Chapter 1187: Fifty Thousand Feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram

The lofty Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried towered over the horizon. It was like a godly and awe-inspiring divine mountain. Worldly natural energy roiled in the skies above, pouring into the Duke Bergfried.

The light coming from the Duke Bergfried was absolutely blinding to the naked eye. This was because it had been formed with the purest light resonant power.

Waves of scintillating halos of light continuously radiated from the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried as though it was the sun, causing all of the students to feel a hint of respect in their hearts.

The students held awe-struck gazes as they stared at the perfect Duke Bergfried. Some indulged in the aura of its godly majesty until they had drunken looks on their faces, perhaps fantasizing of obtaining one for themselves. It was something they all dreamed about.

It was truly unrivaled.

Wu Changkong had a complicated look on his face. Jiang Qing'e's talent was something they could all physically feel as they basked in the light. If someone were to say she was the direct child of a Heavenly Emperor, no one would suspect otherwise. Alas, how could someone so perfect be engaged to Li Luo?

“How did this brat manage to be blessed with everything? Not only was he born to a great family, he is also good-looking and, most irritatingly, he has lived a good life!”

Wu Changkong felt pangs of pain in his heart and intense jealousy welled up within him. With Jiang Qing'e embarking on the path of a Transcendent Duke, if she were to be brought back to the Wu family, even the far-sighted and highly picky family patriarch would be so excited that he would hold banquets for many months. In fact, Wu Changkong would likely be confirmed as the next generation's family head! It was a pity that these were all just idle dreams.

He felt disappointed. He had always been proud and lofty, and there were countless exceptional maidens who admired him, yet he had not reciprocated. Who would have known that one day, he would experience the very same one-sided and heartless treatment and feel heartbreak.

After materializing for a while, the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried transformed back into a stream of light that re-entered the body of the young lady who was sitting cross-legged.

Her eyes finally opened after being rightly shut for over three months.

Her golden eyes flowed with light, and all who saw her felt a sense of abstruse mystery and sacredness in their brilliance.

A mysterious pressure rolled off her body as well.

Jiang Qing'e slightly lowered her head and looked down at her slender, white hands in a slight trance. She knew that she had truly stepped into the Duke Stage now.

This was the goal she had arduously strove for in the Xia Kingdom.

Not only that, she had attained a perfect Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.

In her memories, whether it was Master Li Taixuan or Mistress Tan Tailan, neither of their Duke Bergfrieds had ten pillars. If she had possessed such might in the Xia Kingdom, perhaps she wouldn’t have been separated from Li Luo for so long.

However, despite her happiness and relief, the Duke Stage could not resolve all of their problems. There would only be stronger enemies, and she had to keep getting stronger.

When she thought of this, her mind focused inwards and she inspected the third resonant palace that had been created as a result of her breakthrough.

The third resonant palace gave off a sacred light as well.

Her third resonance was, unsurprisingly, also a light resonance, middle ninth-grade.

This meant that she currently had three light resonances, one being a lower ninth-grade and the other two middle ninth-grade. She wasn’t the only one with three ninth-grade light resonances in the world, but it was definitely rare.

When all three were combined, the terrifying purification power would enable her to truly be the bane of Others.

As Jiang Qing'e inspected the three light resonances, she felt the void before her tremble, and two people appeared.

"Mentor? Why are you here?" Jiang Qing'e eyes widened as she looked at Zhen Mingyu with surprise.

The youthful Zhen Mingyu helplessly replied, "I was afraid my precious student would be kidnapped if I hadn’t come."

Jiang Qing'e lightly replied, "Mentor, Li Luo is my fiance, and if not for the sacrificial ignition of my Heart of Light, I would not have left him."

"I know. I come in second after all." Zhen Mingyu pouted.

She then sighed deeply as she continued. "You can relax, I'm not unreasonable. So long as you wish for it, I will not obstruct you. The moment I heard that you were breaking into the Duke Stage, I was concerned that there would be complications and immediately rushed over."

"Thank you, Mentor." Jiang Qing'e smiled sincerely.

Zhen Mingyu then perked up with happiness as she stared at Jiang Qing'e. "However, Qing'e, you've more than lived up to my expectations. You've actually managed to form a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. Oh, yes, what's your third resonance?"

"Middle ninth-grade light resonance," Jiang Qing'e replied.

