Absolute Resonance Chapter 1298: Quasi Ninth-grade

Both Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng were surprised to see this. The violet golden dragon manifestation above Li Luo's head continued to grow bigger until it filled up the entire Grand Hall.

However, that wasn't the thing that surprised Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng. They could faintly sense a special energy emitting from this dragon manifestation. The two of them had seen a lot and they recognised this special energy immediately.

This was the energy of a ninth-grade.

"Is that..."

Li Qingpeng sucked in a deep breath. The shock couldn't be contained within his voice.

"A quasi ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance?!"

The gigantic violet golden dragon hovered in the air for a while before it turned into violet golden streams of light that were slowly absorbed back into Li Luo's body.

At the same time, his enlarged body rapidly shrank in size. He finally turned back to normal after a few moments.

However, his body was clearly different from the past. On the surface of his skin, there was a faint violet golden glow. If he clenched his five fingers tightly, an explosive power would surge up in his muscles with a thunderous crack.

There was an invisible pressure emanating from his body.

Li Luo opened his eyes and a violet golden light shot out from it. After a while, it gradually subsided and sank back into the depths of his pupils.

He inspected the Thunder Dragon resonance in his body immediately. No, it should be called the Heavenly Thunder Dragon resonance now!

"Quasi ninth-grade, Heavenly Dragon resonance!"

Li Luo had expected this result but he was still elated. He had endured so much over the past two months of cultivation. Finally, all his hard work had paid off. Li Luo understood that his Heavenly Dragon resonance had reached the quasi ninth-grade this time all thanks to the help of the mysterious and cheat-like Auric Halo. Without it, he would have been unable to bridge the gap between the eighth-grade and ninth-grade. Just how much liquids and lights did he save?

All these while, he had never known the mysterious Auric Halo had an ability either. Wouldn't this mean that he could use it to help him increase his other resonance grades next time too?

Li Luo focused his mind on the Auric Halo in his body once again. He noticed that the Auric Halo had become much quieter. It seemed like the outburst of energy earlier had caused considerable strain on the Auric Halo.

"The energy emitted earlier was extremely pure. It also has some similarity to the liquids and lights I consumed in the past. Does this mean that all this while, remnant traces of liquids and lights that I had not absorbed were stored in the Auric Halo?"

Li Luo could only make this guess. The stored remnants seemed to possess an even greater effect than when they were whole.

If this was really the case, this object was much more magical than he had ever imagined.

Li Luo wanted to try if he could replicate this once again. If the Auric Halo really had such an ability, he would be able to speed up the rate he increased his resonance grade significantly.

Excitement bubbled in his heart but he knew now was not the time. His figure moved swiftly as he leapt out of the Volcano Cauldron.

As soon as he came out, he clasped his hands together and greeted Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng. "Grandfather, Eldest Uncle, thank you for guarding me on the outside."

Li Qingpeng took a closer look at Li Luo, whose body was still emitting energy undulations freely. This level of energy was nothing in his eyes but it was clearly a huge jump from what he had seen two months ago.

"It seems like your Heavenly Resonance Diagram should have increased considerably." Li Qingpeng said with a smile.

Li Luo nodded his head. "It's already reached 96,000 feet."

Over the past two months, most of his energy had been focused on refining his body and evolving his dragon resonance. However, the spiritual liquid that Li Jingzhe had prepared for him contained a lot of rare and precious ingredients. This had resulted in a huge boost for Li Luo's resonant power.

Two months ago, his Heavenly Resonance Diagram was just 90,000 feet and he had advanced yet again.

"Haha, A 96,000 feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram? This is a solid foundation you are establis.h.i.+ng for yourself. It seems like Little Luo is eyeing to reach the perfect 100,000 feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram." Li Qingpeng exclaimed with a little surprise. Back when he was in the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage, his Heavenly Resonance Diagram only reached 95,000 feet before he began his breakthrough to the Duke stage.

"Do you think everyone is as lazy as you? If you had formed a more solid foundation for yourself back then, you would have already reached the ninth-grade Duke stage today. It's all because you're too impatient to break through." Li Jingzhe scolded.

