Chapter 0938: Embryonic Sword Shadow

.

The reason the Pill of Enlightenment was so important to Li Luo was because it would allow him to cultivate the second Dragon Fang Sword of the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation: the Wood Dragon Fang Sword!

Out of the three primary resonances he possessed, he still had to make Dragon Fang Swords for the wood and dragon resonances.

"After cultivating the Wood Dragon Fang Sword, the dragon resonance will be the last one left."

He couldn’t help but let out a small sigh. His waterlight resonance was a lower eighth-grade, while his woodearth resonance had been tempered by countless spirit liquids and purifying lights and had reached the upper seventh-grade. Alas, his Thunder Dragon resonance was lagging behind, being at the lower seventh-grade.

If Li Luo wanted to use the other resonances to form a Dragon Fang Sword, they would have to reach a higher grade. The other resonances were ultimately supplementary and could cause his resonant power to reach a higher level of purity and strength, but they were ultimately not as strong as his primary resonance, the waterlight resonance.

Based on his understanding, if the other resonances were lower than the eighth-grade, the rate of success would be quite low.

Thus, Li Luo's goal was to have his woodearth resonance and Thunder Dragon resonances to reach the eighth-grade at the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

If he could accomplish this, all three resonances would be at a similar level. In that case, the amount of resonance power at his disposal would surpass that of a middle ninth-grade resonance.

Ninth-grade resonances were the only ones that were divided into three sub grades. It was just that most people could not discern the difference. Meeting someone with a ninth-grade resonance was rare enough, and whether it was a lower ninth, a middle ninth, or an upper ninth-grade, it was inconsequential—these individuals were simply on a different level altogether.

In the eyes of others, a rich man was simply a rich man. They were not concerned with exactly how rich they were. That being said, Li Luo had yet to meet anyone with a middle ninth-grade resonance despite being in the inner divine continent, a place full of talented elites.

The best he had seen was Qin Yi's lower ninth-grade water resonance. Additionally, after dealing with the Soul Eater True Devil's parasitism, there was also Li Lingjing with the Abyssal Serpent resonance.

“Thinking of Jiang Qing'e, is her light resonance a middle ninth-grade?”?After recomposing himself from the random thoughts, Li Luo turned his attention to the Pill of Enlightenment. The difficulty of condensing another Dragon Fang Sword was immense, and he had only succeeded with a single Water Dragon Fang Sword so far. And it was all thanks to the aid of Li Jingzhe's Heavenly Temple Lotus and the burning of a lotus seed. Such mystical treasures were prized even by Kings, and he could not thicken his face to ask for yet another opportunity to use it.

As a result, his backup plan was to rely on this spirit pill. Although its effects couldn't compare with the Heavenly Temple Lotus, it would still be helpful.

Additionally, he didn't expect to succeed in creating the Wood Dragon Fang Sword on his first try. His current aim was to first create an outline for it with the Cosmic Sword Intent before gradually giving it form. Eventually, he would succeed when he garnered enough experience.

This made him feel reassured, as he knew that every step he took would contribute to his eventual success. He directly popped the Pill of Enlightenment into his mouth, and a cooling waft of energy circulated throughout his body. Li Luo could feel his mind becoming increasingly clear, and he could distinctly sense the resonant power moving inside him.

He closed his eyes tightly and immersed his mental state into his body.

Li Luo could sense a mysterious and massive sword formation within him.

The formation radiated majestic amounts of sword intent that was wickedly sharp, to the point that its presence was simply terrifying. Even resonant power would be obliterated if the sword intent swept past it.

In the corner of the sword formation was the lone, blue Dragon Fang Sword that lurked idly. Similarly, it exuded boundless amounts of sword intent, and its surface was covered in ripples that elevated its razor-sharp edge to another level.

Li Luo quietly admired the hypnotic Water Dragon Fang Sword before he immersed himself in the Cosmic Sword Intent.

He had spent the past month obtaining strands of sword intent with no rest.

His success rate had gone up after successfully creating the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation.

With a thought, strands of Cosmic Sword Intent condensed before him, and he began to fuse them in the embryonic form of the Wood Dragon Fang Sword.

An hour later...

Li Luo gazed at the dissipating strands of Cosmic Sword Intent. The space before him became empty and he fell silent.

Despite his bitter efforts, twenty strands of Cosmic Sword Intent had been used up just like that.

"Is it really that hard?" Li Luo mumbled to himself. When he first refined the Water Dragon Fang Sword, his success rate was not as low as this. He had even thought that the supposedly difficult-to-cultivate Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation wasn't as hard as people had made it out to be. Still, he felt like something was wrong this time no matter how he looked at it.

"Could it truly have been the effect of the Heavenly Temple Lotus?" Li Luo mused over it for a moment. That was the key difference between then and now. The whole process felt like a simple and carefree affair when he was utilizing the Heavenly Temple Lotus. However, now that he had borrowed the aid of the Pill of Enlightenment to cultivate the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation, the difference between the two aids was stark.

It was as different as the skies and the earth.

Li Luo could only smile bitterly. It was no wonder the Heavenly Temple Lotus was a treasure that even Kings desired. How could a mere Pill of Enlightenment compare?

And the Embryonic Transcendent Duke Art in his possession truly lived up to its name. Learning it was no easy feat.

However, he didn't have much of an option but to take things slow.

Li Luo calmed himself down before continuing to direct the remaining strands of Cosmic Sword Intent to fuse into the shape of a Dragon Fang Sword.

In the following few days, he spent all of his time and effort attempting to craft the embryonic form of the Wood Dragon Fang Sword. Although his progress was slow, the Wood Dragon Fang Sword's rate of success was increasing with each strand of Cosmic Sword Intent that dissipated.

On the fifth day, all of the Cosmic Sword Intent that Li Luo had collected finally ran out. The Wood Dragon Fang Sword, on the other hand, had not been completed.

The faint silhouette of a green sword had manifested inside the Dragon Fang Sword formation, but it was extremely illusory, almost as though it didn't exist.

This was the Wood Dragon Fang Sword. The only thing was that the embryonic form had not been completed, so it could be considered an Embryonic Sword Shadow at best.

This was the result of Li Luo's painstaking efforts.

"I guess an Embryonic Sword Shadow is better than nothing, huh?" Li Luo consoled himself. He then shifted his focus to the outside world. He vaulted off his bed and stretched before walking towards the window to admire the sky.

"Tomorrow is the day." A look of anticipation surfaced in his eyes. The renowned Spiritual Resonance Cave was about to open, and all of the youths in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent were about to gather. Every opening attracted countless top talents to compete for prestige and to be the best. Amongst them, the best would reign supreme and would also likely enter the Empyrean Chronicle, their name resounding throughout the continent.

To be fair, Li Luo was not very interested in such achievements. He was a pragmatic individual. After all, if he didn't become a Duke soon, all the honors in the world would just be another line on his eulogy.

He possessed shocking talent... and an even more shocking lifespan.

"Whether or not my triple resonances can all enter the eighth-grade will depend on this."
