Chapter 0931: Secret

"Jiang Wanyu from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College."

Li Luo stared at this line with interest. He used to be from the Astral Sage College, and thus he was particularly interested in the ancient college participants.

Jiang Wanyu was from the Three Star Hall of the ancient college. Not only that, she was also at the two-pearl tier. This was much stronger than the Three Star Hall of the Astral Sage College, exceeding it by more than a whole tier. Clearly, the quality of the students in the ancient college was much higher and the foundation of the college was much stronger.

"Eighth-grade wind and fire dual resonances," Li Luo whispered to himself. This combination was surely stronger than a pseudo ninth-grade. With the power of dual resonances working together, it could even be considered a lower ninth-grade.

As such, Li Luo's eyes paused for a moment when he came across Jiang Wanyu’s name. Shortly later, he continued reading down the list. There were many more noteworthy individuals, including Li Qingfeng.

Apart from the four Heavenly Emperor bloodlines and the Heavenly Origin Ancient College, there were also a few individuals of exceptional quality from the other powers. Although the foundation of these powers were weaker than that of the Heavenly Emperor powers, they were still a ways ahead compared to the Xia Kingdom. What was deemed as trash here would still be considered a king there. Just this point alone was enough to show how much of a difference there was when it came to the inner divine continent.

It was no wonder why people like Li Hongli would look down on those from the outer divine continent. With such a huge disparity seen here, it was not surprising that she viewed it as a barren wasteland.

Li Luo spent a considerable amount of time reading before he finally placed the scroll aside and sighed. "This is truly a list of the best amongst the best. What lies ahead will definitely be a grand event."

Li Jingzhe, who had lowered his head and was chopping away at bamboo shoots, casually responded, "These are just the extraordinary ones from your generation. I am afraid you and your peers don't even qualify to be the true protagonists of the Spiritual Resonance Cave."

Hearing this, Li Luo laughed and nodded in agreement. Indeed, even the top elites of their generation, such as Qin Yi, were only at the two-pearl tier. Elites from the previous generation would be entering the Spiritual Resonance Cave as well. Those individuals were generally above the five-pearl tier. In terms of battle strength, they held the upper hand.

"Seems like I'll have to stick close to Cousin Lingjing after we enter the Spiritual Resonance Cave," Li Luo joked.

Currently, Li Lingjing's battle strength was gradually being restored. Based on his estimates, she should be close to the elites from the Dragon's Fang Guardians.

"The Spiritual Resonance Cave is an absolutely precious opportunity. Treasures that can increase one's resonance grade are priceless. I believe the individual who created this secret realm was truly extraordinary. At the very least... there are no Heavenly Emperors within the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent now that can replicate it," Li Jingzhe said.

"Even the Heavenly Emperors aren't able to? Just how unimaginable was the creator of the Spiritual Resonance Cave?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

Li Jingzhe pondered for a moment. "We've spent time investigating it over the years. However, the cave is guarded by a strange and mysterious ward. If a power stronger than it tries to infiltrate, it may cause the entire cave to self-destruct. This would irreversibly destroy the secret realm, bringing us more losses than gains. As such, we did not attempt to force our way through. However... we did discover something over the long years."

He paused for a moment and he turned to look at Li Luo. Slowly, he continued, "The Spiritual Resonance Cave is likely related to the strongest ancient sect in recorded history: the Sacred Void Resonance Sect."

Li Luo looked at him blankly when those four words reached his ears. His eyes lit up.

Sacred Void Resonance Sect?

That was where the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art was from! In fact, he had another objective when he came to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. He wanted to find the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art, which would determine his path forward once he entered the Duke Stage in the future. This connection to the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was unexpected.

"It seems like your parents have told you about the Sacred Void Resonance Sect," Li Jingzhe commented as he sensed the changes in Li Luo. However, he was not too surprised.

"My parents entered the ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, right?" Li Luo asked.

Li Jingzhe nodded before he continued, "When they first discovered the ruins, no one knew what it was. No one had imagined it to be ruins left behind by the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. They could be considered the first individuals to have entered the place.

"When the news spread later on, it caused a huge uproar within the continent. Even the other Heavenly Emperor powers set their eyes on it. After all, the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was really renowned."

"Where are the ruins now? Is it still open?" Li Luo asked nervously. If he wanted any clues about the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art, he would probably have to look for it there.

Li Jingzhe calmly explained, "Ancient ruins like that have their own set of rules and space. It's protected by a similarly extraordinary ward that even Kings are unable to force their way through. Your parents were lucky to find their way into it first. Afterwards, the ruins seem to have vanished from the world without a trace and have not resurfaced after so many years. However, I believe it'll appear again one day. This is something that all the Heavenly Emperor powers are lying in wait for. The day the ruins resurface, they will inevitably head in and explore. After all, the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was illustrious and had a prominent reputation. The treasures they left behind are sure to be tantalizing, even for Heavenly Emperor powers like us."

Hearing this, Li Luo felt a little disappointed. However, the feeling was coupled with relief. Disappointed because he could not tell when the ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect would reappear. Relieved as no one else had entered it thus far. In that case, the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art that he wanted would surely still be waiting for him.

There was no need to rush things through. After all, he was not a Duke yet, so getting his hands on the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art was not an urgent matter yet.

"Over the years, the various forces have focused on the Spiritual Resonance Cave partly because they wanted to probe for an opportunity to find the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. However, there hasn't been much progress," Li Jingzhe explained frankly. At this point, he finished slicing up the fresh bamboo shoots. After a quick wash with fresh spring water on the side, he continued, "Speaking of which, the Spiritual Resonance Cave contains many treasures that can increase your resonance grade. Amongst them, there is one that reigns supreme amongst the rest. If you have the chance, you should definitely do your best to obtain one."

Hearing this, Li Luo asked curiously, “Just what could be so amazing?"

"The Origin Enlightenment Fruit," Li Jingzhe replied.

Li Luo repeated the words to himself with a face full of confusion. He had never heard of it before.

"It's normal that you've never heard of it. Such a precious treasure is extremely rare even in the inner divine continent. You may only be able to find traces of it in the Nobles' Battlefield," Li Jingzhe said.

"What can it do?" Li Luo asked curiously.

Li Jingzhe thought about it for a moment before he responded, "Have you heard of the Resonance Origin?"

Li Luo frowned and said, "I have heard of it previously. It's something that only those in the Heavenly Resonance Tier get into contact with, right?"

Li Jingzhe nodded. "Comprehending one’s Resonance Origin is akin to getting a deeper understanding of one’s own resonance. Ordinarily speaking, this is something that only those who have reached the Heavenly Resonance Tier can achieve. This is an essential step before anyone can become a Duke. In other words, if you cannot comprehend your Resonance Origin, you'll never be able to forge your Duke Bergfrieds.

"This is the preliminary step to becoming a Duke!"

Li Luo felt taken aback for a moment. If he could not forge Duke Bergfrieds, he would naturally be unable to become a Duke. Who would have thought that comprehending one’s Resonance Origin would be so important?

"Anyone who has comprehended their Resonance Origin will achieve an evolution in their resonant power. This is an extremely rare opportunity. After all, it will determine whether you can become a Duke in the future."

At this moment, Li Jingzhe looked at Li Luo with a serious expression and reminded him, "If you hear about one in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, remember to fight for this item."

Li Luo kept quiet but nodded in agreement.

This was an opportunity that he had to acquire by hook or by crook if he came across it.
