Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1738

Chapter 1735: Top Nine Grade, Wood and Earth Phase!

During Li Luo’s four months of seclusion, the Ten Divine Continents experienced a strange period of tranquility. The Dark World’s encroachments and invasions mysteriously vanished, bringing a temporary sense of peace to many factions.

However, the truly supreme experts understood that this so-called tranquility was merely the prelude to a devastating storm.

The current encroachments and invasions were no longer effective. The most crucial issue for all parties was the approaching arrival of the Spiritual Phase Cave Heaven.

Once the Spiritual Phase Cave Heaven reappeared, the “Withering and Flourishing Phase” hidden within would also descend. That would be the moment for the true decisive battle.

The Dark World’s current tranquility was merely a means of accumulating strength for this purpose.

The alliances within the Ten Divine Continents were also striving to enhance their collective strength. Led by the Divine State Association, they were withdrawing numerous top-tier and precious cultivation resources, distributing them based on merit.

Numerous king-level treasures, top-tier elixirs, and spiritual waters and rare lights were taken from the treasuries of the leading factions. These even included unparalleled techniques, accessible to those possessing both strength and merit.

Clearly, all alliances understood that if they lost this decisive battle, the entire world would be shrouded in the shadow of the Dark World, rendering these so-called top-tier resources useless.

Therefore, rather than wasting them, they were best utilized before the decisive battle; even a slight increase in strength was a blessing.

For four months, the atmosphere grew increasingly tranquil, but gradually, the intense pressure inherent in that tranquility began to unleash, causing anxiety and fear among countless beings across the Ten Divine Continents.

However, time did not stand still for the mortals’ fear, and the day of the decisive battle drew ever closer.

…

When Li Luo entered his fifth month of seclusion,

In the starry sky above Golden Dragon Mountain, amidst a ceremony filled with vast golden light, Lü Qing’er was the first to open her eyes. Instantly, a terrifying chill swept over her, as if even the sun, moon, and stars were frozen in the cold.

Between her brows, the seed that had once shone with a mysterious glimmer had completely transformed, forming an ancient, exquisite ice lotus pattern, etched across her smooth forehead.

This acquired, primordial seed, evolved from the Holy Ice Seed, had finally reached perfection at this moment.

Lü Qing’er rose from the copper coin altar, a brilliant icy light rising from her crown, splitting into seven, transforming into seven towering ten-pillar golden platforms.

Each of these platforms was formed from ice crystals, engraved with countless lines of profound ice.

These were the seven ten-pillar golden platforms forged through Lü Qing’er’s cultivation.

However, there was more to it than that… The profound ice lotus pattern between her brows grew increasingly dazzling. The next moment, a mighty force of the icy origin swept across like a hurricane, transforming the void into a world of ice.

Three auras, each imbued with an extremely cold aura, expanded.

These were Lü Qing’er’s own three auras.

Ice aura!

Frost aura!

Ice Luan aura!

Clearly, the latter two auras extended from the ice aura, amplifying its icy properties to the extreme.

The three auras converged, transforming into a beam of icy, piercing profound light that soared into the sky. The aura blossomed, and a chilling aura flowed. Unexpectedly, another marquisate was formed.

Ten pillars crowned it, their icy light piercing, capable of freezing everything in the world.

The eighth ten-pillar golden platform!

When Lü Qing’er’s acquired primordial seed reached perfection, and she drew upon the aura of wealth and nobility accumulated over millennia by Golden Dragon Mountain, she finally took another step on the path to unrivaled excellence, reaching the eighth level of unrivaled status!

Outside the ceremony, Lü Sui and Lü Taiyi, who had been presiding for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Jinlong Mountain had amassed thousands of years of painstaking effort for this moment.

Fortunately, it had finally come to fruition.

Lü Qing’er’s Primordial Seed had been perfected. If she could ascend to the rank of Heavenly King in the future, she wouldn’t even be an ordinary Heavenly King, but a Divine Fruit Heavenly King!

During the ceremony, Lü Qing’er’s beautiful eyes, like icy lakes, gazed upon the eight ten-pillar golden platforms. Her frosty, beautiful features remained emotionless.

