Absolute Resonance

Inside the cultivation chamber, everyone's gazes transformed after they heard Li Luo's words. Their eyes were now filled with fervor and surprise. This object could actually bolster the effects of Celestial Mirror Sand? Everyone was well aware of the mysteries surrounding the Celestial Mirror Sand. It was something unique to the Celestial Mirror Pagoda and was considered to be one of the top cultivation resources in the world. On top of that, it had the ability to allow one to break through more easily and was something Dukes greatly desired. Furthermore, the first time Celestial Mirror Sand was used to break through a stage, it could even replace the need for a Foundational Spirit Treasure! It was for this reason that Celestial Mirror Sand could also be found in large auctions in the outside world. Everytime it appeared, it would attract fierce competition during its bidding process, demonstrating how rare and desirable it was.

Meanwhile, Li Luo's ancient lamp was capable of increasing the effect of Celestial Mirror Sand? Just how miraculous was it? Looking at the surprised glances of the group, Li Luo smiled. "Everyone, I will now put all the Celestial Mirror Sand I've collected into the ancient lamp. When the golden smoke rises, we can then absorb it and refine it. How much we will get out of it will depend on our abilities."

Chi Chan hesitated for a moment before asking, "If we join in, won't we affect your and Qing'e's breakthroughs?"

She knew that Li Luo was giving them a tremendous opportunity yet again. However, they had already taken advantage of him aplenty throughout this trip and thus, if their presence would adversely affect Li Luo's cultivation, it would be inappropriate for them to be here.

Mi Er and Cao Sheng nodded in agreement. Although they were eager for this opportunity, they also understood that it was not for them as the only reason they were given such privileged treatment was because of Chi Chan. After all, Li Luo was repaying her for the grace shown by the Astral Sage College during their time of need.

Li Luo smiled. "There's no need to worry, Mentor Chi Chan. With so much Celestial Mirror Sand here, even Sister Qing'e and I won't be able to use it all up. Furthermore, once I break through, the Celestial Mirror Sand's effect will drastically decrease."

Chi Chan nodded upon hearing his words and no longer rejected his good intentions.

"Everyone, prepare to start." Li Luo didn't beat around the bush, directly finding a seat next to the stone platform where the ancient lamp was placed. He then sat cross-legged next to Jiang Qing'e while the others scattered around the room. Finally, he swiped at the pocket sphere on his wrist and tens of grains of Celestial Mirror Sand resembling stars shot out, floating in the air within the cultivation chamber, illuminating it like the sun.

The worldly natural energy within the chamber began to condense into a mist in the Celestial Mirror Sand's presence.

Li Luo then flicked his finger, and all of the Celestial Mirror Sand flew into the ancient lamp like a flock of birds.

As the grains of sand entered the lamp, the undulations emitted by the ancient lamp rose in intensity. Then a golden spark appeared and expanded rapidly.

A moment later, after the last grain of Celestial Mirror Sand entered the lamp, a mysterious ball of golden flame could be seen burning within the lamp.@@novelbin@@

It burned fiercely and was countless times stronger than what Li Luo had seen beforehand.

Li Luo's feverish gaze was focused on the ball of fire. It seemed the large amount of Celestial Mirror Sand was capable of nourishing a truly exuberant flame.

Furthermore, the golden flame was simply too bright to look at for long, and Li Luo vaguely felt as though he could make out an imperceptible figure within.

A figure that was sitting cross-legged. When he wanted to observe the figure more closely, the flame fluctuated slightly and the figure vanished, as though it had all been an illusion. Li Luo felt a little confused, but it was at this moment that dense, golden smoke drifted out of the lamp.

The golden smoke that appeared this time was incredibly thick and wherever it flowed, the air looked like rippling water. At the same time, an inexplicable sacred hymn sounded out, causing everyone's state of mind to turn clear and washing away all their distracting thoughts, allowing them to gain an unprecedented connection with the world around them.

The golden smoke then gradually drifted outwards.

Li Luo's hands formed a seal and his four resonant palaces began to roar. At the same time, his Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds emerged above his head and six kinds of resonant power flowed around them. In the end, he roused the Absolute Resonance Halo within him and activated the Absolute Resonance Bergfried Forging Art. ṙΆ𝐍ô𝖇ƐS̩

As the art circulated, the golden smoke was also pulled along, flowing like a tide into the Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds.

The Bergfrieds then began to shine with brilliant light, subtly transforming under its effects.

When Li Luo took action, the rest did so as well, summoning their Duke Bergfrieds and activating their Bergfried Forging Arts to absorb the golden smoke.

However, the one who absorbed the golden smoke the quickest was none other than Jiang Qing'e. Her three glazed and pristine Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds shone like suns as she sat cross-legged. Her red lips were pursed and her deep, golden eyes were closed at this moment, making her look less aggressive and a bit more friendly.

The terrifying suction force coming from her Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds was like a black hole, ceaselessly absorbing the golden smoke.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's absorption speed was so startling that they almost took up half of the golden smoke.

Though there was one more bottomless pit at work. It was Lu Qing'er.

The single Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried above her looked as though it was made of ice, radiating a chilly coolness. Enigmatic, icy, blue runic patterns had emerged on her smooth skin, gathering in the middle of her eyebrows and condensing into a spiritual pearl that contained endless frost. The icy spiritual pearl slowly turned, and the faint aura of frost source origin could be sensed from it. Even the space near her began to show signs of freezing. The icy spiritual pearl released a terrifying suction force that absorbed the golden smoke in droves.

The three of them had quickly demonstrated their exceptional abilities to absorb the golden smoke. The rest could only avoid the three black holes, finding stray wisps of golden smoke to absorb. Even though the amount wasn't large, they were still incredibly satisfied. After all, just a small amount was already causing their resonant power to rise at an alarming pace. Their previously stagnant cultivation bases were now beginning to show signs of improvement.

This golden smoke was clearly much more effective than absorbing Celestial Mirror Sand itself. Even though the group felt great joy in their hearts, they swiftly composed themselves and focused on absorbing the golden smoke. This was a hard-to-obtain opportunity, so they had to take full advantage of it to improve themselves.

Thus, the cultivation chamber fell silent.

While the ball of golden flame within the ancient lamp continued to sway and burn, some almost indiscernible sounds came from it. That blurry figure had appeared within the flames once again.
