Chapter 380: Plundering the Dragon Palace!

Just how wealthy is the True Dragon Clan?

Many know the True Dragons are rich; after all, they are the noble scions of Heaven and Earth, with a long history, and with a True Lord presiding, they could hardly be poor.

But just how rich exactly?

In this regard, the True Dragon Clan has always concealed things tightly, never leaking any news; yet today, Lu Yang witnessed it with his own eyes.

Walking into the treasure vault.

To Lu Yang's surprise, the vault itself was actually not large; it was just a small room, containing a desk and two bookshelves on the left and right.

Then Lu Yang was left staring in shock.

He saw it more clearly than anyone: the desk and bookshelves were all wooden, and upon them flowed the aura of Immortal Spirit that Lu Yang knew all too well!

'These are the stillborn of Immortal Spirits? Unable to be cultivated, unable to successfully emerge, finally dying suddenly like this. This desk, these bookshelves, are all 【Jia Wood】? Yes! All crafted based on the stillborn of a 【Jia Wood】 Immortal Spirit!'

Extravagant to the point of absurdity!

Spiritual materials of this level are enough to craft a supreme-grade spiritual treasure, or even directly used as Cheng Tian Gang or Earth Sha to refine; there is more than enough!

Yet even so, its only function here is to hold things.

Lu Yang shifted his gaze to look at the items on the desk and bookshelves; on the desk sat a Daoist scripture, along with brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, the four treasures of the study.

On the two bookshelves, three items were placed on each.

On the left bookshelf sat a teapot, a seal, and a jade stone with seven orifices. On the right bookshelf sat a small box, a crystal ball, and a beam of Jin Guang, its light rampant and majestic, difficult to look directly at, sealed inside a glass bottle.

"Holy crap!"

Lu Yang might not recognize the other items, but the Jin Guang sealed in the glass bottle he knew all too well; it was actually a Golden Nature!

Lu Yang immediately activated 【Linglong Heart】 to look.

He saw that Golden Nature come into view, suddenly manifesting the image of a white Chi dragon with claws and fangs bared, its huge dragon eyes staring fiercely ahead.

Lu Yang calculated with his fingers, instantly understanding its origin.

'This is... that 【White Chi】!'

The eldest son of the Dragon Lord, the Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace before Tian Qiu, the former seed for seeking gold of the True Dragon Clan, yet was fished out and killed by the Four Great Powers.

"After my elder brother's death, the Dao Sin emerged; Father suppressed it, refined it into a Golden Nature, and has kept it here ever since." Tian Qiu said in a flat tone, "The reason Father cooperated with the Dao Court was not only to find a path for the clan, but also held some hope of reviving my elder brother."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow: "Once the Dao Sin is born, the soul should have long since reincarnated and died completely clean; with just a Golden Nature, how can one be revived?"

"I am not clear on that."

Tian Qiu shook his head: "I only know that Father has spent years of effort creating this Zheng Zheng San Pin True Art, specifically prepared for my elder brother's awakening."

Following Tian Qiu's finger, Lu Yang looked at the Daoist scripture on the desk.

"Heavenly Words, Brilliant Dragon Edict!"

Lu Yang swept with his divine sense, then immediately frowned.

This is a Zheng Zheng San Pin True Art, yet surprisingly, it is not prepared for True Dragons or demon cultivators, but for human-body cultivators.

And not just any human-body cultivator.

"According to Father, joining the Dao Court has pros and cons; the benefit is naturally returning to the mainland, with the Dao Court as backing, able to strengthen the True Dragon Clan."

"The drawback is that joining under the Dao Court's rule, in terms of concept, amounts to lowering one's status; therefore, once accomplished, all future True Dragons will no longer be the noble scions of Heaven and Earth who establish their foundation at adulthood, but will instead become demons with slight talent, causing the clan's potential to drop drastically."

"But there is a method to avoid this drawback."

Speaking here, Tian Qiu subconsciously lowered his voice: "That is rebellion! Find a way to overthrow the Tian Wu Imperial Family, and replace them with the True Dragon Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was instantly stunned.

"... Huh?"

Rebellion under the rule of the Dao Court?

Are you crazy!

