Chapter 0725: Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College

Inside a tent in House Luolan's convoy.

Li Luo had graciously invited Vice Principal Su Xin and Dean Ling to take a seat before fetching Ox Biaobiao, Li Rouyun, and Chi Chan. They were currently the three mightiest experts in the convoy.

"Why don't you speak first, Vice Principal Su Xin? Did you have a solution to Qing'e's burning Heart of Light?" Li Luo blurted out immediately as he couldn't restrain himself any longer.

Everyone in the tent looked at Vice Principal Su Xin in surprise.

Under everyone's scrutiny, she nodded before shaking her head. "There is indeed a solution, but it lies with Dean Ling." She gestured towards the golden-haired beauty next to her.

"She has spent the last two months gathering resources to refine spirit liquids and purifying lights and has thus been away from the Xia Kingdom. I reached out to her when the school was going through a crisis and then she hastily returned. As things were already over, I also explained Jiang Qing'e's situation to her, and she did come up with a suggestion."

"Dean Ling, is this true?" Li Luo couldn't hold in his excitement any longer. Ling Zhaoying's presence was not significant to most of the students in the college. In addition, she seemed a little mysterious, only because she held the title of dean in the Resonance Artificers Hall. Normally, she was not involved in day-to-day activities and she spent her time focused on spirit liquids and purifying lights research.

It was also rumored that she was someone that Principal Pang had managed to recruit with much difficulty.

This was normal. Without even talking about her combat abilities, she was an eighth-grade resonance artificer. This was more than sufficient for her to look down upon the entire Xia Kingdom's resonance artificing world. Any resonance artificer with her capabilities would be able to live a prosperous life even in the inner divine continents.

When faced with Li Luo's expectant gaze, Ling Zhaoying smiled before sighing. "Who would have expected that the college and the Xia Kingdom would undergo such a catastrophe in a mere two months? Old man Pang has really miscalculated."

Perhaps the only person in the entire Astral Sage College who was daring enough to call the Principal an old man was her.

Ling Zhaoying then turned to face Jiang Qing'e, who was beside Li Luo, and said, "Qing'e, you're the first person I've met in so many years that was willing to sacrificially ignite their ninth-grade Heart of Light. When Vice Principal Su Xin told me about it, even my heart ached for you."

Qing'e lightly pursed her lips. "Dean Ling, Li Luo is more important to me than my Heart of Light. I have no regrets."

Li Luo scratched his face. Even though he had thick skin, her bold words caused his face to turn red-hot.

"Willing to love, willing to hate. I'm truly envious." Ling Zhaoying was full of praise, and the appreciation in her eyes increased ever more.

"Dean Ling..." Li Luo impatiently watched the two, his eyes full of anticipation as he awaited the solution to save Jiang Qing'e.

Ling Zhaoying didn't mind his impatience. "I personally do not have the ability to stop your burning Heart of Light, but I know a place that can. They definitely can."

"What place?" Li Luo immediately asked.

"The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College." Ling Zhaoying no longer held anything back, directly giving the answer.

"The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College?" When the name was spoken, everyone in the tent looked at each other with a little bit of confusion.

"Is that the ancient college in the Central Core Divine Continent?" Li Rouyun asked.

Vice Principal Su Xin nodded as she looked at Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. "The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College is the most elite college in the entire world. They are also one of the founders of the Academic Federation. Thus, its heritage is beyond your wildest dreams. Additionally, the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College specializes in light resonant power. From a certain point of view, it is an extremely suitable place for Qing'e. Although the amount of geniuses in the college are like clouds, I believe that with Qing'e's talent, she will definitely be able to shine there."

Dean Ling also spoke up at this point. "The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College has a mystical Radiance Pool. It is said that all high-grade Tree of Resonant Power seeds have to be refined inside it before they can survive in the outside world. That is what can possibly save Jiang Qing'e's life."

"Radiance Pool..." Li Luo murmured to himself as a trace of anticipation formed in his gaze.

Although he had plans to bring Jiang Qing'e to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, he did not know if he would be able to find a solution within three months. Ling Zhaoying's solution, on the other hand, was truly a pleasant surprise.

He then turned towards Li Rouyun, hoping to get some confirmation from her. After all, she was from the inner divine continents, and although she was not from the Central Core Divine Continent, she definitely knew more than him.

When faced with Li Luo's expectant gaze, Li Rouyun sighed deeply before answering, "The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College does have a Radiance Pool, but I heard that it is a sacred ground for the college. They will not open it lightly for people to use. I heard that there was once a light resonance ninth-grade Duke that had wanted to borrow the Radiance Pool but was rejected by the college."

In the end, what Li Rouyun wanted to confirm was that even if Jiang Qing'e went to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, would she even be able to utilize the Radiance Pool to save herself?

"Indeed, your average person would not be allowed to utilize the college's Radiance Pool. One has to fulfill certain criteria to do so. Even if they are a King, this is an immutable rule," Ling Zhaoying explained.

"What sort of criteria?" Li Luo felt a little apprehensive. If a ninth-grade Duke was unable to do so, then how harsh were the requirements?

"In a way, the criteria can both be very simple or very difficult depending on the individual." Ling Zhaoying grinned.

"The fortunate thing is that you guys probably belong to the former."

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were both a little surprised before they saw Ling Zhaoying stretch out a finger. "If one wants the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College to open up the Radiance Pool for them, they simply have to obtain a Violet Resonant Tree Brooch."

Li Luo was taken aback, and he felt a surge of joy well up within him. No wonder she had said it would be a simple task. He and Jiang Qing'e had each managed to obtain one during the Holy Grail Meet!

This criteria was indeed extremely harsh in some senses. Only he and Jiang Qing'e had managed to obtain Violet Resonant Tree Brooches in the entire East Divine Continent during the Holy Grail Meet.

"Although the Holy Grail Meet was only conducted in the East Divine Continent, it is a competition sanctioned by the Academic Federation. Student Qing'e followed the rules and achieved great distinction to be rewarded with the Violet Resonant Tree Brooch. This signifies that she has obtained the ancient college's recognition." Vice Principal Su Xin smiled.

"With the Violet Resonant Tree Brooch, student Qing'e has satisfied the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's requirement."

Ling Zhaoying nodded. "Well, other than that, there is one other condition: one has to be a student of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. This is rather simple as I wish for Jiang Qing'e to follow me back to the Central Core Divine Continent. I will sponsor her entry into the college. With your outstanding talent, even the ancient college will agree to have you join them. In addition, you might even be able to enter the Heavenly Star Hall to cultivate."

"The Heavenly Star Hall?"

"The Astral Sage College has four halls, the One, Two, Three, and Four Star Halls. The distinction in the Ancient College is even more significant. Anyone in the Four Star Hall and above will also be separated into several grades. One of them is the Heavenly Star Hall, and all those who are part of it are the unsurpassed peers of their generation. In a way, if we wanted to exaggerate, all of them are destined to become Dukes." Ling Zhaoying smiled. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's faces twitched. Was this the difference between an ancient college and a sage college? The Heavenly Star Hall possessed an absolute foundation!

Li Luo felt a little moved. "Thank you, Dean Ling. If the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's Radiance Pool can resolve Sister Qing'e's burning Heart of Light, we are willing to go there!"

When Li Rouyun heard this, she felt a little anxious. Wasn't this child supposed to follow her back to the clan? How had he suddenly decided to run off to the Central Core Divine Continent to join the Ancient College?

Ling Zhaoying just smiled and she shook her head at Li Luo.

"Li Luo, I can only bring Qing'e. I only have one nomination..."

The excited look on his face stiffened.
