Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1826

Chapter 1823 The Spiritual Book and the Void

. The Spirit Book.

The last of the Six Formless Ones.

Li Luo looked at the barefoot, red-clad girl standing gracefully on the jade steps, and felt a slight sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and nostalgia). With this, all six Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings who had accompanied that sect leader in battle had finally appeared in the world.

“Hehe, isn’t it only natural to see me here? The sect leader has arranged the appearances, so it’s naturally my turn to guard this ‘Void Mist Appearance’.” The red-clad girl named Spirit Book said with a bright and lively smile.

Yan Changsheng and Su Ying also nodded slightly. In fact, they had guessed that Spirit Book would appear here before, since they had all received the mission given by the sect leader back then, so Spirit Book, as one of the Six Ones, would naturally have been arranged as well.

“You two are the most comfortable, able to keep each other company through the long years. As for me, I can only remain alone in these desolate sect ruins, reminiscing about the past.” The girl in red, her slender bare feet lightly skipping on the jade steps, the crisp sound of golden bells on her ankles making her appear as graceful as a red butterfly.

But anyone could hear the weight and sorrow hidden beneath her feigned ease.

To wander alone in these desolate sect ruins for so long—it was indeed an unimaginable loneliness.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Su Ying said softly.

Among the Six Formless Ones, Ling Shu was the youngest and most impulsive; it was truly difficult for her to guard these sect ruins for so long.

“But it doesn’t matter, we’ve finally made it through.”

Ling Shu’s graceful figure leaped down, and as a flash of red light appeared, she was already standing before Li Luo, accompanied by a fragrant breeze. She smiled and said, “Sect Leader, did you like the welcoming ceremony earlier?”

Li Luo was taken aback. It turned out that the grand protective formation of the sect earlier was orchestrated by this one of the Six Formless Ones.

“You’re too kind, Senior. My abilities are hardly worthy of such a grand display,” Li Luo quickly said humbly.

Ling Shu wrinkled her pert nose and said, “Hey, don’t call me Senior. I don’t want to sound old. Just call me Ling Shu.”

It was clear that this one of the Six Formless Ones, who maintained her youthful appearance, cared a lot about this.

“Alright, alright, don’t worry about that, let’s get down to business.”

Ling Shu waved her hand and said, “You want the ‘Void Mist Appearance,’ right? I’ll take you there.”

Seeing her hurried manner, Li Luo and the other two exchanged a glance, smiled helplessly, and quickly followed her, ascending the jade steps towards the Star Palace.

As they climbed the steps, Ling Shu’s figure moved like a butterfly, sometimes asking Li Luo questions, sometimes linking arms with Su Ying, her chattering voice echoing throughout the tranquil sect.

Finally, led by her, Li Luo and the other two entered the Star Palace.

The moment they stepped into the Star Palace, it was as if the stars had shifted, and the scene before them transformed into an endless starry sky.

Shooting stars streaked across the sky, and at the very front was a dazzling golden star, upon which rested a magnificent throne, radiating supreme nobility and majesty.

On the throne, the myriad phenomena of the heavens were inscribed, and a vast aura rose from it.

At the center of the throne was a purple futon, upon which floated a ball of mysterious light.

This light was silvery-white, and within it was a silvery-white divine fruit. The space around the fruit constantly distorted, then emitted a continuous stream of white mist.

The mist was so wondrous that it seemed capable of obscuring everything, even the long river of time.

Beneath the mist, no one could perceive it.

That was… the Void Mist Phase!

Li Luo gazed at the silvery-white divine fruit filled with endless divine charm, and a sense of awe welled up within him. The sect leader’s final dual phase had finally appeared.

Moreover, in Li Luo’s perception, the divine charm emanating from this dual phase was extremely vast, faintly even beginning to possess an aura no less powerful than the Light Phase and the Annihilation Phase.

Clearly, this “Void Mist Phase,” over these long years, had already begun to touch the level of “Pseudo-Tenth Grade.”

No wonder it is so miraculous, able to conceal the information of the Formless Holy Sect throughout the long river of time, and allowing this ruin to remain undetected by later Heavenly Kings.

“Look, that is the ‘Void Mist Appearance’ left behind by the Sect Master. I feel that it has already shown signs of transcending the Ninth Rank, but ordinary people cannot touch it. Only the future Sect Master can ascend the Sect Master’s throne and take it away.” Ling Shu pointed to the silvery-white “Void Mist Appearance” and said to Li Luo.

