Absolute Resonance Chapter 1437: Celestial Mirror Sand

Chapter 1437: Celestial Mirror Sand

"Celestial Mirror City is incredibly vast but also clearly delineated. The central area is exclusive to the four ancient colleges and is the most majestic. The surrounding perimeter is occupied by the four divine continents’ sage colleges. Their overall strength and resources far surpa.s.s the outer divine continents’ sage colleges. The most periphery area is for the six outer divine continents' sage colleges. We from the East Divine Continent's Astral Sage College belong there."

Li Luo followed Chi Chan, Lu Qing'er, and the rest into Celestial Mirror City. They weaved through numerous roads before arriving at an area filled with high towers.

These towers were crafted from greenwood and had vines twisted all around them, giving off a tranquil air.

The sage colleges from the East Divine Continent were supposed to gather here upon entering Celestial Mirror City.

As Li Luo was curiously looking around, a voice rang out from the distance. Then the void before them rippled and someone walked out.

"The Astral Sage College took a little too long to arrive."

It was a middle-aged man in a crimson uniform. His entire body gave off waves of heat and caused the temperature of the air to soar.

Strong undulations of energy radiated off him.

Chi Chan immediately recognized the man and hurriedly greeted him. "Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi."

At the same time, she explained to the rest, "This is the Heavenly Inferno Sage College's Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi, from the East Divine Continent."

"Heavenly Inferno Sage College?"

This was a familiar name to Li Lio. that was the college Lu Ming frequented.

Chen Chi's gaze swept over the group, then a look of surprise and confusion surfaced on his face. "Is that all from the Astral Sage College? Where's Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin?"

Chi Chan gave a bitter smile. "Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi, are you unaware of the Astral Sage College's situation? Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin is unable to extricate herself from her problems."

Chen Chi frowned. He had heard of the Other Disaster that had erupted in the Xia Kingdom, but he had never thought that things were so problematic to the point that Su Xin would be unable to make her way here.

Without Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin leading them, why had the Astral Sage College sent people here in the first place? Were they hoping to muddle along and get lucky?

In the end, Chen Chi sighed helplessly. He was quite close with Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin, and he felt genuinely sorry for the Astral Sage College's decline. Chi Chan, Cao Sheng, and Mi Er were similarly speechless. The Astral Sage College's situation was definitely worse than whatever Chen Chi was thinking. The fact that they had managed to send three people was already the absolute best that Su Xin could’ve done.

"The Astral Sage College was the champion of the last Holy Grail Meet. Based on the rules, you'll occupy a main seat in the East Divine Continent, but I'm afraid you might not be able to hold on to it," Chen Chi helplessly said. řΆℕỔᛒЁŝ

"What does the main seat mean?" Li Luo asked curiously.

Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi then glanced at Li Luo with a strange look on his face. "Aren't you a little young to be a mentor at the Astral Sage College?"

Li Luo smiled. "Greetings, Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi. My name is Li Luo."

That name sounded familiar to Chen Chi. He muttered to himself, trying to figure out why this was the case. After a few moments, he suddenly said in shock, "Were you the one who represented the Astral Sage College's One Star Hall and received the t.i.tle of the strongest at the Holy Grail Meet all those years ago? Could you be THAT Li Luo?"

Li Luo smiled and nodded. "I have a fairly good relations.h.i.+p with Lu Ming from your college. Might you know how she's doing right now?"

"Lu Ming is currently the strongest Flame Seedling in the Heavenly Inferno Sage College," Chen Chi said with a look of pride on his face.

"Wow, that is impressive," Li Luo responded. The t.i.tle of Flame Seedling was the equivalent of the Astral Sage College's Seven Astral Pillars. Thinking about it, it was about time she reached that point.

Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi then sized up Li Luo, and he seemed to gain an understanding of something. His expression changed. "You... you're a mentor at the Astral Sage College now? Does that mean you've entered the Duke Stage?"

The fact that Li Luo was here meant that he was a mentor. All of the mentors that were capable of entering the Celestial Mirror PaG.o.da were Dukes!

Did this mean that he had already reached that point?

Wasn't his cultivation speed a little too demonic? Lu Ming, the strongest Fire Seedling, was only at the Heavenly Resonance Stage at the moment. Meanwhile, Li Luo had left her in the dust.

"Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi, Li Luo is not only a Duke—he is a second-grade Transcendent," Chi Chan explained.

A second-grade Transcendent!? Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi was at a loss for words and his eyes widened like saucers. He was completely dumbfounded as he stared at the youthful individual before him. He was previously shocked by the fact that he was a Duke, but the surprises kept coming! Li Luo's peer, Lu Ming, was already a great source of pride for him. Yet her achievements were nothing compared to Li Luo’s. A second-grade Transcendent was as strong as a fifth-grade Duke.

This meant that he had already surpa.s.sed Chi Chan and the rest of the experienced mentors. This sort of talent was rarely found even in the ancient colleges, so how had someone like him come from an outer divine continent's sage college?

Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen Chi finally composed himself and looked at Li Luo with a complicated look in his eyes. "So it turns out that you are the one relying on the Astral Sage College to enter the Celestial Mirror PaG.o.da."

If the other prodigies of Li Luo's generation in the East Divine Continent's sage colleges were to hear of Li Luo's current state, they would very likely be demoralized.

"Being a second-grade Transcendent should allow you to protect the Astral Sage College’s seat, but you are probably still lacking if you want to obtain a main seat of the East Divine Continent," Chen Chi commented.

"Alright, but could you explain what a main seat is?" Li Luo asked yet again.

Chi Chan apologetically replied, "I meant to explain the rules of the Celestial Mirror PaG.o.da in detail from the start. The battles are split into two parts. The first part is known as the Domain Traversal Battles. One must win them to ascend from the second to the thirtieth Heavenly Domains. Every Heavenly Domain contains what we call Celestial Mirror Sand, which is apparently a Heavenly Emperor object."

"Celestial Mirror Sand? Heavenly Emperor object?" Li Luo's gaze flickered. The core of the Celestial Mirror PaG.o.da contained a Heavenly Emperor's remains, so was Celestial Mirror Sand created by it? Was it not the Heavenly Emperor's bone dust? Li Luo sighed. A Heavenly Emperor was truly an incomparable existence if their remains had not disintegrated after countless years. On top of that, the latter generations were capable of benefiting from them. It truly was unbelievable.

"What's the use of Celestial Mirror Sand?" Li Luo asked.

Chi Chan answered, "Celestial Mirror Sand is able to a.s.sist someone with breaking through."

"Oh?" Li Luo didn't understand what she was saying.

Chi Chan then patiently continued, "I mean breaking through into the next stage. There are many Dukes who have been stuck at a bottleneck for many years, and Celestial Mirror Sand is able to a.s.sist them with breaking through and advancing to the next grade. The higher the grade of the Duke, the more Celestial Mirror Sand is required. What is truly mysterious is that if you obtain enough Celestial Mirror Sand, you can break through perfectly. This means obtaining a Duke Bergfried of the highest caliber."

Chi Chan paused for a moment, and her beautiful eyes locked onto Li Luo. "If we were to take you as an example, a perfect breakthrough would mean that your third Duke Bergfried would be a Ten-Pillar one as well."

What?! Li Luo sucked in a breath of air and his heart palpitated.

He now understood why even Heavenly Emperor powers wished to enter the Celestial Mirror PaG.o.da!

The benefits were simply too good to resist!
