King of Creation

Ye Zhen’s inquiry was taken very seriously by Wen Fuguo. Wen Fuguo was well aware that among the Four Saints of Sky Wing, the one truly leading was actually the youngest, Ye Zhen, the Territory Suppressing Heavenly King of the True Profound Continent.

This inquiry by Ye Zhen was likely related to his future position; if Wen Fuguo answered well, his name as the think tank might be firmly established.

If not answered well, it would be hard to say.

After contemplating for a moment and organizing his thoughts, Wen Fuguo slowly began to speak.

"The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea’s expansion plan, given current circumstances, is still appropriate, but it hasn’t considered one crucial point," said Wen Fuguo.

"The Four Seas Dragon Court!" Wen Fuguo didn’t beat around the bush, but directly pointed out this key issue.

"In the more than a year since arriving at the Water Mansion, I have meticulously studied all the ancient books and documents I could collect, and exchanged ideas with the Tortoise Clan, who are renowned as living think tanks in the sea, for a long time.

Only then did I learn that to become the master of a Dragon Palace in any sea region of the Primordial Continent, one must gain the recognition of the Four Seas Dragon Court.

Once recognized by the Four Seas Dragon Court, one is considered legitimate, and after gaining their recognition, one indirectly receives the protection of the Four Seas Dragon Court.

If any external forces invade, the Four Seas Dragon Court will step in to support or even protect.

Just like when the Great Zhou Dynasty invaded the North Sea, in the end, it was the Four Seas Dragon Court’s strong practitioners who personally intervened and repelled the Great Zhou’s invasion.

If our large-scale encroachment on the Blue Scale Dragon Palace is discovered, even if we withstand the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s counterattack, once the Blue-scaled Dragon King seeks help from the Four Seas Dragon Court,

then, whether it’s the experts from the Four Seas Dragon Court stepping in, or the Four Seas Dragon Court ordering other Dragon Kings to support the Blue-scaled Dragon King, we would be undoubtedly defeated," said Wen Fuguo.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen nodded. Ye Zhen was aware of the Four Seas Dragon Court’s matters.

It was precisely because he was wary of the Four Seas Dragon Court that Ye Zhen hadn’t significantly expanded the territory of the Water Mansion, but instead lived peacefully within the waters of the Blue-scaled Dragon King.

"However, the Four Seas Dragon Court has heritage from the Ancient Times, and even having over a million years of heritage is considered little, plus, there are many long-lived ones among the Water Clan.

In other words, the strength of the Four Seas Dragon Court is unfathomable; it’s not just ten or a hundred years, but thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and we still won’t have the strength to counter the Four Seas Dragon Court.

If we follow what Military Advisor Wen says, doesn’t it mean we have to cautiously shrink within the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s waters for a lifetime, never able to expand?" Ye Zhen asked.

Upon hearing this, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint immediately got anxious, "If that’s the case, wouldn’t we be suffocated to death in our lifetime?"

"Sea-Breaking Great Saint, do not worry, I have long considered this matter, and have both a lower and upper strategy for the Great Saints to choose from," Wen Fuguo confidently said.

"Lower and upper strategies?" Now, it was Ye Zhen’s turn to be surprised, he didn’t expect that Wen Fuguo had long thought of this matter.

"Oh, what is the lower strategy, and what is the upper one, let’s hear about it?" Ye Zhen said.

"Great Saints, I will first talk about the lower strategy. This lower strategy is simple; it is for the Sea Suppression Great Saint to seize an opportunity to use the method of controlling the divine soul to control the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s divine soul, then take him as a puppet, slowly plotting for power, and growing stronger.

The disadvantage of this strategy is that everything must go through the Blue-scaled Dragon King, which poses a risk of exposure. Once exposed, great disaster will fall!" Wen Fuguo said.

"The lower strategy won’t work! The Blue-scaled Dragon King’s primordial spirit is protected by powerful Dao realm abilities, making it extremely difficult to control his divine soul. Tell me your upper strategy," Ye Zhen said.

"Great Saint, the upper strategy is very simple; it relies on the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea," Wen Fuguo said.

At the moment Wen Fuguo said this, everyone’s eyes turned to the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, whose expression suddenly froze. "It relies on me? I don’t know any upper or lower strategies?"

"Great Saints, according to my extensive inquiries, among all the masters of the Dragon Palaces recognized by the Four Seas Dragon Court throughout history, even the lowest bloodline would be that of a Four-Clawed True Dragon.

For instance, the Blue-scaled Dragon King was acknowledged after his bloodline advanced to a Four-Clawed True Dragon, which allowed him to conquer and establish as the master of the Blue Scale Dragon Palace once recognized by the Four Seas Dragon Court," Wen Fuguo said.

"Your suggestion is for Second Brother to..." Ye Zhen’s expression was moved.

"Sea Suppression Great Saint is right, my idea is to have the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea refine his bloodline, elevating his current Horned Dragon bloodline first to the Yinglong bloodline, and then to the Four-Clawed True Dragon bloodline.

As long as the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea upgrades his bloodline to a Four-Clawed True Dragon, we can go to the Four Seas Dragon Court and seek their recognition.

After gaining recognition, the Four Seas Dragon Court will bestow the title of Dragon King.

Within the major sea regions of the Primordial Continent, if any external force invades, the Four Seas Dragon Court will surely organize the Dragon Kings from various sea regions to counterattack.

However, for internal conflicts between Dragon Kings of different sea regions, they never interfere. In other words, as long as the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea is recognized by the Four Seas Dragon Court, we can openly annex the territory of the Blue Scale Dragon Palace, or even other Dragon Palaces."

