Chapter 1593: Dragon Sacred Seed! Nine Dragons Paragon Emperor Seal!

The mysterious dragon pearl slowly rose higher in the air, entering the eyes of the Lineage Chiefs. All of them sighed with admiration in its presence. The Dragon Sacred Seed was the true foundation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, and every single Lineage Chief had borrowed its power during cultivation to reach the King Stage. Today, the Dragon Sacred Seed would finally have a new owner.

Everyone, especially Li Tianji, was quite surprised about whose hands it ended up in. The most likely candidate to inherit it was once Li Taixuan, though he had left the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li a long time ago. Therefore, the most likely person was the Dragon's Blood Lineage's Li Jiluo.

He was currently a ninth-grade Duke and wasn't far from the King Stage. At this point, if he could inherit the Dragon Sacred Seed, he could borrow this opportunity to understand source origin energy and greatly increase his chances of entering the King Stage. However, no one could have guessed that Li Luo, a junior from the next generation, would ascend the ranks with lightning speed. In just three short years, he had emerged as a dark horse, reaching the Sixth Transcendent Duke Stage. On top of that, he was so highly regarded by the Ancestor that he was named the sixth Lineage Chief. Even the incredibly qualified Li Jiluo had been squeezed out from the running as a result.

Li Tianji closely observed the Dragon Sacred Seed with a complicated look in his eyes. He had planned to have Li Jiluo use it in order to facilitate his breakthrough into the King Stage. At that point, Li Tianji could step down from the position of Mountain Ruling Chief and entrust the responsibility to Li Jiluo. He trusted Li Jiluo deeply and had kept him close for many years. He also believed that Li Jiluo was qualified to be the Mountain Ruling Chief. The Dragon's Blood Lineage would only attain greater heights in his hands, and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would be strengthened. It was a pity... that when compared to Li Luo, who was not only a sixth-grade Transcendent but also possessed the Absolute Resonance Seed, the shining Li Jiluo of the Dragon's Blood Lineage looked much dimmer in comparison and thus lost the competition.

"Li Luo, this is the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Dragon Sacred Seed. You have extraordinary talent, the best in tens of generations within the bloodline. Perhaps only in your hands can the Dragon Sacred Seed evolve into an acquired Genesis Seed." Li Tianji pushed out with his hand, causing the dragon pearl that contained the Dragon Sacred Seed to float before Li Luo.

Li Luo was staring at it with unrequited passion and desire. He could sense the Heavenly Dragon resonance letting out triumphant and jubilant roars. The Sacred Seed's power stemmed from source origin energy, so he would gain unimaginable benefits by absorbing it. This was the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's most precious treasure, and it now belonged to him.

He took a deep breath and his expression turned solemn before he once again cupped his fist towards Li Tianji and the rest of the Lineage Chiefs. "I will be sure to keep the Dragon Sacred Seed safe. If I manage to evolve it into a Genesis Seed one day, I'll definitely leave it for future generations."

Based on the bloodline's rules, once the inheritor of the Dragon Sacred Seed was chosen, it would remain with the individual for a hundred years. After which, it would be retrieved and returned for posterity. This was wh Heavenly Emperor powers could produce more Kings than other peak powers. The Sacred Seed was the key to this.

Li Luo then stretched his hand out, using a finger to slice open his palm and allowing the Dragon Sacred Seed to enter his body. Then he channeled his blood towards it. When blood entered the Dragon Sacred Seed, Li Luo could clearly sense strands of ancient and pure Heavenly Dragon aura fuse with it. After which, it settled into the depths of his body.

His body began to slowly undergo a metamorphosis, becoming much more robust.

This was just the initial stage of the fusion process, yet he had already experienced great benefits. Only when it had truly fused with his body would he experience more of its wonders.

When Tantai Lan saw all this, a look of satisfaction surfaced on her face. With the Dragon Sacred Seed, Li Luo's ability to protect himself from a King had risen greatly.

"Lineage Chief Tianji, if I remember correctly, Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li possesses a Heavenly Dragon Transcendent Art by the name of the Nine Dragons' Paragon Emperor Seal," she said with a grin.

"Oh? A Heavenly Dragon Transcendent Art? The Nine Dragons' Paragon Emperor Seal?" Li Luo's eyes were like saucers. The art sounded incredibly domineering! How was it that he had not heard of it before? Was this the incredible foundation of a Heavenly Emperor's power?

Li Tianji's expression stiffened. She wanted the Heavenly Dragon Transcendent Art as well? Would that be too much? It wasn't that he was reluctant to give it up. However, rewards and punishments had to come in stride. If he were to give everything out at once, then how could he motivate Li Luo in the future? There would be nothing left to give out, neither titles nor rewards! That would be the biggest headache for anyone in power.

