Chapter 0944: Pagoda

A few days later, Li Luo and the rest arrived at the Heavenly Star Plains to enter the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

They could sense their surroundings becoming more active as soon as they looked out from their ship. Shadows flashed by from time to time as numerous ships from the other powers overhead.

Everyone was obviously heading to the same destination.

This was undoubtedly one of the main events for the younger generation of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.

However, what attracted their attention was the sight that greeted them when they arrived. A gigantic portal was present in the sky. It seemed as though it was condensed from massive amounts of worldly natural energy, and there were countless intricate, gray runes decorating it.

The energy portal seemed to be closed, but there were numerous streams of light leaking from a crack within, as though it might burst open at any point in time.

This portal was the pathway that would take them to the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

The air around the portal was surrounded by wards. These wards had the function of closing off the portal whilst giving off an aura that would frighten even Dukes.

This was the ward that was jointly controlled by the four Heavenly Emperor bloodlines. All of the top powers had worked together to construct the ward for the purpose of ensuring that others could not destroy the Spiritual Resonance Cave. At the same time, it was meant to ensure that everyone followed the agreement. The opportunities that could be obtained within were rare, and although Dukes were prevented from entering, it was still considered important for the younger generation's growth. Creating a secret realm of the same caliber would require the Heavenly Emperor powers on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent to consume significant amounts of their accumulated resources.

Meanwhile, near the bottom of the energy portal were quite a number of pagodas of differing heights.

These pagodas were the footholds which the Heavenly Emperor powers had constructed.

Li Luo and the rest obediently sat in their ship, which headed directly towards the portal. In the end, it descended towards one of the pagodas that was far out in front. Numerous experts from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li flew out of it to receive the ship.

Li Jinpan and Li Qingpeng then reappeared before the squads from the numerous lineages. As they faced the excited and curious youths, they explained the situation. "The Spiritual Resonance Cave should open tomorrow, so you can explore the surroundings tonight if you are interested. This is the gathering place of all of the elites of your generation, and it could be good to get to know them better. Additionally, be present at the Golden Dragon Bank's area tonight. They will be operating a market, and it will have items that are specifically aimed at individuals at the Heavenly Resonance Tier and below. There will be some useful items such as rare medicinal pills, spirit liquids and purifying lights. Even violet-eye treasured artifacts, secret arts, Duke Arts, and Royal Engravings will be available. If you want to take a look, you have to prepare sufficient amounts of skygold. The items there will be even more expensive than usual."

These words stirred up the crowd, and even Li Luo was interested in taking a look. The Spiritual Resonance Cave was full of dangers, and any items that could bolster his strength would improve his odds.

As for the items being more expensive? One could only say that the Golden Dragon Bank would take any and all opportunities to turn a profit. Even the expedition to the cave was an event that they wouldn’t pass up on.

Whilst Li Luo remained in his thoughts, the others entered the tall pagoda and went to their assigned rooms for rest.

However, Li Luo's momentary peace was then interrupted by Li Fengyi, who had burst in. "Little Brother, accompany me to the market! If there's anything you want, your Elder Sister here will buy it for you."

Looking at her exuberant expression, Li Luo couldn't help but smile, though he did not reject her. He was interested in seeing just what the Golden Dragon Bank had brought and if there was anything that he could use.

Thus, he went next door to find Li Lingjing and invited her along. Li Lingjing had wanted to rest, but when she remembered that this was a den full of snakes and dragons, she agreed to ensure that no mishaps would occur.

Li Fengyi then rallied Li Jingtao and Li Fuling before they headed towards the Golden Dragon Bank's area.

The Golden Dragon Bank had similarly constructed a pagoda of their own, the only difference was that it was striking gold in color. This made it not only the most conspicuous, but the most luxurious as well.

Outside the pagoda was a golden hall, and it was densely packed with people milling about. It seemed as though everyone had gathered inside it, and the market had caught everyone's interest.n0velusb.c0m

A female attendant welcomed the group when they arrived at the golden hall, and she immediately recognized who they were. The Golden Dragon Bank had done their homework on the talented individuals entering the Spiritual Resonance Cave, and upon meeting the well-endowed heirs, they respectfully led them to the higher levels.

The second level was even more extravagant, dazzling everyone with its resplendent light. There were about half as many individuals on this level, but those who had the right to peruse this floor were typically the elites of their factions.

Within the massive hall were neatly lined-up stores with countless crystal cases that were swirling with energy. It was clear that the wares were inside the cases.

There was even an area full of sumptuous delights and wines, which all patrons were invited to partake in. It could be said that their service was excellent. However, the most eye-catching sight in the second level was not a precious treasure. There was actually a small ring of people in the hall, and in the center was an incomparably beautiful goddess. Her beautiful face was like an exquisite painting, and every frown and smile she graced the world with would dull the radiance of the treasures all around them.

It was the Fairy of Water, Qin Yi.

Countless heroic and handsome young men were surrounding her. They all had respectable backgrounds and were also adored within their own factions. However, they were currently all staring at Qin Yi with a hint of passion in their gazes.

Additionally, her beauty was well known to all the youths of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. She also possessed a position of high standing, being from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing. And most importantly, she possessed a ninth-grade water resonance.

Her gorgeous appearance coupled with her natural talent made her a goddess that attracted the attention of many.

However, as soon as Li Luo's gaze fell upon Qin Yi, she seemed to sense something. She raised her head slightly, looking over with her crystal-clear eyes that were like an undisturbed lake.

When their gazes met, they showed each other seemingly gentle smiles.

However, their smiles did not go unnoticed. At this moment, there was a pretty figure covered by a veil standing by the railings on a level above them. When she noticed Li Luo walking in, her eyes instantly stuck to him.

She saw the two exchanging smiles, and she couldn't stop her starry eyes from squinting a little.
