Chapter 398: The Hidden Danger of the Dragon Clan
Volume 3 Five Spirits Helping the World Chapter 398 Dragon Clan Hidden Dangers
That night, the four of them stayed in Elder Long Xingchen's palace. After settling the four of them, Long Xingchen walked out of the palace and went to the patriarch in person to explain the matter.
After Long Xingchen came back, the four princesses of the sea were busy asking for news, but Long Xingchen said that the patriarch couldn't give a clear answer, after all, Jin Ling Jingyuan was very important, and he couldn't make a hasty decision alone, and everything would be negotiated after meeting tomorrow.
The next day, Long Xingchen took the four of Tu Tian to the tallest and most spacious palace in this area. As soon as he stepped into this palace, Tu Tian felt countless powerful breaths.
At the very least, there are more than ten breaths! Powerful and boundless breaths, each one can be comparable to Elder Long Xingchen beside him! The masters of these breaths, if nothing else, should have reached the realm of the Spirit King.
This was an eye-opener for Tu Tian. The core palace of the dragon clan is indeed as strong as a cloud. Even, Tu Tian knew very well that the aura he perceived was only a part. And how many strong people are hidden in other palaces in the shadows?
Of course, this was just Tu Tian's perception of spiritual power, and he detected that they could stimulate the combat power of the Spirit King, but in terms of real spiritual power comprehension, only four or five people had reached the Spirit King realm.
Fortunately, Tu Tian and the others can be regarded as people who have seen the world, so they immediately adjusted their emotions and overcame the fear in their hearts.
"Patriarch of the Bear Clan, Xiong Da has seen the great Dragon Clan Patriarch and the elders" Xiong Da took the lead and bowed in front of him. The three of Tu Tian also saluted.
Looking at it from the corner of his eye, Tu Tian saw several old people sitting on it, it seemed that their age was obviously quite ancient, and the wrinkles on their faces were like ravines, but under the old dragon bell, there was a terrifying power.
In the first position of them, there is a tall middle-aged man, the man is dressed in the most simple linen clothes, and his appearance is not too outstanding, if you look at it, it is very easy to be ignored.
What made Tu Tian feel strange was that he actually had a sense of déjà vu for this middle-aged man, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the middle-aged man in front of him. What's more, what kind of identity is that middle-aged man, how could he have seen the patriarch of the dragon clan!
At the same time, when the middle-aged man looked at Tu Tian, his expression seemed to be slightly stunned, but he immediately covered it up.
"No need to be polite, sit down. The middle-aged man pointed to a few stone chairs on the left.
"Patriarch Xie!" the four of them thanked and sat down on the stone chairs. These stone chairs were large and stiff, probably for meetings with important members of their dragon clan. Because the dragon body is very large, it is generally taller and stronger after taking on a human form.
"Are you the current Sea Princess?" After everyone sat down, the middle-aged man looked at the Sea Princess and asked.
"Yes, it's a pity that I, the sea princess, am really incompetent, causing damage to the Sea Clan's holy weapon, and I really have no shame to face the people of the Sea Clan, so I came to the Dragon Clan for help this time. Princess Hai said.
"The five elements are mutually reinforcing, gold gives birth to water, and your clan's holy weapon belongs to water, so it is normal to ask for help from my Jinxing space. Two thousand years ago, your previous generation of sea princesses also repaired the Nine Spiral Conch with us. The middle-aged man said lightly.
"Oh, we just guessed before, we didn't expect that the sea princess really entered the dragon domain back then, it seems that we have really come to the right place" The sea princess said with some joy.
"This, the Jinshui space is interdependent, and it is supposed to help each other. It's just ......," the middle-aged man said with some hesitation.
"Just what?" the sea princess felt a faint uneasiness in her heart.
"Hey, it's just that now my dragon clan's golden spirit essence is also extremely lacking. Over the past hundreds of years, the Golden Spirit Essence has been continuously depleted, and the few we have left can only last for two or three hundred years at most. The middle-aged man sighed.
"Ah, why is this? Could something have happened?" Tu Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Speaking of which, when you came in, you should have sensed that our Dragon Domain's spiritual power was strong, especially the golden spiritual power, which was far more than ten times better than the outside world. Next to the middle-aged man, an old man with a sparse white beard and almost bare hair took over the topic.
The four of Tu Tian nodded, but they didn't interject, waiting for the old man to continue.
The old man glanced at the middle-aged man, who nodded slightly, and then the old man continued.
It turned out that thousands of years ago, there was a civil strife in the dragon clan, and the two outstanding rising stars at that time refused to give in to each other for the position of patriarch, and finally one day the two fought hard, and they both lost their minds and chose to blow themselves up at the same time.
The power of that self-explosion not only affected the Dragon Clan's Guardian Array, but also affected the Dragon Clan's strength at its root. Since then, in order to maintain the survival of the dragon clan, a lot of gold spirit essence has been consumed every ten years.
