Chapter 555 - 251: Huh? We’re Going to My Place?

When he finally arrived in front of the Crystal Palace, Lu Wenwu began to reminisce about the art classes he hadn’t paid much attention to in his youth.

The principle of perspective, where nearby things appear large and distant things small, seemed perfectly applicable here.

From afar, it appeared just like a small hill.

But when he got close, he discovered...

The location of the Dragon Palace was incredibly high, at least several thousand meters in altitude, sitting atop Dragon Palace City like the Great Sun, at the highest point in the world.

Even more incredible was...

The "mountain" supporting the Dragon Palace was entirely constructed from spirit stones.

A mountain made completely from low-grade spirit stones!

Even if it was only used to tile the mountain’s surface like ceramic tiles, the number of stones needed to build such a peak would require calculations in the trillions.

The Celestial Fire Demon God, already numbed with shock, didn’t dare to imagine how many years of war this would initiate if the Cultivation Realm found out about it.

It could only be said that the Dragon Palace truly lived up to its name; the accumulated wealth of the ancient race over the years was indeed staggering.

Whenever and wherever it was seen, one would always be astounded by the True Dragon Race’s immense wealth.

Not to mention the Dragon Palace City itself, which harnessed the power of nature and held the universe in a mustard seed.

It took Lu Wenwu several hours to fly at full speed from the outer gate to here; the vastness of the journey was truly frightening.

In other words, the internal metrics of this city... could be measured in kilometers.

It’s hard to imagine how such a massive and three-dimensional city, capable of housing untold billions of the clan to live and thrive, could have transformed into the current ghost city.

During the journey to the Dragon Palace, Lu Wenwu used the Eye of True Sight continuously but found not a single sign of life.

Nothing was left behind.

No bodies, no life, as if the owners of the houses had locked their doors and went on a long journey, never to return.

The Eye of True Sight analysis showed that the Dragon Palace itself had no defensive restrictions installed.

What existed was the extreme luxury, carved beams, painted rafters, and glittering gold.

The logic was similar to that of the outside world.

Even with all the combined clan members, it wouldn’t be enough to be a threat to even one claw of the True Dragon Race, no need for defense.

If outsiders could break through the outer defensive array and find this place, a mere blocking door wouldn’t stop them; it wasn’t necessary.

Pushing open the luxurious door worth a fortune, Lu Wenwu finally got a glimpse of the true scenery of the Dragon Palace.

The Celestial Fire Demon God was so excited in the Life and Death Talisman that it was about to pass out.

Who would have thought that after being "dead" for so many years, it could still enjoy the treatment once reserved for the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race Empire!

"I said that even if your strength and status are maxed out, your aesthetic won’t necessarily improve."

Walking inside the Dragon Palace, Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but smirk.

The Dragon Palace was indeed good.

Pry off anything and take it to the Cultivation Realm for sale, and you could indulge in the thrill of being a millionaire.

However, the aesthetic sense of the Dragon Race... Lu Wenwu truly couldn’t agree with it.

If it were to be described in two words, it would be—Elder Shi Quan.

Sharing the same aesthetic as Elder Shi Quan, it was dazzling and even a bit exhausting to look at.

Although the palace of the previous Old Dragon King wasn’t as extravagant as this one, its architectural style and aesthetics were greatly appreciated by Lu Wenwu.

Passing one empty palace after another, apart from luxurious furnishings and decorations, nothing substantial remained inside.

It seems that the owner, though in a hurry during their departure, had taken most things of importance, leaving no legendary encounters of finding divine artifact treasures or spiritual elixirs during the raid.

This left Lu Wenwu feeling somewhat regretful.

Finally reaching the central courtyard of the Dragon Palace, he arrived at a massive plaza where he saw something that could be truly called an extremely precious treasure, a treasure with its own mythological legend.

It looked like a model of a rushing, unceasing river, only this model was terrifyingly large, hundreds of meters long, emanating a unique and powerful ancient aura.

On either side of the river, at the upstream, stood two coiling golden dragon columns.

Surrounded by rugged rocks, the water flowed with a rumbling roar, louder than the average Immortal Sect spell.

The Eye of True Sight provided analysis.

Selected among the divine spirits, transformed with the Kun, shedding its scales. Watching its rise to the celestial skyline, leaving the Water Mansion, heading for the ninth sky, crossing five sandy banks, it comes to the door, leaving as if from a corridor, though hanging on waves for a thousand rens, it ultimately becomes air with a single breath.

This, is the Transformed Dragon Sect from myth, which could turn fish into true dragons.

It’s equivalent to a man-made calamity, used to help the True Dragon Race supplement its population, selecting elites from the Aquatic Race to become their own people.

However, Lu Wenwu was not concerned about what this meant for the Dragon Race right now.

His concern was why the Transformed Dragon Sect connected to the whole Dragon Palace was ownerless?

The spiritual mark on it had completely disappeared, and even the artifact spirit had vanished.

This, according to the Eye of True Sight analysis, was an existence that had reached Immortal Artifact level but had lost the spirit born upon its ascension to Immortal Artifact!

He continued past the Transformed Dragon Sect, heading towards the more advanced palaces.

The entire structure of the Dragon Palace bore some resemblance to that of the ancient palaces of Huaxia, only with many unique aesthetic modifications specific to the Dragon Race, which looked somewhat strange from a human perspective.

"The legendary Dragon Palace... the legendary Transformed Dragon Sect..." the Celestial Fire Demon God couldn’t help but express awe, "To behold such a treasure, even if I were to perish, it would still feel worthwhile."
