Chapter 3259: Honorary Elder of the Dragon Race

Long Wei explained the details about honorary elders.

The so-called honorary elder position could be said to be the highest honor the dragon race gives to outsiders, bar none.

There were quite a few benefits to being an honorary elder. For example, one could obtain some cultivation resources from the dragon race each year, such as origin crystals and various rare materials.

The dragon race’s territory contained several origin spirit veins of no low grade. However, the dragon race itself didn’t rely too much on origin spirit veins, which resulted in them having a large amount of origin crystals.

It was the same for rare materials. The dragon race also didn’t forge magical treasures and such, so various materials from dragon territory were in excess.

Although the dragon race didn’t use these things, it didn’t mean they were foolish. They also knew the value of these items.

Cultivation resources were just one of the benefits of being an honorary elder. There were some other benefits as well.

An honorary elder’s authority was equivalent to that of an elder within the dragon race. Elders were among the upper echelons of the dragon race, and only divine dragons could become elders.

So once one became an honorary elder, sacred giant dragons and elemental giant dragons would all bow at their feet.

In addition, when the dragon race’s ancestral grounds opened, honorary elders were qualified to enter and bathe in the ancestral blood.

The effects of the dragon race’s ancestral blood were extremely powerful, with great benefits for cultivation.

Long Wei didn’t specify exactly how great the benefits were.

In the past, the Three Ancestors and the Beast Emperor had bathed in the ancestral blood.

After listening, Lin Moyu’s thoughts raced.

What he was thinking was different from what Long Wei had said.

In Lin Moyu’s eyes, whether origin crystals or rare materials, they were all dispensable things.

As for status and position, he cared even less.

Status and position were given by one’s fists, not comparable to a mere title.

What Lin Moyu really cared about was destiny.

Becoming an honorary elder, to some extent, meant being connected to the dragon race.

Part of the dragon race’s destiny would fall on him. As long as nothing happened to the dragon race, his own destiny would certainly increase greatly.

But if something happened to the dragon race, his destiny would be diminished as a result.

The pros and cons needed to be weighed.

The dragon race’s crisis had just passed. In theory, they shouldn’t face danger again in the short term.

Lin Moyu had also observed the dragon race’s destiny along the way. The dragon race’s destiny was indeed very prosperous, no wonder the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch had targeted the dragon race’s destiny first.

But he thought even further, he thought of Antares.

Antares might kill his way to the dragon race in the future. Although what Antares really wanted to kill was the dragon race in the Great Dao, not the dragon race on the Origin Continent.

But the dragon race in the Great Dao would also affect the destiny of the dragon race on the Origin Continent.

In that case, if he was an honorary elder of the dragon race, wouldn’t he also be affected, thus diminishing his destiny?

If the dragon race’s destiny was damaged because of Antares, then the damaged portion of destiny would fall on Antares. But Antares was also a member of the dragon race, so in the end that destiny still belonged to the dragon race.

Thinking of it this way, the whole matter became incredibly complicated and difficult to calculate.

With Lin Moyu’s current level of comprehension of the Destiny Great Dao, he still couldn’t truly calculate the gains and losses.

After Long Wei finished speaking, seeing Lin Moyu in thought, she didn’t rush him.

With a crisp shattering sound, Little Mei finished absorbing the power in the dragon liver.

At this point, Little Mei’s realm was on the edge of breaking through to the Transcendent realm. Just a little further and she would reach the Transcendent realm.

Long Wei watched in amazement. Normally, if Little Mei ate one portion of dragon liver, she would either explode and die, or her cultivation would skyrocket. Forget about the Transcendent realm, reaching the next realm up would be normal.

But Little Mei was different. She neither exploded and died, nor did her realm increase by much. It even made Long Wei doubt if the dragon liver she provided was fake.

Lin Moyu looked at Little Mei, "How do you feel?"

Little Mei said, "I feel my power has increased a lot, but I’m still a bit hungry."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Then eat a bit more."

Little Mei obediently ate another portion of dragon liver and began absorbing again.

At this time, Lin Moyu said to Long Wei, "Since Clan Leader Long has kindly invited me, Lin will not decline."

Seeing Lin Moyu agree, a brilliant smile immediately appeared on Long Wei’s face.

She looked extremely happy and raised her wine cup, "Then from now on, Mr. Lin is an honorary elder of our dragon race."

After draining the cup in one gulp, Long Wei ordered Ao Luo, "Announce this matter, let all the elders know."

At the same time, she took out a dragon scale. The scale was very exquisite, obviously refined, with ten divine dragons engraved on it.

Long Wei handed the dragon scale to Lin Moyu, "Once Mr. Lin refines this dragon scale, you will have the dragon race’s aura. Other dragon race members will be able to know Mr. Lin’s status."

Lin Moyu’s soul power moved, falling onto the dragon scale.

The dragon scale instantly burst with brilliant light. The next second, the dragon scale rapidly shrank and entered Lin Moyu’s body.

A unique aura surged from Lin Moyu’s body. This aura was unique to the dragon race. Ordinary people couldn’t detect it, but dragons could easily sense it.

Dragons could judge someone’s status through this aura. In other dragons’ eyes, Lin Moyu was now a dragon race elder, an elder second only to the clan leader in status.

The refinement was completed almost instantly. Long Wei couldn’t help but look with shining eyes, "Elder Lin, what a powerful soul."

Lin Moyu’s soul level was extremely high. His soul realm was not as high as Long Wei’s, but in terms of the innate level of the soul itself, he far surpassed Long Wei.

Lin Moyu’s soul level had at least reached the eighth grade innate soul, comparable to Little Yue’s innate jade soul.

So he refined various magical treasures ridiculously fast.

Lin Moyu chuckled lightly, "Just a coincidence. Can’t compare to the clan leader."

But Long Wei didn’t think so. She said very seriously, "With Elder Lin’s potential, your future achievements are far beyond what we can imagine. So it’s our honor that Elder Lin agreed to become an honorary elder of our clan."

Lin Moyu smiled. Long Wei’s words were just polite, not to be taken seriously.

The group chatted happily as they drank. After absorbing the second portion of dragon liver, Little Mei successfully broke through to the Transcendent realm, officially becoming a cultivator.

But the higher her realm, the more Little Mei felt she couldn’t eat enough.

With Lin Moyu’s approval, she continued eating dragon liver, constantly absorbing and digesting, her realm growing stronger and stronger.

One portion of dragon liver wasn’t much to begin with, and almost all of it went into Little Mei’s stomach.

Lin Moyu only tasted a small portion and didn’t eat any more.

The dragon liver was of little use to him. At his level, ordinary things could no longer provide help.

Perhaps dragon liver from a Great Dao realm being would be somewhat useful. Dragon liver from the Dao Venerable realm probably wouldn’t be of much use.

After all the dragon liver was eaten, Little Mei’s realm was approaching the True God realm.

A path that would take others hundreds of years to walk, Little Mei completed in the time it took to eat a meal.

Lin Moyu knew very clearly that probably only Little Mei could do this in this world. Even Little Yue couldn’t do it.

Although Little Yue had an innate jade soul and no bottlenecks in cultivation, she still needed to constantly solidify her foundation.

Only Little Mei didn’t need to, because her foundation had already been solidified in her previous life.

So in this life, as long as she had the opportunity, she could constantly improve.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Clan Leader, Lin has an unreasonable request."

Long Wei said, "Please speak, Elder Lin. As long as Long Wei can do it, I won’t refuse."

Lin Moyu said, "I wonder when the ancestral grounds will open. Lin would like this disciple to also enter and bathe in the ancestral blood."
