Chapter 1297: Birth of the Heavenly Dragon Resonance

Heavenly Dragon City. In the Grand Hall of Heavenly Dragon Pavilion.

Li Jingzhe stood beside the Volcano Cauldron and stared into it. The spiritual liquid in the cauldron had decreased significantly. By now, it couldn't even cover Li Luo's body anymore.

Li Luo was seated in the lotus position with both of his eyes shut tightly.

His resonant power had grown considerably stronger after two months of cultivation. At the same time, Li Jingzhe could tell that an ancient and extremely pure might had surfaced inside his body.

Li Qingpeng, who was standing beside Li Jingzhe, watched in surprise. This pure and ancient might was faint but it was enough to make the Dragon resonant power flowing in his body freeze for a moment. He could stimulate it easily but the fact that it made him sluggish, albeit temporarily, was enough to startle him.

"Is this... the Heavenly Dragon's might?" He couldn't help but ask.

Li Jingzhe nodded his head. "The dragon resonance in Little Luo's body has been infused with his Heavenly Dragon blood essences after the past two months of cultivation. Looking at his progress, the evolution should begin soon. It seems like he's successfully passed the first step."

Li Qingpeng was a little shocked to hear this. "You mean he's actually managed to evolve it into the Heavenly Dragon resonance?"

This could be considered one of the most sought after achievements for those within the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. After all, the Heavenly Dragon resonance was viewed as the leader of all dragon resonances. It would naturally be able to suppress the other dragon resonances.

This could be easily seen from how Li Taixuan had dominated the other geniuses of his generation with just his quasi ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance.

However, it was no easy task to attain it. This was not a matter of talent nor strength. It was solely dependent on how pure one's Heavenly Dragon blood lineage was. This was decided at birth and no one could change it. In the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, there were many elites who similarly harbored such ambitions too. However, none had succeeded in the past hundred years.

Li Taixuan's Heavenly Dragon resonance was something obtained naturally and not something he acquired subsequently.

Yet, Li Luo was about to accomplish the latter right now.

"The purity of Little Luo's Heavenly Dragon blood is truly unbelievable." Li Qingpeng commented.

"The crux right now is to see what grade his Heavenly Dragon resonance will reach." Li Jingzhe said.

Li Qingpeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. "Little Luo's dragon resonance was originally upper seventh-grade. After evolution, it should be in the eighth-grade at most, right?"

He knew how challenging it was to raise the grade of a Heavenly Dragon resonance. In the past, Li Taixuan had complained to him multiple times. He exhausted a gargantuan amount of spirit liquids and even used a lower ninth-grade spirit liquid. Yet... his quasi ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance was unable to reach the lower ninth-grade ultimately. Li Jingzhe's eyes continued to stare at Li Luo's figure in the cauldron. "Who knows? Let's watch and see."

Boom!

As the two of them were chatting, a strong wave of energy erupted from the inside of the Volcano Cauldron. The energy shockwave was so strong that it shook the cauldron walls continuously, causing a large explosion to echo in the air.

Extremely bright violet golden light shot out. In the background, an ancient draconic roar resounded.

Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng looked at the center of the violet golden glow without batting an eyelid. They could see that Li Luo's physical body was beginning to grow at a visible rate. In just a few moments, he had turned into a little giant that was hundreds of feet tall. The blood and flesh of his body vibrated. Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng could tell that Li Luo's physical body was getting stronger at an astonishing speed.

On his skin, violet golden runes began to appear as well. From afar, these runes resembled a violet golden divine dragon that was dancing and brandishing its sharp claws.

"Those are the violet golden draconic runes. Is it forging his physical form into the true body of the Heavenly Dragon?" Li Qingpeng's eyes narrowed. The so-called true body of the Heavenly Dragon was an ability of the Heavenly Dragon resonance. With this boost, the durability of one's body would increase tremendously. Its strengthening was comparable to cultivating a body tempering Duke Art of the upper Soul Ascension grade.

Moreover, this true body of the Heavenly Dragon would continue to grow stronger along with the grade of the Heavenly Dragon resonance. This was one of the signature moves that Li Taixuan relied on in the past too.

With these violet golden draconic runes glowing on his body, it meant that Li Luo had successfully acquired the Heavenly Dragon resonance!

Weng!

