Absolute Resonance Chapter 1263: Qin Lians Anger

Chapter 1263: Qin Lian's Anger

The Ceremony of Ascent of the Five Guardian Armies came to a close. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had made a name for themselves. Even in Heavenly Dragon City, many had come to learn about them.
Whether it was Jiang Qing'e's Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried or Li Luo's three resonant palaces and six resonances, they were all spectacular signs of their foundation and potential.
Their background and the relationship between Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had been exposed as well.
This made many older Dukes recall what had happened dozens of years ago, when Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan dominated the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent during their generation. Many elites during that period were completely suppressed by them. They didn't even dare to show an attitude in front of them. Even though they had disappeared for so many years, their admiration for the duo remained.
Right now, it seemed like this young team was even more spectacular than the duo back then.
They could foresee these two youths rising up and creating another legend in the history of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.
......
Abyssal City.
Bang!
Inside a bright and vast hall, Qin Lian's face was extremely dark as she slammed her palm onto the table. There was a piece of information right in front of her, stating the various happenings regarding Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e during the Ceremony of Ascent.
This included their strengths and resonances.
Many Dukes from other powers were present during the martial arts competition. As such, it was naturally not a hard task for the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin to get information regarding it.
"That Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried girl is the disciple of Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan?!" Qin Lian's eyes were burning with fury. She had noticed the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried when she ambushed Li Luo earlier. It was a shocking discovery, but she didn't know where that unrivaled girl had come from. Just now, she had learned that Jiang Qing'e was personally trained by Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan.
This was truly an annoyance to her ears.
"Triple ninth-grade light resonances and a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. How are Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan always so lucky?! How did they find such an unrivaled talent in such a backward and rural place like an outer divine continent?!" Qin Lian gritted her teeth. Her eyes were full of jealousy. Were they really blessed by the heavens? Why did all the good things in the world always happen to them?
Her heart was burning with anger. Then a jolt of pain lanced through her body, and the pain could be seen on her face. It was the leftover effect from the injury that Li Jingzhe had inflicted on her. Qin Jiujie had been personally treating her, but the residual energy of a Quasi-Triple Crown King wasn’t easy to remove. She had experienced excruciating pain time and time again and looked a lot weaker.
Two people stood still in the great hall, watching her quietly. They were none other than Qin Yi and Chu Qing.
Qin Yi secretly sighed in her heart. She bent down and picked up the numerous scrolls that were swept off the table during Qin Lian's rage.
She knew her mother's temper all too well. Over the past few years, she had compared herself with Tan Tailan in every single aspect of her life. First, it was their background. Then it was their children and disciples. Li Luo had already gotten a step in front of her and entered the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier first. In the Ceremony of Ascent, he had proven himself by fighting off an upper first-grade Duke with his own strength. This was a remarkable achievement worthy of leaving his name in the Empyrean Chronicle.
Qin Yi felt like she probably wouldn’t be able to catch up to him anymore. She was filled with mixed feelings. When they first met, Li Luo was clearly not as strong as her, yet he had overtaken her.
The girl named Jiang Qing'e was even more impressive. She possessed triple ninth-grade light resonances and had forged a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried as soon as she stepped into the Duke Stage. Her foundation and talent were truly spectacular.
Most importantly, Jiang Qing'e was the disciple of Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan and also the fiancee of Li Luo.
Qin Yi's eyes, which were usually as calm as a lake, flickered. When she was tidying up the information for Qin Lian, she had heard that Jiang Qing'e was an extraordinarily charming lady. Their generation in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent used to say that Fairy of Water Qin Yi was the prettiest of all. Now rumors were spreading that she had finally met a worthy competitor. Jiang Qing'e was being referred to as the Fairy of Light. When paired together with the Fairy of Water, they would be the Twin Beauties of Heavenly Origin.
Qin Yi wasn't really interested in fighting to be the prettiest. However, Jiang Qing'e had revealed exceptional talent that piqued her curiosity.
If there was ever a chance, she would really love to see what the girl had to offer.
Chu Qing bowed at the side. "Master, don't get too angry. It's my fault for being a foolish disicples. I have failed your teachings."
