Wang Long smiled, seemingly understanding his thoughts, and nodded, saying, "That's right! However... don't think of this as a turning point in the battle situation. After all, the Human Emperor also holds this card; moreover, he probably has more Dragon Emperor's Bones than we do."
"But regarding the division of power between the Four Seas Alliance and us, it does hold some significance... I have already made them agree to ensure that the number of Dragon Bone Realm experts created will balance the powers of the Four Seas and the Dragon-Snake Alliance. This way, we can limit the future dominance of the Four Seas and prevent them from harboring intentions to swallow up my Kyushu Islands."
Wang Yuanxian smiled and said, "The Dragon Head is truly far-sighted; I admire you."
Man Qianyi also said, "I see, then this is indeed a good thing."
"Exactly... I also ask Elder Man Qianyi to arrange this as soon as possible and compile a list of those from the Serpent Demon Clan who can adapt to such an elevation. I have already agreed with the Four Sea Dragon Kings to meet in Dragon City in a month."
"Although the Dragon Emperor's Bones are incredibly powerful, those who can withstand such strength must be at least experts of the seventh level of Dragon Vein Realm or higher. Most importantly, they must be loyal to Dragon City and the Kyushu Islands!"
Man Qianyi's expression turned serious as he respectfully replied, "Yes! I understand! I will take care of this immediately!"
He was quite straightforward, immediately excusing himself and heading towards the Serpent Demon Clan's base. However, upon reaching the door, he turned back and smiled, saying, "Elder Wang, I hope you don't forget what you owe me... After this great battle, I will come back here to collect!"
Wang Yuanxian smiled back, "I would never dare to forget!"
Wang Long sent off Man Qianyi and then addressed the elders present, saying, "Before this, everyone... I still need to find that piece of Dragon Emperor's Bones above the Kyushu Islands. I initially thought it would be deep within Dragon Mound, but I have already verified that there is no presence of Dragon Bone there. Does anyone have any clues?"
"Dragon Mound? Deep within?" Wang Yuanxian pondered for a moment and glanced at Liu Hongchuan. The latter was known for collecting various classic texts and treasures like Divine Weapons and elixirs; he was particularly adept at strange tales and historical legends.
Liu Hongchuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "As for Back Mountain Dragon Tomb, although it is rumored outside that it was created by Previous Dragon Head battling against Dragon Soul in the skies and burying countless dragon corpses; in reality, it has existed for thousands of years but was completely sealed during Previous Dragon Head's time..."
"However, even though Dragon Mound has always been secretive and heavily guarded... it has indeed been breached before."
Wang Long's heart stirred as he quickly asked, "Oh? Who could have invaded deep into Dragon Mound?"
Liu Hongchuan glanced at the various Dragon Heads present and whispered, "It wasn't outsiders; it was actually the ancestors of these local Dragon Heads... At that time during the second generation of Dragon Heads, these Dragon Heads conspired together to rebel and managed to penetrate deep into Dragon Mound. Although they were ultimately defeated by the second generation of Dragon Head and fled, it is said that they obtained certain things from within Dragon Mound."
Wang Long looked at the various Dragon Heads present and noticed their expressions change significantly as if some hidden matters had been exposed.
The Xizhou Dragon Head then said, "At this point, there's nothing left to hide... Indeed, there is a peculiar object hidden within the Dragon Head's residence. It does not get wet in water or burned in fire; it is as smooth as jade yet as hard as iron. Even I do not know what it is; it has merely been passed down from the previous generation of Dragon Head."
"I thought it was some kind of ore, but it seems today..."
Wang Long said, "That's it! So it turns out... this fifth Dragon Bone is actually from around the Land of Return to Ruins, but it has been taken away by someone."
He paused and said solemnly, "Then I ask each of you to hand over your portion of the Dragon Bone from your respective states! However, I won't make things difficult for you; each Dragon Head will gain power and achieve cultivation in the Dragon Bone Realm!"
The crowd was overjoyed upon hearing this. Although they possessed such treasures, they were unable to refine or utilize them; they were merely decorations. However, now that Wang Long promised to help them improve their cultivation, it was an incredibly beneficial offer.
Wang Long still felt a bit distrustful of these Dragon Heads, as if they were the conquered people under the Human Emperor—there would always be some concerns about unexpected variables.
At this moment, all he could do was to use both kindness and authority to win their hearts.
However, he did not expect that the matter of the fifth Dragon Bone would be resolved so easily; for a moment, he felt quite relaxed.
As the Dragon Heads from various regions began to leave, only the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons and a few Elite Elders remained. Wang Long glanced around and then said in a deep voice, "How is that artifact coming along?"
"Sigh, it's difficult... After all, the artifact described by the Dragon Lord is far too profound and almost completely beyond our understanding. It will likely take quite a long time to fully complete," Liu Hongchuan said with embarrassment.
"That's fine... Once you all reach the Dragon Bone Realm, your understanding and application of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy will reach a new level, which will provide new insights into artifact crafting."
Wang Long sighed, "This artifact is my biggest gamble with the Human Emperor; its impact almost surpasses that of the surface-level results of our battles..."
"Elder Liu, Elder Li... I know you both find this matter quite challenging, but I suggest you study that artifact more thoroughly."
"The Dragon Without a Leader."
Li Mohai was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this Fierce Beast meant to be destroyed by the Dragon Lord?"
"Indeed, I initially had such thoughts, but I have changed my mind... Although this artifact is ominous and exudes a terrifying aura, it is truly an unfathomable object. It seems that the First Generation Dragon Head and the ancestors of the Li Family must have comprehended something to create it. If you can catch even a glimpse of its secrets, it should greatly aid in forging this artifact."
Wang Long waved his hand lightly and took out the Dragon Without a Leader from the Black Iron Ring, handing it over to Liu Hongchuan.
"Alright, now... what we can do is wait, wait for this treasure to be forged, wait for the Dragon Head Return, and wait for the list of the Four Sea Dragon Kings and the Serpent Demon Clan to be prepared."
"For these open battles, we can only do this for now... but I need to prepare for the final battle with the Human Emperor. Elders, I will leave this to you for now. In a month, I will definitely Return on time."
Wang Long smiled at Jiang Xue, who nodded and followed him out.
"Is the Dragon Head leaving again?" Wang Yuanxian couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, there's no other way... some things can only be done by me. However, with Elder Wang and the other elders here, I feel quite at ease."
Wang Long smiled, waved his hand helplessly, and took Jiang Xue out once more.
"We're going where?"
Jiang Xue asked curiously.
"To explore the truth of this world... the Human Emperor has already started to act, and I can't fall behind!" Wang Long chuckled as he walked toward the city gates.
