Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1831

Chapter 1828 In Search of the Answer

The spatial crystal containing the Spirit Book, which sealed King Yin, landed before King Jiang. The many Heavenly Kings of Shenzhou, led by the latter, were all stunned by Li Luo’s calm words.

Incredulous gazes filled the two figures frozen within the spatial crystal.

One of them was none other than King Yin!

The Divine Fruit Heavenly King, who had wreaked havoc in the Shenzhou world for years, leading the Guiyi Society to bring countless calamities to Shenzhou, had actually been easily sealed away by Li Luo at this moment?

The many Heavenly Kings exchanged bewildered glances, all seeing the complex emotions and turbulent shock in each other’s eyes.

Ultimately, these emotions transformed into a profound awe, converging upon Li Luo.

Although to the Heavenly Kings of Shenzhou present, Li Luo was merely a rising star, in the path of cultivation, the accomplished precede the advanced. Li Luo had clearly reached the pinnacle and ultimate of power.

That was a step beyond even a Heavenly King.

He controlled the pseudo-tenth-grade “Void Mist Form,” a level of strength that surpassed even the Divine Fruit Heavenly King.

Among the many Heavenly Kings, Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan gazed at the tall, handsome young man with expressions of satisfaction and pride. Seeing Li Luo achieve his current accomplishments brought them even greater joy than if they themselves had reached the pseudo-tenth-grade realm.

As parents, their greatest pride was not in their own achievements, but in their children’s remarkable growth.

They knew the hardships Li Luo had endured along the way and were naturally proud of his accomplishments.

The boy who had once struggled with anxiety over his own Void Form had now reached a level that even the Heavenly Kings revered.

Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the many Heavenly Kings, Li Luo fell into a brief silence because of Heavenly King Jiang’s expectant question.

Had he found the answer?

Was the ultimate answer within the ruins of the Formless Holy Sect this pseudo-tenth-grade “Void Mist Form”?

“This answer is not enough,” Li Luo slowly shook his head, his voice somewhat low.

His voice rang out, immediately causing the excitement on the faces of King Jiang and the others to subside, for they understood Li Luo’s meaning.

Even though he now controlled the pseudo-tenth-grade “Void Mist Form,” this power was still insufficient to change the fate of the Divine Continent.

Because when the ten-year period arrived, the “Dark Sect Master” would reach perfection and enter the true tenth-grade realm.

That realm was far beyond the pseudo-tenth-grade.

It was the true world-supreme being.

Many Heavenly Kings couldn’t help but look up at the black sun and blood moon at the end of the sky. That eerie behemoth was like a pitch-black demonic eye, coldly looking down on the world’s creatures as they made their final, death throes with a mocking gaze.

A strong sense of powerlessness rose in the hearts of the Heavenly Kings.

The joy they had felt earlier because of King Yin’s sealing had vanished.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere spread.

“King Luo, can you advance to the tenth grade?” Finally, King Jiang took a deep breath and asked.

To defeat the Dark Sect Master, the only way is to rely on a true tenth-grade realm, and in the world today, only Li Luo has a sliver of hope.

Faced with Jiang Tianwang’s question, brimming with his last hope, even Li Luo at this moment cannot provide an answer, for how difficult is it to reach the true tenth grade?

The sect master of yesteryear, also wielding a pseudo-tenth-grade Bright Aspect, still failed to take that final step.

Even this terrifying “Dark Sect Master,” formed from the fusion of the sect master and the source of all evil, needed countless years of planning to finally reach the tenth grade.

And him?

He only managed to wield a pseudo-tenth-grade “Void Mist Aspect” by relying on the legacy of his predecessors. Therefore, Li Luo doesn’t believe he can compare to that sect master.

Li Luo gazes up at the magnificent and mysterious temple complex atop the “Black Sun and Blood Moon” at the edge of the sky. Mystic light flows above the temples, like Jiang Qing’e’s gentle gaze watching him.

However, this is not a reason to give up.

He wouldn’t let the time Qing’e had bought for him with all her might go to waste.

