Chapter 1477: Absolute Resonance Bergfried Forging Art

Inside the cultivation chamber.

Li Luo sat cross-legged and swiped his hand across his pocket sphere, causing an ancient bronze lamp to appear. It silently floated before him.

It was decorated with ornate and ancient runic engravings that still remained clear despite the years of erosion.

"Sacred Void Resonance Sect, Void Resonance's Six Sons, Wang Taixi," Li Luo muttered to himself. He held great curiosity towards this esteemed individual from the past. Furthermore, even the Academic Federation and the Origin Reversion Institute, much less a Heavenly Emperor power, was unable to compare with the behemoth organization behind him.

Could it have been the strongest faction that had ever existed?

Even so, they were unable to bring an end to the chaos caused by the Others. It was clear that the Others were a vile tumor that was so deeply rooted that it was incredibly difficult for the living creatures to excise them from this world.

Perhaps only when a tenth-grade resonance was born could the world be cleansed. However, the very concept of a tenth-grade resonance was simply ephemeral. Even the mightiest sect leader of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was unable to successfully make one. If even he had failed, then who else would be capable of doing so?

Li Luo's mind pondered over these thoughts for a moment before he quickly disposed of these superfluous musings, focusing on the task at hand. He stretched his palm out, and four grains of Celestial Mirror Sand rose up. Boundless amounts of ancient energy surged up; it was so intense that it even turned into a mist that flowed around the chamber. As time passed, the crisp sounds of a flowing stream could be heard coming from the mist, a mysterious sight to behold.

He then took in a deep breath as he could sense a warm energy current running through his limbs, swiftly transforming into resonant power that filled up his resonant palaces.

The quick conversion speed from energy to resonant power would leave anyone dazed.

"I hope these four grains are enough to allow me to break into the upper second-grade,"

Li Luo thought to himself with a look of anticipation in his eyes. These were the last few grains that he had borrowed from the East Divine Continent's Sage colleges. The rest had been used as a wager for the Sand Seizing Battle and the Academic Federation's law enforcement team were thus in custody of it. It could be said that the entire East Divine Continent's returns from the Domain Traversal Battles had been hoovered up by Li Luo.

As a result, he felt a little embarrassed. Although his contribution had been the greatest, it wasn't as though the other squads had not put in any effort themselves. In the end, they were still willing to loan him the Celestial Mirror Sand. Although they had hopes of obtaining even more in return, the trust they had in Li Luo was a heavy burden in and of itself.

"If I lose, my reputation in the East Divine Continent's Sage colleges will end up in the gutter..."

Li Luo thought to himself as he scratched his head. It did seem as though the bet was a little excessive. However, if he won, everyone would finally be able to eat their fill. Especially the squads from the East Divine Continent—it would give them the resources to cultivate for many years. With this in mind, Li Luo no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and flicked his finger forward.

The four grains of Celestial Mirror Sand shot forward, entering the ancient bronze lamp.

In just an instant, the Celestial Mirror Sand immediately melted away and only golden flames were seen burning within the lamp. The flames slowly curled up and transformed into slowly rising golden smoke.

The golden smoke was several times thicker than Li Luo's first experiment.

Within the golden smoke were countless flying runes that were indiscernible to the naked eye. They gave off an archaic air and their pristine undulations made it seem as though they were the purest form of worldly natural energy.

Li Luo's four resonant palaces began to tremble violently and his six resonance affinities came to life.

Wisps of golden smoke then tunnelled into his body as though they were sentient and proceeded to course through him like a raging river, running rampant. Li Luo's mind was calm as he guided the boundless amounts of energy into his Absolute Resonance Halo.

The Absolute Resonance Halo was able to absorb the energy without limit. In the end, it converted it into an exquisite form of resonant power with great efficiency. The resonant power occasionally morphed into different forms such as a rushing river, flowing light, an ancient tree, brown soil, giant dragons, and dense thunderclouds...

All of his six resonances appeared at this time.

Next, his two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds emerged from his body and the six types of resonant power poured into them, strengthening the Duke Bergfrieds and making them much more majestic-looking.

When he sensed the changes to his Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, Li Luo felt pleasantly surprised.

"The Absolute Resonance Bergfried Forging Art is truly wonderful; its effects are comparable to a high-grade Bergfried Forging Art!"

This was not something he had obtained from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li; he had created it with guidance from Tantai Lan while he was in Godriver City with the aid of his Absolute Resonance Halo. Based on what she had said, this method of cultivation could be called the Absolute Resonance Bergfried Forging Art, and the more resonances he had, the greater its effects.

It was said that the sect masters of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect had used a similar technique to forge and temper their Duke Bergfrieds.

However, Li Luo had only learned about this in Godriver City and had spent all his time comprehending it. This was the first time he had actually utilized it.

And the effects left him incredibly satisfied.

"The Absolute Resonance Seed has finally shown some benefits,"

Li Luo thought to himself before blocking out all external influences and immersing his mind into the process of absorbing the wisps of golden smoke into his body greedily.

The cultivation chamber turned silent and only the sounds of his six resonances polishing his Duke Bergfrieds could be heard occasionally.

Time gradually passed.

Eventually, the resonant power undulations coming from Li Luo's body became mightier.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the outside world, the upcoming Sand Seizing Battle had become the hottest topic of conversation. There were even some who had opened up betting stands, and the excitement that surrounded this event had already exceeded the fame of the eighth-grade Dukes.

However, it was clear that most favored Lu Ruyan and Chi Li, which wasn't surprising in the least. They all felt that Li Luo was the weak link. Even though he had achieved a victory over the lower seventh-grade Fang Xingyun, how could that opponent compare with Chi Li, who was not only half a grade higher but also spent his time cultivating in the Mythical Spirit Ancient College?

Li Luo's victory had also been attained with the usage of that strange curse art and the bolstering buffs of his squadmate. If precautions were taken against the curse art and the squadmate was taken out of the equation, what did he have up his sleeve that would allow him to beat Chi Li? And once Li Luo was defeated, Chi Li would join hands with Lu Ruyan to fight Jiang Qing'e, and even she would have a hard time resisting their combined onslaught. Both Lu Ruyan and Chi Li were also part of the Eighteen Heroes and were reputable individuals within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda; they weren't some wooden dummies that could be knocked over with ease. Thus, everyone was very curious as to why Li Luo dared to take on this Sand Seizing Battle. Was he planning to leave everything in the hands of Jiang Qing'e? He would truly be over relying on his wife!

While the commotion in Celestial Mirror City was heating up, Li Luo slowly opened his eyes within his cultivation chamber.

Majestic energy undulations suddenly broke out.

The void behind him shuddered and two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds gradually appeared. The pressure emanating from them was undoubtedly stronger than before.

A smile broke out on his face.

In these ten days, with the aid of the ancient lamp, the four grains of Celestial Mirror Sand, and the Absolute Resonance Bergfried Forging Art, he had succeeded in reaching the upper second Transcendent Duke Stage.
