Chapter 1548: Great Crystal Saint Arm
"Dean Wang Xuanjin, with such a massive change over there, won't the Academy Alliance send more reinforcements?" Li Luo asked again, his heart filled with sympathy for Old Pang's bad luck.
Wang Xuanjin said helplessly, "How can we send them? Do you think the Outer Shenzhou is only experiencing the Alien Calamity in Great Xia? At the same time, we are also waging war against the Return One Society, so there truly are no more King Realm experts available to provide aid."
Li Luo gave a dry laugh, saying, "I see you seem quite idle. Why don't you go? With your strength at the peak of the Three-Crowned King, let alone that Four-Evil King, even if the 'Eight-Headed Black Demon King' descended, I imagine he couldn't make much of a splash."
Wang Xuanjin laughed and scolded, "Who told you I'm idle? The one staying here is merely a projection; my true body has been confronting the 'Profound Yin Nether King', who ranks among the top three of the Thirteen Nether Kings, for a year. Even so, I am still diverting my attention here to protect you. You ungrateful brat still dare to say I'm doing nothing?"
Li Luo said awkwardly, "This shows that Dean Wang Xuanjin, your strength is extraordinary. Facing a powerful enemy, you can still divert your attention elsewhere, proving your ability far surpasses that of the 'Profound Yin Nether King'."
Wang Xuanjin paid no mind to Li Luo's smooth talk and said, "Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. You two are now at the Peerless Sixth Rank, just one step away from the Peerless Marquis. Speaking of which, you have truly come of age."
The so-called Peerless leaping three ranks indicates that Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's true strength is already enough to rival experts of the Ninth Rank Marquis Realm. Even within those Li Li Tianwang factions, the Ninth Rank Marquis is considered a pillar of support; the title of 'Top Marquis' shows its weight.
Adding that one possesses a Myriad Phenomenon Seed and the other a Primal Seed, their combat power is even more extraordinary. Wang Xuanjin even suspects that if these two little monsters join forces, they might truly have the qualification to wrestle with a One-Crowned King.
Li Luo nodded solemnly and said, "Great Xia is our homeland. If there is trouble there, we will certainly go to aid it."
In the past, our strength was insufficient, lacking the qualification. Now that the two of us have grown, naturally we need to exert our own strength to protect the homeland in our hearts.
Wang Xuanjin appreciated this attitude of Li Luo's and immediately said with a smile, "Before you return to Great Xia, I think it would be better for you to return to the Li Li Tianwang lineage first. It is best to bring some helpers back, after all, the situation over there is very chaotic. The 'Eight-Headed Ghost Demon' has descended many alien species. No one knows if there will be more Alien Kings. If you can borrow some power from the Li Li Tianwang lineage to return, it should be much easier."
"I'm afraid this is the plan Dean Wang Xuanjin you have in mind? Wanting to borrow the power of the Li Li Tianwang lineage to solve the crisis in Great Xia," Li Luo said.
"Eliminating alien species is the responsibility of any faction in the Ten Great Shenzhou," Wang Xuanjin said.
Li Luo also knew this principle, but the Li Li Tianwang lineage side was not calm either. Previously, the Border River Treasure Domain also triggered a massive Alien Calamity that ravaged the border. It is unknown how the situation is now after nearly two years have passed.
However, since Great Xia can hold out a bit longer, perhaps it is indeed time to return to the Li Li Tianwang lineage first, to see Tan Tai Lan and listen to her advice.
"Then let's return to the Li Li Tianwang lineage first to see if we can move more reinforcements," Li Luo nodded slowly.
Wang Xuanjin smiled and said, "Additionally, your friend Lu Qing'er completed her breakthrough half a year ago and was personally picked up by her father."
"Qing'er has already returned to Golden Dragon Mountain? Is her situation okay?" Li Luo was slightly stunned.
"She has fully unleashed the power of the Ice Saint Seed, and the two have perfectly merged. Perhaps before long, this Ice Saint Seed of the Lu lineage will evolve into a Post-Heaven Primal Seed in her hands."
