ng Anwen sent Shi Xing'an and Liang Yue directly to Xiajing City. Not everyone was qualified to enter the White God Courtyard.
Bai Yiyuan took out the Dragon King’s corpse and tossed it to the ground, "Old ng, see if there's anything useful."
Even in death, the Dragon King radiated imnse pressure. It was equivalent to a human God-level powerhouse—its combat strength formidable enough to kill Lin Moyu with ease. However, Bai Yiyuan was even stronger, which was why he had managed to slay it.
ng Anwen cast a ray of light over the corpse, closed his eyes briefly, then said, "A low-rank Dragon King. Useless to . Take it to Old Tie—he might find so value in it."
Dragon King and Demon King corpses were prized materials for crafting legendary rank equipnt.
Bai Yiyuan had expected this response and swiftly put the corpse away. Then, he revealed the Dragon Crystal, "Then what about this."
ng Anwen examined it, turning it over in his hand, "A Demon King's core, a Dragon King's Dragon Crystal—both can be used to craft legendary rank accessories. Unfortunately, this one is lacking."
Unlike human God-level powerhouses, Dragon Kings weren’t categorized by levels. Instead, they were ranked as low, mid, or high, similar to Demons and Gods.
A low-rank Dragon King was comparable to a level 90–92 human. The one Bai Yiyuan had slain was the weakest among them.
The energy within the Dragon Crystal wasn’t particularly strong, and ng Anwen barely spared it a second glance.
While Dragon Crystals were crucial for crafting legendary rank accessories, they were only one of the primary components. Nurous rare auxiliary materials were also required, making it wasteful to invest them in such a low-rank Dragon Crystal.
Lin Moyu stared at the crystal, a strange feeling creeping over him.
He asked, "Teacher, can I take a look at the Dragon Crystal?"
ng Anwen casually tossed the Dragon Crystal to Lin Moyu, treating it like re trash.
To most, a Dragon Crystal was an invaluable treasure—but to ng Anwen, it was nothing special.
Lin Moyu caught it and imdiately summoned the Genesis Scepter. The damaged Life Core embedded within shimred faintly, its outer shell flickering in and out of existence. A pulse of divine life force leaked from it from ti to ti.
The resemblance between the Life Core and the Dragon Crystal was uncanny.
Bai Yiyuan narrowed his eyes, "They really do look alike."
ng Anwen nodded, "It seems the Life Core has so connection to Dragon Crystals."
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu pressed the Dragon Crystal against the Life Core.
The mont they touched, the Life Core erupted with brilliant light, and the Dragon Crystal shattered with a loud bang—not a single fragnt remained. Every last bit of it had been absorbed.
Lin Moyu, as the master of the Genesis Scepter, imdiately sensed a difference. The Life Core, though still damaged, had slightly recovered.
If its previous damage level had been 80%, it was now around 75%.
ng Anwen’s eyes glead. After a brief pause, he spoke slowly, "It seems the Life Core is made of Dragon Crystals—but not ordinary ones."
Bai Yiyuan frowned, "Could it be a high-rank Dragon King’s Dragon Crystals?"
ng Anwen hesitated, "Possibly… but it could also be a Dragon Emperor’s Dragon Crystal."
Bai Yiyuan was stunned, "No way."
A Dragon Emperor was equivalent to a human Transcendent God-level powerhouse. As far as he knew, no Dragon Emperor existed—just as humanity had yet to produce a true Transcendent God. The strongest individual was rely a half-step Transcendent God-level powerhouses.
ng Anwen said, "Just because there are no Dragon Emperors now doesn’t an there never were."
His gaze turned distant, "I once saw a corpse—a Dragonkind corpse—in the deep layers of the Immorial Battlefield. Even after countless years, it remained intact and radiated imnse power."
"Wait a minute…" Bai Yiyuan suddenly interrupted. His expression shifted.
"A Dragonkind corpse? That, I can understand. Existing for countless years? That too. A high-rank Dragon King’s body can remain intact for millennia. But what do you an by 'radiated imnse power'?"
ng Anwen shot him a glare, "It's very impolite to interrupt others."
Bai Yiyuan gave an awkward smile, "Go on, I’ll shut up."
ng Anwen continued, "Back then, I had just reached God-level. It was my first ti entering the deep layers when I encountered that thing."
