Chapter 1193: Ninth Rank Water Light Aspect

The commotion caused by the Creation Divine Slurry lasted for a full seven days.

During these seven days, Li Luo had nothing much to do, after all he couldn't intervene in the replenishment of the "Creation Divine Slurry," so he could only watch.

Apart from the initial tension, Li Luo was relatively relaxed for the rest of the time. After all, his greatest worry had been attracting covetous outsiders, but within the Dragon Fang Mountain Range, with Li Li Jingzhe overseeing things, Li Luo could naturally rest completely at ease.

So during these few days while the Creation Divine Slurry was replenishing itself, Li Luo even began to find time to cultivate the "Red Dragon Departing Fire Banner."

As for the true "Three Dragon Heavenly Banner Codex," he had coveted and lusted after it ever since he first came into contact with the "Black Dragon Dark Water Banner."

Now, after much effort, he had finally gathered these three Marquis Arts completely, and he was eager to cultivate them.

However, cultivating the "Red Dragon Departing Fire Banner" required the power of the fire aspect. Li Luo actually didn't quite meet this requirement, so he still needed to use a fire-attribute energy oddity as a medium.

But Li Luo had also had a sudden inspiration, wanting to try whether the "Small Non-Phase Fire" within his body could replace that fire-attribute oddity.

Now, he began his formal attempt.

It wasn't smooth at the start. Li Luo tried for a long time, but the "Small Non-Phase Fire" coiled within the mysterious golden wheel remained unmoved. However, he didn't give up, persisting in his attempts to communicate with it. After repeated failures, the "Small Non-Phase Fire" seemed to finally grow utterly annoyed, and he managed to draw out wisps of flame.

Then Li Luo was pleasantly surprised to discover that the energy drawn from the "Small Non-Phase Fire" indeed contained fire-attribute energy.

Moreover, the "Small Non-Phase Fire" also contained a special effect of burning phase force.

If the "Red Dragon Departing Fire Banner" was powered by the "Small Non-Phase Fire," the resulting Marquis Art might also contain this special effect, which would undoubtedly elevate its killing power to another level.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

So Li Luo became even more motivated, beginning to familiarize himself with the operational trajectory of the "Red Dragon Departing Fire Banner," and attempting to integrate the "Small Non-Phase Fire" into it.

However, this was clearly no simple matter. So even with Li Luo's phase arts talent, he failed repeatedly. Violent, scorching energy explosions kept erupting in the cultivation chamber, blasting him until he was covered in soot.

But Li Luo remained enthusiastically immersed in it, even momentarily forgetting about the "Creation Divine Slurry" that was being replenished.

Fortunately, this was a mature "Creation Divine Slurry." It didn't need Li Luo to worry about it, and would automatically complete the final steps.

Another seven days passed like this.

Calculating the time, half a month had passed since Li Luo began replenishing the Creation Divine Slurry.

At a certain moment, a sudden anomaly startled Li Luo from his immersion in cultivating the "Red Dragon Departing Fire Banner." He raised his head somewhat blankly, looking at the golden cauldron before him.

He saw that within the cauldron, the golden divine slurry that had originally filled it had completely vanished, replaced by a golden pill about the size of a baby's fist.

The surface of the golden pill was somewhat translucent. Through the outer layer, one could see some agile golden slurry flowing within it. This slurry was incredibly wondrous, as if constantly transforming earth, wind, water, and fire, presenting a mysterious appearance like the primordial chaos first opening.

Li Luo stared at that pill wrapped in golden slurry, his throat couldn't help but roll, and an indescribable sense of covetousness and longing rose from his heart.

The three phase palaces within his body erupted with unprecedented rumbling, the aspects evolving within them also straining, as if about to lose control.

That mysterious golden pill was undoubtedly the greatest temptation in the world for aspects.

If an Eighth Rank Aspect absorbed it, it could leap straight to Ninth Rank, and a true Lower Ninth Rank at that, not a Pseudo Ninth Rank!

One must know that Li Hongxiu had spent years of accumulation to elevate her Pseudo Ninth Rank Crimson Heart Vermillion Fruit Aspect to Lower Ninth Rank, and only managed to complete the leap from Pseudo Ninth Rank to Lower Ninth Rank with the assistance of that bottle of Pseudo Ninth Rank Spirit Water Odd Light from Li Luo.

And if going from Eighth Rank to Ninth Rank, what terrifying accumulation would that require?

At the very least, Li Luo felt that evolving was truly exhausting.

Even for a freak like him, who could absorb Spirit Water Odd Light without limit due to his Empty Phase, he was utterly drained by these successive aspect elevations.

Hum!

While Li Luo was marveling, the golden pill within the golden cauldron suddenly trembled, as if emitting a strange sound wave that continuously spread outward.

