Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1763

Chapter 1760 Tan Tai Lan’s Secret

“Mother’s secret?!”

Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e were both stunned, then a deep curiosity welled up in their eyes. After all, Tan Tai Lan had always clung to a certain mystery. In

Tianyuan Divine State, the top prodigies from various Heavenly King-level factions of Li Taixuan’s generation were all suppressed by a little-known woman. Countless other prodigies were captivated by her, including Li Taixuan, a prodigy who equally dominated his peers.

And yet, this woman possessed no distinguished background; she was simply a casual cultivator.

This was particularly outrageous.

After all, even Li Luo, though he too had dominated the younger generation of Tianyuan Divine State and become a distinguished figure of his generation, still possessed the patronage of the Li Heavenly King lineage. The top-tier cultivation resources afforded him immense support, something unavailable to ordinary casual cultivators.

This was undeniable, and Li Luo would not deny it.

Only occasionally, in his spare time, would he reflect with regret. It was a shame he couldn’t experience the hardships of a free cultivator in this lifetime; otherwise, he could prove his dazzling talent.

But there was no other way; he couldn’t just endure it without suffering.

What a pity!

But back then, Tan Tai Lan had truly appeared out of nowhere, surpassing many of the Heavenly Kings’ lineage prodigies as a free cultivator, drawing the attention of all factions.

That was why Li Luo had always considered his mother truly remarkable; no wonder his father had refused a marriage proposal from the Qin Heavenly King lineage for her sake.

And now, from what Li Taixuan had said, it seemed the secret to Tan Tai Lan’s rise lay hidden deep within the Lingxiang Cave Heaven.

Li Taixuan met their curious gazes and smiled, “Let’s go.”

“If you’re interested, you can follow,” he said, addressing Qi Huang and the others.

Qi Huang pondered for a moment, then nodded, saying, “Then I’ll accompany you. The situation there is unclear, but I can take care of any problems.”

More importantly, he also needed to know the secrets deep within Lingxiang Cave Heaven, so he could share them with Jiang Tianwang and the others upon their return.

“Your Excellency Taixuan, may I go? This golden roc feather appears to belong to an ancestor of my Golden-Winged Dapeng. I’d like to know if it has any connection to my Golden-Winged Dapeng clan,” the Golden-Winged Elder said, bowing politely.

Li Taixuan naturally nodded in agreement.

After a brief exchange of words, the group, under the gazes of many, transformed into a stream of light, departed for the shattered Lingxiang Cave Heaven above the Tianxing Plains.

With the “Withering and Flourishing Phase” now taken away, the cave Heaven’s portal no longer radiated its mighty power of withering and flourishing. Even the energy of heaven and earth had calmed down, and Lingxiang Cave Heaven seemed to have returned to its former normalcy.

The group entered unimpeded.

The realm-suppression that once existed within Lingxiang Cave Heaven also vanished amidst this turmoil.

A familiar feeling washed over Li Luo, leaving him feeling slightly dazed, for this was once the site of his training.

He still remembered the medicine hut deep within Lingxiang Cave Heaven, where a white ape pounded medicine.

But now, the Lingxiang Cave Heaven he had seen was only a small corner of the cave. Back then, he had no idea that within its depths lay such a supremely divine object as the “Withering and Flourishing Phase.”

As memories surged through Li Luo’s mind, the golden roc feather held by Li Taixuan suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light. The radiance erupted, seemingly forming a golden avenue.

The golden avenue pierced space, seemingly piercing through a mysterious barrier, sinking into the deepest depths of Lingxiang Cave Heaven.

At the end of the golden light, misty clouds drifted through, and a mountain, radiating an ancient charm, loomed faintly.

When the mountain appeared, a voice boomed from within, reaching the ears of everyone.

“Guests have arrived from afar. Please come in.”

Hearing this voice, Li Taixuan, Li Luo, Jiang Qing’e, and the others were all shocked. Could there be a living being in the deepest reaches of this spiritual cave?!

They exchanged glances, seeing the look of surprise and doubt in each other’s eyes.

Ultimately, Li Taixuan didn’t hesitate, taking the lead and walking along the golden path to the end. He trusted Tan Tai Lan. Since she had allowed him to come here, there must be no danger.

