Chapter 996: Cave Dwelling

"Three Palaces, Six Phases Pearl Condensation Art."

Li Luo savored the pearl condensation method flowing through his mind. True to its name, this art was direct: it used three phase palaces and six phase affinities as its foundation, constructing an extremely complex yet highly efficient pearl condensation process.

Although Li Luo had not yet encountered other pearl condensation arts, he could still sense just how profound and complex the one he had obtained was.

In terms of grade, Li Luo felt that even the vast collection of pearl condensation arts within Li Li Tianwang's lineage might not contain a single one that could match it.

However, what astonished Li Luo was... this art was practically tailor-made for him. The coincidence was simply too high.

Could it be that this "Tiangang Wheel" had created it specifically for him earlier? Or did this art already exist, and simply happened to match him, which was why it dropped out?

If it already existed, did that mean that within the ancient Faceless Holy Sect, there had also been someone like him who possessed three palaces and six phases?

Li Luo fell into thought. The Minor Faceless Divine Forging Art could refine an "Acquired Phase," which proved that his kind of "Empty Phase" must have existed before as well. So if there really had been a person with three palaces and six phases in the Faceless Holy Sect back then, it wasn't impossible.

Li Luo's thoughts churned, but he quickly suppressed them. This was not the time to dwell on such things. Regardless, obtaining this "Three Palaces, Six Phases Pearl Condensation Art" was a good thing for him; it would greatly increase his cultivation speed within the Tian Zhu Jing.

Only now did he feel countless gazes, sharp as knives, stabbing into his body, as if trying to pierce him through completely.

Clearly, the appearance of his hundred-zhang radiant "Pearl Condensation Art" had brought tremendous shock to those around him.

This Lingxiang Cave Heaven had been opened several times by now, but never had anyone been heard of obtaining a hundred-zhang radiant "Pearl Condensation Art" here. Such a grade of "Pearl Condensation Art" would surely be extremely rare even among the various Li Tianwang-level powers. And now Li Luo had obtained it right under their noses—this was enough to make anyone green with envy to the extreme.

"That bastard, why does he have such damn good luck?!" Over at the Zhao Li Tianwang lineage, Zhao Zhao Jingyu's eyes were blood-red as he cursed nonstop.

It was one thing that he had obtained a unique opportunity on the Golden Dew Platform earlier, but now at the Tiangang Wheel, he had once again easily obtained a pearl condensation art with such a phenomenon. This kind of fortune really made one suspect whether this Lingxiang Cave Heaven had been opened by him personally.

Zhao Zhao Shenjiang's face was also dark, his brows tightly furrowed. Before entering the Lingxiang Cave Heaven, he had actually not taken Li Luo too seriously. Although the latter had seized the Dragon Head of Li Li Tianwang's lineage in this generation, Zhao Zhao Shenjiang didn't even look up to Li Li Qingfeng—so how could he possibly take seriously a country bumpkin who had returned from Outer Shenzhou?

Originally, he had been full of confidence, determined to forcefully suppress the prodigies of Li Li Tianwang's generation within the Lingxiang Cave Heaven, so that everyone in Tianyuan Shenzhou would know that in this generation's struggle, their Zhao Li Tianwang lineage would hold an absolute advantage.

But Li Luo's appearance had shattered his ambitions.

After the battle on the Golden Dew Platform, Li Luo had revealed strength that was in no way inferior to his own. After completing his breakthrough thereafter, even the arrogant Zhao Zhao Shenjiang had to admit that although he still led Li Luo by one star level, the true strength between them had already reversed to some degree.

And now, Li Luo had once again obtained such a profound "Pearl Condensation Art." One could imagine that henceforth, Li Luo would surely catch up rapidly within the Tian Zhu Jing.

At that time, the gap in strength between them would be widened once again.

Thinking of this, killing intent surged in Zhao Zhao Shenjiang's eyes. He turned his gaze to Zhao Yan and said in a dark voice, "Cousin Zhao Yan, this Li Luo has tremendous potential; he will surely be a threat in the future."

Zhao Yan glanced at him and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course, find an opportunity to kill him within the Lingxiang Cave Heaven." Zhao Zhao Shenjiang said coldly.

Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Li Li Tianwang's lineage also has strong forces. That Li Li Lingjing has achieved Nine-Star Tian Zhu, and her strength is not inferior to mine. Add to that Li Li Wuyuan..."

