Absolute Resonance Chapter 1001: Spiritual Resonance Palace

As Li Luo flew past the cloud wall, he could sense the s.p.a.ce around him begin to twist. When his vision cleared up, he found himself standing in a white square.

His eyes scanned the surroundings. All he could see was an indescribably tall, majestic palace in front of him, making the people standing under it appear as small as ants.

Yet he could sense danger coming from it. It was faint, but he could tell the surroundings were full of wards and runes. These wards were extremely terrifying and appeared to be totally unscathed despite being so old.

In comparison, the gilded hall that they had come across earlier was nothing.

Li Luo guessed that even Dukes would not dare to barge into this majestic palace hastily.

As he marveled at the sight of this majestic palace, many other people began to appear in the square. Li Fengyi, Li Jingtao, Li Lingjing, and the rest arrived not too far from his spot.

Everyone gathered up. From the looks of it, the cloud wall was a teleportation portal. After pa.s.sing through it, one would be transported here.

"This must be the Spiritual Resonance Palace." Li Fuling could not help but sigh as she studied the majestic palace in front of them.

"The Spiritual Resonance Palace?" Li Luo asked.

Li Fuling nodded and continued, "The Spiritual Resonance Palace can be considered the heart of the Spiritual Resonance Cave. This place is filled with fearsome defenses, and its numerous wards have never been damaged before. It is said that many of the Kings from the various powers sent their avatars in to inspect this place in the past. However, none of them were confident in deactivating the wards without completely destroying the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Many people have spent time exploring the cave over the years, but only the districts on the outside have been properly mapped. No one has dared to break into the deeper districts to date."

Li Luo nodded slightly as his eyes continued to sweep past the jade white square. More and more people were appearing in their surroundings. All of a sudden, he noticed a few familiar faces, namely Li Wuyuan, Li Qingfeng, Li Hongli, and the rest.

Li Wuyuan noticed them at the same time, and he brought the others over.

He seemed a little high-spirited at this time. It seemed like he had gained a lot on the platform. Taking a look at Li Lingjing, Li Luo, and the others, he said with a faint smile. "I thought you all would have fallen behind. I didn't expect everyone to make it here. It seems like the journey has been relatively smooth sailing without any unconquerable enemies encountered.”

Seeing this guy, Li Fengyi was a little unhappy, and she replied angrily, "We met Zhao Yan and the rest. It surely was not as easy as you say."

Startled to hear this, Li Wuyuan asked, "Didn't Zhao Yan take any action against you all?"

However, he immediately waved his hand and brushed it aside, "It doesn't matter. Since we are all here now, there is no need to be afraid of Zhao Yan and the others anymore. I made a breakthrough at the Golden Dew Platform earlier. I am now half a foot into the Heavenly Resonance Tier."

Li Luo glanced strangely at him when he heard this. It was no wonder he seemed so high-spirited. It turned out that he was halfway into the Heavenly Resonance Tier. But buddy, aren't you still half a step behind Zhao Yan? Although he had used pills and potions to aid him, he was fully at the Heavenly Resonance Tier now.

"Brother Qingfeng has reached the three-pearl tier too. He's even beginning to show signs of reaching the four-pearl tier," Li Hongli interrupted them from the side. She looked at Li Luo as if she was bragging about her own achievements.

On her side, Li Qingfeng appeared pretty calm as he looked at Li Luo and asked, "With your talent, you must have progressed quite a bit on the Golden Dew Platform as well."

Li Luo answered humbly, "I ended up falling a little short of you. I barely managed to reach the three-pearl tier."

As soon as he heard this, Li Qingfeng's face froze completely. Li Wuyuan and Li Hongli asked in surprise, "Three-pearl?"

When they entered the Spiritual Resonance Cave, Li Luo was still at the Fiend Finisher Tier. How had he skipped ahead all of a sudden?

"That's nothing. Third Brother was able to cut off one of Zhao Shenjiang’s arms even before his breakthrough. After his breakthrough, he fought Zhao Shenjiang again and was able to force him back despite his foe being a four-pearl," Li Fengyi added on with a grin.

"What? You managed to defeat Zhao Shenjiang and cut off one of his arms?!" Li Qingfeng exclaimed in disbelief. Zhao Shenjiang possessed a ninth-grade strength resonance. His strength was top tier even amongst the elites of their generation. This was an opponent that even he would avoid facing head-on. Yet Li Luo was able to confront him at the Fiend Finisher Tier and cut off one of his arms?!

