The dragon race is the dragon race, and the dragon’s nest is the dragon’s nest.
The Dragon’s Nest is the dwelling place of the dragon race, and can also be considered their world.
Wu Wenjie specified that the Dragon’s Nest itself had issues, which left Lu Yu confused.
He entered the dragon’s lair and found no other issues.
Lu Yu asked, “What’s wrong with the Dragon’s Nest?”
“The Dragon’s Nest is actually the place where dragons are reborn.”
Wu Wenjie was very serious and solemn.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and said, “Continue.”
If that were the case, Lu Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
“We have been investigating the secrets of the dragon race. Not long ago, upon learning the news that the Dragon King was still alive, we also uncovered another secret. In fact, the Dragon’s Nest is not merely a world for the dragons; it is also where deceased dragons rest. However, their rest is actually another form of slumber. Much like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, dragons enter the Dragon’s Nest before death, preserving their final breath to enter a state of dormancy, patiently awaiting recovery. Not long after we began our investigation, we encountered a colossal dragon on the verge of resurrection within the Dragon’s Nest. That was already more than a decade ago. If we calculate the time that has passed, there should now be a large number of dragons resurrected within that Dragon’s Nest.”
Lu Yu frowned and said, “Haven’t people been entering the Dragon’s Nest all along? Didn’t they notice anything?”
“Mr. Lu, you certainly wouldn’t know since you’ve never returned to the Dragon’s Nest afterward. The Dragon’s Nest has long been sealed off; entering requires dragon blood, and right now, there isn’t a single person in this world who can gain access.”
Lu Yu continued to ask, “Once the Dragon Clan awakens, will they reappear on this land?”
“No, in fact, they have already begun to appear on this land.”
Lu Yu was astonished and said, “What?”
“The Dragon Clan also possesses the power of mutation, and it seems that there are already quite a few dragons among the current population who have transformed into humans. They appear to be preparing for a great calamity. Whether we investigate the Dragon’s Nest or the Dragon Clan itself, everything seems to point toward this impending disaster. Moreover, it seems that the arrival of this calamity is not a matter of time, but rather depends on whether a certain threshold has been crossed.”
Lu Yu frowned and said, “Is it for the Great Purge? Since the resurrected Dragon Clan has already arrived in this world, wouldn’t the perpetually resurrected Dragon Clan have already appeared on the land long ago?”
Wu Wenjie said, “Mr. Lu, this is everything we know. The Dragon Clan has not perished, nor have they truly died.”
Lu Yu nodded his head; the information he received was too shocking.
What exactly would the Dragon Clan want to do if they had never perished?
The humanoid race is trapped in the Demon Hunting Plains.
And what if the Dragon Clan, connected to this world, were to be resurrected and set foot upon this land once more?
After learning more details about the Dragon Clan from Wu Wenjie, Lu Yu finally parted ways with him.
Wu Wenjie also left after receiving a large amount of funds and supplies from Liu Xing.
The following search will consume a large amount of supplies, and might even require making deals with some devil cities.
Lu Yu saw off Wu Wenjie and checked the progress of the city’s construction.
The development of the second field is still progressing slowly.
It will probably take about a year, or even two years, to complete the process. Lu Yu is no longer seeking speed, but completeness.
After ten years of peace as a guardian was broken, he wanted a city that no one could enter.
The remaining time he had was devoted to cultivation.
At this time, Liu Xing also began to search for the most talented children in Huaxia by using the information provided by Lu Yu.
Lu Yu does not seek quantity, only children with absolutely good morals and qualities.
With the evolution potion and the treasure vault pearl, Lu Yu had a greater advantage than anyone else.
With the presence of Phoenix Dance and Zi Yu, the uncrowned kings, he aims to cultivate a group of young experts with extraordinary talents.
Three months after the end of the exhibition, the Tian Shen organization sent someone to deliver a pearl to Lu Yu.
The Celestial Deity Organization failed to locate the land beneath the eternally starlit sky, so they used their powers to carve out a space of their own.
“Go back and tell your leader that not a single Supreme Star Weapon will be withheld from you,” Lu Yu said, handing over more than a thousand Supreme Star Weapons to the other party, who then took them back.
At the same time, the visitor handed Lu Yu a letter, saying, “We’ve searched for a long time and used our precognitive abilities to locate someone who awakened before the apocalypse. His name and appearance are both on this letter. Within the Celestial organization, only five people know this secret.”
After reading the letter, Lu Yu frowned slightly and quickly set it on fire.
After sending off the members of the Celestial Deity Organization, he entered a starry realm through a bead, carrying a large amount of materials for forging star soldiers.
After Lu Yu activated the Star-Calling Art, a star in the sky immediately descended a beam of starlight that merged into his body.
“The remaining time, I will focus on training the troops,” Lu Yu murmured to himself, and then transformed into a giant of flames.
The fierce essence of hellfire melted away large quantities of materials.
Lu Yu guided the power of the stars from the air into the materials, then began the tempering process using his weapon-forging technique.
This time, he only forged ten weapons, all in order to focus his attention.
There is no day here, only an eternal night and infinite starlight.
For him, this is the best place to train soldiers, with no restrictions.
The first batch of star soldiers quickly broke through the hundred refinements.
“Tempering a hundred times isn’t enough. This is just the beginning of creating a perfect star artifact.”
Lu Yu did not stop but continued the tempering process.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred…
Lu Yu was not merely refining soldiers; he was also drawing upon the power of the stars, transforming it into star essence through the Celestial Star Technique to temper his Royal Venerable Body.
He was continuously tempering himself, becoming familiar with every step of weapon forging, and then comprehending the significance of each process.
When the first batch of star soldiers reached the thousand-refinement stage, the originally formed weapons suddenly melted into liquid, and then turned into gas and evaporated within the flames.