The fury on Qin Lian's face softened a little when she looked over at Chu Qing. All this while, she had been satisfied with this disciple of hers. Amongst his peers in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, there weren't many that could potentially be more talented than Chu Qing. If not for Jiang Qing'e and her Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, he would definitely be the spotlight of this generation. "There is no need to belittle yourself. You possess triple resonances yourself and you’re a second-grade Duke. In terms of battle strength, you can definitely win against a third-grade Duke. You may not necessarily be weaker than Jiang Qing'e," Qin Lian said.
Qin Yi nodded gently. Chu Qing possessed dual resonances before he reached the Duke Stage, with one in the quasi ninth-grade and another in the upper eighth-grade. With his breakthrough into the Duke Stage, he gained a third resonance that was a lower ninth-grade.
This was an extremely strong foundation from Chu Qing. The two Duke Bergfrieds that he had constructed so far had nine pillars! Although there was still some distance between that and the unrivaled Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, he was already far ahead of many other Dukes. He was strong enough to dominate other Dukes in the same grade easily.
After entering the Blackwater Guardians, Chu Qing's performance had been spectacular as well. He had established his reputation here, and his prospects were promising.
Chu Qing smiled and clasped his hands respectfully towards Qin Lian. "If there is a chance in the future, I'd love to spar with Jiang Qing'e. Although I may not be able to beat her, I will not tarnish your reputation, Master."
Chu Qing had a muscular body, and there were gold and silver rings wrapped around his arms. He gave off a magnificent presence at this moment, with a burning desire to fight in his eyes. He was not frightened just because Jiang Qing'e had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. On the contrary, he was actually looking forward to challenging such a powerful opponent.
Having such a strong rival was the perfect way to train himself. He had faced many hardships on his cultivation journey in order to get to where he was today. When he was at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier, he had challenged a Duke. His fighting spirit was definitely extraordinary.
Qin Lian nodded, clearly pleased with Chu Qing's courage and fighting spirit.
"You two should train hard in the coming days. The World's End River Treasure Domain will open before the Stygian Rain of Calamity arrives. At that time, you will definitely have the chance to face off against the elites from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. When that time comes... let’s see if Li Jingzhe will be able to protect them!"
An icy light flashed across Qin Lian's eyes.
When Qin Yi saw this, she understood that her mother was furious over what Li Jingzhe had done. She said in a soft voice, "Li Jingzhe is a Quasi-Triple Crown King. Even the Grand Palace Master has to give him some face, so you don't need to feel resentful over this, Mother." freewebnøvel.coɱ
Qin Lian gritted her teeth. She replied in a cold voice, "So a Quasi-Triple Crown King can just have his way with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin? Tsk. We'll talk about this when Li Jingzhe becomes the second Heavenly Emperor in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li!"
Her eyes suddenly turned towards Qin Yi. "All the various powers will send their forces into the World's End River Treasure Domain. This includes the Imperial Beast Hall from the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent."
"Mythical Spirit Divine Continent? Imperial Beast Hall?" Qin Yi and Chu Qing were stunned when they heard this. Both of them exclaimed in surprise, "Why are the people from the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent coming to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent!?"
The Mythical Spirit Divine Continent was one of the four main inner divine continents. It was said that there were two halls and three lineages that were Heavenly Emperor powers on that distant and vast continent. The Imperial Beast Hall was one of the two halls. They would definitely be a powerful force when they came over.
Qin Lian explained to them calmly, "They've been invited over by the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin."
"The World's End River Treasure Domain is a grand affair in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to invite a Heavenly Emperor power from the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent over? I am afraid some of the other powers in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent will not be happy about this," Qin Yi said in a worried tone.
"What's inappropriate about this? If you want the treasures, you need to prove your worth. It's as simple as that," Qin Lian replied casually. She did not explain any further.
"Our guests will have gone through a long journey to get here. You must remember to host them well," Qin Lian reminded her. Qin Yi nodded. She still had doubts in her heart, but she did not dare to probe any further.
It seemed like there were many plans in play behind the scenes of the World's End River Treasure Domain. This event would be a lot more intense and dangerous than previous iterations.
