Chapter 1065: Empyrean Chronicle
Under the arrangements made by Li Jingzhe, Li Luo stealthily departed the Dragon's Fang Mountain Range the next day. No one besides the Lineage Chief was informed of his absence.
In order to keep his departure under wraps, Li Luo did not board the extravagant and eye-catching flying vessel of the Dragon's Head, instead opting for a regular flying ship.
Two stoic and silent Dukes accompanied him under Li Jingzhe's direction to act as his bodyguards and escort him to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.
Evidently, Li Jingzhe had spared no expense for this trip.
Li Luo had caused quite a stir recently. Not only had his performance in the Spiritual Resonance Cave been exceptional, he had also managed to pass the Ancestor's challenge. These achievements had naturally caused him to enter the sights of the various powers of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.contemporary romance
As such, it was necessary to keep secrecy and a low profile so that Li Luo's planned course of action could not easily be discovered by outsiders.
A flying vessel fueled by worldly natural energy shuttled across the azure sky unhurriedly. The silhouettes of other similar ships were visible in the distant clouds.
Li Luo sat in the cabin of the flying ship, guzzling worldly natural energy and cultivating with his eyes shut.
Four Heavenly Pearls orbited like stars behind him, absorbing the worldly natural energy at an astonishing rate and funneling it into Li Luo's body.
Next to the fourth Heavenly Pearl was a dim orb of light. It seemed like a new Heavenly Pearl was taking form within the ball of light.
It was Li Luo's fifth Heavenly Pearl.
One of the results of the great battle with the Ancestor was that Li Luo's strength was once again refined. He was now only one step away from the five-pearl tier.
After cultivating like this for an hour, the glowing Heavenly Pearl behind Li Luo began to gradually dim before turning into a wisp of light that returned into his body.
Li Luo opened his eyes. He examined the strength of the resonant power in his body and said to himself, "At this rate, I might be able to truly break into the five-pearl tier by the time I arrive at the Heavenly Origin Ancient College."
If he were still in the Astral Sage College, he would be equivalent to the top elites of the Four Star Hall and might even be able to compete for the position of the Seven Astral Pillars. But the Heavenly Origin Ancient College was even more prestigious. He estimated that a student at the top of the Four Star Hall would probably be at the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier. When compared like this, the gap between a sage college and an ancient college was really apparent.
Going by age, Li Luo would currently only be at the Two Star Hall! Still, a five-pearl Heavenly Pearl Tier student in the Two Star Hall would be rather uncommon even in an ancient college, wouldn't it?
But it was said that the true gap between the ancient colleges and the sage colleges was not at the Four Star Hall, but... the Heavenly Star Hall.
This was where the true heart and soul of every ancient college laid.
Students who were able to enter the Heavenly Star Hall were known as Heavenly Star Seedlings, and the probability of them entering the Duke Stage in the future was far higher than the other students.
Therefore, each and every Heavenly Star Hall student was a genius that the ancient colleges would invest countless resources and hopes on.
Li Luo was curious about this topic and wanted to see for himself what was so special about the students of the Heavenly Star Hall during this trip to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.
Using his mind, Li Luo summoned a tome made of yellowed animal skin paper and pried it open. It was a map of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent that was so extremely vast and detailed that the amount of information within could cause the reader's eyes to sting.
The Heavenly Origin Divine Continent was vast beyond imagination, and the four main bloodlines of the Heavenly Emperors each occupied their own vast area within the Central Core Divine Continent. The combined number of cities and populations under their command were as multitudinous as the stars.
In layman's terms, each bloodline was its own mega empire.
The Central Core Divine Continent was the main landmark of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, and it was ruled by the four Heavenly Emperor powers.
However, the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent did not comprise only the Central Core Divine Continent.
In addition to the huge central region, there were also various outer domains that were equally vast and astonishing, filled with countless dangers and scattered with countless forces both small and large.
