Chapter 1568: Shocking the Lineage Chiefs

Looking at the Lineage Chiefs' confused expressions, Tantai Lan pouted as she asked, "It seems like you haven't heard of the ancient Sacred Void Resonance Sect's Absolute Resonance Seed."

"Absolute Resonance Seed?" Li Tianji and Li Qingying seemed to be racking through their memories for a moment before their hearts trembled.

The Sacred Void Resonance Sect was the behemoth of their era. They were naturally aware of them as Kings from a Heavenly Emperor power. The only thing was that the existence of the Absolute Resonance Seed was extremely secretive, and after the sect vanished in the long river of time, there were almost no traces of it left behind.

Thus, if Tantai Lan had not mentioned it, they would not have made that connection. However, just what was Tantai Lan trying to say?

Li Tianji's gaze lingered on Li Luo for a while, then he asked, "Lineage Chief Tantai, are you saying that Li Luo is the Absolute Resonance Seed?"

Li Qingying was a little dazed. "Didn't the Absolute Resonance Seed disappear with the destruction of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, vanishing from history itself? How could Li Luo..."

"When I entered the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's ruins all those years ago, I came across a large opportunity," Tantai Lan indifferently explained.

It was then that Li Tianji and Li Qingying were reminded that Tantai Lan had once entered the ruined headquarters of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, hidden within the depths of the void and obscured by the fog of time. It all made sense now!

Li Tianji's eyes shone brightly when he came to that realization, and his gaze towards Li Luo turned feverish. "The Absolute Resonance Seed... I heard that it was created with painstaking effort by many Sect Masters of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, and they dedicated immense amounts of resources to make it. It is no less mysterious than the Genesis Seed. It is no wonder Li Luo has so many resonances. This is also consistent with the accounts of the legendary powers of the Absolute Resonance Seed."

If the Absolute Resonance Seed was as mighty as it was rumored to be, then Li Luo was sure to become extraordinary and renowned in future. The fact that the Sacred Void Resonance Sect became a domineering behemoth of its era might very well have a connection to the Absolute Resonance Seed.

"It's no wonder the Ancestor declared that Li Luo would be the sixth Lineage Chief. The potential he holds is indeed terrifying." Li Tianji now understood why Heavenly Emperor Li had placed such importance on Li Luo and made him a Lineage Chief before he reached the King Stage.

From another perspective, him possessing the Absolute Resonance Seed meant that he had even more potential than even the Sacred Seed inheritors.

"A Genesis Seed and the Absolute Resonance Seed... Is the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li about to herald in a new era of growth and prosperity?" Li Qingying blurted out.

Li Tianji nodded in agreement with a complicated expression. At this point, he knew that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would belong to the Dragon's Fang Lineage. The Dragon's Blood Lineage's radiance would be a thing of the past. The position of Mountain Ruling Chief would sit in their hands. Although he felt a sense of melancholy over this, he didn't harbor any other thoughts. He knew that if Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e became Heavenly Emperors, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would soar as well, turning into the true number one Heavenly Emperor power in the world. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would be elevated to that position by them. Li Tianji could die without any regrets if he witnessed all of that.

With this thought in mind, he managed to relax a little and revealed a wide smile, cusping his hands towards Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. "The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li will do everything it can to protect you on your path. So long as any of the resources we have are helpful to you, you can take it for your needs."

Li Tianji understood why the Ancestor had also done what he did. He wanted the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li to become Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's strongest backer.

The two then glanced at each other before hurriedly respectfully returning the gesture. Even though Li Luo didn't agree with some of Li Tianji's decisions in the past, the man was more than qualified to be the Mountain Ruling Chief and the growth and benefit of the entire bloodline had always been his top priority.

