Chapter 558 - 252: Forced to Inherit the Family Fortune Because the Ancestors Went Adventuring_2

"Young Master Duo!?"

Even Lu Wenwu, with his composure, couldn’t help but exclaim.

Over two hundred thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, more than five billion Upper-grade Spirit Stones, and that’s just a fraction?

This could practically buy half the Cultivation Realm!

You’re telling me this can only last a thousand or two thousand years if spent sparingly?

Huh?

Judging by the production speed of the Spirit Stone below the Dragon Mansion, I could manufacture all of these on my own within one or two thousand years?

What could I possibly need all this for?

Your Dragon Race definitely has problems with its spending habits!

"Just over five billion Upper-grade Spirit Stones, not to mention the Middle-grade and Lower-grade Spirit Stones must..."

"None."

The Old Dragon Emperor criticized sternly, somewhat displeased.

"Those kinds of trash are either thrown to the Clan to use or kept as a foundation; why would we keep such space-consuming things in the Inner Mansion treasury? You haven’t received the proper education and training from the Dragon Race, and being outside all these years has been tough on you; you need to quickly change this bad habit of thriftiness."

Lu Wenwu: "..."

As a wealthy Brother Fu who isn’t short on money and goes out to do charity every now and then, it’s the first time someone has said he was wronged.

Do you even listen to yourself and what you’re saying?

"This bad habit of thriftiness"

No, what kind of life does your Dragon Race live daily?

Thinking to this point, Lu Wenwu suddenly recalled the Spirit Stone Mountain supporting the Dragon Palace.

Could it be... that thing is solid!

Oh my...

This would need a huge amount of Lower-grade Spirit Stones...

Inside might need to use the stronger Middle-grade Spirit Stones for support, and further supplement with other more rare materials to form the framework to support the entirety of the Dragon Palace.

If the Dragon Race is this extravagant, then it could indeed be...

Uh...

Perhaps not enough...

The Old Dragon Emperor patted Lu Wenwu’s shoulder and said earnestly, "Child, our Dragon Race has always had few descendants, it’s very difficult to breed pure Bloodline offspring, even with the Transformed Dragon Sect as a supplement it’s the same.

"As the new Dragon Emperor of our lineage, remember that, including yourself, use the best and avoid the bad."

"In cultivation, the Top-grade Spirit Stones produced by Top-grade Spiritual Vein are unlikely to be fully used by you, they’re sufficient for you to cultivate to Ascension."

"As for those Upper-grade Spirit Stones, treat them as pocket money, you can use them for trading with other Demon Cultivators or humans in the Cultivation Realm."

"Forget about cultivation, the Spiritual Power is impure, a waste of time."

"Time is the most important thing for you, Spirit Stones are just external objects, don’t worry too much about them..."

The Old Dragon Emperor was speaking purely as a rich person.

Cost-effectiveness?

That’s not something the Dragon Race needs to consider.

The Dragon Race only needs to consider how to maximize the use of time, Spirit Stones are just numbers used to save time and effort...

The Old Dragon Emperor continued to talk, showing some difficulty in his expression, "If it’s truly not enough...check around the house to see if there’s any furniture or inherited jewelry, pendants, or anything unsightly, selling them off is also possible, I recall humans have an organization called Celestial Secret Tower that deals with such pawn transactions."

"Those Cold Ice Jade Beds from the North Palace might still be valuable in the Cultivation Realm, or the Red Ridge Warm Jade Couch from the West Palace..."

"Oh right, I almost forgot, the secret vault has been accumulating Dragon Horns for many years, those naturally shed by the clan members with age, should be worth a fortune outside..."

"No need, I can’t use all that." Lu Wenwu sweated, "Uh... senior, as you know, I’m not from this world. You’re giving me so many things along with the position of Dragon Emperor, but the time I spend here..."

This inheritance is excessively large, holding it made Lu Wenwu feel somewhat uneasy.

"Oh, as for that, it doesn’t matter."

The Old Dragon Emperor seemed completely unconcerned, smiling freely.

"In the Great Thousand Worlds, there are countless, naturally our Dragon Race has countless branches, it doesn’t matter which world you’re in, as long as you’re part of the Dragon Race, you’re family."