Pausing slightly, Wen Fuguo continued, "This strategy holds the greatest hope, is the least difficult, and most secure! But the only issue is that advancement in the Dragon Clan’s bloodline is exceedingly difficult, and often requires certain fortuitous opportunities for advancement.

As for now, I am unsure when the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea’s bloodline can advance to that of a Four-Clawed True Dragon.

Hearing this, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea had a slightly dim expression. With the assistance of the Spirit Void Fruit provided by Ye Zhen, his bloodline advanced from a Flood Dragon to a Horned Dragon.

But if he wants to rely on the Spirit Void Fruit to advance his bloodline from a Horned Dragon to a Yinglong, the amount of Spirit Void Fruit needed would be astronomical.

For those who hope to rely on the Spirit Void Fruit to advance their bloodline from Ying Dragon to Four-clawed True Dragon, that’s basically impossible.

The reason? It’s quite simple.

Because the Spirit Void Fruit only purifies and awakens bloodlines; it can condense and reveal the bloodlines within one’s body but cannot create bloodlines out of thin air.

In the dragon bloodline of the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, there might even be a trace of Ancient Black Dragon’s bloodline imprint, but that amount might not even be one in ten trillion.

How can this be awakened?

The best way for the Dragon Clan to awaken their bloodlines is to devour the flesh and bones of high-level dragons, and then refine the bloodline and power imprints contained within.

But obtaining the flesh and bones of high-level dragons, how easy is that?

Dragons are treasures all over; not to mention flesh and bones, even dragon feces are high-level spiritual medicine required in alchemy.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea does want to advance, but under normal circumstances, his hopes for advancement can be considered indefinitely distant.

When the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea was looking incredibly dejected, Ye Zhen was taken aback, as if a pillow was delivered when he wanted to sleep.

Military Advisor Wen really does a good job as a think tank.

Ye Zhen only thought of the Four Seas Dragon Court, but didn’t think of how Hee Cheng was recognized and acknowledged by the Four Seas Dragon Court.

"Brothers, take a look at what this is?" Ye Zhen suddenly threw out several big barrels.

The Great Saint of Jinghai and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint were still sniffing, while the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea abruptly jumped up, "True Dragon Essence Blood, and it’s infinitely close to Five-clawed True Dragon’s True Dragon Essence Blood."

If there’s more than fifty thousand pounds of such essence blood, combined with the treasure given by the fourth brother, it can definitely transform me, advancing to become a Ying Dragon!"

"Only fifty thousand pounds? I will give each of my three brothers one hundred thousand pounds." With a wave of his hand, Ye Zhen filled the whole hall with a thousand large barrels filled with True Dragon Essence Blood from the Blue-scaled Dragon King.

The Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint were all dumbfounded, "Fourth brother, where... where did you get so much True Dragon Essence Blood, infinitely close to Five-clawed Dragon True Dragon Essence Blood?"

"Where else could it come from? I collected it when slaying the True Body of the Blue-scaled Dragon King. You can use these to improve your Cultivation! It should be enough to make your Cultivation advance several stages rapidly, right?" Ye Zhen said.

The usually stern and serious Sea-Breaking Great Saint burst into a rare laugh, "With these one hundred thousand pounds of Five-clawed True Dragon Essence Blood, my Cultivation will break through to the Seventh Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, no, it should definitely break through to the Eighth Stage at least!"

The Great Saint of Jinghai and the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea were excited beyond words; they didn’t even know how to thank Ye Zhen.

"Fourth brother, once we conquer the territory in the future, all the benefits on the territory will be divided into four parts, one for each of us!" After thinking for a long time, the Great Saint of Jinghai could only make such a promise, somewhat soothing his conscience.

At this time, Ye Zhen gave a mysterious smile and threw out three more big barrels, "Big Brother, look again at what’s in these barrels?"

Before the Great Saint of Jinghai and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint could see, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea’s nose twitched as if having spasms, and his fingers on the wooden barrel trembled uncontrollably.

"Let me savor it a bit, this... this... is Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s Essence Blood? This is even higher in Grade than Five-clawed True Dragon’s Essence Blood.

And it’s the purest and most original Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood.

With just five hundred pounds of this Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood, I can break through my bloodline to become a Ying Dragon.

If I first use True Dragon Essence Blood from the Blue-scaled Dragon King to break through my bloodline to become a Ying Dragon, then use this Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood, only five to six thousand pounds are needed to advance my bloodline to a True Dragon!

Four-clawed True Dragon!"

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea was already so excited he was talking incoherently.

Four-clawed True Dragon! Achieving the status of Four-clawed True Dragon occupies his dreams so many times that he doesn’t even dare to imagine it.

Being a lowly-blooded Blue Flood Dragon, he was lucky enough to become a Flood Dragon, Horned Dragon, and now, he might become a Four-clawed True Dragon, it’s simply....

After speaking, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea fixed his gaze on Ye Zhen, the intention more obvious than words.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea understood well that it wasn’t quite appropriate to ask Ye Zhen for more like this, but the temptation of becoming a Four-clawed True Dragon was too great to resist.

He decided to dedicate the rest of his life to repay Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen couldn’t help but understand the meaning in the eyes of the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and casually waved his hand, causing thousands of barrels filled with Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood to appear in the hall again.

"Ten thousand pounds of Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood for each of my brothers, I’ve already prepared."

While the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint were surprised beyond words, Military Advisor Wen and Ning Shiyi were dumbstruck, dear lord, this is simply...

The Great Saint of Jinghai inhaled sharply, "Fourth Brother, don’t tell us you slew another Five-clawed Silver Dragon?"

"Brother, isn’t your news a bit too uninformed?" Ye Zhen rolled his eyes dramatically!
