Chapter 1054: Golden Seal

In the Dragon's Fang Mountain Range.

Li Luo spent his first two days back at the Dragon's Fang Mountain Range behind closed doors, only stepping out once to visit Li Rouyun. He relaxed himself, clearing all useless thoughts and fully focusing on recovering.

The Spiritual Resonance Cave expedition had been extremely dangerous for Li Luo. It was an exhausting adventure where he had to juggle dealing with the talented sprouts from the other powers, a sneak attack from the True Devils, as well as the terrifying King that appeared in the end.

Although he had managed to come out alive, he was completely spent.

He was not fit for further cultivation in this state of tension. The wiser move for the long term was to unwind for a while.

Two days later, in his cultivation chamber.

Li Luo, who was now rejuvenated and full of vitality once more, sat cross-legged on the futon. He closed his eyes slightly and entered a cultivation state. It was also at this time that he finally activated the Pearl Condensation Art that he had obtained from the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

The Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art!

Now that he was finally at the Heavenly Pearl Tier, having a good Pearl Condensation Art was of utmost importance. The better his Pearl Condensation Art, the more efficient it would be for him to condense his Heavenly Pearls.

Like an engine, a buzz echoed in his three resonant palaces. His six resonances were projected into the space behind him.

Water, light!

Wood, earth!

Thunder, dragon!

The worldly natural energy surged as the six resonances intertwined with each other. Energy with different attributes was drawn out continuously and flowed into his body.

Three dazzling and brilliant Heavenly Pearls appeared behind Li Luo and began to spin gradually.

Just beside the third pearl was a small spark of light. As the worldly natural energy flowed in, it gradually lit up and grew in size and brilliance.

This was the embryonic form of his fourth Heavenly Pearl.

It hadn't even been ten days since Li Luo had broken through to the Heavenly Pearl Tier, yet his fourth Heavenly Pearl had already reached an embryonic stage. This was thanks to the impressive Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art as well as the final fight in the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

Coming face to face with death, his mental state was at its peak, and that was very beneficial to his cultivation.

This went on for a while before the worldly natural energy being absorbed slowly calmed down. Li Luo's tightly shut eyes slowly opened up. As a thought flashed through his mind, his fourth Heavenly Pearl floated before him.

He nodded slightly as he sensed its progress.

"The Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art is really impressive. Based on my progress, it'll take me no more than half a month to condense the fourth Heavenly Pearl completely," Li Luo muttered to himself.

Such speedy progress would make others elated, but it was not enough for Li Luo.

His expectation for himself was to attain the nine-pearl tier. This was the only way for him to build the ideal and most resilient foundation possible for his future advancements.

In other words, he needed five more pearls to reach the Nine Heavenly Pearl Tier. It would be many times harder to condense the later Heavenly Pearls than the first few.

Under normal circumstances, Li Luo would need close to another year to get there, even with the Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art.

But that amount of time was unacceptable to him. His target? To reach that point in half a year!

He would reach the nine-pearl tier by then.

This meant that relying on just the Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art was insufficient. He would need help from external cultivation resources.

As Li Luo thought about this, his hand swiped across his pocket sphere. A mysterious light shot out onto his palm. It was the Enlightenment Core he had gotten from the White Ape.

Although he had given some of them away earlier, he had kept quite a few for himself. It was the perfect supplement at this point in time.

The most valuable thing about the Enlightenment Cores wasn't the pure energy they contained, it was the energy from the Origin Enlightenment Fruit.

The Origin Enlightenment Fruit was something that could help one understand the origins of his resonances.

"Resonance Origin, huh..."

A light flickered across Li Luo's eyes. A Resonance Origin was something that typically only someone at the Heavenly Resonance Tier could sense. It was the foundation for the formation of his Duke Bergfrieds in the future. However, he had the Origin Enlightenment Fruit, which was capable of breaching that gap.

Li Luo placed the Enlightenment Core into his mouth and activated the Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art.

