A black crystal ball with a smooth surface like a mirror reflected Li Luos face, on which there was an obvious expectation and tension.

  He also wanted to know what it was that his parents had left him with such great care and thought.

  "How should I open it?"

  Li Luo suppressed the tension in his heart and glanced around at the mysterious black crystal ball before tentatively placing his palms on it.

  Buzz!

  Just as his palm touched the crystal ball, the crystal ball seemed to emit a slight vibration. The originally hard and smooth surface was like a liquid, gradually covering Li Luos palms.

  At the same time, Li Luo faintly felt that there seemed to be a tiny thing like a needle piercing into his palm, and some fresh blood was drawn out.

  A black liquid slowly left his palms, and a light began to emanate from it. Finally, under Li Luos astonished gaze, the two lights intertwined above him.

  Looking at those two extremely familiar figures, Li Luo suddenly felt a surge of sourness rising to the tip of his nose.

  "Dad, Mom..."

  Those two figures, a man and a woman, the man was exceptionally handsome, his physique was straight as a spear, wearing all white clothes, charming and imposing, he had a warm smile on his face, with an aura that was majestic and profound, giving people an indescribable sense of security.

  The woman was wearing a purple coat, with her long hair tied up and her hands leisurely inserted into the pockets of her clothes. Her face was also extremely beautiful, elegant and refined.

  Li Lus parents, Li Tai Xuan and Dan Tai Lan.

  "Haha, Little Luo, when we took this photo, you should have been around 17 years old already. Probably at that time, we werent by your side." As Li Luo gazed at the two beams of light, Li Taixuan spoke up.

  "Shouldnt Xiaoluo become more handsome? Has he been pursued by girls in the school?" said Lingtai Lan with a smile.

  Li Luo rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Your son is now handsome, but hes useless in every other way. Who would come after him?"

  "Is Xiao Luo now blaming himself and feeling useless?" However, Li Taixuans expression seemed to know what was on Li Luos mind at this time, and he smiled again.

  "Is it because of the void within you?"

  Li Luo was suddenly shocked when he heard this, because when the Xiang Gong appeared in his body, Li Taixuan and Dan Tai Lan had already disappeared, how could they know his situation?

  "Xiao Luo, dont be surprised. Actually, the situation with your inner void had been observed by us using a special secret method before you even appeared in the star palace, including the three palaces that you possess." said Lingtai Lan with gentle eyes.

  Li Luo opened his mouth, and at this moment, he remembered a lot. It turned out that his parents knew about the special situation in his body earlier than him. So, would their disappearance have something to do with this? Where are you all now...? Is everything okay? Why hasnt there been any news for so many years?

  "Xiao Luo, first of all, I want to tell you here that being born with an empty phase is not a useless thing. On the contrary, in my opinion, it is the strongest physique in the world. You dont have to be discouraged by this, but instead should feel happy about it." Li Taixuans words were like thunder on a clear day, leaving Li Luo stunned and speechless.

  "Dad, do you have to comfort me in such an exaggerated way?" Li Luo had a "youre just trying to fool me" expression on his face. This empty linked force is already difficult to cultivate, and yet its the strongest physique. Who are you trying to fool, Dad?

  "You were born with an empty phase, unable to absorb and refine the energy of heaven and earth. This is indeed a problem that touches the root, but this problem does not necessarily have no solution." Li Taixuan smiled slightly and said.

  "Since its a void phase, just find a way to fill one in and thats it." Lingtai Lan also smiled.

  Li Luo furrowed his brow, saying it was easy, but in fact, it was almost impossible. Compatibility is innate, and trying to fill it in later is unheard of. He had also made similar attempts before, all of which ended in failure without exception.

  "Ordinary methods are indeed impossible, but since we found out about your innate emptiness, weve been trying to find a way."

  "Heaven never abandons those who persevere, and in the end we found it."

  When Li Taixuan said this, Li Luo could clearly hear his own heartbeat pounding like a drum, and the intensity of the pounding made his head feel dizzy for an instant.

  "We flipped through countless ancient books and finally found a method called Small Wu Xiang Shen Duan Technique. With this technique, we can forge the acquired appearance, and if we infuse it with the persons essence and soul during the forging process, then the final appearance will be able to merge into the palace of appearances."

