Chapter 1659: The Pseudo Ten-Rank Light Aspect

The clear moonlight pierced through the thin clouds and fell upon a courtyard in Lu Lan Mansion, driving away much of the decaying atmosphere.

Dan Sheng stood with her hands clasped behind her back, gazing at the young man and woman who had followed her up. Of course, her gaze lingered more on Jiang Jiang Qinge, whose slender figure, exquisite curves, and holy, flawless features drew the eye.

Especially those mysterious, deep golden eyes of hers, which made even Dan Sheng feel slightly dazed.

It was as if she had once again seen the figure who stood at the pinnacle of that era.

Dan Sheng flicked a finger, and colored light flowed out, enveloping the courtyard and cutting off all prying eyes.

"Li Luo, that 'Divine Fruit Wind Aspect' within you is far too vast and immense for you. This is not a power you can bear. If you attempt to refine it, it would be like a python trying to swallow an elephant." Dan Sheng turned her gaze to Li Luo, first bringing up the "Divine Fruit Wind Aspect" within him.

Li Luo nodded. He had previously tried in secret to make some contact with the "Divine Fruit Wind Aspect" sealed within his fifth Aspect Palace, but the result was disappointing. That "Divine Fruit Wind Aspect" completely ignored him, and around it swirled an extremely terrifying "Rank Power"—no, strictly speaking, this should even be called "Divine Fruit Rank."

One tier higher than the Rank possessed by ordinary Li Li Tianwang-level beings.

Li Luo did not dare to recklessly stir up this "Divine Fruit Rank Power," fearing that if he triggered it, even a slight exhalation of the Rank Power would utterly destroy the foundations within his body.

"Speaking of which, when Jiang Li Tianwang left, he didn't ask how to handle this 'Divine Fruit Wind Aspect' either," Li Luo said.

"He didn't forget to ask. He saw through my method of sealing the 'Divine Fruit Wind Aspect' within you, so he understood my choice. He didn't want to quarrel with me over this 'Divine Fruit Wind Aspect,' especially since you also have a grandfather who just recently ascended to Li Li Tianwang by your side, so in the end he chose to do me a favor." Dan Sheng said calmly.

"Of course, it's also because of your own extraordinary potential. Perhaps this 'Divine Fruit Wind Aspect' falling into your hands will yield even greater results in the future."

Only then did Li Luo realize—it wasn't that Jiang Li Tianwang had forgotten how to handle this "Divine Fruit Wind Aspect," but rather that he had given Dan Sheng and his own grandfather face.

"I humbly ask Senior Dan Sheng for guidance—how can I refine this 'Divine Fruit Wind Aspect'?" Li Luo asked respectfully.

"Once you've cleaned up all matters here, prepare for a closed-door cultivation. I will set up a wondrous formation to aid you in refining the 'Divine Fruit Wind Aspect.' However, I must warn you—this refinement will likely take a very long time. Be prepared," Dan Sheng said.

Li Luo was stunned. Previously, in the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda, refining that portion of the "Divine Fruit Crystal Aspect" had taken him a year and a half. Judging by this, the time required this time would be even longer?

Still, if he could refine the "Divine Fruit Wind Aspect," it would be worth it.

"Thank you, Senior." Li Luo showed gratitude on his face. This Senior Dan Sheng had truly been very good to him, though he didn't know if this goodwill came from the Bai Bai Mengmeng she was temporarily inhabiting.

Dan Sheng waved her hand. That pure, pretty face belonging to Bai Bai Mengmeng was now covered in solemnity. She raised her head, gazing at the spatial rift at the edge of the sky, and said, "The Convergence Battle of this era has already begun. The world will be filled with chaos in the future. You should also prepare for this."

"You need to guard against Yin Qingkun and the Convergence Society. His ultimate goal should be to find all of the Sect Master's aspects, then have the Source of All Evil within the coffin devour them, ultimately breaking through the seal the Sect Master laid down."

"Once this terrifying existence breaks free, no one in this world will be able to check it."

Li Luo's gaze turned solemn. "All of that Sect Master's aspects were left behind completely intact?"

He found this hard to believe. After all, even a Li Li Tianwang-level being, once fallen, would find it difficult for their own aspects to resist the erosion of the long ages and remain imperishable.

Dan Sheng nodded slightly.

A great wave surged within Li Luo, and he couldn't help but press further: "How many aspects did the Sect Master possess in total?"

From what was currently known, the Sect Master possessed the Crystal Aspect, the Annihilation Aspect, and the Light Aspect—these three were all single aspects, while the Wind-Fire Aspect was a dual aspect.

"The Sect Master bore six Aspect Palaces," Dan Sheng said slowly, revealing the greatest secret of the world.

