Chapter 559 - 253: True Dragon Treasure Blood, the Old Dragon Emperor’s Concerns

The Old Dragon Emperor pondered for a moment before replying, "In theory, it’s possible, but that requires extremely high spatial mastery and artifact refining techniques, at least enough to cultivate the ability to construct a permanent long-distance teleportation array or a stable spatial channel."

"The 4th layer in Zone B of the Inner Mansion Scripture Library is all about the usage of Spatial Power and the recorded experiences in the Path of Space. In the artifact refining section on the top floor, there is a recording of a method to construct a temporary cross-realm teleportation array. If you have confidence in yourself, you can try that."

"Any other questions, ask them quickly before I dissipate. I can answer everything I know, but my existence can only be maintained for less than half a year before it dissipates."

"Half a year?" Lu Wenwu was shocked, "How can that be? With your current state, even existing for a few more hundreds of years shouldn’t be a problem?"

As a former Netherworld Ghost Messenger, although he didn’t often use the methods of a Ghost Messenger to solve problems.

But with a year of training, he had developed a good eye.

A Great Power of the level of the Old Dragon Emperor cutting a strand of Split Soul on his own and binding it with the Dragon Palace, as long as there are Soul Nourishing Items, surviving for tens of thousands of years should be a breeze.

A Split Soul is not a complete soul, nor is it a whole life form, just a segment of living memory used to carry experience and part of the emotions.

To make a complete soul survive, it’s very difficult.

Even Netherworld’s Ghost Kings, or the Ghost Gods, need to rely on the reincarnation system of the Netherworld to achieve that, only a true Yin Spirit can be almost immortal.

But, to make a strand of Split Soul last long, that’s too easy.

Ao Wanhai’s face revealed a faint smile again, his eyes showing indifference and helplessness.

"Child, I am merely a strand of Split Soul, an incomplete memory fragment, an incomplete life."

"Even so, over ten thousand years of sleep and waiting, I still feel lonely and saddened."

"After reaching you, my mission is complete. Once the last breath in my heart is exhaled, I feel a bit weary and just want to sleep without waking up."

Lu Wenwu raised his head with a complex expression.

His lips moved slightly, but he never managed to speak the words lodged in his mouth.

Facing such an "elder" resigned to die, the questions he wanted to ask earlier suddenly seemed indifferent.

Think about it.

The Celestial Fire Demon God only sat imprisoned in a Little World for a few thousand years, even with things to pass the time, felt lonely enough to want to commit suicide for relief.

While this strand of Ao Wanhai’s Residual Soul has been here for a full eleven thousand years.

The Old Dragon Emperor chuckled, his eyes revealing a kindness completely at odds with his appearance: "I can see that you seem to really need a teacher’s guidance? For a Loose Cultivator to come this far is indeed not easy."

Lu Wenwu bowed his head in silence, unsure of how to respond.

He indeed wanted such guidance.

But it just seemed a bit...

"One hundred sixty-seven days, nine hours, and three quarters is the total time I naturally dissipate without deliberately sustaining it with the power of the Dragon Mansion." Ao Wanhai suddenly spoke, "In cultivation, you have already walked your own path. But in battle, I think... you may need some of an old dragon’s experience."

Lu Wenwu suddenly looked up, his eyes extremely complex.

He did not understand why.

Under no circumstances of any benefits exchange, there would be someone willing to selflessly give to a stranger they just met?

Is it really just because of the so-called bond of Bloodline, for the sake of inheritance?

He looked toward Ao Wanhai.

In the eyes of this old dragon of countless years, he saw only deep exhaustion, but also comfort and excitement.

The Eye of True Sight also did not give any peculiar analysis.

The counterpart, was sincere.

"I don’t understand, why?" Lu Wenwu quietly asked, "You have already given me so much, yet I’ve given nothing substantial in return, which already makes me feel undeserving. But why do you still... still... this doesn’t bring you any benefit."

"Why? Hahahahaha... you, kid, really are... hahahaha..."

The Old Dragon Emperor suddenly laughed heartily, laughing so hard he was bending backward and forward, struggling to catch his breath.

Only after a long time did his laughter gradually cease.

"I’ve grown to like you more and more, truly. If this were ten thousand years ago, I would definitely establish you as the Crown Prince. Anyway, I have no sons, and that bunch of old guys isn’t as good at fighting as I am, haha!"

The Old Dragon Emperor said happily, once again giving Lu Wenwu’s back a firm pat, winking playfully at him.

"Not understanding why? Haha, it’s fine not to understand, one day you will. Not everything you do requires others to provide benefits. Kid, come to understand it yourself, hehe!"

Lu Wenwu found himself both crying and laughing at this childish gesture, and the slight knot of frustration in his heart silently dissipated.

Well then...

For whatever reason, the elder’s gift cannot be refused.

He would accept it.

If the other side truly harbored any schemes...

Lu Wenwu touched the Netherworld Pardon Order at his waist, feeling much reassured.

The weight of Yama’s direct intervention can’t be less valuable than Tiding, right?

And then there’s the Life and Death Talisman...

Wait, the Life and Death Talisman?

Lu Wenwu suddenly remembered, it seemed it’s been a while since he heard the Celestial Fire Demon God speak.

That guy had been directly subdued unconscious under pressure before, has he not woken up yet?

"Are you worried about that little tiger soul?" The Old Dragon Emperor casually asked, "I suppressed him; our family’s matters shouldn’t be understood by outsiders. Before I disappear, he won’t wake up. But don’t worry, there’s no life-threatening danger."
