Chapter 0985: Call for Help
The chaos that ensued in the main hall did not last for long. Some began to realize that the hall itself was beginning to turn illusory and that the entire gilded hall was about to vanish.
Li Luo and Li Lingjing departed immediately upon seeing this. They could see the entire structure turning illusory and gradually vanishing.
Everyone else felt that this scene seemed a little strange. Everything that had happened within seemed incomparably realistic, but when they looked back, it was as though everything was just an illusion.
Li Luo a.s.sumed that the illusion was created by the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. It might not have truly existed in this particular time and s.p.a.ce but was projected here through some means.
However, the Spirit Resonance Golden Dew was real, and the miraculous powers of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect caused Li Luo to sigh in amazement. They must have been incomparably domineering during their prime.
The foundation which they were built upon was something even the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, a Heavenly Emperor power, was unable to compare to. He retracted his gaze and then smiled at Li Lingjing. "Let"s go. Now that we"ve collected enough Spirit Resonance Golden Dew, we can head to the Golden Dew Platform."
His voice was full of antic.i.p.ation as his plans and aims were all resting upon the platform"s powers.
Once he got there, he could complete his breakthrough and improve his resonance grade.
If he succeeded in doing so, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds.
Li Lingjing lightly smiled as she grasped the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff, looking quite carefree at the moment.
Li Luo then turned towards Zhu Dayu and Zhu Zhu, who were beside him, and thanked them profusely for their a.s.sistance. However, the two pairs did not continue to move together, each taking their own separate paths. There were three Golden Dew Platforms, and it would be good to split their goals to prevent unnecessary compet.i.tion.
After saying their goodbyes, Li Luo and Li Lingjing zoomed away.
The two were no longer held back by anything, and even though they occasionally stumbled upon traces of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew, they couldn"t be bothered to collect any more. Their gains in the gilded hall were already stupendous—they would have dew to spare even after gaining entry to the Golden Dew Platform.
As a result, their journey was smooth.
When they stopped to rest, Li Luo used his Acquired Resonance Flame to refine some of the Spirit Resonance Golden Dew into a golden crystal before he beamed happily at Li Lingjing. "Cousin Lingjing, please hold out your hand. I have another gift for you."
Li Lingjing looked at him suspiciously but did not reject, only smiling as she stretched out her slim hand.
"Be careful now, taking advantage of your elder sister might be grounds for a beating," Li Lingjing mischievously said as her other hand waved the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff in Li Luo"s face
Li Luo pouted slightly as he placed the golden crystal in her hand.
She inspected the golden crystal with much curiosity as she was also able to feel some sort of incomparably pure energy coming from it.
It felt familiar, and although it seemed to resemble the Spirit Resonance Golden Dew, it was purified to a much higher degree.
"Why don"t you try to absorb it?" Li Luo continued.
If it were anyone else giving her a strange object for her to absorb, she would simply give a friendly smile as her other hand slammed the staff downwards, causing their brains to splatter.
However, the person asking her to do so was Li Luo, and she trusted him. Thus, she circulated her resonant power and absorbed the golden crystal.
A moment later, her eyes were wide open, full of surprise at the result.
"My resonance seems to have become more pure. This degree of improvement is equivalent to what eighth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights provide."
Li Lingjing had a lower ninth-grade Abyssal Serpent resonance. At this point, it was extremely difficult to rely on spirit liquids and lights to temper it further. Based on her needs, only eighth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights could work, and even then, the effect was miniscule.
Ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights? One shouldn"t even bother thinking about those, as they were so rare that their prices were terrifying. Even the Heavenly Dragon"s Five Lineages found it hard to obtain one, much less the Western Region"s Li Family.
As a result, the fact that the golden crystal could benefit her came as a surprise.
Li Luo grinned. "Good stuff, isn"t it?"
Li Lingjing smiled lightly and nodded. However, she did not ask where it had come from.
