Chapter 345: The Great Dragon Assembly_2
```
He specifically came to the Dragon Emperor Realm, could he be looking for me?
Qiu Wanshan startled himself with his bold thought.
But he quickly dismissed the idea, it probably wasn't so, if someone wanted to trouble him, they could have detained him in Great Xia instead of letting him go.
What's he doing in the Dragon Emperor Giant City?
Qiu Wanshan suddenly recalled the question Chen Xing had asked him that day.
His pupils dilated with the thought of an audacious possibility.
His heart was pounding wildly.
His arms were trembling, nervous yet excited, he thought of a scheme to gain a massive amount of Divine Power.
Glancing at his second-in-command, Qiu Wanshan stabilized his emotions, "Fine, so he's come, let him be, don't mind him."
Qiu Wanshan uttered nonchalantly.
...
Chen Xing strolled around the city and soon found the registration point for the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the registration point.
He thought of the spot he had traded for with Ming Junting.
It seemed a shame to use it.
But if he did, he would expose his identity.
He was here to conduct the business of a Grave Robbing Colonel, and it would be troublesome if his cover was blown.
With that in mind, Chen Xing prepared to leave.
At that moment, a nimble-looking man ran over from the entrance of the registration point, giving Chen Xing a knowing look.
Chen Xing looked at him, perplexed.
"Brother, I know you want to register but don't have a spot, but since you're here, don't you want to take part in the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool?" the man chuckled slyly, leaned in, and whispered, "I have an extra spot that belonged to a relative of mine. This spot has been in my hands for two years now, but his child had an accident, such a pity, couldn't take part in the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool."
Chen Xing's mouth twitched, as he seemed to grasp what the man before him was suggesting.
The man said, "It's a waste if this spot goes unused, and I see that we are fated. For a mere hundred thousand Spirit Gold, I'll give you this spot for free."
Chen Xing:...
Seeing that Chen Xing remained silent, the man continued, "Eighty thousand also works. To tell you the truth, the spot is legit, and our transaction is perfectly legal. You may not be aware, but every year, apart from allocating spots to the various powers from the outer regions, Dragon Emperor Giant City also provides quite a few spots to the locals here. These spots can be traded, it's a small benefit bestowed by the higher-ups to us, the locals of Dragon Emperor Giant City."
"No need." Chen Xing shook his head.
"Hey, do you think it's too expensive? If that's the case, I can negotiate a lower price when I get back, how about seventy-five thousand Spirit Gold?"
Chen Xing waved his hand, "I'm not participating in the competition."
And with that, he walked away.
The man glanced at Chen Xing's retreating figure, muttering to himself, not participating in the competition but came to browse the registration?
Probably just can't afford it but is too embarrassed to say so.
The man quickly found a new target, another youth in fancy clothes not far away.
...
Walking on the street, Chen Xing heard a faint voice.
"Lord Chen."
Chen Xing turned around, and there was Qiu Wanshan behind him, giving Chen Xing a slight smile.
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, "Qiu Wanshan?"
"Indeed." Qiu Wanshan clasped his hands in greeting.
"What is it?"
"I have a staggering fortune that I wish to share with Lord Chen."
```
Chen Xing found it amusing, realizing that Qiu Wanshan was also half a local and this was the perfect opportunity to inquire with him.
Therefore, the two hit it off and arrived at a courtyard residence.
According to Qiu Wanshan, this was one of his private properties. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
"Mr. Chen, would you be interested in a place where one can obtain the Dragon King's Heart?" Qiu Wanshan spoke in a low voice.
From Chen Xing's previous inquiries about the Dragon King's Heart and his actions in the Dragon Emperor Realm this time, Qiu Wanshan harbored a terrifying suspicion.
Chen Xing looked deeply at Qiu Wanshan, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"I am sharing riches with Mr. Chen, why would you want to kill me?" Qiu Wanshan asked, surprised.
Chen Xing spoke indifferently, "You're a smart man, just speak frankly."
