Chapter 0988: Golden Dew Platform

Li Luo felt a hint of complication within his heart. Although he was elated at the fact that Jiang Qing'e was flaunting her splendor at the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, he felt a little helpless at the newfound legion of enemies his status had brought upon him. However, he still felt pleased deep down. When Jiang Qing'e had returned the engagement certificate to him, it signified that their official relationship had taken a turn for the worse. At the very least, they were no longer engaged to one another.

However, Jiang Qing'e had continued to maintain their relationship, at least to the outside world. Perhaps in her heart, this engagement agreement had never really mattered. Only someone as prideful as Li Luo would bother bickering over something insignificant like it.

Li Luo's downcast expression attracted the attention of the others around him. Zong Sha suspiciously stared at him with a grin. "Junior Li Luo, could it be that you know this senior from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College?"

Li Fuling smiled as she asked, "Could it be that she is your fiancee from the outer divine continent?"

Jiang Wanyu pouted. "That was probably just an excuse that she came up with to prevent the rabble from disturbing her whilst she cultivates. She has no equal within her college, and she has a boundless view of the world. How could she possibly have fallen for some bumpkin from the outer divine continent?"

Her words were logical, and they resonated with the crowd as they similarly agreed.

/p>Li Fengyi snorted in dissatisfaction. "Please! Third Brother is also unrivaled and incomparable to anyone else. Even though he is supposed to be in the Two Star Hall, his battle strength is no weaker than that of a Three Star Hall student. Just who can compare to him in terms of talent and potential? Is there anyone in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College that can be compared to him?"

Jiang Wanyu frowned as she rebuked, "Please, I'm no slouch when compared to Li Luo. He might have triple resonances, but he has not entered the Heavenly Pearl Tier. When we arrive at the Golden Dew Platform, I would like to see what he's made of for myself if we have the chance."

Li Luo helplessly smiled but did not retort. Being able to hear news of Jiang Qing'e from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's students was more than enough to satisfy him.

It seemed that the issue with the sacrificial ignition of her Heart of Light had been resolved. This was what brought him relief. When the Spiritual Resonance Cave concluded, he would find a way to pay a visit to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and see if they had a method to deliver the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus to her.

That heavenly treasure could revert the damage to Jiang Qing'e's foundation as a result of the sacrificial ignition and prevent any issues from cropping up during her breakthrough into the Duke Stage.

The group then continued to make their way towards the Golden Dew Platform.

After half a day, they noticed more and more people rushing in the same direction. It was clear that they had gathered the requisite amount of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew and were now headed towards the Golden Dew Platform.

Li Luo glanced into the distance. He could barely make out a faintly glowing blip of light, akin to a star at the edge of the sky.

There seemed to be a restless whisper echoing throughout the heavens and the earth the closer they approached.

Eventually, Li Luo and the rest saw that the land they were on had an end. At the point where the land mass ended, clouds and mist covered the entire area, as if forming an invisible wall that blocked any further progress.

At the edge of the cloud wall stood a lone, towering mountain.

It was like an unmovable pillar supporting the skies. There was a source of golden light at the peak of the mountain, and it was shaped like a huge and magnificent platform.

This was the goal of everyone in the cave, and their gazes turned heated with anticipation.

Making it past the Golden Dew Platform would allow one to enter the core districts of the Spiritual Resonance Cave to search for rarely seen treasures. But the platform itself was a miraculous treasure that was capable of improving one's resonance grade, so just taking advantage of that was a goal for many. Obtaining the right to enter the core districts was too hard of a task for certain rogue cultivators, so there was no need to try too hard.

Just being able to experience the Golden Dew Platform's baptism made this a worthwhile trip.

Li Luo and the rest had looks of hope and excitement. It was said that just stepping onto the platform would lead to a baptism that could temper their resonances. The purity of their resonances would thus rise significantly, and some could even evolve their resonances.

"I now have a lower eighth-grade waterlight resonance, an upper seventh-grade woodearth resonance, and a lower seventh-grade Thunder Dragon resonance. Advancing to the upper eighth-grade for the waterlight resonance is probably not going to happen even with the assistance of the Golden Dew Platform. However, if I focus on tempering my seventh-grade woodearth and Thunder Dragon resonances, there is a much higher chance of evolving them, considering my accumulations,"?Li Luo thought to himself. The minimum goal for him was to raise the Thunder Dragon resonance to the upper seventh-grade.

