Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1770

Chapter 1767 Arrival

Lingxiang Cave Heaven.

Amidst the sea of clouds, a massive lotus pedestal, as vast as a mountain, stood silently

. Vast, surging waves of pure energy continuously emanated, stirring up countless earth-shattering phenomena within the sea of clouds. Yan Changsheng and Su Ying soared in mid-air, their gaze fixed on the center of the “Withered and Flourishing Heart Lotus,” where two young figures sat facing each other. They

were Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e.

Like black holes, they continuously devoured the energy contained within the “Withered and Flourishing Heart Lotus.

” The “Withered and Flourishing Heart Lotus” was truly a worldly treasure, imbued with the power of a divine fruit. With its aid, Jiang Qing’e had now reached the unparalleled ninth rank, and the energy emanating from Li Luo’s body grew increasingly vast and powerful.

Yan Changsheng, Su Ying’s gaze lingered on Jiang Qing’e’s slender figure, a slightly peculiar expression in her eyes. Since reaching the Unparalleled Ninth Rank, an unimaginable sacred aura emanated from Jiang Qing’e’s body.

Under this sacred aura, even the Withered and Flourishing Heart Lotus, imbued with the power of the Divine Fruit, seemed to dim.

“Do you feel it? Her luminous nature is gradually awakening. I never expected to see the Sect Master’s ‘pseudo-Tenth Rank luminous nature’ appear in the world again after such a long time.” Yan Changsheng’s deep, weathered eyes shone with nostalgia. “I

never thought a nature could evolve to such a degree, possessing its own intelligence, unmistakable like a living being. The Tenth Rank is truly incredible and beyond comprehension.” Su Ying sighed in awe. She and Yan Changsheng were both considered the world’s most powerful, yet even at this level, facing the Sect Master’s immense power, they still felt like a mayfly observing the sky.

She was truly the first of all time.

Only such a being could interrupt the Dark World’s evolutionary path during its peak glory and power, forcing it into a long period of dormancy.

Had it not been for the uncanny and terrifying nature of the “Source of All Evil,” the long period of chaos would have been brought to an end by the Sect Master long ago.

“I heard that Yin Qingkun still lives in the world, even founding the Guiyi Society, which has strong ties to the Dark World. The Sect Master’s Nirvana Phase, which also reached the “Pseudo-Tenth Stage,” is also among them. What’s going on?” Su Ying suddenly asked.

Yan Changsheng frowned slightly and said, “When the sect master stripped away the aspects, the Nirvana aspect and the Light aspect were the most powerful, so they were placed last. And when you and I left with the ‘Withering and Flourishing aspect’, judging from the sect master’s behavior, the ‘Nirvana aspect’ was most likely contaminated by the source of all evil. The sect master suppressed them with the Light aspect at that time, but now it seems that a major change must have occurred when the sect master finally stripped away Nirvana and Light.”

“And this major change also led to the complete destruction of the Wuxiang Holy Sect, which disappeared in the long river of time.”

Yan Changsheng’s expression was complicated. Even now, he found it hard to believe that the Wuxiang Holy Sect, which stood at the top of an era and was so powerful that it was unimaginable, would collapse and disappear overnight.

He took a deep breath, his expression suddenly becoming stern and deep. “But no matter what, Yin Qingkun’s connection with the dark world has gone too far. He’s betrayed the Wuxiang Holy Sect’s ironclad rules. If my wife and I can finally leave Lingxiang Cave Heaven, we must uphold the Sect Master’s will and punish this traitor.”

Su Ying hesitated, then nodded gently. She and Yan Changsheng were husband and wife, so she naturally knew each other’s temperament. Back in the Wuxiang Holy Sect, Yan Changsheng was the one who oversaw the sect’s criminal law, overseeing the elders and high-ranking officials, and was a formidable figure.

Yin Qingkun’s connections with dark-world aliens were Yan Changsheng’s greatest taboo, and if caught, he would show no mercy.

“Let’s wait until we can truly leave Lingxiang Cave Heaven before we speak. I’ve noticed that Li Luo’s progress in comprehending the ‘Withering and Flourishing Phase’ has been extremely slow over the past year. Even now, there’s no sign of the Withering and Flourishing Phase emerging,” Su Ying said, changing the subject.

Yan Changsheng fell silent upon hearing this. They had spent the past year observing Li Luo’s progress in comprehending the “Withering and Flourishing Phase.” However, while his strength had gradually increased from absorbing the divine energy of the “Withering and Flourishing Heart Lotus,” the new “Withering and Flourishing Phase” had yet to materialize.