The sound wave penetrated numerous defenses and spread out.

At this moment, Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongxiu in the small building were the first to sense this strange sound wave, and the expressions of the two women couldn't help but change.

Because under this sound wave, they even felt the impulse to break into the cultivation chamber.

However, Jiang Qing'e quickly suppressed this emotion. A solemn expression appeared in her eyes. What exactly was Li Luo refining? This sound wave was full of temptation, making one unable to resist harboring evil thoughts and attempting to snatch it.

After all, one must know that even she was stirred by a sliver of emotion, so what about others?

This could only mean that whatever Li Luo was refining at this moment was of tremendous benefit to everyone.

Jiang Qing'e's gaze turned to Li Hongxiu, a hint of wariness rising in her eyes.

And Li Hongxiu's eyes showed a subtle struggle at this moment. After a few breaths, she closed her beautiful eyes, exhaled deeply, and faint cold sweat appeared on her fair brow.

Then she didn't dare stay in the small building any longer, and quickly left through the door.

The spread of the sound wave wasn't limited to the small building. At this moment, within the Dragon Fang Mountain Range, quite a few Marquis-level powerhouses were also stirred, looking with strange expressions toward the small building where Li Luo was.

But in the end, no one overstepped, because they all saw the figure of an old man standing in the air above the small building.

Li Li Jingzhe lowered his head for a look, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void to see the golden pill within the golden cauldron. Immediately, a trace of subtle shock appeared on his cold, stern face: "Such a wondrous divine object, this must be an ancient relic, right? Where did this kid Li Luo get it from?"

Li Li Jingzhe himself was a Double Crown King, naturally well-traveled and knowledgeable, but even he was seeing this Creation Divine Slurry for the first time.

"Quickly swallow and refine this object. The divine object has already gained a spirit and possesses the ability to bewitch. If it were outside, it would bewitch others to fight over it, thereby giving it a chance to escape." Li Li Jingzhe's voice pierced through the void and went straight into Li Luo's ears.

Li Luo, hearing Li Li Jingzhe's reminder, also got a jolt. As expected of a divine object passed down from the Non-Phase Sacred Sect, it was actually so bizarre, even able to bewitch others to fight over it.

He once again rejoiced that he wasn't replenishing the Creation Divine Slurry at the Heavenly Origin Ancient Academy, otherwise the consequences would truly be hard to predict.

So he no longer hesitated. His phase force directly knocked off the lid of the golden cauldron, and he reached out to grab that golden pill in his hand.

The pill kept trembling, trying to escape.

"I went through all that trouble to replenish you, and you think you can get away?"

Li Luo grinned, directly stuffing the golden pill in his hand into his mouth, then wrapping it with heavy phase force and swallowing it into his stomach.

Immediately, his expression turned solemn as he sat down cross-legged, because at this moment, he felt a vast, pure, and wondrous power erupting within his body.

That power was somewhat similar to Spirit Water Odd Light, but even more refined and agile.

All three phase palaces were trembling wildly, trying to draw that power in.

But Li Luo forcefully suppressed this trembling. He pondered slightly, then, as he had previously planned, channeled all of this power into the Water Light Phase Palace.

He had long decided to elevate this Acquired Aspect, the first one he ever possessed, to Ninth Rank first!

Ninth Rank Water Light Aspect!

Under Li Luo's expectant gaze, rolling pure energy poured into the Water Light Phase Palace.

The next moment, within the Water-Light Aspect Palace, earth-shaking changes also began to occur.

The bright, clear lake within it was now swelling and expanding at a startling speed, rolling white waves spreading ceaselessly through the Aspect Palace.

Giant waves churned, the sound of water shaking the heavens.

The lake was transforming into an ocean.

And within those rolling waves, dazzling radiance emerged; radiance layered upon the surging water made it appear all the more translucent and pure, and faintly, these clear waves carried a sacred, purifying fluctuation.

Suddenly, a massive column of water shot skyward from this ocean flowing with radiance, and atop that column, a blurred figure of light appeared.

Looking closely, that figure of light seemed identical to Li Luo, but its entire body was a pale blue, and covered throughout with radiance-like patterns.

And with the appearance of this figure of light, this Water-Light Aspect Palace was instantly filled with a mysterious charm, as if the entire palace had become more stable because of it.

At this moment, a sudden inspiration struck Li Luo, and he understood what this figure of light was.

That was the... Spirit Envoy, representing a ninth-grade aspect!

A more spiritual evolution of an aspect.

This is the Water-Light Spirit Envoy.

At this moment, boundless joy and satisfaction welled up in Li Luo's heart, because he knew that the boy with the empty aspect of back then, after so many years of effort, had finally obtained a ninth-grade aspect he had once only dreamed of.

Ninth grade, Water-Light Aspect.