"If you don’t wish to take the Dragon Mansion, then leave it here, waiting for the next predestined dragon to open it. Then remember to leave a Split Soul like mine to control it according to the method in the records."

"There’s a resource package in the Inner Mansion prepared for you as an inheritor. When the time comes, throw it into the Rising Dragon Pool, follow the steps left on the Jade Slip, and you’ll be able to further purify and strengthen your Dragon Body."

"As for the Divine Weapons, Spiritual Elixirs you’re looking for... I can only apologize. Those are strategic materials, unable to be left for you, at the time we faced a war, leaving you only this much."

"War?"

Lu Wenwu showed a surprised expression.

So this is the truth behind the Dragon Race and Clan collectively disappearing from this world?

"Yes, war, a supposedly unprecedented, large-scale war that affected the Three Thousand Worlds."

The Old Dragon Emperor’s smile faded, the whole mood becoming solemn, and he wore a hint of worry on his face.

"Over eleven thousand years ago, we received a summoning order from our ancestors, commanding all Peak of Divinity Transformation clan members to immediately Cross the Tribulation and Ascend. The Immortal Realm specially opened the Celestial Sect, granting all Clans and clan members whose cultivation level had not met the mark direct entry into the Immortal Realm."

"But if the Immortal Realm couldn’t handle it, you and the Clan..."

Lu Wenwu didn’t continue his sentence.

If it’s a war of this magnitude, in the Cultivation Civilization, wouldn’t Low-tier Cultivators just be sent to die?

What’s the point in that?

The Old Dragon Emperor saw his thoughts and slightly shook his head, "It’s not as you think, as I said before, this was a comprehensive war, affecting everyone from Immortals to mortals, no one was spared."

"It’s just that due to the Dragon Race’s special nature, we took on more responsibility to keep our lineage’s homeland free from war, sheltering other races from becoming front-line cannon fodder."

"As for the Clan, they have enjoyed the Dragon Race’s protection and care for years, it’s also their duty to fulfill. By agreeing to become the Clan, they should have already prepared for fighting, even dying for the Dragon Race."

Lu Wenwu nodded in slight confusion, tentatively asking, "And this war... did we win?"

"I don’t know; my connection to the main body was severed the moment he ascended."

The Old Dragon Emperor seemed lonely, clasping his hands behind his back, pacing around slowly like a sunset elder, his brows deeply furrowed.

"If optimistic, after ten thousand years, this world remains untouched, probably... we didn’t lose. Ha... at least up to now, we haven’t lost."

War...

A war fighting enemies from afar.

A war affecting the entire Three Thousand Worlds.

The Three Thousand Worlds, is this referring to all the Dungeon Worlds?

Intuition told Lu Wenwu that the downfall of the Cyan Profound Sword Sect might be related to this war.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but ask again, "Then senior, who are our opponents?"

"I’m sorry, I also don’t know." The Old Dragon Emperor looked even lonelier, "The scant information passed down from the ancestors only mentions a few words describing the intensity of the war."

"Regarding the enemy, the old man only mentioned one word—Demon."

"Not those so-called Demon-possessed, Demonic Cultivators, nor those intangible Heart Demons, nor the Outer Heaven Demon creatures from different races mentioned in stories and novels, but the true meaning of ’Demon.’

"Demon?"

Lu Wenwu was dumbfounded.

This information is way too little!

The Old Dragon Emperor glanced at him, "Don’t rely on me, I’m just a Split Soul that’s about to dissipate, carrying extremely limited information. I’m not even sure if the main body is still alive, you’ll need to wait until your Ascension..."

"Ohh hey, whether you can ascend to our side is uncertain, whether your homeland was affected is uncertain too, there’s no need to fret over a war from over ten thousand years ago, it will only add unnecessary troubles."

"Hmm...What the senior said is very true; I’ll heed your advice."

Lu Wenwu seemed somewhat distracted, his mind still focused on the matter of the Cyan Profound Sword Sect.

"Oh right, senior, I would like to ask you something. If there is a completely sealed Small World, severed from contact with here, but I have the corresponding coordinates, can the transmission channel to it be reopened?"

This is important for him to directly investigate the Small World the Cyan Profound Sword Sect entered.
