Chapter 1489: Perfect Breakthrough! Three Golden Ten-Pillars!

The three gigantic pillars of energy rushed into the sky, forming vortexes that covered the horizon, greedily devouring worldly natural energy and making for a spectacular sight. The people in the Celestial Mirror City were still in shock from seeing Diwu Mingxuan forge his Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried, and their emotions were heightened even further at the new development.

They realized that a violet energy stream was being sucked into the depths of the vortexes, causing them to resemble three violet clouds.

The appearance of these three violet clouds left everyone's mouths hanging.

The entire city had fallen deathly silent.

After a few moments, a frenzied uproar burst out.

"Auspicious Violet Clouds?"

"This is... the sign of a perfect breakthrough!"

"There are actually three perfect breakthroughs? How is that even possible?"

"It's the truth. According to the records, whenever a perfect breakthrough happens in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, it causes a phenomenon where auspicious clouds will condense from violet energy. This is the energy of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, so it cannot be faked!"

"Diwu Mingxuan's breakthrough didn't have the same phenomenon. This means that he might not have used Celestial Mirror Sand for it but rather his own means to forge a Ten-Pillar!"

"How talented!"

"Who are the three who had perfect breakthroughs?"

"It looks like its coming from the East Divine Continent's side."

"An outer divine continent?"

"How can this be?!"

Countless shouts erupted throughout Celestial Mirror City as they were all taken aback by the three violet clouds. The city was bursting with excitement and discussion.

Meanwhile, amidst the noise.

An immense amount of energy gathered beneath the Auspicious Violet Clouds. As the violet energy flowed, three majestic and towering Duke Bergfrieds began to form with rapid speed.

Each of them gave off different types of resonant power undulations.

The first one emanated a sense of holiness and purity, resembling glazed glass as it stood tall in the sky like the sun, releasing endless brilliant rays of light that illuminated the world. The second one looked as though it was forged from mysterious ice that had been frozen for thousands of years. It emanated terrifying ice energy, causing even the void to freeze. The first two Duke Bergfrieds released energy of a single resonant power affinity. Meanwhile, the third one was the most mystical as six different kinds of resonant power flowed around it, transforming into their own independent runes that were engraved onto the Duke Bergfried. When one looked at it, it felt as though the Duke Bergfried was its own independent minor world! Although the resonant power affinities of the three Duke Bergfrieds were all different, there remained a single point of similarity: all of them possessed ten golden pillars at their crowns. The most archaic of runes were carved on each one, giving off the feeling of perfection and completion.

Three Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds!

The entire city had fallen silent yet again. Three perfect breakthroughs that all formed Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds! This was unheard of in the history of the entire Celestial Mirror Pagoda.

"I know who those three are. It's definitely Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, and Lu Qing'er. They are the only ones from the East Divine Continent with Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, so only they could have made perfect breakthroughs!" someone said with a complicated look in their eyes.

"That doesn't seem right. How did they obtain so much Celestial Mirror Sand? Could it be that all of the Celestial Mirror Sand won during the Sand Seizing Battle was distributed to them only?"

"I don't know."

Within the Holymist Sage College's living quarters, Lu Ruyan's expression turned red with fury as she looked at the three eye-catching pillars of light. Her hands cracked loudly as she clenched her fists and the veins on the back of her hand popped out.

She immediately recognized that the Duke Bergfried that emanated a pure frost energy was Lu Qing'er's!

This meant that Lu Qing'er was now a second-grade Transcendent!

"Damn it!" Lu Ruyan was absolutely incensed. She stamped her feet in fury, causing terrifying ice energy to erupt. It spread across the top of the tower, transforming the entire building into a frozen sculpture that exuded a frigid air. "It's all because of that bastard Li Luo!"

If she had not lost all her Celestial Mirror Sand during that Sand Seizing Battle, she would have considered attempting a perfect breakthrough. Alas, she had to rely on the cultivation resources that she had prepared in advance and utilized a top-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure to forge a nine-pillar Duke Bergfried. Indeed, in the past three months, Lu Ruyan had ascended to the Seventh Duke Stage! She now had a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried and six nine-pillars. This robust foundation allowed her to confront eighth-grade Dukes like Sheng Qiao'er without any fear. However, this was lacking when compared to Lu Qing'er's Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, because it also determined her future prospects.

The further Lu Qing'er advanced on the Path of Ascension, the more the elders from Golden Dragon Mountain would treasure her. As time went on, her chances of seizing back the Permafrost Sacred Seed would drastically decrease.