"Of course, she will pay a price for this. From now on, her ice heart will be absolutely ruthless, no longer disturbed by any emotional entanglements," Wang Xuanjin said with a half-smile.
Li Luo felt somewhat melancholy. If they meet again in the future, will the one he sees not be the familiar Lu Qing'er of the past?
"Can this state not be changed?" Li Luo asked.
"When she becomes a King in the future, perhaps there will be a change. But... whether it changes depends on her own will. If she feels this is good, then naturally it will not change."
Li Luo fell silent.
The atmosphere became somewhat oppressive for a moment.
"There is one more thing." Wang Xuanjin broke the oppressive atmosphere, his voice suddenly shifting.
"What?" Li Luo looked over in confusion.
"Can you leave the bronze ancient lamp in your hand? There may still be traces of that person inside. The five Kings of the Academy Alliance said that placing it on the remains might nourish them. Although it won't resurrect them, perhaps some secrets from the ancient era regarding the destruction of the Formless Saint Sect can be obtained from it."
Li Luo was stunned, then extended his palm. The bronze ancient lamp he obtained from the Spirit Phenomenon Cave appeared, but now the ancient lamp appeared extremely dim, with no fluctuations inside. The traces of Senior Wang Taixi seemed to have completely vanished.
Keeping this object in hand indeed holds little significance anymore.
Li Luo turned to look at the deepest part of the Sky Mirror Tower. In that void, the ancient remains belonging to Wang Taixi floated silently, emitting boundless pressure.
After thinking for a few breaths, he handed the bronze ancient lamp to Wang Xuanjin.
"I thank you on behalf of the Academy Alliance for your contribution," Wang Xuanjin said, taking it with a smile.
Li Luo pouted and said, "Is verbal thanks lacking in sincerity?"
"Then what do you want?" Wang Xuanjin said impatiently.
"Do you have a Peerless Technique compatible with the Crystal Phenomenon?"
"..."
"None? Can you give two portions of the Ninth Rank Spirit Water Strange Light?"
"..."
"Give me a King-level Treasure. You don't have that either? Then..."
However, this time, before Li Luo could finish speaking, Wang Xuanjin waved his sleeve. Instantly, space twisted and the heavens and earth inverted. When Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge came to their senses, the two had already appeared before a massive teleportation array outside Sky Mirror City.
"Exit from here, and you will arrive at the Tianyuan Ancient Academy. From there, leave and head to the Li Li Tianwang lineage."
Wang Xuanjin's slow voice came from the half-sky.
As his voice rang out, a wisp of crystal light fell from the half-sky. Li Luo hurriedly reached out to grab it, and an ancient crystal jade appeared in his hand.
"This Marquis Technique was passed down from the Formless Saint Sect. It is said that the legendary Sect Master once cultivated it. Since you have now birthed the Crystal Phenomenon, it is compatible with you. Consider it a gift."
When Li Luo grasped that ancient crystal jade, a torrent of information surged into his mind. After a cursory glance, key information was imprinted in his heart.
Top Grade Si Si Tianming Level Marquis Technique: Great Crystal Saint Arm.
Li Luo was stunned, then his face lit up with joy. It was actually a Top Grade Si Si Tianming Level Marquis Technique, and it seemed compatible with the Crystal Phenomenon power. This was a good thing. After all, the strongest power in his body had now become the Mid-Ninth Rank Crystal Ice Phenomenon. If he cultivated this technique, it would undoubtedly enhance his means of fighting enemies.
Old Wang was still quite generous; he didn't just take advantage of him for free.
So he immediately clasped his hands towards the void and smiled, "Thank you, Dean Wang."
Afterwards, he no longer delayed. Grabbing Jiang Jiang Qinge's hand, he walked directly into the teleportation array before them. The next moment, surging energy erupted, and amidst the violent distortion of space, the two figures vanished.