Li Luo, Jiang Qing’e, Qi Huang, and the Golden-Winged Elder hurried to follow.

They entered the golden avenue and eventually reached its end, entering a mysterious realm. Amidst a vast sea of clouds, a majestic, ancient mountain towered.

Their figures followed the golden light, descending toward the summit.

As they drew closer, they discovered an ancient courtyard nestled amidst the forested mountaintop. Standing before it were two figures, gazing at the outsiders.

They were a man and a woman.

The man appeared middle-aged, clad in golden robes, his figure like a pine tree, his expression stern, his eyes brimming with the rigors of time.

The woman, a beautiful woman in a red palace dress, possessed a graceful and alluring presence.

They simply stood there, yet Li Taixuan, Qi Huang, and the others could sense a faint, terrifying pressure emanating from them, causing the very world to tremble.

These were two Heavenly Kings!

And these were two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings, comparable to Heavenly King Jiang!

Qi Huang’s heart was filled with turmoil. After all, the sheer power of these two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings was clear to him. If the Ten Divine Continents could acquire these two peak-level warriors, they would have a much better chance of success against the Dark World.

Amidst everyone’s astonishment, the beautiful woman in the red palace dress looked at them expectantly and asked, “Where’s Xiao Lan? Isn’t she here?”

Xiao Lan? Was she referring to Tan Tai Lan?

Everyone looked at Li Taixuan, and Li Taixuan hurried forward, clasped his fists and said respectfully: “Two seniors, I am Li Taixuan, the junior, and I am A’lan’s husband. This is my son Li Luo, and my daughter-in-law Jiang Qing’e. As for A’lan, she is still in the battlefield of princes and cannot get away.”

The beautiful woman in palace dress was a little surprised, and then chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect Xiaolan to be married and have children already, but considering the time, it’s about the same.”

She looked at Li Taixuan, nodded, and smiled, “She is worthy of the child.”

Then the beautiful woman in palace dress looked at the people who were restrained and secretly doubtful, chuckled, and said, “I think you have a lot of doubts in your hearts. My name is Su Ying, and this is my husband, Yan Changsheng.”

“As for our identities, can you guess?” The beautiful woman in palace dress tilted her head slightly, revealing a hint of cunning, which was somewhat inconsistent with her identity as a senior.

Li Luo tentatively asked, “Two seniors… should they be the Sixth Son of the Wuxiang Holy Sect?”

“As expected of Xiaolan’s children, they are truly clever,” the beautiful woman named Su Ying giggled.

Everyone else couldn’t help but be a little surprised. They were naturally familiar with the name of the Sixth Son of the Wuxiang. After all, Wang Taixi and the Alchemy Saint had both been exceptionally accomplished.

They were only surprised to find that neither Wang Taixi nor the Alchemy Saint had been able to maintain their peak form over the long years, yet these two, both in form and aura, seemed to be remarkably well-preserved.

What a remarkable feat!

After all, even a Divine Fruit Heavenly King wouldn’t be able to withstand the ravages of such a long time.

At this moment, the golden-winged elder suddenly dropped to his knees, his aged face brimming with emotion. He knelt before the golden-clad man and said, “Junior Golden Wing, pays homage to the ancestor!”

As the name “Yan Changsheng” was uttered, the golden-winged elder finally remembered a record in his clan’s ancient texts. During the ancient times when the Wuxiang Holy Sect reigned supreme, their Golden-Winged Dapeng clan had once possessed an ancestor. This ancestor had been the legendary sect leader’s right-hand man, accompanying him on his conquests and achieving great fame.

The golden-clad middle-aged man looked at the golden-winged elder, his stern expression softening slightly. He asked, “Are there any Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings in our clan now?”

The golden-winged elder paused, then said with shame, “There are only two Heavenly Kings in our clan, but none have reached the level of our ancestor.”

Only then did the others realize that the middle-aged man before them, Yan Changsheng, was actually a Golden-Winged Dapeng, and that the golden feathers must have come from him.

Li Luo then expressed his curiosity.

“I wonder what the relationship is between these two elders and my mother?”
