However, this thought was immediately dismissed by Lin Feng. Dragon-type Demon Beasts, although not necessarily the strongest, are among the top echelons of Demon Beasts. Very few can contend with them. If not for their extremely limited numbers, they would definitely be the strongest Demon Beast clan. Yet, reproduction is a key factor in the strength of Demon Beasts. Dragons are formidable in every way, but their only flaw is their weak reproductive capabilities, which makes Dragon-type Demon Beasts seem like mere legends to many people, as they have never even seen one. However, Lin Feng had indeed seen a Fire Dragon before, and it wasn't even an adult Fire Dragon. He merely glanced at it once without any particular thoughts at the time about dragon slaying.
Dragon slaying is not as simple as killing chickens or slaughtering dogs. Even Dragon Scales alone are enough to leave many divine weapons ineffective. Who could possibly slay a dragon and use their scales to make a book?
"My young friend, this object has quite an origin," said Ji Wuya as he watched Lin Feng's gaze fixed on the ancient book, his face bearing a profoundly inscrutable smile, along with some sighs and emotions.
"Could this thing have some significant origin? Why do I feel that the scales on it are..." Lin Feng trailed off without finishing his sentence.
"Dragon Scales, are those what you were going to mention?" Ji Wuya said with a mild smile, a hint of surprise then appeared in his eyes, and subsequently, he uttered a statement that even Lin Feng found astonishing.
"Indeed, this book is made of Dragon Scales, and its name is... Heavenly Grace Dragon Book," Ji Wuya said calmly.
Really, Dragon Scales? Heavenly Grace Dragon Book?
Lin Feng's heart was hit by waves of shock. How could this be possible? Could someone actually slay a dragon? That was something even he, a Martial Venerate, couldn't achieve. As for Martial Saints, he had never even encountered one. It felt like reaching Martial Venerate was already the pinnacle. Could there truly exist Martial Saints? Lost in thought, Lin Feng had searched the Mainland for five hundred years but never saw a Martial Saint. He even started to believe that Martial Saints could no longer exist in the current world.
"Is it shocking? It's a natural human reaction. When this old man first acquired this Heavenly Grace Dragon Book, I couldn't sleep for over half a month and kept it with me at all times. However, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. The fact that this old man possessed such a treasure eventually became known, and I was even pursued by a Martial King personally. Alone and unsupported, I dared not return to my Ji Family and fled here, eventually dying in this place. It's truly lamentable," Ji Wuya revealed with a sense of helplessness in his eyes.
Having acquired such a remarkable item yet unable to use it was intolerable, but he had moved past it. Not because he had come to terms with it, but because to him, the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book was no more useful than toilet paper—a pity to discard, yet useless to retain.
"Of course, the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book is indeed a great item, but it's more like a chicken rib for most—it's not worth much. I deeply regret it when I think back now. If not for this Heavenly Grace Dragon Book, how could I have possibly been besieged by seventeen Heavenly Martial Masters and one Martial King?" Ji Wuya was filled with regret.
Lin Feng was confused upon hearing this; such a valuable item, its only use being made of Dragon Scales, should have been enough to rock the entire Mainland. Yet, this old man was regretting it here.
"Could it be that this item requires some special method to activate?" Lin Feng suddenly thought of something.
Ji Wuya seemed somewhat surprised that Lin Feng was so quick-witted, but he shook his head.
"Not exactly, no special method is needed, but the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book does have one threshold; it's only useful to Martial Artists who possess Dragon-type Stars. Tell me, are Dragon-type Stars something ordinary people can possess? This old man has roamed for more than a hundred years and has never seen a single Dragon-type Star, so in my view, the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book is a fine thing, but ordinary people are not blessed to enjoy it—it's a chicken rib!" Ji Wuya lamented.
However, he didn't notice Lin Feng's expression. Others might not be able, but Lin Feng can, for he is a Dragon-type Star, and Demon Dragon Star is indeed a Dragon-type Demon Beast.
"So, my young friend, once you get your hands on this thing, you should ultimately find a place to bury it. Keeping it by your side, one might call it a 'chicken rib'—useless yet somewhat valuable. It can be called an exotic treasure that defies the heavens, but you simply have no opportunity to use it." Ji Wuya shook his head helplessly, giving Lin Feng a couple of suggestions before returning to the storage ring, waiting for the day Lin Feng would send him back to the Ji Family to rest his roots.
Lin Feng held the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book in his hands, and couldn't help but breathe faster. The specific use of this Dragon Book, the old man didn't say, because he didn't know; he isn't a Dragon-type Star.
"I never imagined that in this rebirth of mine, in such a short period, such a great opportunity would come my way."
At this moment, Lin Feng's feelings were indescribably complex. Excitement was definitely present, but it had already settled down because he had encountered many opportunities in his previous life and could hardly be described as overly excited.
Besides, the purpose of this Dragon Book was still unknown. Thinking this, Lin Feng directly activated his Demon Dragon Star power, and sure enough, Ji Wuya wasn't wrong; the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book indeed required a Dragon-type Star to open it. As soon as he activated the Demon Dragon Star, he immediately felt a burst of dazzling light from the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book, and mysterious patterns emerged on the cold dragon scales, as if suddenly, from an inanimate object, it had taken on a life of its own.
Ji Wuya, who had just entered the storage ring, was instantly drawn out, astounded at the sight, his face full of disbelief.
"How is that possible... Could it be... Could it be..."
Swish, swish!
The chains fell off on their own, but the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book flapped open as if blown by the wind, crazily flipping pages on its own. Lin Feng, with sharp eyes, could see that this book wasn't just covered with dragon scales; its pages were also made of dragon scales, peculiarly shaped and colored differently, obviously not from the same Dragon Species.
"Incredible, how many dragons..."
Lin Feng muttered, his heart also filled with shock; this was utterly unimaginable, something unheard of. However, strangely, aside from the odd-shaped dragon scales, there was nothing else inside. Suddenly, the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book stopped, and then a pattern slowly appeared on the originally blank giant dragon scale.
Then, a pattern appeared on that dragon scale—it was a ferocious Demon Beast.
This Demon Beast, he was very familiar with—it was the true form of the Demon Dragon Star, Mo Yu Demon Dragon.
The Demon Dragon is a very unique species among the Dragon-type Demon Beasts. Its appearance is not handsome; as its name suggests, it is quite eerie.
Compared to the ordinary Dragon Species with two Dragon Horns, the Demon Dragon has a total of four horns, two long and two short, located respectively on the top of the head and the lower jaw, and even its dragon scales come in three colors, which make it look quite eerie.
Lin Feng frowned, could it be that the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book is like a compendium, a large collection, and because he connected with the Demon Dragon Star, the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book showed the guide of the Demon Dragon, but what next?
"Young man, you actually communicated with a Dragon-type Star..." Ji Wuya trembled his lips in disbelief.
