Chapter 1312: Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute"s Plot
As Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng"s voice fell, the two took the lead to move. Majestic amounts of energy undulations emanated from them, causing the void to shake. They then moved so quickly leaving behind beams of flowing light as they shot towards the dark Treasure Domain.
When the rest of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li saw this, they immediately followed behind as hundreds of figures pierced through the air in grandiose fashion.
In this group of hundreds, the majority were the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage cultivators of the Five Guardian Armies. They held great hopes in their hearts to obtain Foundational Spirit Treasures and to temper themselves. Ideally they hoped to use this as an opportunity to break into the Duke stage as well.
After all, unlike the rogue cultivators, they had the peak experts from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li protecting them and thus they would definitely have more opportunities.
Li Luo was one of those in that group. However no one dared to treat him as an average fellow in the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage. After all, his Heavenly Resonance Diagram was vaster than before and he could compete head on against a first-grade Duke. Additionally, it had reached the terrifying size of 99,000 feet.
This was what attracted awe and respect from his peers.
They were very clear that to reach this step requires immense amounts of talent, preparation and also ample opportunities.
Despite everyone"s respectful gazes, Li Luo remained focused on the dark and corruption filled World End"s River Treasure Domain. The depths of his eyes burned with antic.i.p.ation as he could feel that his years of hard work and sweat would culminate into reality at this point. The Duke stage!
Many years ago, he had just resolved the issue of his blank palace and before he could relish in the happiness of having a great resonance, he was slapped with a five year time limit to hit the Duke stage or perish. It was like a blade looming over his head and it forced him to keep pushing forward, never daring to rest in case he didn"t have enough time.
In a flash, three years had pa.s.sed just like that. The originally unfathomable target of the Duke stage was within arms reach.
Thus Li Luo couldn"t help but to feel a little bit of excitement within his heart.
Beside him, a slender and cool hand stretched out and lightly grasped his palm. He turned his head to see Jiang Qing"e focusing upon her golden eyes. It was obvious that she had sensed his emotions fluctuating slightly.
After all the two had a tacit understanding of each other and she knew what he was feeling in his heart.
However she didn"t say anything, only tightly holding his hand, letting her physical touch transmit the feelings of her heart.
The truth was that she had also known just how much effort Li Luo had put in these years.
The bright side was that his hard work was about to finally bear fruit.
The two gave each other a smile as their figures followed along with the main body. They pa.s.sed through the barrier sealing the area and completely entered the Treasure Domain for the first time. Not far behind, the rogue cultivators and other powers began to pour into the area as well.
The once dead silent Treasure Domain had now come to life.
In just the short span of a few moments, everyone who had been waiting outside had taken the opportunity to enter. That said, from time to time, numerous figures were still arriving from a distance, entering in a hurry.
The World End"s River Treasure Domain was like the giant mouth of an abyss, quietly swallowing up all who chose to enter.
On top of a mountain, the void shook and a group of figures stepped out.
These figures were all faceless and their bodies emanated a strange and unpredictable sort of energy.
It was the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute"s Faceless Other King.
He raised his blank face and stared at the seemingly ordinary golden talisman in the distance as he lightly spoke to himself. "It seems that after so many years, they are still able to rely on that c.r.a.ppy talisman to seal off the World End"s Sea, making it impossible for Kings to enter. It does look like the Heavenly Emperors do have powers beyond my imagination. That said, it"s about time isn"t it?" "The four Heavenly Emperors are probably too busy taking care of themselves and don"t have the energy to pay attention to this location. The plan the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute has come up with over countless years can finally take place."
The crux of this plan was to destroy the Heavenly Emperor talisman. However this object could not be touched at all from the outside. Even if he took action personally, it would simply be too difficult to destroy it. However it also had a grave weakness whereby it was much easier for a King to destroy it from the inside.
Yet the talisman itself suppressed King stage existences, preventing them from entering in the first place!
Thus the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute had always been planning to rear a King stage Other or cultivator within the Treasure Domain and borrow its strength to destroy the talisman. Only then could their other plans come to life.
They had conspired in the dark for numerous years and they were now on the cusp of accomplishing it.
The Faceless Other King turned his head towards the direction of Abyssal City and a smirk seemed to form on his featureless visage. "Qin Jiujie, even if you didn"t choose to invite me on your own initiative... I"d still have to come to the World End"s River Region. After all, our plans run much deeper than you"d ever imagine. However, you have brought me quite a bit of joyful surprise. Is that gray haired youth within the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li"s squad the Genesis Seed containing Li Luo? He possesses the potential to have a 100,000 feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram. This sort of talent isn"t common at all. It seems that the Genesis Seed has not awakened and is still in a perfect embryonic form. If I am able to bring this back, this contribution should allow me to rise within the Thirteen Other Kings. So be it Qin Jiujie, as compensation, i"ll help you get rid of Li Jingzhe. After all, wanting to touch Li Luo would also mean that this stumbling block will also have to be kicked aside. He is also the biggest obstacle to our plan this time. However Qin Jiujie, it looks like your view is a little short sighted. Our Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute has plotted within the World End"s River Region for so many years and it"s not only just to deal with a single Li Jingzhe."
After which the Faceless Other King seemed to remain in thought for a moment before forming a handseal with a single hand. A deep white flame began to rise from its fingertips. It gave off a gloomy and cold feel and gradually transformed into a eyeball sized whirlpool of flames. In the depths of the whirlpool, the s.p.a.ce within it seemed to constantly warp, piercing through endless layers of darkness, seemingly searching for something.
In the end, the changing scenes within it stopped and from within the flames, a figure appeared. The figure"s robe had an eyeball on it which continued to turn and inspect its surroundings.
"Hmm?" The figure who seemed to have been engrossed in something suddenly raised its head as he glared at the deep white flaming whirlpool with a frown. "Faceless, what are you looking at me for?"
"Spirit Eye, we are kicking off the plan for the World End"s River Region. Li Jingzhe has already reached the Quasi-Triple Crown stage and he"s a little tricky to deal with. Since you"re in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, would you like to cooperate?" Faceless Other King"s ephemeral voice transmitted out of the whirlpool. The Faceless Other King"s ally was none other than the Spirit Eye Other King whom Li Luo was acquainted with.
Clearly for the sake of the success of the plan, the Faceless Other King was planning to find other strong helpers as well.