  "Xiao Luo, you were born with an empty fate, but that doesnt necessarily mean its a bad thing. Because the innate fate is too random and difficult to control, whereas the acquired fate forged through the Small Wu Xiang Shen Duan Technique can be shaped according to your will."

  "If you want to cultivate Elemental Harmony, then head in the direction of Elemental Harmony; if you want to cultivate Ten Thousand Beast Harmony, then go in the direction of Ten Thousand Beast Harmony."

  "Afterwards, in the three palaces of your horoscope, all will be equipped with the three aspects you carefully crafted. At that time, they will generate each other and their power will far surpass those innate aspects."

  Li Luos eyes lit up, this statement was not bad. Among the many physiognomies, when a persons physiognomy is opened, their fate is fixed and cannot be changed no matter what. But here, although there was no innate physiognomy, it made up for it with its strong ability to be molded through later life experiences.

  "Xiao Luo, this Xiaowuxiang Shen Duan Shu that was forged from the acquired features has another wonderful benefit." Lan added.

  Although he knew it was just a photo in front of him, Li Luo suddenly became spirited and said, "If you want to talk about the benefits, Im not sleepy at all."

  "Normally, congenital aspects are mostly single elements, but the acquired aspect forged by Small Wu Xiang Shen Duan Technique is different, as it contains two attributes, one primary and one secondary."

  "These two attributes, if they can choose to be mutually beneficial, will necessarily make them like a tiger with wings added. Although there are some heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the world that may also give birth to other elements in peoples palaces, but that is too small, at most only a little gain, compared to your main and deputy compatibility, it is far from enough."

  "Oh cow! Oh cow!"

  Li Luo clapped his hands forcefully, and he naturally understood how precious this point was. If he chose to mainly use the Fire Phase, adding the Thunder Phase element as a supplement, with the Fire and Thunder phases superimposed, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the destructive power of his phase force.

  At this point, even he couldnt help but feel a little excited, it seemed that his so-called Void Phase was indeed more exquisite than the Innate Phase!

  "Cough, but nothing is perfect. Although the acquired and congenital aspects are unmatched in harmony, there is still a flaw - the acquired aspect that has been hammered out will not exceed the fourth rank at the beginning." Li Taixuan suddenly coughed and said.

  Li Luotuo was taken aback for a moment, somewhat hesitant. The fourth rank of the physiognomy was indeed a bit low, and compared to Jiang Qinges ninth-rank radiant appearance, the gap was not small.

  Under this disparity in strength, even if he had both primary and secondary elements of his acquired constitution, its unlikely that he could easily catch up.

  But this hesitation was only temporary after all, his current situation couldnt get any worse, even if it was a fourth-rank match, that would still be considered not bad!

  "Of course, you dont have to worry, although the starting point of the later days is low, but it can be improved with the method of the later days." Dingtai Lan was most fond of his son and immediately enlightened him.

  Li Luo suddenly realized, yes, there are many strange medicines and treasures in this world that have the magical effect of improving the quality of relationships. Especially, there is a profession called "Tempering Master" that can refine various tempering relationship elixirs and spiritual lights, which are most welcomed by countless matchmakers.

  Generally speaking, this kind of external object can only raise the quality of compatibility by one or two levels at most.

  And his later heavens appearance, if it starts extremely, can only be four products, and after various promotions, it will stop at the level of five or six products at most.

  "Is Xiao Luo worried that external objects can enhance compatibility to the extreme?" Just then, Li Taixuans laughter rang out as Li Lu was lost in thought.

  "Oh?" Seeing Li Taixuans smile, Li Luos eyebrows involuntarily twitched. Could it be that this slight flaw also had a chance to be made up for?

  Just as Li Luo was waiting with a full face of expectation, Dongtai Lan suddenly coughed softly on the side, interrupting Li Taixuan who wanted to speak. She saw that she was somewhat dissatisfied and said: "Everything has been said by you, what can I say to Little Luo?"

  Li Tai Xuan was apparently stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Wife, Im sorry, I was wrong. You come and talk to our son next."

  Li Luo saw this scene and couldnt help but shake his head. His old mans will to survive was truly unmatched, was he beaten into this state?

  "Hey kid, is someone making fun of your dad?"

  But Li Taixuans image seemed to know Li Luojians reaction, and he hummed a sound, then said very seriously: "Youre still young, you dont understand, Im not afraid of your mother, but my love for her is too deep. Ive told you many times before, loving ones wife is the first family rule in our household. In the future, when youre with Qinge, you must also follow this rule, do you know?"

