Chapter 1493: Thunder-Spirit Frog-Croak Pill

At the peak of Light-Finger Peak, an indescribable sacred radiance erupted at this moment, with Jiang Jiang Qinge as its source, sweeping outward in an endless stream. Within that light-phase force, it was as if Buddhist chants resonated, and all the energies of heaven and earth that came into contact with it would be purified into the most pure light-attribute energy.

And in the peak region, the light-attribute energy between heaven and earth was already the most concentrated, and at this moment, these light-attribute energies were stirred one after another, as if ministers paying homage to their sovereign, circling around Jiang Jiang Qinge, transforming into endless radiant stars.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's slightly closed eyes slowly opened at this moment.

Within those golden pupils flowed a sacred quality, as if a deity were gazing down upon all living beings, carrying an indifference and a heavy sense of detachment.

However, this feeling only lasted for a few breaths. Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze regained its liveliness, and the light-phase force pervading her body likewise subsided. She withdrew her hand from the Tome of Light before her.

The Tome of Light then floated back before the slightly dazed Fifth Mingxuan, awakening him at the same time.

Fifth Mingxuan, who had come back to his senses, took a deep breath. He first put away the Tome of Light, then looked at Jiang Jiang Qinge with a complicated gaze. He had never seen anyone comprehend the origin power of light in such a manner.

What does it mean that light is me, and I am light?

What an arrogant, what an ignorant perception is this?

One must know that such a perception, arising from the heart, cannot be achieved merely by spouting big words. Once this perception is branded in the heart, it must be maintained continuously. But on the path to marquis-hood, on the path to kingship, there are far too many, far too many terrifying things. And when facing those great horrors, can this perception remain unshaken?

At the very least, Fifth Mingxuan did not dare to issue such a comprehension and perception, because he knew he could not bear the burden.

If he truly did so, he might never be able to set foot in the King realm in his entire life.

Yet what he did not dare to do, Jiang Jiang Qinge did.

Moreover, she had smoothly turned to the seventh page of the Tome of Light, which proved that she had truly branded this comprehension upon her own heart of light, and used it to wield light-phase force.

Within Fifth Mingxuan's complicated gaze was a trace of admiration. He knew that if Jiang Jiang Qinge could truly overcome the many horrors upon that cultivation path, her future achievements would undoubtedly be extraordinarily astonishing.

At the very least, the mere fact that she had turned to the seventh page of the Tome of Light proved that Jiang Jiang Qinge possessed the qualification to set foot in the King realm. What she currently lacked was perhaps merely insufficient power.

The day she made up for that deficiency in power, stepping into the King realm might be but a thought away.

Such a prodigy was destined to shine brilliantly upon the path of light. However, in this Heavenly Mirror Martial Discussion, the two were destined to be opponents, because here on Light-Finger Peak, this first-clear opportunity could still be yielded by Fifth Mingxuan, but if the Supreme Light Art were to appear...

Then it would be a contest for the Great Dao.

Under this great opportunity that concerned whether he could become a king in the future, regardless of who stood in his way, Fifth Mingxuan would draw his edge and contend with them.

Fifth Mingxuan took a deep breath, stepped aside to clear the path leading to the Mirror Altar, and said: "Instructor Jiang Qinge, you win. This first-clear opportunity is yours."

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded slightly, then beckoned Ning Meng, Yin Yue Zhiyu, and the others from behind. Under the gaze of many astonished eyes, they ascended along the steps and finally arrived at the top of the Mirror Altar, where a mirror surface rippling with water waves also stood.

Jiang Jiang Qinge turned her head, her gaze looking toward the direction of Thunder-Finger Peak, wondering how things were going on Li Luo's side.

"What is this?"

After Li Luo's hand reached into the mirror surface, he felt something fall into his palm. He then withdrew his hand, and a golden statue roughly the size of a palm appeared in his grasp.

The statue was a golden frog. Many thunder patterns were inscribed upon the golden frog's body, and its large pupils seemed to be formed from lightning, dazzlingly radiant.

While Li Luo was curiously examining it, the thunder golden frog suddenly opened its large mouth. From within its mouth, it spat out a golden pill roughly the size of a thumb. The pill was exceedingly mysterious; within its interior, it seemed to contain a world of thunder, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, as if depicting the scene when heaven and earth first opened, all things were in chaos, and thunder was born.

Li Luo reached out a finger and pinched this golden pill. Immediately, a stinging pain shot through his fingertip, and he could not help but be moved, because he sensed what tremendous, pure thunder-attribute energy was contained within this pill.

Moreover, faintly, within the rumbling of thunder, there was also a strange sound of frog croaking.

And just as Li Luo was wondering, the golden pill in his hand transmitted a piece of information that fell into his heart.