Just as he spoke, his expression suddenly changed and his gaze shifted towards the sky. There was a burst of light, and it very quickly transformed into a ma.s.sive, coiling dragon that looked alive.
In particular, the dragon"s fangs were exceptionally eye-catching.
"Dragon"s Fang Signal?" When Li Luo saw the light signal, his expression changed. That was the Dragon"s Fang Lineage"s emergency signal, which meant that someone from the Dragon"s Fang Lineage had encountered danger.
“Was it Second Sister or Elder Brother?”
Energy wings unfurled from Li Luo"s back, flapping with great strength, almost kicking up a tornado as he shot into the air.
Li Lingjing followed quickly.
They utilized their full speed without any restraint and rushed in the direction of the emergency signal.
A while later, they finally approached the location where the signal originated from.
It was a relatively hidden ravine, and worldly natural energy was coursing towards it wantonly. It seemed that this was a location that contained quite a bit of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew.
However, Li Luo was not concerned with any of this, only focusing his vision into the interior of the valley.
Ma.s.sive bursts of energy undulations were exploding, and it looked like an intense fight was ongoing.
Li Luo swept his gaze across the area and noticed that the battlefield had been split into two. On one side he could see Li Fengyi, Li Jingtao, and Deng Fengxian.
The three had grouped up closely.
What surprised Li Luo was that they were only facing one opponent.
The trio were currently working together to fend off a light red-robed girl. She gave off an ethereal beauty, and behind her were two Heavenly Pearls that constantly absorbed worldly natural energy.
In her hand was a fiery-red jade ruler, and she emitted mighty resonant power waves. What surprised Li Luo the most was that her resonant power was a combination of wind and fire. This meant that she possessed dual resonances!
Despite only being a single individual, her battle power was so ferocious the trio were forced into an embarra.s.sing situation.
Li Jingtao"s side could only weather her a.s.sault, but the young lady was also equally smart. After experiencing how terrifying Li Jingtao"s defensive arts were, she focused her attacks on Li Fengyi instead, targeting the weakest link.
Although all three of them had their own strengths, they had been forced into a miserable state.
On the other side, the explosions and exchanges were even more fiery. Clearly, the higher stage Heavenly Pearl cultivators were engaged in a brawl there.
Li Fuling and the other two Banner Leaders of the previous generation were surrounding a single male. He looked extremely ordinary, but there were eight Heavenly Pearls floating behind him, giving him the ability to burst forth with frightening strength.
With a wave of his sleeves, yellow sand was kicked up, transforming into an amber dragon that entangled the trio, preventing them from escaping.
"Eight-pearl male... fire and wind dual resonances young lady..."
Li Luo glanced at the battle as he mentally reviewed the intelligence he was given. He soon knew who they were.
They came from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. The male was Zong Sha, the one leading the group. The younger lady was Jiang Wanyu, who possessed dual resonances of fire and wind.
It seemed as though the two sides had burst into conflict over the appearance of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew in this valley.
"As expected of the best amongst the Heavenly Origin Ancient College." Li Luo sighed in his heart. The two were outnumbered, but they had still forced the trio to release a signal for help.
Of course, the signal was mainly to garner more a.s.sistance to deal with these troublesome foes. "Cousin Lingjing, separate them," Li Luo immediately said as he blazed towards Li Fengyi"s group. Li Lingjing then made her way towards Li Fuling"s battle.
When the two made their move, it attracted the attention of the combatants. When Li Fengyi spotted Li Luo, she happily shouted, "Little Brother! Come help us get rid of her!"
Jiang Wanyu, who was locked in battle, also noticed Li Luo. Frowning, she immediately opened her mouth, and crimson flames rolled out of her lips. At the same time, a berserk tempest of wind whistled as the combination of flame and wind roiled and forcefully pushed the trio back. At the same time, she retreated atop a giant tree and icily glared at Li Luo.
"You cretins from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Is using numbers to overcome others the only thing you’re good at?"
