Chapter 993: Lingxiang Palace

When the rainbow light transformed from Li Luo pierced through the cloud wall, he could clearly feel the space distort instantly, and after he came to his senses, he was already standing on a plaza like white jade.

His gaze swept around, revealing a palace so towering it defied description standing before him, and a person standing beneath it was as insignificant as an ant.

Moreover, from this towering palace, Li Luo sensed an extremely dangerous aura, because strange array light patterns were faintly visible everywhere on the palace; the power of these strange arrays was terrifying, and they seemed to remain intact to this day.

Compared to this place, the Golden Great Hall they had encountered before was truly a case of a dwarf meeting a giant.

According to Li Luo's guess, even if a Marquis-level powerhouse came to this palace, they would not dare to force their way in.

And while Li Luo was marveling at the grandeur of the palace before him, figures were continuously being teleported onto this white jade plaza; Li Li Lingjing, Li Li Fengyi, Li Jingtang, and others all appeared not far away.

Everyone hurriedly gathered together; seeing this, it seemed the cloud wall was a teleportation point, and passing through it would directly teleport one to this place.

"This should be the Lingxiang Palace." Li Li Fuling examined the towering palace before her and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lingxiang Palace?" Li Luo asked.

Li Li Fuling nodded and said, "This Lingxiang Palace should be the core of the Lingxiang Cave Heaven; it possesses extremely terrible defenses, and many guardian strange arrays remain undamaged. It is said that in the past, King-level powerhouses from various factions descended with avatars to probe it, but none were confident in dismantling the strange arrays here without destroying the Lingxiang Cave Heaven."

"After years of continuous expansion by various factions, up to now, only some peripheral areas of this 'Lingxiang Palace' can be probed; the deeper regions are completely dared not to be entered."

Li Luo nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the white jade plaza, and as more and more figures appeared, he suddenly saw some familiar silhouettes; it was Li Li Wuyuan, Li Li Qingfeng, Li Li Hongli, and others.

At the same time, Li Li Wuyuan also spotted them and immediately walked over with his people.

Li Li Wuyuan was currently in high spirits, looking as if he had gained quite a few benefits previously; his gaze swept over Li Li Lingjing, Li Luo, and others, and he smiled faintly, "I thought you would fall behind, but I didn't expect you to actually break through; it seems the journey was relatively smooth and you didn't encounter strong enemies blocking you."

Li Li Fengyi felt displeased seeing this fellow and said in a bad mood, "We encountered Zhao Yan and his group; it wasn't as easy as it was for you."

Li Li Wuyuan was stunned and said, "Zhao Yan didn't attack you?"

He then waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter; since we have reunited, we are not afraid of Zhao Yan and his group. On the Golden Terrace, I made a breakthrough and now have half a foot stepping into the Tian Xiang Jing."

Hearing this, Li Luo glanced at him; no wonder his momentum was stronger than before, it turned out he had half a foot stepping into the Tian Xiang Jing, but buddy, you are still half a step behind Zhao Yan; although part of it was because Zhao Yan used medicine, that was still a true Tian Xiang Jing.

"Brother Li Qingfeng also broke through to the Three-Star Tian Zhu Jing and even vaguely condensed a fourth Void Pearl." Li Li Hongli interjected, while her gaze swept across Li Luo, seemingly somewhat proud.

Beside her, Li Li Qingfeng's expression remained relatively calm; he stared at Li Luo and asked, "With your talent, you should have gained a huge improvement on the Golden Terrace as well?"

Li Luo modestly said, "I am still a bit behind you; now I barely reach the Three-Star Tian Zhu Jing."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Li Qingfeng's expression froze, and Li Li Wuyuan, Li Li Hongli, and others were all shocked: "You are already at the Three-Star Tian Zhu Jing?"

When entering the Lingxiang Cave Heaven, Li Luo was only at the Extreme Sha Jing; how could he suddenly leap across so many realms?

"What is this? Before Third Brother broke through, he chopped off one of Zhao Zhao Shenjiang's arms; after completing the breakthrough, he fought Zhao Zhao Shenjiang again, and with just one move, he defeated him even though he had stepped into the Four-Star Tian Zhu Jing." Li Li Fengyi said with a smile.

"What? You defeated Zhao Zhao Shenjiang and even severed one of his arms?!" Li Li Qingfeng found it hard to believe; Zhao Zhao Shenjiang possessed a Lower Ninth-Rank Power Image, his strength looking down on peers and geniuses of his generation; even if he encountered him, he could only retreat three steps, yet Li Luo could fight him at the Extreme Sha Jing and even sever one of his arms?!

"Zhao Zhao Shenjiang was indeed a strong enemy; I exhausted all my means to barely win by a hair's breadth."

