Chapter 1819: Location of the Ruins

"So Little Jiang'e transformed into a series of temples to seal the Dark Sect Master for ten years?" Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan and were shocked after hearing Li Luo recount the series of events since they had been exiled into the void.

They then raised their heads to look at the Acheronian Sun and Blood Moon in the sky. They naturally saw the majestic and mysterious divine temples that lined it. Each and every one of the temples gave off a familiar aura.

Li Luo nodded in confirmation.

Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan turned to glance at each other briefly and then sighed in their hearts. While it was unfortunate that Qing'e wasn't here, at least she hadn't perished.

"I never thought that the Absolute Resonance Seed we found in the ruins all those years ago would be part of the Dark Sect Master's ploy," said Tantai Lan self-beratingly. Now that Li Luo had lost the Absolute Resonance Seed, in retrospect, it had indeed been a source of calamity and his resonances had mostly dissipated.

"I would never have entered the ruins if I had known it would end up like this," she continued with regretful and tearful eyes.

Li Luo smiled and shook his head. "That's not correct. If you two hadn't entered, I would not have obtained such a wonderful wife."

Tantai Lan was speechless for a moment, then she nodded. "That is true as well. Little Jiang'e is such a great daughter-in-law. I'm glad we found her."

Li Taixuan nodded in agreement. All of them were in agreement on this point. Afterwards, they all grinned at each other and the mood lifted.

"I hate to interrupt the three of you," Heavenly Emperor Jiang suddenly said, laughing.

Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan then turned towards him with clasped fists, sincerely thanking him.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang bitterly smiled at the couple as he said, "Heavenly Emperors Xuan and Lan, you're now caught up on the situation. Her Excellency the Radiant Goddess transformed herself into divine temples to seal the Dark Sect Master for ten years, of which four years have already passed. In six years' time, the Dark Sect Master will emerge as a true tenth-grade resonance wielder, and no one will be able to stop her. According to Her Excellency the Radiant Goddess, hope can be found in the ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's headquarters.

"However, despite searching tirelessly for four years, the rest of the Heavenly Emperors and myself haven't so much as found a single trace of it. You two managed to chance upon it all those years ago, so I was wondering, do you have any leads?"

The Heavenly Emperors had truly done all they could to find the ruins, overturning the divine continents several times. However, it was as though the ruins had completely vanished with not a trace to be found. The only option left was to retrieve Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan from the depths of the void as quickly as they could, to hopefully find some new information.

Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan's expressions changed as they turned to look at each other. "The ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's headquarters? We might be the only people in the world with any clues."

Heavenly Emperor Jiang's eyes lit up in excitement upon hearing those words.

Tantai Lan didn't beat around the bush. "It's not surprising that you were unable to find the ruins. They were hidden within the final resonance of the Sect Master, after all."

Everyone's expressions changed. They all knew that there was still a resonance left behind by the Legendary Sect Master that had yet to emerge.

"The spatial fog resonance?" Li Luo asked.

The spatial fog resonance was a dual resonance containing the space and fog resonances. It was the only one that hadn't been found yet.

Tantai Lan nodded. "Actually, the ruins have been in the divine continents all along. The only thing is that it occasionally moves when a spatial shift occurs, but it's not necessarily considered hidden. The reason why you have been unable to locate it is because it is cloaked in a secretive fog, capable of obscuring even the river of time."

"The fog resonance's power..." Heavenly Emperor Jiang sighed in astonishment as he finally understood.

The most powerful cultivators on the continents had spent several years dutifully searching for the ruins, and it was no surprise they had failed to find them, considering the method that had been used to hide them. It turned out that the terrifying fog resonance had shielded the ruins from detection. Perhaps the ruins were right before their eyes, but they simply couldn't see them despite sweeping the area countless times.

Li Luo then asked, "Then how did you enter it in the past, Father and Mother?"

"All those years ago, Taixuan and I had gone out to temper ourselves. We just randomly approached the ruins, and my space resonance resonated with the Sect Master's space resonance, opening up a spatial rift that allowed us to enter. It was all a supreme coincidence."

At this point, Tantai Lan paused. "No... Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence. Maybe it was all a part of the Dark Sect Master's ploy."

Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had always thought that they had stumbled into the ruins by pure chance, but upon hearing of the Dark Sect Master's actions and the fact that she had seized the Absolute Resonance Seed from Li Luo, that couldn't possibly be the case. This was all a conspiracy. The Dark Sect Master's strength exceeded everyone's comprehension. Furthermore, the conspiracy had spanned across the long river of time.

Li Taixuan fell silent, a severe expression on his face. It was clear that he was infuriated at the fact that the Dark Sect Master had played him like a fiddle.

Li Luo then reached out to hold his mother's hand and console her. "Mother, there's no need to be concerned about all this. All of it is in the past and is no longer important. We must look at the future and plan for it. We have to find the ruins and enter them to find the answers we seek."

Tantai Lan nodded in agreement, then she turned towards Heavenly Emperor Jiang and said, "I will travel across the divine continents and attempt to sense the space resonance. Once I can confirm its location, we can gather all of the Heavenly Emperors' powers to forcefully tear apart the fog that obscures it and wrench it into this world."

Heavenly Emperor Jiang's eyes lit up as he laughed heartily. "I'll have to trouble you then, Heavenly Emperor Lan."

Tantai Lan shook her head and lightly patted Li Luo's shoulder, her eyes filled with tenderness. "Since my children have already done so much, how can we as parents not do our best? We can't delay anymore, so I'll start immediately."

She was truly a decisive one. Although it had been years since she had last seen her son, she understood the gravity of the situation. Li Luo wasn't a child anymore, and more importantly, they had to find a way to deal with the Dark Sect Master with the ten years Qing'e had done her best to obtain for them.

"Alright, I'll inform the other Heavenly Emperors to prepare themselves and assist once you provide the signal," said Heavenly Emperor Jiang.

He immediately gave the command, summoning the other Heavenly Emperors to form the most extravagant team of protectors in history to keep Tantai Lan safe and locate the ruins. Li Luo naturally followed.

For the following half a year, the Heavenly Emperors formed groups to follow Tantai Lan as she scoured every corner of the divine continents. In the end, in the fifth year of the sealing of the Dark Sect Master, Tantai Lan grinned as she pointed at a mountain range not far away.

Her slightly tired voice immediately roused the spirits of the Heavenly Emperors who accompanied her. "We've finally found it."