No matter how difficult the path, he would strive to find it.

Because he wanted to reach that day ten years later, when Qing’e was weaker than ever before, to be able to truly stand before her, a towering mountain protecting her.

“In the coming years, I will remain in the sect ruins, searching for that final answer,” Li Luo said calmly.

The Heavenly Kings, led by King Jiang, all looked solemn, then bowed deeply to Li Luo.

“The survival of the Divine Land rests in the hands of Heavenly King Luo.”

They knew that the last hope for the survival of the Divine Continent in a few years rested on Li Luo.

If he could truly find the answer to the Tenth Grade, then everything would naturally be resolved; if not, then the Divine Continent would completely become a plaything of the Dark Sect Master, trampled and manipulated by him, turning into a bizarre and distorted place.

Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan stepped forward. The former patted Li Luo’s shoulder and smiled, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best.”

Tantai Lan said softly, “If it really doesn’t work out, then you can take Qing’e back to the Luo Lan Mansion. Your father and I will be waiting for you there. Even if the Divine Continent is destroyed, at least we will be together as a family. That way, even if it is destroyed, there is nothing to be afraid of.”

Hearing their comforting words, Li Luo smiled and nodded. Then he reached out and hugged the two of them, and without lingering, his figure disappeared into the void.

Jiang Tianwang and the others watched his disappearing figure and couldn’t help but sigh with regret.

Now that King Yin has been sealed away, the Guiyi Society is completely leaderless. This former major threat is no longer a threat, and the underworld has also fallen silent. Therefore, for a time, the Heavenly Kings all felt a sense of bewilderment, unsure of what to do.

“Everyone, return to your respective places and enjoy your last moments,”

King Jiang said, looking at the assembled Heavenly Kings. “You have all worked hard guarding the battlefields of the Kings and Marquises over the years.

On behalf of all the people of Shenzhou, I thank you for your contributions.” He bowed to the Heavenly Kings, and the others returned the bow.

Finally, King Jiang’s eyes were filled with complex emotions as he said, “The future is beyond our control. Therefore, let the Heavenly King Alliance disband. May you all find your way to the Great Dao.”

Upon hearing this, a trace of sorrow appeared in the eyes of many of the Heavenly Kings present. This alliance, which had been painstakingly built by previous generations of Heavenly Kings during Shenzhou’s darkest era, through countless difficult times, to prolong the life of Shenzhou, had also reached its end.

This end was somewhat tragic, filled with helplessness.

They all understood that once the Dark Sect Master descended, the Heavenly King Alliance, which had protected the Divine Continent for so long, would lose its meaning.

They couldn’t change anything.

The Heavenly Kings, who were like gods in the eyes of the world, were like ants before the Dark Sect Master.

The Heavenly Kings were dejected and said nothing more. One by one, they turned and disappeared into the world.

Heavenly King Jiang watched them leave, his expression somewhat forlorn. He then cupped his hands to Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, who were still there, without uttering a word. His figure faded and vanished.

Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan exchanged a final glance at the ruins of the Formless Holy Sect, sighed softly, and walked hand in hand towards Luo Lan Mansion.

They would wait there for Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e’s return.

Whatever the outcome, they would face it with equanimity.

Outside the ancient ruins, silence returned.

Li Luo reappeared within the Starry Sky Dojo, standing before the throne, his gaze fixed on the purple futon in its center.

This was the sect leader’s cultivation place.

Li Luo sat cross-legged before the futon, staring at it for a long time, his silvery eyes shimmering with a strange light. He vaguely sensed a lingering aura on the purple futon.

That aura was ancient, magnificent, powerful, and mysterious,

yet it existed in a state between existence and non-existence.

Li Luo understood that this must be the sect leader’s aura.

But even now, he couldn’t truly see her.

Was it because he wasn’t qualified enough?

Then, what was missing?

Li Luo’s silvery eyes gradually closed, as if entering the deepest state of meditation, pondering the final answer.

Perhaps it would take a long time, but he had a premonition.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the answer would lead to the Myriad Forms Seed.
