Absolute Resonance

The climactic battle resulted in Li Luo ascending to the position of Grand Guardian General amidst much fanfare. News of the day’s events had also spread at breakneck speed throughout Godriver City and even the northwestern border. A second-grade Transcendent had overcome four fifth-grade Dukes. It was nothing short of unbelievable. Furthermore, Li Luo would be the first Grand Guardian General in the history of the Five Guardian Armies to have obtained all five Mythic Armaments. This was an achievement that surpassed even his father, Li Taixuan.

Many people sighed. As expected, a tiger father would not give birth to a dog son. Instead, the youth would surpass the previous generation in the time to come. When Li Taixuan was renowned throughout Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, he had suppressed many of his talented peers. However, his son was even more tyrannical, easily dealing with Li Zhihuo and the other Guardian Generals from an older generation, much less his own age group. Countless experts and powers were taken aback by this result.

Li Luo was young and had already forged two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds. The potential and foundation he had demonstrated was frightening. The Path of Ascension was the hardest trial of all. Who knew just many prodigies had been disheartened and failed to progress along it? Meanwhile, Li Luo had already formed two of those bergfrieds, and those were his first two as well! This was worthy of admiration. If he chanced upon more opportunities, he could actually become a true Transcendent Duke. Adding on Jiang Qing'e... it was said that she already had two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds. She might have even progressed further on the Path of Ascension, and as unbelievable as it sounded, if both of them became Transcendent Dukes, didn't that mean that their family had three Transcendent Dukes?

Of course if the public found out that Li Taixuan was a Greater Transcendent Duke as well, they would bitterly gripe to themselves. Four Transcendent Dukes in the family was just a little too much to imagine...

As Godriver City was immersed in shock, in the city lord's manor.

The recently ascended Grand Guardian General was looking curiously at a dragon-shaped cauldron in Li Tianji's hand. The cauldron was the size of his palm, and every scale was engraved with numerous runes, looking exceptionally exquisite and mysterious.

It also emanated some strange undulations. If one were to listen closely, they could make out low, draconic roars from a time long ago.

When this happened, Li Luo could sense the Heavenly Dragon resonance in his body coming to life.

It was now that he understood just what was inside the cauldron.

A Lesser Sacred Seed! The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had a sacred object that could truly be considered to be the foundation of its power: the Dragon Sacred Seed. It was a wondrous creation. Only a Heavenly Emperor was capable of deducing the essence of source origin, using it as material to imitate the Genesis Seed and give life to it.

A Sacred Seed would fuse with someone compatible, and that person’s resonance would rise to the upper ninth-grade. At the same time, it would greatly increase one's potential and talent and give rise to magical powers.

In more impolite terms, even if the individual the Sacred Seed chose to fuse with was a cripple, the moment they absorbed it, they would gain the potential to become a King. Of course, the Sacred Seed itself was mystical, and it was difficult to find someone it was willing to fuse with. After all, the Sacred Seed possessed its own spirituality and would independently select its wielder.

A Lesser Sacred Seed, however, was essentially the failed prototype of the Sacred Seed.

Although it was significantly weaker, it was still rarely seen. Even the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li only had three Lesser Dragon Sacred Seeds. Additionally, the leftover materials used to create the Sacred Seed were used to refine objects like the True Dragon Pill. Those remnants had been of great help to Li Luo in the past.

Li Tianji looked at how curious Li Luo was and smiled. "Hehe... You're not wrong. This is indeed the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed. Now that you've become the Grand Guardian General, as per the rules, this Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed will belong to you for the next ten years."

Although Li Zhihuo had failed to obtain the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed, Li Tianji did not resent Li Luo. As the Mountain Ruling Chief, he was at least a bit magnanimous.

Of course, what was most important was that Tantai Lan was carefully watching him from the side. Knowing her temper, he had to shelve his previous plans for the time being. After all, their original rationale to have the event now was legitimate. Now that Li Luo had obtained the title, Li Tianji didn't dare to cause any further trouble; otherwise, Tantai Lan might truly attempt to test out how hard his old bones were.

"The Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed can elevate your dragon resonance to the middle ninth-grade," Li Tianji patiently explained.

Li Luo's gaze lit up. Currently, the hardest thing to do was to evolve his Heavenly Dragon resonance further. Taking it from the quasi ninth-grade to the lower ninth-grade would require a large amount of ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights. However, the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed before him could allow it to instantly reach the middle ninth-grade! This was more than just a single stage in improvement. His strength would see a drastic rise.

"Furthermore, the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed also contains a sealed lower Destiny-grade Duke Art. It's known as the Dragon Rearing Art, and you don't have to cultivate it. You can activate the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed and utilize it immediately. Lastly, the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed can be integrated into one of your treasures and upgrade it into a high-grade Mythic Armament. This is fully reliant upon the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed's power, so once you return it in the future, the treasure will shatter."

When Li Luo heard this, his gaze burned with even greater fervor.

He had seen the Dragon Rearing Art in the Heavenly Dragon Treasury in the past.

It required one to have a wood resonance and utilize wood resonant power as a seed. After infusing it with dragon's blood essence, it could allow one to summon a true blood dragon. This blood dragon could protect him and fend off enemies. He was moved as he did have a wood resonance. It was fitting for him and he had his eye on it, but the Dragon Blood Atavism Art was even more attractive. Thus, he had to let go of the latter.

Who would have expected that obtaining the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed would allow him to use the other Duke Art he was interested in. The most surprising thing was that he didn't have to cultivate it. This would save him an immense amount of time and effort.

Additionally, it even had the ability to augment a treasured artifact.

With a thought, he swiped his hand past his pocket sphere, and a mottled great-bow appeared in his hand.

It was the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow. It was originally a violet-eye treasured artifact, and it had been unable to keep up with Li Luo's growing strength. He had repeatedly brought it to the edge of being destroyed. The Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed could not only reshape it and preserve it, but also elevate it to an upper-grade Mythic Armament. This would also save Li Luo time from searching for a suitable ranged weapon.

"That bow was refined from a dragon's bone and thus this is very suitable." Li Tianji smiled and nodded in approval.

He then turned towards the dragon cauldron and sighed lightly in his heart. Li Luo was already on the rise, and with the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed, he would become like a tiger with wings. It would make him even more powerful and make his journey through the Path of Ascension more stable.

If Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e both ended up becoming Transcendent Dukes, then their family would have three of them. It would undoubtedly be the strongest family in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. At that point in time, the Dragon's Fang Lineage's reputation and strength would surpass that of the Dragon's Blood Lineage. They could even take the Mountain Ruling rights.

"I hope that the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed allows you to travel further on the Path of Ascension. If you become a Transcendent Duke, you will bring great glory to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li." Li Tianji then passed the dragon cauldron over to Li Luo.

As the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Mountain Ruling Chief, Li Tianji possessed both smarts and the ability to read the situation. Thus, he did not engage in any short-sighted obstructive behavior, but instead offered his blessings. No matter what, Li Luo still belonged to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

If their family truly did end up with three Transcendent Dukes, then the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would become the number one Heavenly Emperor power in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. At that point in time, it would be fine if he stepped down from the position of Mountain Ruling Chief.

Li Luo respectfully received it with a smile.

"Thank you, Lineage Chief Tianji."

Li Tianji smiled and nodded before engaging in some small talk with Tantai Lan. After which, he waved his hand and vanished.

Meanwhile, Li Luo was gaily hugging the dragon cauldron in excitement. He had truly struck gold!
