Chapter 1262: World End's River Treasure Domain
Li Jingzhe took the lead and left with the elders. The bustling and lively chatter in the surroundings continued.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e returned to the district of the Dragon's Fang Guardians. Many of the members were cheering to welcome them back. Some even looked at Li Luo with admiration.
Previously, Li Luo had been handed the Fourth Grand Commander position because of his past achievements as the leader of the Green Nether Banner. Becoming the Dragon's Head was a commendable contribution to the Dragon's Fang Lineage.
However, he was only at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier at the moment, which wasn't really befitting of a Grand Commander. That said, he had truly proven his worth with his victory today.
Li Luo wasn’t a Duke yet, but his talent was extraordinary. It wasn't at all inferior to Jiang Qing'e's talent. During his fight with Li Qingbai, he had shown exactly how strong his foundation was. This was especially true with his last move, the Dragon Blood Affliction Art. It had directly reduced Li Yuanshan, who was in peak condition, from a third-grade to a second-grade Duke. With that, Jiang Qing'e was able to secure their victory with ease.
Li Luo's contribution in the previous battle was definitely on par with that of Jiang Qing'e.
Even with his own strength, he was definitely worthy of this position as the Fourth Grand Commander now.
Li Luo grinned as everyone congratulated him. He saw the excitement in the crowd after Li Jingzhe's speech earlier and asked curiously, "Guardian General, what is this World's End River Treasure Domain that the Respected Elder mentioned?"
Li Foluo replied, "The World's End River Treasure Domain is a region in the depths of the World's End River Region. It is situated in an area where the World's End River penetrates the world space, and its water continuously flows there. You know where the abundant Foundational Spirit Treasures in the World's End River Region come from, right?"
Li Luo nodded. The Foundational Spirit Treasures originated from the World's End River itself. They were found submerged along the river and descended upon the World's End River Region at some point.
When he recalled this, he suddenly understood what Li Foluo meant. If the river continuously flowed through the domain in question, just how many Foundational Spirit Treasures would be left behind in it? There would surely be a terrifyingly large amount of them.
That region was truly worthy of its name as a treasure domain, filled with bountiful rewards.
When he saw the expression on Li Luo's face, Li Foluo figured out that he understood the origin of the name. "Not only does the treasure domain contain a mind-boggling amount of Foundational Spirit Treasures, their grades are extraordinary as well. It's not just top-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures that can be found... there may even be rarer treasures than that. This is the real reason why every upper-grade Duke is excited over this. It is also why every time the treasure domain opens up, a bloodbath ensues."
Li Luo's heart skipped a beat. Treasures that were even rarer than top-grade? Wouldn't that be on the same level as the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus?
That was surely a treasure in a class of its own. Even Li Jingzhe had to fork out quite the price in order to obtain it.
"The Heavenly Dragon resonance is the pinnacle of all dragon resonances and thus is extraordinary. I heard that people with that resonance can purify their own Heavenly Dragon blood. It is an extremely rare resonance. Since the birth of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, the number of times that Heavenly Dragon resonance has appeared in our entire history can be easily counted with our fingers. This included those who acquired it," Li Foluo explained.
"Acquired the Heavenly Dragon resonance?" Li Luo asked curiously. With his keen sense, he had caught onto the crux of the question immediately.
Li Foluo nodded. "It's said that those who possess a dragon resonance can attempt to evolve it into the Heavenly Dragon resonance. Of course, this is extremely rare. There've only been two cases of this since ancient times... It seems like this evolution relies on the purity of one's natural Heavenly Dragonblood.
At this point, he couldn't help but take a glance at Li Luo. The latter had shown his confidence in the purity of his own blood when he used the Dragon Blood Affliction Art earlier.
Li Luo understood this when he saw his gaze as well. His eyes grew excited. Could it be that his dragon resonance could potentially evolve into a Heavenly Dragon resonance, the leader of all dragon resonances?
However, why didn't he feel anything when he used the True Dragon Seed Pill and elevated his dragon resonance to the ninth-grade? Did this mean that he would need a permanent increase in grade in order to evolve it?
Li Luo's heart started beating faster as he thought about this. His Thunder Dragon resonance was just an upper seventh-grade at this point. If he continued to increase its grade, would it evolve into a Heavenly Dragon resonance? This was definitely worth looking into.
That way, he would have more confidence in forging a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried when he broke into the Duke Stage.
As he thought about all this, Li Luo couldn't hold back his anticipation any longer. He couldn't wait to get his hands on the dragon essences that he had just won, and trade them all into high-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights.
There was also the Violet Resonant Tree Brooch that he had not used for a long while. That item could increase one's affinity with their resonance, and it was time for him to give it a try again.
"Guardian General, how long will it be before the World's End River Treasure Domain opens up?"
"It's hard to say, but it shouldn't be any longer than a year. The Stygian Rain of Calamity is coming, and the World's End River Treasure Domain will surely open before then."
Li Luo nodded. There was still some time for him to prepare himself. If he could, he would push his Heavenly Resonance Diagram to 90,000 feet before its opening and increase his Thunder Dragon resonance to the lower eighth-grade.
This would give him a little more confidence against his numerous competitors when he finally entered the Treasure Domain.
It seemed like in the coming days, he would need to borrow every opportunity available in the Dragon's Fang Guardians to improve himself.
