Chapter 566 - 256: Purgatory Great Wall, Return of the Dragon Emperor (Part 2)

No wonder...

No wonder the Dragon Race can have such a large reserve of Spirit Stones, even the leftover bits are of astronomical levels.

This terrifying amount, they must have robbed all the spirit veins from the entire seabed!

When he first arrived, Lu Wenwu was still puzzled as to why there were so few Demon Cultivators in such a vast sea.

Not to mention the Nascent Soul Stage, he hadn’t even seen those in the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

Case solved now.

Before leaving, the Dragon Race probably packed up all the seabed spirit veins.

Apart from the scraps left behind and the newly born spirit veins over these ten thousand years, all the spirit veins should be within this Dragon Mansion.

Without resources, you can’t even have a collective market Demon Cultivator!

Earlier, Lu Wenwu was still wondering if relying only on the "Spirit Vein Array" to support billions, even tens of billions of clansmen was a bit too little.

Oh, turns out the external rumors were wrong!

The big reserves are hidden underneath!

These thousands of spirit veins might be enough to fill the entire outer mansion’s underground...

If the massive quantity of spirit veins was just shocking to Lu Wenwu, then the characteristic of the [Purgatory Great Wall] made him feel a bit horrified.

The war mode that requires permanent consumption of spirit veins showcases the true power of this war Immortal Artifact of the Dragon Mansion!

What kind of enemy requires such a terrifying thing?

The Old Dragon Emperor previously mentioned that the ancestors summoned the Dragon Race to lead the clans to the Immortal Realm for battle, so why didn’t they take this massive weapon?

The more Lu Wenwu thought about it, the more he felt horrified.

It is known that this is a function requiring absolute privilege to activate, and this Dragon Mansion was crafted by the Dragon Ancestor, infused with a wisp of the Dragon Race’s Immortal Soul.

So that means, unless the Dragon Ancestor agrees, even the current Dragon Emperor controlling the Dragon Mansion doesn’t have the absolute control to activate the Purgatory Great Wall.

And now, with just a bit of perception, Lu Wenwu realized...

He has this ability!

The Immortal Soul of the Dragon Ancestor is gone!

In other words, the Dragon Ancestor has already fallen!

The shattered Dragon Ancestor statue on the outermost perimeter and the disappearance of "spirit" from the three Immortal Artifacts is the best proof!

The Dragon Ancestor couldn’t even inform his descendants about the power of the Dragon Mansion before he fell.

This led to successive Dragon Emperors being completely unaware of the true strength of the Dragon Mansion—at least, it wasn’t mentioned in the operation manual given by the Old Dragon Emperor.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenwu was already a bit drenched in sweat.

Combined with the last advice from the Old Dragon Emperor to quickly leave after his work was done, it is highly likely that this wisp of the split soul has already guessed part of the truth.

The great war belonging to the Immortal Realm’s Great Thousand Worlds is likely not over yet!

It might even be... collapsing!

After a moment of silence, Lu Wenwu’s tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

Damn it, why should a mere Little Karami who can’t even defeat an Ascension or a Loose Immortal worry about such matters?

If the sky falls, there’s someone taller to hold it up. Even if the Great Thousand Worlds war is still ongoing, aren’t there still Immortals to hold the line?

From the peacefulness of this Cultivation World, at least the Immortal Realm hasn’t lost yet.

If even the Immortals were defeated, it’s like saying that when the True Demon attacks, he can win with just a mere war Immortal Artifact, which the Immortal Realm also possesses.

At worst, he would forcibly retreat home, test his gap with the Dragon Knight, and then start another round.

Considering this kind of war, which is likely mainstream only for Ascension God Powerhouses, is a bit unnecessary worry.

Right now, the most important thing is to quickly complete his main mission.

To go to a Little World with only coordinates, he needs to first use the Decryption Shuttle to break through the World Barrier, and then use a temporary Cross-Realm Teleportation Array to jump.

Without considering building a stable Teleportation Array with cooperation, going back and forth requires at least four World-Breaking Shuttles and two temporary Cross-Realm Teleportation Arrays.

If considering the safety hazard with spare backups, the required number would double again.

Need to get some precious materials.

Half a year...

