Absolute Resonance

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.

Li Luo was the first to speak. "What about the Genesis Seed and Sister Qing'e's identity?"

She fell silent once again for a few moments before sighing lightly. "As expected, by coming to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, your perspective and understanding has broadened to the point that you even know of the Genesis Seed."

"Well, Qin Lian, Qin Jiujie, and the Faceless Other King wanted to capture me because they suspected I was the Genesis Seed. That said, I know I'm not, but I can't reveal that it's Sister Qing'e." Li Luo shrugged his shoulders.

"Mhm, at least you show the responsibility that a man should have..." Tan Tailan replied jokingly. "It is as you have expected. Little Jiang'e is the Genesis Seed. We found her in the ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect all those years ago."

At this point, Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes began to flicker. In fact, she had already expected this answer, but confirming that it was the truth still caused her emotions to fluctuate. 

Li Luo stretched his hand out and tightly gripped Jiang Qing'e's hand. "Sister Qing'e, no matter who you are, House Luolan will always be your home."

Tan Tailan tenderly stroked her long hair as well. "When we first encountered Little Jiang'e, she was just a baby that had been sealed away. It seems that when the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was on the cusp of being destroyed, they used a secret sealing art on her to allow her to survive the passage of time. Considering the extremes they went to, she must have had a very high status in the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. Perhaps she’s related to an individual who attained illustrious achievements in the sect. Our guess is that she might be the sect master's descendent."

Jiang Qing'e was a little lost upon hearing those words. "The Sacred Void Resonance Sect's sect master..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That person had left indelible traces across the long annals of history and yet was incredibly foreign to Jiang Qing'e. She had absolutely no memory of him.

As a result, she felt a little down.

Such an illusory identity seemed a little incompatible with Li Luo and their family.

Tan Tailan lightly sighed as she glanced at Li Luo. Li Luo stretched his hand out and took her into his arms as he playfully smiled. "Sister Qing'e, the Genesis Seed is amazing. I can't come close to it no matter how hard I try."

Jiang Qing'e burrowed her head into Li Luo's chest and gripped his sleeves tightly. Her fragile look was completely different from the cool and collected individual she usually was, and it made him feel a little bit of heartache. All he could do was hold her even more tightly. 

At this point, Tan Tailan looked at Li Luo deeply. "Do you really think you're just ordinary as well?" 

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.”
