Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1520: The Targeted Diwu Mingxuan

A frightening aura descended from the darkened skies, causing the void inside the Celestial Mirror Pagoda to tremble and seem as though it was on the cusp of shattering. Li Luo and the rest had also sensed this, and their expressions changed. A looming pressure bore down upon them from the skies.

"This sort of power surpasses even Principal Wang Xuanjin!" Li Luo exclaimed.

"It's a Heavenly Emperor, and from what they've done, I'm afraid it's not someone from the Academic Federation," Jiang Qing'e' said solemnly.

"Not the Academic Federation's Heavenly Emperor?" Chi Chan's clear eyes were filled with terror.

Li Luo's heart sank. "Could it be the Origin Reversion Institute's Heavenly Emperor? Only they would dare to infiltrate the Celestial Mirror Pagoda without a care for offending the Academic Federation." In their world, the Academic Federation's might was absolute. They were on such a high pedestal that even Heavenly Emperor powers had to treat them politely, unwilling to offend them. Furthermore, the Academic Federation spent their efforts resisting the encroaching corruption of the Others, causing the other powers to view them with absolute respect. Only the diabolical Origin Reversion Institute would be so brazen as to act this way.

Jiang Qing'e nodded. "It's very likely."

Li Luo frowned, and worry was evident on his face. What was supposed to be an ordinary Celestial Mirror Pagoda trial had been interrupted by the Origin Reversion Institute. If this led to a change in the situation and he couldn't obtain the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art, that would be a huge problem.

"I think it's best that we don't act rashly. The Academic Federation places a large emphasis on the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, and their Heavenly Emperors are sure to have sensed this change. Thus, they will quickly rush over," Jiang Qing'e said calmly.

Li Luo sighed and nodded in agreement. The correct choice would be to stay put until they ascertained which experts of the Origin Reversion Institute had infiltrated this place. Thus, the group quietly waited. As time passed, Lu Qing'er was in the center of the icy altar and had completely absorbed all of the Frost Divinewater. Her long hair, which cascaded down her back like a waterfall, was now a richer hue of icy blue and the cold aura she emanated had become even more biting.

Her expression had turned even colder and her supple skin glowed with phosphorescent light, causing anyone who looked at her to feel dazzled. She raised her slender legs one at a time to step out of the pool, causing the water droplets on her clothes to condense into icy beads, sliding down her white and smooth stockings like tiny pearls. They made crisp ringing sounds when they hit the ground. Lu Qing'er then glanced upwards, her exquisite face adopting a slight frown when she saw the dark sky.

"What happened?" she asked.

Li Luo then very kindly explained the situation.

She nodded and then said nothing more, merely sitting dead still. Immense amounts of cold air flowed around her, and she resembled a beautifully carved ice sculpture.

......

At the same time, somewhere within the thirty-third layer.

Diwu Mingxuan also paused and his brows furrowed upon seeing the sky. He was taken aback by the sudden change, and he had also sensed the frightening energy that had caused this change.

"What happened?" He also decided to stay put, unwilling to move around randomly. However, he very quickly sensed movement in front of him. Two people were rushing towards him.

One was a familiar figure. It was the Mythical Spirit Ancient College's Zhou Jun and the other one was an unfamiliar face with a warm smile.

"Mentor Zhou Jun?" Diwu Mingxuan called out. This caused him to heave a slight sigh of relief.

The two of them had interacted with each other before, so they could be considered acquaintances.

When Zhou Jun saw Diwu Mingxuan, he asked in surprise, "Mentor Mingxuan? Where is Song Jing? Wasn't he with you?"

Diwu Mingxuan smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid he's been eliminated by Li Luo."

Zhou Jun's gaze stiffened. "How could that be possible? Li Luo is merely a third-grade Transcendent. Even if he has more trump cards hidden up his sleeve, he couldn't possibly have defeated Mentor Song Jing."

Diwu Mingxuan shook his head and his expression darkened. "I'm not sure myself."

When Zhou Jun saw this, he seemed to have understood something. "It looks like you lost the battle against Jiang Qing'e."

This was met with Diwu Mingxuan's sigh. "She is far more deserving of the title of the Duke of Light. I am not her match."

At this point, the man beside Zhou Jun grinned. "Jiang Qing'e does have an exceptional inborn talent with the light. It's very attractive."

Diwu Mingxuan's brows creased further. The man's frivolous words had sparked a hint of dislike and disdain towards him.

Meanwhile Zhou Jun laughed as well. "Mentor Mingxuan, why don't we move together? It looks like something is happening within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda."

Diwu Mingxuan solemnly looked towards the skies and nodded. "That's for the best. We can watch each other's backs."

However just as he spoke, a ray of light shot out from the pocket sphere on his wrist, forming a projection of light before him. Principal Wang Xuanjin could be seen within it.

"Attention participants within the thirty-third layer. The Celestial Mirror Pagoda has been infiltrated by the Origin Reversion Institute. Everyone should quickly