Tantai Lan nodded in approval. Now that her children were sixth-grade Transcendent Dukes, she didn't have to hide their secrets anymore. Revealing them before would have exposed them to envy and danger, and they were too weak to defend themselves. It was akin to a little child ferrying gold across the city; many would covet their things. The two had now spread their wings, and so long as a King did not interfere, they could go wherever they wished. On the other hand, revealing their secrets meant that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would place an even greater emphasis on protecting them, instead of spawning avaricious thoughts.

Li Luo smiled at Li Qingying at this point. "Lineage Chief Qingying, if you require any other upper ninth-grade resonances for the Evil Cleansing Formation, you can let me know and I can assist with that."

After speaking, he flicked out a strand of resonant power that floated in the air before the group. It then transformed into eight different kinds of resonant power. Water, light, earth, wood, Heavenly Dragon, thunder, crystal, ice.

"These are my eight resonances. With the aid of the Absolute Resonance Seed, I can convert them into a single resonant type and temporarily reach the upper ninth-grade," he explained with a smile.

Back in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, Li Luo utilized the Absolute Resonance Seed to temporarily gain the power of an upper ninth-grade light resonance. However, that was only possible because he was on the Star of Light. Now that his strength had taken a leap forward and he had obtained a middle ninth-grade ice crystal resonance, he wouldn't need to pay any sort of price to transform his resonances into a single upper ninth-grade resonance.

Hearing Li Luo's arrogant words caused Li Tianji and Li Qingying to turn a little dazed.

"Eight resonances... and you can transform any one of them into an upper ninth-grade at will...?"

The Lineage Chiefs looked at each other as though this revelation had destroyed all of the understanding they had of resonances. Was this the mystical power of the Absolute Resonance Seed? It was truly unbelievable.

"Having yet another type of upper ninth-grade resonant power would be great. It can allow for our Evil Cleansing Formation to become even stronger." Li Qingying was exuberant upon hearing this. She examined the eight resonant power attributes floating in front of Li Luo and then sat down cross-legged, clasped her hands together, and conjured an ancient dragon scale mirror. The mirror's surface flickered and countless obscure and complicated runes appeared, beginning to continuously fuse, deducing a formation.

She would use Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e as the cores for the formation.

Meanwhile, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were sitting opposite her, circulating their resonant power, attempting to fuse it together at Li Qingying's request.

As the three continued with the analytical process, Tantai Lan and Li Tianji took their leave.

"Lineage Chief Tantai, what transpired all those years ago was indeed due to mys short-sightedness. If you holds a grudge, please direct it towards me and not towards the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li." Li Tianji's expression was solemn, showing that his apology was indeed full of sincerety.

Tantai Lan paused. She had an indifferent expression. In fact, she had never concealed the fact that she disliked the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Her original intention was to take Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e away, but Li Jingzhe had unexpectedly burdened her with the responsibilities of the Dragon's Fang Lineage just before his death. She was uninterested in the position as Lineage Chief, but since Li Jingzhe had sacrificed himself to protect Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, he had more than demonstrated his worth as a grandfather. It was because of this that she had decided to act as Lineage Chief.

Li Tianji and everyone else in power were well aware of her intentions.

The other four Lineage Chiefs have often given her face over the past two years. Obviously, they were afraid that if she became unhappy, she would leave the Dragon's Fang Lineage without a head. Although the other four lineages would then enjoy a greater amount of resources, they also knew that that was nothing compared to the loss of a mighty King.

"All of that happened a long time ago. I'm uninterested in digging up the past. Li Luo and Qing'e have been cultivating within the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li for a few years now and you have not neglected them in any way. They are people who know how to repay favors and will definitely express their appreciation," Tantai Lan calmly replied.

"However, I hope that what happened to me will not happen to them."

Li Tianji fell silent before clasping his fist towards Tantai Lan. "I assure you that no matter what happens, no matter what sort of mighty enemy we have to face, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li will rally all of our strength to guard them."

Tantai Lan nodded and then disappeared into the distance, leaving behind a final sentence that drifted with the wind.

"If that is the case, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li will become more prosperous than ever before."
