Absolute Resonance

Besides, the Respected Elder had shared with him how important the Spiritual Resonance Cave was. If he wanted to grab onto this opportunity, he would need to boost his combat capabilities considerably.

As such, Li Luo was determined to maximize his opportunities in the Fiendish Devil Cave before anything else.

……

On the Fiendish Devil Peak of the Dragon\'s Fang Mountain Range.

Many banner members were gathered in circles in the field before the Fiendish Devil Cave, chatting amongst themselves. Their eyes were fixated on a screen on the wall of the mountain.

They stared at the top spot on the rankings.

In first place were two names.

Green Nether Banner. Gold Blood Banner.

It was not a common sight to see two banners tied, even in the past. More importantly, the banner members around the field knew that this stalemate would likely come to an end today.

Li Luo had led the Green Nether Banner into the Fiendish Devil Cave just an hour ago. Looking at his air of confidence, he was surely planning to conquer the sixty-third layer in one go.

If he succeeded, the Green Nether Banner would become the first one to clear layer sixty-three. They would then wrench the position of first from the Gold Light Banner and stand alone at the top!

As such, the banner members of the other three banners were not interested in their own Fiendish Devil Cave expeditions at this point in time. They waited anxiously for the result. After all, the Green Nether Banner belonged to the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage. Their lineage had been held down by the Gold Blood Banner all this while, so if they could emerge on top, it would signify a huge comeback for the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage.

Sitting in the stone pavilion on the side of the field, Li Jingtao and Deng Fengxian watched the screen without batting an eyelid.

"I heard that Li Qingfeng is leading his Gold Blood Banner to conquer layer sixty-three as well. He must be trying to stop the Green Nether Banner," Deng Fengxian commented.

With a smile, Li Jingtao replied, "It looks like the other banners are not entering the cave either. They\'re all planning to watch the show."

Deng Fengxian nodded in confirmation. Li Qingfeng was clearly unhappy that Li Luo had become the Dragon\'s Head. He would surely try his best to keep the top spot in the Fiendish Devil Cave to himself and prevent an overwhelming defeat in all aspects by Li Luo.

"Layer sixty-three is not an easy one. There is a huge number of Fiendish Devils running around. On top of that, the strength of the Fiendish Devil Leader is close to that of a third-grade Duke. Although it\'s not a real third-grade Duke, it\'s still way stronger than the previous Fiendish Devil Leader," Deng Fengxian said.

"I think Banner Leader Li Luo may be acting a little too hastily. He can always wait until the Spiritual Resonance Cave is over before he attempts layer sixty-three. That would make it a lot easier."

Hearing this, Li Jingtao nodded in agreement. "That is the conservative way. However, Third Brother wanted to clear layer sixty-three before the Spiritual Resonance Cave not because he wanted to bring down Li Qingfeng. I think what he truly wants is the rewards from that layer."

Deng Fengxian was stunned to hear this. "The Pill of Enlightenment?" he asked.

The reward for clearing layer sixty-three was an extremely rare pill known as the Pill of Enlightenment. If used during one\'s cultivation of resonance arts, it would allow one to have an easier time understanding and comprehending a particular art.

"Third Brother must be making his preparations for the Spiritual Resonance Cave," Li Jingtao said.

Deng Fengxian nodded. This had to be the reason. After all, he understood that the Spiritual Resonance Cave would draw in numerous talents across the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. Although Li Luo had become the Dragon\'s Head, it would not give him much of an edge in front of all the other elites.

"Oh, right, where is Banner Leader Li Fengyi?" He turned around and scanned the surroundings. There was no trace of Li Fengyi at all.

"She went to receive the visitors from the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians," Li Jingtao told him.

"Oh? The people from Dragon\'s Fang Guardians are coming today?" Deng Fengxian asked in surprise.

Li Jingtao nodded and continued, "The one coming today should be the previous head of the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage\'s four banners, Cousin Li Fuling."

Deng Fengxian rubbed his chin a little as he asked, "If I recall correctly, that senior used to be the Banner Leader of the Crimson Cloud Banner, right? She was renowned, and the Crimson Cloud Banner shone resplendently under her leadership."

