"Yes, thank you, Speaker."

Lu Jun agreed.

Emperor Xu nodded slightly, said no more, turned and left. His tall figure disappeared at the entrance of the headquarters building, leaving only a meaningful sentence echoing in everyone's ears:

"Cultivate diligently. The future of Douluo Continent is fraught with uncertainty and the situation is far from optimistic. If you want to control your own destiny and possess the power to protect what is important, the only eternal truth is to constantly become stronger."

This statement seems to be a warning to these young people, and also... a summary of his own life experiences.

Lu Jun keenly noticed the fleeting, indescribable sadness that crossed Xu Tiandi's eyes the moment he turned around.

Lu Jun understood. This Speaker was a man of great success in the first half of his life, a true winner in life. However, at that world-renowned wedding banquet, Yun Ming forcibly abducted him, causing him to lose all his dignity and destroy all his happiness in an instant.

The pain and humiliation he endured may have stemmed from the fact that he was not strong enough at the time to protect everything he had.

"Alright, everyone, go back and take your medicine, go into seclusion and cultivate, and make sure to stabilize your cultivation level."

Lu Jun composed himself and spoke to his companions.

"Yes, Brother Lu!"

Everyone responded in unison, their fighting spirit high.

They secretly vowed to seize this opportunity and work hard to improve their strength, so that they would never be left behind by Lu Jun forever.

After they dispersed, Lu Jun and Gu Yuena walked side by side.

“My men have successfully infiltrated Shrek City,” Lu Jun said in a low voice. “The next phase is mainly information gathering, so you don’t need to take action personally for now.”

Gu Yuena gently brushed a strand of silver hair behind her ear, her tone calm yet firm: "Even so, I'll still secretly cover for you. Contact me anytime you need anything."

"No problem," Lu Jun replied with a smile, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

Returning to Leng Yaozhu's luxurious villa, it has now practically become his home in Mingdu.

Lu Jun took a deep breath and threw himself onto the soft bed.

"Perfectly, by taking the Qiankun Creation Pill and going into seclusion, I can create an alibi."

He muttered to himself.

As soon as he thought of it, two stunningly beautiful figures quietly appeared beside the bed, one on his left and one on his right.

It was the Ice and Snow Emperors residing within his body.

As soon as Hyotei appeared, they rubbed their hands together with a grin, their icy blue eyes gleaming with excitement and a hint of anticipation for a good show.
"You can rest assured, I'll take care of this small matter of protecting the Dharma."

Seeing Hyotei's obviously restless expression, Lu Jun's eyes twitched slightly. He then decisively turned to the elegant and dignified Yuki-tei beside him:

"Xue Di, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on her... make sure she doesn't cause any trouble."

The Snow Empress remained aloof and cold, nodding slightly, her voice as clear and crisp as the clash of ice and snow:

"Don't worry, I'm here."

With Xue Di's assurance, Lu Jun finally closed his eyes in peace.

His main consciousness began to settle, while a purer and more powerful spiritual will, like an invisible and intangible ghost, quietly left his body and drifted into the distance. The night was deep and still, the bright moon hung high.

The Federal Central Parliament headquarters was brightly lit yet unusually quiet in its solemn hall.

Only one receptionist in uniform sat there, seemingly boredly scrolling through her soul-guided communicator.

However, if a true expert were present, they would be able to sense a powerful spiritual force belonging to the Soul Saint level, just like an invisible radar wave, diligently scanning and guarding every entrance and exit of the entire hall, making it difficult for any disturbance to escape detection.

But at that moment, a tall, slender white figure appeared without warning in the shadow of a huge stone pillar in the hall, right in the absolute blind spot of the Soul Saint's mental scan.

The newcomer was dressed in white, with an exceptionally handsome face and extraordinary temperament. He was none other than Lu Jun, or rather, a divine incarnation formed by combining his spiritual power of the Spirit Realm with the power of space.

He stood there quietly, as if he had blended into the surrounding shadows.

Meanwhile, the Soul Saint lady, who was standing right next to him, remained completely focused on her communicator screen, showing no sign of alertness or response from her mental energy regarding the arrival of this uninvited guest.

A faint smile played at the corners of Lu Jun's lips. The secrets of the Federation's highest-level soul-guided technology laboratory—I'm here.

Just as Lu Jun's spiritual avatar quietly infiltrated the Federal Headquarters, another crisis unfolded in Leng Yaozhu's bedroom, a crisis he was completely unaware of.

Hyotei stood by the bed, his icy blue eyes like the most intense flames, staring intently at Lu Jun, who lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his consciousness already distant.

In particular, the purest and most exquisite ice-attribute aura naturally emanating from Lu Jun was more alluring to her than any treasure in the world.

The ice-attribute soul power within her body seemed to be summoned by a king, surging and flowing uncontrollably. An attraction and desire originating from the instinct of life made her itchy and almost lose her mind.

Over the years, she had resided within the Ice Abyss Sword, growing alongside Lu Jun. Her strength had long since recovered and surpassed its peak, approaching the level of a human level 99 Limit Douluo. However, compared to Lu Jun's ever-improving and near-perfect ultimate ice essence, she felt like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

"I want to...I want to get closer..."

Hyotei licked her slightly dry lips, her eyes glazed over, and subconsciously took a small step forward, her slender hand slightly raised, about to reach towards Lu Jun's body.

"Binger!"

A cold yet stern voice poured down like ice water, instantly making Hyotei shudder.

Xue Di had somehow appeared in front of her, his cold face bearing an undeniable warning.

"What do you want to do? Don't act recklessly!"

Hyotei was startled and withdrew her hand somewhat guiltily, but then pouted defiantly, pointed at Riku-kun, and said to Yuki-tei with a righteous and seductive tone:

"Snow Emperor, can't you sense it? The aura emanating from him... is an irresistible treasure for us ice-attribute soul beasts!"

"Aren't the soul power and ice element within you just like mine, cheering and yearning? Don't tell me you don't feel anything at all!"

Upon hearing this, a subtle ripple flickered across Xue Di's usually cold and aloof expression.

She could indeed feel the powerful attraction of the ice essence, which originated from the same source but was of a higher and purer nature, and the power within her body was also slightly restless.

When Hyotei pointed it out so bluntly, a very faint blush appeared on her eternally icy face, and a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, Hyotei was secretly delighted and immediately pressed her advantage, leaning close to Yuki-tei's ear and whispering in a seductive tone:

"Snow Emperor, look, he's not even fully conscious right now. We're just... getting a little closer to sense him; we won't really hurt him." (End of Chapter)
