Chapter 190 - 190: Arriving at the Dragon Valley, Great Gan’s First Battle Defeated
The Dragon Valley was not a place where dragons lived. It was the name of a city.
The reason why it was called Dragon Valley was because there was a mountain range that looked like a true dragon in the south of the city.
What was even more surprising was that from above, the entire Dragon Valley City was captured by a true dragon.
It meant that this city was so important that even the True Dragon Race would fight for it.
Of course, there was another explanation.
Dragon Valley City was a dragon egg of the True Dragon Tribe, and it was currently being hatched by the True Dragon Tribe.
Regardless of the explanation, it was to highlight the importance of Dragon Valley City.
Dragon Valley City was not very important in terms of strategic position. The reason why it was valued by the two lord dynasties was because there was a mineral vein buried under Dragon Valley City.
It was not an ordinary mine, but a spirit stone mine.
Of course, it was not an ordinary Spiritual Stone Mine. It was a Spiritual Stone Mine that could produce Spiritual Crystals!
The so-called spirit crystal was a special spirit stone that was born when the spirit energy in the spirit stone mine reached a certain level.
In terms of the amount of spiritual energy, a spiritual crystal was equivalent to ten thousand spiritual stones.
Of course, the benefits of Spiritual Crystals were not limited to the amount of Spiritual Qi. The quality of Spiritual Qi was also better than that of ordinary Spiritual Stones.
If it was just the spiritual energy, it would be fine, but above the Zifu level, if the mighty figures wanted to advance their cultivation, they had to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit crystals.
To put it bluntly, the quality of ordinary spiritual energy was no longer enough to satisfy the mighty figures on stage.
As a necessity for the cultivation of mighty figures, the value of these Spiritual Crystals was self-evident.
The reason why the two dynasties fought for the Dragon Valley was because of the Spiritual Stone mine under the Dragon Bone City that could produce Spiritual Crystals.
“So, the reason why Dragon Valley City was built is to protect the mineral veins under the city.”On the large flying chariot, Chen Yang looked at the Duke of Deshun.
After listening to Deshun Commandery Prince’s narration, Chen Yang finally understood the reason for the war between Great Qian and Great Kun.
With such a precious mineral vein, Yang Chen was the Human King, so he would also make such a decision.
After all, Great Gan was stronger than Great Kun, so why didn’t they snatch the mine back?
However, Yang Chen did not understand one thing. How could Great Kun be weaker than Great Qian when it controlled such a mineral vein?
Seemingly noticing Chen Yang’s confusion, the Deshun Commandery Prince looked into the distance, a trace of undetectable resentment in his eyes.
“Are you still wondering why Great Kun is weaker than our Great Qian Dynasty despite controlling the mineral vein?”
Yang Chen nodded his head. This was really hard to understand. Could it be that Great Kun had produced a fatuous ruler?
“In fact, it’s not just the Great Kun. Any dynasty in the Endless Mountains will be weakened when they control a Spiritual Crystal mine.”Deshun Commandery Prince said.
“Why?” Yang Chen asked.
“Do you know that all the dynasties in the Endless Mountain Range are under the command of one aristocratic family?
This family was a legendary fifth-rank family. In terms of strength, it would not be a problem for them to destroy all the dynasties.”
“It is also because of the rule of this family that any mineral vein that can produce Spiritual Crystals in the Endless Mountains belongs to this family.” “If another dynasty wants to mine Spiritual Crystals, they have to pay a large number of Spiritual Stones to that family every year.”
“Once there are fewer spirit stones, the strength of the dynasty will definitely decline. This is also why the Great Kun has occupied this mine, but its strength has weakened.”
“If the mighty figures want to maintain their cultivation level, they must use Spiritual Crystals to cultivate.”
“This is a poison, but we must swallow it.’The Deshun Commandery Prince smiled bitterly.
Yang Chen understood. It was like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Although he knew that this was a cup of poison, he would die after drinking it. But if you don’t drink it, you’ll die immediately.
“Master, what is this family called? Why haven’t I heard of the rise of the family?”Yang Chen asked.
Deshun Commandery Prince took a deep breath and said slowly,””This family is called the Li family. As for the fact that you haven’t heard of the Li family’s deeds, the answer is simple.”
“Outside the Endless Mountains?”
“That’s right, outside the Endless Mountains.” The Deshun Commandery Prince nodded.” A thousand years ago, a powerful aristocratic family suddenly appeared here.”
“The moment this aristocratic family appeared, they took control of all the mighty figures on stage. Forcing us to sign an agreement and become a vassal force of the Li family.”
“Under this agreement, all the treasures in the Endless Mountains will belong to the Li family.
Of course, the Li family didn’t care about ordinary treasures. This rule was mainly for treasures such as Spiritual Crystals that could help increase one’s cultivation.”
Listening to Deshun Commandery Prince’s narration, Chen Yang could guess the strength of the Li family.
However, Chen Yangyou couldn’t understand.” Master, why would such a powerful family come to such a remote place like ours?”
“Because the Li family is also a failure.”The Deshun Commandery Prince laughed disdainfully.
“Loser?” Chen Yang looked at Deshun Prince in puzzlement. Where did his master hear such gossip from?
“I have a friend who told me this secret,” the Prince of Deshun explained.” “Legend has it that a thousand years ago, the Li family, as a branch family, angered the main branch and was exiled here by the main branch.” “What?” Yang Chen’s eyes widened.” Such a powerful aristocratic family is only a branch family? How powerful was the main family?”
“I’m not sure.” The Deshun Commandery Prince shook his head.” I only know that the main family is called the Li Family of Mianyang. I don’t know anything else.”
Mianyang’s Li family.
Yang Chen engraved this name into his mind. Such a powerful family would definitely have some interactions in the future..
