Chapter 1405: Heaven and Earth Status, World Origin (First update, requesting all)

In the view of the North Sea Dragon King, things that their entire Dragon Clan could not accomplish with their combined strength were even more impossible for Li Zhangsheng.

Taking a step back, even if Li Zhangsheng could do it, he would not be at a loss.

"Our ancestor has specifically studied this. As the only remaining type of Divine Beast among the Dragon Clan, he compared himself with us ordinary pure-blooded dragons and finally arrived at an answer, though he is not sure if it is correct."

The North Sea Dragon King seemed to fall into memory. After a pause, he continued: "According to what the ancestor described, the reason the Ancestral Dragon cannot reappear is that it lacks something called Heaven and Earth Status. This thing should be related to the Heavenly Dao and will likely consume the power of the Heavenly Dao; otherwise, the unique Divine Beasts that fell in the past would have long since reappeared."

Heaven and Earth Status!

Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment. Unfortunately, there was no introduction to Heaven and Earth Status in his memories.

"What does Heaven and Earth Status look like?"

"I am not very clear about this either. I only know it is invisible and intangible. Hmm, I didn't hear the whole thing at the time. Wait a moment, I will go ask the other two Dragon Kings. If that doesn't work, I will find the ancestor; they might know."

After finishing speaking, the North Sea Dragon King immediately went offline—ahem, his image immediately disappeared from the precious mirror.

For the sake of the Ancestral Dragon Crown, he was willing to set aside his status and pride.

Li Zhangsheng waited quietly, taking the opportunity to continue familiarizing himself with the River Chart and Luo Scroll. He had gained a further understanding of the functions of the River Chart and Luo Scroll, and his confidence in dealing with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array was a few points higher than before; he would enter the Star Palace again in a few days.

This wait lasted until nightfall. Li Zhangsheng withdrew the River Chart and Luo Scroll, as the North Sea Dragon King had replied.

As Li Zhangsheng moved his mind, the image of the North Sea Dragon King appeared on the precious mirror once again.

"The other two Dragon Kings are also unclear. I had to pay a huge price to seek help from the ancestor and obtained some information from him that might be helpful to you. To obtain Heaven and Earth Status, one must obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. As for how to obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, we do not know, and I fear it is very difficult to do. At the very least, our Dragon Clan has spent so many years bringing clouds and rain, accumulating countless merits, yet we have never obtained Heaven and Earth Status. According to our speculation, the Heavenly Dao is currently going all out to resist the invasion of the Abyss and will likely no longer issue Heaven and Earth Status."

The North Sea Dragon King showed a pained expression. The ancestor he spoke of was likely the Candle Dragon. As for the price, it was unclear; perhaps nothing was paid at all.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and tentatively asked: "Then are there any other methods? For example, the corpse of a unique Divine Beast?"

"That method won't work! According to the ancestor, after a unique Divine Beast dies, the Heaven and Earth Status will dissipate on its own; it should have been taken back by the Heavenly Dao."

This wouldn't work, and that wouldn't work; Li Zhangsheng suddenly felt troubled.

"Then what about the composition of Heaven and Earth Status?"

With the Ancestral Dragon having fallen and the Dragon Clan still possessing the Candle Dragon, Li Zhangsheng felt that the Dragon Clan should be the group that best understood the origin of Heaven and Earth Status. In this regard, the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan certainly could not compare. If one had to blame someone, it was that the Dragon Clan was uniquely gifted, possessing two unique Divine Beasts.

"The ancestor believes that Heaven and Earth Status should be composed of World Origin!"

"How can one obtain World Origin? And how does World Origin condense into Heaven and Earth Status?"

"World Origin should be related to World Power; it might be an advanced version of World Power. To obtain World Origin, the simplest method should be to plunder it after a world collapses, but this is too dangerous; even our ancestor is not confident. As for how it forms Heaven and Earth Status, this little dragon has also asked, but the ancestor does not know either."

"Additionally, these are all one-sided speculations. It is best not to attempt it without certainty, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable."

"Then many thanks to the Dragon King!"

Li Zhangsheng asked a few more related questions, but the North Sea Dragon King either did not know or gave only general answers.

