Chapter 1849 - 179: An Existence Equal to the Gods!

In front of Celestial Palace City.

Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze from the distance, letting it fall on the panicked Great Snow Dragon Horses atop the mountain.

These dragon horses, entirely snow-white and extraordinarily divine, are unique beasts to Great Snow Mountain of the Beiman, the most precious wealth of the Beiman.

Every Great Snow Dragon Horse is an invaluable treasure.

Eight thousand Great Snow Dragon Horses also constitute the strongest force of the Beiman.

Especially on this day when the North Barbarian State Preceptor, King Zhuanlun, has died.

Jiang Ning looked at these Great Snow Dragon Horses, his thoughts rapidly flashing through his mind.

Although King Zhuanlun has died, the Great Snow Mountain God behind him still lives.

Earlier, that God communicated with him from thousands of miles away, with a gentle demeanor, addressing him as a young friend, even openly admitting might not be able to deal with him.

But he knew clearly in his heart that the God who survived the great catastrophe of heaven and earth and has endured countless ages to persist until now is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

And these Great Snow Dragon Horses are exotic beasts from Great Snow Mountain.

These Beiman martial artists are also devoted followers of the Great Snow Mountain God.

He was considering that if he were to slaughter all these Great Snow Dragon Horses, it would surely provoke that God.

Even though the God said might not be able to deal with him, having an enemy hidden for unknown ages is not a wise move.

Moreover, although these Great Snow Dragon Horses are precious to the Beiman, they hold little value for him.

He has no ambition to conquer the world.

The only slight value of these Great Snow Dragon Horses to him is their flesh, which once consumed, could slightly increase his source points and Qi Blood Power.

As exotic beasts, their flesh contains powerful energy.

But these enhancements are mere drops in the ocean to him.

Briefly pondering, he made his decision.

Though the Northern Barbarian Grassland is barren, it’s vast beyond imagination.

The vast land harbors countless rare minerals and spiritual objects.

Due to the sparse population of the Beiman, these countless rare minerals and spiritual objects remain largely unused, thus every year merchants travel between the Northern Barbarian Grassland and Great Xia, transporting the rare minerals and spiritual objects from the grassland to Great Xia for sale.

And those heavenly materials and earth treasures are exactly what he currently needs most.

He glanced at the panel.

[Source Points]: 433.3

Both the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill and Spirit Platform Illuminati True Self Technique have reached nine times limit-breaking perfection.

The next breakthrough requires source points: one thousand for one and five hundred for the other, totaling fifteen hundred.

The heavenly materials and earth treasures of Celestial Palace City have been largely looted by him, Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King mentioned they couldn’t provide more.

He knew, though, that having absolutely none is impossible.

But those hidden cultivation auxiliary resources are no longer crucial to him.

His current requirement isn’t just a small amount but something massive that can bring him a slight increase.

At this stage, every step forward requires exponentially multiplied resources.

To quickly acquire more source points for increasing strength, undoubtedly, he can only start with the Beiman.

"King Zhuanlun is dead, the Beiman army is leaderless, these Great Snow Dragon Horses are my negotiating chips with the Northern Barbarian Royal Court." Jiang Ning thought to himself, "Preserving their lives in exchange for resources not only maintains dignity with the Great Snow Mountain God but also propels me further; it’s a win-win situation."

With this in mind, he decisively made his resolution.

The next moment, he turned his gaze towards the figures of Prince Zhenbei Xu Zhen and Beicang King atop the city wall.

"Brother Xu, Brother Beicang, please come here for a talk."

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it clearly reached their ears.

Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King exchanged glances, immediately leaping down from the city wall, arriving before Jiang Ning with a few bounds, and saluted with cupped hands.

"What are your orders, Prince?" Prince Zhenbei Xu Zhen clasped his fists and said.

Jiang Ning turned his gaze towards the distant panicked Great Snow Dragon Horses, speaking slowly: "North Barbarian State Preceptor King Zhuanlun is dead, the Beiman army is now leaderless, but those Great Snow Dragon Horses belong to the spirit beasts of the Great Snow Mountain God. If we were to slaughter them all, it would surely anger the God, making the situation more complicated."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King both appeared serious.

The Great Snow Mountain God, they are familiar with this ancient God from guarding the northern gateway of Great Xia for years.

It’s a God that has persisted through countless ages to this day.

Jiang Ning continued: "Therefore, temporarily preserve the lives of these eight thousand Great Snow Dragon Horses."

Prince Zhenbei Xu Zhen was slightly startled: "The Prince’s intention is not to kill them?"

"Not to kill." Jiang Ning shook his head: "But also not to release them for free. You both send someone to notify the Northern Barbarian Royal Court that if they want the Great Snow Dragon Horses to live, they must redeem them with heavenly materials, cultivation resources, and various rare minerals."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King understood.

Jiang Ning’s looting of heavenly materials and earth treasures in Celestial Palace City in recent days passed through their hands.

Naturally, they were aware that Jiang Ning’s prowess has extraordinary mystical attributes, the terrifying devouring and refining power being one of the factors.

Now, it’s apparent that Jiang Ning’s sights are set on the treasure vault of the Northern Barbarian Royal Court.

Having guarded the northern gateway of Great Xia for years, they are well aware of what these eight thousand Great Snow Dragon Horses represent.

The reason the Northern Barbarian Royal Court can dominate the entire Beiman among the eighteen Golden Families, suppressing all opposing voices, is mainly due to the Royal Court’s Great Snow Dragon Horses.

As far as they know, in the Northern Barbarian Royal Court, the number of Great Snow Dragon Horses doesn’t exceed ten thousand.

They estimate that the Northern Barbarian Royal Court has approximately nine thousand Great Snow Dragon Horses.