A moment later, a cooling stream of energy flowed out of the Enlightenment Core and spread across his body rapidly.

Whoosh!

A loud uproar kicked up within his three resonant palaces. His resonances lusted for this newfound energy.

Li Luo focused his thoughts as he channeled it into his waterlight resonance palace.

The waterlight resonance palace contained a large lake filled with crystal-clear water with an indescribable purity to it. It even seemed to give off a sacred luster.

The lake was the manifestation of Li Luo's waterlight resonance.

Its waters were normally calm and serene, as smooth as a mirror. However, huge waves that reached thousands of feet into the air roared and crashed at this moment, sending booms echoing throughout the palace.

On top of that, rain had begun falling into the lake.

Each drop of rainwater contained a wondrous and magical energy that seemed to give off the sensation of returning to their origin.

It was the result of the Enlightenment Core's energy.

As the rain slowly fell onto the body of water, rays of golden light started surfacing from beneath. The repeated condensation of the rays of light was slowly forming something.

At this point, Li Luo understood that this was the Resonance Origin.

However, the last bits of energy from the Enlightenment Core had been exhausted, and it had only been enough to form half of his Resonance Origin. He could only vaguely make out its overall shape. It was like an incomplete, golden seal.

"So this is the Resonance Origin?" Li Luo muttered to himself curiously. He would need it to assist his cultivation once he reached the Heavenly Resonance Tier. This was the thing he would use as the foundation of his Duke Bergfrieds in the end.

As Li Luo stared at it, faint, golden light continued to spill out of the incomplete seal. The water around it was slowly being dyed gold, giving off an unparalleled sense of purity that was incomparable to the way it was before.

"So it seems one Enlightenment Core is not enough?"

Li Luo frowned. However, this was not an issue for him. He had quite a few left with him after all.

He took out another Enlightenment Core and swallowed it without hesitation.

Rain once again began to fall in his waterlight resonance palace.

He repeated the process and exhausted four Enlightenment Cores in total. In the end, a golden seal had completely formed in the middle of his waterlight resonance lake.

The seal exuded an ancient aura. It was like a fish full of spirituality, swimming happily in the lake. Wherever it swam past, the water was refined and further purified.

At the same time, the golden seal continued to absorb waterlight resonance power as if it was feeding on it. However, it was not without end. Once it reached its limit, the golden seal shook a little and a golden water pearl was produced.

The golden water pearl floated on the lake's surface, giving off a similarly archaic presence, much like the golden seal itself.

Li Luo opened his eyes. He was lost in thought for a moment before he decided to take action. Flicking his finger, a strand of resonant power flew out and circled around him.

He focused his mind, and the golden water pearl from the golden seal flew out, fusing with the strand of resonant power immediately.

The fusion of the two led to the strength of the resonant power skyrocketing. There was also a sense that it had been refined further, and the result was the condensation of something more tyrannical and mighty.

Without a doubt, the golden water pearl's purpose was to amplify one's power.

Li Luo was pleasantly surprised with this result. The golden water pearl contained a trace of source origin and could improve the purity of his resonance power. This was the main advantage of the Heavenly Resonance Tier.

Who knew that he could obtain this result with the assistance of the Enlightenment Cores?

It was no wonder Qin Yi and the others were dying to get their hands on them—they were a potent tonic and boost for those at the Heavenly Resonance Tier.

Li Luo's eyes lit up as his hand swiped the pocket sphere on his wrist. He should be able to create quite a number of golden seals with the amount he had left. These seals would lead to a virtuous cycle where even more golden water pearls would be created!

If everything was activated when he fought against his foes, he could temporarily experience a huge spike in resonant power.

This was a huge boost to his battle strength.

"Not bad at all."

Li Luo stood up in satisfaction. With that, his cultivation session had ended for today.

He would head over to the Green Nether Banner tomorrow and meet his fellow banner members. There was a need to speed up his progress in the Fiendish Devil Cave after all.

Once everything was said and done, he could finally head for the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.