A violet golden beam of light shot out of Li Luo's head. It blew the cover of the cauldron aside and flew towards the ceiling of the Grand Hall. Li Jingzhe flicked his finger and an invisible energy shield covered the ceiling, blocking the violet golden beam of light. Without his intervention, it seemed like this beam of light would have gone straight up into the sky and attracted all the attention of the people in Heavenly Dragon City.

After the beam of light had been blocked, a figure was reflected in the pupils of Li Jingzhe's and Li Qingpeng's eyes.

It was a violet golden dragon that was around a thousand feet long. The dragon slowly swam around the beam of light and an immense ancient might pressed down on the surroundings.

This pressure didn't do much to Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng but the two of them felt a little taken aback when they saw the dragon manifestation.

They understood immediately. This was the most respected and coveted resonance within their Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

It's the Heavenly Dragon resonance!

After two whole months of cultivation, Li Luo had finally attained it. His dragon resonance had finally evolved into the respected leader of all dragon resonances, the Heavenly Dragon resonance!

Lightning sparks could still be seen on the body of the violet golden dragon. This was due to the Thunder secondary resonance that Li Luo possessed.

Li Jingzhe focused his mind and was able to tell the grade of the Heavenly Dragon resonance instantly.

Upper eighth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance.

This was within his expectations. Based on Li Luo's blood lineage, he had expected Li Luo to reach this grade if he was able to evolve into the Heavenly Dragon resonance successfully.

It was far too challenging if he wanted to reach a higher grade now.

The amount of spirit liquid required to increase the Heavenly Dragon resonance from the upper eighth-grade to quasi ninth-grade was far beyond his current means as well.

Although Li Luo's heavenly dragon's blood purity was exceptional, his dragon resonance was merely upper seventh-grade ultimately. If he had increased it to the upper eighth-grade before the evolution, he might have been able to reach the quasi ninth-grade.

Regardless, it was an impressive feat that he was able to attain the upper eighth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance. This power was superior to many other quasi ninth-grade resonances. As the Heavenly Dragon resonance held the upper hand when compared to other dragon resonances, it might even be superior compared to even lower ninth-grade dragon resonances.

"So it turned out to be an upper eighth-grade?"

In the cauldron, Li Luo could feel the result of his Heavenly Dragon resonance evolution. Although its success was already worthy of celebration, Li Luo's ambition was more than just this.

He wanted to go for a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried when he broke into the Duke stage later. As such, he had to solidify his own foundations with all possible means.

An upper eighth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance was a little short of what he wanted.

"Can't I push it just a little more?"

Li Luo felt a little bit of reluctance in his heart. However, he could tell that the refinement secret art was already losing its effects in his body. The Heavenly Dragon blood in his body had been completely squeezed dry for him to achieve this upper eighth-grade. It was extremely hard to achieve any further breakthroughs.

Li Luo pondered over it. He thought of all the tricks in his arsenal that could be of use.

"The True Dragon Seed Pill?"

"Heavenly Emperor's Writ?"

"..."

As Li Luo thought about these, he didn't hesitate to give them a try.

Just as he was about to activate them, he felt a faint ringing coming from the depths of his body. He focused his mind and sensed the mysterious Auric Halo in his body. It had begun to slowly rotate at this moment. As it moved, Li Luo could sense an immense and pure energy overflowing into his body, rushing towards his Thunder Dragon resonant palace.

"Is this..."

Li Luo was a little unsure about it. He could sense the familiar feeling he got from liquids and lights within this energy. It was as if a small portion of the liquids and lights he had used all this while had been stored away within this Auric Halo for a moment like this.

Besides, the energy that was coming out of this Auric Halo was purer than he could have imagined.

Li Luo didn't have much time to figure out what was happening. In the next instance, the extremely pure energy had entered his Thunder Dragon resonant palace. The Heavenly Dragon resonance that was coiled up in the palace opened its mouth and swallowed it up immediately.

Suddenly, the violet golden glow from his Heavenly Dragon resonance grew many times brighter. His body began to expand rapidly once again.

The changes within his resonant palace were reflected in the outside world too.

Both Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng were surprised to see this. The violet golden dragon manifestation above Li Luo's head continued to grow bigger until it filled up the entire Grand Hall.

However, that wasn't the thing that surprised Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng. They could faintly sense a special energy emitting from this dragon manifestation. The two of them had seen a lot and they recognised this special energy immediately.

This was the energy of a ninth-grade.

"Is that..."

Li Qingpeng sucked in a deep breath. The shock couldn't be contained within his voice.

"A quasi ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance?!"
