The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 509 The Truth About the Jade Pendants

"It's just one aspect of it." Adam nodded in response.

"In fact, ever since the incident twenty years ago, there have been many Dragon Vein Guardians stationed around Kun Lun Mountains. Mr Fowler and Mrs Charleston, though responsible for this aspect, have even more important tasks."

"What tasks?" Judge asked.

"A hundred years ago, during the catastrophe, the Five-Element Jade Pendants that opened the path to Glavale's prosperity were all lost, causing the decline of our nation."

Adam didn't answer Judge directly, and after taking another sip of tea, he continued, "Uncle Adam, do you mean that Mr Fowler and Mrs Charleston are not only guarding the Dragon Veins of Glavale but also protecting the place that opens the path to the nation's prosperity?"

"That's right," Adam responded seriously. "That is the root of Glavale, and it cannot afford the slightest mistake!"

"I see," Casey and the others nodded in understanding.

Finally, everyone understood the significance of the jade pendants that Billy possessed. Their origins were indeed remarkable, and it explained why even powerful individuals like Guqin Devil had perished because of these pendants.

"Uncle Adam, there are five of these Five-Element Jade Pendants, right?" Billy asked as he took out the pendant that Quillan had given him.

"That's correct," Adam nodded before continuing, "These jade pendants are crafted according to the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. From their appearance, apart from the slight variation in the color of the dragon's head, there is no other difference. Young Master's pendant has a golden dragon head, signifying the metal element."

"Uncle Adam, these pendants don't seem to have any special features. Why can't we make more of them?" Stout asked, pouting.

"It's not that simple," Adam said with a faint smile. "Although these Five-Element Jade Pendants look ordinary on the outside, there's much more to them that cannot be replicated by anyone today." "What do you mean?" Stout asked.

"I'll show you," Adam said, looking at Billy. "Young Master, may I borrow your pendant?"

"Sure," Billy handed over the pendant.

After taking the pendant, Adam Greenleaf looked focused, and a powerful aura entered the jade pendant shaped like a dragon.

In the next moment, the entire pendant turned golden and gradually became transparent. After a while, Billy and the others could clearly see wisps of energy swirling inside the dragon's body, and the dragon's eyes were slowly moving. The entire dragon looked lifelike.

A few minutes later, when Adam withdrew his Chi, the pendant instantly returned to its normal state.

"This is amazing!" Stout exclaimed.

Billy and the others were equally surprised, not expecting the pendants to have such a mystical aspect.

"Glavale has a history of thousands of years, and in its long history, there have been many extraordinary individuals who could create these Five-Element Jade Pendants. Although they look ordinary on the outside, they are far from ordinary in reality." Adam explained with a faint smile. After a pause, he continued with a more serious tone, "However, it's a pity that despite the capital's continuous efforts over the past century, we've only found one of the pendants, and we still don't know when or how we can collect all five."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

With that, Casey and the others exchanged glances, knowing that Billy had three of them.

"Someday, when all five pendants are gathered, Young Master will open Glavale's path to prosperity and bring blessings to millions of people." Adam added. "Uncle Adam, I have three more Five-Element Jade Pendants," Billy said with a smile. Since they were all allies, he didn't see any need to conceal this fact.

Upon hearing Billy's words, Bessie, who was sipping her tea, spilled her tea as her hand trembled.

Arthur, who had just taken a sip of tea, choked and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Young Master, what did you just say?" Adam asked, staring at Billy with wide eyes, after a moment of being stunned.

"Uncle Adam, please verify if these three pieces are indeed Five-Element Jade Pendants." Billy smiled and took out the three pendants from his body, handing them to Adam.

Ever since he suspected that Arthur's matter might be related to the pendants, he had carried these three pendants with him. He wanted to understand their purpose and also verify their authenticity. "Al-alright." Adam took a deep breath, deeply moved, and then accepted the pendants from Billy. He then proceeded to verify each one.

As expected, all three pendants were genuine Five-Element Jade Pendants, representing the wood, fire, and earth attributes.

"Young-Young Master, how did you come to possess these three pendants?" Adam was overwhelmed with excitement and asked after swallowing a gulp of water with some difficulty.

Arthur and Bessie were also filled with astonishment and expressed their joy.

"One of them was a gift from my mother, and the other two were discovered in the legacies of two formidable individuals." Billy explained with another smile. He briefly introduced the origins of the other two pendants.

"This is fate! Everything is the will of heaven!" Adam exclaimed loudly.

Each of the five pendants was something that countless martial experts dreamt of obtaining. To acquire one was already a divine blessing, yet Billy had obtained three. It seemed that it was fate at work.

"Young Master is truly the one

chosen by the Patriarch, the

country's Qilin, and the chosen one

of the heavens. It is truly a great

fortune for our Glavale!" Adam

deeply inhaled a breath of air and

returned the pendants to Billy. He then stood up, bowed deeply.

"One day, when all five pendants are gathered in Kun Lun Mountains and Young Master opens the path to Glavale's prosperity, we will usher in a thousand years of glory for our Glavale!"

"Uncle Adam, there's no need for such formalities, please sit down, and let's chat!" Billy smiled and gestured. "I have a few questions that I'd like to ask you."

"Please go ahead!" Adam resumed his seat.

"Is it true that once all five pendants are collected, the path to the nation's prosperity can be opened?" Billy asked after taking a sip of tea.

"In theory, that's correct," Adam nodded and continued. "However, when opening the path to the nation's prosperity, there needs to be someone to receive the nation's blessings, and the strength of the nation's prosperity is closely related to this chosen individual

"If the chosen person has strong innate luck, the nation's prosperity will naturally be vigorous."

"But if the chosen person has poor innate luck, the nation's prosperity that arrives will undoubtedly be weaker."

"So, there's more to it?" Stout and Judge both asked.

"Yes," Adam replied.

"Uncle Adam, there's one thing I don't quite understand," Frostblade spoke up. "since these five pendants are related to the nation's prosperity, why would Ink Pavilion go to such great lengths to obtain them? What's their connection to this matter?"

This question was also on the minds of the others, so they all turned to Adam Greenleaf for an answer.