Li Jingtao smiled and said, "Fengyi is personally acquainted with her as well, thus she\'s gone to accompany her."

Deng Fengxian\'s eyes lit up at this moment. "If I remember correctly, Li Fuling has another odd hobby, right?"

Li Jingtao smiled helplessly when he heard this. He nodded in confirmation and replied. "Yeah, she\'s another one of those Taixuan fanatics..."

Cousin Li Fuling might have been generations apart from Third Uncle Li Taixuan, but she always praised the invincible Li Taixuan. This was mainly due to her mother\'s admiration for him.

Her mother had inculcated within her since she was young that Li Taixuan was invincible, especially in his generation! Few were as formidable as he was.

……

As Li Jingtao and Deng Fengxian were chatting, Li Fengyi noticed a flying boat cruising through the clouds on an elevated platform in a corner of the Dragon\'s Fang Mountain Range. A smile appeared on her charming face.

"Fengyi."

A clear and crisp peal of laughter rang out across the flying board. Following this, a figure jumped down and landed on the elevated platform.

She was youthful and tall with long, slender legs, dressed in a dark-red battlesuit that tightly wrapped around her curves. Coupled with her snow-white skin, she was extremely charming to the eye.

Her long hair was neatly tied up in a scorpion-tail braid that reached down to her rear.

Li Fengyi\'s eyes lit up immediately as soon as she saw her, and she smiled. "Cousin Fuling, it\'s been a long time since we last met. I bet you have gotten a lot more admirers in the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians."

Hearing this, the lady known as Li Fuling revealed an enchanting smirk and took two steps forward. She pulled Li Fengyi\'s arms and complained, "Stop teasing me. The Dragon\'s Fang Guardians are so busy and dangerous, it\'s not at all like the Twenty Banners. I won\'t have time to think about all that. Besides, how could anyone in the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians catch my attention? Even the four major leaders barely warrant a second look."

Li Fengyi laughed and replied. "Yes, yes, you\'re right. If you\'re looking for someone that looks like Third Uncle, you\'ll never find anyone in the Heavenly Dragon\'s Five Lineages, let alone the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians."

Li Fuling was not shy about it at all. She responded frankly, "That\'s true. The magnificent air of Main Hall Master Li Taixuan is so exceptional that no one else since the start of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li has come close to it."

Hearing this, Li Fengyi couldn\'t help but laugh out loud. She could almost imagine the expressions on the faces of the men who had tried to win her cousin’s heart but got rejected by her and then told that they were not as good as Li Taixuan.

“Cousin Fuling, our Third Uncle may be exceptional, but our generation has a pretty good guy too. Have you heard about him?" Li Fengyi said.

Li Fuling was not too surprised by her question. "I have. You\'re referring to the son of Main Hall Master Li Taixuan. His name is Li Luo, right? Apparently, he defeated the replica of Li Taixuan during the Battle of the Dragon\'s Head. The news spread like wildfire even amongst the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians."

Li Fengyi was a little surprised upon hearing this. It did not seem like Li Fuling was particularly interested in the news. In fact, she seemed to be a little opposed to it.

With a slight smile, Li Fuling continued, "Although he has the blood of Main Hall Master Li Taixuan flowing within him, there is only one true Li Taixuan in my eyes. He\'s far from being comparable. Additionally, he\'s still a Fiend Finisher, right? Although it\'s admirable that he could win against someone above his level, Main Hall Master Li Taixuan was already leagues above him when he was at this age. So don\'t you dare say he\'s like Li Taixuan."

Hearing this, Li Fengyi was at a loss for words for a moment. This fanatic was only crazy about Li Taixuan. Even with his background, Li Luo was nothing in her eyes. Strangely, she even seemed to have something against him because of it.

The human heart was truly complicated.

Li Fengyi did not know how to react, but she did not speak any further. She turned around and led the way forward.

"You\'ve returned to the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage just in time for a grand show."

"What show?" Li Fuling asked.

With both her hands behind her back, Li Fengyi smiled so wide that her eyes nearly closed, and she replied proudly, "You\'ll get to see how the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage will regain the top spot on the Fiendish Devil Cave rankings after countless years!"