The Heavenly Origin Ancient College was well respected in the western region of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. The college had stood here for most of history and possessed so much unquestionable prestige that even the four Heavenly Emperor bloodlines had difficulty extending their influence into that region.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Origin Ancient College was a neutral party and had never participated in disputes, only quietly cultivating its students and ceaselessly eliminating Others.
Apart from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College in the Western Region, there were also many huge empires and sects. None of those forces were weak, with the top few possessing King-level powerhouses.
Li Luo carefully studied and etched the information of the many forces within the western region to memory. He had to exercise caution despite having the backing of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.
"There's still a really long distance to travel."
Li Luo stared at the route between the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and the Heavenly Origin Ancient College on the map. Even though they had a flying ship at their disposal and would also utilize the teleportation arrays of some cities along the way, it would still take about half a month to arrive at the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.
He sighed, rolled up the map, and took out another book. This one was golden in color, exquisitely shaped, and had three ancient characters on it.
Heavenly Origin Records.
This was a great codex written by the Golden Dragon Bank that included vast amounts of information about the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. The book was sought after by many people, from Dukes down to Earth Fiends, as all of them were interested in the newest information in the codex.
Because having one's name appear on the Heavenly Origin Records meant that one's reputation was rising in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.
Li Luo opened the Heavenly Origin Records and flipped directly to the Empyrean Chronicle.
Quickly scanning through, he recognized some familiar names. "Fairy of Water, Qin Yi" was the most striking name, and her description within it was also very beguiling.
At the same time, Zhao Shenjiang's name was also present, though not much was written about him. Most of the notes described his lower ninth-grade resonance, which was perhaps the only reason why he was on the list.
After roughly skimming through, Li Luo flipped to the newest page, and his eyes froze.
There, he spotted an extremely familiar name.
Li Luo, Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Grandson of Li Jingzhe, the Dragon's Fang Lineage's Lineage Chief. Son of Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan. Possesses triple resonances. Displayed unparalleled talent in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, dispatching Tian Miao and gravely injuring Zhao Yan despite only being a three-pearl. Utilized the power of a great spirit beast to kill a True Devil that had infiltrated the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Suspected of encountering a King from the Origin Reversion Institute and living to tell the tale.
After returning from the Spiritual Resonance Cave, he led the Green Nether Banner to break the Fiendish Devil Cave clearance record left by Li Taixuan. While doing so, he challenged and ultimately overcame one of Heavenly Emperor Li Jun's intents in layer seventy-two This man originated from a resource-strapped outer divine continent, yet he was able to outperform many young geniuses who were privy to the resources of the inner divine continent, displaying terrifying potential and unrivaled drive. Perhaps in the future he will emulate his father and become a shadow over the hearts of the many heavenly prides of the same generation.
Li Luo quietly finished reading about his extremely remarkable achievements. The section dedicated to him was extremely thick, much more so than Zhao Shenjiang's and even Qin Yi's.
A little too thick, even.
Especially the last sentence, the evaluation.
Death by compliments.
Li Luo knew that if a regular person was faced with such paragraphs evaluating them in the Empyrean Chronicle, they would definitely be proud and fall into the trap of complacency.
Originated from a resource-strapped outer divine continent, yet he was able to outperform many young geniuses who were privy to the resources of the inner divine continent? Wasn't this implying that the geniuses of the inner divine continent were all trash?
How would this affect the pride of the talents of his generation?
These inflated and bombastic words would definitely make Li Luo the man of the hour in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, but it would also make him a prime target of hate and jealousy.
"There are people in the Golden Dragon Bank who harbor ill intentions towards me," mused Li Luo as he put away the Heavenly Origin Records.
"Is it Mu Yao?"
Li Luo remembered Mu Yao, whose plans he had ruined in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. That person's grandfather was the Grand Elder of the Golden Dragon Bank's headquarters in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, so he possessed unimaginable influence. If there were clandestine instructions from him, then the person who had authored the Heavenly Origin Records would naturally not dare to refuse.
Li Luo's gaze was calm, and he smiled faintly.
Death by compliments would only affect someone who held himself in too high a regard, but to Li Luo... these compliments were simply big, empty words.
