Chapter 661: Major Faceless Divine Forging Art
At this moment, Li Luo felt his whole life had turned gloomy. With no follow-up to this Minor Faceless Divine Forging Art, once he entered the Marquis Realm, wouldn't he just be staring at another empty phase?!
Although he already had three phases, who would complain about having too many?
"Enough, stop teasing Xiao Luo." Dantai Lan shot Li Taixuan a look, then said to Li Luo: "After the Marquis Realm, the empty phase you give birth to truly cannot be solved by the Minor Faceless Divine Forging Art, so you need a more wondrous advanced technique—the advanced chapter of the 'Minor Faceless Divine Forging Art,' the 'Major Faceless Divine Forging Art.'"
"Major Faceless Divine Forging Art?" Li Luo was stunned, then hurriedly asked: "Where is it? How do I get it?"
"Both the Minor Faceless and Major Faceless Divine Forging Arts are wondrous techniques passed down from the Upper Ancient era. They originated from a super force in the Upper Ancient era called the 'Faceless Saint Sect.' If there is any place in this world where the 'Major Faceless Divine Forging Art' can still be found, it should only be in the Upper Ancient ruins of that 'Faceless Saint Sect.'" Dantai Lan said.
And when mentioning the 'Faceless Saint Sect,' a hint of emotion flickered in her eyes.
Li Taixuan beside her added: "The 'Minor Faceless Divine Forging Art' you previously cultivated was also something we obtained from that Upper Ancient ruin."
Li Luo was somewhat dumbfounded, because what Dantai Lan said seemed rather distant to him.
What Faceless Saint Sect, what Upper Ancient ruins... could a place of that level be something a mere little Fiend Palace Realm cultivator like him could come into contact with?
"Is the Upper Ancient ruin of the Faceless Saint Sect in the Inner Shenzhou?" Although somewhat dumbfounded, for the sake of his future cultivation, Li Luo still obediently asked.
"Mm, that place is Tianyuan Shenzhou, one of the four great Inner Shenzhous." Li Taixuan also sighed, then smiled at Li Luo and said: "You might already know some information by now, right? That's right, your mother and I came from Tianyuan Shenzhou."
"In the future, if you get the chance, you should go there as well. After all, just for this 'Major Faceless Divine Forging Art,' you probably won't be able to escape it."
Li Luo shrugged and said: "We'll talk about it later. The Marquis Realm is still far off."
Although he greatly desired the so-called 'Major Faceless Divine Forging Art,' this matter wasn't urgent. After all, it was a problem he would only face after stepping into the Marquis Realm. Right now, he was only at the Fiend Palace Realm, and if he couldn't step into the Marquis Realm within the next four years, then the 'Major Faceless Divine Forging Art' would be irrelevant—because if his life was gone, what was the point of cultivation techniques?
So for now, he only needed to keep the Upper Ancient ruins of this 'Faceless Saint Sect' in mind.
"Old man, then what's the situation with this Li Li Tianwang lineage? You'll have to explain it to me, right?" Li Luo shifted the topic to this question he had always wanted to know.
Upon hearing this, Li Taixuan immediately laughed and said: "Xiao Luo, you even know about this matter? How does it feel? That sudden surprise of discovering you're actually a super second-generation heir?"
Dantai Lan beside him, however, scoffed coldly and said: "What's there to be surprised about? Just a rotten, stubborn, broken-down old clan relying on the shade of their ancestors."
Li Luo was a bit taken aback hearing Dantai Lan's words. It seemed his mother didn't have much goodwill toward this so-called 'Li Li Tianwang lineage.' It looked like there was quite a story between them.
Li Taixuan gave an awkward smile and said to Li Luo: "Just as the name suggests, the ancestor of our lineage was once a peak powerhouse at the Heavenly King level—a great being at the top tier of this world. His bloodline passed down, and it has kept our lineage prosperous for a thousand years."
"Our Li Li Tianwang lineage is also a top-tier force in that Tianyuan Shenzhou. In the future, if you get the chance to go there, you can also acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan. After all, no matter what, you share a blood connection with them."
