Absolute Resonance Chapter 0790 – Vestiges of Spirituality

Chapter 0790 – Vestiges of Spirituality

As time ticked by, it was soon three days before the selection battle for the Green Nether Banner Leader. 

During this time, the battle was a hot topic within the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Apart from the members of the four banners, the Hall Masters and various elders were also talking about it. 

Ordinarily speaking, the selection battle for the Banner Leader was only a matter among the younger generation and the elders were not interested in it. However, Li Luo had a special background.

His father, Li Taixuan, was a legend known throughout the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Although he had left the Dragon's Fang Lineage over 20 years ago, the elders remained deeply impressed by his strength and talent. In fact, some even said that he would probably be rank two in the Heavenly Origin Records of the Duke's Index if he was still around.

As for why he wouldn't be rank one, it was because Tan Tailan would still be around if Li Taixuan had not left the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent...

Li Luo was the son of the two of them.

Coupled with the fact that he was the grandson of Li Jingzhe, it was hard for anyone to ignore his ill.u.s.trious background.

This was not just in the Dragon's Fang Lineage, but across the other four lineages as well. Many elders could still clearly recall how they were eclipsed by the outstanding Li Taixuan twenty years ago. Although he had not returned, his son had come back, and they were all eagerly waiting to see what the son of Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan would show.

Like father, like son? Or were his victories just a fluke so far? Needless to say, there were also those who had grudges with Li Taixuan and were just waiting for Li Luo to suffer a setback.

Regardless of their reasons, this was probably the most talked about selection battle for a Banner Leader to date. 

…..

While everyone was chattering about the upcoming fight, Li Luo, the heart of the conversation, was not bothered by it at all. He had been fully focused on cultivation. 

"Third resonance, Thunder Dragon resonant palace, upgrade complete."

In the cultivation chamber, Li Luo opened his eyes, which were currently glowing. The pulses of resonant power emanating from his body had clearly grown stronger again.

This was because his third resonant palace, the Thunder Dragon resonant palace, had finished upgrading and entered the Greater Fiend Palace Tier.

As a result, his Thunder Dragon resonant power had strengthened as well.

All three of his resonant palaces had entered the Greater Fiend Palace Tier, and after three rounds of strengthening, he could say that his resonant power was at the top amongst those at his tier now. 

There was likely no Greater Fiend Palace cultivator with more resonant power than him in the world right now.

Even if it was a true ninth-grade resonant user, Li Luo was unafraid at all!

"Under normal circ.u.mstances, my resonant power should be comparable to that of an ordinary Silver Fiend," Li Luo said with satisfaction in his eyes. Of course, the Fiend Body Tier had an edge over the Fiend Palace Tier in terms of physical body too. However, Li Luo possessed the Thunderpeal Avatar, so he would not necessarily be weaker than them in this aspect. 

In other words, if he had to compete with Mu Bi again, he would not even have to use his Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner to secure victory under the same conditions now.

It was evidently a huge improvement after his two months of hard work in the Dragon's Fang Lineage. 

And that was not all.

When Li Luo opened his palm, two streams of resonant power flowed out from his body and integrated together perfectly, fusing into a sphere of dual resonance power.

The dual resonance power hovered in his palm in a lively manner. 

When Li Luo focused on this dual resonance power, he could sense hidden traces of mysterious light strands that were hardly detectable. 

These light traces swam around in the dual resonance sphere like little fish. 

They were known as the Vestiges of Spirituality.

It was something that originated from reaching the realm of Sentience with his dual resonance power.

Simply put, this was the result of two resonant powers synergizing completely.

Not only would the Vestiges of Spirituality enhance one's dual resonant power, they would also swallow up and wear down the opponent's resonant power in a fight. 

Moreover, they could replenish their energy with energy from their surroundings to extend their lifespan.

One would have to expend a considerably larger amount of resonant power to deplete and counter an attack containing Vestiges of Spirituality.

