Chapter 1490: Two Ladies Cooperate to Nurture The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo!
The four brilliant pillars of energy floating over Celestial Mirror City lasted for a while longer before finally dissipating. However, the commotion that was caused continued to reverberate around the city.
Within a manor in the inner part of the city, Diwu Mingxuan stood in the center of the garden with his hands behind his back. Numerous mentors from the Divine Sun Ancient College were watching him from a corridor not far away, cheering and applauding him.
Song Jing's crimson fan lightly flapped in his hands as he appeared by Diwu Mingxuan's side, his face revealing a trace of envy. "Congratulations, Mentor Diwu. You've forged yet another Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried and have progressed yet again on the Path of Ascension."
Although Song Jing was an upper eighth-grade Duke and his strength would be considered top-class regardless of where he went in the inner divine continents, he did not dare to slight the newly minted sixth-grade Duke with three Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds. After all, Song Jing understood that with this breakthrough, Diwu Mingxuan's true strength had become even more terrifying, possibly even capable of emerging victorious against a veteran expert like himself.
Diwu Mingxuan's gaze retracted from the distance where the three pillars of light were dissipating and he sighed. "My progress on the Path of Ascension has already been severed. Unless I find an incredible opportunity and reforge my three nine-pillar Duke Bergfrieds, I have no hope of becoming a Transcendent Duke."
He only had three Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, and a Transcendent Duke required at least four more. It would be impossible for him to continue down that path even if he obtained three more Ten-Pillars as he progressed.
Furthermore, he didn't have any hope of achieving that.
He was most clear that the most recent Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried he had forged had only been possible due to an opportunity gifted to him by his teacher, the Radiant King. And that would only happen once.
Song Jing paused momentarily before consoling him. "Although being a Transcendent Duke is a sort of glory, you've forged a robust foundation, so you will still step into the ranks of Kings even if you don't continue down this path. You have a great and bright future ahead, no worse than the Path of Ascension."
