Absolute Resonance-Chapter 1491: Robust Heavenly Thunder Bamboo

When Jiang Qing'e and Lu Qing'er added their transcendent aura to the flame, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Shoot began to grow at a visible rate. The originally pudgy bamboo became much taller, turning much slimmer. Even some small leaves had grown out, and each one was engraved with mystical thunder runes, symbolizing the purest form of thunder energy. Thunder energy crackled on the bamboo's surface and rumbling sounds continued unabated, causing even the void to shake. The growth of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo lasted for a full two hours before the trio ran out of transcendent aura.

Li Luo looked at the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo shoot with joy. No, it couldn't be considered a shoot anymore. Thanks to their close nurturing, it had turned into a true stalk of bamboo over ten feet tall within the five-colored pot. Furthermore, Li Luo could sense a familiar but weak aura from the core of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo; anyone would feel fear from it despite how thin the aura was. It was as though it was a slumbering beast that was capable of destroying the world when it awoke. Just a single breath of this creature would cause everything to tremble before it. That said, Li Luo didn't feel any fear at all. Instead, he was elated. This aura was definitely Li Jingzhe's! Although the wisp of aura was originally like a candle in the wind, capable of dissipating at any time, it had turned much more solid after this period of close nurturing. This meant that things were progressing positively.

So long as he continued to provide Absolute Resonance Qi to it, Li Jingzhe would eventually be revived.

Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief and carefully put away the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. Then he raised his head and flashed a handsome smile towards the two ladies. "Thank you."

Transcendent aura was very precious, and only when one forged a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried would trace amounts be left behind. Over time, this transcendent aura could even be considered a miraculous spirit medicine as it strengthened a Duke Bergfried's foundation and root. Jiang Qing'e and Lu Qing'er had both given up their precious transcendent aura as fuel for more Absolute Resonance Qi. This situation was curious to him. Originally, he had assumed that only his transcendent aura could be refined into Absolute Resonance Qi; it was unexpected that Jiang Qing'e and Lu Qing'er's transcendent auras were similarly sucked in. He speculated that this was only possible because the trio had been there at the same time and place, simultaneously absorbing the golden smoke. Thus, their energy fluctuations had merged during their simultaneous breakthrough. As a result, his Myriad Resonances Flame had recognized the two's transcendent auras.

Regardless of the reason, he was thankful from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Qing'er could sense that Li Luo's thanks were only directed towards her. After all, with how close he was to Jiang Qing'e, there was no need to stand on ceremony. "You've helped me forge a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried and I've gifted you back some transcendent aura in return. I don't think I've lost out in this exchange," Lu Qing'er said emotionlessly. She then stood up and left the cultivation chamber. Indeed, this was only a mutual exchange and it wasn't because she wanted to help him.

Watching the cold aura flow around her, Li Luo felt a hint of melancholy and replied with a touch of sadness, "She had such a great personality in the past, but it's all been ruined by the Permafrost Sacred Seed. If I ever have the chance, I'll do my best to let her return back to normal one day."

Jiang Qing'e glanced at him. The reason why Lu Qing'er had turned this way was due to him and not necessarily because of the Permafrost Sacred Seed. That said, she didn't speak the words in her mind. "Now that the two of us have advanced a stage, we have much more confidence in the Celestial Mirror Martial Exchange."

When Jiang Qing'e faced an eighth-grade Duke in the past, although she wasn't completely powerless, she still felt a sense of restraining fear towards them. Now that she was a fourth-grade Transcendent, things had changed and she was truly one of the strongest experts within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda.

Even if Zhou Jun, Sheng Qiao'er, Lin Ju, and Song Jing had broken through to the upper Eighth Duke Stage, the pressure in facing them had reduced tremendously. After all, she had made a much greater improvement compared to them with the addition of another Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried.

Li Luo's expression also livened up upon hearing about the Celestial Mirror Martial Exchange. His most important goal was to find the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art and resolve the issue of his fourth blank palace. Based on the information Jiang Qing'e had found, the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art would likely be found on the thirty-fourth layer through an ancient altar. This was thus his target.

Before, he had been a little concerned about wether this was even a realistic goal. However, he felt much more confident now.

In terms of battle strength, he was truly no weaker than an ordinary seventh-grade Duke at this point. If he were to fight Chi Li again, he felt that he would easily be able to suppress and defeat him, even without the aid of the Dragon Blood Atavism Art. "Now that I've reached this step..." Li Luo couldn't wait to participate in the Celestial Mirror Martial Exchange. Only then could he enter the true core regions of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda and encounter the real opportunities hidden within this place. After all, these were ancient legacies from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect.

There were even Transcendent Arts in there!

"I hope we can find the Light Transcendent Art. After all, Sister Qing'e, you're one step ahead of me on the Path of Ascension, and you have to possess such an art as your foundation if you want to become a true Transcendent Duke. If encounter it within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, we definitely cannot give it up," Li Luo said.

Looking at Li Luo's attentive and handsome face planning things out, Jiang Qing'e's gaze softened and she replied, "The reason I was able to reach the Fourth Transcendent Stage was thanks to you."

Li Luo grinned and stretched his hand out. Jiang Qing'e did the same, and the two's fingers intertwined, feeling the warmth of their bodies and their affection. He then lightly tugged and pulled Jiang Qing'e into his embrace, his arms wrapped around her waist with a smile. "How can you thank me without any sincerity?"

He then immediately smelled something fragrant and something pressed onto his lips. Her lips were cool and soft, causing one's emotions to fluctuate.

Jiang Qing'e wanted to escape, but Li Luo's reactions were too quick. The arm around her slender waist was hooked strongly and at the same time, he greedily plastered his lips onto hers. She trembled for a moment, and a red flush climbed up across her fair skin to her ear lobes. That said, she wasn't an ordinary girl either. Even though she felt shy deep down, she didn't give in. Instead, she pressed her hands lightly on Li Luo's chest and launched her own counterattack! The atmosphere in the cultivation chamber turned into an enchanting scene of lingering emotions.

As things gradually heated up, a sonorous voice resounded throughout Celestial Mirror City, penetrating into the cultivation chamber. It was Wang Xuanjin's voice. "The Celestial Mirror Martial Exchange will officially begin in three days' time."

This simple sentence had set off a flurry within the city, and emotions surged. This was the last part of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda trials and also the most important. After several months of improvement, the main show was finally about to start.