In fact, one could even say that achieving Sentience with dual resonances was the first step in understanding what a Duke's full power would be like. 

Despite spending a long time cultivating his dual resonances, it was only by chance that he had breached the next realm during his battle with Lu Qingmei a few days ago. Followed by his dedicated studying of this flash of enlightenment, he had finally managed to cultivate the Vestiges of Spirituality for the first time and truly entered the third realm of dual resonance power. 

Additionally, he had three resonant palaces in his body that had entered the Greater Fiend Palace Tier and contained nearly eight thousand strands of abstruse fiend light. 

He was not any weaker than an ordinary Silver Fiend.

Coupled with his mastery of the third realm of dual resonances, he was confident that there was nothing to be afraid of even when faced against a Gold Fiend like Zhong Ling. "It's a pity that my waterlight resonance tempering still requires a few more days to reach the lower eighth-grade. I will not make it in time for the selection battle for Banner Leader," Li Luo whispered to himself with a tinge of regret. Since his arrival at the Dragon's Fang Lineage two months ago, he had tempered and refined his seventh-grade waterlight resonance repeatedly using the spirit liquids and purifying lights available here. It had already shown signs of advancing and would need just a little bit more time. If he could upgrade his waterlight resonance before the selection battle, his victory would be a.s.sured. 

It did not matter. He would not need to show all his cards against an opponent like Zhong Ling. 

Li Luo knew that everyone was paying attention to the upcoming battle because it would be his first solo fight since he arrived at the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Everyone would like to see the true strength of the son of Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan for themselves.

And among them, there would be people with bad intentions. Considering how large the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li was and how Li Taixuan had overshadowed many during his heyday, there was bound to be people that were disgruntled over it.

At this point, Li Luo dispersed the dual resonances on his palm and shut his eyes to condense the Vestiges of Spirituality.

No matter how people thought of it, this was his first fight upon arriving in the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Therefore, he would have to win it beautifully.

For his own future here, as well as his father's reputation.

……

Green Nether Peak, in a courtyard.

Zhong Yus.h.i.+ was fis.h.i.+ng in a pavilion in the middle of the lake. As he watched the fishes s.n.a.t.c.hing for food, he glanced over to Zhong Ling on his side and said calmly, "The selection battle for the Banner Leader has attracted a lot of attention, so you need to perform well."

Zhong Ling nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Second Uncle. I will do my best to win the position of Banner Leader."

Zhong Yus.h.i.+ continued, "Don't underestimate the enemy. Although Li Luo has wasted his time in the outer divine continent, his talent is truly extraordinary. You can tell from his progress during the Fiendish Devil Cave expedition. Although our Lineage Chief favors him a lot, he is still someone who respects the rules. If Li Luo does not win them over with his skills during the fight, he will not go against the wishes of the crowd and blindly support Li Luo. However, Li Luo definitely has the potential. If he becomes the Banner Leader, coupled with the a.s.sistance from the Lineage Chief, I am afraid he will be able to take advantage of the momentum to rise up. Perhaps that is what he has been planning for."

Looking seriously at Zhong Ling, he continued slowly, "As such, the selection battle is of critical importance to Li Luo. If he succeeds, he will be able to rise up as a formidable force. If he loses, he will have no choice but to continue to lie down quietly. He has already wasted a lot of time in the outer divine continent, and if he stays dormant any longer, it will only cause him to drift farther and farther away from the top compared to his peers. So, you must not let him rise up! If you can keep him down, I will have no problem securing the position of Green Nether Hall Master on my side."

When Zhong Ling heard him finish his sentence, a stern look appeared in his eyes and he nodded slowly.

"Understood, Second Uncle. Li Luo is indeed gifted, but his parents gave birth to him in the outer divine continent. I may not be able to match up to him in the future, but for now, I will show him who the boss is!" Zhong Ling replied with utter conviction.
