Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1703
Chapter 1700 Dragon Territory
. Over the next two weeks, the impact of the Xi family’s changes spread to virtually every corner of the East Sea Realm.
Even the Beast Taming Alliance sent a congratulatory gift, which completely solidified Xi Chan’s position as the new clan leader. All protests and objections vanished completely before this gift.
The various factions in the East Sea Realm were even more alarmed, for they knew full well that this gift represented the Beast Taming Alliance’s recognition of Xi Chan. Of course, everyone understood that this recognition was entirely due to the man standing behind Xi Chan.
The Tenth Prince, Li Luo!
As for the external turmoil, Li Luo ignored it. He remained at the Xi family for the past two weeks. After all, Xi Chan had just taken the throne. Even with his support, the branch family was weak, and using the weak to control the strong would ultimately face numerous obstacles.
However, Xi Chan didn’t let him worry about these trivial matters. She displayed a fierce side she had never shown at the academy. With lightning speed, she crushed the opposition within the main family, particularly those factions close to Xi Li. She even used sealing techniques to force Xi Li to personally resolve the situation.
When a former loyal steward of the main family was publicly struck dead by Xi Li, the public trust Xi Li had painstakingly cultivated over the years was completely shattered.
Within a few days, Xi Chan divided the main family’s power, installing members of the branch family in positions of power, gradually bringing the two sides closer to equilibrium.
While there would undoubtedly be continued friction, the oppression of the branch family would undoubtedly be completely reversed over time.
Having initially stabilized the public, Xi Chan began to accept the legacy of the old patriarch, Xi Wenwu. This inherited secret technique would elevate her strength to a new level, potentially even allowing her to reach the realm of king.
This secret inheritance was truly remarkable, even Li Luo, now in his prime, marveled at it. The Xi family’s long-standing stability in the East Sea Realm stemmed from this secret inheritance, which was of paramount importance.
Under Li Luo’s personal watch, the inheritance ceremony proceeded with remarkable success.
As Xi Wenwu’s vitality began to rapidly dissipate, the radiant energy emanating from Xi Chan’s body intensified at an alarming rate.
Li Luo protected her for ten days.
After ten days, Xi Chan completed the inheritance ceremony, her strength greatly increased, but she did not immediately ascend to the King Realm, as she needed time to absorb the energy before she could progress smoothly.
As for Xi Wenwu, he had made his final contribution.
Xi Chan buried him with great ceremony.
At
the north wall of Xi City, Li Luo and Xi Chan stood side by side, the setting sun casting a shadow over them like a dark crimson veil.
“Teacher Xi Chan, there’s no need to see me off,” Li Luo said with a smile, gazing at the woman before him, who had already begun to assume a certain dignity.
“Li Luo, thank you.” Xi Chan looked at the young man in front of her with complicated eyes. In just one month, the drastic changes that happened to her were all driven by Li Luo.
She didn’t know how to repay Li Luo’s kindness.
Xi Chan never thought that the choice against Shen Jinxiao in the teacher selection competition that year would lead to such a cause and effect.
“Handsome, right?” Li Luo’s smiling and playful look was completely devoid of the terrifying power he had in public.
Xi Chan smiled sweetly and nodded, “Very handsome.”
Li Luo’s smile gradually warmed, and he said softly, “No matter how handsome you are, you can’t be as handsome as when you resigned as a mentor and stood alone, blocking the mountain gate of Lanling Mansion.”
When Li Luo heard the news, he was moved and shocked. He didn’t expect that this usually intellectual and calm mentor would go this far to protect him.
It was precisely because of this gratitude that Li Luo did not hesitate to let go of the old feud between Li Tianwang’s lineage and the Beast Taming Palace and chose to be friends with Lin Miao. Everything he did was just for Xi Chan’s future to be smooth.
Xi Chan blushed slightly, saying, “This is the only moment in my life that has been so bright.”
She was silent for a moment, then said, “Actually, compared to being the head of the Xi family, I’d much rather be an instructor at Shengxuanxing Academy.”
If it weren’t for her parents, Xi Chan wouldn’t have wanted to return.
“When you no longer want to be the head of the family, feel free to return to Shengxuanxing Academy. If you like, I’ll recommend you for the position of dean!” Li Luo said with a smile.
Xi Chan smiled, then nodded earnestly.
Finally, Li Luo sensed Lin Miao’s presence and knew it was time to leave. He waved to Xi Chan and said, “Teacher Xichan, take care.”
Without pausing, he transformed into a stream of light, streaking across the sky and disappearing into the horizon like a star.
Xi Chan stood on the city wall, her eyes fixed on the direction where he disappeared. Her clear and bright eyes reflected the setting sun that gradually slid down the horizon, gradually dimming. Finally, she was like a statue, motionless for a long time.
. . .
When Li Luo left the East Sea Realm, the void shattered, and Lin Miao walked out of it.
The two of them did not say much, but directly pushed their speed to the extreme, crossing mountains and seas, and finally entered the territory of the Spirit Beast Realm.
The energy of the heaven and earth in the Spirit Beast Realm seemed to be even more rough and violent. The air was filled with a wild and desolate atmosphere. Between the mountains and seas, giant beasts could occasionally be seen moving mountains and driving the sea.
Li Luo and the other man did not stop, and flew straight to the area where the dragon clan was.
After about two days, they finally arrived at the Dragon Realm.
The Dragon Territory is immensely vast. Ancient mountain ranges rise and fall like towering giants, seemingly connecting heaven and earth. Countless dragons soar between heaven and earth, while giant dragons perch atop mountaintops, absorbing and exhaling the energy of heaven and earth, emitting earth-shaking roars.
Within this vast expanse of sea, vast oceans stretch as far as the eye can see, beneath the seas swam giant figures.
Amidst the mountains, towering palaces of ancient and rugged majesty, shimmering with a dazzling brilliance. Led by Lin Miao, Li Luo descended directly toward one of these vast palaces, the Dragon Clan’s welcoming grounds.
Just as Li Luo appeared there, a clear dragon roar suddenly echoed from the distant mountains. Then, Li Luo saw a dragon silhouette soar through the air.
The dragon’s slender form exuded an air of elegance, a stark contrast to the ruggedness of other dragons. Its scales resembled jade, shimmering in the sunlight. A medicinal aroma permeated the mountains as it appeared.
At this moment, the dragon’s bright eyes shone brightly as it gazed at Li Luo.
“Pharmacist Jade Dragon?” Lin Miao was somewhat surprised. The Pharmacist Jade Dragon held a very high status within the dragon clan, second only to the Celestial Dragon. He had not expected it to come to greet him.
Li Luo, on the other hand, gazed at the Jade Dragon, sensing the energy fluctuations emanating from it. It was already at the level of a First Crown King. Furthermore, he sensed a familiar aura within it.
The next moment, a strong smile spread across his face.
“Senior Sister Hongyou?”
