The Dragon Clan's Hidden History, the Dragon Clan's Supreme Treasure!
The White Dragon King remained as majestic as he had been two years ago.
The difference is that back then, he thought the White Dragon King was the pinnacle of the world, but as Chen Ning saw a wider world, the Saint Realm was nothing at all.
Certainly.
The White Dragon King was not originally Saint.
Rather, it is Saint Venerable Realm, on par with the Golden Dragon King and other major Dragon Kings.
I don't know how I've reached this level.
This seems to be a taboo topic even within the Dragon Clan.
Neither the Golden Dragon King nor the Purple Dragon King wanted to reveal this matter.
Chen Ning had already given the White Dragon King a general account of the Dragon Clan.
Try to gain the support of the White Dragon King.
At the same time, Chen Ning asked the question that had been bothering him, "Why did you fall to this state, senior? And what caused your cultivation to regress to the Saint Realm?"
"This is a long story..."
The White Dragon King didn't shy away from the topic. After all, he had truly witnessed Chen Ning's growth and knew Chen Ning's extraordinary abilities. Such a person should be befriended, regardless of whether there was a connection with the Primogenitor.
"I was once one of the five Dragon Kings of the Vast Land Dragon Clan. With the Dragon God residing in the God Realm, the Vast Land Dragon Clan held a proud and relatively stable position. However, the Blue Dragon King began to reveal his ambitions. He wanted the Dragon Clan to become the ruler of Vast Land. Although the Dragon Clan was strong, the strongest being in the world had always been the patriarch of the Kunlun God Clan. He was unwilling to accept this, so he convened a clan meeting, intending to use my Dragon Clan's most precious treasure!"
"The ultimate treasure is actually the Dragon God's Dragon Pearl, left behind by the Blue Dragon King Dragon God before he went to the God Realm. It possesses unfathomable power. The Blue Dragon King wants to activate the Dragon Pearl so that the five of us can break through to the God Realm. The Golden Dragon King disagrees, the Red Dragon King Purple Dragon King remains silent, and the Red Dragon King is inclined to agree, but even with him and the Blue Dragon King together, we only have two votes. The final decision rests with me."
"Senior agreed?"
"No, later the Blue Dragon King still secretly used the Dragon Pearl, and as a result, he failed... and even brought annihilation upon my Dragon Clan!"
The White Dragon King said indifferently, "All members of my Dragon Clan can connect with the Dragon Pearl will then transmit power back to our Dragon Clan members. The Dragon Pearl was originally meant to protect the entire Dragon Clan, but the Blue Dragon King was too greedy and wanted to break through to the God Realm. Therefore, he craved too much power from the Dragon Pearl, causing it to become deficient and backfire on the entire Dragon Clan!"
"At this moment, a sacrifice is necessary. This is the only chance. Only by transferring sufficient power to the Dragon Pearl can Dragon Pearl stability be restored."
"So, you were the one who sacrificed yourself, senior?"
Chen Ning finally understood why the White Dragon King's power had declined, but he still asked in confusion, "Since the disaster was caused by the Blue Dragon King, why wasn't he the one to sacrifice himself?"
"At that time, the Blue Dragon King failed to break through to the God Realm and was severely injured, making it impossible for him to channel his power back into the Dragon Pearl."
Later.
The White Dragon King sacrificed his own cultivation level to restore the stability of the Dragon Pearl, thus extending the life of the Dragon Clan.
This incident became a scandal within the Dragon Clan.
Therefore.
The Dragon Clan is unwilling to reveal this to outsiders.
But.
The Blue Dragon King turned misfortune into blessing. Although he failed to break through to the God Realm, the power he obtained from the Dragon Pearl made him the strongest among the five Dragon Kings.
Strength reigns supreme.
Even after committing a colossal calamity, the Dragon God did not strip the Blue Dragon King of his title. Similarly, the White Dragon King, who saved the entire Dragon Clan, did not have his dragon king title revoked, even though his power level dropped.
But.
The White Dragon King has already damaged his very essence.
It's practically hopeless for him to ever return to the Saint Venerable Realm again.
So.
His status as the Dragon King was merely nominal.
At first.
The entire Dragon Clan was extremely grateful to the White Dragon King.
But as time went on...
This gratitude gradually faded.
In particular, the Red Dragon King always took the opportunity to target the White Dragon King.
At last.
Disheartened, the White Dragon King, along with a few loyal followers, left the Vast Land and arrived in the Nine Provinces Realm.
"Senior, with the Dragon God dead and the Profound Nether God Clan's Heavenly Venerable Yifeng interfering, the Dragon Clan is bound to split. Therefore, it is necessary for my Little Black Dragon Clan to take charge of the Dragon Clan and regain power in order to stabilize the Dragon Clan!"
"I would naturally be willing to let the Primogenitor regain control of the Dragon Clan, but the Blue Dragon King's strength is unmatched in the Dragon Clan. In addition, there's that enhancement Secret Method of the so-called Heavenly Venerable Yifeng that you mentioned. If the Blue and Red Dragon Kings are pushed too far, I'm afraid it will directly plunge my Dragon Clan into civil war. At that time, there will inevitably be some casualties."
The White Dragon King sighed helplessly.
Then.
He sacrificed his cultivation to save the Dragon Clan's life.
He naturally did not want to see the Dragon Clan split up and fight a civil war.
"Senior, casualties are inevitable. If we allow the Blue Dragon King and Red Dragon King's ambitions to continue to grow, civil war will be unavoidable once all their forces are strengthened. At that time, all the power of the Golden Dragon King and Purple Dragon King will be swallowed up, and the bloodshed and sacrifices will not be reduced as a result."
Upon hearing this...
The White Dragon King sighed softly, "Alas... It's just that the Dragon God in the God Realm died at the wrong time. If you and the Primogenitor had been able to grow a few more years, the Dragon Clan would surely have been able to weather this storm more peacefully."
"It was precisely because of this opening that Heavenly Venerable Yifeng wanted to take advantage of the Dragon Clan."
After listening to the White Dragon King's explanation, Chen Ning finally learned what the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure was, and thus, he could deduce Heavenly Venerable Yifeng's purpose.
