”President, according to what you said, that Dragon-staff should be very precious?”
Guo Nan restrained his cold smile and ridicule and asked seriously.
Ming Hong said: ”It's very precious, but it's not worth anything, it depends on how you think. From the perspective of the symbol of imperial power, it was very precious, but without it, the Heavenly Empire did not have any problems, and it was not very important either. Perhaps there really was something inside that could destroy the entire continent. No one dared to try, as they didn't know if it was real or fake. I also hope that we will never know if it's true or not. ”
Ming Hong's intention was clear, don't try to open the Dragon-staff.
It was possible that it was fake, and that the possibility was high.
But what if it was true? There was a one in ten thousand chance of that happening, and he couldn't even try.
”If it's such an overpowered thing, why would it be in a place like Heavenly Empire?” Guo Nan asked.
”I don't know the specifics, but there are some rumors that sound like a fantasy story. After so many years, many people have already forgotten about it.”
”What rumor?” Tell me about it. ”
Ming Hong thought for a moment, then said: ”At the time when Heavenly Empire was established, the Dugu Family was the orthodox method, with the highest possibility of becoming the Royal Family. But later, it was said that the void was torn apart, and a passage appeared. The person who found the Dugu Family said something, and the people from the Dugu Family gave up on his identity as the Royal Family, giving him his identity as the Royal Family. It was precisely because of this that the Nangong Imperial Clan had always taken good care of the Dugu Family. Even in the recent century, the Dugu Family had always stood firmly by the side of the Dugu Family, and would absolutely not allow the eight great Family s to become Seven Great Families s. The status of the Nan Gong Family was given to them by the Dugu Family. ”
A wistful look appeared in Ming Hong's eyes, and he continued, ”At that time, when strong person appeared, he left behind many Cultivation Methods s, and Heavenly Empire entered a glorious period of prosperity. Only later on, when no one knew what happened, those strong Cultivation Methods mysteriously disappeared, and even the Dugu Family did not manage to inherit those things. The Heavenly Empire was gradually weakening and by now, its size had shrunk to about six times of its original size. When the Heavenly Empire was at its strongest, how could there be an empire like the Qijiang Empire? Now, the territories of the six great empires are all the Heavenly Empire s of the past. ”
”As for Dragon-staff, they appeared after the disappearance of the powerful Cultivation Methods, which flourished for a few hundred years. The Dragon-staff must be hiding some secret, but the generations of Tianwu Academy do not dare to try it. ”
As he spoke till here, Ming Hong's expression became somewhat strange. He gave Guo Nan a deep glance, and became silent.
Guo Nan suddenly thought that this old fellow had purposely said all these, could it be that he wanted him to try?
He did not dare, nor did he dare to take responsibility. He knew that his curiosity was heavy …
”A scheming guy. He really did reveal it to me on purpose. He wanted me to break the rules.”
”How would you know that the so-called demon has already let me be its master?”
”If the Primordial Blood Demon Dragon is not properly controlled, it's indeed a demon.”
Guo Nan thought for a while, then said while nodding: ”President, I will remember your words.”
”Well, there's something else I can tell you. Back then, when the Heavenly Empire was at its most powerful, those powerful Cultivation Methods s were all passed down from the Dugu Family. Afterwards, the Dugu Family experienced a great disaster, and all the higher ups died, and those who had cultivated the Cultivation Methods also died. And that Dragon-staff, was the main culprit behind that catastrophe. The gem on top of the Dragon-staff had endless power. When the Dragon-staff appeared from thin air, the gem emitted light that spanned hundreds of millions of miles. Those who had cultivated in the past were all killed in an instant. ”
”Later on, the Dragon-staff fell and became dull and lifeless. However, it issued a warning, that is exactly what I said before. It cannot be opened, otherwise the demons would appear and destroy everything in its wake.”
Saying that, Ming Hong thought that there was nothing else he could add.
He cupped his fists at Guo Nan and said: ”Everything is a legend. It's been so long, who knows the truth?”
”Goodbye.”
Ming Hong left. Guo Nan stood in his original position, carefully reflecting on the meaning behind Ming Hong's words.
