Chapter 1068: Untitled
"What is that over there?"
"It actually possesses the aura of a True Dragon, but this True Dragon aura contains deathly energy; it must be a True Dragon that has already died."
"However, this True Dragon likely wasn't simple while it was alive, for its aura remains so immense even after death."
Su Fan followed several streaks of light to the Jiuzhou side, and then he saw the situation here; the two armies were confronting each other.
One side was clearly the Great Qin, and the other side was Liu Bang's faction.
Su Fan restrained his aura and watched both sides.
However, seeing that Dragon Valley, Su Fan was quite curious; a powerful member of the Dragon Clan had not been buried in the Dragon Clan's dragon tomb, but instead ended up drifting outside.
Su Fan also knew that the corpse of a True Dragon with extraordinary strength was of immense value.
Back then, in the Great Qin World, Su Fan had obtained the dragon valley of a flood dragon, and with the joint efforts of the Mohist School and the Gongshu Family, the White Bone Divine Weapon they forged had earned him illustrious merits.
Relying on that Divine Weapon, Su Fan had slaughtered quite a few cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Placed in the Yuanyang Jie, that would be equivalent to a sixth-tier magic treasure, and since it was primarily for slaughter, it was even more powerful than an average sixth-tier magic treasure.
However, as his cultivation level improved, this magic treasure could no longer keep up, and it had now become one of his collectibles.
It was not that Su Fan did not want to upgrade it, but this White Bone Spear had been forged from the keel of a sixth-tier primordial spirit flood dragon.
Its fundamental nature was truly limited; while sixth-tier was decent, he was now an existence comparable to a Golden Immortal.
The magic treasures he used, if placed in the Main World, were at least eighth-tier; he did not even look at seventh-tier Immortal treasures anymore.
Thus, that White Bone Spear had retired after its success.
He had not expected to encounter the corpse of a True Dragon here today; a True Dragon was not some mere flood dragon.
A flood dragon is merely transformed from a snake or python, and although there is a trace of True Dragon blood in its lineage, the gap between it and the latter is immeasurable.
A True Dragon, especially a True Dragon of this world, is not simple.
In the ancient era, the Dragon Clan was the top-tier race; at its peak, it was likely even more terrifying than the ancient Demon Court.
After all, the Dragon Clan of that time was indeed terrifying, and the strength of the Ancestral Dragon in the ancient era was also not simple.
Although it later suffered the schemes of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, it did not perish when facing Luo Hou.
Even someone as strong as Demon Ancestor Luo Hou only schemed against the Three Clans from behind the scenes rather than facing them head-on; this shows the power of the Three Clans.
And what kind of person was Demon Ancestor Luo Hou? He was a figure who contended with the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor is a Saint of Honghuang, who single-handedly pioneered the Immortal Dao of later generations; one must know that even the Taiqing Saint pioneered the Golden Elixir Great Dao.
It was merely modeled after the Dao Ancestor's Dao.
The Dao Ancestor pioneered the Honghuang Immortal era, making Honghuang even more prosperous.
The Demon Ancestor was in no way inferior to the Dao Ancestor back then.
This also shows from the side how terrifying the Three Clans were at that time.
After all, even though the Ancestral Dragon suffered from Luo Hou's schemes, it did not perish, whereas several Innate Gods and Demons of that time who were on par with the Dao Ancestor had long since died.
The Dragon Clan did not just have the Ancestral Dragon; there was also Zhulong, as well as many Elders of the Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan alone had several Primordial Golden Immortal-level powers, and if one added the aquatic tribes, there were a full ten Primordial Golden Immortals.
During the heyday of the Demon Court, did they have ten Quasi-Saints? In reality, they certainly had ten Quasi-Saints.
But in terms of combat power, the top ones were only the two Demon Emperors, Fuxi, and Demon Master Kunpeng; the remaining Quasi-Saints were mostly at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, though the one from Taiyin Star also had the combat power of a late-stage Quasi-Saint.
