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."

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.
