Chapter 0903: Sanctified Dragon's Body

"Sanctified Dragon's Body?"

This piqued Li Luo's interest.

Li Jingtao nodded and continued, "It’s a special body-tempering art from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Once mastered, your physical body will be significantly strengthened and your resonant power will receive a great boost as well. If there were a ranking for all the body-tempering arts in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, our Sanctified Dragon's Body would definitely stand at the top."

Li Fengyi added proudly from the side, "Once you have cultivated the Sanctified Dragon's Body, your vitality will skyrocket. As long as you’re not dealt a fatal blow, you'll recover from any injury no matter how serious it is. It's truly a life-saving skill."

"Actually, the Sanctified Dragon's Body art is really suitable for me," Li Jingtao commented with an honest smile.

Indeed, as he specialized in defensive arts, if he could get his hands on the Sanctified Dragon's Body as well, he would be like an invincible, iron tortoise.

Hearing their explanations, Li Luo was slightly moved. The Sanctified Dragon's Body was undoubtedly a secret art that was much higher in grade than the Thunderpeal Avatar.

Nonetheless, body-tempering arts would usually not boost one's fighting prowess by much.

"As members of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages, we have been laying the foundation for the Sanctified Dragon's Body for years. For example, the Draconic Breath Fiend Art that we have cultivated since the Earth Fiend Stage is not only for refining abstruse fiend lights, it's also given us strands of Heavenly Dragon Energy. These strands will undergo a metamorphosis during the Battle of the Dragon's Head and form the foundation for the Sanctified Dragon's Body," Deng Fengxian explained as well.

"Ordinarily speaking, as direct descendants of the Lineage Chief, you have more strands of Heavenly Dragon Energy in your body compared to others. After all, they have flowed through your blood since birth. Outsiders like me have to work harder through the cultivation of Draconic Breath Fiend Arts in order to make up the difference. As such, it's naturally harder for us."

Li Luo nodded in acknowledgement. The Sanctified Dragon's Body was a vital part of cultivation in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. At the same time, he sighed a little. The Heavenly Emperor powers had amazed him yet again. Such a complete and elaborate inheritance process was far beyond what he had seen back in the Xia Kingdom.

Even if the talents in the Xia Kingdom and the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent were at the same cultivation level, the latter would likely crush the former if they had to battle.

"The Sanctified Dragon's Body is just the first form. The final form is called the Nine Scales Form," Li Fengyi continued explaining.

"Nine Scales Form?"

Li Fengyi nodded as she continued, "There are two different parts to the Battle of the Dragon's Head. The first stage is known as Dragon's Ascent, while the second stage is known as Scales Seizure.

"You'll learn about the first stage when the time comes, there's no need to explain further. As for the second stage, it's one of the most important parts of the Battle of the Dragon's Head. The Dragon's Head is decided by it. Simply put, the focus of the second stage will be on obtaining the Divine Scales of the Heavenly Dragon. Every time you obtain a scale, your Sanctified Dragon's Body will be upgraded by one level. If you're able to obtain nine scales, you'll get the Dragon's Head position as well as the potential to cultivate the Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body.

"The Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body is considered one of the highest achievements for the younger generation. It's not something that every generation's Dragon's Head will be able to obtain.

"However, I heard that Third Uncle was able to get it back in the day." At this point, Li Fengyi paused for a moment and smiled at Li Luo. "You'll have to work hard for it too."

Li Luo simply smiled back helplessly. He was no longer surprised by his father's achievements. Ever since he arrived in the Dragon's Fang Lineage six months ago, he had heard about many of his father’s accomplishments. It was only natural that a man like him would accomplish feats that ordinary individuals couldn't.

Nonetheless, his primary goal was still to secure the Dragon's Head position. His true objective was the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus, and he would fight for it by hook or by crook. As for the so-called Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body, he would just see how things turned out then.

"Eldest Brother, you mentioned a third prize. Now I'm even more interested in it," Li Luo said as he turned towards Li Jingtao.

Hearing this, Li Jingtao smiled and replied, "The third benefit will happen after the Battle of the Dragon's Head concludes. It relates to a secret realm known as the Spiritual Resonance Cave. The secret realm is a really grand event in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. Many major forces send their talents to fight for this rare opportunity when the time comes.

"When the moment arrives, every talent in the continent will be in one place, and everyone in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent will be watching it. It'll be a great chance to make a name for yourself and enter the Empyrean Chronicles."

However, Li Luo did not have much interest in this. He just asked pragmatically, "What's so great about the Spiritual Resonance Cave?"

"Do you know why the secret realm is known as the Spiritual Resonance Cave?" Li Fengyi asked in response.

Li Luo thought for a moment before he said, "I suppose it has to do with our resonance affinities?"

With a smile, Li Fengyi nodded and replied, "Well, you're a smart one. The secret realm is filled with rare materials and treasures, with some top-tier ones that can even push up the grade of one's resonance. Moreover, there are special treasures that can give birth to a secondary resonance as well. These treasures are rare but have appeared before. They even sparked a great bloodbath among all the talents before. After all, everyone knows how much one's strength will be boosted if they are able to get a secondary resonance."

Li Luo couldn’t stop himself from taking a deep breath. A rare treasure that could give birth to a secondary resonance? Wouldn't this be the same as him with his primary and secondary resonances?

Indeed, he had heard of such rumors in the past, but who would have thought that it was actually real.

Nonetheless, he already had three resonances with primary and secondary resonances. This kind of treasure was not particularly interesting to him as he could no longer give birth to any more secondary resonances. In contrast, he was particularly interested in the rare treasures that could increase his resonance grade. At present, his waterlight resonance was an eighth-grade, while his woodearth resonance was seventh-grade. However, his Thunder Dragon resonance was still a sixth-grade despite all the hard work and cultivation he had put in. He had not managed to boost it to the seventh-grade yet.

Since these rare treasures would likely have the same effect as liquids and lights, he might be able to get a huge increment in strength if he could get his hands on some of them. Thinking of this, Li Luo's heart started itching. The Heavenly Origin Divine Continent was truly amazing. A wonderful place like the secret realm would be impossible to find in the outer divine continent.

In the end, he could only contain his excitement. There was no rush to this. His primary focus now was the Battle of the Dragon's Head.

The Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus was his highest priority.

Besides, the Spiritual Resonance Cave would attract talents from all the major forces of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. These top talents would surely be as extraordinary as Qin Yi... If he wanted to have a chance to take full advantage of this rare opportunity, he would need to raise his own strength first. For example, by cultivating the Sanctified Dragon's Body. It would be perfect if he could cultivate the Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body successfully.

With this in mind, Li Luo finished up all the wine in his cup. There was renewed and heightened anticipation towards the upcoming Battle of the Dragon's Head.
