Chapter 1402: Jiang Qing'e's Identity
"You don't have to worry. Your father is fine. The fragments of heaven and earth have formed a wall around the void abyss he is in. Even a Grand Devil King will have difficulty refining it. It's only trying to seal him and force us to appear. Before I left, I arranged for a spatial ward to be set up, so even a Grand Devil King won’t be able to find traces of Taixuan. We have been in numerous dangerous situations, and a single Grand Devil King might be fearful to deal with, but it's hard for it to push us into the depths of despair. There is no need to feel anxious about this. Now that I'm back, I'll think of something to resolve the problem. Furthermore, I don't have plans to become a widow just yet."
The serious atmosphere was shattered by her last line. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e couldn't help but grin.
That said, they knew that this was Tan Tailan trying to reassure them.
"Mother, you shouldn't have gone to the Nobles' Battlefield and left House Luolan for Sister Qing'e and I to handle. Do you know how much pressure we were under? If not for her single-handedly holding things up, your dear son would be living on the streets!" Li Luo griped.
When Tan Tailan heard this, a trace of guilt could be seen in her eyes. They had indeed left too hastily, and a lot of pressure was placed on her children.
She lightly patted Jiang Qing'e's back as she warmly said, "Little Jiang'e, it must have been tough for you."
"Mother, when you left in a hurry, was it because you were plotted against by the Xia Kingdom?" Jiang Qing'e asked.
"Ah, everyone in the Xia Kingdom, other than Pang Qianyuan, was insignificant and inconsequential. Their schemes were meaningless and weren't of any concern to us," Tan Tailan replied.
"Someone did interfere with the Death Lottery, and it must have been someone from the Regent's side. However, we didn't leave for the Nobles' Battlefield because of that."
"Then why? Just what could be more important than your precious son?" Li Luo asked doubtfully.
Tan Tailan fell silent for a moment. "You two little brats, echoing after one another. Are you trying to interrogate me?"
Jiang Qing'e's lips gave way to a smirk and she chuckled softly. "Mother, we are no longer children. You can't keep hiding things from us."
"What do you want to know?" Tan Tailan asked helplessly.
He felt his hair stand on end, his mouth dried up, and he gasped. "Could it be that I am also a descendent of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect?"
Tan Tailan frowned and berated him. "I worked hard to give birth to you after being pregnant for so long. There is nothing to doubt about this!"
"That's great..." Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, how am I not ordinary? Other than the fact that I have a bunch of blank palaces, I seem pretty normal," he asked curiously.
Tan Tailan felt a little weary upon hearing all his questions. "I was planning to let you know after Taixuan returned. However, the two of you are simply too anxious... Also, I can see that you've even managed to cultivate the Absolute Resonance Halo. This has far exceeded our expectations. Perhaps it's time for you to know."
Tan Tailan flicked her finger, and a silver light flowed, directly enveloping the stone pavilion they were in. The space around them was now completely sealed, making it difficult for any prying eyes to penetrate. Seeing Tan Tailan acting so cautiously caused Li Luo to feel a little nervous.
"The Absolute Resonance Halo? Are you referring to the esoteric and incomplete Auric Halo in my body?" Li Luo was a little shocked. Tan Tailan had already discovered the existence of the Auric Halo and also seemed to have a deeper understanding of its mysteries.
She nodded.
"When your father and I left the Sacred Void Resonance Sect ruins, we brought out two objects. The first was the sealed Little Jiang'e, and the second was an object that had burrowed itself into my pregnant body."
Li Luo's face turned pale. "Did that object transform into me?!"
"You weren't the transformation of some random item. However, that object did change your body, and your three blank palaces came from it," Tan Tailan retorted.
Li Luo's expression turned a little gloomy and uncertain. So it turned out that that was the reason.
"So what was that object?" he asked.
Tan Tailan sighed deeply. "It was a supreme treasure that the Sacred Void Resonance Sect spent countless years and resources to create. Perhaps you can call it... the Absolute Resonance Seed.”