Hopefully, the auction at Celestial Secret City hasn’t started yet.

The first stop will be there.

After deciding, Lu Wenwu instantly appeared in the ocean, orientated himself, and dashed through the water.

The Dragon Mansion has been put away by him, and the Life and Death Talisman reappeared on him.

His target is not the Southeast Coast where he submerged but directly north.

Lu Wenwu is still in a wanted state; traveling on the ground is too troublesome.

He intends to loop around and land from the northeast direction of the continent, heading straight for Celestial Secret City.

Now transformed into a True Dragon, his speed in harnessing the ocean to move isn’t much slower than his swift flying through the sky, while also saving much energy—so why not?

This time, on his way to Celestial Secret City, besides looking for precious materials for crafting World-Breaking Jump artifacts, Lu Wenwu also wants to buy a batch of Ordinary materials.

The Dragon Mansion’s library contains puppet-making methods for many classic Dragon Palace characters like [Shrimp Soldiers], [Crab Generals], [Turtle Ministers], [Clam Maidens]...

These include battle soldiers for external warfare and eunuchs for various services.

Lu Wenwu doesn’t need battle soldiers.

He doesn’t have large-scale war needs, usually starting with a dog, relying on Equipment explosions.

The functional puppets used for various services are quite good, needing a large batch for managing the Dragon Mansion daily.

For example, the [Fish Farmer] specialized in tending to spiritual objects, the [Crab Digger] for mining minerals, the [Turtle Minister] as a butler, and the [Clam Maiden] who can play music and serve tea, are all excellent helpers.

The area of the Dragon Mansion is simply too vast.

If Lu Wenwu were to clean and tidy up everything left inside by himself, he’d be exhausted.

He’s even considering whether to set up a robot assembly line when he returns, as building a robot factory like Cyberstan isn’t hard.

Otherwise, the engineering workload is enormous, truly giving him a headache.

Hmm...

Your massive robot assembly is just for cleaning, definitely not for war needs, you must believe me!

As for some functions that can’t be detailed and have rather strange uses, the Dragon Palace doesn’t have them.

It’s not that they can’t be made technically, but mainly there’s no demand Space.

Not even a little.

Each member of the True Dragon Race is a diamond-rich, glamorous high-society figure, do they need such things?

Who would play fake when you can play with real?

At their level, what can’t they play as they desire?

Look at Lu Wenwu’s experience; you’ll understand.

With the status of the True Dragon Race, if you declare an intention to contribute to the grand goal of Dragon Race revival within the day, shortly, an army would form at the Dragon Palace entrance, possibly even fighting over their places in line...

On the way to Celestial Secret City, the Celestial Fire Demon God’s tone towards Lu Wenwu had clearly become more respectful and humble.

Neither he nor Mao Mao knew the secrets inside the Dragon Race or the Immortal Realm’s war that even impacted the Immortal Realm.

After listening to Mao Mao’s filter-laden descriptions and his brain overdrive imagination, now in the Celestial Fire Demon God’s view, everything transformed into another narrative:

Lu Wenwu, bearing the bloodline of the Dragon Race, barged into the Dragon Palace and was recognized by the world’s last True Dragon, enabling him to transform into a True Dragon body, ruling the sea as the new Dragon Emperor, with the old Dragon Emperor guiding his contented ascension to the Immortal Realm half a year later.

This seems reasonable.

Also very Cultivation.

Just not very logical—because the problem with the disappearance of the clans and Dragon Race wasn’t explained.

But the Celestial Fire Demon God didn’t concern himself with this.

In his view, this can’t even be considered an issue, entirely ignorable.

In the Cultivation Realm, anything is possible; Mao Mao didn’t tell him the details probably because it involves Dragon Race secrets, unworthy for outsiders, not even known to the Divine Beast Huo Dou.

Reasonable, extremely reasonable!

After summarizing, generalizing, and understanding, the Celestial Fire Demon God arrived at a new conclusion.

His big backer got even stronger!

Now, it’s absurdly thick!

He’s truly latched onto the contemporary Dragon Emperor’s thigh!

Me, Celestial Fire, the top (crossed out) second-ranked underling of the contemporary Dragon Emperor, bringing glory to my ancestors, let everyone know!