"It was clearly dead—nothing more than a corpse—yet it could still move and attack. I barely escaped with my life. And it wasn’t just any Dragonkind—it was undergoing atavism."
His voice carried a weight of lingering fear as he described the encounter in detail.
Of all the life-threatening situations ng Anwen had faced, that one had been the closest call. It was an experience he would never forget.
Lin Moyu felt his hair stand on end.
A corpse that had been dead for millennia… still capable of such power?
Bai Yiyuan frowned, "I’ve been to the deep layer plenty of tis. How co I never ran into that thing?"
ng Anwen chuckled, "Guess you’re just lucky."
That shut Bai Yiyuan up.
ng Anwen continued, "Later, I concluded that it was likely the corpse of a Dragon Emperor. If not, then at least a half-step Dragon Emperor—equivalent to a human half-step Transcendent God, a level 99 being."
Lin Moyu didn’t doubt ng Anwen’s words.
With his vast experience and knowledge, ng Anwen’s judgnt was unlikely to be wrong.
Lin Moyu spoke, "If the Life Core is really made of Dragon Crystal… does that an if I obtain enough Dragon Crystals, I can repair it?"
ng Anwen nodded, "Based on how the Life Core reacted just now, there's a high probability that this is the case."
Bai Yiyuan smirked, "Kid, you're not thinking of charging into the Dragonkind World and slaughtering all the Dragon Kings, are you?"
Only Dragon Kings possessed Dragon Crystals. To obtain one, a Dragon King had to be slain.
For a brief mont, the thought crossed Lin Moyu’s mind—but he quickly dismissed it. Even he knew that was far too ambitious.
ng Anwen shook his head, "Actually, there’s another place where you can find a large amount of Dragon Crystals."
Lin Moyu and Bai Yiyuan imdiately turned to him.
ng Anwen continued, "In the deep layer of the Immorial Battlefield—where I encountered that Dragon corpse—I saw a graveyard while being chased."
"A Dragonkind graveyard. Countless Dragon corpses are buried there… along with a large number of Dragon Crystals."
Bai Yiyuan scoffed, "That’s not helpful at all. Moyu can’t even enter the deep layer right now. And even if he could, with that undead Dragon still lurking there, it would be a death sentence."
ng Anwen shrugged, "I’m simply letting you know that such a place exists."
Lin Moyu understood his aning, "Thank you, Teacher."
If the opportunity arose, he would definitely investigate.
Bai Yiyuan warned, "Both the Dragonkind and Abyssal Demons have their eyes on you now. Be extra careful. Even within the empire’s borders, don’t let your guard down. Those bastards have plenty of insidious tricks up their sleeves."
Lin Moyu nodded, "I'll be careful."
ng Anwen said calmly, "In a few days, we’ll take care of those rats. That should buy us so peace… for a while."
Lin Moyu frowned, "Is there no way to eradicate them completely?"
Bai Yiyuan sighed and shook his head. "It’s not as simple as you think. Within the empire, it’s still manageable. But dealing with the ones beyond our borders… that’s a whole different problem."
"If we escalate things, it could very well lead to civil war among the human race. And when that happens—whether it’s the Abyssal Demons or the Dragonkind—they’ll seize the opportunity to strike."
Lin Moyu thought it over and understood imdiately.
The human race wasn’t unified under a single empire. Beyond the Shenxia Empire, nurous factions vied for power, entangled in a complex web of alliances and rivalries.
A large-scale conflict could easily spiral into civil war.
ng Anwen’s voice deepened, "What the human race truly needs is an absolute powerhouse—soone with unquestionable authority, soone no one would dare defy."
Lin Moyu instinctively asked, "What about that person?"
ng Anwen shook his head, "A half-step Transcendent God isn’t enough. Perhaps… when he truly reaches the Transcendent God-level, he’ll be able to unite humanity."
A genuine Transcendent God-level powerhouse!
Even as Lin Moyu returned to Xiajing Academy, ng Anwen’s words echoed in his mind.
A Transcendent God-level powerhouse… the one who could bring true stability to the human race… the one who could finally put an end to internal conflict.
Suddenly, a lodious voice called out to him.
"Junior Lin!"
