“Little Green Dragon, now that you’ve reached Nine Claws and have the Divine Dragon Pearl’s enhancement, although you’re the strongest in the Dragon Clan, your strength hasn’t completely surpassed the East Sea Dragon King and others,” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun continued, “If the other three Dragon Palaces refuse to submit to you and join forces against you, the West Sea Dragon Palace won’t be able to handle it. For stability, I think the best opportunity is after you reach Ten Claws.”
Although Nine Claws could be announced, Lin Yun felt that waiting until Little Green Dragon reached Ten Claws would be the safest approach.
“Indeed, that’s what I was thinking. I’ll wait until my bloodline evolves to Supreme Grade and I reach Ten Claws before making the announcement,” Little Green Dragon nodded.
Little Green Dragon looked up at Lin Yun. “Lin Yun, regarding the Dragon Clan joining forces with the Human Clan, go back and tell the Heavenly God Palace that the time isn’t right yet. They need to wait another ten or so years and try to delay as much as possible.”
“Alright,” Lin Yun nodded in agreement.
“By the way, you rascal, how’s your cultivation going?” Little Green Dragon asked curiously.
“I’m stuck at the peak of the Third-Level Myriad Things realm. It’s a major bottleneck, not easy to break through. Unlike you, I don’t have a powerful bloodline to make breakthroughs so effortless,” Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
“Breaking through to the Mahayana realm is indeed tough. Your cultivation time is short, and expecting you to reach the Mahayana realm in such a short period is almost impossible. It’s quite a challenge,” Little Green Dragon remarked.
Then, Little Green Dragon patted Lin Yun’s shoulder. “No worries. Once I break through to Ten Claws, I’ll take on the Human Clan’s burdens.”
“You’ll take them on?” Lin Yun was stunned.
“What? Don’t believe in my strength?” Little Green Dragon said with a cheeky, smug expression.
“Of course I believe in your strength. It’s just that the Human Clan’s matters aren’t your responsibility, yet you’re taking them on. I feel uneasy about it,” Lin Yun said with a sigh.
Although Lin Yun didn’t know the exact strength of the Heavenly God Palace Master, he guessed that once Little Green Dragon reached Ten Claws, his strength would likely surpass the Palace Master’s.
Little Green Dragon was indeed qualified to be a pillar of support.
“Haha, you’re being too formal. Your matters are my matters. Besides, helping the Human Clan is also the Dragon Emperor’s dying wish,” Little Green Dragon said with a laugh.
“But that Demon Lord isn’t easy to deal with. Back then, the Human Emperor and Dragon Emperor together could only suppress him, and it cost them their lives,” Lin Yun said with a sigh.
“No problem. Once I reach Ten Claws, I can go toe-to-toe with that Demon Lord. Back then, the Human Emperor and Dragon Emperor couldn’t kill him because his body was nearly indestructible. In reality, the Demon Lord couldn’t defeat them either. That’s why the war lasted for an incredibly long time, with many shifts in the situation. The Dragon Emperor mentioned this when passing down the inheritance,” Little Green Dragon explained.
Little Green Dragon continued, “So, as long as I reach Ten Claws, my Dragon Clan physical defence will be equally formidable. At the very least, the Demon Lord won’t be able to kill me. I may not be able to kill him either, but I can keep him tied up.”
“I understand,” Lin Yun nodded.
The Human Clan’s greatest fear was likely the Demon Lord. Even if Little Green Dragon could only keep him at bay, that would already be a significant help.
“By the way, you rascal, remember the Dragon Emperor’s dragon bones?” Little Green Dragon looked at Lin Yun.
“Yes, you mentioned them before,” Lin Yun nodded.
“I no longer need this set of Dragon Emperor’s bones. When the Dragon Emperor gave them to me, he said I could decide how to use them to maximise their value. I’ve considered it, and I can give them to you. If you can replace your bones with these, it will greatly enhance your physical body,” Little Green Dragon said.
“Why don’t you use them?” Lin Yun asked, surprised.
“Are you daft? Once I reach Supreme Grade bloodline and Ten Claws, my own dragon bones will become extremely powerful. I won’t need to replace them with the Dragon Emperor’s,” Little Green Dragon said, rolling his eyes.
“Makes sense,” Lin Yun nodded in realisation.
Little Green Dragon immediately took out a storage conch.
“The Dragon Emperor’s bones are in here. But replacing your bones with these will involve excruciating pain and even the risk of death. You need to understand this,” Little Green Dragon said, his expression turning serious.
“Risk and reward go hand in hand. I get it,” Lin Yun said with a smile and a nod.
Under Little Green Dragon’s guidance, Lin Yun had once replaced a small piece of Qilin bone, so he knew how difficult and painful the process was.
These were the Dragon Emperor’s bones. Replacing them would be millions of times more challenging than the Qilin bone.
“In short, do what you can handle,” Little Green Dragon said, handing the storage conch to Lin Yun.
“Don’t worry, you know me,” Lin Yun said with a grin.
After the long talk with Little Green Dragon, Lin Yun immediately left the Dragon Clan to report back.
This trip had been fruitful. He confirmed the approximate time needed for Little Green Dragon to reach Ten Claws and the timeline for the Human-Dragon Clan alliance.
…
Lin Yun hurried back to the mainland and quickly headed to the Heavenly God Palace to find Vice Palace Master Yao.
When Lin Yun arrived at Heavenly City, he found it almost overflowing with activity.
Clearly, in the few days he was gone and back, things had been progressing rapidly.
Heavenly God Palace.
Inside the main hall.
“Lin Yun, you’re back from the Dragon Clan. How did the talks go? Can the West Sea Dragon Palace send support? Or do they have any demands or conditions? Feel free to share,” Vice Palace Master Yao asked eagerly as soon as Lin Yun entered, clearly very concerned about the matter.
For Vice Palace Master Yao, even if they couldn’t secure the entire Dragon Clan’s resources, getting support from just the West Sea Dragon Palace would already be a great achievement.
“The cooperation is settled, and there are no specific demands. However, due to internal reasons at the West Sea Dragon Palace, they need about fifteen years before they can send support,” Lin Yun said.
“Fifteen years? Well, securing cooperation and getting support from the West Sea Dragon Palace, even if it’s fifteen years from now, is already quite impressive,” Vice Palace Master Yao said with a sigh.
“Vice Palace Master Yao, I can give you a heads-up. When the time comes, it might not just be the West Sea Dragon Palace supporting us, but the entire Dragon Clan,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“What? Really?” Vice Palace Master Yao was overjoyed.
“Of course it’s true,” Lin Yun said, smiling.
“Haha, that’s fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!” Vice Palace Master Yao exclaimed, delighted.
