Chapter 1139: Curse Lifted and Seven Pearls

"Spirit Lotus Essence?"

Li Luo's eyes widened when he heard Yue Zhiyu's surprised cry. It was said that there was a very small chance for a Spirit Lotus Essence to be born in areas where large numbers of Enlightened Spirit Lotuses gathered. In simpler terms, this was the condensation of the spirituality of all the Enlightened Spirit Lotuses in the surroundings.

It was truly the essence from the heavens and earth. However, it was extremely hard to satisfy the conditions for one to be created. They had the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, making it extremely difficult to catch.

Therefore, no one had expected Li Luo to find a Spirit Lotus Essence with the help of Li Hongyou.

Everyone stared at him with envy. They were extremely jealous at how he had picked it up right before their eyes.

"Senior Hongyou, how did you know that this Enlightened Spirit Lotus contained Spirit Lotus Essence?" Li Luo asked in surprise. Li Hongyou had clearly known about it, which was why she had suggested Li Luo to give up on the oldest Enlightened Spirit Lotus and go for the feeble-looking one.

Li Hongyou grinned and explained, "My resonance happens to be compatible with these natural treasures. As such, I noticed that the spirituality within that Enlightened Spirit Lotus differed from the others in the surroundings and asked you to give it a try."

Hearing this, Li Luo gave her a big thumbs up. Who knew that her resonance had such a discerning eye for treasures?

Yue Zhiyu took a look at Li Luo and Li Hongyou for a moment. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on her face. "Li Hongyou, if you knew that this Enlightened Spirit Lotus contained Spirit Lotus Essence, why did you tell Li Luo about it? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself? Or is it because... you two are already at a stage where such treasures don't matter?

"Let me remind you kindly. Li Luo already has a fiancee and she's really fierce. If you meet her later, things may turn ugly."

Li Luo's mouth twitched a little. Although she had phrased it as a kind reminder, he could tell from her tone that she couldn't wait to watch the commotion that would inevitably ensue.

However, Li Hongyou did not react to her taunt. Her relationship with Li Luo was not like what Yue Zhiyu had mentioned.

"A Spirit Lotus Essence would not be do much for me, and you need it more than me," she told Li Luo. She knew that he was trying to reach the nine-pearl tier.

Li Luo accepted it graciously. He had been preparing for a really long time, and the Spirit Lotus Essence would boost his confidence significantly.

For now, he could only engrave this favor from Li Hongyou in his heart and hope to return it to her in the future.

After Li Luo obtained the Spirit Lotus Essence, the others lined up and went forward to select their Enlightened Spirit Lotuses. At the end of the day, it was a joyous occasion for everyone.

Li Luo raised his head and looked into the skies above their district. After they had destroyed the Soul Summoning Altar, the white mist that had originally filled the area was slowly dissipating. It was as if a huge part had gone missing in the sky above the city.

He could tell that cracks had begun to form in the Ten Thousand Curses Ward that enveloped the area.

Once the other three Soul Summoning Altars had been destroyed, the Ten Thousand Curses Ward would be dispelled completely. Lu Ming, Jing Taixu, and the rest would be able to recover when that happened.

Then they could all head towards their original goal—t destroy the Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar.

"Send out the signal. Inform the other teams that the Soul Summoning Altar here has been destroyed." Yue Zhiyu's eyes scanned the surroundings. Due to the thick mist, she could not tell what the progress of the others was like.

Hearing her command, one of the students nodded. He fired off a signal prepared by the college. It flew high up into the sky and formed a beam of light that lasted for a while.

"This place is full of worldly natural energy. I suggest that we take a break here. After we have gained more information about the situation of the other teams, we can head to whichever side needs our help the most. What do you guys think?" Yue Zhiyu said.

Li Luo agreed with her suggestion. The worldly natural energy in this vast lake was dense and concentrated. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many Enlightened Spirit Lotuses here. The most important thing to him was to cultivate his resonant power. He could feel the resonant power within his body getting a little agitated after their previous battle. This could be a sign that the seventh Heavenly Pearl was about to materialize.

After all, his seventh pearl was already half-completed, and considering he had just fought an intense battle, it could be a sign that it would form earlier than he had expected.

So he sat in the lotus position on the lake, closed his eyes, and activated the Triple Palaces Six Resonances Pearl Condensation Art, making full use of his time to cultivate and materialize the Heavenly Pearl.

Li Hongyou sat quietly by his side, as if to guard him from any dangers. At the same time, strands of crimson energy filled with fragrance flew out of her sleeve and lingered around Li Luo. This enabled him to boost his concentration to untold levels.

Meanwhile, the others split up in different directions and took a break.

The silence lasted around an hour. The hearts of Yue Zhiyu and the rest skipped a beat and they suddenly looked up. In the sky above, the thick, white mist had begun to dissipate. At the same time, a beam of light shot high into the sky.

"The second Soul Summoning Altar has been destroyed!" everyone shouted in delight. Who had destroyed it? Was it Feng Lingyuan? Wei Chonglou?

After they had destroyed the first Soul Summoning Altar here, the corruption within the whole Swamp City had been affected. This had also helped the other squads out.

When the second Soul Summoning Altar got taken down, the Ten Thousand Curses Ward above the swamp city began to tremble. One could faintly see that the complex ward was beginning to unravel.

A short moment later, another beam of light shot up into the sky.

The third Soul Summoning Altar had been destroyed as well.

The other teams had all secured a spectacular victory after a tough fight.

The Ten Thousand Curses Ward was now shaking violently with three Soul Summoning Altars taken down. The human skin lanterns that were floating above the city began to wither. In fact, even the mist in the center of the city had grown thinner. One could faintly make out a giant pillar over there.

Everyone waited for a while. However, there was no sign of the fourth altar going down.

Yue Zhiyu frowned a little. "It seems like the main combatants have gone over to the three destroyed altars. It's very challenging for the remaining forces to take down the fourth one."

"I suggest we send someone over to help them," Wang Kong said.

"I will bring some people over," Yue Zhiyu responded.

Wang Kong nodded in agreement.

As Yue Zhiyu was selecting the members to bring with her, their faces suddenly changed and their eyes all turned towards the north. The mist had begun to dissipate.

At the same time, the Ten Thousand Curses Ward that enveloped the city was shaking tremendously. Countless black runes appeared in the sky above and started falling down like little worms.

It was as if black rain was falling.

"The Ten Thousand Curses Ward has been lifted?!" Everyone's faces were full of surprise.

Yue Zhiyu was also astonished by this. "Has the fourth altar been destroyed too? Who did it? Why was there no signal?"

The others were perplexed over it as well. Based on their previous understanding, they would fire off a signal to inform the rest that the mission was accomplished, but it was silent from the fourth altar's side. No one had sent any signal out.

However, they did not have the luxury to ponder over this. With the Ten Thousand Curses Ward dispelled, the human skin lanterns floating in the sky above began to descend.

The students that had been cursed began to recover.

In the chaos, Li Hongyou suddenly turned towards Li Luo. The seventh Heavenly Pearl had begun to glow brighter behind his back!

A strong wave of resonant power swept by. It slowly extended out of Li Luo's body and drew everyone's gazes.

Li Luo opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

The seventh Heavenly Pearl had successfully condensed.

He was now another step closer to the nine-pearl tier.
