Chapter 1560: A Little Shock for the Two Line Leaders

Seeing the two of them looking so bewildered, Dantai Lan pursed her lips slightly and said, "It seems the two of you haven't heard of the Myriad Phases Seed, passed down from the ancient Primeval Formless Sacred Sect."

"Myriad Phases Seed?" Li Li Tianji and Li Li Qingying showed contemplative looks in their eyes. A moment later, their hearts gave a sudden jolt.

As for the Formless Sacred Sect—that colossal entity that had dominated an entire era—as King-realm experts of the Li Li Tianwang line, they naturally knew of it. However, the so-called "Myriad Phases Seed" was far too secretive. Ever since the Formless Sacred Sect vanished into the river of time, there had been almost no trace of the Myriad Phases Seed left in this world.

So if Dantai Lan hadn't brought it up, they would never have thought of this thing on their own.

Still, what did Dantai Lan mean by this?

Li Li Tianji's gaze lingered on Li Luo. After a few moments of silence, he said slowly, "What Dantai Line Leader means is, Li Luo is a Myriad Phases Seed?!"

Li Li Qingying was also somewhat lost in thought, saying, "Didn't the Myriad Phases Seed disappear into the river of history along with the fall of the Formless Sacred Sect? How could Li Luo..."

"This is the great opportunity I obtained back when I entered the Formless Sacred Sect," Dantai Lan said lightly.

Only now did Li Li Tianji and Li Li Qingying recall that Dantai Lan had once entered the headquarters ruins of the Formless Sacred Sect, hidden within the endless void and shrouded by the mists of time.

Well, that explained it!

"The Myriad Phases Seed... I've heard it is a legendary seed forged through the countless efforts and deductions of successive sect masters of the Formless Sacred Sect. Its profundity rivals that of a Primeval Seed. Ah, no wonder Li Luo possesses so many phases—it aligns perfectly with the legendary Myriad Phases Seed."

Li Li Tianji's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the way he looked at Li Luo became fervent. If the Myriad Phases Seed truly was so wondrous, then Li Luo's future achievements would likely be astonishingly great.

After all, the reason the Formless Sacred Sect had become a colossal entity that dominated an era was largely due to the existence of the Myriad Phases Seed.

"No wonder the Old Ancestor made Li Luo the sixth Line Leader. This kind of potential is indeed terrifying." Li Li Tianji finally understood why Li Li Tianwang valued Li Luo so highly, conferring the title of Line Leader upon him before he had even claimed his kingship.

In a certain sense, Li Luo, who bore the Myriad Phases Seed, had even more potential than those who inherited Sacred Seeds.

"One Primeval Seed, one Myriad Phases Seed—is our Li Li Tianwang line about to usher in unprecedented prosperity?" Li Li Qingying couldn't help but get a little excited as she spoke.

Li Li Tianji nodded with a complicated expression. At this moment, he had completely understood that the future Li Li Tianwang line would surely belong to the Dragon Fang Line, and the glory of the Dragon Blood Line would become a thing of the past.

The authority to oversee the mountains would fall into the hands of the Dragon Fang Line.

Regarding this turn of events, although Li Li Tianji felt some melancholy, he did not truly harbor any disloyal thoughts. After all, he understood that if Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge could truly reach Li Li Tianwang's level in the future, then the Li Li Tianwang line would also soar, becoming the true number-one Li Tianwang line in this world.

The Li Li Tianwang line would reach unprecedented heights because of them.

If he could witness this scene, Li Li Tianji felt he would die without regret.

Thinking this way, Li Li Tianji suddenly relaxed a great deal. He smiled, cupped his fists toward Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, and said, "The Li Li Tianwang line will spare no effort in protecting your Dao."

"If any resources within the clan are useful to you, feel free to take them."

He now understood the Old Ancestor's idea of making Li Luo the sixth Line Leader—it was to make their Li Li Tianwang line the most solid backing for Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Seeing this, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge hurriedly cupped their fists and returned the courtesy. Although in the past Li Luo would inwardly grumble about some of Li Li Tianji's ways of doing things, from the perspective of the Li Li Tianwang line, Li Li Tianji was a qualified Mountain-Overseeing Line Leader. Everything he did was for the growth and interests of the Li Li Tianwang line.