The North Sea Dragon King shamelessly asked: "Then the Ancestral Dragon Crown..."

"You gave too little. If you add some more at your discretion, I will naturally strive to persuade my two brothers. What do you think?"

"What do you want?"

"The Ancestral Dragon Pearl."

As the most essential existence of the Ancestral Dragon, Li Zhangsheng felt that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl might still retain the so-called World Origin, which would allow him to study what connection existed between World Power and World Origin, and whether World Power could condense into World Origin.

"His Majesty Wansheng, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is also our Dragon Clan's treasure; please do not set your sights on it."

"What about the flesh and blood of the Ancestral Dragon?"

The flesh and blood of the Ancestral Dragon might also contain clues and have research value.

The North Sea Dragon King was a bit annoyed: "How can one ask the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon for the flesh and blood of their ancestor? Let us not speak of this matter."

"Apologies, apologies, I forgot for a moment."

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly apologized sincerely. Because he was too preoccupied with Heaven and Earth Status, he had forgotten that the North Sea Dragon King was a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon.

"By the way, what about the flesh and blood of Lin Zu?"

Li Zhangsheng suddenly thought that during the Three Clans War, besides the Ancestral Dragon, Lin Zu had also fallen. If nothing went wrong, its corpse should still be with the Qilin Clan, but the Dragon Clan might also have some of Lin Zu's flesh and blood.

"We actually do have this. I remember the ancestor has a forelimb bone of Lin Zu."

"How about this: Secondary Great Dao Crystal + Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill + Lin Zu's forelimb bone, plus five underage pure-blooded dragons. I believe my two brothers will agree. What do you think?"

"You are asking for too much. The others are fine, but there are only a few dozen pure-blooded dragons in the entire North Sea, and there are fewer than ten underage ones. You are asking for more than half directly; you are simply digging up the roots of the North Sea Dragon Clan. Please forgive me for not being able to agree."

"Dragon King, you have to think about it this way: with the Ancestral Dragon Crown, pure-blooded dragons can be created continuously in the future, so why quibble over five underage pure-blooded dragons?"

Although the Ancestral Dragon Crown could continuously create pure-blooded dragons, the natural recovery of the Bloodline Imprint was very slow. The Dragon Clan likely did not have Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to speed up the recovery of the Bloodline Imprint, or at the very least, it was far inferior to the spiritual herbs Li Zhangsheng planted.

For the first time, Li Zhangsheng felt that Cai Yangqian's development technology was truly awesome; he had actually innovated these spiritual herbs, which were simply the best supplements for purifying Spirit Essence.

"But five is still too many!"

The North Sea Dragon King was clearly hesitant.

Li Zhangsheng immediately pressed his advantage and began to haggle with the North Sea Dragon King. In the end, the North Sea Dragon King insisted that he would pay at most three underage pure-blooded dragons, and no matter how Li Zhangsheng persuaded him, he would not budge.

"Fine, I will contact my two brothers now and give you an answer in a while!"

Li Zhangsheng closed the connection. He did indeed contact Wendi and Wudi and stated the North Sea Dragon King's bargaining chips.

Upon hearing there was a Secondary Great Dao Crystal and a Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill, Wendi and Wudi agreed without hesitation.

To avoid suspicion, Li Zhangsheng hoped that the three of them would go to the North Sea together to trade, and the two did not refuse, both agreeing.

Late that night, the three gathered in the North Sea and completed the transaction with the North Sea Dragon King.

The three underage dragons handed over by the North Sea Dragon King were all, without exception, Sizhua Dragon Clan.

Wendi obtained the Secondary Great Dao Crystal, Wudi obtained the Zu Long Void-Breaking Pill and one underage pure-blooded dragon, and Li Zhangsheng obtained the forelimb bone of Lin Zu and two underage pure-blooded dragons.

However, Wendi and Wudi felt that Li Zhangsheng was at a disadvantage and additionally compensated Li Zhangsheng with a portion of Thunder Origin and Water Attribute.

As for why they did not use them, that was not something Li Zhangsheng could know.

This time, the three did not separate immediately and began to head toward the territories ruled by Wendi and Wudi to eliminate the Demon Monarch and other major forces within their borders.