Li Li Tianwang-level beings in this world normally possessed four Aspect Palaces. Only a very few could be born with five Aspect Palaces. The Sect Master went a step further beyond this, bearing six Aspect Palaces.

"Six Aspect Palaces..." Li Luo couldn't help but marvel at this. After all, even with his unique heaven-defying talent, he currently only possessed five Aspect Palaces. However, if he could step into the Li Li Tianwang realm in the future, he would be able to bear six Aspect Palaces, just like that Sect Master.

"Then, the aspects?"

Dan Sheng glanced at him and did not conceal it: "Among the Sect Master's six Aspect Palaces, three are single aspects and three are dual aspects."

"Besides the Crystal Aspect, Annihilation Aspect, Light Aspect, and Wind-Fire Aspect you already know, there are two more dual aspects hidden in the world."

"Those two aspects are called the 'Withering-Flourishing Aspect' and the 'Void-Mist Aspect.'"

Li Luo's heart trembled. The aspects of that Sect Master had always been a secret of heaven and earth, and now, at this moment, these aspects were finally fully revealed to the world.

"The Withering-Flourishing Aspect represents decay and prosperity. Though they are two opposing aspects, they merged into a single dual aspect—truly wondrous."

"As for this 'Void-Mist Aspect'..." Li Luo looked at Dan Sheng with some confusion.

"Void is space, Mist is fog. When the two merge, they become Void-Mist. In the primordial era, the Sect Master spread mist across the world, and the mist walked through the world. Wherever the mist was, no matter where in the world, the Sect Master could arrive in an instant."

"Additionally, the mist that obscured that segment of the long river of years regarding the secrets of the Faceless Holy Sect was also the power of the Sect Master's Mist Aspect."

Li Luo sucked in a cold breath. So it was a Space Aspect—such a rare aspect, he had only seen it with Dantai Lan. As for the Mist Aspect, it was also extraordinarily terrifying. The mist it emitted prevented countless Divine Fruit Li Li Tianwang of later generations from glimpsing any trace of the Faceless Holy Sect through the ages.

That legendary Sect Master was truly fierce beyond measure.

"Then where are the Withering-Flourishing Aspect and Void-Mist Aspect hidden?"

Dan Sheng shook her head. "That is not something I can know, after all, that was after I was sealed. However, with the great changes in heaven and earth imminent, these two aspects cannot remain hidden forever. Sooner or later, they will reveal traces."

"And once these two aspects are revealed, Yin Qingkun and the 'Evil Annihilation Aspect' formed by his fusion with the 'Source of All Evil' will surely fight for them with all their might, hoping to break the seal while strengthening themselves."

"If that 'Evil Annihilation Aspect' truly obtains the Sect Master's other aspects, it will likely walk even further down the path of extremity. At that point, there will be no hope left in this world at all."

Li Luo's expression also grew solemn. "Such important information should be told to Jiang Li Tianwang. Dealing with the 'Evil Annihilation Aspect' in the future will also require the Li Li Tianwang of the ten Outer Shenzhou."

"I have already secretly given this information to Jiang Li Tianwang. Additionally, the 'Evil Annihilation Aspect' has already stepped into the 'Pseudo Ten-Rank.' If it breaks its seal, no Li Li Tianwang in the ten Outer Shenzhou will be able to check it."

"Except for her." Dan Sheng's gaze slowly settled on Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Li Luo's expression shifted slightly. He forced a smile and said, "What does Senior Dan Sheng mean? Sister Jiang Qinge is only at the Seventh-Rank Unparalleled right now. Even a Li Li Tianwang can't handle the 'Evil Annihilation Aspect'—how could she check it?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge's slender jade hand slowly tightened. She glanced at Li Luo, then spoke slowly: "The Light Aspect?"

She was so intelligent that from the words of the two, she had already formed some guesses. Of course, perhaps these guesses had long since surfaced in the depths of her heart, just never spoken aloud.

Dan Sheng nodded gently and said to Li Luo, "Some things cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try to hide them. That 'Evil Annihilation Aspect' should have already learned of this information."

Li Luo gave a bitter laugh. "So, that 'Light Aspect' of the Sect Master's is indeed within Sister Jiang Qinge's body?"

As his words fell, Li Luo felt Dan Sheng's gaze become somewhat strange. That look left him bewildered, and suddenly fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

A chill suddenly spread throughout his entire body.

And immediately after, Li Luo heard Dan Sheng's eerie voice drift over.

"It's not that the Light Aspect is within her body, but rather... she is that one of the only two Pseudo Ten-Rank aspects in the world—the Light Aspect."
