Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1250: I'm the Genesis Seed?

"I'm the Genesis Seed?!" Li Jingzhe's voice seemed to echo through the small room as it lingered in Li Luo's ears, causing his expression to turn a little dazed.

He had never expected that the worldly treasure would be related to him.

Li Luo lost focus for quite a bit of time before he finally calmed the waves in his heart. He then shook his head. "Grandpa, I think you're mistaken. If it is as you said, that the Genesis Seed is the blessed child of the world, encountering all the fortunes of the world, then I..."

He paused for a moment. "I may have been born with three resonant palaces, but all of them were blank palaces. If not for my parents finding me an acquired resonance secret art, I would still have nothing but blank palaces today, perhaps even unable to cultivate at all. If I was the Genesis Seed, wouldn't that be a little humiliating?"

Li Jingzhe continued to stare at Li Luo as he let out a slight smile. "So it seems that your three palaces and six resonances were all acquired resonances. I had guessed as much in the past, and the secret art came from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, isn’t that right?"

At this point, there was no need to hide this fact any longer, so Li Luo nodded.

"It is rumored that the Sacred Void Resonance Sect researched resonances to the deepest level in the past. They indeed had a secret art that allowed one to refine acquired resonances that were capable of taking the place of one's natural resonances. In those years, the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was the undisputed tyrant of the entire world; even Heavenly Emperor powers were unable to compete with their radiance. In the annals of history, the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was the only force that managed to eke out an advantage over the Others in the endless battle against them."

Li Jingzhe paused for a moment before he continued, "After researching some secret historical remnants, we have discovered traces of the legendary sect leader of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, who eclipsed even Heavenly Emperors during the period of history where they surprised a generation. It is likely that he was a Genesis Seed too."

Li Luo was surprised by this. It made sense that the Genesis Seed was known as a World Treasure. So long as the individual was allowed to grow, their strength would be so shocking that they would dominate an entire era.

"Under the leadership of this sect leader, the Sacred Void Resonance Sect ascended to the peak. They even entered the shadow world and brought the fight to the Others. And they exterminated them," Li Jingzhe continued.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were moved by this. The Sacred Void Resonance Sect was truly impressive and also terrifying.

"However, everything that prospers eventually declines. The Sacred Void Resonance Sect was ultimately unable to succeed, and they suddenly collapsed. The behemoth that far surpassed anything today vanished into the depths of history as a result."

"If the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was so amazing, how could it collapse so suddenly?" Li Luo asked.

"This is a long-lost ancient secret that no one has been unable to understand or figure out," Li Jingzhe answered. "The current Academic Federation and the Origin Reversion Institute are ancient powers that arose after the disappearance of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect."

Li Luo smiled bitterly. "The more I hear your explanation, the more I think there’s no chance I’m the Genesis Seed. When compared to others, I’m a little too ordinary."

Jiang Qing'e shot him a serious look as she said, "There's no need to be unduly humble. You only started cultivating after you realized you had blank palaces, and you managed to reach the peak of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier in just three short years. The Duke Stage is merely a step away, and your cultivation speed is actually quicker than mine. If you're ordinary, then no one in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent can be considered exceptional."

Jiang Qing'e's voice was gentle and reminded one of the light resonances she had, giving one a sense of warmth as she spoke.

As Li Luo looked at her attentive expression, he couldn't help but grin. It was indeed true that hearing praise from her directly gave him a bit of satisfaction.

"Not all Genesis Seeds outshone everyone in the beginning. It is also said that some Genesis Seeds started off incredibly mediocre as well. However, Qing'e's words are not wrong. You brat, how could you possibly be ordinary? Three palaces and six resonances—that is simply terrifying potential."

"Grandpa, how did you guess that I was the Genesis Seed?" Li Luo couldn't help but ask.

"It's because Qin Lian and Qin Jiujie have consistently targeted you. You're merely a tiny Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator, so why could you possibly be worth their attention?" Li Jingzhe coolly explained.

Li Luo was left a little dumbfounded. Indeed, something didn't seem right about that.

"Could it be that they are looking for the Divine Matter left behind by my parents?" Li Luo probed further. Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had left behind an incredible treasure, and perhaps that was the true reason why she was after him. In fact, the moment Li Luo arrived in the Dragon's Fang Lineage, he had given the Divine Matter to Li Jingzhe for safekeeping, precisely to prevent such a situation.