However, compared to the Dragon Clan of the ancient era, whether it was the Ancestral Dragon or Zhulong, their power was even above that of the Demon Emperors.
Perhaps only Taiyi, holding the Hun Dun Bell, erupted with power comparable to a Saint at the very end.
The Dragon Clan was powerful and numerous; compared to the Golden Crow Clan, it exceeded them by far.
And that is not even mentioning the descendants of the Dragon Clan's bloodline.
This is why, in the ancient times, the Demon Court wanted to bring the Dragon Clan under its command, even though the Dragon Clan had declined significantly by then due to the Karma of heaven and earth.
But no one dared to underestimate the Dragon Clan; as long as Zhulong was still around, it remained a rare major power in Honghuang.
Furthermore, there were still many Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dragon Clan remaining in the dragon tomb.
Having recuperated for so many years, who knows if any have returned to their peak.
The Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dragon Clan were no worse than the current Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Three Teachings; whether in the Daoist techniques they practiced, their magic treasures, or various secret arts, the Dragon Clan was in no way inferior to the Three Teachings.
Even though the Three Teachings had Saints, the Dragon Clan originated from the ancient era, and the Ancestral Dragon even possessed the Inheritance of the Chaos Demon Gods.
The Inheritance of the Dragon Clan was in no way inferior to the Three Teachings.
More importantly, the dragon bodies of the Dragon Clan were extremely powerful; they cultivated both body and spirit, which might even have some advantages over the Witch Clan.
After all, the Witch Clan does not cultivate the primordial spirit, so they are quite strained in some aspects; at least in terms of magic treasures, although the Witch Clan also has Witch Tools suitable for them, they are still somewhat inferior to the efficacy of Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The Dragon Clan is different; the primordial spirit of the Dragon Clan is the Dragon Pearl they cultivate, which is similar to the Demon Pill of the Demon Clan.
Moreover, the Dragon Pearl of the Dragon Clan has power not inferior to some Innate Spiritual Treasures, and since the Dragon Clan is wealthy, they do not lack spiritual treasures.
Longmu alone had several Innate Spiritual Treasures, and other members of the Dragon Clan would not be too bad off either.
Because they cultivate the dragon body, after a True Dragon dies, its entire body is a supreme treasure; when a whale falls, all things flourish.
A True Dragon has been dead for so long that it is unknown if the Dragon Pearl still exists, but the keel is definitely a top-tier treasure.
Of course, the most precious thing in a dragon corpse is the Dragon Pearl, as it is the essence of a True Dragon's entire life, and even contains the inheritance of its previous life.
It is just that the Dragon Pearl is also quite dangerous; who knows if there might be a remnant soul inside preparing for possession—in this world, possession is also an easy thing to do.
It is just that after cultivating to the Golden Immortal level, few people would choose possession; after all, wouldn't reincarnation of the True Spirit be better?
Of course, if one could discover a creature to possess that had an excellent origin, then it would not be impossible to refine it into an avatar.
It is just that in the current Honghuang Dixian Jie, very few born creatures have origins that can reach the Innate level; only the monkey, because of the Five-Colored Divine Stone, barely reached the level of Innate origin.
Later, after being tempered by the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Old Lord, his origin became even more powerful, and his potential increased by a tiny bit.
Even though the monkey was eventually titled Dou Zhan Sheng Fo by the Buddhist Sect and became a Protector of the Buddhist Sect, it was clear that the monkey later had a closer relationship with the Taoist Sect.
He even took Chenxiang as a disciple; the only one close to the Buddhist Sect was probably Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Clearly, the monkey was also a clever person, knowing that the first half of his life had been almost entirely schemed against by the Buddhist Sect; although he gained benefits later, he likely still had grievances against the Buddhist Sect.
Of course, despite having objections, the monkey clearly could not resist; even if he could reach the Quasi-Saint realm, he would not pose much of a threat to the Buddhist Sect.
