Chapter 374: Chapter 195: True Dragon, Foundation, Combat Ability Increase, Repairing the Life-Prolonging Furnace_1

“With this Emperor Level Lower Grade Dragon Vein, the development speed of Han Mansion will once again leap forward by a large margin.”

Han Li worked hard, constantly switching his targets, yet his mind was occupied with silent contemplation.

According to the classification in the Cultivation Realm, Spirit Veins are divided from Twelfth Grade to First Grade, with every three grades forming a level, the higher the grade, the rarer they are.

For example, from Third Grade to First Grade are all Top-grade Spirit Veins, containing a large amount of top-grade Spirit Stones; due to different grades, the quantity of stored top-grade Spirit Stones also varies, and at the core of a First Grade Spirit Vein, a Spirit Crystal will be nurtured.

Above Top-grade Spirit Veins are Divine Rank Immortal Veins and Emperor Level Dragon Veins, which are divided into four divisions: Lower, Middle, Upper, and Supreme Grade. Divine Rank Immortal Veins produce a large amount of Spirit Crystals, and their grade is determined by the size of the Divine Rank Immortal Vein.

A Divine Rank Supreme Grade Immortal Vein is nearly turning into a dragon, with a Spirit Source hidden at its core. If it takes one more step, it could evolve into a Dragon Vein.

The grade of Dragon Veins is also judged by size; the larger the Dragon Vein, the higher the grade and the more Spirit Sources it contains.

Once a Spirit Vein turns into a dragon, the Dragon Vein acquires its own consciousness and possesses formidable combat ability. Although it is not as strong as an Emperor Weapon of the same level, it is much stronger than a Saint of the Saint Abyss Realm.

At that time, capturing a Dragon Vein becomes very difficult; one must possess great strength, or else the Dragon Vein will escape using the earth’s veins.

A Dragon Vein with consciousness will no longer allow itself to be harvested at will; they are considered exceptional beings, also wishing to transform into True Dragons and roam the universe, but without the appropriate cultivation methods, it’s very difficult for a Dragon Vein to turn into a True Dragon.

When a Dragon Vein evolves into a True Dragon, it will condense a real dragon body, possessing dragon blood, Dragon Balls, and everything else a True Dragon has. Then, after experiencing the trial of heavenly tribulation, if successful, it becomes a True Dragon; if not, its consciousness is erased.

There are many in the world who wish to evolve into True Dragons, all from different origins, including snakes, flood dragons, carps, Dragon Veins, turtles, horses, pigs, pheasants, and so on.

Carps are born ordinary, extremely weak, but favored by fate, and as long as they leap over the Dragon Gate, they can become True Dragons, one of the top creatures in the world.

However, it is incredibly difficult for a carp to transform into a dragon and leap over the Dragon Gate. Through thousands of trials and hardships, it’s very fortunate if even one among tens of thousands of accomplished carp can turn into a True Dragon.

If a snake wants to become a dragon, it must undergo a long period of time, embark on the path of cultivation, awaken its intelligence, and transcend tribulation to become a flood dragon, then enter the sea to have a chance to transform into a True Dragon.

Entering the sea as a flood dragon is extremely difficult; it is akin to a deadlock. Without a Protector, one would almost certainly perish.

A flood dragon, swimming from rivers and lakes toward the sea, becomes irresistible prey at this phase, attracting countless greedy creatures seeking to seize its fortune. It cannot escape or hide; if successful, it becomes a supreme True Dragon, but if it fails, it perishes along with its path.

If one is born as a flood dragon, aside from entering the sea, there is also the option to slowly purify the bloodline, which, over a long period, may also offer the chance to transcend tribulation and become a True Dragon.

As for a turtle becoming a dragon, it cannot shed its shell; even with a dragon’s head, it remains a dragon-headed turtle like Ba Xia, the sixth son of the Dragon Ancestor.

…

Whatever the being, if it wishes to evolve into a True Dragon, it must pass through tribulations; there are both man-made and heavenly tribulations. Survive, and one becomes a Nine Heavens True Dragon; fail, and it means death.

Currently, in the Endless Yuankun Domain, there are no True Dragons, not even one, but there are records of True Dragons from ancient eras where they once existed in the Endless Yuankun Domain.

True Dragons are one of the most powerful species among all races in the skies. A newborn True Dragon is a Quasi Emperor, growing a little makes it a Heavenly Immortal of the Heaven Imperial Realm, and an adult True Dragon is at least a Heavenly Immortal.

For example, the Emperor Level Lower Grade Dragon Vein that Han Li obtained, if nurtured properly and with Han Li acting as its Protector, could have the potential to transform into a True Dragon in the future.

However, Han Li did not entertain this idea. To raise it into a True Dragon, he would first need to nurture it into an Emperor Level Supreme Grade Dragon Vein, which would require an abundance of resources, not cost-effective, and not as good as directly nurturing an Emperor Level Supreme Grade Dragon Vein.

Since this Dragon Vein was obtained from opening a treasure box, its spiritual intelligence is quite docile and obeys Han Li’s commands. He plans to integrate it into the earth’s veins of Chengsheng Mountain, which would boost the Spiritual Energy of Chengsheng Mountain a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, or even more.

One Emperor Level Lower Grade Dragon Vein, if fully mined, can yield at least five hundred thousand pieces of Spirit Source, and no more than eight hundred thousand pieces at most.

Of course, unless there are special circumstances, nobody would exhaustively mine it. Although Spirit Sources are precious, they pale in comparison to Dragon Veins.

If mined slowly, a Dragon Vein can produce ten thousand pieces of Spirit Source a year, only a fiftieth of its storage or even less, which will not affect the Dragon Vein’s growth.

In this manner, the Dragon Vein can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for recovery, and slowly evolve and grow over time, eventually having the potential to evolve into an Emperor Level Middle Grade Dragon Vein or even higher.

Han Li was not inclined to exhaustively mine it either. After this Emperor Level Lower Grade Dragon Vein was integrated into Chengsheng Mountain, he would mine it slowly. It would not only provide a massive amount of pure Spiritual Energy for Han Mansion, but also yield ten thousand pieces of Spirit Source annually.

According to the standard market price in the Cultivation Realm, one top-grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for one million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, but it takes one million two hundred thousand to exchange for one top-grade Spirit Stone.

One Spirit Crystal is equal to a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and one piece of Spirit Source is equivalent to ten thousand Spirit Crystals, which is the same as ten million top-grade Spirit Stones.

Spirit Source is mainly produced by Dragon Veins, containing extremely pure Spiritual Energy, which can be called Higher Level Spiritual Energy. Saints of the Saint Abyss Realm own it in small quantities. It is frequently used by Quasi Emperors and Great Emperors, and only Spirit Source can quickly replenish their Mana.

With this Emperor Level Lower Grade Dragon Vein, Han Mansion now has security, and it also eliminates a major concern for Han Li.
