Chapter 1593: Dragon Sacred Seed! Nine Dragons Paragon Emperor Seal!
The mysterious dragon pearl slowly rose higher in the air, entering the eyes of the Lineage Chiefs. All of them sighed with admiration in its presence. The Dragon Sacred Seed was the true foundation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, and every single Lineage Chief had borrowed its power during cultivation to reach the King Stage. Today, the Dragon Sacred Seed would finally have a new owner.
Everyone, especially Li Tianji, was quite surprised about whose hands it ended up in. The most likely candidate to inherit it was once Li Taixuan, though he had left the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li a long time ago. Therefore, the most likely person was the Dragon's Blood Lineage's Li Jiluo.
He was currently a ninth-grade Duke and wasn't far from the King Stage. At this point, if he could inherit the Dragon Sacred Seed, he could borrow this opportunity to understand source origin energy and greatly increase his chances of entering the King Stage. However, no one could have guessed that Li Luo, a junior from the next generation, would ascend the ranks with lightning speed. In just three short years, he had emerged as a dark horse, reaching the Sixth Transcendent Duke Stage. On top of that, he was so highly regarded by the Ancestor that he was named the sixth Lineage Chief. Even the incredibly qualified Li Jiluo had been squeezed out from the running as a result.
Li Tianji closely observed the Dragon Sacred Seed with a complicated look in his eyes. He had planned to have Li Jiluo use it in order to facilitate his breakthrough into the King Stage. At that point, Li Tianji could step down from the position of Mountain Ruling Chief and entrust the responsibility to Li Jiluo. He trusted Li Jiluo deeply and had kept him close for many years. He also believed that Li Jiluo was qualified to be the Mountain Ruling Chief. The Dragon's Blood Lineage would only attain greater heights in his hands, and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would be strengthened. It was a pity... that when compared to Li Luo, who was not only a sixth-grade Transcendent but also possessed the Absolute Resonance Seed, the shining Li Jiluo of the Dragon's Blood Lineage looked much dimmer in comparison and thus lost the competition.
"Li Luo, this is the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Dragon Sacred Seed. You have extraordinary talent, the best in tens of generations within the bloodline. Perhaps only in your hands can the Dragon Sacred Seed evolve into an acquired Genesis Seed." Li Tianji pushed out with his hand, causing the dragon pearl that contained the Dragon Sacred Seed to float before Li Luo.
Li Luo was staring at it with unrequited passion and desire. He could sense the Heavenly Dragon resonance letting out triumphant and jubilant roars. The Sacred Seed's power stemmed from source origin energy, so he would gain unimaginable benefits by absorbing it. This was the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's most precious treasure, and it now belonged to him.
He took a deep breath and his expression turned solemn before he once again cupped his fist towards Li Tianji and the rest of the Lineage Chiefs. "I will be sure to keep the Dragon Sacred Seed safe. If I manage to evolve it into a Genesis Seed one day, I'll definitely leave it for future generations."
Based on the bloodline's rules, once the inheritor of the Dragon Sacred Seed was chosen, it would remain with the individual for a hundred years. After which, it would be retrieved and returned for posterity. This was wh Heavenly Emperor powers could produce more Kings than other peak powers. The Sacred Seed was the key to this.
Li Luo then stretched his hand out, using a finger to slice open his palm and allowing the Dragon Sacred Seed to enter his body. Then he channeled his blood towards it. When blood entered the Dragon Sacred Seed, Li Luo could clearly sense strands of ancient and pure Heavenly Dragon aura fuse with it. After which, it settled into the depths of his body.
