Chapter 0669: Greater Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art
Li Luo felt his life going dark before him. If the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art had nothing after it, would he only be able to stare at his blank palace once he entered the Duke Stage?
Even though he had triple resonances, who would resent having more of them? The more, the merrier, right?
Tan Tailan rolled her eyes at Li Taixuan before saying, "Enough. Stop tormenting Little Luo."
"It"s true that your blank palace cannot be filled up with the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art after you reach the Duke Stage. You will need to rely on an even more mystical art! It is the advanced version of it, the Greater Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art."
"Greater Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art?" Li Luo paused momentarily in a daze before hurriedly asking, "Where is it!? Where can I get it?"
"The Acquired Resonance Art and its greater version are esoteric arts pa.s.sed down from ancient times, from a superpower known as the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. If there is anywhere in the world that contains the Greater Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art, it would be within its remnants," Tan Tailan explained.
When she mentioned the words “Sacred Void Resonance Sect,” a trace of regret could be seen in her eyes.
Li Taixuan then supplemented it with more information. "The Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art was also obtained from an ancient remnant."
Li Luo felt a little taken aback by this revelation as everything his mom had mentioned seemed a little far away.
Sacred Void Resonance Sect? Ancient ruins? Was that a location a tiny Fiend Palace Tier cultivator could venture to?
"Are the remnants of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect found in the inner divine continent?" Although he was a little confused, Li Luo continued to ask these questions with great sincerity for the sake of his cultivation journey.
"Mhm. The place you"ll want to go to is the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, the largest amongst the four." Li Taixuan sighed before smirking at Li Luo. "I suppose you must have heard something about this by now. It"s true... your mom and I are from the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. If you ever have the opportunity to do so, you should head over there. The Greater Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art can only be found there, so there"s no avoiding it."
Li Luo shrugged. "We"ll see. I"m still a long way away from the Duke Stage."
He held great desire for the Greater Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art, but getting one was not an urgent task. It was a problem for much later, when he reached the Duke Stage. Currently, he was only at the Fiend Palace Tier, and he had a deadline of four years to reach the Duke Stage. The art didn"t matter if he was dead.
Thus, he shelved the thoughts of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect into the depths of his memory for now.
Li Luo then changed the subject to something he had always wanted to know. "Old man, what is the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li? What"s up with that? Can you explain it to me?"
Li Taixuan smirked. "Wow, Little Luo, you"ve even heard of that! What do you think? Don"t you think that it was wonderful to realize what an awesome super second generation you"ve been born into?"
Tan Tailan coldly snorted. "What"s so great about it? It"s just a clan of brats sheltered by some rotting and obstinate elders."
Li Luo felt a little taken aback. Clearly, his mom did not have positive feelings towards the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. There had to be a story behind that.
Li Taixuan smiled awkwardly. "As the name suggests, it"s the bloodline of our ancestor, a Heavenly Emperor pinnacle expert. The world"s mightiest people are his descendants. The inheritance of his bloodline has allowed us to prosper for a thousand years. Those of the bloodline are also a peak faction on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. If you have the chance to do so, you can choose to recognize your ancestors and return to the sect. Regardless of your choice, you will always possess a blood tie to them."
"It sounds really impressive, being so mighty and all, but I think that House Luolan holds a dearer place in my heart," Li Luo replied.
Even though those with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li were a supreme power, which the Xia Kingdom"s royal court and the Astral Sage College were incomparable to, Li Luo had spent his youth in House Luolan. Thus, no matter how impressive a background the bloodline had, it was inconsequential to him. Home was where the heart truly was... and for him, it would always be House Luolan.
Tan Tailan was elated upon hearing those words, and she happily ruffled his head. "See! Little Luo knows what"s best. There"s nothing impressive about the c.r.a.ppy Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Little Luo will reach the Heavenly Emperor Stage by his own merit. He won"t need those decrepit old men"s a.s.sistance."
"Mom, why are you so opinionated about this?" Li Luo asked curiously.
Tan Tailan pouted lightly but did not respond, clearly uninterested in dredging up the issues of the past.
"Little Luo, you need to be clear that there is a lot of murkiness and the situation is complex in these sorts of ma.s.sive clans. Naturally, some people will be unhappy with your decision. Of course, for every hated individual, there will be a close family member that supports you. Thus, there is no need to be too concerned with what others think," Li Taixuan sincerely answered.
Li Luo nodded and smiled. "I understand, old man."
"Your mother and I used the natal flames to create these projections, but this will be the last time. The next time we meet will be when we return from the n.o.bles" Battlefield. But we don"t know when that will be, so the two of you will have to rely on each other moving forward," Li Taixuan explained with an appreciative look.
Tan Tailan continued to tenderly look at Li Luo, especially that head of grayish-white hair. "You have only four more years of time, but I believe that you"ll be able to break into the Duke Stage before then, and break those shackles."
Li Luo nodded heavily, "Old man, mom, you can rest a.s.sured that I won"t let you send me off to the underworld before I see you in person."
Tan Tailan acknowledged his reply happily before turning to face Jiang Qing"e whilst tugging at her hand. "Qing"e, you"re much more reliable, so I leave the disciplining of Little Luo to you. If he does anything bad, there"s no need to be courteous. Just lay the beatdown."
Jiang Qing"e listened to those words and briefly flitted an eye at Li Luo. At that very moment, Li Luo noticed a strange color within her eyes that caused him to feel a chill in his heart. After which, he heard Jiang Qing"e reply in a low voice, "Master, Mistress, Li Luo told me that he wanted to cancel our engagement."
At that moment, Li Luo felt his scalp tingling. “Sister Qing"e! How could you do this to me!? You aren"t supposed to be a tattletale!”
At that moment, piercing gazes from both Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan shot over.
Tan Tailan faintly said, "Old Li, what do we do with such an unfilial and unappreciative brat? He does not know what"s good for him. Should we get rid of him?"
Li Taixuan solemnly nodded in response. "Forget about it. We no longer need this one. Let"s make a new one!"
Li Luo didn"t know whether to laugh or to cry, only helplessly pleading his case. "Mom! Dad! This is the affair of a young man. Could I ask that you not meddle with them? I"ll settle it myself!"
Tan Tailan coldly snorted as she warned Li Luo with her eyes. "Qing"e, there"s no need to spoil him. Just beat him whenever he deserves it."
Jiang Qing"e nodded accordingly with a shallow smile.
With that brief interruption, the atmosphere lightened up. Unfortunately, Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan"s projections gradually became more illusory. The two of them then looked towards the duo. "We originally wanted to talk about a lot of other things, but it seems that time is running out. We have full faith in the two of you. Just remember that if anything happens, your lives are the most important thing. Thus, you can let go of anything, even if it"s House Luolan or our divine matter."
"Await our return!" With that last line, the natal flames flickered and their projections vanished into thin air.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing"e remained rooted in place, focused on their disappearing figures. Not a word was said.
