Countless foundations would merge together during the process, allowing his cultivation to rise in one leap to Roof-Level Emperor, perhaps even becoming a true god of the plane.
At once, Lu Jun’s emotions surged.
Ever since awakening during the Intermediate Tier, he had intentionally planned his cultivation path and sought Emperor-level opportunities.
Now that the Fusion Method had finally been born, it was at last time to harvest its abundant fruits.
"No rush, no rush. I can’t get reckless. First, I need to cultivate all my Magic Elements to perfection at the Super Tier, then preliminarily fuse the four Elements of Life, Death, Curse, and Psychic to build a solid foundation."
After recovering his senses, Lu Jun barely suppressed the excitement in his heart and silently reminded himself.
In truth, establishing the foundation of the Yin-Yang Life and Death fusion path at the Super Tier was not difficult.
After all, before the Curse and Psychic Elements had even reached the Super Tier, the Ancient King’s Armor and the Emperor-level origin of Healing the Soul had already temporarily resided within those two Elements. The four Elements already possessed a faint connection between one another.
Lu Jun had only just begun learning the Fusion Method, yet he was already having immense fun with it.
Besides fusing the Life and Death Elements, he continuously experimented with combinations such as Metal-Water, Summoning-Space-Time, and Curse-Psychic, intentionally practicing them.
However, these were merely small-scale tests.
Lu Jun mostly experimented using Beginner and Intermediate spells. Their power increased by two to three times, making him even more eager to witness the spectacle of fused Super Tier Magic.
He wondered just how terrifying his combat strength would become then.
In any case, Lu Jun was impatient to try it out.
Thinking about the release of the Stardust Magic Tools, he sneered, sharpening his blade while waiting for the lambs ready to be slaughtered to arrive.
"Old Feng, you’ve done well. I’ll definitely fulfill what I promised you. How about this—once the money from the Stardust Magic Tool sales comes in, I’ll order the establishment of a Fusion Magic Experimental High School within the Ancient Capital Military Strategy Palace to promote Fusion Magic."
Lu Jun praised Feng Zhoulong and issued the order as a matter of course.
After all, Fusion Magic had to be taught from childhood onward. Young talents were the easiest to accept new concepts, and he could also use this opportunity to cultivate his own direct lineage of followers.
Feng Zhoulong laughed heartily and said with a smile,
"As long as you remember."
"You should hurry and produce more Fusion Magic Tools to distribute to others. I’m not lacking money."
Lu Jun urged him.
Now that Fusion Magic had been born, naturally close companions such as his sister Lu Mei, Tang Yue, Ding Yumian, and others should all receive one. Everyone would get a share.
After finishing his inspection of the Military Strategy Palace, he headed back.
Professor Yuan was still working on the super water circulation formation covering the Northwest region. It could not be completed anytime soon, the scale of the project was simply too enormous and required official support from the Nine Provinces.
Fortunately, with Lu Jun’s current position and wealth, he could push the project forward. There was no need to rush.
Returning to the Evil Abyss, Lu Jun continued his secluded cultivation.
He practiced controlling the Summoning Element Star Ocean and solidifying his Space-Time Element cultivation in preparation for breaking through to the Super Tier.
During this period, his True Name Precognition activated repeatedly.
He continuously observed the reactions of various factions toward the domestic production of Stardust Magic Tools and discovered that the majority of forces had actually backed down.
He could not help but feel greatly disappointed.
It seemed his idea of using enemies to test Fusion Magic had fallen through.
"Sigh. As expected, after years of conquering north and south in battle, I’ve gained far too much prestige. I directly scared away most of my enemies."
Lu Jun sighed, finding it rather dull.
The Yangtze Academy Alliance, the Asian Magic Association, Egypt, and the other interested parties had all chosen compromise and restraint.
Once again, the Ancient Capital had become peaceful.
What he did not realize at all was just how absurd he himself had become.
Five Super Tier Elements.
A half-Emperor Acensention State.
And now he had also mastered Fusion Magic.
Originally, he had needed eight Super Tier Elements to reach Emperor-level combat power.
Now, with his combat strength multiplied several times over, although he was uncertain about true Emperor-level opponents, he could likely already contend against first-step single-element Forbidden Curse mages.
A Super Tier fighting against Forbidden Curse, what a monstrous existence.
Yet while Lu Jun was cultivating, his True Name Precognition suddenly activated again.
His Ninth Realm Spiritual Power (8+1) surged forth as his consciousness wandered through the void. Across tens of thousands of kilometers, he glimpsed the unique snowy Holy City.
He could not help but freeze for a moment.
After overhearing the conversation between the Holy City woman and Ke Ye, realization dawned upon him.
"The Holy City has set its sights on me?!"
Lu Jun sneered, yet remained unconcerned.
His wings had already fully grown. As long as he stayed within the Nine Provinces, he was effectively equivalent to a nation unto himself. The Holy City still did not dare openly offend the entire world by attacking him directly.
Therefore they could only send those who operated in the shadows to trouble him.
Lu Jun observed the stern woman and the mixed-blood man Ke Ye within the vision, carefully recalling information from the original story as he muttered,
"So it’s these two, the Holy Shadow Organization."
The Holy Shadow Organization was a mysterious institution under the Holy City’s Inquisition Court.
It hid within the shadows of the Holy City itself, hence the name, [Holy Shadow].
This group was audacious beyond measure and possessed terrifying strength. Any random member was a Forbidden Curse mage.
From childhood, they had been adopted and carefully nurtured by the Holy City, undergoing countless trials before finally being accepted.
Their role was also extremely simple to deal with enemies the Holy City could not conveniently handle itself.
They were essentially black gloves.
Once exposed, even the Holy City itself would deny any connection to them.
Thus, the Holy Shadow Organization’s methods were extremely dark. They would rather kill a thousand innocents than let one target escape.
The number of innocents wrongly killed by them was ten times greater than the number of actual evil individuals.
In truth, every assassination target selected by the Holy City consisted of human geniuses capable of threatening its rule.
Wen Tai himself had once been on that list.
In the original timeline, this Forbidden Curse mage named Ke Ye had targeted both Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan.
As for the leader of the Holy Shadow Organization, it was precisely this woman before him.
She was known as the Holy Shadow Archangel.
Even the seven orthodox Archangels did not dare provoke her lightly, her status standing equal to theirs.
"Ke Ye if you dare come to the Ancient Capital to investigate, then I’ll make sure you never return alive."
Lu Jun’s heart brimmed with fury.
Judging from the conversation between the two, they truly viewed the people of the world as worthless, killing whomever they pleased.
At the same time, he understood clearly that his peaceful days were running out.
His strength was already approaching the Forbidden Curse realm, touching upon the "red line."
If he crossed this hurdle, he would soar like a dragon.
If he failed, he would become no different from the countless geniuses erased by the Holy City.
As for the Holy Shadow Archangel herself, Lu Jun did not dare continue Spying her too deeply and withdrew his consciousness.
Just as he was preparing to continue strengthening his cultivation, a letter arrived and interrupted his plans.
It had been sent by Asharuiya.
The operation by Su Lu to hunt the Black Dragon Emperor, had already begun!
