Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1406: Clues to the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art

As he watched the crystal float over to him, Li Luo's heart surged with emotion and a complicated look surfaced in his eyes. When Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had left in a hurry, they had left behind a precariously shaking House Luolan to Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. As a result, the duo were placed under immense pressure, especially Jiang Qing'e. She not only had to cultivate in Astral Sage College, but also had to deal with the matters of House Luolan both internally and externally. At that point, she was merely an Earth Fiend General. Li Luo had a blank palace then and could only watch idly as Jiang Qing'e single-handedly guarded House Luolan from the enemies in the open and in the dark.

If she had not managed to eke out those few precious years of time for him to cultivate and also resolve the issue of the blank palace, they simply might have been unable to protect House Luolan. At that point in time, Li Luo did feel a hint of resentment towards his parents’ sudden departure.

The adults had left without a word, only to place House Luolan in the hands of their children. It did seem a little irresponsible after all. However, it was only now that he finally found out why they had left.

Everything was for him. They clearly didn't have much of a choice in this matter. Why else would they choose to endure the pain of longing and to enter the incredibly dangerous Nobles' Battlefield?

As their parents, what they cared most about was their childrens' safety and future.

This was why they were willing to brave dangers in an unknown land.

Tan Tailan could sense Li Luo's turbulent emotions, and she once again stretched out a hand to ruffle his hair. "We originally wanted one of us to stay behind to stay with the two of you. However, we ended up choosing to leave together. The Nobles' Battlefield was simply too dangerous, and we weren't comfortable letting just one of us go."

They had then experienced numerous perilous situations, and if they had not worked together, they might have very well perished. Li Luo stretched his hand out and tightly grasped the crystal. It may have been as light as a feather, but he could feel the heavy emotions that were contained within.

Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan left for the Nobles' Battlefield and ventured through countless life-and-death situations for the sake of this very object.

Tan Tailan could sense Li Luo's feelings, and she turned towards Jiang Qing'e with a smile. "I also have a gift for you Little Jiang'e."

She lightly swiped at the void, and a palm-sized white-jade statue appeared. They were unable to see the form of the statue as it was blurry, but two wings protruded out of its back and it gave off an unimaginably holy aura. It was as though there was a divine substance flowing within it.

"This is a Holy Radiance Stone Marrow. It is a requisite item for refining an upper ninth-grade purifying light. If you use it to temper your resonance, you can increase your lower ninth-grade light resonance to the middle ninth-grade. Taixuan and I fought off several Kings, both humans and Others, to obtain it in a forbidden zone."

When faced with this incredibly valuable treasure, even Jiang Qing'e was moved. Its value was inestimable, considering that even Kings had fought over it. Perhaps the Nobles' Battlefield was the only place where such treasures could be found.

However, Jiang Qing'e did not hypocritically reject this precious treasure, instead magnanimously accepting it. "Thank you, Mother."

When compared to the boundless love they had for each other, such an object didn't mean much.

Jiang Qing'e then asked with worry, "Mother, will the hidden dangers of the Absolute Resonance Seed be resolved by the Lesser Myriad Resonances Golden Pill?"

"Well, it won't be a problem until he obtains seven Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds at the very least. The Absolute Resonance Seed will not cause any issues until then."

This meant that before Li Luo became a true Transcendent Duke, the Absolute Resonance Seed would not lose control.

She then turned towards Li Luo hurriedly. "That said, your cultivation speed has exceeded our expectations. We expected you to take the full five years to reach the Duke Stage. Who would have expected that you'd manage to obtain a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried and embark on the Path of Ascension in merely four? My return seems to be quite timely. If I had taken any longer, you might have ended up suffering because of the Absolute Resonance Seed."

Li Luo helplessly replied, "The Absolute Resonance Seed is a little difficult to cater to. First, it left me with only five years of lifespan remaining, and now I'm shackled and prevented from becoming a true Transcendent Duke?"

"It's hard to deal with, but it is still the ultimate treasure of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. At the same time, it represents a path that allows one to transcend the world." Tan Tailan replied. ꞦаꞐö₿ĘȘ

"Well, I can't see why it's that great either. This blank palace thing is a pain in the ass," Li Luo muttered. The blank palace might have provided him certain benefits, but the refinement of acquired resonances was an arduous and troublesome process. All in all, it didn't fit the image of an ultimate treasure with no comparison.

