Chapter 1496: Intercepting the Stars to Seize Creation

When Lü Qing'er saw Li Luo waving at them, her expression became slightly unnatural, and deep within her eyes, a few hints of shame and indignation were hidden.

She absolutely would not admit that what she had seen in the mirror pillar earlier was what was truly in her heart.

It must have been the mirror pillar influencing her mind.

Lü Qing'er silently urged the power of the Sacred Ice Seed within her heart. That power radiated outward, causing the temperature around her to plummet, and Li Hongyou and Xi Shuan beside her couldn't help but step back two paces.

However, under the influence of this icy power, Lü Qing'er's expression gradually returned to one of cold indifference.

The distracting thoughts in her heart were all frozen away.

Li Luo walked toward the three women and smiled: "Congratulations on reaching the thirty-third floor."

"I didn't expect even I could sneak into this thirty-third floor. The thirty-second floor of this Sky Mirror Martial Discussion was a bit easier than before." Instructor Xi Shuan was somewhat surprised. Even she herself hadn't expected she could clear the thirty-second floor alone.

Previously, her ability to clear the Nine-Finger Peak of the thirty-first floor was entirely due to Li Luo's protection. Otherwise, with her strength as a Fifth Rank Marquis, she could never have gotten past those terrifying bolts of thunder blocking the way.

So after entering the thirty-second floor, she had practically given up. But who would have thought that the thirty-second floor wasn't a combat trial, but rather a checkpoint that questioned one's true heart.

This gave her a chance.

"This shows that Instructor Xi Shuan has a firm heart, unshaken by external forces. Instructors Cao Sheng and Mi'er seem to have been eliminated." Li Luo said.

At this moment, Cao Sheng and Mi'er had yet to appear, clearly having been eliminated on the thirty-second floor.

This mirror pillar's questioning of one's true heart was inherently a rather mystical trial. Here, even an Eighth Rank Marquis-level powerhouse could be eliminated. Conversely, someone like Li Hongyou, a Second Rank Marquis with a firm heart, could also slip through.

"It seems my luck isn't bad, but even if I've made it here, I basically can't take another step forward." Instructor Xi Shuan chuckled lightly. This thirty-third floor was the highest point reached by the many top powerhouses within the Academy Alliance in over a hundred years. Whatever trial appeared here, it was not something she could handle.

Moreover, she didn't plan to continue relying on Li Luo's protection to advance. After all, once they reached this point, the top powerhouses from all sides would fight to the death for opportunities. If she kept following Li Luo, she would only become a burden.

"After passing the thirty-second floor, my own resonant power seems to have become somewhat more abundant." Instructor Xi Shuan changed the subject, speaking with a hint of delight.

Li Luo nodded. He had felt the same thing. That questioning of the true heart earlier had been like a baptism. Once passed, one's resonant power received some enhancement.

Although this enhancement was far from enough to lift him from the lower three ranks to the upper three ranks, it could still save him several months of bitter cultivation.

At this, Li Luo could only marvel once more at the wondrous nature of the Sky Mirror Pagoda.

However, the true great opportunity would likely still be within this thirty-third floor.

Li Luo raised his eyes. At this moment, this plaza held only a few sparse figures, but every single one of them radiated extremely powerful resonant power fluctuations.

Among them, Li Luo saw Zhou Jun, Sheng Que'er, Song Jing, Lin Ju, and other top Marquis-level powerhouses of the upper eight ranks.

Diwu Mingxuan and Lü Ruyan were also present.

What slightly surprised Li Luo was that he actually saw Guo Guo Jiufeng's figure among those people.

This Vice Principal from the Holy Light King Academy of the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou had also reached the thirty-third floor.

However, since even Li Hongyou and Xi Shuan had slipped in this time, the appearance of Vice Principal Guo Guo Jiufeng, a Sixth Rank Marquis, here seemed rather reasonable.

But Li Luo then recalled what Jiang Jiang Qinge had said earlier, and couldn't help but raise a slight guard in his heart. Could this Guo Guo Jiufeng really have some problem?