Then, her gaze shifted to Li Luo, still immersed in his cultivation. The emanating Origin fluctuations from his body now made even her feel a strong sense of oppression.

In the void behind him, the mysterious and majestic Myriad Phases Wheel slowly rotated, emitting a mysterious roar, as the ten Origins of the Phases continuously circulated within it.

In Lu Qing’er’s perception, Li Luo’s Wood and Earth Aspects had almost reached the pinnacle of the Intermediate Ninth Rank. If it were a normal Intermediate Ninth Rank advancement, he would have succeeded long ago. However, Li Luo’s situation was different. He possessed five Aspect Palaces and ten Aspects, all of which had already been perfectly integrated. Therefore, while others only needed to feed one to advance, he had to feed all ten…

Especially now that he had almost reached a point where advancement was impossible, remedying that final flaw was naturally extremely difficult.

Therefore, even after five full months of cultivation, refining four portions of the Supreme Ninth-Grade Spiritual Water’s Miraculous Light, and garnering the blessing of some aura of wealth and nobility, Li Luo still felt stuck.

Lu Qing’er pondered for a moment, her gaze shifting to the aura of wealth and nobility still flowing during the ritual. Her advancement this time hadn’t completely depleted the aura accumulated over thousands of years at Golden Dragon Mountain.

With a firm resolve, Lu Qing’er’s gaze suddenly flickered to Lu Sui and Lu Taiyi outside the ritual.

“Hey, your daughter’s going to spend the family fortune again,” Lu Taiyi said, stroking his graying beard.

Lu Sui sighed helplessly.

The two men were so experienced that they almost understood what Lu Qing’er was up to from a single glance.

“This aura of wealth and nobility will at least allow Golden Dragon Mountain to cultivate five king-level powerhouses within a hundred years,” Lu Sui said with a hint of pain.

“We still have a hundred years to wait,” Lü Taiyi said with a smile.

“Perhaps, this can also be considered an investment. If Li Luo succeeds, he’ll owe us a great favor. Perhaps this investment will bring us the most lucrative returns ever?”

Lü Sui said wistfully, “I hope so. I can’t afford to lose money.”

As the two spoke, Lü Qing’er, who was in the ritual, had already begun to move. She controlled the ritual, running it through to completion, and then channeled all the remaining aura of wealth and nobility into Li Luo.

Thousands of golden lights streamed down, like falling coins, a crisp sound filling the air.

The Myriad Aspects Wheel behind Li Luo was like a black hole, greedily devouring the incoming aura.

In just half a day, the aura of wealth and nobility that had filled the starry sky vanished completely.

As a result, the massive golden dragon perched below began to dim, shrinking by nearly half its size. The mountains above it shook, and many powerful warriors from the three veins soared into the sky, observing the scene with astonishment.

As the three veins’ masters understood what had happened, they erupted in discussion. Naturally, some expressed dissatisfaction with Lu Qing’er’s stubbornness.

Lu Sui and Lu Taiyi quickly intervened to calm the situation.

However, such criticism could never be completely eliminated. Just

as the controversy raged within Golden Dragon Mountain, the energy of heaven and earth suddenly surged. Vast torrents of primordial energy emerged from the starry sky, like ten endless rivers of primordial energy.

The source of these ten rivers of primordial energy was Li Luo.

At this moment, the Myriad Aspects Wheel behind him erupted with a vast, profound light that illuminated the heavens. The five palaces of primordial energy shone like the sun, radiant and dazzling.

Between Li Luo’s eyebrows, the emerald green vertical mark slowly moved and opened.

A emerald green crystal core, like the vertical eyes of a god, released a vast vitality.

At this moment, many disputes in Jinlong Mountain came to an abrupt end, because everyone clearly felt an extremely terrifying pressure emanating from Li Luo’s body.

Upper ninth grade, wood and earth phase!

Li Luo’s eyes suddenly opened, and the perfect aura emitted by the Wanxiang Wheel behind him at this moment was stronger than ever before.

After going through countless difficulties and overcoming all obstacles, he finally reached this step.

Five dual phases, all of which are of the upper ninth grade!

I wonder if with this foundation, can he take the most difficult step in the world?!

Li Luo took a deep breath. He had walked this unparalleled road for so many years. Perhaps now was the time to give it a try.
