Chapter 1415: The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Shoot's Growth

"The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo has grown?!" Li Luo's eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the five-colored soil basin that contained the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo shoot. The happiness this had brought him was even greater than reattaining the Second Duke Stage. Who knew just how hard he had racked his brains for ways to get the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to grow? He had fed it with all sorts of wondrous spirit liquids, and yet the plant refused to grow. It was clear that ordinary methods were of no use. Furthermore, strictly speaking, this wasn't an actual Heavenly Thunder Bamboo shoot—it was something made out of Li Jingzhe's remnant aura with the aid of his Heavenly Thunder Bamboo resonance. This was unprecedented and thus no one, whether it was Li Luo or Tantai Lan, knew how to deal with it.

This development was an unexpected surprise. The growth of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo shoot also signified to Li Luo that there was a very real possibility Li Jingzhe could be reborn.

"In that case, what exactly catalyzed its growth? It shouldn't have been because of my secluded cultivation for half a year right?" Li Luo inspected the plant. He could sense a faint and weak aura mingled with the thunder energy. It truly gave off Li Jingzhe's aura!

Although it was just a mere wisp of it, as the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo shoot grew, the aura strengthened.

Li Luo wanted to understand what had caused this change so that he could work in that direction and hasten his grandpa's rebirth.

Only two major things had happened during his seclusion, but he wasn’t sure if either of those could explain this turn of events.

Firstly, he had forged his Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried and secondly, he had awakened the Absolute Resonance Seed. He had no idea what had changed things and thus placed the question in the back of his mind. He would ask his mother later as she was much more well traveled and had more experience. He then recomposed himself and stored the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo shoot safely.

At the same time, the scene created by his breakthrough had vanished and the pillar of light that had pierced the sky began to dissipate into motes of light.

He could now sense that there were weak fluctuations of resonant power hidden all around the area.

It looked as though they served the purpose of protecting him; they must have been secretly set up by Tantai Lan.

Soon after, a beam of light shot across the sky and landed before Li Luo. It was not Tantai Lan nor Jiang Qing'e. Instead, Li Qingpeng had arrived.

Li Luo's expression became more and more solemn. The Other Disaster's consequences were graver than he had imagined. Was this the goal of the Origin Reversion Institute to begin with?

"Right, in the second month after you secluded yourself, Qing'e left the Dragon's Fang Lineage for the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. She said she'd pave your way into the Celestial Mirror Pagoda."

Li Luo wasn't surprised by this, as Jiang Qing'e had already mentioned this to him before.

"It must have been tough for her." Li Luo lightly sighed. Jiang Qing'e and Tantai Lan had important places in his heart, and it had taken him a lot of effort to reunite with them. Thus, he knew that she wasn’t thrilled about going alone. However, the Celestial Mirror Pagoda was critical for his fourth resonance, so she had ventured forth despite everything, preparing to use her connections and authority to pave the way for him. Once things were settled, it would be much easier for Li Luo. Throughout all these years, she was truly like an older sister to him, always helping him out.

"When the situation in the Dragon's Fang Lineage calms down, I'll go and look for her. I can't let her be at the Celestial Mirror Pagoda all alone whilst doing her best to help me out," Li Luo thought to himself.

"Eldest Uncle, now that I'm out, I wish to pay a visit to the northwestern border and see the situation," Li Luo said.

The Dragon's Fang Mountain Range was simply too peaceful, so it didn't suit him.

Li Qingpeng nodded. "I'll arrange for some people to protect you."

He then paused before smiling. "Now that I think about it, a grand event involving the Heavenly Dragon’s Armies is about to start. If you don't go, you might miss it."

Li Luo's gaze flickered. "Does this have to do with the selection of the Grand Guardian General?"

Li Qingpeng nodded. "The position of Grand Guardian General of the Heavenly Dragon’s Armies is an important one. Those who ascend to that role are given a Lesser Sacred Seed, a rarely seen treasure. It will be of great use to you. You had a True Dragon Pill, which is similar, but the Lesser Sacred Seed is on a completely different level."

Excitement arose on Li Luo's face. He had personally experienced how wonderful the True Dragon Pill was. It was a trump card he could use to overcome much stronger enemies, but unfortunately, it was a limited-use consumable. Alas, he had also completely depleted its strength within the Treasure Domain. Therefore, the Lesser Sacred Seed was incredibly alluring to him.