"So we need to ally with Qin Li Tianwang's lineage. That Qin Qin Lian has deep enmity with Li Luo's parents. I don't believe she hasn't given Qin Yi some orders to deal with Li Luo." Zhao Zhao Shenjiang said.

"Ally with Qin Li Tianwang's lineage, huh..." Zhao Yan's eyes lit up, somewhat tempted, then his gaze drifted toward a stunningly beautiful figure not far away.

It was Qin Yi.

And at this moment, Qin Yi was also staring at Li Luo's figure with calm eyes. Earlier she had thought Li Luo would return empty-handed this time, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Li Luo had obtained an extraordinary "Pearl Condensation Art."

"Could it be a pearl condensation art that matches Li Luo's three palaces and six phases?" Even Qin Yi, with her extraordinary experience, could not help but feel amazed, because even their Qin Li Tianwang lineage did not possess such a complex pearl condensation art in their collection.

"This Li Luo really does have quite good fortune, or rather, his fortune within this Lingxiang Cave Heaven is truly not bad?" Qin Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

"Moreover, since separating from that Golden Hall, his strength has indeed improved tremendously. It should be the effect of the Golden Dew Platform, right? I did hear that he defeated Zhao Zhao Shenjiang on the Golden Dew Platform? Such a record is indeed dazzlingly impressive."

Qin Yi sighed softly in her heart. This Li Luo truly possessed heaven-bestowed talent. One must know that he was originally born in that Outer Shenzhou. Although she would not look down on the prodigies of that place just because Outer Shenzhou was far more barren compared to Inner Shenzhou, regardless, the cultivation resources the two sides received were unequal, which would also lead to the same cultivation talent resulting in vastly different final strength.

And Li Luo had stayed in Outer Shenzhou for so many years, yet now, in just about a year, he had caught up to the top practitioners of his generation. This ability absolutely could not be taken lightly.

If possible, Qin Yi actually did not wish to antagonize Li Luo, but due to their respective positions, the hostility between them was ultimately still deeper.

Her mother, who had been domineering for many years, would absolutely never allow her to get close to Li Luo, let alone become friends.

Qin Yi lowered her eyelids, her eyes deep and serene.

As for the many envious and resentful gazes around him, Li Luo turned a blind eye. He and Li Li Fengyi and the others swept down from the high platform and returned to where the people of Li Li Tianwang's lineage had gathered.

And Li Li Wuyuan, Li Li Hongli, and the others were also staring at him fixedly.

They hadn't expected that Li Luo had just gone to obtain a "Pearl Condensation Art," yet in the end he could still create such a huge commotion.

Feeling the covetous gazes cast from all around, Li Li Wuyuan's face twitched slightly. Although they weren't so afraid of others because of this, being implicated and coveted like this was truly a bit helpless.

"Cousin Li Wuyuan, don't worry. Our dignified Li Li Tianwang lineage isn't a soft persimmon. Whoever dares to cause trouble will surely get a taste of our five-branch united iron fist." Li Luo seemed to read his mood and immediately said solemnly to reassure him.

Li Li Wuyuan's mouth twitched slightly. You remember we're all from Li Li Tianwang's lineage now? Why didn't I see you share any of that Lingxiang Golden Dew with us earlier?

"Let's go." In the end, Li Li Wuyuan said one muffled sentence and took the lead forward. The gazes from all around felt like thorns in the back; better to leave quickly.

Li Luo nodded with a smile, expressing his agreement, and then the group all left this place, advancing toward the deeper parts of the Lingxiang Palace.

And as Li Luo and the others headed toward the deeper parts of the Lingxiang Palace, in another location, the girl called Young Lady from the Golden Dragon Treasure House also led her group through some areas filled with strange defensive formations, and finally stopped before a cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling's gate was tightly shut, with energy patterns faintly visible on it. Terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from within, inspiring awe and fear.

At the same time, everyone could feel that this cave dwelling seemed extremely icy-cold. That inexplicable chill made their souls tremble slightly.

And as "Young Lady" gazed at this scene, her eyes, like Binghu, rippled slightly.

However, she did not notice that behind her, the man named Mu Yao was also staring at the cave dwelling, and a strange glint flashed through his eyes.
