Chapter 1649: Qing'e, The Transcendent

A vast ocean of light energy flooded the heavens and the earth as a sacred light energy Transcendent Tribulation began to swiftly brew. The pure and holy aura that emanated from it lit up everything in sight.

Everyone, including the Heavenly Emperors, directed their attention towards it.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang sighed emotionally. "Such pure and sacred light resonant power. It looks like another Radiant King is about to be born within the ten divine continents."

Even if Jiang Qing'e succeeded in breaking through, she would be a seventh-grade Transcendent Duke. This wouldn't be enough to change the situation, but the potential she demonstrated was undoubtedly extraordinary.

She had three ninth-grade light resonances despite being at the Duke Stage, one of which had reached the upper ninth-grade. This sort of arrangement surpassed even renowned Dual Crowned Kings.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e—one possessed the Absolute Resonance Seed and the other a Genesis Seed. They would inevitably become the hope of the divine continents.

Heavenly Emperor Yin's eye sockets flickered thoughtfully with stark white flames as he took in Jiang Qing'e's figure. A seventh-grade Transcendent Duke wouldn't change things in this situation.

The Heavenly Emperors retracted their gazes and focused on the battles before them.

The Transcendent Tribulation above Jiang Qing'e continued to accumulate at an astonishing speed, far surpassing the previous ones.

Even though the last tribulation had failed, it had given her sufficient experience to speed things up. Additionally, the Tiny Realm Pill that the Pill Saint had given her was simply miraculous, increasing the chance that she would succeed in this breakthrough. Such a treasure was hard to find. If word of it got out, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of many Heavenly Emperor powers, and they would fight over it with maddened eyes.

Weng!

The Transcendent Tribulation then spat out a ray of tribulation energy, filled with dense light source origin that roared towards the six Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds behind her.

Bang!

The Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds were forced to endure, as only by resisting this baptism of source origin energy would she be able to forge the seventh one.

The Apex Resonance Crystal Core appeared between Jiang Qing'e's brows, and two sets of Archaic Runes flowed around it.

She had activated her upper ninth-grade and two middle ninth-grade light resonances. Thanks to her robust foundation, the six Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds were able to stand steadfast, constantly absorbing the light source origin from the tribulation.

After a while, sacred light poured down, condensing within the middle of the Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds.

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The light that was produced was blinding, as though a great sun was being created.

Everyone could see the seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried being formed within this sacred sun, and at great speed!

The Kings like Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lingzi, and the rest couldn't help but sigh in amazement. Jiang Qing'e's breakthrough was proceeding at an even quicker pace than Li Luo's!

"It looks like the previous failures weren't a complete waste after all. Jiang Qing'e's seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried was always just one step away from completion, and this was the opportunity she needed."

As the crowd remained in awe, countless rays of light radiated from the artificial sun. One particular beam of light shot into the sky, lighting up the entire horizon. After the light spread, it recondensed into numerous streams of light that poured right back into the seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried.

At that moment, the newest Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried was completed in the air.

A regal Transcendent Heavenly Throne began to take shape above it. It looked slightly different from Li Luo's, the entire body resembling glazed glass, engraved with innumerable sacred runes that represented the origin of light.

Jiang Qing'e waved her hand, causing the Holy Phoenix Parasol to appear in her grip. Then she took a few careful steps forward. Mystical and sacred sword afterimages lingered in the air with each motion.

In the end, the afterimages all fused together, transforming into a gigantic figure.

Even though the figure was blurry, it clearly had twelve wings!

This sight caused the Pill Saint to gasp in shock.

"This is... the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance?!"

How could she not recognize the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's Transcendent Art?

Jiang Qing'e directed the sword energy from the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance into the Transcendent Heavenly Throne.

After all, the Heavenly Throne required a Transcendent Art as a foundation. The more Transcendent Arts one wielded, the more robust their foundation and the more power it would possess.

Li Luo's Transcendent Heavenly Throne had the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation and the Nine Dragons Paragon Emperor Seal as its foundation. The Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance focused on one's light resonance, and Li Luo wasn't capable of using it since light was merely one of his secondary resonances.

However, this wasn't too much of a problem as his resonances would continue to evolve in the future. One day, he would supplement his throne with this Transcendent Art.

Jiang Qing'e was of the same mind, choosing to form her Transcendent Heavenly Throne immediately and improve upon it later.

However, the Pill Saint suddenly chimed in.

"Your talent with the light is exceptional. I have a Light Transcendent Art here that you can use for the formation of your Transcendent Heavenly Throne as well."

She stretched her hand out, and light erupted, revealing a pair of eyeballs carved from glass crystals. They were like living creatures, constantly blinking. Suddenly, they glowed very brightly.

The crystal eyes shot out two beams of light directly into Jiang Qing'e's eyes, filling her mind with an obscure transmission.

"This is the Transcendent Art... Daybreak Sight Purifies the World!"

Jiang Qing'e's heart shook upon receiving this information. The Pill Saint had just gifted her an incredible Light Transcendent Art just like that! This favor would be hard to repay.

However, she didn't thank her yet. She immediately activated the Divine Knowledge state of her Genesis Seed, allowing her to swiftly decipher and comprehend the gigantic amount of knowledge she had just received, and to imprint it into her heart.

Any bottlenecks and pitfalls in understanding were overcome instantly. The Daybreak Sight Purifies the World Transcendent Art was like a match made in heaven for her.

As she circulated the boundless light resonant power through her body, rays of light were slowly forming in her eyes. Her deep and enchanting eyes became exceptionally dazzling, like they were the eyes of a goddess. In just a few short moments, Jiang Qing'e mastered the new light Transcendent Art with unimaginable speed.

Now that the art had been learned, she activated it with a thought, allowing the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance and Daybreak Sight Purifies the World to transform into runes that adorned the surface of her Transcendent Heavenly Throne. At this point, it was truly complete.

When Li Luo saw this, he couldn't hold back a relieved and appreciative smile. Jiang Qing'e was previously on the cusp of reaching this step, but for the sake of protecting him, she had used the Transcendent Tribulation as a distraction to disrupt the Saturnine Hydra Devil King, giving up her own opportunity to buy time.

And now, it was her turn to shine.

"Thank you, Senior Pill Saint." Li Luo respectfully clasped his fist in thanks for her kind gesture of providing Qing'e with a Transcendent Art.

As the Pill Saint looked at Jiang Qing'e, she softly replied, "There's no need. Her talent in the path of light is, frankly, beyond comprehension. Coincidentally, the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance and Daybreak Sight Purifies the World were both arts that the Sect Master had wielded in the past."

Li Luo was stunned by her words and fell silent for a few moments. "Did the Sacred Void Resonance Sect Master have a light resonance as well?"

Any information regarding that individual had been lost to time; not even Heavenly Emperors were able to unearth any information about him. However, the Pill Saint was different—she was alive at the time. Thus, if there was anyone who might know... it would be her.

The Pill Saint nodded. "The Sect Master did indeed have a light resonance. It was also his strongest."

Li Luo's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was struck by a myriad of emotions as all sorts of thoughts exploded in his mind. He had immediately thought of Jiang Qing'e's origins. She had been brought out of the headquarters of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect by Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan.

Judging by the fact that the Sect Master's crystal resonance and windflame resonance were hidden throughout the world... Wasn't there a possibility that his light resonance was hidden within Jiang Qing'e's body?