  Li Luo couldnt help but let out a cold laugh, "Dad, every time you tell me this, if it werent for the fresh fist print on your face, I would have almost believed you."

  But mentioning Jiang Qinge, Li Luo couldnt help but sigh again. Qinge was almost raised by his mother alone, so her personality is also very similar to hers, and she often wants to beat him up at the slightest provocation.

  What can be done after this?

  With a worried heart, Li Luo looked up at his fathers image, and the latter seemed to have understood what he was thinking, for a moment, both father and son were somewhat sorrowful.

  "Li Taixuan, can you stop fooling around and wasting my time?" said Ding Tai Lanyu with a slightly raised eyebrow as the father and son were heartbroken for each other.

  Li Tai Xuan nodded hastily upon hearing this, indicating he understood.

  Then, Lingtai Lan looked at Li Luo, and his tone became gentle: "The restriction of external objects on the promotion of congenital compatibility is only for congenital compatibility. Because no matter how refined those external objects are, they will eventually contain some impurities. It is the accumulation of these impurities that ultimately leads to the complete closure of the palace, making it impossible to promote congenital compatibility."

  "But Xiao Luo, your Void Attribute is not within this scope. Because other peoples attribute palaces are born with attributes, they will naturally have a sense of rejection towards those who refine external objects. But your Void Attribute has no distinction between attributes, emptiness is both nothingness and the representation of being able to contain all things."

  "So, your appearance can be continuously refined and improved through external means, although its true that the higher the level, the greater the difficulty, but you indeed have the opportunity to make your acquired appearance approach perfection."

  "Thats why I said, Xiao Luo, this so-called Void Phase is probably the strongest phase in this world. What it lacks is only the key to unlock it."

  Li Luoxins emotions were surging violently, and in these few years, the void within him had made him endure a lot. At first, he also felt indignant and resentful, but ultimately, all his indignation turned into helplessness, and he could only accept reality.

  However, his old man told him that this Void was not a useless thing, but the strongest in the world.

  At this moment, Li Luo couldnt help but turn red-eyed.

  "Xiao Luo, that first acquired postnatal physiognomy, we previously took your essence and a strand of your soul, has been refined and is now inside this crystal ball."

  "Xiaowu Xiang Shen also has a part in it," said Lán Tái.

  A warm current surged through Li Luos heart, and immediately he opened his arms: "Father and mother, thank you, come on, Im ready, pass on that postnatal physiognomy and the Small Wu Xiang Shengong to me, let your son start this life of leaps and bounds from now on."

  However, at this time, Li Taixuans expression became serious. He fell silent for a few breaths before saying, "There is one more thing I need to explain to you. Integrating the acquired form into your body isnt as simple as you think."

  "The day after tomorrow, when the fusion occurs, it will drain a large amount of your vital energy. The reason why you are required to activate this object at seventeen is because by that age, you can barely withstand the loss of such vital energy."

  "But most importantly... after fusing with the heavenly fate, what you lose is not just your vitality, but also... your lifespan."

  "From the moment of fusion, your lifespan will only have five years left... unless you can enter the rank of Marquis within five years and evolve to a higher level of life, otherwise, after five years, your lifespan will come to an end."

  "This matter, your mother and I have been arguing for a long time. After all, the price is too high. But youve grown up, Little Luo. We decided to tell you about this and let you make your own choice. Little Luo, do you choose to maintain the status quo, become a wealthy and idle person, and live a peaceful life? Or do you choose to merge with the heavenly fate, start fighting against heaven, and embark on that endless journey of danger?"

  "If you choose the former, just close the crystal ball and everything inside will self-destruct. If you choose the latter, put your palm into it. How to decide, only you can do it yourself, but no matter what choice you make, Dad and Mom will always support you."

  The conversation came to an abrupt end. Li Taixuan and Dantai Lans images stopped speaking, simply gazing quietly ahead with warm eyes.

  Li Luo also slowly sat down, his eyes fixed on the dark crystal ball, his expression changing unpredictably.

  He had thought before that with such a huge void potential, how could there be no sequelae at all. It turned out to be waiting here after all.

  Now, the choice he makes will decide whether he becomes a weak and feeble spirit or a short-lived one.
