Chapter 0763: Goals

Lightning Twister Plantain Fan.

Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment.

Li Luo's face changed as soon as he learned about the two new secret arts. These were no ordinary resonance arts—they held formidable power that exceeded even a Duke Art. However, Li Luo would not be able to pull them off alone. He would need to unite the strength of his banner in order to use these arts.

These secret arts had been specially created for the Twenty Banners.

Thankfully, Li Luo was already part of the Twenty Banners. As long as he became the Green Nether Banner Leader, he would be able to unite the might of the 8,000 Green Nether banner members and cast these secret arts. Surely, such strength would be comparable to that of a Duke expert.

Li Luo continued to study the two new secret arts for another moment before his priority shifted back to the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art.

Notwithstanding how it would help Li Luo speed up his cultivation, the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art would also be indispensable for him to take charge of the banner members under him.

At this moment, Li Luo closed his eyes and focused his mental state to study the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art. Information flowed into his mind as he analyzed its details. This went on for half a day before Li Luo opened his eyes again in shock.

"So, this is the supposed Ten Fiend Fiend Arts? Wonderful," Li Luo muttered softly to himself in awe. Compared to this, the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath that he had mastered previously was truly just rudimentary fundamentals.

The secret of the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art involved utilizing a special method to refine dragonbreath. After repeated refinements, the dragonbreath would reach an extremely pure level that could then be channeled into earth fiend energy within the body. With this, more abstruse fiend lights could be refined.

This was definitely one of the top Fiend Arts in the world. If it were placed in a lower level country like the Xia Kingdom, everyone would fight to their deaths for it.

Its main limitation was that it could only work on the Earth Fiend level and was not as powerful as a Duke Art. However, its significance and utility would easily place it on par with a Destiny-grade Duke Art in the eyes of many.

Li Luo let out a sigh before he went back to cultivating, attempting the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art.

However, the way to refine the dragonbreath over and over again was very complex, and he kept failing even though he had previously mastered the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath.

The Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath was way harder than the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath.

Li Luo remained patient and continued trying, learning from the experience as he failed time and again. After he spent half a day on countless attempts, he finally succeeded in refining the first Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath.

The Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath glowed with a dark-gold radiance as it entered Li Luo's body.

"I have finally succeeded."

Li Luo let out a sigh of relief. The first time was always the hardest, and it would get better and faster in the future once he became familiar with it.

Following this, Li Luo drew the earth fiend energy into his body and fused it with the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath.

Ten strands of abstruse fiend light then entered his waterlight resonance palace, and Li Luo finally grinned in satisfaction.

Although the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art only added three more strands of abstruse fiend light compared to the Six Revolutions, the Fiend Art could be cultivated multiple times a day. Over time, this would instill such a huge lead that even numerous high-grade Fiend Origin Pills would not make up for it.

Moreover, there was a limit to consuming high-grade Fiend Origin Pills. Taking too many of those would affect one's foundation and make it more difficult to advance to the next rank in the future.

"Now that I have the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Arts, plus the Green Nether Banner monthly stipend, I can probably refine around fourteen hundred strands of abstruse fiend light in the coming month," Li Luo contemplated. Currently, his waterlight resonance palace had roughly two thousand strands of abstruse fiend light. At this rate, his waterlight resonance palace would reach its limits in two month’s time, and he might be able to rank up to the Greater Fiend Palace Tier.

This was shocking progress.

Despite this, Li Luo was not content. There were only three months left until the battle for the position of Green Nether Banner Leader, and he had to secure it at all costs.

Li Jingzhe had told him that he would only share information on the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus after he had become the Banner Leader.

As such, he had to win the position, whether it was for the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus or for him to establish himself in the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

In other words, he would have to face off against Zhong Ling, who was currently a Gold Fiend and much stronger than him.

He had barely managed to eke out a victory in his previous fight against the Silver Fiend Mu Bi with the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner, so he would stand little chance against the Gold Fiend Zhong Ling with his current strength. In other words, Li Luo's current goal was to at least boost his second resonant palace to the Greater Fiend Palace before the fight for the Banner Leader position.

Both his woodearth and thunder dragon resonance palaces were of a lower grade when compared to his waterlight resonance palace. As a result, they would likely only be able to withstand approximately four thousand strands of abstruse fiend light.

This meant that he would need another eight thousand strands in the next three months to achieve his goal, approximately twenty-five hundred more strands of abstruse fiend light needed per month.

"Sigh."

Li Luo felt slightly demoralized after doing the math in his head. Twenty-five hundred strands per month was an astonishing amount. Even with his Ten Fiend Fiend Art and the high-grade Fiend Origin Pills he would receive, he was still short of almost a thousand abstruse fiend lights every month.

Li Luo was sure that even in the inner divine continents, only a handful of geniuses would be able to pull it off.

He pondered deeply. How could he possibly make up for this shortfall?

If he relied on high-grade Fiend Origin Pills, he would need two hundred more pills every month. This was clearly impossible as he only received fifty every month currently, even with two monthly stipends.

Furthermore, relying on the Fiend Origin Pills for abstruse fiend lights would not be a wise move, as mentioned earlier.

In that case. There was only one choice left.

The Seventy-Two Layers of the Fiendish Devil Cave

Li Luo tapped his knees lightly with his fingers. Perhaps he could find a way to get the extra thousand strands of abstruse fiend light from there.

However, this was not something he could do alone. He would require the strength of the fifth division, which meant that he would need to master the Draconic Atavism Scripture, as well as achieve harmony with the banner members.

Li Luo nodded slightly. There were six more days before the Fiendish Devil Cave reopened. In these coming six days, he would focus all his energy in achieving this state.

In the end, he could only hope the rewards from the Fiendish Devil Cave would live up to his expectations and be worthwhile.
