Chapter 0785 – Li Luo's Plan

Soon enough, the news that the selection of the Banner Leader had been brought forward by a month was known to everyone in the Green Nether Banner, as well as the other three banners. Everyone was talking about the upcoming fight between Li Luo and Zhong Ling.

It was a shocking development for them. Despite Li Luo's remarkable performance at the Fiendish Devil Cave, it was the power of the fifth division as a whole that had made it possible.

In the past, the Green Nether Banner's fifth division had always been hammered down like a nail by others. However, this was also a sign that they were a capable and potential threat. Coupled with the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art that Li Luo possessed, the fifth division had transformed into a formidable force overnight.

Yet this was only possible because of everyone's combined efforts.

Without the support from the members of the fifth division, Li Luo would be a mere Fiend Palace cultivator, while Zhong Ling was a Gold Fiend.

The difference between the two of them was insurmountable.

And unfortunately, the selection of Banner Leader would be an individual battle, so Li Luo would not be able to rely on the fifth division for support. As such, most would have expected him to delay the selection of Banner Leader. However, he had chosen to bring it forward.

Had Li Luo become overly confident after his success at the Fiendish Devil Cave?

Did he think that the state of Harmony he had wielded during the Fiendish Devil Cave expeditions belonged to him alone?

Many people among the four banners had started talking about these things once they heard about the news. Clearly, they were not placing any high hopes on Li Luo winning the selection battle.

On the other hand, Li Luo paid no attention to this gossip at all. He continued to focus on his cultivation as usual.

He used the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Art to refine as many strands of abstruse fiend light as possible every day without fail. In addition to that, he utilized all of his high-grade Fiend Origin Pills. On the days that he had a bit of time to spare, he practiced his resonance arts, especially his trump card, the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner Duke Art.

Although he could already use the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner, there were still different levels to a Duke Art. His was currently at the level of Lesser Completion. There was still a long way to go in order to attain the Greater Completion or Grand Perfection levels.

Of course, he did not slack off on his Flowing Thunder Dragon Fang training either. He was working hard to familiarize himself with the new dragon-general resonance art before the upcoming battle.

And in spite of all this, he had also continued to cultivate his synergy with the fifth division on a daily basis.

He also embarked on Fiendish Devil Cave expeditions every seven days. Time went by very quickly like this, and before he even noticed, half a month had passed.

During this period of time, Li Luo had finished upgrading his waterlight resonant palace completely to the Greater Fiend Palace Tier, increasing his abstruse fiend light limit from five thousand strands to ten thousand strands now.

It was a shocking increase of one hundred percent!

However, this was not meaningful for Li Luo currently. He still had to fill up his other two resonant palaces, so he had no plans to cultivate the first resonant palace for now.

After all, filling up the other two resonant palaces would allow him to boost his resonant power again. This was his priority for the upcoming fight.

He believed that he currently had enough resonant power to beat anyone beneath the Fiend Body Tier. Alas, his opponent was, unfortunately, at the Gold Fiend Tier.

It was not easy to close such a massive gap. If it were, the four banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage would not be chattering so incessantly about how arrogant he had become.

And so, after half a month of hard work, Li Luo achieved fourteen hundred strands of abstruse fiend light for his woodearth resonant palace.

This was already an amazing pace, but it was still short of his target if he wished to fill up the woodearth resonant palace within the next two weeks. What's more, he had the Thunder Dragon resonant palace that required attention as well. Although the two weaker resonant palaces required fewer abstruse fiend lights than the waterlight resonant palace due to being lower in grade, they still needed four thousand strands of abstruse fiend lights each.

Luckily, Li Luo did not have to fully fill up both of them.

Following the completion of his waterlight resonant palace, he could now transfer the five thousand abstruse fiend lights from it to his other resonant palaces.

As such, he could begin to upgrade his second resonant palace with all due haste.

Such was the advantage of a cultivator with multiple resonant palaces.

According to Li Luo's plan, his next step would be to take the opportunity to fill up his three Greater Fiend Palaces to the limit. During which, he would prepare enough resources to push for the next stage, the Fiend Body Tier. However, he would not break through immediately.

He wanted to set up an infallible foundation first.

His ultimate goal was to only attempt this task after all three resonant palaces were fully maxed out with a total of thirty thousand strands of abstruse fiend light. Once he succeeded, his foundation would be solid and unshakeable. After stepping into the Fiend Body Tier, he could probably reach the Silver Fiend Body Tier instantly!

Most importantly, this would allow him to tackle the Glass Fiend Tier in the future to enable the best foundation and potential for future growth.

The Glass Fiend Tier was only achievable by the most talented and gifted cultivators with absolute foundations. If he could succeed, it would prepare him for an easier route towards the Duke Stage.

This was why many gifted cultivators opted to spend extra time at the Fiend Body Tier, all for the ultimate prize, the Glass Fiend.

Everyone was planning for the future after all.

For now, Li Luo continued to follow his plan and progressed along steadily.

The Fiendish Devil Cave remained a crucial part of his plan, as the abstruse fiend lights from it were comparable to what he obtained from both his Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art and Fiend Origin Pills.

During this period, he had led the fifth division to reach layer thirty-four.

As a result, the Green Nether Banner had risen in the ranks as well.

However, Li Luo could begin to feel the challenge and strain as he delved into the deeper layers. On his first expedition, he could easily clear a few layers with the fifth division. But at the current layer, he was only able to clear one layer per expedition period.

Of course, the overall rewards did not diminish much as the higher the layer, the greater the rewards for clearing it.

Everything proceeded smoothly as Li Luo had intended.

However, the smooth sailing didn’t last forever. On day twenty, when Li Luo led the fifth division on their fifth expedition, he was stunned when he saw their opponent for the third day's battle among the banners.

Of course, it was not just him who was taken aback. Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, and Mu Bi looked at the list in shock as well.

"What the heck?!" Mu Bi could not help but exclaim. "I knew that this would happen at some point, but it has come sooner than I thought," Zhao Yanzhi said as she shook her head.

Li Shi sighed.

Li Luo just smiled helplessly, unable to come up with any consoling words at the moment.

As they stared at the screen, their opponent was shown beside the Green Nether Banner's fifth division. It was the Holy Scale Banner's first division from the Dragon's Scale Lineage. They were the second ranked banner that wouldn't lose out even to the Gold Blood Banner of the Dragon's Blood Lineage.

Most importantly, the sub leader of the Holy Scale Banner's first division was one of the two famous goddesses in the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages, Lu Qingmei of the Dragon's Scale.