Evolving one's resonance was an arduous task, even with the magical properties of the Golden Dew Platform. Even though the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was the unquestionable tyrant of their time, it was surely just as difficult to achieve. The group finally stopped before the towering mountain. The area was filled with countless other powers and rogue cultivators.

When Li Luo arrived, he noticed some unfriendly gazes that were shot towards him.

When he investigated the source of the hostile looks, he recognized a familiar group of "friends.”

The one leading the pack was the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao's Zhao Yan. Behind him were Zhao Jingyu and Zhao Shenjiang, who were glaring at him with gloomy expressions.

"Ah, enemies..." Li Luo smirked slightly upon seeing this.

He was not surprised at all. Although there were three Golden Dew Platforms, there was still a significant chance that they would encounter the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao.

Qin Yi and Zhu Dayu, on the other hand, were not present. It seemed that they had picked a different Golden Dew Platform. If they had all coincidentally picked the same one, there would be too little gruel and too many monks, and the battle would inevitably turn bitter.

Not long after, a group from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li arrived, and Li Luo recognized Lu Qingmei's heroic figure within the crowd.

The Dragon's Scale Lineage was all together.

Li Guan led the group, and when he saw Li Luo's party, he immediately approached them.

"Haha, it seems you've arrived pretty quickly, Fuling." Li Guan looked slightly happy as he flashed an elated smile at Li Fuling. The people already present were of assorted groups from different powers, and since they were both of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, working together would bolster their advantages.

Li Fuling similarly beamed when the two groups combined, becoming much stronger than before.

As time passed, the number of teams that gathered at the foot of the mountain steadily increased. Many altercations broke out during this period when some of the groups that had failed to collect enough Spirit Resonance Golden Dew saw that the Golden Dew Platform was before them. They were unwilling to accept the fact that they were not qualified to progress any further. As a result, frustration boiled over into violence and they attempted to pilfer it from others.

Thus, chaotic brawls ensued.

However, most of these conflicts were between the rogue cultivators; the groups with both numbers and strong battle power like Li Luo's were ignored.

Li Luo similarly remained unconcerned about these battles, only quietly awaiting the opening of the Golden Dew Platform. It was not yet time, and the Gold Resonant Talisman in his hand had not been activated.

They continued to wait for another half a day, and it was then that the Golden Dew Platform began to buzz with activity atop the mountain.

Blinding, golden light overflowed from the giant, floating platform, and seats started appearing beneath it. These seats were spread out from the top of the mountain and were shining with strange light, like a sea of stars.

Gazes turned fiery upon this sight.

Li Luo was no different as he swept his gaze across the entire mountain. At this point, he noticed that there were some differences amongst the seats that had materialized. The ones closest to the Golden Dew Platform were resplendent, golden lotus thrones that shimmered with an enigmatic radiance.

The golden thrones were fewest in number. Further behind were jade praying mats that were crystal-clear and engraved with ancient runes.

Even further behind were stone mats that were tinged green, shining with inscrutable light.

The appearance of these three types of seats allowed everyone to see at a glance the different grades of baptism that were available.

Clearly, the golden lotus thrones were the best, followed by the white jade praying mats, and then finally the greenstone mats. action

Li Luo's gaze was focused upon the golden lotus throne. Even someone who used their butt to think would conclude that those were the beast seats. The only thing was that obtaining one would be tricky with so many people around. In terms of strength, there were also countless individuals at the late Heavenly Pearl Tier who could absolutely suppress him at the Fiend Finisher Tier. The bright side was that he was not unaccompanied—his group possessed numbers and an almighty expert by the name of Li Lingjing. Even if there were some disgruntled rogue cultivators, they would be forced to give way.

However, the ones he had to pay most attention to were the other elite powers that were present. For example, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. With the enmity between them, they would not idly sit by and watch the Fiend Finisher Li Luo hog a golden lotus throne. Thus, this was a battle that could not be avoided.
