Chapter 1482: The Two Women's Aid, Cultivating the Sky Thunder Bamboo

Within Tianjing City, four resplendent pillars of energy, after persisting for a moment, finally gradually dissipated, but the shock they had triggered still reverberated among the various squads throughout the entire city.

At a certain estate within the city, Diwu Mingxuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back on a plaza, while in the distant corridor, numerous mentors of the Divine Sun Ancient Academy had gathered to watch, erupting in cheers and applause.

Song Jing slowly fanned the crimson fan in his hand, his figure appearing beside Diwu Mingxuan, a trace of envy on his face as he said: "Congratulations, Mentor Diwu, on once again forging a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform, taking another step forward on the path of the Unparalleled."

Although Song Jing was now a top-tier Marquis Realm expert of the Upper Eighth Rank, a strength that could be considered first-rate no matter where it was placed in the Inner Shenzhou, facing Diwu Mingxuan, who had now Enter Sixth Rank while simultaneously forging three Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms, he did not dare to be the slightest bit overconfident.

Because Song Jing understood that with this breakthrough, Diwu Mingxuan's true strength would become extremely terrifying, and it might even surpass that of veteran experts like themselves.

Diwu Mingxuan's gaze withdrew from the three pillars of energy dissipating in the distant horizon, and he sighed: "My path of the Unparalleled is already broken. Unless I find a great opportunity in the future to recast those three Nine-Pillar Marquis Platforms, there will be no hope of becoming an Unparalleled Marquis in this lifetime."

He was now at the Sixth Rank Marquis Realm, but had only forged three Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms. Yet to achieve the Unparalleled Marquis, one needed at the very least seven Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms as a foundation.

Therefore, even if his next three Marquis Platforms all achieved Ten Pillars, this path of the Unparalleled could not lead to the Hou De Jing Zhong Jie of the Unparalleled Marquis.

Moreover, there was no possibility that his remaining three Marquis Platforms would all reach Ten Pillars.

After all, he himself knew best that even the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform he had forged this time was due to relying on an opportunity given to him by his teacher, the Radiance King.

But such an opportunity existed only once.

Song Jing was momentarily speechless, then comforted him: "The Unparalleled Marquis is indeed a kind of glory, but with your current foundation, even if you don't walk this path, there is still the possibility of stepping into the King level in the future. This is still an extremely bright Great Dao, no worse than the path of the Unparalleled."

If he could have a foundation like Diwu Mingxuan's, he would probably laugh himself awake even in his dreams.

Diwu Mingxuan did not answer. The path of the Unparalleled Marquis, from ancient times to the present, had always been the supreme and strongest path. Even if one achieved Li Li Tianwang in the future, a Li Li Tianwang who emerged from the path of the Unparalleled would be far more domineering than a Li Li Tianwang who came from the path of the King level.

That was a true extreme.

It was just that this extreme was too rare. With experience like Song Jing's, one simply could not fathom its power. Even Diwu Mingxuan himself had only occasionally heard of it from the mouth of his teacher, the Radiance King.

"Jiang Jiang Qinge has also forged a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform," Diwu Mingxuan said slowly, a hint of wariness surfacing on his face.

The reason he had chosen to use the opportunity given to him by the Radiance King for this breakthrough was, in fact, primarily because of his wariness toward Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Because Diwu Mingxuan's goal this time was to obtain the "Radiance Unparalleled Art" at the Tianjing Martial Discourse.

This was also the task—or rather, the test—assigned to him by his teacher.

If he could obtain that "Radiance Unparalleled Art" and comprehend and master it, then in the future, he would be able to go further on the path of the King level.

And only then would his teacher, the Radiance King, give him more cultivation and support.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to obtain that "Radiance Unparalleled Art."

And Jiang Jiang Qinge possessed three Ninth-Rank Radiance Aspects. This art was also a tremendous opportunity for her, so she would surely come to compete for it.

"Unparalleled Fourth Rank..."

Diwu Mingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, then he said to Song Jing: "Mentor Song Jing, when the time comes at the Tianjing Martial Discourse, I may still need you to help me intercept irrelevant people."

Song Jing slowly fanned the crimson fan in his hand, bringing waves of scorching wind, and said with a faint smile: "Rest assured, when the time comes, I absolutely won't let anyone disturb you."

Diwu Mingxuan nodded in thanks, then cast his gaze once more toward the distant place where the pillars of light had vanished.

Jiang Jiang Qinge, this Radiance Unparalleled Art is a contest of the Great Dao. I absolutely will not yield it to you!

In the cultivation chamber, the vast and powerful energy fluctuations were still rippling like waves.

Jiang Jiang Qinge and Lv Qing'er were the first to slowly open their eyes, a touch of joyful light welling up within them.