Zhen Mingyu and Lan Lingzi both gasped in surprise. Although this was somewhat expected, it being a middle ninth-grade was not.

"Yet another Light Sacred Seed," Lan Lingzi said with envy.

Zhen Mingyu's eyes were like crescent moons as she grinned haughtily. "Raising such an outstanding student is a great achievement as a vice principal. It looks like in a few years’ time, it will be my turn to be principal of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College."

When faced with Zhen Mingyu's ambitious words, Lan Lingzi could only helplessly shake her head. However, she had to admit that Jiang Qing'e was truly an unrivaled and rarely seen talent. Although forming one Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was not indicative that she would eventually become a Transcendent Duke, she would likely be able to lord over all her peers.

As a result, her mentor would have contributed immensely to the Academic Federation.

Jiang Qing'e's gaze then turned towards an energy vortex that was still spinning. It was where Li Luo was seated, and with how long his breakthrough was taking, it had piqued everyone's interest as well.

It also meant that he had received exceptional benefits.

Zhen Mingyu was lightly smacking the jade sugarcane against her palm as she asked rhetorically, "Is that brat your fiance?"

Jiang Qing'e nodded and smiled. "Li Luo's body contains three resonant palaces and six resonances. His talent isn’t at all inferior to mine. He's also exceptional with resonance arts, having cultivated a Destiny-grade Duke Art when he’s merely at the Heavenly Pearl Tier."

"Six resonances and a Destiny-grade Duke Art?"

Zhen Mingyu was taken aback. If this brat managed to reach the Duke Stage, wouldn't he have four resonant palaces and seven resonances? If the grades were a little higher, then he would be no weaker than Jiang Qing'e with her three ninth-grade light resonances.

"Isn't the luck of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li simply too good? They produced Li Taixuan, who managed to snag the demonic genius Tan Tailan, and now they have Li Luo, who captured the heart of this unrivaled genius Jiang Qing'e?" Zhen Mingyu murmured.

It was almost like buying one and getting on free! "Let's continue waiting. Li Luo received the greatest amount of Worldly Source Energy, and since he's only at the Heavenly Pearl Tier, it will take him longer to absorb it all," Lan Lingzi commented.

Jiang Qing'e nodded.

Another two to three days passed.

The energy vortex around Li Luo's body finally showed signs of movement, and everyone's gazes turned over.

Atop Li Luo's head, a radiant pillar of light shot up into the air. His nine Heavenly Pearls began to fuse, combining into a golden seal.

This meant that he had broken into the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier and formed a Heavenly Resonance Golden Seal.

The golden seal was illusory, which meant that he was still at the Illusory Seal-grade.

However, this was not the end of things. Just a few breaths of time later, the illusory seal took physical form, and he started emanating strong undulations.

Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, True Seal-grade!

In a short span of time, he had reached the next grade!

However, the roiling fluctuations of energy did not cease there.

The Heavenly Resonance Golden Seal began to shine brightly, and a moment later, the void was lit up and a blurry diagram was formed in the sky.

Huge amounts of energy flowing through the diagram.

This caused the group to feel a sense of shock. This was the formation of a Heavenly Resonance Diagram!

Was Li Luo planning on directly attacking the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier?

He had leaped over an entire stage.

As the blurry diagram gradually opened up in the skies above, many miraculous things seemed to be contained within it. The energy up there condensed to form an image, like ink drawing on a blank slate.

A raging torrent of water materialized, then a towering tree took root. Meanwhile, a dragon's silhouette was seen lurking in the clouds. Light shone resplendently throughout. Earth took form in the ground, and thunder and lightning crashed into it.

The beautiful scenery was gradually unfolding.

In the end, the Heavenly Resonance Golden Seal rushed into the sky and directly landed in the diagram.

It was as though a piece of art had been completed and this was the stamp of approval.

Bang!

As soon as it happened, it shattered, turning into countless motes of golden light that spread across the entire diagram.

This resulted in the illusory diagram gaining an actual form.

A gigantic and majestic Heavenly Resonance Diagram appeared in the skies above, swallowing up all of the worldly natural energy around it.

Although he had not incited the level of surprise that Jiang Qing'e had with her Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, seeing Li Luo jumping stages shocked everyone present as well.

Especially because the width of the Heavenly Resonance Diagram was fifty thousand feet!

Li Luo had vaulted over the Heavenly Pearl Tier, directly entering the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier.