Tan Tailan smiled. "The Absolute Resonance Seed has not awakened yet, so of course you haven’t unraveled its untold mysteries. Perhaps after absorbing the Lesser Myriad Resonances Golden Pill, the Absolute Resonance Halo will truly wake up."

"Really? Will it change after awakening?" Li Luo asked curiously.

Tan Tailan pondered over this for a moment. "Perhaps it could even let you experience the power of resonance source origin in advance."

"The power of resonance source origin?" Li Luo's eyes shrunk and he was left speechless.

Even Jiang Qing'e was moved by this. Source origin energy was what defined King Stage experts, and only after reaching the King Stage could one come into contact with it. If a mere first-grade Duke like Li Luo could already come into contact with it, wouldn't it be cheating? It would be akin to children fighting with sticks, but the one wielding source origin would suddenly be able to pull out a crossbow and a sharp sword. How could they even be remotely comparable?

"It's not that unbelievable. If the Absolute Resonance Seed didn't have such an ability, how could it be considered the culmination of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's generations of effort, much less a peerless treasure of the sect? Furthermore, how strong one's source origin is will depend on the number of resonances they possess and the strength of their resonant power. It's not really a power that would let you ascend into the skies with a single step," Tan Tailan explained as though it was very normal.

"Furthermore, after the Absolute Resonance Seed awakens, the resonant power within your body will fuse under the effects of the Absolute Resonance Halo and transform into a type of resonant power that is unique. Just by looking at the number of resonances you have, it can be termed as hexa-resonance power."

"Hexa-resonance power?!" Li Luo couldn't help but gulp. That sounded extraordinarily domineering, and it was said that even Kings were only capable of triple resonance power. However, Li Luo also understood that the triple resonance power of Kings was the fusion of three kinds of source origin energy. It was unparalleled. If he wanted to borrow the aid of the Absolute Resonance Halo to fuse his six different kinds of resonant power, it would still be incomparable to what Kings wielded. Unless, of course, he could convert all his resonances into their source origin—then that could truly be considered to be the peak of power.

Li Luo suddenly felt the itch to refine the Lesser Myriad Resonances Golden Pill right here and now to awaken the Absolute Resonance Seed.

"Oh, yes..." He suddenly remembered something, and he looked expectantly towards his mother. "Mother, when I broke into the Duke Stage, a fourth resonant palace was born, but it is a blank palace. However, since I’m at the Duke Stage, I need to use the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art in order to create a suitable acquired resonance. Do you happen to have that?"

When faced with Li Luo's expectant gaze, Tan Tailan waved her hands.

"The Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art? I'm sorry. I don't have it."

Li Luo's smile dimmed.

"Then what am I supposed to do with this fourth palace? Could it be that I'll have to search for lost ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect?" Li Luo asked in a daze.

"That would be too difficult. Even Heavenly Emperors are unable to locate the ruins. Ever since the day we stumbled into it, it has not reemerged ever again," Tan Tailan said.

Li Luo felt downcast. Could it be that his path to the Absolute Resonance had ended before it even truly began?

Tan Tailan then patted Jiang Qing'e's back and grinned. "Look, look. He's anxious."

Jiang Qing'e didn't know whether to laugh or to smile. "Mother, please stop tormenting Li Luo. You must have found some clues to that as well, right?"

Tan Tailan replied, "What's the point of having a son if I can't mess with him?"

Li Luo's depressed gaze swiveled over to her.

Tan Tailan smiled. "The ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect probably cannot be found any time soon. However, they left numerous traces behind throughout the world, and there might be clues to where the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art can be found. When a whale dies, countless creatures are born and thrive because of it. Numerous peak powers have also benefited from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's fortunes. For example, the monumental Academic Federation, which has survived the longest thus far."

"The Academic Federation?" Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were a little taken aback. They were not unfamiliar with it, as they had studied in its colleges prior.

"Mother, are you trying to say that the Academic Federation has the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art?" Li Luo asked in shock.

Tan Tailan nodded.

"Within the Academic Federation is a holy land that was inherited from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. There are many legacies there, and the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art should be one of them. This holy land is also known as... the Celestial Mirror Pagoda."
