Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Fubo Dragon Monarch_1

The information obtained from the Maine Coon is closer to the Cultivation World, while the information obtained from the Fu Family is more geared towards the upper class of Great Xia as a whole.

By integrating the information from both sides, Shen Yuan got a more comprehensive view of the current situation in Great Xia.

Great Xia has ruled this land for three thousand years, and Shen Yuan believes that they absolutely must have prepared for the return of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge.

However, the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge has only just returned a few months ago, and Great Xia already shows signs of decline. There must be other reasons for this.

But after a brief contemplation, Shen Yuan set this thought aside.

“What does the situation in Great Xia have to do with me?”

“Even though I possess Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, I’m too weak compared to the mighty Great Xia’s Imperial Court, and I couldn’t possibly affect it.

Furthermore, I’m not interested in getting involved in the internal struggle of Great Xia. I aim to be free and attain eternal life.”

Looking at the anxious Maine Coon, Shen Yuan nodded and continued to ask: “What do you know about the Aquatic Tribe in Yun Province?”

The aquatic monsters may belong to the monster tribe, but due to the influence of the Dragon Sovereign, they have formed their own branch known as the Aquatic Tribe.

However, the Aquatic Tribe is essentially part of the monster tribe, and there should have been some exchange between them. Shen Yuan could perhaps glean some information by asking the Maine Coon.

If he could locate a place with a large gathering of the Aquatic Tribe, he could certainly determine that there is a Natural Spirit Pool in that water area. Only a Natural Spirit Pool can provide the abundant Spirit Energy needed by the Aquatic Tribe.

The Maine Coon hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to ask about the Aquatic Tribe, so it furrowed its brows in deep thought.

After a while, the Maine Coon finally began to express its doubts:

“At the monster tribe trading fair on Yunfu Mountain, an Essence Refining Stage crab demon claimed to be from the Canglan River, but it was unclear which water area of the Canglan River it comes from.”

The Canglan River, which runs through Yun Province and Lan Province, is a famous river in Great Xia territory. In ancient times, it was one of the water areas controlled by a Dragon Sovereign.

A large river like this must surely have a Natural Spirit Pool, but without knowing the exact water area, this information is meaningless.

If he were going to search along the Canglan River, this process would probably take months, which is hardly worth it for Shen Yuan.

Looking somewhat disappointed, Shen Yuan shook his head and sighed:

“Forget it, since that’s the case…”

Before he could finish speaking, the Maine Coon suddenly perked up as if it had remembered something:

“I remember now! Fubo Pond, located just outside Lake Dongting, seems to be occupied by a group of the Aquatic Tribe. These aquatic creatures have chased away all the humans within dozens of miles and have claimed Fubo Pond as their territory.

According to other members of the monster tribe at the trading fair, there is a Fubo Dragon Monarch in Fubo Pond. He is a considerable figure.”

Upon hearing the words ‘Dragon Monarch’, Shen Yuan was initially taken aback, but then he quickly realized that this was not a true Dragon Monarch.

One needs to know that to be conferred the title of ‘Dragon Monarch’ by Dragon Tribe, one must be a Spirit Refining Demon King at the very least, who definitely cannot exist in this world.

If it were a true Dragon Monarch, they could have taken advantage of the recent return of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge to dominate the Four Waterways and become one of the overlords of the Aquatic Tribe. They wouldn’t be hiding in an obscure location like Fubo Pond.

This so-called ‘Fubo Dragon Monarch’ is probably just a character similar to those of Pond Dragon King and Water-well Dragon King.

Either way, since they have been able to give birth to the initial form of water, it proves that there is indeed a Natural Spirit Pool in Fubo Pond.

“It’s a pity that the Spirit Pool is already occupied.”

Shen Yuan felt some regret but he didn’t entertain any thoughts of forcefully seizing it.

If he were to seize a Natural Spirit Pool today after breaking through to Essence Refining to Qi Transformation, then what would he do after advancing to an even higher stage in the future? Would he continue his path with continuous plundering?

Whilst it’s true that cultivation necessitates following one’s heart, to act recklessly for personal gain and accumulate karma and sins, one would ultimately struggle to attain the Eternal Life Dao.

So, upon learning that Fubo Pond has an owner, Shen Yuan changed his mind.

But just then, the Maine Coon suddenly spoke:

“Lord True Monarch, do you inquire about the Aquatic Tribe for a particular reason?”

Shen Yuan saw no reason to hide anything and replied casually: “I’m just planning to borrow the Aquatic Tribe’s Natural Spirit Pool for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Maine Coon’s eyes lit up, and it quickly responded:

“Before I returned to Wenn City, I heard from the various monsters on Yunfu Mountain that the Fubo Dragon Monarch wishes to build his Dragon Palace and will be hosting a feast for all guests at Fubo Pond.

