Chapter 0736: Li Luo's Goal

"Protect Li Taixuan. Abandon Tan Tailan."

When Li Rouyun said these words, the entire flying ship descended into silence for some time.

Li Luo broke the silence. "No wonder my mother never cared much for the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li."

Tan Tailan might not have any sort of background, but Li Luo understood his mother very well. In her heart, she possessed an arrogance that was no less than those other geniuses with illustrious backgrounds. One could see that through the way she had disdainfully mocked the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

She didn't care for their protection either.

Li Rouyun did not say anything, but with what had happened, it was normal for her to have developed a grudge against the clan.

"My father must have been very disappointed in the clan's attitude," Li Luo continued. The clan clearly wanted to use this event as a pretext to separate the two, but with Li Taixuan's attitude, how could he possibly have abandoned her to return alone? Thus, he led the way as the two escaped, choosing to leave the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent and eventually arriving at the Xia Kingdom.

Li Rouyun sighed. If Li Taixuan was not disappointed in the clan, why would he not have said anything all these years? The only reason he had reached out was to ensure that Li Luo was kept safe. Otherwise, there was no other reason for him to leave behind his traces upon the Heavenly Emperor's Writ, allowing the clan to receive news from him.

"At that point in time, the other bloodline was furious and the Dragon's Blood Lineage didn't want to act too rigidly either. Thus, the reason they gave to the Dragon's Fang Lineage was that the clan had nothing to do with Tan Tailan. Protecting Li Taixuan was natural, but an outsider? That would make things difficult for the other bloodline and might even cause a loss of face for them. The situation might very well worsen. Of course, not everyone felt that way. Grandpa, at the very least, wanted to rescue them as he understood Li Taixuan's personality. He would never leave her behind."

"Unfortunately, Grandpa was just the Lineage Chief and not the Mountain Ruling Chief, thus he could not make the final decision for the bloodline. As a result, he could only accept the ruling in frustration. However, after everything happened, he never again participated in the clan's internal Lineage Chief meetings. Ten years ago, the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent organized a martial meet, and he was coincidentally placed in the same group as a Lineage Chief from the other bloodline for an exhibition match. It was a battle that opened everyone's eyes."

At this point, Li Rouyun's expression turned complicated.

"No one had expected a simple spar between Kings to turn into a battle of life and death. The entire stage was overturned and the opposing King rarely appeared in public again in the following ten years, probably recuperating and attempting to heal from his injuries. Similarly, Grandpa has also quietly cultivated till today. It could be said that both parties suffered grievous injuries. Grandpa then casually informed the rest of the Lineage Chiefs that his hands were itching for a beating and he couldn't help himself when the fires of youth raged within him..."

Li Rouyun had a bitter smile and everyone practically knew that this was the result of years of pent up frustration unleashed at once.

Li Luo was slightly shocked. This grandpa whom he had never met before seemed to be quite the temperamental guy. For a moment, the resentment he held towards him because of what happened to his mother lessened.

"Li Luo, you can't blame Grandpa for your mother's situation. His personality is simply like that. He's usually strict and by the book, prioritizing the clan over self. However, he is still a respectable elder, and to welcome you back, he informed the Mountain Ruling Lineage that the matters of the previous generation should not affect the younger generation. If you ever decide to travel throughout the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, the Dragon's Fang Lineage will always have your back even if some other Heavenly Emperor Bloodline or super power's older generation dares to bully you because of the past."

"Wait... only the elders? Doesn't this mean that if those of the younger generation come looking for trouble, Li Luo has to deal with it himself? Li Luo might be talented, but most of his early years were wasted dealing with his blank palaces. How can someone from the Xia Kingdom be compared to the cultivating geniuses of the Heavenly Origin Divine continent who had endless resources funneled into them?" Ox Biaobiao frowned.

Li Rouyun calmly replied, "Ox Biaobiao, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li is not some peaceful ivory tower. It is riddled with dispute, and many things will require Li Luo to compete and obtain with his own strength, much like what Li Taixuan did. Additionally, do you have no faith in him? He has amazing parents, and once he returns to the clan, he will easily catch up with the aid of the clan's resources."

Li Luo smiled when he heard this. He didn't wish to stir up trouble, but if someone wanted to use the excuse of the previous generation's issues to cause problems for him, he wouldn't simply stand by.

He really wanted to see how amazing the geniuses of the inner divine continent were. Were they truly a cut above the rest?

As the One Star Hall champion of the East Divine Continent, Li Luo didn't mind being submissive to the older generation... After all, he was completely disadvantaged. However, if someone in the same generation came cruising for a bruising, he'd be happy to leave them bloodied. His own mother had beaten up the older generation, and as her son, he couldn't be too far off either.

"Li Luo, when you arrive, the clan will put you through a series of tests in accordance with the rules. You cannot reject nor leave anything in reserve. It's best that you demonstrate your full potential. That way, Grandpa will have plenty of reasons to give you more resources," Li Rouyun said.

Li Luo nodded. He was not going there to hide his strength and bide his time in the shadows. There was no point to that. He would reveal his full capabilities and borrow the resources of the clan to further strengthen himself.

Thus, he had given himself several personal goals.

Firstly, the most important thing was to obtain the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus and to borrow the ancient college's original Tree of Resonant Power to transfer it to Sister Qing'e.

Secondly, he had to boost his own personal strength and reach the Duke Stage as soon as he could.

Li Luo had set himself the timeline of three years to hit the Duke Stage. Although he had four years left, there was no need to leave it till the end. This would give him more space and it would be perfect.

Of course, he would thus be placed under undue stress. Three years of time to reach the Duke Stage from the Earth Fiend Palace Tier would require exceptional cultivating speed. Li Luo felt that this was rarely seen, even within the inner divine continents.

Thirdly, he would have to find a way for Ox Biaobiao to recover his shattered Duke Bergfrieds and regain his strength.

This would require him to ask his grandpa for advice on the matter.

Lastly, he had one more special aim to achieve here. When he reached the Duke Stage, he would gain his fourth blank palace.

The Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art would no longer be helpful and he would have to find something even better.

That would be the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art which Li Taixuan had talked about. This was his greatest goal on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.
