Chapter 1468: Chapter 1468: About to Begin
Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. Isn’t that right? If you calculate from your parents, your seniority would undoubtedly be terrifyingly high. In terms of seniority and age counted from the dragon egg, Zhang Chujia might indeed not be quite there.
Bai Xiuxiu asked, "What should we do next?"
Lan Xuanyu replied, "No rush. I intentionally asked Zhong Zhichang for control of the Blue Sea Tribe. In the future, this army will naturally be under our control, and there’s also the effect of training it. This auction will surely be supported by the four old dragons. At that time, we’ll obtain plenty of good stuff to arm our army. Of course, the biggest benefits will be for our own people. With the support of these four, there shouldn’t be any major issues within the Dragon Group for now. We can have plenty of time to develop. Next, it depends on the situation with the battle against the Deep Red Realm. We’ll hurry to enhance our strength while also understanding the situation of the Deep Red Realm. Before the Dragon Horse Grand Auction begins, I can’t go out; I have to pretend to be weak and recovering my strength. After the auction, we should be able to rally the power of the Blue Sea Tribe."
"Alright. Then I’ll continue with my cultivation," Bai Xiuxiu said.
Lan Xuanyu nodded. With him by her side, Bai Xiuxiu’s cultivation speed would be faster. After the divine transformation, Bai Xiuxiu’s ice-devouring attribute has been increasing day by day. Coupled with the newly acquired Sky-blue Divine Dragon Armor, one could say she’s like a tiger with wings; in the Douluo Federation, she could absolutely be considered a powerhouse.
Ten days passed in a flash, and the entire Sky Dragon City had become lively, with many more people than usual. Elites, powerhouses, and merchants from various tribes of the Dragon Horse Federation gathered in this largest city of the entire federation to prepare for the arrival of the Dragon Horse Grand Auction.
A grand auction that can involve the entire federation, its size is imaginable. The auction will be held directly at Sky Dragon Plaza. The temporary venue is entirely managed and directed by the city’s military. Tickets to participate in the grand auction are already hard to come by. It’s exceedingly difficult to qualify for bidding.
This auction is held at this time because it has much assistance. One reason is that this grand auction is the first such large-scale event since the establishment of the Dragon Horse Federation. And it’s also held under the conditions when the Deep Red Realm might launch an attack at any time.
The leaders of various tribes know that the Dragon Horse Federation has started numerous arrangements to deal with the Deep Red Realm possibly appearing at any time. Only the true top echelons know the specific arrangements. However, there’s no doubt that various resources will see a price increase during this auction given the circumstances. War is about to begin, and after it starts, resources will be most critical, whether they’re war resources or basic living materials.
Merchants, driven by profit, naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity, and for the leaders of various tribes, securing needed resources for their tribes during this grand auction is also extremely important.
Thus, the emphasis on this grand auction can be said to be unprecedented. A constant stream of various people flows in. Despite Sky Dragon City’s expansive area, all hotels are fully booked. It’s already overcrowded.
Due to necessity, officials at Sky Dragon City had to set up tents on some open spaces in the city, renting them temporarily to outsiders. Of course, a fee is charged for this.
Even before the grand auction begins, the prosperity of Sky Dragon City has already generated considerable wealth. This is also why the grand auction is held in Sky Dragon City. Besides being the capital, the Sky Dragon Leader can rightfully gain profits from this auction!
In these ten days, Lan Xuanyu attended multiple meetings at the Sky Dragon Assembly to perfect his previous suggestions. Now, the plan is subtly placed on the schedule, quietly moving forward.
...
"Weiqiang." A pleasant voice rang out.
The Sky Dragon Leader couldn’t remember how long it had been since he heard this name. Sitting in meditation at his residence, he couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart. Subconsciously, his divine consciousness spread out, and in an instant, he recognized the source of the voice.
"Mother? You left seclusion?" The Sky Dragon Leader quickly stood up.
"Come to me." That familiar voice sounded again.
"Alright." The Sky Dragon Leader Jiang Weiqiang replied, his body awash in silver light, dragon power rising, and he silently disappeared from his residence.
Recently, he hadn’t returned to the Dragon Realm for cultivation. With the war imminent, as the Dragon Clan Leader and the entire federation’s leader, he had countless tasks to be busy with. Only he could truly hold down the various tribes within the federation. Thus, he remained in Sky Dragon City, preparing for various tasks.
Light flickered, revealing a deep cavern. But inside the cavern, the lighting was exceptionally bright.
The huge cavern was piled with all sorts of gemstones and precious minerals. The Space Source Crystals once massively treasured by the Douluo Federation could only scatter in the outermost areas in large chunks.
The vast cavern was illuminated by these sparkling gemstones, revealing everything. Even with the composure of the Sky Dragon Leader, upon arriving here, he couldn’t help but show a greedy expression.
The wealth was simply astounding, collected over thousands of years! For him, the future inheritor of this wealth was naturally himself.
However, the prerequisite was that his mother would have to leave this world. Without passing away, private wealth of the Dragon Clan was not to be violated, as per the fundamental laws of the Dragon Clan.
Walking through a passage, a larger cavern emerged, its walls embedded with gemstones of gold, red, and white, casting the cavern in luxurious colors.
Jiang Weiqiang immediately spotted the person sitting in the center of the cavern. As he saw this person, his body involuntarily trembled. He quickly stepped forward and knelt down, his voice slightly choked, saying, "Mother."
Sitting amongst her treasures, Zhang Chujia retorted, "Stand up. Why are you crying? I’m not dead yet."
"Ah?" Jiang Weiqiang, who was supreme among the Dragon Clan and the highest ruler of the entire Dragon Horse Star System, was momentarily stunned. He instinctively raised his head, looking at his mother again.
In his mind, his mother had always been the most beautiful female of the entire Dragon Clan. The unrivaled beauty. As a child, he personally witnessed his mother’s beauty and his father’s love. Although Zhang Chujia was the Second Seat, many of the Sky Dragon Leader’s powers were actually controlled by her. Jiang Weiqiang himself grew up step by step under his mother’s guidance.
He was extremely aware of how the former Dragon Knights, powerhouses, and even ordinary members of the Dragon Clan idolized his mother. It was such fervor that they didn’t even dare feel greedy. At least now, he was still far from achieving what his mother had done.
However, the Dragon Clan inevitably ages. Generally speaking, surpassing three thousand years means entering a rapid aging phase, progressing irreversibly towards death. High-ranking dragons and knights with strong cultivation can somewhat delay this. But even then, those who can exceed four thousand years are extremely rare.
His mother consumed countless celestial treasures to become the Dragon Clan’s first member to surpass the age of five thousand. He himself was already nearing four thousand now. It was precisely because he began entering his declining phase that he understood how hard it was for her to live so long.