Without the power of the “Withering and Flourishing Phase,” the moment they both stepped out of the Spiritual Phase Cave Heaven, they would be reduced to dust by the repercussions of time.

“It seems the birth of a new “Withering and Flourishing Phase” is more difficult than we imagined. After all, this “Withering and Flourishing Heart Lotus” isn’t truly a “Withering and Flourishing Phase,” Yan Changsheng said.

Simply absorbing the energy of this “Withering and Flourishing Heart Lotus” would be a simple matter, but simultaneously creating a new “Withering and Flourishing Phase” would be a far more challenging task.

If Li Luo couldn’t comprehend the “Withering and Flourishing Phase” before the energy of the “Withering and Flourishing Heart Lotus” was completely depleted, then all hope for Yan Changsheng and Su Ying would be lost.

“Everything can only be left to fate.”

Su Ying was open-minded. After all, they had survived for too long and were already tired. If they were not thinking about the upcoming Guiyi Battle and wanted to make one last effort to protect Shenzhou, perhaps there would be no need to worry so much.

Yan Changsheng nodded slowly. It could only be like this.

With this thought, the figures of the two gradually faded and dissipated in the sea of clouds.

Winter

passed and spring came, flowers bloomed and fell, and before they knew it, another year had passed.

The world’s geniuses continued to emerge like a swarm of carp crossing the river.

What a magnificent scene of a prosperous cultivation era.

Qi Huang, Wang Xuanjin and others would enter the Lingxiang Cave Heaven every once in a while, but what made them a little regretful was that although Li Luo’s strength was gradually rising, there was still no sign of the birth of the Withering and Flourishing Phase.

As time passed, the energy of the Withered and Flourishing Heart Lotus began to show signs of weakening.

The hope in Qi Huang and the others’ eyes gradually dimmed after repeated failures, and their hearts grew heavy. Without the “Withered and Flourishing Phase,” their Ten Divine Realms would lose Yan Changsheng and Su Ying, two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings.

This loss was simply suffocating.

After all, considering the current strength of the Ten Divine Realms, there are only three Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings.

Compared to the Dark World, this is a far cry.

Yan Changsheng and Su Ying gradually gave up hope. Perhaps it was fate, after all, they didn’t belong to this era.

The only slight solace for Qi Huang and the others was that Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e had both reached the peak of the Unparalleled Ninth Rank. With their foundation, if they could truly take this step and ascend to Heavenly King, their strength would far surpass that of ordinary Heavenly Kings.

At the very least, they would forge three levels of status!

Most newly promoted Heavenly Kings can only cultivate one level of status. Only as their foundation strengthens can they cultivate the second, third, and even fourth levels.

Once they possess the fourth level of status, they can nurture divine fruits and enter the highest realm of divine fruits.

The path of the unparalleled is inherently the best path in the world, and therefore the starting point for entering the Heavenly King realm is far higher than that of ordinary Heavenly Kings.

Therefore, if Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e can reach the Heavenly King realm, they can also make the top combat forces of the ten divine states even stronger.

…

In the days that followed, Qi Huang and others’ visits to Lingxiang Cave Heaven gradually became less frequent. After all, the countdown to the ten years of destiny had begun, and all the powerful were cultivating desperately, hoping to gain more favor from destiny when the moment of reckoning arrived, and thus break through their own shackles.

However, after Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e reached the peak of the Unparalleled Ninth Rank, their realm began to stagnate. Clearly, even with their incredible foundation, this final step was too difficult to achieve overnight.

Yet, they remained unfazed, cultivating with deep concentration, refining and absorbing the dwindling energy of the “Withered and Flourishing Heart Lotus.”

Now, only half a year remained until the end of the Ten Years of Heavenly Fortune.

To countless beings across Divine Continent, these final six months seemed especially torturous.

Time passed at a much slower pace.

Yet, the cultivation of countless powerful individuals became increasingly frantic.

Everyone knew that these six months were the final period for their strength to grow.

Once the Ten Years of Heavenly Fortune ended, the ten great Divine Continents would enter a period of overdraft. It might be difficult for any King-level experts to emerge in Divine Continent for hundreds of years.

However, this was of little consequence. If they lost the Battle of Reunification, Divine Continent would have no future.

Time passed day by day.

The countdown, like a clock, echoed in the hearts of countless beings, making them feel inexplicably suffocated.

Five months…

Three months…

One month…

Ten days…

Five days…

One day…

Until that moment, the real moment arrived.