"Zhao Shenjiang was a really strong opponent. I only managed to eke out a lucky victory after using up all my tricks."

At this point, Li Luo smiled and continued, "But my achievements are nothing compared to Cousin Lingjing’s. She managed to condense her ninth Heavenly Pearl. Not even Zhao Yan, who broke into the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier with the help of a Resonance Forming Pill, was able to get an edge over her in a fight."

When they heard about this, the members of the Dragon Blood, Dragon Bone, and Dragon Horn Lineages fell silent as they stared at Li Lingjing in surprise.

Even Li Wuyuan's face trembled as he asked with a dry mouth, "You managed to enter the nine-pearl tier?!"

Nine Heavenly Pearls was considered the pinnacle, and reaching it required a shocking amount of acc.u.mulated foundation and potential. Of course, Li Wuyuan harbored ambitions to reach it as well during his previous breakthrough. However, he had fallen short by a little bit just like Zhao Yan and the rest. He could only choose to push for the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier in the end.

In the past, Li Wuyuan could have said that Li Lingjing was someone with pointless ambition who had failed to get into the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies. Without a doubt, he looked down on her a little. Now he had to admit that her potential and foundation were extraordinary. In fact, she was leagues above him.

After all, there were few nine-pearls even in the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies.

Li Lingjing held onto her staff and laughed lightly. "It's all thanks to this weapon, the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff, which was a gift from my cousin Li Luo. This is the only reason I was only able to fight off Zhao Yan."

When the others heard her, their eyes turned towards the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff. There were three mythical violet marks on it, which made their eyes twitch a little.

"A triple violet-eye treasured artifact. Dragon's Head Li Luo is certainly generous," one of the guys muttered enviously.

Li Luo could not help but stare at Li Lingjing a little. “Must she bring this up every time she gets an opportunity to? She must be doing it on purpose.” However, Li Lingjing simply smiled happily, acting like she did not notice.

Li Wuyuan was silent for a while before he forced a smile and responded, "Congratulations to you all, then."

Evidently, his high spirits and haughty att.i.tude from before had died off. He originally planned to a.s.sert his edge over the Dragon's Fang Lineage with his huge power-up and make use of this chance to regain command of the whole detachment. However, he did not expect the Dragon's Fang Lineage to have obtained such remarkable achievements. Although Li Lingjing was not yet at the Heavenly Resonance Tier, the significance of the nine-pearl tier could be said to be even greater.

Li Hongli's charming face darkened upon hearing their conversation. Her lively mouth had stopped and the gloating look in her eyes had faded. On the side, the people from the Dragon's Bone Lineage and the Dragon's Horn Lineage were looking a little perplexed. How had the strength of the Dragon's Fang Lineage risen to the point that they nearly overshadowed the Dragon's Blood Lineage? Was this the comeback of the Dragon's Fang Lineage?!

Li Luo smiled a little and said, "Brother Wuyuan, let's work together since everyone has gathered again. This place is full of dangers, and the people from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao are lurking in the shadows. If we split up again, it'll be even more perilous for all of us."

Indeed, the strength of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao was not to be underestimated. Zhao Yan had reached the Heavenly Resonance Tier and posed a significant threat. Most importantly, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing was around here somewhere as well. Especially Qin Yi. If they worked together with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, it would be terrible news for the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. As such, it was best for Li Luo to grab onto Li Wuyuan and the rest as there was strength in numbers.

Blood was also thicker than water. Even if they were to take a beating, they should endure it as a whole. Li Wuyuan nodded vaguely. This was also his initial plan. After all, the people from the other bloodlines were also starting to group up themselves.

However, he was finding it more and more challenging to lead the teams now that the Dragon's Fang Lineage was getting stronger and stronger. His authority had undoubtedly weakened, and they were in a position to object to his commands now.

Nonetheless, Li Luo was not bothered by Li Wuyuan's feelings. He just needed more people to s.h.i.+eld him from the mult.i.tude of attacks he would inevitably attract. At this moment, his eyes scanned the surroundings yet again, and he raised his head to look over to the other corner of the square.

Amidst the noise and commotion, he saw a girl with a veiled face surrounded by a group of people. She looked over with a pair of bright and cold eyes from a distance.

The girl's skin appeared to be whiter than snow. She was wearing an indigo dress full of golden silk patterns embroidered on the edge. With her slender figure outlined by the simple yet gorgeous dress, many people had their hearts stolen on sight.

Li Luo's heart skipped a beat when he met her gaze. There was an indescribable familiarity to her.
