Chapter 865: Chapter 864: [What Exactly Is the Dragon Crystal?]
[PS: The second update today is here. Please subscribe!!!]
The Dragon Vein is the root source of spiritual energy for the entire planet. Not only does it nourish the growth of all living things on the planet, it also provides Martial Artists with resources for cultivation. One can imagine that even cultivating amidst scattered spiritual energy can turn so Martial Artists into peerless powerhouses. But if one enters the Main Dragon Vein and absorbs the most refined spiritual energy, what kind of sight would that be? Throughout history, Martial Artists have had their eyes on the Main Dragon Vein, but to find it, fix it in one place, and break through the earth to train inside it is sothing unheard of. Currently, Earth holds a Dragon Crystal capable of stabilizing the Dragon Vein beneath the ground. If this news were spread, it would likely trigger countless Martial Artists to engage in battle. At that ti, not only the leaders, but the entirety of China might face destruction. After all, this object possesses irresistible allure for every Martial Artist, even Emperors.
“There’s actually such an item on Earth… Luckily, Martial Artists from the Ancient Martial World haven’t learned of it, or else it would be unimaginable.” Ye Tianchen said.
“We, China, have only had this item for a hundred years. After so research, we’ve concluded that if you possess the Dragon Crystal and walk into a place abundant with spiritual energy, you’ll sense it. Presumably, finding the Main Dragon Vein should be similar, but how exactly to use this item to stabilize the Main Dragon Vein remains unknown. This matter has been China’s highest secret, known only to a few of us elders, who understand its importance.” The primary leader said, looking at the Dragon Crystal floating in mid-air.
“The Dragon Crystal affects the fate of all living beings on a terrain and will beco the treasure Martial Artists seek after. Having it is equivalent to mastering the fate of a planet, finding an optimal place for cultivation. No one would remain unmoved. To China, this item is inevitably a destructive bomb.” Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow and said.
“You’re right, this item doesn’t benefit us at all, but it would bring disaster to every living being on Earth if it fell into the hands of wicked Martial Artists. Thus, we’ve safeguarded it cautiously, not wanting anyone to know.” Elder Jiang nodded and said.
“But we understand that the Dragon Crystal’s secret can’t remain concealed forever; eventually, soone will know. Because the most powerful beings in this world are Martial Artists, soone will inevitably discover it through mysterious thods. Then, not only would it be China’s disaster but would also threaten all life on Earth with death.” Elder Hu said worriedly.
“Tianchen, maybe we’re being unreasonable, maybe we’re being irresponsible, but we hope you can save China and the entire world. Among them are your parents and relatives. We know your power, know your unfathomable depths; only you have this capability.” Vice Chairman Yang said seriously and solemnly.
“What do you an? You’re confusing .” Ye Tianchen laughed sowhat dazedly.
The primary leader walked to the floating Dragon Crystal, gazed at Ye Tianchen, and said, “To be frank, we’ve received news that formidable Martial Artists have learned of the Dragon Crystal and began plotting for it. We can’t protect this Dragon Crystal, nor wish to bring disaster upon China’s people and Earth’s living beings. So, we hope you can take it and safeguard it.”
“Huh? You want to be a savior? Impossible, I can’t handle this…” Ye Tianchen imdiately said.
Ye Tianchen didn’t expect that the primary leader, Vice Chairman Yang, Elder Jiang, and Elder Hu had long discussed and decided for him to take the Dragon Crystal, becoming its guardian. Of course, from a certain perspective, no cultivator wouldn’t desire this Dragon Crystal. Especially Martial Artists, as possessing the Dragon Crystal ans they can find places rich in spiritual energy, which is essential for cultivation, whether Martial Arts True Power or Martial Arts Divine Skill. However, the burden is imnsely heavy, and Ye Tianchen dared not rashly promise to accept it. Once he possessed the Dragon Crystal, he’d bear significant responsibility for Earth’s all living beings. If the Dragon Crystal fell into wicked Martial Artists’ hands, they would use it to stabilize Earth’s Main Dragon Vein, drawing spiritual energy, affecting all life growth. He’d beco soone indirectly responsible for many deaths, a responsibility and guilt too enormous to bear.