Li Qingpeng felt a little embarra.s.sed about this. The Respected Elder often liked to criticize him without warning. Back then, when he was in the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage, at that point, any further increment was extremely tough. Only a talented genius would be able to reach the perfected 100,000 feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram.

However, his personality was honest and obedient. He simply grinned and nodded his head as Li Jingzhe reprimanded him. There wasn't much that Li Jingzhe could do about it either. His eyes soon turned towards Li Luo as his stern face turned gentler. "Quasi ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance, not bad. This was beyond my expectations."

Based on his initial estimates, Li Luo wouldn't be able to make it to quasi ninth-grade no matter how pure his Heavenly Dragon blood lineage was. However, Li Luo had achieved it.

From his experience, Li Jingzhe knew that there must be some secret behind it. The gap between eighth-grade and ninth-grade was immense. It wasn't something that could be bridged so easily. However, Li Luo was his grandson after all. There was no need for him to probe him for his secrets. As long as it was something beneficial to Li Luo, it was good enough.

"Thank you for the secret art and spiritual liquid Grandpa." Li Luo thanked him earnestly.

These were his honest thoughts. Although his own Heavenly Dragon blood lineage was of utmost importance in the evolution, he could never have done it without the refinement secret art.

Moreover, the spiritual liquid for the secret art was extremely complex. The precious ingredients needed for it were beyond his imagination. If he was left to gather them by himself, it would definitely exhaust a lot of his energy and his resources.

Li Jingzhe casually waved his hands and said, "The Heavenly Dragon resonance has emerged once again. This will definitely cause a commotion in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. The other four lineage chiefs may question you about it too. However, I will help you handle them."

The Heavenly Dragon resonance was the leader of all dragon resonances. It naturally held a special significance in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Whenever it emerged, the five lineages would fight to obtain this talent. In fact, it had been recorded in their history that there was one occasion when the Heavenly Dragon resonance once appeared in a distant extended clan. The five lineages sent people over to recruit the talent and to poach them into their own lineages. Alas this compet.i.tion caused quite a bit of unhappy friction among them.

Its importance and uniqueness could not be understated.

Li Luo's Heavenly Dragon resonance was not natural. He had obtained it after birth. Under ordinary circ.u.mstances, the other lineages would definitely investigate it out of curiosity. This was unavoidable.

However, with Li Jingzhe helping him, Li Luo could avoid a lot of these troubles.

This was the perks of having a strong backing.

Li Luo quickly thanked his Grandfather once again.

"During the two months that you've been cultivating, a lot of things have happened. Calamity Mist has surfaced in the World End's River Region, which means that the Stygian Rain of Calamity is not too far away. The opening of the World End's River Treasure Domain will also be coming soon. This is one of the grandest affairs in the World End's River Region. Many elite Dukes from the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent will gather for it. Even upper grade Dukes who have been in seclusion may join in. After all, the temptation of a Foundational Spirit Treasure is irresistible for any Duke." Li Jingzhe explained.

Li Luo's eyes lit up with antic.i.p.ation as he listened. He too was eyeing a top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure. After all, that was an indispensable component in forging a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.

Unfortunately, a top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure was too precious. Many upper grade Dukes would set their eyes on it as well. One could easily tell from how many people had came for the Sovereign Pearl back then. This Sovereign Pearl was simply one of the main ingredients in crafting a top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure and yet the fighting that broke out was endless. If it was a natural top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure itself, just how much blood would have to be spilled for it?

"Oh right."

Li Qingpeng suddenly spoke out from the side. "There's another piece of good news."

"Li Hongyou has begun to prepare to break into the Duke stage."

Li Luo was delighted to hear this but he was not surprised. Li Hongyou had reached the pinnacle of the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage for quite some time. She had acc.u.mulated and solidified her foundation for more than half a year. Now, it's finally time for her to proceed onwards.

Li Hongyou had a very special resonance and once she stepped into the Duke stage, she would be able to render significantly more a.s.sistance when it came to fighting in the World End's River Treasure Domain.

When Li Luo happily returned to the Dragon's Fang Guardians training ground, he was shocked to find it empty. There were barely any people around.

He quickly grabbed onto a sentry on duty and asked him about it.