"Thunder-Spirit Frog-Croak Pill, refined using the 'Thunder-Roaring Divine Frog' as its primary material, then stored in a place rich with thunder to absorb thunder-attribute energy for a hundred years before it can take shape. Within it, a small thunder realm has been nurtured. Thunder sound and frog croak merge, capable of spawning 'Thunder-Sound Frog-Croak', which has the miraculous effects of tempering the flesh and stimulating the bloodline."

When Li Luo saw the four characters 'stimulate the bloodline', his pupils could not help but contract. Then, an irrepressible look of pleasant surprise welled up in his eyes, because this 'Thunder-Spirit Frog-Croak Pill' was clearly an extremely perfect match for the 'Dragon Blood Ancient-Trace Art' he cultivated.

Although he had previously condensed the second 'Heavenly Dragon Seal', he had also felt the difficulty involved. This time, he had still relied on the special thunder-attribute energy here at Thunder-Finger Peak to complete this step. But going forward, if he wanted to condense a third, or even a fourth, a fifth Heavenly Dragon Seal, what was he to do?

This superior Heaven-rank marquis art, even within the Heavenly King lineage, could be called top-tier. Since Li Luo had the fortune to cultivate it, he naturally wished to cultivate it to the Great Perfection realm; otherwise, it would be too much of a waste.

And now, the appearance of this 'Thunder-Spirit Frog-Croak Pill' had shown him hope.

"Truly worthy of being an inheritance originating from the Formless Holy Sect. This first-clear opportunity is practically tailor-made," Li Luo marveled inwardly, then he unhesitatingly swallowed this 'Thunder-Spirit Frog-Croak Pill' into his abdomen.

The pill entered his belly and curled up in one spot. As the phase force within his body washed over it wave after wave, gradually, a sound resembling thunder rumbling and frog croaking spread within his body.

Boom!

Wherever that sound passed, the flesh and blood all over Li Luo's body seemed to grow scorching hot. Faintly, a vibrant vitality surged forth from within the flesh and blood, and at the same time, from deep within his bloodline, some restlessness emerged.

Hoo.

Li Luo exhaled a long breath, his eyes exceedingly bright. A fine treasure, truly a fine treasure.

Such a wondrous item, if placed at an auction of the Golden Dragon Treasure House, would likely cause countless top forces to spend a heavy price to vie for it.

This first-clear opportunity was truly marvelous, and had not been in vain after all his fighting for it.

Moreover, this thirty-first layer already held such a treasure. Going forward, what else might there be?

A strong sense of anticipation involuntarily arose in Li Luo's heart.

Thinking this, Li Luo stepped aside. Lv Qing'er, Li Hongyou, Instructor Xi Chan, and the others also stepped forward one after another, reaching their hands into the mirror surface where ripples were spreading.

In the end, they each obtained a share of opportunity.

And as they took away the first-clear opportunity of Thunder-Finger Peak, the thunderclouds pervading the peak above immediately began to recede. A bolt of lightning shot up into the sky from the mirror surface before them.

Lightning flowed across the mirror surface, and then, as if a crack, it spread from the middle, transforming into a thunder portal.

Li Luo and the others understood that this thunder portal led to the thirty-second layer.

He turned his head to look at the distant rear, and saw Zhou Jun, whose face was overcast with gloom, leading his team in a rapid approach. The murderous aura emanating from his eyes could be felt from a great distance.

Clearly, Zhou Jun had also seen Li Luo take the first-clear opportunity, and his heart was surely filled with raging fury.

Li Luo smiled and waved at him, then cast his gaze toward the distant Light-Finger Peak, where he saw a pillar of light also piercing through the clouds, causing the dazzling radiance there to recede.

Then Li Luo saw Jiang Jiang Qinge's figure standing atop the Mirror Altar.

Clearly, the first-clear opportunity of Light-Finger Peak had also fallen into Jiang Jiang Qinge's team's hands.

"Impressive."

Li Luo gave a thumbs-up toward her from afar. What Jiang Jiang Qinge had to face over there was Fifth Mingxuan; the difficulty of this person was likely even greater than Zhou Jun's. For Jiang Jiang Qinge to be able to obtain the first-clear opportunity in competition with him, this ability was truly extraordinary.

Jiang Jiang Qinge over there also sensed Li Luo's gaze. Her red lips parted slightly, though no sound came out, but the latter understood her meaning.

"See you on the thirty-second layer."

Li Luo smiled and nodded, then without further hesitation, took the lead and stepped directly into the thunder portal before him.

And Lü Qing'er, Li Hongyou, and the others quickly followed.

The flickering Lei Guang swallowed their figures whole.