“Tianchen, we’re not asking you to be a savior. We’re telling you we’re at a helpless point; Martial Artists are beyond our handling, only you can. Do you want to watch innocent people die?”
“Not everyone can cultivate, can beco powerful Martial Artists. Many lead ordinary lives; they’re kind and honest, rising with the sun and resting at sunset. The Dragon Crystal eventually needs a Guardian to protect it from evil people taking it.”
Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, aware of what the pri leader and others said. The Dragon Crystal held irresistible allure for him too. Had the leaders not emphasized such grave responsibility, he would take the Dragon Crystal, for with it he could find richer spiritual energy for cultivation, ceaselessly breaking through his Cultivation Realm, guarding what he must, seeking the heights and objects he won’t abandon. But possessing the Dragon Crystal would add a duty; if a powerful and evil Martial Artist snatched it and stabilized the Dragon Vein, absorbing Earth’s spiritual energy for cultivation, it would cause the planet’s all life to wither and die – a responsibility Ye Tianchen knew he couldn’t bear nor easily commit to.
“Bosses, it’s needless to say more; this duty I cannot shoulder, but I’ll promise you that for my own family’s peace and happiness, I’ll exert myself to stop Xu Zigang.” Ye Tianchen seriously looked at the four leaders and said.
At this ti, in the villa where the Old Viper Ghost and Xu Zigang resided, the two’s conversation reached its deepest point. After becoming a powerful Martial Artist, Xu Zigang primarily aid to retaliate against China, killing top leaders to wreak havoc. Upon encountering the Old Viper Ghost, the ghost shared his thoughts regarding Earth’s Dragon Vein, piquing Xu Zigang’s interest. His Cultivation Realm faced constraints, making breakthrough difficult. Like Old Viper Ghost, if he could utilize Earth’s Dragon Vein’s refined spiritual energy for further cultivation and breakthroughs, he undoubtedly would, regardless of Earth’s life dying because he’s indifferent. This ti, accompanying Old Viper Ghost back to China, they intend to seize the item capable of stabilizing Earth’s Dragon Vein by assassinating top leaders.
“Old Viper Ghost, you’ve withheld your words for a long ti. Since we’re in the sa boat now and about to act, shouldn’t you finish what you haven’t said?” Xu Zigang looked at Old Viper Ghost and asked.
“What words haven’t I said?” Old Viper Ghost feigned ignorance and asked.
“What words? You ntioned being able to stabilize Earth’s Main Dragon Vein; what is this item? Does it truly exist? Why haven’t I heard before?” Xu Zigang, still sowhat distrustful, asked.
“Hmph, this treasure is unknown to Earth’s many historical experts, even peerless figures. As for , accidentally seeing it briefly recorded in an Ancient Tomb, I spent over twenty years researching and analyzing to deduce this treasure is in China.” Old Viper Ghost snorted coldly.
“What exactly is this treasure?” Xu Zigang pursued the question.
“Dragon Crystal.” Old Viper Ghost said in a deep voice.
“Dragon Crystal? What is it? Can this thing stabilize a Dragon Vein that even Emperors struggle to fix?” Xu Zigang asked with apparent disbelief.
“In this world, probably only I, Old Viper Ghost, truly understand the Dragon Crystal. Without collaborating with , you’re unlikely to ever know these secrets or achieve any Cultivation Realm breakthroughs in your lifeti.” Old Viper Ghost sneered at Xu Zigang.
“Since we’ve chosen collaboration now, we should be candid; hiding things will only strain our partnership.” Xu Zigang said displeasedly.
Old Viper Ghost glanced at Xu Zigang, knowing both sought to exploit each other’s strength, mutual suspicion prevalent with neither revealing final tricks nor hidden capabilities. Collaboration between two treacherous individuals rests on interest; once interest wanes or distribution becos contentious, they’ll quickly turn adversaries, fighting to death – nothing unusual.
