Chapter 0926: Spiritual Resonance Cave

"Yes, the Spiritual Resonance Cave."

Li Jingzhe nodded before he continued, "It's an extremely mysterious secret realm, likely created by an ancient lineage for cultivation. In fact, it's a secret realm that specifically exists to upgrade one's resonance grade. This is a rare phenomenon, and its existence sparked a bloodbath among the various forces in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent as soon as it was discovered. Everyone eyed the cave, including the Heavenly Emperor powers.

"Back then, even a King like me participated in the fierce fight, but there was no end in sight. No one was willing to give up on such a rare and precious opportunity. In the end, the battle only subsided because the Spiritual Resonance Cave started showing signs of breaking down. We decided that some of the top powers would seal it up and open it for everyone together. As a result, no one would be able to monopolize the cave."

As Li Luo listened, he secretly clicked his tongue. If even Kings were fighting over it, the Spiritual Resonance Cave must have been exceptionally precious to everyone involved.

"Certain talismans form naturally around the Spiritual Resonance Cave. These objects are the keys to enter the cave. Of course, most of them are intercepted by the experts from the various forces that are guarding the cave. However, the rules state that they cannot collect all of them. They have to leave some lying around so that even rogue cultivators can collect a few for themselves. By doing so, they avoid igniting the wrath of the masses for monopolizing this rare opportunity for themselves.

"And there are different grades to these talismans." At this point, Li Jingzhe waved his sleeve, and three talismans flew out. They were copper, silver, and gold-colored respectively. The golden colored one was the most dazzling of all, with the most intricate and complex characters emblazoned on it.

"We refer to these as Resonant Talismans. There are three different grades to them, with the gold Resonant Talisman being the highest. In general, the higher grade Resonant Talisman will bring you more benefits in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. In fact, some of the special districts in the cave can only be accessed if you possess a gold Resonant Talisman. We usually award the talent with the most spectacular performance in the Battle of the Dragon's Head one gold Resonant Talisman, hoping that it increases his chances of finding the best opportunities in the Spiritual Resonance Cave."

As Li Luo listened to this, he nodded. This was one of the perks that came along with being the most prized genius.

"However, the gold talisman is not just for talents like those who have performed spectacularly during the Battle of the Dragon's Head. Another special group will get to enjoy the benefits as well," Li Jingzhe continued.

"What other group?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

"The Spiritual Resonance Cave is mainly divided into two parts, an inner and an outer district, and where one goes is decided by their cultivation level. The one that you will be entering will be the outer district, where only those at the Heavenly Resonance Tier and below are allowed," Li Jingzhe explained.

"In other words, the ones who truly have the ability to compete will be those at the Heavenly Pearl Tier."

Li Luo frowned as soon as he heard this. Only those at the Heavenly Pearl Tier would stand a chance in the cave. However, there were only two people in their generation, Li Qingfeng and Lu Qingmei, who were at that tier now. Additionally, they were only at the two-pearl tier.

That was considered the beginning of the Heavenly Pearl Tier.

When they entered the Spiritual Resonance Cave in the future, would there be enemies with even more Heavenly Pearls waiting for them, even those at the seven-pearl tier and higher?

Looking at the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages, the ones that fulfilled this criteria... could only be...

"The Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies?" Li Luo asked.

Li Jingzhe nodded and replied, "You're right. The Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies will be sending out a few Heavenly Pearl elites to participate in the Spiritual Resonance Cave as well. The other major forces will also be sending their best fighters at the Heavenly Pearl Tier to get the most out of this rare opportunity."

Hearing this, Li Luo felt kind of hopeless as he said, "I thought our generation was the protagonist here. Now it seems like we're just the side characters."

With the most elite Heavenly Pearl Tier fighters in the mix, two-pearls like them would not be worth mentioning at all.

Nonetheless, it was a clear sign of how highly regarded the Spiritual Resonance Cave was. It seemed like all the Heavenly Pearl elites in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent would be coming for it, as long as they could obtain the talisman.

Being able to upgrade one's resonance grade was an extremely attractive proposition.

After all, it was extremely rare to see someone like Li Luo, who could upgrade his resonances infinitely as long as he had the spirit liquids and purifying lights for it.

The opening of the Spiritual Resonance Cave was a really grand occasion in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. If one could shine there, their name would surely be known throughout the continent.

"There's no need to feel so down. Some of these opportunities in the Spiritual Resonance Cave are not just dependent on one's strength. You'll have to look at your affinity with them as well. Besides, I've given you all these treasured artifacts to boost your power too." Li Jingzhe comforted them a little.

Li Luo nodded in response. He was not exactly afraid. In fact, such a competitive scenario would be perfect to bring out his full potential and allow him to improve rapidly.

All these talents would be good whetstones to sharpen himself against.

There was also some time before the opening day of the Spiritual Resonance Cave. This meant that he could still improve himself in the meantime.

"It seems like this will become a really grand event on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent," Li Luo said with some anticipation.

He would surely get to see the strength of the various talents from all over the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.

"By the way, will there be anyone from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College coming for the Spiritual Resonance Cave too?" Li Luo suddenly asked his grandfather.

"Heavenly Origin Ancient College? They are located in the western part of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. They seldom appear in the central area. After all, this is where the various Heavenly Emperor powers gather and compete. They simply do not want to get caught up in any of it. Of course, the Heavenly Origin Ancient College has been around since ancient times and their foundation is really strong. They're also one of the founders of the Academic Federation. As a result, the Heavenly Emperor powers respect them, and they are naturally included in opportunities like the Spiritual Resonance Cave too," Li Jingzhe explained.

"So there'll be people coming from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College?" Li Luo asked.

Li Jingzhe nodded in response to his question. "Why? Do you know anyone from there?"

Li Luo hastily shook his head and replied with a laugh, "I used to study in a sage college back in the Xia Kingdom. As such, I am naturally interested in the ancient colleges that have been known to be of a higher tier."

"The ancient colleges have their own unique ways of grooming talents. Moreover, the Academic Federation has been around since ancient times to fight off the Others. They're a truly respectable organization," Li Jingzhe said.

Li Luo nodded in agreement. He was thinking that if he got the chance, it would be great to connect with someone from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. He still had a request from Vice Principal Su Xin to fulfill. Furthermore, it would be of assistance when he needed to deliver the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. With these thoughts in mind, he looked forward to the opening of the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

"Danger is abundant within the Spiritual Resonance Cave, so you will all need to be more careful when you're over there. It's different from the competitions you’ve faced here. Every time the Spiritual Resonance Cave opens, there are bound to be talents from the various Heavenly Emperor powers that die. In addition, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li is watched by countless enemies. When you meet them, there is no need to hold back," Li Jingzhe warned them.

Li Luo and the others nodded in agreement.

With that, Li Jingzhe did not speak any further. He let the three of them finish their meal before he waved his hand. "It's been a long and tiring day for you all. Go back and have an early rest.

"Oh, yeah."

He turned towards Li Luo, who was standing up at this point, and continued, "Ox Biaobiao should be done in about three days' time. I have made arrangements for the Green Nether Hall as well. Remember to be present."

He paused briefly at this point before he said, "There's been no one to lead the Green Nether Hall all this while. It's time for you to step up and help your father."

When Li Luo heard this, there was a tinge of pleasant surprise in his eyes. Was Uncle Biao about to recover?