“What’s going on?” Lu Yu was shocked, and his heart ached even more.
The materials for the five hundred million Star Spirit Stones are gone.
He carefully reviewed every step and found no mistakes.
“Could it be that something went wrong in one of the intermediate steps?”
Lu Yu took out the materials again.
It’s the same materials again, even the quantity is the same, starting over once more.
During the thousand refinements, the material vaporizes and evaporates once again.
Lu Yu finally figured out the problem and smiled, saying, “The process is correct, the materials are correct, but these materials are too low-grade to withstand too many tempering sessions.”
He used the lowest grade of materials. Nine hundred and ninety-nine refinements were the limit.
Lu Yu started his third attempt, using the lowest grade of materials to temper it.
After the 999th refining process, Lu Yu began to withdraw the flames.
Ten star weapons took shape.
With an attack power of five hundred and no other attributes, it does have one skill.
“Trash.” Lu Yu casually tossed the ten star-forged weapons into the Treasure Vault Pearl.
Five hundred attack power is considered strong in others’ eyes; even as a single-attribute weapon, it is already extremely valuable.
But Lu Yu looked down on it.
He was going to forge the ultimate weapon, one with three attributes and two skills!
That’s why he called such single-attribute weapons trash.
Lu Yu took out the materials again, and they were still the lowest grade.
The art of forging weapons only taught Lu Yu how to forge them. To truly create excellent weapons, however, required experience and a deep understanding of the craft.
Lu Yu kept experimenting and refining tirelessly under the starry sky, trying various combinations of different materials to find the best method.
After dozens of experiments and refinements, Lu Yu finally discovered the most perfect combination.
Three attributes, each with five hundred star soldiers, crafted from the most basic materials, can be considered perfect.
The creation of star soldiers requires a balance; it is not the case that the more of a single material, the better.
An excess of metallic materials will inevitably result in single-attribute offensive capabilities.
Excessive ore-type items provide only single-attribute defense.
Excess bones obtained from monsters or items such as mutated star spirit pearls merely enhance single-aspect vitality.
When the three types of materials reach a certain proportion, two or more properties will emerge.
But true perfect balance is not about having equal amounts of materials; it is a subtle equilibrium that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but rather felt through sensation.
Lu Yu achieved this balance by continuously increasing the amount of various materials.
Eight out of the ten Star Weapons will have perfect triple attributes. As for obtaining three skills, it also depends on combining specific materials.
But it’s even more complicated, and Lu Yu now finds it hard to figure out.
“Three attributes, three skills—that’s a true Star Soldier!”
Lu Yu was not satisfied and continued to temper himself relentlessly.
At the same time he was training his troops, he was also absorbing the essence of the stars and storing it away.
In three months, Lu Yu trained his soldiers until he was exhausted, then absorbed the essence of the stars.
When tired from cultivation, he would forge weapons.
As his experience in training soldiers continued to accumulate, he was getting closer and closer to achieving three attributes and three skills.
At the same time, his maximum basic life increased to 1,200 Zun, his attack power broke through to 1,000 Zun, and his defense power reached 1,600 Zun.
What was unexpected for Lu Yu was that when his base attributes increased, the attributes of the King’s Ancestral Bone actually decreased by one hundred each.
“Absorbing the essence of stars to temper a renewed body, is it also about assimilating the attributes within the King’s Sacred Bone?”
Lu Yu’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he realized he had finally uncovered the true purpose of Wang Zun’s bone.
Due to the digestion of Wang Zun’s bone, his body was simultaneously transforming and absorbing Wang Zun’s power.
The complete Wang Zun bone is not a star treasure; its function is equivalent to a powerful medicine that requires continuous absorption.
Although he couldn’t yet harness these powers, once he became a King’s Disciple, these abilities would awaken.
The bones of King Zun provide him with a faster path toward becoming King Zun himself.
Three months later, even the lowest-grade materials for forging weapons in Lu Yu’s possession had been completely used up.
Lu Yu left the Starry Sky and returned to Fanggang City.
Wang Ling refined more than 3,000 drops of evolution liquid, as well as 50 drops of evolution medicine.
One third of the evolution liquid was sold by Liu Xing.
All two hundred drops sold to the humanoid race were exchanged for Blue Planet Souls, while those sold by Qin Hai and other humans were used to trade for various precious materials and items.
Fifty drops of evolution medicine, thirty of which were exchanged for materials to refine star artifacts.
The remaining twenty drops of Liu Xing were reserved for the genius he had discovered.
Because Lu Yu’s requirements were very strict, Liu Xing had only found three people within three months.
These three children had been strictly evaluated and carefully selected to be those absolutely incapable of betrayal. They were all between the ages of ten and twelve and held the lowest rank, Level One.
The effects of the evolution potion were already specified in its refining formula, with the most noticeable results when used by a Level 1 Star Soul.
Lu Yu personally infused the three children with magic blood and then bestowed upon them the skill of “Wrath of the Fire God.”
Only then did he send the three of them into the Treasure Vault Pearl.
What he demands is 100% loyalty, otherwise many of his secrets will no longer remain safe.
In the Treasure Vault Pearl, he administered the evolution potion to the three children.
“This medicine is just too miraculous!” More than four hundred people present were astonished.
They had endured countless hardships to cultivate to this realm, yet the three children before them had broken through in just a few breaths.
Yang Lie sighed and said, “If I had just one drop of this medicine back then, would I have died?”
The three children were still very young and timid. Facing so many people before them, they felt a bit frightened and huddled together.
“How effective is this Treasure Vault Pearl for you all?” This was the first time Lu Yu asked the group about their situation since Yang Lie and the others entered.
Fang Hua laughed heartily and said, “Want to know? Don’t be surprised!”