After all, being able to forge a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform was a very significant matter for them.

The two women sensed each other waking up, their gazes involuntarily meeting for a moment before shifting away the next instant, turning toward Li Luo's location.

Then they saw that Li Luo was still in a state of closed-eyed meditation, but before him, a five-colored clay basin was actually suspended in the air. The basin emanated an enigmatic aura, and within it was a Sky Thunder Bamboo with Lei Guang flowing through it.

At the same time, above Li Luo's head, the third Ten-Pillar Golden Platform he had previously forged had also shrunk into a miniature form, spinning round and round.

On that Ten-Pillar Golden Platform, wisps of differently colored auras were flowing down at this moment.

These auras emitted faint Origin fluctuations.

Between Li Luo's palms, a vigorous flame burned, and these differently colored mystical auras fell into this flame, being tempered by it.

Immediately after, wisps of faint divine smoke rose from the flame, drifting toward the Sky Thunder Bamboo in the five-colored clay basin.

And the Sky Thunder Bamboo, absorbing this divine smoke, actually began to slowly grow, becoming thicker and sturdier, while the Lei Guang flowing through it emitted a resounding roar.

"What is he doing?" Lv Qing'er asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Jiang Qinge, however, knew the reason. The Sky Thunder Bamboo in the five-colored clay basin was formed from the remnant aura of Li Li Jingzhe, and Li Luo had previously told her that to cultivate the Sky Thunder Bamboo, he needed to use special means to form a special "Myriad Aspects Qi."

And that "Myriad Aspects Qi" was born from this Myriad Aspects Fire. Presumably, the Unparalleled aura flowing with Origin Qi served as a catalyst nutrient—the thicker the Unparalleled aura, the thicker the Myriad Aspects Qi born from it.

And at the instant the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform was forged, some extremely Origin-adjacent mystical power would be born from the self-aspect. This was the Unparalleled aura. These Unparalleled auras would, in the days to come, gradually merge into the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform, reinforcing its foundation and roots.

"He is doing something very important to him," Jiang Jiang Qinge simply explained briefly. After all, it wasn't easy for her to tell Lv Qing'er that the Sky Thunder Bamboo was the key to the rebirth of Li Luo's grandfather, Li Li Jingzhe.

Lv Qing'er didn't ask further, just quietly watched.

However, just at this moment, the expressions of Jiang Jiang Qinge and Lv Qing'er suddenly shifted slightly, because they sensed a strange suction force emanating from the flame in Li Luo's palm.

"Eh?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze shifted slightly. Above her head, the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform she had just forged also appeared, and at this moment, some Unparalleled aura emanating a sacred, pure aura was slowly flowing on this Ten-Pillar Golden Platform, seemingly about to surge toward the flame in Li Luo's palm.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiang Qinge was delighted rather than alarmed. This indicated that some of the Unparalleled aura born on the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform she had just forged could actually be attracted by Li Luo's Myriad Aspects Fire.

And with her Unparalleled aura, wouldn't Li Luo be able to refine more Myriad Aspects Qi to supply the Sky Thunder Bamboo's absorption?

Jiang Jiang Qinge also held great respect for Li Li Jingzhe. This elder had indeed doted on these juniors to the utmost, especially Li Luo, so much so that even his fall this time was to protect them.

Therefore, Jiang Jiang Qinge stepped forward without hesitation, extending her slender hand to grasp one of Li Luo's hands, and the Unparalleled aura flowing on the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform she had just forged above her head also surged entirely toward that Formless Fire.

With Jiang Jiang Qinge's participation, the "Myriad Aspects Qi" surging out from the Formless Fire immediately became much denser.

Li Luo's eyes also opened in some surprise at this moment. He looked at Jiang Jiang Qinge, and then a brilliant, warm smile surfaced on his face.

At the same time, he said inwardly: "Grandfather, your granddaughter-in-law is also contributing to your resurrection."

And just at this moment, a figure suddenly crouched down on Li Luo's right side—it was Lv Qing'er.

Her beautiful face was covered in an aloof expression, but she extended a hand as fair as cold jade, facing Li Luo's other palm. Above her head, the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform cast as if from cold ice flowed down wisps of aura emanating the Origin of frost.

Together, they joined that Formless Fire.

Li Luo was somewhat surprised, and quickly said: "Qing'er, this Unparalleled aura is extremely precious. You should keep it to consolidate your Marquis Platform."

Lv Qing'er said coolly, "You helped me forge a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform. Is it wrong for me to return a wisp of Unparalleled Qi to you?"

Li Luo was dumbfounded, then gave a dry laugh and nodded.

The cultivation room fell silent once more.

Only the low rumble of thunder from the slowly growing Sky Thunder Bamboo echoed softly.