Li Luo smiled and said, "However, my small achievement is nothing compared to Cousin Li Lingjing; she has now condensed a Nine-Star Tian Zhu, and even Zhao Yan, who successfully broke through to the Xiao Tian Xiang Jing with the help of the 'Hua Xiang Pill', could not gain any advantage in her hands."

Upon hearing this, the teams of the Dragon Blood, Dragon Bone, and Dragon Horn lineages immediately fell into silence, and shocked gazes were directed at the silent Li Li Lingjing.

Even Li Li Wuyuan's face twitched violently; staring at Li Li Lingjing, he said with a dry mouth, "You have stepped into the Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing?!"

The Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing could be called the peak of the Tian Zhu Jing; it required extremely astonishing foundation and potential to enter. Li Li Wuyuan had also harbored this ambition when breaking through this time, but unfortunately, the final result was similar to Zhao Yan and others, so he could only choose to break through, finally stepping half a foot into the Xiao Tian Xiang Jing.

If the previous Li Li Wuyuan could still feel that Li Li Lingjing was just an unorthodox practitioner who hadn't entered the Dragon Heaven Five Guards and held some contempt for her in his heart, then at this moment, he had to admit that the foundation and talent Li Li Lingjing displayed far surpassed his.

After all, geniuses who achieved the Nine-Star Tian Zhu were few and far between even within the Dragon Heaven Five Guards.

Li Li Lingjing held the Green Snake Staff and smiled lightly, "Thanks to this 'Bamboo Green Snake Staff' that Cousin Li Luo gave me, I was able to fight Zhao Yan of the Tian Xiang Jing."

Hearing this, everyone's gaze swept over, and at a glance, they saw the three mysterious purple marks on the 'Bamboo Green Snake Staff'; immediately, their eyelids twitched.

"A Three-Purple-Eye Treasure; Li Luo of the Dragon Head is truly generous." Someone muttered.

Li Luo looked at Li Li Lingjing helplessly; there was no need to keep bringing this up, did she feel like she was doing it on purpose?

And facing Li Luo's gaze, Li Li Lingjing simply smiled and pretended not to see it.

Li Li Wuyuan remained silent for quite a while, then forced a smile and said, "Then I truly congratulate you all."

His originally upright momentum weakened at a visible speed at this moment, because he had originally intended to use this great increase in strength to suppress the momentum of the Dragon Tooth Lineage and then naturally take command of the team, but who knew that the Dragon Tooth Lineage was not inferior; although Li Li Lingjing had not stepped into the Tian Xiang Jing, the weight of this Nine-Star Tian Zhu was heavier than a typical Xiao Tian Xiang Jing.

Li Li Hongli's pretty face was also fluctuating; the words originally at her lips were swallowed back, and the pride in her beautiful eyes turned into resentment.

And the people of the Dragon Bone and Dragon Horn lineages nearby also had shifting eyes; how did the strength of the Dragon Tooth Lineage suddenly seem to be surpassing the Dragon Blood Lineage? Could it be that the Dragon Tooth Lineage was about to rise in the future?

Li Luo smiled and said, "Cousin Li Wuyuan, since everyone has gathered again, let us walk together from now on; this place is full of dangers, and the people of the Qin Li Tianwang lineage are watching us hungrily; splitting up would be even more dangerous."

The strength of the Qin Li Tianwang lineage could not be underestimated; Zhao Yan had also stepped into the Tian Xiang Jing, posing a significant threat, and more importantly, the Qin Li Tianwang lineage was also a hidden danger, especially Qin Yi; if they allied with the Qin Li Tianwang lineage, it would not be good news for our Li Li Tianwang lineage, so now that we have met Li Li Wuyuan and his group, Li Luo naturally would not let them leave again.

After all, blood is thicker than water; at least if we get beaten, we should get beaten together.

Li Li Wuyuan nodded listlessly; he had originally planned to go together as well, since at this time forces from various factions had already begun to gather, and there was no reason for them to scatter.

However, facing the increasingly dominant Dragon Tooth Lineage, he clearly began to feel that leading the team was becoming difficult; his authority here had been severely weakened, and any order would be blocked.

Li Luo did not pay attention to Li Li Wuyuan's emotions; he only needed these sandbags to help block the shots, and at this moment, his gaze suddenly moved, looking up at another part of the white jade plaza.

Amidst the noisy crowd, he saw a girl wearing a thin veil, surrounded by a group of people, casting a pair of bright and cold gazes from far away.

The girl's skin seemed a shade whiter than snow; she wore an indigo dress with lively golden thread patterns embroidered on the edges, simple yet magnificent, her slender and graceful figure outlining a heart-stirring curve.

Li Luo met this gaze and felt slightly dazed, because from it, he sensed a familiar flavor.