Li Jingzhe shook his head. "The Divine Matter might be a rarely seen treasure, and it is indeed helpful in allowing one to break into the King Stage. In fact, it's even more precious than the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus. From a certain point of view, it's valuable enough to provoke the attention of an entire Heavenly Emperor power, and to force them to make a move in order to obtain it. Although it might garner Qin Lian's attention, it's not sufficient to force Qin Jiujie to act."

With this point rebutted, Li Luo had nothing else to say. Perhaps Qin Jiujie truly did think that he was the Genesis Seed and wanted to get rid of him before he became a thorn in the future.

"Grandpa, if I'm the Genesis Seed, what special signs would there be?" Li Luo asked.

Li Jingzhe shook his head. "Information regarding the Genesis Seed is secretive and well kept. Normally speaking, when one reaches the King Stage, they see some mystical visions. This is one of the manifestations of the Genesis Seed. Perhaps it is one of the ways that Worldly Treasures protect themselves. Until the bearer has reached a certain level of development, their existence is obscured to prevent others from coveting it."

"Then how did the Genesis Seed appear within me?" Li Luo continued.

Li Jingzhe heavily sighed. "From what I understand, the Genesis Seed can come about in one of two ways, one natural and one acquired. In terms of it being obtained naturally, it would be born within you. For it to be acquired... Do you remember what I mentioned about the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Seeds?"

Li Luo's gaze flickered as he replied in surprise, "Are you saying the Sacred Seeds are capable of transforming into the Genesis Seed?"

"Sacred Seeds are objects that have been refined by generations of peak-level experts in an attempt to imitate or recreate the Genesis Seed. Thus, there is a close relationship between the Genesis Seed and the Sacred Seeds. However, it is as you might expect. Having a Sacred Seed evolve into a Genesis Seed is incredibly difficult. All Heavenly Emperor powers have spent much effort nurturing their Sacred Seeds all in the hopes of allowing one of their own to transform into a Genesis Seed. This is thus known as an acquired Genesis Seed," Li Jingzhe explained.

"Between the two, the naturally obtained Genesis Seed is superior. However, the acquired Genesis Seed also possesses immense might and is desired by all."

Li Luo felt shocked to his core. This was yet another heaven-shaking secret that a normal individual would never be able to come in contact with. It was no wonder all the Heavenly Emperor powers treated the Sacred Seeds with such importance.

It turned out they had the potential to transform into an embryonic form of a Genesis Seed.

It was at this point that Li Jingzhe grinned. "There's no need to think too much. We will be able to tell with a simple test."

"You can test for the Genesis Seed?" Li Luo was once again taken aback.

"An average power might not have such means, but the Heavenly Emperor lineages might be able to do so. Although such a test might not be fully accurate..."

Li Luo hesitated for a moment before nodding vigorously. "Let's try it, then!"

The Genesis Seed was extraordinary, and he had to find out for himself if the rumors were true.

Li Jingzhe nodded in approval after seeing his grandson’s reaction. After all, something this important had to be confirmed if possible.

"In this case, I'll let you broaden your horizons today." A slight smile surfaced on his elderly visage.

"What do you mean?" Just as Li Luo blurted out his words, he saw Li Jingzhe stretch out the staff in his hand. Golden light flowed out from the tip of the staff, and it exuded an incredibly domineering sharpness.

As the staff casually swept across the air, it split apart and a rift opened up.

The rift was massive, and Li Luo's gaze was focused on it. He saw a golden pool that seemed to stretch on endlessly in the depths of the rift. The water within flowed with radiant light that was dazzling to the eye.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gigantic wave arose, and Li Luo's eyes widened in surprise. He could see that a titanic golden dragon was swimming in the depths of this pool.

The golden dragon gave off an indescribable sense of awe, and its appearance immediately stimulated the True Dragon Pill within him.

A moment later, he realized what the dragon was.

He was left speechless at this understanding.

"Is that... the Dragon Sacred Seed?" It seemed that this test would require the participation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's foundational treasure, the Dragon Sacred Seed.

It was truly amazing.

It was no wonder Li Jingzhe had said that he would broaden his horizons today.
