In the underground cave, Du Nan carefully read the ancient book.
These records were not the secret history of the Thousand-Year Family, but the collection of lightning magic power information gathered by a rebellious ancestor, much like the old patriarch. Among the many ancient books, a large part were the secrets of the four royal families, as well as a small amount of records from the Second Derivative Race and the secret history of the dragon race. Compared to the extraordinary old patriarch, this ancestor was a scholar-type figure who only collected a large amount of knowledge.
In the scholar ancestor's mind, the four royal families not aiding the Thousand-Year Family in time was itself a form of 'betrayal.'
Therefore, unlike the old patriarch who made friends, this ancestor only harbored hatred towards the four royal families.
The super dragon behind him was also a primordial thunder dragon, but not one of the four elemental dragons.
It belonged to the fifth type.
The scholar ancestor traveled through the stars, and the thunder dragon always accompanied and protected him. This thunder dragon had no interest in racial disputes; it was more interested in finding information about the First Derivative Race. According to the scholar ancestor's vague mentions, the thunder dragon's power was incomparably strong, and in its travels through the stars, it had not seen any star beasts or races that could match it. Usually, there was not even a single opponent in front of it.
The thunder dragon had little interest in the Second Derivative Race, giving a sense of 'standing at the pinnacle, lonely and invincible.' The scholar ancestor believed that its interest was solely in the First Derivative Race, which had disappeared into the annals of history, unknown even to the four royal families.
Du Nan extended his hand to merge with the thunder dragon's battle body.
Perhaps because he had the bloodline of the Thousand-Year Family, it did not resist much. However, a feeling entered his mind: "Do not use my body except for the First Derivative Race."
At this moment, Du Nan realized that even in its demise, it remained proud and disdainful of fighting with the weak.
The fusion of the thunder dragon also brought countless memories of interstellar travel. The treasures it disdained could make Du Nan pleasantly surprised. At this time, he realized that the world of the citizen layer was merely an extremely small world. The noble layer possessed better, more, and more unique resources. Countless exotic and superior bloodline races in the stars were all rare in the citizen layer of the Star Alliance.
If the citizen layer was just a 'rural society,' then above it was a true 'steel civilization.'
*********
"I need to travel far, for at least three months, at most half a year." A month later, Du Nan closed the underground ancient hall and returned to the starship. After briefing Li Wenfu and Lu Sheng, he immediately set off for the ice-covered planet. By this time, he had finished reading the books in the ancient hall, successfully merged with the thunder dragon, and absorbed the fifth artifact fragment.
His physical techniques did not improve, but he gained a 'taste enhancement.'
This time, the enhancement of taste allowed Du Nan to know that he would not be poisoned by food or drink, but he could not yet discover any other new functions. Guessing the existence of the small and large ice river cores, he did not have time to try them out. He rushed to the ice-covered planet in the shortest time to obtain the new power he urgently needed.
The fat man and the four-eyed man did not say much.
They only said, "Be careful and take care," and "Don't worry, they are doing well," without any unnecessary chatter.
It took two days.
Du Nan finally found the coordinates of the ice-covered planet. Activating the starship, he was instantly teleported to this dead planet known as 'Ice Prison Star.'
The starship stopped in the high space, and Du Nan transformed into an ice dragon and rushed into Ice Prison Star. At this moment, his body suddenly felt an abnormal excitement, as if he had found a missing part of himself. The information about the small and large ice river cores came from the primordial elemental dragon. Like the ground frost and sky frost, these two cores were formed from its essence. Or, they were a part of the primordial elemental dragon's dispersed power.
Was it now time to reclaim them?
"Roar!" Du Nan, with excitement, sprinted at full speed.
On this dead planet where even bacteria could not survive, he had no need for any caution. The entire planet had only one living being, and there was no other life form. The bone-chilling storm made the ice dragon's battle body feel incredibly comfortable. With a long breath, Du Nan suddenly roared, shattering the ground with an incredibly powerful dragon roar. In an instant... the sky collapsed, and the earth split!
I've found you.
Du Nan, with satisfaction, burst into the interior of Ice Prison Star.
After about five minutes, he stopped his wings in front of an unimaginably large ice net. Two cores, each ten times larger than a town, faintly emitted a strange light. Sensing the arrival of the 'ice dragon' Du Nan, they also burst with vast energy, as if they had been lonely for a hundred years and suddenly had relatives visit.
Rumble.
The super-large cores vibrated, and the entire planet was in turmoil.
All the ice power rapidly converged in an instant. Like a scattered ant colony now hearing the queen's call.
When the true 'ocean' poured in, Du Nan entered a magical state. At this moment, he felt his ice dragon battle body gradually 'weakening.' As the ocean-like ice flow converged into his body, the ice dragon became weaker and weaker. Before receiving even one percent, Du Nan had lost all sensation. At this moment, the ice dragon seemed like a real ice sculpture, and he could no longer sense any 'power.'
Am I so far from it? Du Nan sighed.
