If it were any other treasure, exchanging it with the Dragon Clan wouldn't be a big deal. Even if he traded it for an Innate Spiritual Treasure, Jiang Chen would not be at a loss.
But this involved a Divine Artifact. Jiang Chen had to be cautious. With the Incense Fire Divine Path not yet established, if he handed over the Thunder Pool to the Dragon Clan, there might be a chance that some wise individual from the Dragon Clan would grasp the fundamentals of the Divine Dao and derive the entire Divine Dao system.
If that happened, Jiang Chen would truly lose more than he gained.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for Jiang Chen to hand over the Thunder Pool to the Dragon Clan. However, from the Old Dragon King's attitude, one could tell that he was determined to obtain the Thunder Pool.
If he were to not hand over the Thunder Pool, Jiang Chen had no doubt that sometime in the future, skilled individuals from the Dragon Clan would surreptitiously infiltrate Cang Mountain.
