Indeed, he remains very cautious and meticulous.

From the beginning, he clearly stated the conditions of victory and defeat to avoid any disputes from the Azure Dragon Race.

"Blue Pool?"

Cang Ji and Cangqiong, along with others from the Azure Dragon Race, seemed somewhat displeased.

"Cang Cheng is still at the Dragon King Realm, and the Blue Pool is generally only accessible at the Early-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm, isn't this excessive!"

The Cyan Dragon Emperor chuckled.

He deliberately taunted, "What, don't you have confidence in your own Dragon Emperor?"

"Or do you secretly think he isn't a Dragon at all?"

"You..."

Cang Ji was angered and was about to continue negotiating for a lower standard when Brother Cheng spoke up.

"Fine, the Blue Pool it is then!"

"Since the standard is set, I should also propose my terms."

The Cyan Dragon Emperor shook his head and sighed, "You're really waiting for disaster before shedding tears."

Brother Cheng didn't care what he thought, since the one crying in the end definitely wouldn't be him.

"Your Cyan Dragon Race has fought many battles against the Immortal and Demon Realms over the years, shouldn't there be quite a lot of war spoils?"

He smiled amiably and rubbed his fingers together, "If I reach the Blue Pool, then everyone in Cyan Dragon Valley must hand over all war spoils as compensation, whether they be Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Armor, Magical Treasures, Pills, Immortal Crystals, Cultivation Techniques, or Martial Techniques!"

This...

Everyone present, both Dragons and the Human Race, inhaled sharply.

The condition stated wasn't low; rather, it was too high.

Although the Cyan Dragon Emperor has preferred to remain secluded, the general environment of the Demon Race has ensured that battles against the Immortal and Demon Realms have never truly ceased.

The scale of these conflicts hasn't been as large, with neither Dragon Emperors nor Immortal Emperors personally getting involved.

However, this represents accumulation over hundreds of billions of years!

Even if a significant portion has been traded with the Celestial Pavilion for Dragon resources, the overall quantity is too vast, and the remaining portions are still tremendously valuable.

Especially since Cyan Dragon Valley is preserved as the most intact and strongest faction among the Dragon Race.

Conservative estimates suggest that there are likely no fewer than 20 Tier Eight Immortal Artifacts, and possibly over a thousand Tier Seven.

After all, the Cyan Dragon Emperor, having lived for so many years, also has a knack for collecting artifacts.

It might even possess Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts.

These items aren't necessarily useful for the Dragon Race, but their value is well understood.

Brother Cheng's demands cannot be described even as a lion's roar.

Even the Cyan Dragon Emperor was shocked by his voracity and nearly backed down.

To hand over all war spoils from Cyan Dragon Valley was certainly something he was unwilling to do.

But upon careful thought, Jiang Cheng is clearly a Human, with no tricks up his sleeve, making it impossible for him to lose.

He must be intentionally bluffing, trying to scare him into backing down.

Thus... he mustn't be intimidated!

The Great Emperor decisively agreed!

"Fine, I accept!"

"Cang Ling, you heard that!"

"This agreement is now effective, and nobody is allowed to go back on it!"

With these words spoken, a dazzling array of rules appeared in harmony around them.

The wager was established, forming a law that even those below the Quasi-Emperor realm cannot defy!

Despite Cang Ling only having a trace of consciousness left, the Cyan Dragon Emperor cared most about her, not Brother Cheng.

In fact, he originally planned to take action himself and restrain or even kill Jiang Cheng.

If Cang Ling hadn't intervened, he would never have bothered with the cumbersome formalities of using the Dragon Sealing Pool.

That pool, when first activated, cost the three Dragon Emperors considerable cultivation.

Now, activating it alone would naturally demand a greater price.

The entire Three Valleys Dragon Race mobilized to bear witness at the Dragon Sealing Pool.

And at the Cyan Dragon Emperor's insistence, all Human Race Cultivators residing within Azure Dragon Valley also had to attend.

He planned to expel these Human Race Cultivators as soon as Jiang Cheng failed.

Yet this played perfectly into Brother Cheng's hands.

The larger the crowd, the higher the Shock Value, and his disciples were all stronger than the Demon Kings.

A few hours later, the Dragon Sealing Pool, located in the center of the Three Valleys, was packed with people.

Ah no, teeming with Dragons.

Many Dragons from the other two valleys were seeing this newly appointed Azure Dragon Emperor for the first time.

Compared to the full support of Azure Dragon Valley, the tens of thousands of Dragons from the other valleys clearly put their faith in the Cyan Dragon Emperor.

Each one pointed at Brother Cheng, truly treating him as a member of the Human Race.

Some Dragons from Cyan Dragon Valley even showed looks of hatred and hostility.

"Hello everyone!"

"Pleasure to meet you all..."

Brother Cheng, as flamboyant as ever, treated it like his debut conference.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much Shock Value this time.

Cang Ling, watching from the shadows, was also slightly puzzled.

"Can't you see they're showing you animosity?"

"Oh, doesn't that show I'm captivating their hearts?"

To Brother Cheng, the focus was whether the spotlight was sufficiently bright, and whether he was the center of attention.

Whether it was support or animosity, he completely disregarded it.

Even the Azure Dragon Empress found herself nearly undone by his antics.

"You're indeed unique; I'm suddenly rather intrigued."

"You only start anticipating my performance now? I feel slightly disappointed..."

While the two bantered and laughed, the Cyan Dragon Emperor was busy working hard above.

Under his 'efforts,' nine pools of differing colors gradually appeared on a giant mountain in the center.

Even though they were mere illusions, they emanated an aura so forbidding that it was hard to approach.

Many Dragons close to them fell from the heights, hurriedly flying back to a safer distance.

Some Dragons present were born later and saw these pools for the first time; naturally, they were curious.

Yet those old Dragons who had entered before looked on with trepidation.

"This Dragon Sealing Pool is akin to purgatory!"

"Indeed, I entered Cyan Pool back in the day and have no desire to recall the experience ever again."

"Elder, is it truly that terrifying?"

"Terrifying? Imagine your entire body being crushed piece by piece, your blood igniting — so hot you feel you might melt, how awful an experience that is."

"And it's not just that; even the dragon soul suffers massive impact."

"Agreed, back then I was nearly driven mad by the chaos induced."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Dragon Sealing Pool, despite being able to strengthen our dragon bones, hasn't been activated for hundreds of billions of years?"

"It's because in that test years ago, a dozen True Dragons overestimated themselves and rashly charged forward, ultimately perishing inside."

"Ah, this..."

From hearing their words, many Dragons around, who originally were eager to try, all reconsidered.

However, Brother Cheng was brimming with enthusiasm.

The tougher the challenge, the faster his demise!

At this moment, the entire nine pools on the giant mountain were fully visible.

The nine pools with distinguishable colors were staggered from bottom to top, with the highest Black Pool at the summit.

Mist enveloped the surface of the pools, with no apparent anomaly to the eye.

Yet with simple Immortal Soul perception, one would immediately feel an extremely terrifying sense of chaos and destruction, as though countless claws were tearing at them, or countless dragon roars echoed deep within consciousness.

And this was just the effect of the Yellow Pool at the mountain's base.