Fubo Dragon Monarch must have some substantial backing to be able to host such a feast. There must be a Natural Spirit Pool in his territory. Lord True Monarch, you can come with me to the feast and then ask Fubo Dragon Monarch to borrow his Spirit Pool.”

In the eyes of the Maine Coon, Shen Yuan, the distinguished Void Refining True Monarch, is practically an invincible existence in the current world, where the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge has just revived.

The moment he opens his mouth, Fubo Dragon Monarch will undoubtedly not dare to refuse.

But when these words fell into Shen Yuan’s ears, they meant something else.

“Inviting guests from all over to a banquet? It’s an opportunity for contact, but Fubo Dragon Monarch definitely doesn’t want to show the Natural Spirit Pool lightly to others.

If I could offer something that could appeal to Fubo Dragon Monarch, I might just get the chance to trade for it.

After all, even though the Natural Spirit Pool is rare at the beginning of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, it’s not an exclusive artifact.”

When it comes to trading, the first thing Shen Yuan thought of naturally was the storage magic artifact.

Great Xia had been through a three-thousand-year period of Spirit Energy depletion, and the storage magic artifacts that survived through this long period were few and far between. There’s no need to mention how precious storage magic artifacts are.

If Shen Yuan chose to trade a storage magic artifact for the use of the Natural Spirit Pool, it’s very likely that Fubo Dragon Monarch would accept the trade.

With this thought, Shen Yuan’s mind suddenly broadened, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

The only problem now is that crafting a storage magic artifact requires spirit objects. The Fu Family is still collecting spirit objects and has not responded yet, so he needs to think of other ways to get them.

His gaze shifted, and Shen Yuan looked straight at the Maine Coon in front of him.

“Being a transformed monster that returned from Yunfu Mountain, you should be among the top ranks in the monster tribe. You should have some spirit objects, right?”

With this thought, Shen Yuan directly asked, “Do you have any spirit objects on you?”

Shen Yuan’s sudden change of topic stupefied the Maine Coon, and after a while, it hurriedly nodded and said:

“Yes, yes!”

The Maine Coon clenched its right paw into a fist and struck its chest, regurgitating a small piece of Spirit Wood the length of a finger from its throat.

This method is common among monsters that lack magical treasures. They store precious items inside their bodies and retrieve them as needed.

The Spirit Wood, wrapped in a layer of demonic energy, was not contaminated with any dirt. The light purple Spirit Wood had patterns similar to auspicious clouds and exuded a peculiar fragrance.

The Maine Coon respectfully offered up the Spirit Wood and quickly said:

“This object is called Yunfu Purple Sandalwood, a special product of Yunfu Mountain. When burned, it can calm the mind, consolidate the spirits, and drive away inner demons. It is a top-quality ingredient for medicine refining.

If the True Monarch uses it, it can be combined with…”

Before the Maine Coon could finish speaking, Shen Yuan flicked his finger, and the sword light directly split the Yunfu Purple Sandalwood into three parts.

The words stuck in the Maine Coon’s throat, its eyes filled with regret for the waste.

The medicinal properties of Yunfu Purple Sandalwood increase with their length. A finger-length piece of Yunfu Purple Sandalwood is incredibly valuable, the most precious thing it obtained from Yunfu Mountain.

Shen Yuan casually split it into three pieces, causing the Maine Coon to feel immense pangs of loss.

Using his finger as a knife, Shen Yuan carved away the excess part of the Spirit Wood in his hand, slowly turning it into an extraordinarily rough purple wood ring.

After looking it over for a moment, Shen Yuan casually tossed the purple wood ring to the Maine Coon.

“Here, take it!”

The Maine Coon took the ring made of Yunfu Purple Sandalwood. It looked more like a child’s toy, even the burrs had not been polished off smoothly.

“Use your Divine Sense to look inside.”

Listening to Shen Yuan, the Maine Coon extended its Divine Sense to observe, and a separate space suddenly unfolded from the ring.

“A storage magic artifact!”

The Maine Coon looked at the rough ring on its finger, its face filled with shock.

“Lord True Monarch, this…”

“It’s just a trinket made from your Spirit Wood, nothing more than an experimental creation, you can keep it.”

Shen Yuan spoke casually, but his words left the Maine Coon in indescribable shock.

The creation of a storage magic artifact from a piece of ordinary Spirit Wood, without any inscription of magic patterns or the use of Void Stone to open up storage space, far exceeded the Maine Coon’s understanding.

But as Shen Yuan was carving his second creation, he seemed to remember something and said to the Maine Coon:

“By the way, don’t call me Lord True Monarch, I’m no True Monarch.”

“You can call me… Sir.”
