28 -28: The Thoughts of the Jiang Family’s Ancestor

Jiang Chen’s eyes sparkled as he asked, “What does the ancestor mean by that?”

After taking a sip of wine, the Jiang Family’s ancestor explained, “The primary role of the Dragon Gate and the Dragon Transformation Pool is to improve one’s bloodline.”

“It’s just that because too many True Dragons were born in these two treasures, they gradually gained the reputation of only being useful for the Dragon Clan.”

After listening to his ancestor, Jiang Chen thought to himself, isn’t the transformation of a flood dragon into a True Dragon, the enhancement of bloodline itself?

However, this Dragon Clan is quite cunning, they even thought of using the name of Dragon Transformation as a cover to hide the actual purpose of the Dragon Gate.

Ingenious indeed.

Glancing at Jiang Chen, the ancestor of the Jiang Family asked, “So, are you interested?”

Hearing that the Dragon Gate could improve the bloodline, Jiang Chen’s face visibly blushed with excitement.

Who wouldn’t be excited?

Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Who wouldn’t like the opportunity to enhance their bloodline?”

Seeing Jiang Chen’s enthusiasm, the ancestor of the Jiang Family was reassured and continued, “It’s a pity that even if you are interested, it would be of no use.”

“Your bloodline is too concentrated.

The Dragon Gate is no longer useful to you; even if you could pass through it, your bloodline wouldn’t improve.”

The ancestor of the Jiang Family told Jiang Chen that after the decline of the Dragon Clan, the power of the Dragon Gate drastically reduced, rendering it useless for those with superior bloodlines.

This is why no bloodline has surpassed the Five-clawed True Dragon in the Dragon Clan since ancient times.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s face fell.

He felt that his ancestor was teasing him.

If the Dragon Gate was useless to him, why did the elder bother telling him so much about it?

With a bitter look on his face, Jiang Chen said, “If the Dragon Gate is useless to me, then why does the ancestor want me to go to the Dragon Clan?”

Tapping Jiang Chen’s forehead with his finger, the ancestor of the Jiang family said, “Young people are always so impatient.

You couldn’t even wait for me to finish.”

“The Dragon Gate might be useless to you, but the Dragon Transformation Pool could be useful.”

At these words, Jiang Chen suddenly perked up and asked, “What use?

Could the Dragon Transformation Pool be stronger than the Dragon Gate?”

This time, the ancestor of the Jiang Family didn’t keep Jiang Chen guessing.

Instead, he said, “In terms of the pool itself, it’s not stronger than the Dragon Gate.”

“However, unlike the Dragon Gate, the Dragon Transformation Pool contains treasures left by past generations of the Dragon Clan’s masters.

There’s even a legend that the Ancestor Dragon also left some treasures in it.”

“Therefore, the Dragon Transformation Pool is much more valuable than the Dragon Gate.”

The ancestor of the Jiang Family revealed many secrets.

Indeed, just as he had said, the Dragon Transformation Pool is the essence of the Dragon Gate and the most precious treasure of the Dragon Clan.

Of course, what’s valuable isn’t the pool itself, but the treasures inside it.

Considering the might of the Dragon Clan in its heyday—true rulers of the Heaven and Earth, with numerous masters—it’s quite imaginable.

The masters of the Dragon Clan left all their treasures and heritage in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Even the Ancestor Dragon did the same.

Therefore, the value of the Dragon Transformation Pool cannot be underestimated; it represents an immense opportunity.

Even the treasury of the Great Qin would seem insignificant in comparison.

Excited by the story, Jiang Chen said, “Hiss~ Treasures left by the Ancestor Dragon and past Dragon Clan masters…

the Dragon Clan is truly generous to offer these.”

It’s apparent that the Dragon Transformation Pool holds great significance to the Dragon Clan, representing their Heritage Treasure.

The fact that they were willing to offer it to the Jiang Family shows their sincerity.

As if he had guessed Jiang Chen’s thoughts, the ancestor of the Jiang Family chuckled coldly and said, “The Dragon Clan is sly and cunning.

How could they let us profit from them for nothing?”

“To enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, one must first pass through the Dragon Gate.

Just this condition alone has stopped many of our family members.”

“Moreover, even if one successfully passes through the Dragon Gate and enters the Dragon Transformation Pool, it’s not guaranteed that they would gain anything.”

Jiang Family’s ancestor seemed to bear certain grudges against the Dragon Clan and was filled with discontent.

He mentioned that the Jiang Family was actually tricked by the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Transformation Pool holds treasures left by the masters of the Dragon Clan, and the Jiang Family belongs to the Human Race.

Even if they managed to enter, what then?

Without the favor of the Dragon Clan’s masters, it’s impossible to gain any benefits.

Although members of the Jiang Family have entered the Dragon Transformation Pool over generations and have not come out empty-handed, whatever they gained was usually mediocre at best.

This situation was hardly satisfactory.

“This…” Hearing this, Jiang Chen didn’t know how to respond.

He was dealing with secrets of the ancient period, something far beyond his reach.

The Flame Emperor was a sharp individual; he couldn’t have been tricked by the Dragon Clan.

There must be reasons unknown to outsiders.

So, Jiang Chen decided the best course of action would be to keep quiet, avoiding any chance to make a fool of himself.

Therefore, Jiang Chen changed the topic, and asked, “In that case, does the ancestor have any methods that could help me gain some benefits from the Dragon Transformation Pool?”

The ancestor of the Jiang Family wouldn’t have discussed these secrets with him for no reason.

So, since they were on this topic, it meant there must be some means in his possession to resolve this issue.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s question, a look of approval flashed across the ancestor’s face.

He said, “You are indeed clever.”

“Ever since I realized that our family was being deceived by the Dragon Clan, I have been attempting to find a solution.

After several years, I finally thought of a method.”

“The treasures in the Dragon Transformation Pool are chosen based on dragon Qi.

The purer the dragon Qi, the greater the benefits it confers.”

“So, I started asking the children of the Jiang family to carry various items with a high density of dragon Qi when entering the pool.

This is how we trick the system and obtain the treasures.”

At this point, Jiang Chen flattered in time, “The ancestor is truly formidable.”

Satisfied with Jiang Chen’s words, the ancestor of the Jiang Family gave a gratified smile, then his expression turned serious as he stated:

“Although the problem has been solved, the grudge of the Dragon Clan’s deceit remains.

For this, I plan to teach them a lesson.”

As he spoke, the ancestor of the Jiang Family flipped his hand, revealing a stream of purple aura.

In an instant, a vast and boundless aura imbued with an absolute majesty spread out in all directions.

Awoo~

In a trance, Jiang Chen seemed to see an incomparably sacred giant dragon.

With the heavens and earth as its ocean, thunder as its chariot, it manipulated wind and thunder, galloping between heaven and earth like a supreme emperor inspecting his domain.

From it, Jiang Chen could sense the boundless emperor’s aura.

Its dignity was so strong that even the Great Sun Golden Crow, the descendant of the ancient Tiandi within Jiang Chen, was trembling.

If it weren’t for the roaring Human Path flood within Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, he might have surrendered to the aura’s majesty at first sight, bowing to it like the most devout follower worshiping a deity.