"Master does not know." Tian Qiu shook his head, explaining, "The Jiangdong Dao Court differs from the other three Great Powers; it allows rebellion to exist. 'The great trend of the world, after long division comes unity, after long unity comes division.'"

"This is simply 【Heavenly Principle】."

"Before the Tian Wu Imperial Family, there were the Zou Yu Emperor descendants, holding 【City Wall Earth】; how domineering were they? Yet in the end, they were destroyed just like that."

"So Father's idea is that after joining the Dao Court, find the right moment; when the imperial throne changes, let my elder brother's Golden Nature take rebirth, then bestow this 'Heavenly Words, Brilliant Dragon Edict' upon him, let him join the struggle for the imperial throne, with the full support of the True Dragon Clan to seize the great position."

"Such matters... the Dao Lord won't interfere?"

"Of course not!"

Tian Qiu smiled: "What vision does the Dao Lord possess? How could he care about such matters? Moreover, our clan has entered the Dao Court, so we are already within the Dao Lord's system."

"Moreover, Father specially created this 'Heavenly Words, Brilliant Dragon Edict' to make the Dao Lord accept us."

"As a Zheng Zheng San Pin True Art, the fruit position it points to is 【Sky Fire】, the supreme of the Fire element; up until now, no one has successfully proven it."

"If our True Dragon Clan can prove it, and become the imperial family of the Dao Court, it would be equivalent to pulling this fruit position into the Dao Court's official rank system; such a great good deed, how could the Dao Lord refuse? Especially after 【City Wall Earth】 lost the Pure Land, the Dao Court would only be pleased to see it happen!"

"I see..."

Lu Yang finally understood the True Dragon Clan's entire plan; it cannot be denied that from the perspective of whitewashing and coming ashore, this plan is quite perfect.

What he valued even more was:

'This 'Heavenly Words, Brilliant Dragon Edict'... is probably very suitable for me!'

Because when the Dragon Lord created the method, he left a backdoor; according to the imagery of the art, to cultivate this technique, one must be a human body with dragon lineage.

This is not like demons transforming; simply wearing a human skin cannot solve the problem, but requires truly possessing a human body while also holding the True Dragon bloodline status, belonging to a complex and tedious project; even with the Dragon Lord's means, shaping it would probably not be easy.

In other words, do not look at this as just a Zheng Zheng San Pin True Art.

But in fact, no one in the world can currently cultivate this technique; let alone use it to establish a foundation, even entering the Qi Refining stage is impossible.

Yet for Lu Yang, these are not problems.

Because of the Golden Talent, 【True Dragon Bloodline】!

At this moment, Lu Yang perfectly met the cultivation conditions for "Human Body, Dragon Descendant" inside and out; this technique was practically tailor-made for him!

To be honest, if 【True Dragon Bloodline】 were not a talent brought by 【Book of a Hundred Lives】, and 【Heavenly Tongue Kunye Dragon Edict】 were not clearly a scheme of the Dragon Lord from many years ago, he would probably have started suspecting someone was plotting against him by now, after all, this coincidence was simply too great.

'Don't tell me there's another trap.'

Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help but rub his brow, feeling somewhat unsure, so he had to set it aside for the time being and turned his gaze to the other objects stored in the treasure vault.

For instance, the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk besides 【Heavenly Tongue Kunye Dragon Edict】.

The four treasures of the study, at first glance, seemed unremarkable, yet as Lu Yang activated 【Linglong Heart】 to see through the illusions, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Brush: 【Wu Earth】.

Ink: 【Wu Fire】.

Paper: 【Ji Earth】.

Inkstone: 【Wei Earth】.

'【Tianshang Fire】... Damn it, this is the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend corresponding to 【Tianshang Fire】! The Dragon Lord has actually prepared them all for his son!'

For a moment, Lu Yang was so angry his hands trembled.

Is this what it means to be a second-generation immortal?

Recalling how much hardship he had endured to gather the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend back then?

Damn rich bastard! The world has become increasingly corrupt precisely because there are too many such people who climb the ladder effortlessly just by relying on their background.

Oh no, wait, I am a True Dragon now.

In that case, are these actually my property?

Then there's no problem!