As a result, the Dragon Clan's previous accumulation of Golden Spirit Essence Yuan Extreme Extreme Consumption, over the past hundreds of years, the Dragon Clan's accumulation has consumed most of it, but the problems faced are still unsolvable. So now the dragon clan has no extra golden spirit essence to help the sea princess.
Hearing this, Tu Tian frowned slightly. Even the dragon clan was reluctant to help the sea princess recover the golden spirit essence of the Nine Spiral Conch, so there was no need to help Xiao Huxian get the golden spirit essence again. For a moment, the scene fell silent.
"I don't know what my predecessors said, the root of the dragon clan's strength is ...... Could it be that such a rich golden spiritual power in the Dragon Domain is not enough to make the Dragon Clan strong?" Tu Tian first broke the awkward atmosphere, he knew that his question was actually very abrupt, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Tu Tian hoped to be able to fight for it, so he still couldn't help but ask the reason.
Sure enough, as soon as he asked, displeasure suddenly appeared on the faces of several old men of the dragon clan. The middle-aged man thought for a moment, and finally said, "Hey, I know you have questions...... So be it. Xiong Da, you are busy with the affairs of the bear clan, so go back first. These three guests, I want to keep them and see if there is any solution to the matter. ”
When Xiong Da heard this, there must be some secrets of the dragon clan that he didn't want people in the demon beast realm to know, so he deliberately took him away. immediately retreated with interest, just telling the sea princess that if it was convenient, she would go to the black bear clan again.
For him, bringing the three sea princesses into the dragon clan, but not causing the dragon clan's disgust, is already a very satisfactory ending, after all, it can be regarded as helping the sea princess, and it can be regarded as a reward for the things of the year.
"Originally, the matter you asked was a secret of my dragon clan, but since you are not from the Demon Beast Realm, it doesn't matter if you let you know. Come with me......" The middle-aged man, the patriarch of the dragon clan, had already walked towards the door as he spoke.
Tu Tian and the three of them glanced at each other and followed closely. In a short time he walked out of the palace and came to the edge of a lake, which was vast and clear.
Near the shore is a sea of lush green leaves with no end in sight, the giant trees, thousands of feet high, the trunks, filled with ancient lines, and the most surprising thing for the three of them is that these giant trees like Optimus Prime are like living creatures, swallowing the spiritual power of this heaven and earth.
When he took a closer look, Tu Tian also found that these giant trees were actually the same root tree, and they had the same thick roots! If these giant trees were combined, they would not be much smaller than the holy trees on the Qingyuan Sacred Peak.
"This is the Golden Spirit Tree, an immortal tree handed down from ancient times, they have the function of creating spiritual power, as long as they swallow a small amount of energy, they can create quite majestic and pure spiritual power, especially golden spiritual power...... As long as the Golden Spirit Tree does not die, this kind of throughput will be endless, endless, and will provide us dragon clan with rich spiritual power."
The dragon patriarch pointed to the giant forest in front of him and introduced the three of them.
"Oh, in this way, the Dragon Domain can have such a strong spiritual power, it is entirely because of the function of the immortal tree in front of him. Princess Hai said.
"Not to say completely, at least there is also a considerable credit, not only the Dragon Domain, but also the entire Demon Beast Domain's spiritual power concentration has its share of the credit. Unfortunately, the immortal tree is currently damaged. I can't generate spiritual power on my own!" the patriarch shook his head and sighed.
"Well, but I obviously feel that they are swallowing spiritual power, and the golden spiritual power is particularly majestic. The Turtle Emperor looked at the golden spirit tree in front of him and was puzzled.
"Hey, that's because we fed it the Golden Spirit Essence. The dragon clan patriarch sighed, and walked to the huge root of the golden spirit tree first, and made a series of handprints with both hands.
After a few breaths, there was a ripple in the space in front of him, revealing the soil space near the huge tree roots, where there were several brick-shaped things, flashing with a strong apricot light, exuding a strong golden spiritual energy. These golden spiritual powers did not spread far, and they were directly absorbed by the golden spirit trunk.
"Since that battle a thousand years ago, the Golden Spirit Tree has no longer been able to produce Golden Spirit Power on its own, and there are still signs of withering on the tree's body. In order to keep the immortal tree, and in order to maintain the spiritual power concentration of the dragon domain, we had to choose to nourish the immortal spirit tree with the golden spirit essence, and at the same time absorb the energy of the golden spirit essence through the golden spirit tree, and then release it. In this way, outsiders can't see the changes in the Golden Spirit Tree at all, and even in my Dragon Clan, only me and a few elders know about it. ”
The dragon patriarch sighed and introduced.
"Haven't you tried any other methods?" Tu Tian asked.
"I've tried, but it didn't work. We'd also like to go over and ask for help from families in other spaces. However, the dragons have always had little contact with the world, and they have no trusted allies, let alone tell them this secret. Besides, even if they were told, who would have a way to solve such a thorny problem as the Golden Spirit Tree. ”
"Maybe Princess Hai and I can give it a try," Tu Tian said, staring at the dragon clan patriarch.
