Chapter 1526: Swords Dance

A strange heartbeat could be heard coming from Jiang Qing'e's body. It was like the beating of an ancient drum, sounding out from a corner of the universe before the beginning of chaos, representing the genesis of life itself. As the heartbeat hastened, the spot of light on Jiang Qing'e's forehead began to condense more and more, causing even more dazzling light to bloom as if it was a sun. Her eyes became more abstruse and brighter as well, like the molten gold of the setting sun and giving off an indescribable charm that would cause anyone who looked at her to feel intoxicated.

Li Luo could clearly sense the changes happening to Jiang Qing'e. Her resonant power had not strengthened qualitatively, but he could sense that the pressure she emanated had become several times stronger. At the same time, Jiang Qing'e's warm voice, which had turned a little cold like the water of a pristine mountain spring, sounded out in his ears. "Li Luo, I'll soon demonstrate the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance."

He was a little surprised as he asked, "You've managed to fully cultivate it?"

This was a true Transcendent Art, and in terms of grade, it surpassed even the peak state of his Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation. He'd have to bring it to the Five Sword realm if he wanted to truly call it a Transcendent Art. Despite Li Luo's talent in resonance arts, it would take him quite some time before he was able to master the sword formation. Meanwhile, Jiang Qing'e was already capable of wielding the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance in just a short amount of time?

"I've activated the Genesis Heart, allowing me to reach a state where I'm filled with divine knowledge. In this state, I can quickly speed up my understanding of resonance arts, which includes Transcendent Arts," Jiang Qing'e explained.

"The Genesis Heart? Divine knowledge?" Li Luo's eyes were filled with confusion. These were terms that were foreign to him. Why did they seem unreasonably powerful? Even Transcendent Arts could be mastered at a rapid pace?

"The Genesis Heart is the precursor to the awakening of the Genesis Seed," Jiang Qing'e further explained.

"The Genesis Seed is ridiculous." Li Luo was left speechless; all he could do was sigh in envy.

Jiang Qing'e smiled. "It's not as amazing as you imagine. Transcendent Arts can't be cultivated and wielded casually. If I wish to use the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance, I'll need your assistance. After all, you've learned the cultivation method as well."

Li Luo fell into deep thought before awkwardly saying, "Sister Qing'e, you're thinking too highly of me. I've not even come into contact with the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance. How can I possibly help you?"

The Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance was a Light Transcendent Art, and even though he had a light resonance, it was merely a secondary one. Normally speaking, using a secondary light resonance to attempt to even comprehend the Transcendent Art would be an impossibility. Thus, whenever he tried to comprehend the art, he would be left with only exhaustion and a splitting headache. Unless he used the Absolute Resonance Halo to fuse his resonances into an upper ninth-grade light resonance, his results would be insignificant. The upper ninth-grade resonance was meant to be used in moments of great danger as his blood essence would be severely depleted after the effect wore off. Thus, it was impractical for him to utilize the elevated resonance for brief periods just to learn the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance.

Jiang Qing'e suddenly looked like a goddess of light who had fallen in love with a mortal, with a sacred but tender look. Her impeccably beautiful face turned a tinge of red as she shyly said, "The two of us are one of body and mind. You simply have to follow my guidance later and I'll naturally pass on my feelings and comprehension to you. So long as we are in harmony, we'll be able to dance together and perform this Transcendent Art for the world to see. However, you'll also need to use your upper ninth-grade light resonance."

When Li Luo heard her slightly embarrassed but gentle voice, his heartbeat quickened. He could only imagine just how breathtakingly gorgeous she was at this moment in time.

[TL Note: Brother doesn't have eyes on the top of his head.]

"Alright." He assented in the end.

A moment later, the gigantic Heavenly Dragon began to regress back to a human figure. At the same time, his six resonances' resonant power fused within the Absolute Resonance Halo, causing it to rumble. His blood essence swiftly depleted as well. "Senior Hongyou! Give me your strongest Jade Dragon Pill!" he shouted.

A smile appeared on Li Hongyou's usually cold expression as she lightly bit the tip of her tongue without hesitation. A drop of blood essence rolled off her tongue into her cupped hands, emanating a dense fragrance. A slender and elegant dragon manifested above her and released a torrent of dragonbreath downwards, merging with the droplet of blood essence in her hands. Li Hongyou's expression turned pale rapidly. In the end, an incredibly overpowering fragrance emanated from the resulting product, a Jade Dragon Pill. The Jade Dragon Pill shone brilliantly and the patterns engraved on its surface resembled a coiling dragon.

The Three Transformations Jade Dragon Pill that Li Hongyou had placed all her effort into refining was on the cusp of reaching the Six Transformations grade. She then flicked her finger, sending the Jade Dragon Pill towards Li Luo.

"Thank you." He grabbed the pill and swallowed it, then an effusive heat bloomed throughout his body. The blood essence that had originally been depleted, leaving him with a sense of weakness, was gradually recovering.

Whoosh!

A moment later, endless light swept out of Li Luo's body. The radiance was so strong, it immediately purified the grayish-black aura in the sky. Even Shen Jinxiao's ninth-grade Worldspace Domain's suppressive effect vanished at that instant. A Crystal Core that resembled a mysterious vertical eye condensed between Li Luo's brows. The light resonant power coming from his body was incredibly pure, surpassing even Jiang Qing'e's!

Diwu Mingxuan, Sheng Qiao'er, Ning Meng, and the rest were dumbfounded upon seeing this, and they blurted out, "Apex Resonance Crystal Core!? Upper ninth-grade light resonance!?"

"How can this be?!"

Their hearts were filled with turmoil. This was incomprehensible! Li Luo clearly only had a secondary light resonance, so how could it have reached the upper ninth-grade?

Diwu Mingxuan finally understood why Li Luo had entered the temple before Song Jing on the Star of Light. Additionally, this was why the Light Transcendent Art had recognized him. It turned out that it had sensed the lingering aura of the upper ninth-grade light resonance.

As Jiang Qing'e looked at Li Luo, who was blazing with incandescent light, a look of warmth appeared in her eyes and she stretched her slender hand out. "Hold on to my hand."

Li Luo naturally obliged willingly, grasping her small and fair hand. When their fingers interlocked, he could sense endless amounts of information flooding his mind like a tide. It contained the stances of the sword dance and its indescribable glamor, how the trajectory of each movement would move the light energy in the world around him.

This was Jiang Qing'e's understanding of the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance.

The Genesis Heart's state of Divine Knowledge allowed one to easily comprehend obscure and esoteric Transcendent Arts. It was a simple thing for Jiang Qing'e and was undoubtedly a wondrous boon for Li Luo. His originally lackluster and stagnant comprehension of the art had now leapt forward greatly.

Its mysteries were unravelled before his very eyes and his heart shone ever more brightly with spiritual enlightenment. As Li Luo absorbed Jiang Qing'e's understanding, the Apex Resonance Crystal Core on his forehead began to emit boundless amounts of light resonant power like a tsunami, rushing into Jiang Qing'e's body. With the aid of the upper ninth-grade light resonant power, the spot of light on Jiang Qing'e's forehead glittered gloriously.

In the end, Jiang Qing'e raised the golden heavy sword in her hand.

Meanwhile, Li Luo matched her stance with his Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade. When the two swords came into contact with each other, a crisp, resonant sound rang out and dense light resonant power poured out. The entire world around them was gradually illuminated by increasing amounts of light, dispersing the grayish-black darkness. A gigantic figure manifested behind them. It was like a representation of the god of light, overflowing with an untouchable, sacred aura. At the same time, four pairs of wings slowly spread out behind it.
