Absolute Resonance - Chapter 737

Chapter 0737: Dragon’s Fang Domain

The remainder of the long journey passed by without much fanfare.

Li Luo had already forgotten how many kingdoms, mountain ranges, and bustling coastal cities the flying ship had passed by. This entire journey was also filled with harsh environments spawned by the mystical energies of the heavens and earth where Dukes dared not trespass, choosing instead to go around them.

As they continued to rush along, Li Luo and the rest finally arrived at the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent a month later after utilizing a massive teleportation array.

……

Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, Heavenly City

Heavenly City was the name of this majestic and resplendent city. It was said that anyone from the outer divine continents who wished to enter the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent had to go through this nexus, and its very name radiated a certain form of arrogance, demonstrating the attitude people from the inner divine continents had towards those from the outer divine continents.

This attitude caused Li Luo to feel a little ruffled. It seemed like the inner divine continents were giving off a sense of superiority.

Regardless, he was completely taken aback by the sheer density of worldly natural energy that suffused the air.

When Li Luo came through the massive teleportation array, the first thing he could feel was the boundless amounts of worldly natural energy that surrounded him. The energy felt robust and concentrated, and it was even comparable to the skygold room in House Luolan.

One had to remember that the skygold room was created with the usage of massive amounts of resources. This, on the other hand, simply existed everywhere.

One could only say that the worldly natural energy in the inner divine continents was much more dense compared to the outer divine continents.

Perhaps it was such conditions that allowed them to be a true cultivation holy lands.

Just as Li Luo was engrossed in the magnificence of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent’s worldly natural energy, Li Rouyun did not hesitate to push the flying ship forward, directly towards the north.

“Heavenly City is just at the frontier of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. We have to pass through ten-odd more cities and borrow the assistance of more teleportation arrays to arrive at the Dragon’s Fang Domain,” Li Rouyun explained.

“Oh, yes. The Dragon’s Fang Domain is the Dragon’s Fang Lineage’s exclusive fief. Within are twelve territories, each larger than the Xia Kingdom by countless times.” Li Luo directly sucked in a breath of cool air in shock. Just a single territory was larger than the Xia Kingdom? How frightening was the scale of twelve of them?! And this was just the Dragon’s Fang Lineage. There were four others with their own domains. This was mind-boggling. Was this the strength of a Heavenly Emperor power?

Even Li Luo had to reluctantly admit that he felt like a country bumpkin at this point.

“I really have been a frog in the well, thinking that my little riches in the countryside are worth mentioning when visiting actually rich relatives,” he said self-deprecatingly.

Li Rouyun shook her head. “You are not visiting your relatives… this is your home. Grandpa is the Dragon’s Fang Lineage chief and you are his grandson. You possess the most direct of bloodlines, and strictly speaking, you even have the qualifications to inherit the Dragon’s Fang Domain. Of course, that would be dependent on your own strength.”

Li Luo smiled but did not say anything more. Although his clan was impressive, deep down in his heart, he most enjoyed his team in House Luolan. His parents and Jiang Qing’e lived there.

Li Rouyun seemed to be able to read his thoughts but did not say much more either. No matter what, whether it was the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li or his grandpa, both were foreign to him. And even though blood was thicker than water, the Dragon’s Fang Lineage had not played any part in Li Luo’s life. Thus, hoping that he would immediately accept them was simply overly optimistic.

On the other hand, Li Rouyun believed that once Li Luo arrived, he would grow to love it there.

Thus, she did not say anything else, only continuing to operate the flying ship.

Meanwhile, Li Luo and Ox Biaobiao continued to chat for the rest of the day before moving to the middle of the flying ship. There were several small cabins suitable for one to rest in during such long journeys.

Li Luo sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

The Three Revolutions Draconic Breath continued to operate as it swallowed copious amounts of Earth Fiend energy, eventually refining it into a strand of abstruse fiend light and absorbing it into his fiend palace.

Li Luo had cultivated diligently throughout the month-long journey as he was clear that although he would have a significant backer at the Dragon’s Fang Lineage, this did not mean that his problems would be solved. Based on what Li Rouyun had mentioned, if he wanted more resources for cultivation, he would have to rely on his own abilities.

Thus, he had to possess sufficient personal might in order to gain attention.

Time flew by as he cultivated, and Li Luo observed internally that there were over a thousand strands of abstruse fiend light floating around inside his fiend palace.

His mental state quickly tallied up the strands of light.

One thousand and three hundred!

Indeed, his strands of abstruse fiend light had already exceeded a thousand. Just a month ago, when he was still in the City of Southwind, he had only around three hundred strands. Clearly, Li Luo had not relaxed during this month of hurried travel.

“My waterlight resonance palace should be able to hold up to five thousand strands of abstruse fiend light.” A usual lesser fiend palace was able to contain three thousand strands of abstruse fiend light. Of course, this was not the absolute maximum, but it would differ depending on the person’s compatibility and resonance grade. Simply speaking, the more compatible one was, the more they could hold.

Normally speaking, one had to have an upper eighth-grade resonance to contain five thousand strands of abstruse fiend light when they were at the Lesser Fiend Palace Tier.

Li Luo’s resonance had not reached the upper eighth-grade yet, but his upper seventh-grade waterlight resonance with its primary and secondary traits was not any inferior when compared to one.

“Based on this speed, reaching five thousand strands will take approximately another three months.” Li Luo continued to quietly observe the inside of his waterlight resonance palace. Only when there were enough strands of abstruse fiend light could his resonant palace reach the Greater Fiend Palace Tier. But even though three months seemed short to others, it was too extravagant for him.

He had two other resonant palaces as well, and they would require a period of time to refine and temper too.

“I need to reduce this to two months,” Li Luo mumbled to himself. The speed at which one refined abstruse fiend lights was dependent on several factors. The most important was the grade of the Fiend Art, and since the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath he cultivated was a Five Fiends Art, it could be considered the best in the Xia Kingdom. However, that might not be the case in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.

Thus, once Li Luo arrived at the Dragon’s Fang Lineage, he would look for even higher grade Fiend Art.

If one wanted to further bolster the speed at which they refined abstruse fiend lights, they could utilize external aid such as Fiend Origin Pills. These were pills that only Three Star Hall students were qualified to buy in the Astral Sage College, and the quantities available were tiny. However, with the Dragon’s Fang Lineage’s foundations, they would be able to afford even more pills. If it was possible, Li Luo would like an ocean’s worth of them.

At the end of the day, it also boiled down to cultivation resources.

Of course, if one had to be blunt, this was precisely the reason why Li Luo was willing to brave the distance.

The Dragon’s Fang Lineage had a terrifying background and should be able to easily support a leech like him.

With this in mind, Li Luo grinned before he shut his eyes and immersed himself into his cultivation, beginning to refine more abstruse fiend lights.

Day after day passed quickly as he cultivated.

In a blink, another half a month had passed by.

On this day, Li Rouyun slightly relieved voice was transmitted into Li Luo’s ear, reminding him to wake up.

“Li Luo, we have arrived at the Dragon’s Fang Domain.”

Li Luo was awakened from his cultivation stupor. An uncontrollable sense of curiosity and anticipation arose within him.

Was he finally about to meet his grandfather face to face for the first time?
