Chapter 1240: Refining Star Pearls, Advancing Forward!

The pure energy entered Li Luo's body and was quickly refined into strands of resonant power that entered his resonant palaces.

"This energy is incredibly pure and easy to refine. A single Star Pearl is worth several days of cultivation progress for a normal individual."

Alas, for Li Luo, its effects were not as pronounced. That said, it was still much faster than usual, so he could make immense progress with such a large number of Star Pearls.

He also discovered that the process of refining the Star Pearl's energy created a small strand of golden energy that entrenched itself within his body.

Li Luo looked inwards with his mind when he noticed this. The strand of energy exuded a wild aura, as though it was a feral cub of a beast.

"What is this?" Li Luo was a little surprised. When his mind cin contact with it, he felt a stream of information entering his brain.

"Heavenly Dragon Golden Star. Whenever a World's End River Meteor passes through the Golden Dragonscale Cloud Formation, the formation transforms sof the energy into this form. Said energy condenses within one's body to create a star. It can be used for offense or defense. All of the Five Guardian Armies have to cultivate this so that when they ctogether, this energy can surge out and annihilate all enemies."

Li Luo cto the realization that this was a secret art that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had created for the Five Guardian Armies. The Star Pearls were not only capable of increasing one's strength, they even provided them with Golden Star energy.

It was naturally a powerful offensive art for them.

Most importantly, it did not require a special method to be cultivated. So long as they refined Star Pearls, the Golden Star would increase in power.

"It seems like I've casually picked up something amazing," Li Luo thought to himself.

Afterwards, he surrounded himself with a hundred Star Pearls and shattered all of them, allowing the energy to surge into his body.

The hundred Star Pearls created a large wave of energy that made him feel a little disoriented for a moment. The bright side was that the energy was easy to absorb, so a little while later, it was refined into an immense amount of resonant power that entered his resonant palaces.

At the stime, the strand of Heavenly Dragon Golden Star energy becmuch more vigorous.

As his resonant power soared, Li Luo was filled with utmost satisfaction. Yet he suddenly opened his eyes as he could feel monstrous energy undulations which had surfaced.

What he saw startled him. Tens of thousands of Star Pearls were floating in the air above the golden lotus platform. At the stime, the Dragon's Fang Guardians were each grasping their Heavenly Dragon jades. Streams of light shot out of the jades, landing on the golden lotus platform.

This caused the platform to emit a blinding golden light that swept outwards before taking the form of a dragon. The dragon manifestation coiled around the Star Pearls and, a moment later, spewed out a torrent of dragonbreath to simultaneously refine all of the Star Pearls.

At the stime, a gigantic amount of energy was emitted from the Star Pearls, forming a pure lake of energy.

However, Li Luo realized that the lake of energy gradually beca little mottled due to the lingering effects of the dragonbreath.

That said, the energy density had also reached a shocking level.

Li Luo then understood what was going on.

Clearly, the Five Guardian Armies had a method to allow the normal members of the Guardian Armies to aggregate all of their Star Pearls and activate a formation on the golden lotus platform that would bolster the energy within the pearls.

This method of forceful refinement would increase the density of the energy but would also lead to sdisadvantages, such as the energy becoming more impure.

Refining this sort of energy would require a lot more tand one would also have to consider how they would rid their bodies of any impurities left behind. It was slightly troublesto deal with.

This was the price that had to be paid. At the very least, they would end up with a hundred times more energy than if they absorbed the Star Pearls the normal way.

This was undoubtedly a form of welfare for the Five Guardian Armies. It ensured that even the ordinary Guardians could keep up with the elites who received preferential treatment.

Li Luo curiously observed the scene for a few seconds before he retracted his gaze. That method was not suitable for him, and what he prized was time. He could not bear to refine all of his Star Pearls that way, as the resulting energy was less pure, making it more difficult for him to absorb.

Furthermore, it seemed to only be possible with the aid of a large number of ordinary Guardians and their Heavenly Dragon jades. Not even Li Foluo could utilize that method alone.

With that in mind, Li Luo swiped his hand across his pocket sphere, and the sky above him was suddenly filled with starlight. Hundreds of Star Pearls circled around him and then broke apart, transforming into streams of starlight that entered his body.

Copious amounts of resonant power entered his resonant palaces. Li Luo could feel his Heavenly Resonance Diagram gradually transforming.

He submerged himself so deeply in cultivation that seven days passed without him noticing.

The number of people on the platform gradually receded as the Five Guardian Armies left to continue with their duties.

There were just a handful of people left. They were those who had obtained a bountiful reward and were still engrossed in cultivation.

This included Li Luo.

A huge energy vortex was flowing around him, enveloping his entire body. Although no one could see him, he was giving off majestic energy undulations and others could sense his astonishing progress.

Jiang Qing'e was not far away, and her gaze was trained on the vortex. She had finished cultivating a few days ago. As a Duke with a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, her speed of refinement far surpassed Li Luo.

However, she did not leave, remaining behind to protect Li Luo in case any accidents occurred.

Li Fengyi, Li Hongyou, Li Jingtao, and the rest had similarly remained behind to accompany him, their concern towards Li Luo shown through their actions.

More importantly, the Ceremony of Ascent was just three days away.

"Li Qingbai from the Dragon's Blood Guardians has been spreading nonsense recently. He claims that while Li Luo has talent, a Greater Heavenly Resonance junior should never have taken the position of Grand Commander. In fact, he says that Li Luo abused his status to seek personal gain," Li Fuling said to Li Fengyi.

When she heard this, she frowned. "Li Qingbai doesn't have any face. He's clearly trying to besmirch Third Brother's reputation and performance on the Falling Star Terrace. He just wants to harm him!"

Li Fuling nodded in agreement. "Just based on Li Luo's contributions to the Dragon's Fang Guardians on the Falling Star Terrace, he deserves the position of Grand Commander even though he’s only at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier."

Li Jingtao added, "Li Qingbai is simply looking to build up his own momentum before their battle during the Ceremony of Ascent."

"Li Qingbai is an upper first-grade Duke, so Li Luo doesn't have any advantage over him. If Li Luo does lose, do they really plan to chase Li Hongyou out of the Dragon's Fang Guardians?" Li Fuling asked anxiously.

Li Hongyou, on the other hand, didn't seem to be too concerned. Her gaze remained focused on the gigantic energy vortex. "I believe in Li Luo."

Jiang Qing'e nodded in agreement. "He won't lose."

Li Hongyou helplessly gave a bitter smile. Clearly, their confidence was unmatched. It was as though the gigantic gap in strength between Li Qingbai and Li Luo didn’t even exist.

Hopefully, Li Luo would pull off a miracle. Otherwise, they wouldn't know how to deal with the aftermath of the bet.

Amidst their worries, Li Luo suddenly bellowed. The energy vortex around him began to dissipate, and a magnificent Heavenly Resonance Diagram unfurled in the sky before their eyes.

The Heavenly Resonance Diagram portrayed a surging sea and towering trees that had taken root in brown soil. Thunderclouds loomed above the landscape, the silhouette of a dragon flew inside it. It was rare to see so many resonance affinities on one diagram.

The crowd was also taken aback by this. Seeing the numerous resonances present in a single person was no less shocking than seeing Jiang Qing'e with three light resonances.

At the stime, they saw that the Heavenly Resonance Diagram had reached a width of 84,000 feet. In just a short seven days, his Heavenly Resonance Diagram had increased by more than ten thousand feet. The speed of Li Luo’s growth was simply unbelievable.