Qiu Wanshan promptly admitted, "I am in great need of Divine Power. I know a place where one can obtain a large amount of it. This place can also provide the Dragon King's Heart, and even the red-graded Dragon Clan monster skulls you mentioned last time are there! I mentioned this place to you previously, it's the Dragon King's Tomb."
"Go on."
Chen Xing nodded in agreement.
Taking a deep breath and collecting his thoughts, Qiu Wanshan said, "However, there is something you may not know, Mr. Chen. Since every part of a dragon's body is a treasure, even the bodies of deceased dragons are coveted. Hence, the Dragon Clan of the Dragon Emperor Giant City guards the Dragon King's Tomb very strictly. Many people want to find it but can't because the Dragon King's Tomb isn't located in the real world, but in a separate Different Space!"
Surprise flickered through Chen Xing's eyes upon hearing this.
The Dragon King's Tomb is in a Different Space?
Then the difficulty of entering it must be exceedingly high.
If there isn't an expert in space, even finding a trace of the Dragon King's Tomb would be impossible.
Chen Xing's fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, "Continue."
Qiu Wanshan went on, "But I know of an opportunity to enter the Dragon King's Tomb. At the Ten Thousand Dragons Convention, a hundred contestants will be selected from both the Transcendence group and the group below Transcendence to enter the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool!"
"I happen to know the secret of the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool. The reason why the Dragon Clan Beast Taming qualities can radically transform at a certain probability is because of its unique nature. At its core, it actually contains the bodies of dead dragons!"
"The place with a large number of dragon corpses… that's the Dragon King's Tomb. Although the name 'Dragon King' is in its title, in reality, all deceased dragons from the Dragon Emperor Giant City are buried there. Therefore, there is a close connection between the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool and the Dragon King's Tomb," Qiu Wanshan said gravely.
He added, "And I know the method to enter the Dragon King's Tomb through the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool."
"What is the method?" Chen Xing asked.
Qiu Wanshan shook his head, "Please forgive me, I cannot say now. I can only tell you after we enter the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool."
After hesitating, Qiu Wanshan candidly stated his purpose, "But I can assure you there's absolutely no deception, Mr. Chen! I want to enter the Dragon King's Tomb to obtain dragon bones, for I need the residual Divine Power within them."
Here, Qiu Wanshan hesitated once more, "Right, there is one condition – Mr. Chen, you need to secure a spot in the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool for your Beast Taming."
He felt this might be a bit challenging. Though Chen Xing was an Ascension Beast Tamer, training other Species and Attributes of Beast Taming may not be that formidable, and moreover, only Dragon Clan Beast Taming could participate in the Ten Thousand Dragons Convention.
But not all methods were exhausted. After all, Chen Xing was an Ascension Beast Tamer. If he was willing to become a venerated figure of the Dragon Emperor Giant City, obtaining an extra spot for the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool wouldn't be difficult.
For the powerful, some privileges still exist.
After sharing this alternate method with Chen Xing, he merely responded with an acknowledgment of understanding.
Initially cautious and not planning to participate in the Ten Thousand Dragons Convention, but now that Qiu Wanshan said so,
he must attend the Ten Thousand Dragons Convention.
Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to enter the Dragon King's Tomb located in a Different Space.
Ten minutes later, Chen Xing returned to the registration desk of the Ten Thousand Dragons Convention.
The man who had previously tried to sell to Chen Xing watched as he walked in and then completed his registration.
Watching Chen Xing walk out with the competition token, the man regretted perhaps he had quoted too high a price earlier?
But wasn't that the agreed-upon price among everyone? Could someone be selling the spots for less?
Damn it! If he had known, he would have bargained longer. He needed to sell his spot quickly; once the registration period was over, it would be worthless!
After obtaining the token, Chen Xing rented a small house in the city and, while waiting for the grand opening ceremony of the Ten Thousand Dragons Convention three days later, he opened up his Skill Tree.
He had accumulated quite a few Skill Points over the past few months, which was perfect for activating several new abilities.
