Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1645: Void Resonance's Six Sons, Yin Qingkun

The Pill Saint's words, tinged with a multitude of emotions, resonated through the skies.

This knowledge caused a look of horror to bloom on Li Luo's face. He looked at the ghostly bronze mask in disbelief. Heavenly Emperor Yin of the Origin Reversion Institute was actually someone on the level of Wang Taixi? He was once one of the Void Resonance's Six Sons?

It was no wonder the Origin Reversion Institute had a deep understanding of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect and the Absolute Resonance Seed. After all, their leader once held a high position in the sect.

In the sect's heyday, the position of the Void Resonance's Six Sons was second only to the Sect Master. They also had the power to recommend candidates for the Sect Master's position, which only demonstrated their lofty positions within the sect.

If Heavenly Emperor Yin really was one of the Void Resonance's Six Sons, then why would he create the Origin Reversion Institute and join hands with the Others from the Shadow World? This question puzzled Li Luo greatly. They had incited countless Other Disasters and caused the death of countless living creatures as a result.

This was especially shocking because the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was once the guardian of the ten divine continents.

"Yin Qingkun of the Void Resonance's Six Sons." Heavenly Emperor Jiang seemed to be lost in thought for a few moments before sighing.

He continued, "It all makes sense now. I had my suspicions at first, but I never would have expected you to be one of the Void Resonance's Six Sons. It truly is a pity. The era of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was the most glorious point in time for the countless lives in the ten divine continents. Those ancestors toiled dutifully with their hearts and souls to protect this world, yet you have betrayed their will."

The bronze mask's stark white flames jumped up and down as a mocking laugh came out.

"Heavenly Emperor Jiang, why not save your breath? Those words are meaningless. The Origin Reversion Institute was created to bring an end to the endless struggle and chaos. The only difference is that our paths differ. The ones who are truly naive are the Academic Federation. Do you really think you have the strength to deal with the Shadow World's Others? Absolutely laughable. If the Sacred Void Resonance Sect wasn't able to achieve it, what makes you think you can?"

Heavenly Emperor Jiang calmly replied, "The Academic Federation has inherited the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's legacy, and we will follow this path to the end."

"The Sacred Void Resonance Sect's legacy?" Heavenly Emperor Yin sneered. "You have no such right."

Heavenly Emperor Jiang shook his head, understanding that there was no point in further discussion. Both of them were Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperors and had their own indomitable wills. They would never be easily moved. Since their paths were different, they would defend their decisions to the death.

At this point, the Pill Saint atop the Demon Rainbow Butterfly glared at Heavenly Emperor Yin with a complicated expression.

She said, "Yin Qingkun, you should never have appeared here, nor survived till now!"

She was a Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor in the past and had relied on the unique aspects of her body to weather the long tides of time to survive until now. Alas, the price was that her strength wouldn't be able to reach its pinnacle ever again.

Meanwhile, Heavenly Emperor Yin looked to be as strong as before, purely judging by the fluctuations that he emanated.

Most importantly, even if Yin Qingkun had relied on some kind of special method to survive until now, then he should not have appeared here to plot against her! This was not something that one of the Void Resonance's Six Sons should have done.

"And despite what you say, I'm alive and right in front of you," Heavenly Emperor Yin indifferently retorted.

The Pill Saint grimly asked, "Yin Qingkun, what happened to the Sacred Void Resonance Sect after I sealed myself all those years ago?!"

Heavenly Emperor Yin was silent, choosing not to answer.

"Is your goal to devour my Divine Fruit resonance?" the Pill Saint asked sarcastically.

Heavenly Emperor Yin replied, "Rainbow Butterfly, there's no need for you to act. You know that I'm not here for you."

When Li Luo heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. The schemes were running deeper than he had expected. Wasn't the goal the Pill Saint? Why was he saying that was not the case now?𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

As the rest were pondering over the possibilities, the Pill Saint's expression turned gloomy, and her eyes became ice-cold as she continued to glare at Heavenly Emperor Yin.

Heavenly Emperor Yin sighed and nonchalantly said, "Rainbow Butterfly, give me the Sect Master's windflame resonance."

Those words caused Heavenly Emperor Jiang's expression to change.

A look of shock spread across Li Luo's face. The Sect Master's windflame resonance?

He was now privy to a lot of hidden secrets of the past and understood that the Sect Master these two were referring to was the final Sect Master of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, the mysterious Legendary Sect Master. That individual possessed incomprehensible strength, and even though he was no longer alive, his resonances still remained. The supreme ninth-grade Divine Fruit Crystal resonance in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda was one such object.

Heavenly Emperor Yin was here to obtain the windflame resonance? Judging by the name, it sounded like a resonance with both a primary and secondary resonance. This wasn't unimaginable. The Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art allowed one to refine acquired resonances, so the Sect Master possessing one made sense.

That said, the crystal resonance found within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda was just a single resonance, which implied that the Sect Master had a mix of both.

He just didn't know if the Absolute Resonance Seed inheritors of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect were like him, born with all blank palaces, or if they had awakened their own resonances and used secret arts to supplement them.

Everything fell silent as a mysterious and inexplicable sense of terror permeated the air. It was as though even the air was stagnant.

The average individual present didn't understand anything that was being said, but this didn't stop them from trembling. After all, if the two Heavenly Emperors were to start clashing, they would be akin to flimsy bamboo rafts in the middle of a tsunami, at risk of capsizing and splintering to pieces at any moment.

The Pill Saint slowly clenched her fists, green veins popping up on her fair hands. She glared daggers at Yin Qingkun before coldly spitting out her words. "Yin Qingkun, you've gone crazy. You actually dare to covet the Sect Master's resonances?"

Heavenly Emperor Yin calmly replied, "What if I told you that obtaining that resonance was an order given to me by the Sect Master?"

The Pill Saint's chest heaved and rose with each deep breath as she sneered at him condescendingly.

"Oh? Then do you know why I sealed the windflame resonance with me all those years ago? It's because it was a direct order from the Sect Master himself!"

Heavenly Emperor Yin's stark white eyes flickered as his low voice boomed out. "I know. At the same time, I know that I'm also following orders. Rainbow Butterfly, are you planning to go against the will of the Sect Master?"

Pill Saint stared at Heavenly Emperor Yin with a dark expression, fatigue evident in her eyes.

She lightly replied, "Just before I sealed myself away, the Sect Master gave me one final warning. He said... that I should never trust Yin Qingkun."
