Chapter 1004: The Cave Abode
"Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art."
Li Luo contemplated the special Pearl Condensation Art that had surfaced in his mind. Like its name suggested, it was a really complicated art created for someone with three resonant palaces and six resonances. Despite its difficulty, it was able to condense Heavenly Pearls with utmost efficiency.
Although Li Luo had not come into contact with any other Pearl Condensation Arts, he could still tell just how advanced and complex the art before him was.
In terms of grade, he felt that perhaps none of the ones in the sea of Pearl Condensation Arts back in the Dragon's Fang Lineage would be comparable to this.
However, what was most strange about it all... was that this art seemed to have been custom made for him. It seemed like too much of a coincidence here. Could it be that the Heavenly Dipper Wheel had tailored a custom art exclusively for him? Or was this something that already existed beforehand? It had dropped out of the wheel like all the rest despite being a perfect match for someone unique like him.
.
However, if it already existed beforehand, did it mean that someone back in the ancient Sacred Void Resonance Sect had three resonant palaces and six resonances just like him?
Li Luo pondered all of this. The Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art could give one acquired resonances. In other words, there were people who had blank palaces in the past, just like him. It was not at all inconceivable that someone from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect possessed similar circumstances.
Li Luo was submerged deep in his thoughts for but a moment before he quickly snapped out of his trance. This was not the time to be thinking about all this. Regardless, it was good news that he had found this Pearl Condensation Art. It would greatly speed up his progress through the Heavenly Pearl Tier.
At this moment, he felt countless gazes shooting through him like sharp knives. These piercing gazes seemed to be trying to look through him.
Clearly, the beam of light earlier that was a thousand feet tall had stunned everyone completely.
The Spiritual Resonance Cave had opened multiple times in the past. However, there had been no news of anyone who had gotten a Pearl Condensation Art that reached such heights. This was a Pearl Condensation Art that was incredibly rare even amongst the Heavenly Emperor powers. Yet Li Luo had managed to get ahold of one such art right before their eyes. Envious looks continued to pepper him.
Over at the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, Zhao Jingyu shouted angrily as he watched with red eyes, "What a bastard. Why is he always so lucky?!"
It was enough that he had gotten lucky back at the Golden Dew Platform. This time, he had easily obtained a marvelous Pearl Condensation Art from the Heavenly Dipper Wheel. One could not help but wonder if the Spiritual Resonance Cave existed just for him. Zhao Shenjiang frowned and his face darkened too. Before he entered the Spiritual Resonance Cave, he didn’t consider Li Luo a threat at all. He was not even concerned about someone like Li Qingfeng, so why would he ever pay attention to some country bumpkin from an outer divine continent?
Originally, he was exceptionally confident that he could smash the elites from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Everyone from the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent could see for themselves that they, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, were the stronger ones in this generation.
However, Li Luo's appearance had shattered his dreams.
During the battle back at the Golden Dew Platform, it was clear that Li Luo was not at all weaker than him. After his breakthrough, even the unruly Zhao Shenjiang had to admit that the power balance between the two had tilted despite his one pearl advantage.
He could only imagine how quickly the advanced Pearl Condensation Art that Li Luo had just obtained would allow him to fly through the Heavenly Pearl Tier and catch up.
When that time came, the gap between the two would widen once again.
As he thought about this, a murderous intent lit up deep within his eyes. He turned towards Zhao Yan and said solemnly, "Brother Zhao Yan, Li Luo's potential is unlimited. He'll definitely be a threat to us in the future."
Zhao Yan looked at him and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Find a chance to kill him before we leave the Spiritual Resonance Cave, of course," Zhao Shenjiang replied coldly.
Zhao Yan was silent for a moment. "The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li is pretty strong. Li Lingjing is already a nine-pearl. She's not any weaker than me. Besides, there's still Li Wuyuan..."
"That's why we need to work with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing. Qin Lian and Li Luo's parents have deep enmity between them. I believe she has tasked Qin Yi to take care of Li Luo here," Zhao Shenjiang said.
"Work with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing..." Zhao Yan's eyes flickered. His heart trembled as he looked over at the charming figure not too far away.
That was none other than Qin Yi.
At this moment, Qin Yi was silently watching Li Luo as well. She thought that Li Luo would return empty-handed for a moment. But he had managed to obtain an extraordinary Pearl Condensation Art in the end.
"Could it be a Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art that is fully compatible with Li Luo?" Even Qin Yi could not help but exclaim in surprise. This was such something so unique that she had not even heard of it in the vast library which she frequented back in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing.
"Li Luo is really lucky. Or should I say, his luck in the Spiritual Resonance Cave seems to have been exceptionally good." Qin Yi's eyes wavered a little.
“Besides, he powered up significantly since we parted ways back at the gilded hall. This should be due to the Golden Dew Platform. I heard that he even defeated Zhao Shenjiang earlier? That's a truly shocking accomplishment."
Qin Yi sighed a little in her heart. Li Luo's talent was immeasurable. One had to remember that he had spent a significant amount of his childhood in an outer divine continent. Although she would not underestimate people just because they were from an outer divine continent, the resources available were ultimately much worse than what the inner divine continent had access to. This would ultimately result in a huge difference in cultivation speed even for those with the same amount of talent. Yet Li Luo, who had spent many years away, had managed to catch up with all the elites from his generation in just the short span of a single year. Such a talent was something that she definitely could not belittle.
If possible, Qin Yi would not want to make an enemy of Li Luo. However, their family's history was complicated, so they were fated to clash no matter what. Her strong-willed mother would never allow her to get any closer to Li Luo, let alone become friends with him.
Qin Yi lowered her eyes.
On the other hand, Li Luo was not bothered by the gazes of jealousy coming from all directions. He left the platform with Li Fengyi and the rest and returned to the meeting point for the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Li Wuyuan, Li Hongli, and the rest continued to stare at him.
They had not expected Li Luo to cause such a huge commotion just by going for a simple Pearl Condensation Art.
Feeling the eyes of greed from all directions, Li Wuyuan's face twitched a little. Although they were not afraid of others just because of this, they truly felt a sense of helplessness after getting dragged into such a situation.
"Brother Wuyuan, don't worry. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li is not to be trifled with. If any of them come after us, we'll let them have a taste of the combined iron fist of our five lineages," Li Luo said to him after sensing his feelings.
Li Wuyuan's mouth curled up into a bitter smile. “This brat has waited until now to mention that we are all from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li? Why didn't he distribute any Spirit Resonance Golden Dew to us earlier, then?!”
In the end, Li Wuyuan said with a muffled voice, "Let's go." He led them away as others stared intently at their backs. It was best for them to leave the area as soon as possible.
Li Luo grinned happily as he nodded. The group left the area and made their way into the deeper parts of the Spiritual Resonance Palace.
……
As Li Luo and the rest left for the depths, the young mistress known as Qing and the Golden Dragon Bank's group had gotten through multiple defensive wards on the other side of the palace. They had paused right before a cave abode.
The gates to this cave were tightly shut, and it was covered in faintly glowing energy runes. There were terrifying energy waves pulsing from it that would leave anyone stunned.
At the same time, anyone could tell that the cave was filled with an extreme sort of frost and cold. It was an unexplainable chill that left even their souls shivering.
As Young Mistress Qing looked at this, her eyes that previously belied an icy lake fluttered a little. However, she did not notice that the man named Mu Yao was also staring at the cave. A strange look flashed across his eyes.