Dantai Lan also nodded slightly. If Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge had not broken through to Unparalleled Sixth Grade this time, she would not have chosen to expose Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's secrets. After all, the two of them had lacked sufficient strength in the past, and if such news were revealed, it would bring them great covetousness—like a child carrying gold through a busy market.

But now the two of them were growing wings. With their strength, as long as no King-realm expert intervened, they were enough to run rampant anywhere.

Revealing their secrets at this time would also make the Li Li Tianwang line value them more, and thus prevent any other thoughts from arising.

"Li Qingying Line Leader, when deriving the 'Evil-Dissolving Array,' if you need any other Upper Nine Grade phases, I can help coordinate." Li Luo said with a smile to Li Li Qingying.

As his words fell, he flicked a wisp of phase power from his finger. As the phase power rose, it split apart before everyone, forming eight different phases.

Water, Light, Wood, Earth, Sky Dragon, Thunder, Crystal, Ice.

"These eight phases, I can use the Myriad Phases Seed to transform any single one of them into Upper Nine Grade in a short time," Li Luo said with a smile.

At the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, Li Luo once used the Myriad Phases Seed to elevate a Light phase to Upper Ninth Grade, though he relied on the advantageous terrain of the Light Star at the time. Now, however, with his strength advancing by leaps and bounds and the emergence of the Mid Ninth Grade Crystal Ice phase, transforming phases to Upper Ninth Grade again requires almost no cost.

Faced with Li Luo's such extravagant words, even the well-traveled Li Li Tianji and Li Li Qingying couldn't help but be somewhat lost in thought.

"Eight phases... can be freely transformed into Upper Nine Grade phases."

The two Line Leaders exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Was this the wondrous aspect of the Myriad Phases Seed? It truly was beyond comprehension.

"Having one more Upper Nine Grade phase would naturally be best—it would make our 'Evil-Dissolving Array' even stronger!"

Li Li Qingying was also stirred to interest. Her gaze burned as she looked at the eight phases before Li Luo, then she sat down cross-legged, brought her hands together, and a dragon-scale ancient mirror appeared between them. The mirror's surface flickered, and countless obscure, complex patterns emerged, beginning to continuously combine into one array formation after another.

She began to derive the Evil-Dissolving Array with Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge as the core.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge sat cross-legged opposite her, circulating their phase power, and following the occasional requests from Li Li Qingying, they coordinated accordingly.

Facing the derivation the three had begun, Dantai Lan and Li Li Tianji stepped back.

"Dantai Line Leader, regarding the matter of that year, it was indeed this old man's shortsightedness. If Dantai Line Leader harbors any resentment, you may place it on this old man's head—do not let it turn into resentment toward the Li Li Tianwang line." Li Li Tianji looked at Dantai Lan at this moment, an apologetic look appearing on his aged face.

Dantai Lan's footsteps paused. Her expression was bland. In truth, she had never hidden her dislike for the Li Li Tianwang line. Previously, she had originally planned to take Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge and leave, but she hadn't expected that Li Jingzhue, before his fall, would hand the burden of the Dragon Fang Line to her.

And she had absolutely no interest in taking on this Dragon Fang Line Leader position. But Li Jingzhue had fallen in order to protect Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge—he was a qualified grandfather. So for this reason, Dantai Lan had agreed to succeed as Dragon Fang Line Leader.

This, she figured Li Li Tianji and the others could clearly sense.

So over these two years, the other four Line Leaders had also been very courteous to her, clearly afraid that she would drop the burden at the slightest displeasure. Although a Dragon Fang Line without a leader might allow the other four lines to enjoy more resources, they all understood that none of that could compare to the absence of a King-realm expert.

"The matters of that year have long passed, and I have no interest in raking up old scores. Li Luo and Jiang Qinge have cultivated within the Li Li Tianwang line these years, and you haven't mistreated them. They are people who know gratitude, and naturally they will pour their feelings into the Li Li Tianwang line."

Dantai Lan said calmly, "However, I only hope that the events of that year will not repeat themselves upon them."

Li Li Tianji was silent for a few breaths, then cupped his fists toward Dantai Lan and said slowly, "This old man can assure you that no matter what happens in the future, no matter what kind of powerful enemy we must face, the Li Li Tianwang line will surely mobilize the full strength of the clan to shelter them."

Dantai Lan nodded slightly, stepping toward the distance, as a faint voice drifted back.

"And the Li Li Tianwang line will thereby march toward unprecedented prosperity."
