“Little Green Dragon, the news of you receiving the Dragon Clan inheritance and the Divine Dragon Pearl is unknown to the other three Dragon Palaces. If you reveal it now, can you bear the consequences? Also, have you reached Nine Claws?” Lin Yun asked.
“Before you left last time, the Qiankun Crystal Stones you gave me allowed me to smoothly reach Nine Claws. With the effect of the Divine Dragon Pearl and the Dragon Emperor’s inheritance, I’m confident that even the East Sea Dragon King is no longer my match. In the current Dragon Clan, my strength has reached the peak,” Little Green Dragon said.
“That’s great!” A smile immediately appeared on Lin Yun’s face.
Little Green Dragon’s strength reaching the peak of the Dragon Clan was absolutely fantastic news.
Lin Yun could hardly keep up with Little Green Dragon’s rate of improvement.
However, Lin Yun couldn’t compare himself to Little Green Dragon. He possessed the powerful First-Grade Dragon Clan bloodline, while Lin Yun was just an ordinary human from a small world, with no deep background. His talent was decent but not exceptionally outstanding. Everything he achieved was through his own efforts.
“Thanks to your Qiankun Crystal Stones, otherwise, how could I have reached Nine Claws so quickly? So, I owe you one, you rascal,” Little Green Dragon said with a smile.
“The resources for those Qiankun Crystal Stones were all provided by you. I just helped convert them,” Lin Yun said, smiling.
Lin Yun continued, “By the way, Little Green Dragon, how can you reach Ten Claws? If you use Qiankun Crystal Stones, how many would you need?”
Lin Yun knew that while Nine Claws was already very strong, to truly surpass the East Sea Dragon King and command the entire Dragon Clan, making the other three Dragon Palaces willingly submit, Little Green Dragon needed to reach Ten Claws.
“To reach Ten Claws, it’s not just about piling up Qiankun Crystal Stones. My bloodline must reach the Supreme Grade. I need to rely on the Divine Dragon Pearl to continuously evolve my bloodline until it reaches the Supreme Grade. Only then can I attempt to break through to Ten Claws,” Little Green Dragon explained.
In fact, not only reaching Ten Claws but also advancing to Eight Claws and Nine Claws required strong bloodline support.
To reach Nine Claws, a First-Grade bloodline was necessary. A Second-Grade bloodline might have a slim chance, but the difficulty was immense.
Since Little Green Dragon already had a First-Grade bloodline, advancing to Eight Claws and Nine Claws seemed smooth, relying solely on Qiankun Crystal Stones. However, this was only possible due to the First-Grade bloodline’s support.
Without a First-Grade bloodline, even with enough Qiankun Crystal Stones, advancement would be difficult.
Now, for Little Green Dragon to reach Ten Claws, the bloodline issue was the challenge. For the Dragon Clan, improving one’s bloodline was incredibly difficult, as bloodline quality was innate.
However, with the Divine Dragon Pearl, a supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan, Little Green Dragon had the potential to reach a Supreme Grade bloodline.
“Little Green Dragon, relying on the Divine Dragon Pearl’s evolution ability, how many years will it take to elevate your bloodline to Supreme Grade?” Lin Yun asked.
“Based on my experience with the Divine Dragon Pearl’s evolution ability these days, I estimate it will take about a hundred years,” Little Green Dragon said.
Evolving a bloodline was a gradual process, not something that could be achieved overnight.
“A hundred years?” Lin Yun’s gaze narrowed slightly.
“With the One Thought Clear Heart Tower you gave me, I can actually complete the bloodline evolution in twenty years!” Little Green Dragon said with a smile.
“That’s not too long,” Lin Yun said, smiling in relief.
This timeframe was shorter than Lin Yun’s expectations.
For an immortal, twenty years was indeed insignificant.
“By the way, Little Green Dragon, if you give me the One Thought Clear Heart Tower and use this Purple Cloud Tower, its time acceleration effect can reach eight times. That way, a hundred years would only take twelve and a half years to complete your bloodline evolution.”
Lin Yun took out the Purple Cloud Tower and handed it to Little Green Dragon.
“If the Demon Clan hasn’t started the war, I wouldn’t be in such a hurry. But now that the Demon Clan has begun, I do need to speed up my bloodline evolution.”
Little Green Dragon nodded, then took out the One Thought Clear Heart Tower and exchanged it with Lin Yun.
“The Human Clan currently has no confidence in defeating the Demon Clan, especially in dealing with that Demon Lord. So, the Human Clan is stalling as much as possible, trying to delay the final battle. Based on my estimation, this war won’t be short, giving you enough time to evolve your bloodline to Supreme Grade,” Lin Yun said.
“That’s good,” Little Green Dragon nodded.
“By the way, after you reach Supreme Grade bloodline and attempt to break through to Ten Claws, roughly how many Qiankun Crystal Stones will you need? I’ll prepare in advance,” Lin Yun said.
Once the Supreme Grade bloodline was achieved, Little Green Dragon would be eligible to attempt Ten Claws, so preparations needed to start early.
Nine Claws already corresponded to the Human Clan’s Third-Level Mahayana realm. Due to the Dragon Clan’s powerful physical body, Nine Claws’ combat ability was much stronger than an average Third-Level Mahayana realm cultivator.
As for Ten Claws, what Human Clan realm would it correspond to? Lin Yun didn’t know.
Lin Yun still didn’t know what lay beyond the Third-Level Mahayana realm.
But Lin Yun was certain that the Third-Level Mahayana realm was not the end.
From his last conversation with his master, Lin Yun was sure of this.
As for the Qiankun Crystal Stones needed for Little Green Dragon to reach Ten Claws, Lin Yun guessed it would be an astronomical number.
After all, the Dragon Clan’s resource consumption for advancing realms was much higher than that of humans. Lin Yun had already witnessed the terrifying quantities required for Little Green Dragon to advance from Seven Claws to Eight Claws and from Eight Claws to Nine Claws.
“To attempt Ten Claws, if relying entirely on Qiankun Crystal Stones, I estimate it would take three to five million. This is just my guess; the exact amount will only be clear when the time comes,” Little Green Dragon said.
“What? Three to five million?” Lin Yun gasped in shock.
That many resources to melt down! The thought alone was staggering.
“That number is indeed terrifying. However, I’ll also arrange for the West Sea Dragon Palace to spare no effort and gather resources at all costs. As long as the elders know it’s for advancing to Ten Claws, they won’t object,” Little Green Dragon said.
Lin Yun nodded.
Little Green Dragon continued, “You rascal, now that I’m at Nine Claws, do you think I should announce my identity as the Dragon Emperor’s heir to the other three Dragon Palaces and organize the Dragon Clan to join forces with the Human Clan against the Demon Clan? Or should I wait until I reach Ten Claws to announce it?”
Back then, the Dragon Emperor had said in front of the four Dragon Palaces’ teams that his heir would reveal themselves when the time was right.
This timing depended on two factors. The first was the Demon Clan attacking the Human Clan.
The second, and most important, was when Little Green Dragon’s strength was sufficient to intimidate the other three Dragon Palaces.
