"The Rock Dragon King's secret realm?"
The people from the Five Great Immortal Sects present knew little about it. Only those from the Four Seas Dragon Palace knew a thing or two.
"Everyone here should know that the True Dragons of Ancient Times were originally divided into five tribes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth," the Dragonkin explained. "According to legend, the richest of the five tribes was actually the Earth Dragons."
"Because Earth Dragons were attuned to the Dao Rhythm of mountains and earth, they could more easily discover Spiritual Qi in Earth Veins and mineral deposits deep underground. They were the first to excavate and mine many of the world's spirit minerals."
According to the brief descriptions of the Dragon Clan in many ancient texts, the five dragon tribes had their specialties: Golden Dragons excelled at forging, Wood Dragons at cultivation, Fire Dragons at refining medicines, and Earth Dragons at mining...
Water Dragons lacked a technical specialty like these, so they had always been the poorest of the five tribes.
That was why the black dragons of the water tribe had always suffered discrimination.
Of these specialties, the Earth Dragons' required neither investment nor technical skill. They could do it from birth, and through it, they had accumulated vast quantities of Spirit Gold and ore, becoming the wealthiest of the Dragon Clan.
As a branch of the Earth Dragons, the Rock Dragon Clan would surely have had a Treasure Vault of their own, most likely in Rock Dragon City. After Rock Dragon City was destroyed, no one knew whether those treasures had been seized by the Demon Race or hidden away.
Thus, after obtaining Rock Dragon City, the Western Sea Dragon Palace had conducted an extremely thorough search, guaranteeing that nothing had been overlooked.