"Lineage Chief Tantai, mastering the Nine Dragons Paragon Emperor Seal is much more difficuly than other Transcendent Arts. Only three of the five Lineage Chiefs have succeeded. Although Li Luo has inherited the Dragon Sacred Seed, I'm afraid he might not have the energy to comprehend that art. Perhaps it will be more suitable for him once he becomes a Transcendent Duke," Li Tianji said.

When Li Luo heard this, he coughed dryly. "Lineage Chief Tianji, don't need to worry. Have you not heard of the Divine Knowledge State of the Genesis Seed? When I enter that state, my comprehension of resonance arts flows like water, and Transcendent Arts are no exception. Furthermore, I am in perfect harmony with Sister Qing'e and can share in her Divine Knowledge, allowing me to comprehend this Transcendent Art at a greater rate of success."

The other four Lineage Chiefs were flabbergasted by this revelation, then they glanced enviously at Jiang Qing'e. The Genesis Seed was beyond rare, so its mystical abilities were not well understood.

Jiang Qing'e composed expression changed. She blushed slightly and her snow-white earlobes began to heat up. She simply couldn't stand hearing Li Luo referring to the Divine Knowledge State. This bad man was using the pretext of the state of Divine Knowledge to indulge in wanton pleasure time and time again, causing untold suffering to others! While she was feeling dazed, Li Luo lightly grasped her petite hand and playfully teased her palm.

"This guy has become more and more brazen after reaching the Sixth Transcendent Stage,"

she thought to herself, gritting her teeth. If he truly surpassed her one day, she might be so infuriated that she would tear the house down.

She rolled her eyes at him and explained to the Lineage Chiefs, "Li Luo said is correct. My Divine Knowledge can assist one with cultivating and understanding a Transcendent Art."

Her confirmation of Li Luo's words caused the Lineage Chiefs to glance at each other and sigh.

In the end, Li Tianji merely waved his sleeve without saying a word, causing a beam of light to shoot out of his robes, revealing a jade case. Opening the jade case revealed a seal with nine golden dragons sculpted into it.

Roar!

A devastating roar boomed from Li Luo's body and a sea of clouds appeared between the earth and the heavens. Within the cloud sea were nine gigantic creatures, their eyes locked on to him. Tyrannical and overbearing pressure poured out of them, seemingly able to smash the skies apart. Li Luo's expression remained unchanged as the roar of a Heavenly Dragon came out of him. A violet-gold Heavenly Dragon circled his head, erupting with tremendous pressure that dispersed the cloud sea, causing the outside pressure to dissipate.

The scene around him changed rapidly, then Li Luo suddenly realized that he was holding the seal with nine dragons. Ancient words could be seen on each scale of the sculptures.

He then casually put the seal in his pocket sphere.

"I will return it once I've mastered the art." He gave a simple smile. However, in his heart, he was ecstatically celebrating with joy.

"I'm rich! Rich, I tell you!"

He had truly pilfered the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li today.

Li Tianji nodded helplessly and then gave Jiang Qing'e a warm smile. "Speaking of which, Qing'e has also contributed immensely in resolving the Other Disaster."

Jiang Qing'e seemed nonchalant as she casually replied, "Li Luo and Mother are both here, so I naturally did my best. I have no need for a reward."

Li Tianji shook his head. "The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li has always been clear about rewards and punishments."

Jiang Qing'e was the Genesis Seed and, honestly speaking, had a very weak connection to the bloodline. With that in mind, how could he pass up an opportunity to gain her favor? Considering that they had just been looted by Li Luo, instead of remaining passive and stingy, it made more sense to take the initiative and gain greater favor. He sighed deeply and waved his sleeve, causing a crimson-gold beam of light to shoot out. A moment later, an object floated before her.

As soon as the object appeared, the temperature in the surroundings began to climb rapidly, to the point that the void was starting to distort. Then the faint but clear cry of a phoenix was heard.

Within the crimson-gold ball of light was a crimson-gold umbrella. It was currently folded up and had an exceptionally straight and slender handle, while its tip was devilishly sharp. At first glance, it resembled a spear! The umbrella's surface was adorned with golden dancing phoenixes.

"A Venerated Heirloom?!" Li Luo's gaze was filled with shock. This spear-like umbrella gave off fluctuations that surpassed a Mythic Armament in terms of power, and it flowed with faint traces of source origin energy. Venerated Heirlooms were priceless, and looking at what the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li could possibly have collected over the years, it was likely that there were very, very few of these artifacts in the treasury.

It looked as though Li Tianji was willing to sweep the treasury clean for the sake of winning Jiang Qing'e's heart! At this point, even Li Luo couldn't help but to feel a deep sense of awe and respect towards the Mountain Ruling Chief.