This 'weakening' was, of course, not real, but rather it was so powerful that it exceeded his understanding. This situation was similar to how he had no sensation of the ancient Luding. Even more absurdly, the ice dragon was his own battle body. If he had no sensation of 'himself,' Du Nan could hardly imagine what level the primordial elemental dragon had reached.
Even more terrifying, the ice power of the entire planet was still converging, far from ending.
If fully absorbed, would it be the 'living' state of the ice dragon?
How much could I unleash?
By merging the small and large ice river cores and advancing to the Seventh Star Rank... I can only unleash a tiny fraction of its power. What level do I need to reach to fully unleash its 'lifetime' power? Is the Ninth Star Rank really the limit? In this world, have I only taken the first step?
As Du Nan thought, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The ice dragon battle body continued to instinctively absorb ice power, restoring to its best state in life.
It was unknown how long it had been.
Du Nan slowly woke up.
At this moment, Ice Prison Star no longer had ice, only volcanoes erupting. Countless lava spewed into the sky, the earth rumbled, and there was a sign of an impending explosion. Du Nan, seeing the danger, transformed into an ice river half-dragon and flew into the sky.
This planet was about to explode.
The ice dragon battle body was temporarily unusable, but the small and large ice river cores had merged and were refining his body to prepare for using the ice dragon battle body in the future. They, like the ground frost and sky frost cores, needed time to fully unleash their power. At this moment, Du Nan also understood why he did not have a 'very powerful' sensation when facing the thunder dragon. It was because his strength was still too weak, like an ant looking at a mountain, unable to understand the 'power' of the other.
The ice dragon battle body, which was gradually stabilizing, also gave this feeling: ordinary, with no power at all.
In reality.
Du Nan knew it had transformed and improved dozens of times.
Suddenly, a strange thought arose, and Du Nan sensed the strange beast with the tiger head, bull body, and eagle wings... Piji! Du Nan did not sense any abnormality, but suddenly dozens of wounds appeared on his body, and blood spurted out. The strange-looking beast had no 'power sensation,' but his body reacted in a terrifying way. Du Nan did not know what he was 'afraid' of.
This difference could no longer be distinguished by 'strong' and 'weak.'
The strange beast and himself were two different dimensions of existence.
Huh... In a breath, all the wounds on Du Nan's body healed, without a single red mark. The body enhanced by the artifact fragment, in a conscious state, could heal injuries with just a thought. The strange beast and the ice dragon were both very strong, and he possessed them but did not match them. However, thinking about absorbing the small and large ice river cores and merging with the ice river half-dragon, a king-level magic body, his strength was actually quite good. Once the ice dragon battle body stabilized and advanced to the Seventh Star Rank, he could quickly repay the favor to ancient Luding.
On the side of the Thousand-Year Family.
After helping ancient Luding secure the heir, it was time to explore the roots of the family.
Half a day later.
Du Nan returned to the sky above Iron Enclosure Star and returned to the starship.
At this moment, a pleasant surprise appeared.
Opening the main cargo door, Du Nan was greeted by the fat man, the four-eyed man, and the sisters Jin Ling and Yin Ling. At this moment, the two identical sisters had significant differences. Yin Ling had grown taller, with an exceptionally full chest, a high and firm buttock, and a waist still as small as a fifteen-year-old girl. She looked incredibly mature, and one might worry if her young waist could bear the weight of the 'great snow peaks' on top.
"Fatso, what are you looking at?" After growing up, Yin Ling also showed a bit of shyness. Seeing the fat man's gaze sweep over her peaks, she couldn't help but swing a whip.
A magic tail, like a fiery lava, grew from her round and firm buttock.
With a light twist of her waist, she whipped the fat man several meters away.
Seeing her swaying buttocks, the fat man forgot to defend and rolled a long distance like a watermelon. At this moment, Yin Ling's face turned red, and she walked to Du Nan with small steps, a bit shy, and softly asked, "Nan, am I looking strange like this?"
"Is there a problem?" Du Nan looked at her well-developed body with an artistic and serious expression.
"This..." Seeing Du Nan's unrestrained gaze, Yin Ling's face turned even redder. "In our Ding family, women generally stop growing at fifteen. Now, this seems a bit different. Could it be a special mutation from merging with the king body?"
"No." Du Nan replied.
He circled around Yin Ling, carefully observing.
After admiring her enough, he said, "Merging with a magic body will certainly cause some growth in the body. For a king body, there will also be some potential breakthroughs in magic power. It's not strange that your body has changed. The 'non-aging gene' defect might be that the body doesn't grow. Now, it's just right; it has helped you fix it. Don't worry, Ling, the magic body will not destroy the beneficial genes of the host. Because the magic body merges, it becomes a part of you, understand?"
"Phew!" Yin Ling felt a great relief. With a breath, her chest swelled again.
In her heart.
Between growing up and not aging, Yin Ling preferred not aging.
Although seeing her child-like mother and grandmother was awkward, seeing other elderly women was even more awkward. The magic body made her 'grow up' without destroying her non-aging gene, which made her happier than merging with the king body.
"Have you also reached the Seventh Level of physical techniques?" Du Nan asked.
"Um." Knowing there was no problem, Yin Ling also regained some of her straightforward nature.
"What about magic power?"