Li Luo hesitated upon hearing this, saying, “I no longer possess the Myriad Manifestations Seed, how can I control this ‘Void Mist Manifestation’?”

“Even without the Myriad Manifestations Seed, you once forged the ‘Ten Divine Seals’ Myriad Manifestations Wheel. This is an indelible mark, and it’s why the sect’s protective formation recognizes you.” “

According to the sect’s rules, whoever forges the ‘Ten Divine Seals’ Myriad Manifestations Wheel, if the current sect leader is no longer alive, is the rightful sect leader. And if the current sect leader still exists, then you are also a ‘Acting Sect Leader’ with a great responsibility, second only to the sect leader in status within the sect.”

“So your identity will definitely allow you to obtain the ‘Void Mist Phase.’ As for how to make it your own and control it, that’s a problem.”

“But no matter what, obtaining the ‘Void Mist Phase’ is the most important thing.” Ling Shu stroked his smooth chin and analyzed.

Yan Changsheng and Su Ying nodded in agreement.

“Alright, I’ll try first.”

Seeing this, Li Luo no longer hesitated, took a step, and stepped across the starry sky, descending towards the throne that seemed to bear many phases.

As he approached, a mysterious light flowed from the throne, enveloping Li Luo. In an instant, a terrifying sense of destructive pressure seemed to pour down.

But at this moment, Li Luo seemed to hear the rumbling sound of the Myriad Phases Wheel turning.

He vaguely saw that the Myriad Phases Wheel, which had disappeared and collapsed along with the Myriad Phases Seeds being peeled off, seemed to reappear behind him.

The destructive pressure emanating from the throne vanished in an instant.

Li Luo’s figure landed before the purple futon. He stared at it, slightly lost in thought. Was this the place where the legendary sect master of the Wuxiang Holy Sect used to cultivate?

It seemed as if the sect master’s aura still lingered on the futon.

A silvery-white light reflected in his eyes, and the “Void Mist Image” on the purple futon slowly rose and hovered before Li Luo.

“The Void Mist Image has no resistance to you. You have indeed gained its approval. Quickly take it out,” Ling Shu exclaimed in delight upon seeing this.

Li Luo reached out his palm and slowly grasped the “Void Mist Image.”

Ling Shu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, excited about his long wait.

However, just as Li Luo was about to touch the “Void Mist Image,” his hand suddenly stopped.

Ling Shu was startled and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Luo slowly turned his head to look at Ling Shu, a faint smile on his face, and asked, “Ling Shu, can I ask you a question?”

“What question?” Ling Shu’s eyes showed confusion.

Li Luo’s calm voice echoed in the starry sky: “Do you know that my parents entered this ruin decades ago?”

Ling Shu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “Of course I know. They must have entered this place by resonating with the spatial aspect. Moreover, they were too weak at that time, and they couldn’t even activate the sect’s protective array. Afterwards, they took the Myriad Phase Seed. Speaking of which, I also helped them out, otherwise they probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of the fog in the ruins.”

This sect’s protective array is incredibly powerful. Decades ago, Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan were only at the Marquis level. Such levels were like ants in the array’s perception, so they naturally didn’t need to be bothered. On the contrary, the large number of Heavenly Kings, including Jiang Tianwang, approaching this time made them realize the threat, which is why they went all out.

Li Luo remained noncommittal, continuing, “Besides them, there were others who also entered the ruins.”

“One of them was named Qin Lian, but did you know that a demonic seed was planted in her within the ruins, turning her into a furnace, controlling her…? She said it was because she encountered a great demon king-like being within the sect’s ruins, and was thus corrupted.”

Li Luo’s calm, ethereal voice flowed slowly.

“But, within these sect’s ruins, it seems there’s no trace of any great demon king besides you.”

Ling Shu’s brows furrowed: “What do you mean?”

Li Luo turned, staring at the beautiful girl in red.

“What I mean is…”

“Could the being who planted the demonic seed in her, the one suspected to be a great demon king, be you?” “

And I have another question…

“Are you truly the guardian of the ‘Void Mist Form’?” “

Or are you not the guardian, but merely a prisoner, and the ‘Void Mist Form’ and these sect’s ruins are the prison that holds you captive?”