"Just what right does she have? I've been doing my utmost in Golden Dragon Mountain for

years

, and the moment this wild wench returned, I have to give up everything I earned!?" Lu Ruyan shouted furiously, her voice echoing in the tower.

......

In the depths of Celestial Mirror City, in a stone pavilion facing a lake.

Three people were sitting underneath the pavilion. They were Wang Xuanjin, Elder Bai Yu, and Elder Jin Xi. Elder Bai Yu was currently in the form of a beautiful lady with an exquisite and well-endowed body. However, instead of legs, she had a white snake tail that was left uncovered. As a mighty spirit beast, she took pride in her true form. In her eyes, the human body was weak, so there was no need to take their form. However, when it came to speaking, a half-human form was most effective. The three Kings were similarly observing the Auspicious Violet Clouds with shocked expressions.

"Did Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, and Lu Qing'er all make perfect breakthroughs?" Elder Jin Xi asked.

"The Celestial Mirror Sand they earned shouldn't be enough for all three of them to do that, no?" Elder Bai Yu asked softly, giving off a gentle aura.

"It looks like they've used some sort of special method to bolster its effects," Wang Xuanjin said meaningfully.

"Oh? Something that can enhance the effects of Celestial Mirror Sand? That's rare," Elder Jin Xi commented.

"One is the scion of the Dragon's Fang Lineage and the other is Golden Dragon Mountain's prized princess. It isn't surprising that their elders have prepared something to assist them. It is actually expected," Wang Xuanjin said with a grin.

Jin Xi and Bai Yu nodded in agreement. Both Li Luo and Lu Qing'er came from Heavenly Emperor powers. Things that others could not accomplish were nothing to them.

"However, the fact that all three made perfect breakthroughs and forged Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds is a wonderful event that has never happened in the history of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda," Wang Xuanjin continued.

Elder Jin Xi glanced in another direction, where a pillar of energy rose into the clouds and a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried was present within. "Diwu Mingxuan has obtained a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried as well, but it wasn't a perfect breakthrough..."

According to Elder Jin Xi's senses, the tenth pillar of that Duke Bergfried was a little lacking when compared to the other nine, and the divine runes on it were also a bit weaker. This meant that Diwu Mingxuan's Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried's foundation simply wasn't adequate.

"I sense a familiar energy from Diwu Mingxuan's tenth pillar," Elder Bai Yu suddenly said.

Wang Xuanjin nodded. "That is the aura of the Radiant King. If I'm not wrong, the only reason why Diwu Mingxuan was able to forge a Ten-Pillar was because he used the Radiant King's Bone of Light. Hehe, it looks like the Radiant King truly values him, seeing as he's willing to spend a fortune on him."

Hearing the title "Radiant King" caused Jin Xi and Bai Yu's expressions to turn solemn. Within the Academic Federation, the Radiant King was known as the strongest King, second only to the Heavenly Emperors. He was an existence that stood at the peak of Triple Crowned Kings and was just a step away from the Heavenly Emperor Stage. In the past few hundred years, the Radiant King had purified more than ten Other Kings. His illustrious reputation had also become a legend within the Academic Federation. Radiant King, Qi Huang—Diwu Mingxuan was his disciple.

......

In a greenwood tower.

Zhou Jun and Shen Jinxiao with Guo Jiufeng's appearance retracted their gazes.

"Jiang Qing'e has entered the Fourth Transcendent Duke Stage. That is quite fearsome. Even if I were to reach the upper eighth stage, I might not be her match," Zhou Jun said with some fear in his voice.

"Jiang Qing'e..." As Shen Jinxiao lightly enunciated her name, a perverted smile appeared on his face. All those years ago in the Astral Sage College, he had coveted Jiang Qing'e's Heart of Light to the point of madness. It was a pity that in the end, he had failed. If only he could devour that pure and sacred Heart of Light... his future would become limitless. With that in mind, Shen Jinxiao subconsciously licked his lips greedily. What he had not accomplished in the Xia Kingdom would be completed this time. In the end, Shen Jinxiao waved his hand to bid Zhou Jun goodbye and left the tower, entering the large streets and rushing back towards the living quarters of the East Divine Continent.

When he left, "Guo Jiufeng's" eyes became dazed for a moment and he stood there blankly before looking around in confusion, mumbling to himself, "Why am I here?"

He had reverted back to the original Guo Jiufeng, whether it was in terms of aura, demeanor, or voice. After pondering over the matter for a few moments, Guo Jiufeng shook his head in confusion before leaving, returning to the East Divine Continent's area.
