Lu Jun could not help letting his thoughts run wild.
He thought to himself, "My Curse Element Super Tier magic can release Nail of the Seven Arrows at the very first level. It's practically unsolvable, even a Great Monarch can be ambushed by it. Could the Psychic Element Super Tier magic also have this kind of potential?!"
His mood lifted. He felt that his Psychic Element Super Tier magic did not need to be confined to a fixed framework. He even suspected that those ancient allusions might have originated from ancient Psychic Element mages.
Lu Jun planned that after returning to Jiuzhou, he would seek out Ding Yumian to research together. With her talent, she had likely already broken through to Psychic Super Tier, and on top of that reached the third realm of spiritual cultivation.
After the fourth month, Lu Jun had fully mastered all his Super Tier magic. After thoroughly consolidating the Super Tier of the Water, Psychic, and Curse elements, he transferred the Star Sea Controller to his elder sister, Lu Mei.
This allowed Lu Mei to accelerate the construction of her Earth and Fire Super Tier Star Palaces.
With the remaining time, he immersed himself in cultivating his other magic elements, focusing especially on the lagging Space-Time Element. This element was used frequently, yet he had never encountered any particular opportunity for it, leaving it far behind the others.
By the end of the fifth month, nourished by the dense elemental environment, the Triangular Dimensional Realm, the White Tiger Pendant, and other enhancements, Lu Jun finally cultivated the Space-Time Element to a state of completion.
The Space-Time Element advanced to High Tier Level Three. The effects of Blink were enhanced, at second level it could already carry others in teleportation, while at third level the distance was greatly extended.
Lu Jun estimated that with the augmentation of Eighth Realm spiritual power and the Triangular Dimensional Realm, he could probably teleport ten kilometers in a single jump, far exceeding the upper limit of ordinary space mages. This was practically no different from long-distance teleportation.
"Not bad. My escape speed has improved again."
He felt thoroughly satisfied. Now, all six major elements had reached High Tier peak or above, with only the Space-Time and Metal elements remaining at Level Three.
Seeing this, Lu Jun did not hesitate. He retrieved a pot-bellied High-Legged Spider from his spatial storage, obtained from the pyramids.
Puchi! With a thought, a sharp silver blade descended, slicing open the spider's abdomen. A vast surge of essence energy poured out.
Weng weng weng!
The White Tiger Pendant shone brilliantly, manifesting a massive white tiger in midair. It opened its blood-filled maw, greedily devouring the endless stream of essence energy. Within the internal blood-colored marshland space, grain after grain of deep-blue luminescent light began to condense.
Ten Servant-grade essences… thirty… one hundred… until several hundred motes of light floated in the void before it finally stopped.
Lu Jun was delighted. He stored away the High-Legged Spider's corpse, planning to find a reliable magic tool master to refine it into a Star Sea magic artifact.
"A total of four hundred and sixty Servant-grade essences. Advancing two magic elements to High Tier Level Four might be a bit tight."
However, Lu Jun did not mind. He still had over eighty Warrior-grade essences, ten Commander-grade essences, two fragmented Monarch essences, and even one complete Monarch essence that could all be to used.
Weng weng weng!
In the next instant, he drew forth the surging essence reserves within the White Tiger Pendant and injected them into his spiritual world.
Within the dark cosmos, a deep-blue waterfall cascaded down. Pure and abundant soul power spread out, as if originating from the River Styx beneath the netherworld.
The silver river and the platinum river encircling the three Star Seas surged violently. Their boundaries rapidly expanded, and with a crack, shattered the light-membrane barrier. Both doubled in size, sprawling until they resembled vast oceans.
The Space-Time and Metal elements advanced to High Tier Level Four.
Lu Jun quickly comprehended the changes in the two High Tier spells—Void Passage and Endless Divine Arsenal.
He pondered, "Void Passage?! Endless Divine Arsenal?"
The former—fourth-level Void Passage was no longer limited to short-distance teleportation. It could open a Void Passage, continuously transporting personnel across distances of hundreds of kilometers, a truly strategic-level ability.
Lu Jun immediately thought of its applications. If he could project his soul outward, carrying part of his power, and then use the Void Passage, wouldn't he be able to provide remote support at any time to several important family members, protecting them?
"Interesting. In the future, a Space Forbidden Spell—global airdrop. Maximum deterrence."
Unable to resist imagining it, he then turned to the latter. The evolution path of the Metal Element's fourth-level Endless Divine Arsenal was unexpected.
Evolved from Taibai Yuan Magnetic Qi, it could, through powerful control, freely shape metallic qi, condensing tens of thousands of divine weapons and bestowing them upon subordinate soldiers.
These divine weapons possessed weakened versions of vibranium, dragon-pattern nether iron, and Taibai Xin Metal effects, and could exist in the world for long periods.
"Why is it moving toward a semi-support role?"
Lu Jun frowned, but when he recalled that metal attributes in ancient times also had characteristics tied to warfare, he reluctantly accepted it.
Wait… he suddenly realized its use. Wouldn't his Summoning Element and Death Element benefit from this? Skeletons and zombies wielding sharp metal swords each—there was no doubt their lethality would skyrocket.
One had to know that back when Lu Jun's Metal Element was at the Basic Tier, he was practically unstoppable at the Servant level.
Lu Jun sighed and checked the soul essences inside the White Tiger Pendant, immediately feeling immense heartache.
The vast number of soul essences he had painstakingly accumulated was now completely emptied out. All that remained were the most valuable ones: a single Monarch-level soul essence, two incomplete Monarch soul fragments, and ten Commander-level soul essences.
"All elements at the Intermediate Tier are already at level four. As for reaching level five across the board, I'll have to wait a while longer."
Lu Jun shook his head. Using Monarch or Commander soul essences to upgrade star particles was absolutely not worth it, he would rather sell them.
After finishing the upgrades for his High-Tier magic, the last thing he focused on was cultivating the Metal Element, striving to solidify his foundation so he could break through to the Super Tier in one go at the Altar of Void.
With that, Lu Jun's schedule for the past half year had been packed to the brim. He had basically stabilized the cultivation of all his elements, and it was time to end his closed-door training.
When he finally stepped out of his room after a long absence, he saw Lu Mei and Jun Yaojin in the living room. The two women were relaxed and unhurried, cooking in the kitchen.
During this period, the two of them had taken turns cooking, though Jun Yaojin did so most of the time.
This was the downside of being a mage— the physical body was fragile. Even Super Tier mages couldn't truly fast for long periods. After ten days without eating, they simply couldn't hold on.
But that applied to ordinary Super Tier mages. Someone like Lu Jun was an exception. With the Life Element, the life aura of the void continuously gathered, and the trillions of cells in his body were brimming with vitality every single moment, nutrients fully sufficient.
Lu Mei glanced at her younger brother and greeted him, "You're done cultivating? Come eat."
The two women's progress was a bit slower. Jun Yaojin had broken through to the Blessing Super Tier three months ago, but afterward her control over the Star Palace had been slow. Lu Mei had only reached the Star Sea Control Device two months ago, and her Fire Element magic formation was currently more than halfway complete.
There was no helping it— Lu Mei's Spiritual realm was only around the fifth or sixth level, so a slower pace was understandable.
Lu Jun shook his head. He looked outside the villa and noticed that it was raining heavily. A lot of water had even seeped in, and the garden was covered in mud.
He asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
"No idea." Lu Mei shook her head. "According to the Australian TV news, rainfall over the past half year has inexplicably increased more and more. Many regions have suffered flooding disasters."
