Capítulo 1439: Chapter 1424: The Secret of the Inheritance
According to the Old Tortoise, ninety percent of all the Heritage Mansions, Secret Realms, and treasures related to the Ancient Black Dragon on the True Profound Continent were all artificially created by their Tortoise Slave clan.
It was all to select an heir for their master, the fallen Ancient Black Dragon.
However, their master, the Ancient Black Dragon, has fallen so long ago. According to the Old Tortoise, in their family’s records, it should be at least over a hundred thousand years.
The old tortoise in front of us is already the eleventh generation of Tortoise Slave.
Tortoises may have a long life, but they cannot withstand the passage of ti.
Their ancestors, including the eldest of their lineage, who was the first generation Tortoise Slave after the Ancient Black Dragon’s fall, had quite a high cultivation. According to the records in the clan, the cultivation had surpassed the Realm King Realm and the lifespan was counted in tens of thousands of years.
Yet during the ti of the collapsing heaven and earth, he also suffered serious injuries and barely survived on the True Profound Continent for over a thousand years before dying.
The offspring of the first generation Tortoise Slave, relying on their father’s bloodline and various inherited treasures, pushed their cultivation to the Divine Communication Realm, but after eighteen thousand years, their lifespan was still exhausted.
This is still due to the naturally long lifespan of tortoise-like beasts. Had it been ordinary human clan mbers, cultivation at the Divine Communication Realm might not even last two thousand years.
Since then, the lifespan of Tortoise Slaves has diminished with each generation, and each generation’s lifespan is already less than ten thousand years.
Arriving at this current eleventh generation Tortoise Slave, cultivation reaching the Fifth Stage of Dao Entrance Realm is already at its limit.
Moreover, most crucially, many details about the Ancient Black Dragon have been lost over these generations.
Either due to insufficient cultivation and failed transmissions or losses during oral transfers.
Up till now, this eleventh generation Tortoise Slave only knows a few generalities.
According to the Old Tortoise of the Cold Pool, their eleven generations have been creating various Heritage Mansion Secret Realms, selecting and guiding martial artists to carry on the legacy of the Ancient Black Dragon.
However, it is exceedingly difficult to accomplish.
They themselves do not possess the Ancient Black Dragon’s legacy; the Ancient Black Dragon’s legacy only resides within the physical body imprinted with the cultivation marks of the Ancient Black Dragon’s entire life.
To acquire it is extrely arduous, and all they can do is guide.
According to the Old Tortoise of the Cold Pool, out of the countless Heritage Mansion Secret Realms related to the Black Dragon that appeared over tens of thousands of years, only two places are real.
Those are the Black Dragon Secret Palace within the Black Dragon Ancient Land and the Dragon Island before them.
Everything, including the Black Water Legacy Mansion Ye Zhen experienced earlier and the Black Dragon Eye obtained from it, were crafted by the Tortoise Slave lineage.
That Black Dragon Eye was rely condensed from a drop of Black Dragon Essence Blood by their ancestors.
Sadly, the Black Dragon Legacy, sothing that can only be guided but not inherited, highly depends on fate.
In the span of a hundred thousand years to this day, only eight have comprehended a part of the Black Dragon Legacy.
Too long ago, the Old Tortoise of the Cold Pool cannot rember clearly, and most did not progress further; there have been three in the last twenty thousand years.
Among them, one is the Founding Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire, who, after receiving the Black Dragon Legacy, lost his Martial Arts heart and embarked on the path of conquest, establishing a vast empire, unifying the entire Black Dragon Domain, and proclaiming it as the Black Dragon Empire.
Unfortunately, his descendants could not maintain his realm.
Another one is Jie Tianhe. Speaking of which, the forr Leader of the Dragon Alliance Jie Tianhe’s fortune was manifold better than Ye Zhen’s.
Under guidance, he first obtained part of the Black Dragon Legacy within the Black Dragon Secret Palace, rising to power. Through fortuitous circumstances, he fought his way into the Dragon Alliance, step by step becoming the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, and took control of Dragon Island.