"Sounds like a super massive force, but to me, House Luolan Mansion still feels more familiar." Li Luo said.
Although he knew that the so-called 'Li Li Tianwang lineage' must be a super force, and compared to it, not to mention the Great Xia Wang Ting, probably even the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy wouldn't amount to much, Li Luo had grown up in House Luolan Mansion since childhood. So in his view, no matter how strong or how deep the foundations of the Li Li Tianwang lineage, it wasn't as good as this House Luolan Mansion that, though small, felt warm and intimate.
"Xiao Luo is still the best. That Li Li Tianwang lineage is nothing impressive. In the future, Xiao Luo will become a Heavenly King-level powerhouse on his own—no need for those rotten old fogeys." Hearing Li Luo say this, Dantai Lan was very pleased and smiled as she patted Li Luo's hair.
"Mother, you seem to have a lot of opinions about them?" Li Luo asked curiously.
Dantai Lan lightly pursed her lips and didn't reply, clearly not wanting to bring up these old grievances in front of Li Luo.
"Xiao Luo, you should understand that in such a great clan, things are complicated and there will always be some unpleasant matters. But while there are people you dislike, there won't be few who are close to you either, so you don't need to feel resistant toward it." Li Taixuan said earnestly.
Li Luo nodded and smiled: "Old man, I understand."
Li Taixuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "This time, although your mother and I were able to descend a projection clone with the help of our Lifebound Candle Flame, this is the last time. From now on, if we meet again, it will only be after we come out of the Wang Hou Battlefield, and the timing is still uncertain. So for the road ahead, you and Jiang Jiang Qinge must look after and support each other."
Dantai Lan stared at Li Luo's somewhat grey-white hair, a flash of heartache crossing her eyes, and said: "Now you only have four years of lifespan left, but mother believes you will definitely be able to break through to the Marquis Realm within these four years and shatter this shackle."
Li Luo Heavily nodded and smiled: "Old man, old lady, don't worry. Before I see you again, I can't bear to let you bury your child."
Dantai Lan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Qing beside her, took her hand and said: "Jiang Jiang Qinge, your personality is more reassuring. I'll leave the matter of disciplining Xiao Luo to you. If he does anything bad, don't be polite—just hit him."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiang Qinge slightly tilted her head and glanced at Li Luo, and Li Luo immediately sensed a strange glint flash through her eyes, sending a sudden chill through his heart.
Then, he heard Jiang Jiang Qinge say in a somewhat low voice: "Master, Mistress, Li Luo told me earlier that he wants to break off our engagement with me."
In that instant, Li Luo felt his scalp prickle. Sister Jiang Jiang Qinge, how could you do this! You're not the type to tattle!
At the same time, he saw Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan cast glances bristling with cold light his way.
Dantai Lan said darkly: "Old Li, this unfilial son who doesn't know what's good for him—should we just get rid of him?"
Li Taixuan nodded heavily and said: "Forget it, let's not keep this one. We'll have another!"
Li Luo was caught between laughter and tears, and could only say helplessly: "Old man, old lady, this is a matter between us young people, please don't meddle. We'll handle it."
Dantai Lan snorted coldly, gave Li Luo a warning glare, then said to Jiang Jiang Qinge: "Jiang Jiang Qinge, don't spoil him too much. Sometimes when he deserves a hit, just hit him directly."
Jiang Jiang Qinge smiled lightly and nodded.
However, after this little interruption, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The projections of Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan also gradually began to turn somewhat illusory. They stared at Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge and said: "Originally there were still many things we wanted to tell you, but time is running short. But we trust you. Remember, no matter what happens, the two of you must prioritize your lives above all else. For this, you can give up anything—even this House Luolan Mansion, and the Divine Essence Substance we left behind."
"Wait for us to come back."
When the last words fell, the candle flame swayed, and the figures of Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan vanished into thin air.
Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge stood in place, gazing at the two fading figures, silent for a long time.
