Chapter 1404: Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill (Second update, requesting everything)

Li Zhangsheng was just thinking about using the Ancestral Dragon Crown to exchange for some benefits, and this was a perfect opportunity to probe, especially since the Four Seas Dragon Kings were not aware of his true background.

To the Dragon Clan, the Ancestral Dragon Crown is extremely important, much like the Imperial Jade Seal of a human kingdom—no, it should be even more important than the Imperial Jade Seal, after all, the Ancestral Dragon Crown is vital to the Dragon Clan.

Once in control of the Ancestral Dragon Crown, one can not only secure more say for the Dragon Clan but also use it to create more pure-blooded dragons; as long as one is willing to pay the price, one could even create several top-tier dragons such as Five-Clawed Golden Dragons, Ying Dragons, or Azure Dragons.

Compared to the significance of the Ancestral Dragon Crown and its ability to create pure-blooded dragons, the crown's powerful defensive capabilities can only take a backseat.

For the Dragon Clan, the Ancestral Dragon Crown can be said to be one of the top treasures.

The reason the East Sea Dragon Clan could become the head of the Four Seas, besides the East Sea being more prosperous, is that the Ancestral Dragon Crown also contributed quite a bit; otherwise, how would the East Sea Dragon Clan have so many top-tier dragons, unlike the other three sea dragon clans which basically only have two or three?

Before this, Li Zhangsheng had contacted Wendi and Wudi.

Both are veteran Emperors with extremely rich experience; perhaps they might know something.

Unfortunately, their knowledge was limited and of no help to Li Zhangsheng. As for whether they were hiding anything, Li Zhangsheng did not think they would do so, after all, they didn't even have top-tier Divine Beasts, let alone a unique-type Divine Beast.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng took out a precious mirror and began to communicate remotely with the North Sea Dragon King, with whom he had a closer relationship.

This precious mirror came from the East Sea Dragon Clan's treasury and is a special type of Strange Treasure close to the level of a World Wonder. It has no offensive or defensive capabilities and can only serve as a tool for communication; as long as one is within the Fairy World, one can conduct remote "video and voice" contact.

The drawback is that the other party must have a similar tool, otherwise, contact cannot be made.

Without waiting long, the image of the North Sea Dragon King appeared in the mirror.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the North Sea Dragon King immediately asked, "His Majesty King Wansheng, I am very busy right now, is there something?"

The North Sea Dragon King was also feeling depressed; how much time had passed, and Li Zhangsheng had contacted him time and again. If it were normal times, it would be fine, but now he was busy receiving the territory ceded to him by the East Sea.

"Your Majesty the North Sea Dragon King, look at what this is."

Li Zhangsheng did not hide anything and took out the Ancestral Dragon Crown directly.

As soon as the North Sea Dragon King saw the Ancestral Dragon Crown, his Longyan immediately went fixed, and his breathing became a bit more rapid than before.

Judging from the North Sea Dragon King's demeanor, the Ancestral Dragon Crown could be said to be quite important to him; otherwise, how would such an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years easily reveal his emotions?

"His Majesty King Wansheng, the Ancestral Dragon Crown is the heritage treasure of the Four Seas Dragon Clan; could you please hand it over to this little dragon?"

In order to obtain the Ancestral Dragon Crown, the North Sea Dragon King took the initiative to lower his posture.

"It is possible, but you also know that this is a war trophy I seized together with His Majesties Wendi and Wudi. I must obtain their consent. In a while, I still have to discuss it with the other three Dragon Kings."

Li Zhangsheng was spouting nonsense; Wendi and Wudi had directly handed the transaction Authority to him, letting him handle it entirely, only needing to confirm with them during the transaction.

However, the North Sea Dragon King did not know that.

The North Sea Dragon King could hear the subtext in Li Zhangsheng's words, which was nothing more than needing him to pay a sufficient price.

The other three Dragon Kings in Li Zhangsheng's words actually included Ao Sen; this was completely a rhythm of holding out for a higher price, where the highest bidder wins.

The North Sea Dragon King took a deep breath and said, "What do you need? As long as it is something my North Sea has, I will certainly try my best to satisfy you."