More importantly, this Dragon Island wasn’t an island at all.
It was ford from a dragon claw that plunged into the sea bottom when the Ancient Black Dragon fell, causing a Dragon Island to erge.
This statent astonished Ye Zhen imnsely.
This Dragon Island seems to span a thousand miles across; even with eons’ worth of sedint and seaweed accumulation, its size is astounding.
It seems that rely a single dragon claw is hundreds of miles in size.
For one dragon claw to be hundreds of miles, how large was the True Body of the Ancient Black Dragon?
Due to his cultivation, Jie Tianhe could not obtain the Ancient Black Dragon Legacy contained within Dragon Island’s claw. However, every vein and bone within the dragon claw is akin to a Black Dragon Earth Vein continuously exuding Qi.
Loving this benefit, Jie Tianhe’s cultivation naturally skyrocketed.
The three Supre Elders of Dragon Island are full of Blood Qi, due to this very reason.
Yet even so, the Heavenly Dao of the True Profound Continent is defective, and Jie Tianhe can only remain trapped here.
This is the true form of Dragon Island.
Regarding the Black Dragon Secret Palace long inherited within the Black Dragon Ancient Land, its origins are even more astonishing.
That Black Dragon Secret Palace was ford from half of the body of the Ancient Black Dragon when it fell; after plumting here, it evolved into a Secret Palace from its contained Essence Blood, Heaven and Earth Laws, the yet-to-dissipate power, and its self-transforming Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs.
This truth shocked Ye Zhen even further.
Ye Zhen clearly rembered during his exploration of the Black Dragon Imperial Palace, the countless Supre Attribute Spirit Crystals of various colors piled upon the mountains there.
Those were massive mountain ranges extending beyond sight.
Even the residual power within only half of the semi-preserved body ford those endless Supre Attribute Spirit Crystals—just how powerful was the strength of the Ancient Black Dragon?
To what extent did the Ancient Black Dragon’s level reach?
Regrettably, even the Old Tortoise of the Cold Pool cannot answer this question, with so many mories lost over eleven generations and so much ti spent in slumber.
At least the recognition of a Young Master originates from the rule set by the first generation Tortoise Slave.
The first generation Tortoise Slave did not stay here long during the earth-shattering upheaval before discovering that the Heavenly Dao of this side of the True Profound Continent was flawed.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extrely difficult for an ordinary Martial Artist to break from the Establishnt Realm to the Dao Entrance Realm.
Even if one struggles to break through to the Dao Entrance Realm, progression in cultivation halts. In such a situation, even obtaining a complete Black Dragon Legacy would be utterly useless.
Hence, the ancestor of the Old Tortoise of the Cold Pool, the first generation Tortoise Slave, set down a rule: only those with great fortune who could leave the True Profound Continent or whose cultivation breaks through to the Divine Communication Realm would be recognized as Young Masters.
Only when such a person appears would they as Tortoise Slaves proactively appear.
Ye Zhen is the first human clan mber in a hundred thousand years on the True Profound Continent to leave the True Profound Continent and have their cultivation break through to the Divine Communication Realm.
This is the reason the Tortoise Slave refers to him as the Young Master.
Having learned these reasons, as soon as the Old Tortoise of the Cold Pool slowly finished speaking, Ye Zhen eagerly asked, “Elder Tortoise, since you say this Dragon Island is actually the offshoot dragon claw of the Ancient Black Dragon, and within this dragon claw lies a portion of the Ancient Black Dragon’s legacy.
Then, how do I obtain this portion of the Black Dragon Legacy?”
This is what Ye Zhen most wants to know at this mont.
The sheer power of the Ancient Black Dragon defies description; what Ye Zhen obtained previously as the so-called Black Dragon Legacy was rely a sliver crafted by the Tortoise Slave lineage.
Should Ye Zhen acquire the Black Dragon Legacy within this remains of the dragon claw—just how powerful would he beco?
