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?"
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."