"Do you have any Great Dao Crystals?"

"I do, I have a secondary one here."

The North Sea Dragon King nodded hurriedly; although a Secondary Great Dao Crystal is precious, how could it compare to the Ancestral Dragon Crown?

Li Zhangsheng shrugged, "How are the three of us supposed to split one Secondary Great Dao Crystal? Three would be about right."

The North Sea Dragon King said shamelessly, "This little dragon truly cannot produce that many. I wonder if other treasures could be used as a substitute?"

"This still needs to be discussed with my two brothers. By the way, the other three Dragon Kings might be able to meet the requirements. I will discuss it with them in a while."

"Wait, this little dragon has a Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill here. This is a special super-grade Alchemical Pill that can significantly increase the effect of breakthrough-type treasures."

Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred. Judging from the name, the Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill was either refined by the Ancestral Dragon or its main ingredients came from the Ancestral Dragon.

"But even if it is significantly increased, if paired with a Secondary Great Dao Crystal, it still cannot compare to the effect of a genuine Great Dao Crystal. To be honest, I feel its value is not as good as a Secondary Great Dao Crystal."

From a probability perspective, Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill + Secondary Great Dao Crystal only increases the breakthrough probability by 45%.

"You can't say it like that. You could pair it with a genuine Great Dao Crystal, wouldn't the effect be even better? It could at least be on par with a Secondary Great Dao Crystal, right?"

"That is on the premise that I possess a genuine Great Dao Crystal."

Li Zhangsheng was also very strange; he didn't know why, but every time he obtained one, it was a Secondary Great Dao Crystal, and he had yet to even catch a glimpse of a genuine one.

Clearly, the quantity of genuine Great Dao Crystals is far lower than the secondary ones.

However, Li Zhangsheng possessed a Nine-Turn Golden Pill. If paired with the Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill, plus the breakthrough probability inherent to the Demon Pet, he could almost steadily break through to the Demon Emperor rank.

Just as the North Sea Dragon King was pondering how to persuade Li Zhangsheng, Li Zhangsheng asked as if casually, "By the way, speaking of the Ancestral Dragon, I have a question. Your Dragon Clan clearly possesses the Ancestral Dragon Crown; logically speaking, as long as you gather enough, you should definitely have Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood. Why not let the Ancestral Dragon reappear?"

Because he was still racking his brains to obtain the Ancestral Dragon Crown, and this question didn't seem to have any need for concealment, the North Sea Dragon King answered nonchalantly: "It's not that we don't want to, but we can't. The Ancestral Dragon Crown can indeed purify Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, but even if there is a lot of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, it is useless. The East Sea Dragon King who held the Ancestral Dragon Crown in the past tried it several times, but every time it ended in failure."

"The East Sea Dragon King tried it; even if it failed, was there no change at all?"

The North Sea Dragon King still didn't pay much attention, but he wasn't vigilant either, saying, "How could there not be? The number of his claws and toes increased, but it could only reach eight at most, and after a few years, it would degenerate back to five. Those absorbed Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood seemed to disappear into thin air. At the time, he even specifically called us over to discuss countermeasures."

"Then did you find the reason?"

The North Sea Dragon King did not answer immediately, but looked deeply at Li Zhangsheng and said, "At the time, we didn't find the reason and had to visit our ancestor together. We did find the key to the problem, but this is a secret of the Dragon Clan; why are you asking this?"

"Just curious. As the protagonists of heaven and earth, our human race has given birth to many brilliant and talented people over so many years. Not to mention those who possess top-tier Divine Beast Demon Pets, but there hasn't been a single great Monster Tamer who possesses a unique-type Divine Beast. I just find it very strange; what is the reason for this?"

Li Zhangsheng brought out the reason he had prepared in advance, looking like a curious child.

The North Sea Dragon King hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to answer.

Firstly, he wanted to continue cultivating his relationship with Li Zhangsheng to further secure the Ancestral Dragon Crown, and secondly, he felt the conditions were too harsh, so it wouldn't matter even if he spoke of it; after all, over so many years, even if their Dragon Clan tried every possible method, they could not make the Ancestral Dragon reappear.