He pondered briefly but found no answer, so he stopped thinking about it. After all, this was inside the Sky Mirror Pagoda, and there were three King-level powerhouses from the Academy Alliance overseeing things. Even if Guo Guo Jiufeng had some problem, it wasn't something he should be worrying about.

Then Li Luo raised his head and saw that in the void above, countless stars seemed to be twinkling. Those stars radiated a wondrous mysterious light, giving one an inexplicable sense of enchantment.

And at this moment, Li Luo saw purple mist flowing down from the horizon, transforming into ancient characters in midair.

Everyone focused their attention to look.

"Heaven sends down a host of stars; intercept the stars and seize creation."

The crowd murmured it in their hearts, their eyes showing contemplative colors. So the stars in the sky were the source of opportunity on this thirty-third floor? These stars would fall, and to obtain the opportunity, one had to intercept the stars?

Li Luo smacked his lips. As expected of the high-end game of the thirty-third floor. This move was quite grand and magnificent.

Boom!

Just as Li Luo was marveling, this world had already begun to tremble. From the edge of the sky, among those countless stars, one after another began to fall, transforming into massive fireballs that streaked across the horizon.

The energy of the entire world became violent at this moment.

Moreover, everyone could faintly sense that on those falling stars, some dazzling treasure-light seemed to appear.

There might be wondrous pills beyond count, or top-grade spiritual water and strange light, numerous top-grade Marquis treasures, even King-level strange materials, and Marquis Arts of the Si Si Tianming Grade or even the Unparalleled Grade!

Greedy desire rose thickly in the eyes of everyone present.

However, with so many stars falling, how could one find the ones containing true opportunity?

Li Luo looked toward Jiang Jiang Qinge and asked in a low voice: "Can you sense any Unparalleled Arts?"

If he had come to this Sky Mirror Pagoda for the "Great Non-Phase Divine Forging Art," then Jiang Jiang Qinge had come for the Light Unparalleled Art. So Li Luo also wanted to help her achieve her wish.

At Jiang Jiang Qinge's smooth brow, the "Ancient Tracing Resonant Pattern" condensed, flowing with sacred light. Her brilliant golden eyes seemed to pierce through everything at this moment, sweeping toward those falling stars with overwhelming momentum.

After a moment, she shook her head slightly and said: "Among these falling stars, I didn't sense any fluctuation of the Light Unparalleled Art."

Jiang Jiang Qinge's own Light Heart was sacred and pure, giving her a keen sensitivity to that Light Unparalleled Art. Now that she had sensed this, it meant these stars did not contain an Unparalleled Art.

Hearing this, Li Luo was also somewhat disappointed. It seemed the Light Unparalleled Art couldn't simply be found by reaching the thirty-third floor. But thinking about it, it was normal. If Unparalleled Arts were so easy to find, that would be underestimating the word 'Unparalleled' too much.

"However..."

And at this moment, Jiang Jiang Qinge's red lips suddenly parted slightly, and a rare fiery emotion rose within those golden eyes.

"There does exist a Light Unparalleled Art here!"

Li Luo was stunned. What did she mean? Hadn't she just said there was no fluctuation of the Light Unparalleled Art among those falling stars? Huh... He suddenly understood, and his gaze sharply shot toward the edge of the sky, because there were still some dazzling stars there, quietly suspended, showing no sign of falling.

Jiang Jiang Qinge meant that there was no Light Unparalleled Art among those falling stars, but those stars that hadn't fallen contained great creation.

So it turned out that the good stuff, they don't drop down for you.

Li Luo said helplessly: "It seems that on this thirty-third floor, to obtain an Unparalleled Art, one still has to rely on luck. The star hiding the Unparalleled Art has to fall before it can be intercepted."

But right now, they didn't seem to have that good fortune.

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang Qinge shook her head slightly, a strange light flickering in her eyes: "That may not be the case."

She parted her red lips slightly and spoke slowly.

"If the treasure star does not fall, I shall draw it down myself."

Li Luo's eyes suddenly went wide. The star hiding the Unparalleled Art won't fall, so you're going to draw it down yourself? Is it that wild?
