Compared to the towering mountains and precipitous ridges in the outer layer of the island, the core of the island was a vast plain. It was boundless, with no end in sight.
Xiao Fan and the others had already walked for an entire night, but they were still surrounded by plains. They still did not see any mountains or valleys.
Along the way, Xiao Fan and the others came across many heavenly resources. Some of the heavenly resources had already grown for tens of thousands of years, or even longer. Any single one of them could be exchanged for an unimaginable amount of wealth.
Xiao Fan did not collect any of the heavenly resources, but he stopped and carefully examined them for a long time.
The island was related to Ye Ke 'er, and Ye Ke' er was related to that era. As a result, the island's origins could be deduced from that era.
Logically speaking, the heavenly treasures on the island should be incomparably precious. Unfortunately, that era had been severed. The heavenly treasures that originally belonged to that era on the island had long been turned into ashes.
The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the island today were all grown with the help of the roots of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the previous era. Among them, there were extremely rare fragments of growth factors. The medicinal efficacy they contained was also very different from that of heaven and earth. Therefore, Xiao Fan was not interested in them.
However, they were ultimately related to the heavenly resources of that era, so Xiao Fan stared at them for a long time, attempting to deduce some things about that era through them.
Although Xiao Fan did not think much of them, Xing Qing's eyes shone as if she had obtained a treasure. She harvested all the precious heavenly resources she passed by, basically leaving nothing behind for her descendants.
Just like that!
When the sky began to brighten, a boundlessly grand palace appeared on the horizon in the distance. Even though it was already in ruins, it still gave off a boundless aura of luxury. It was enough to make people want to prostrate themselves in worship. It appeared at the end of Xiao Fan's line of sight.
Immediately, Xiao Fan raised his foot and rushed towards the palace. Akira Yuki, Xing Qing, and the Magic Sword and Kōjirō all followed.
A while later!
Xiao Fan and the others had already arrived in front of the palace.
Only when he stood in front of the palace did he realize that it was much more magnificent than when he had seen it from afar. Every brick on the walls was actually the extremely rare Dragon Blood Gold Brick!
What was the Dragon Blood Gold Brick?
That was to use the dragons as laborers and make them use the Luo Water Gold Bricks as raw materials to build palaces. The Luo Water Gold Bricks were incomparably heavy. Even if the dragons were to move them, they would be so tired that they would vomit blood.
Then, when the dragon's blood fell on the Luo Water Gold Brick and seeped into it, it became the extremely rare Dragon Blood Gold Brick.
Every piece of Dragon Blood Gold Brick was something that countless people would go crazy over in the Upper Prefecture, let alone in the Lower Prefecture. Here, at least ten thousand Dragon Blood Gold Bricks were used to build a palace. It was simply unbelievable!
"Excluding the leftover materials, this palace has a total of 10,008 dragon blood gold bricks!" In the end, the Magic Sword quickly circled the entire palace and returned to its original spot. Then, it opened its mouth and said thoughtfully, "Every Dragon Blood Gold Brick is ten miles long, ten miles wide, and ten miles tall. At least three dragons are needed to move it!"
"The Dragon Blood Gold Brick, or the Luo Water Gold Brick, only takes three days to form. Once the time is up, the Luo Water Gold Brick will melt and cease to exist!"
"Therefore, this palace can only be built in three days. It must have required the cooperation of over thirty thousand dragons!"
"The owner of this palace is really generous. He actually controlled over thirty thousand dragons to work for him just to build this palace!"
"Not bad, good taste. I like it!"
"Controlled over thirty thousand dragons?" In the end, the Magic Sword said to itself. Xing Qing and Kōjirō's expressions changed drastically when they heard the Magic Sword's words. They were so shocked that their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
The dragons were one of the ten strongest clans in the Central imperial realm.
With such a high status, who would dare to control them? Who would dare to directly control over thirty thousand dragons?
One had to know that there were no more than a hundred thousand dragons in the entire Central imperial realm. Thirty thousand dragons was close to a third of the total strength of the dragon clan.
Controlling a third of the dragon clan's strength to build a palace and using the dragons as labor? To the extent that they would vomit blood?
They didn't even dare to think about such a thing. It was too terrifying, too shocking!
"There weren't as few dragons in that era as there are now!" As if he saw the shock on Xing Qing and Kōjirō's faces, Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "There were more than a million dragons. Thirty thousand dragons only accounted for a few tenths of the total dragon clan back then. The difficulty of building this palace isn't as exaggerated as you think!"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xing Qing and Kōjirō's expressions relaxed a little. However, it was only a little. They were still extremely shocked. Their hearts were in turmoil and they couldn't calm down at all.
Even if there were more than a million dragons in that era, the dragon clan was still the dragon clan. They were one of the ten strongest clans. They dominated the world and reigned supreme. How could they be controlled so casually?
They really couldn't imagine who the owner of this palace was. He actually dared to control thirty thousand dragons as labor and exhaust them to the point of vomiting blood just to build a palace for himself?
"Let me think. There were only a few people in that era who had the ability to do so!" In the end, Magic Sword pondered and muttered to himself, "Although the dragon clan was extremely tyrannical in that era and there was more than one Ancestral Dragon suppressing the dragon clan's fate, those few people were simply heaven-defying existences. Even the dragon clan could only lower their heads in front of them!"
"But that's not right. Those few people were all!"
In the end, Magic Sword's voice became softer and softer. The rest of his words couldn't be heard at all. Even though Xing Qing and Kōjirō were extremely excited and curious, there was nothing they could do.
Xiao Fan didn't say anything else. He just stood there and quietly looked at the dragon-blood-gold-bricked palace. His gloomy eyes were boundlessly silent. They were as deep as the vast universe, filled with an indescribable vastness.
The person who could build this palace was qualified to be Xiao Fan's opponent. After returning to the Central imperial realm for so long, the owner of this palace was considered an existence that Xiao Fan could truly stand on equal footing with him.
Therefore, at this moment, Xiao Fan also treated the other party with respect. He no longer didn't care about it.
After standing still for a moment!
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Xiao Fan said. Then, he lifted his foot and walked in. In the end, Magic Sword and the others immediately followed. The group directly entered the dragon-blood-gold-bricked palace without a door.
