The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 227: Preparations



Chapter 227: Preparations

Even until now, Cain didn’t put in serious thoughts on how he should break the news to Amber. Admittedly, he was a bit afraid of how she would take it. 

He could say that he has a firm grasp on Amber’s personality, but he isn’t all-knowing. Amber could react in ways beyond his scope towards his God Galaxy origins. 

And this wasn’t even considering his desire to bring her along with him. 

Compared to themselves, Cain believed this was a genuinely complicated matter.

Still, Cain didn’t want to simply leave Amber behind. Doing so left a sickening taste in his mouth as if he would make a decision he would regret for the rest of his life. He felt it would be a mistake he would never be able to make up for, even with his massively long lifespan.

More than anything, Cain didn’t want to make any regrets in his life. He would be wasting his gift at his new life while also trampling over his desires. So his only option now is to consult his grandmother.

Cain felt a small swirl of anxiety, expecting the worse outcome to possibly happen. 

After all, Amber is still just a Lower Realm being. He had no idea how she would fare with God Galaxies’ rigid standards.

The importance of Martial Talent is far greater. Mainly because in the God Galaxies, it was the true Law of the jungle. When it comes down to all matters, greater Martial Strength will be the determining factor.

And for one to achieve a high level of Martial Strength, resources play a crucial role, becoming increasingly important with each cultivation realm advancement. 

So naturally, the higher the Martial Talent, the more willing would Holy Lands and Martial Families are to foster them.

Those that have ordinary Martial Talent from the Lower Realm would be nothing but ordinary cabbage, unable to stir the slightest interest from anyone. Moreover, the possibility of them dying a truly tragic death is immensely high.

Slaughter for resources could be said to be an expected norm.

When considering this, Cain knows very well it’s a risk to have Amber come with him to the God Galaxy. Even with his status of protection, there weren’t absolutes in life. Realistically, it would be far safer for her to stay and for Cain to find a way to communicate with her.

However, this was a road Cain was absolutely unwilling to go down. The sentiments of his Soul’s feelings for Amber run deep, forever engraving itself into his subconscious. 

This may come with numerous risks. But at this point, Cain wasn’t afraid of facing risks head-on with calm intelligence. 

Taking a slight breath, Cain trudged through his emotions, asking Shi Wei, “Grandmother…I know we can’t disobey to go back; our presence is a given. But, I do have one request. Is it possible that I can bring my girlfriend back home?” 

Hearing his questions, Kali’s eyes flashed, her expression slightly scrunching. In all her excitement, she nearly forgot about that lazy girl. But thinking about her now, various thoughts and emotions swirled her mind. 

She could admit that there is something off about Amber when referring to her Martial Cultivation. Perhaps she is far greater than she lets on. 

But in the end, she merely is a Lower Realm person. 

Disregarding her own personal feelings, Kali saw this in a pragmatic light. Though she chose to keep quiet for now.

During this small moment, Shi Wei didn’t promptly reply. All the way on her side, one can see her expression gradually becoming more serious, her eyebrows tightly knitting together.

At her level of cultivation, Shi Wei can naturally process her thoughts far quicker than the siblings. 

Thus, after only a few moments of consideration, Shi Wei slowly explained, “I hope you do not forget that you already have an assigned fiance to you, Cain. Naturally, with your status, having multiple lovers is a given. But for other problems….let me ask you this, have you performed the Dragon Union Arts with her?”

“No…I haven’t.” Cain slowly shook his head, feeling a bit relieved at his grandmother’s tone. 

Sensing just how genuine and serious she is already moved a massive pressure weighing down Cain’s shoulders. He held some hopes that the negotiations would turn easier from here. 

“Ah, this is actually excellent that you haven’t. As you may know, disdain and prejudice against Lower Realm people are quite common. Even with repeated cases of Lower Realm Martial cultivators rising through the ranks and firmly establishing themselves, it’s difficult to erase all prejudice. Truthfully, we do live entirely separate lives from them. And as you may guess, having a Lower Realm lover won’t bode well for the family. Nearly all here puts reputation, talent, and strength above all else. If your girlfriend doesn’t make the cut…some complications can potentially arise. However, there is one foolproof method that can 100% ensure that your girlfriend can stay with us. That is, you must perform the Soul bonding ritual from the Dragon Union Arts and mark her Soul with the mark of a dragon.”

At this moment, Cain felt a mixture of curiosity and relief. Truly, the Heavens never seal all paths of hope. Since he was granted a way to transform Amber, he was sure to immediately study upon it, grasping the ability to its very limit.

Simultaneously with this determination, Cain couldn’t suppress a simmering curiosity. 

When first hearing about the magical effects of the Dragon Union Arts, Cain was in simultaneous awe and slightly fearful of it.

Such a way of quickly advancing their cultivation seemed heaven-defying but also came with numerous dark tales that both siblings know their family is simply covering up.

For all past transgression that helped their family to form, Cain certainly wasn’t going to raise a call for justice or anything of the sort. In his eyes, that was just a massive waste of time, considering how merciless their universe is.

But in any case, Cain still wanted to know just how wondrous this Art is. 

With a far more knowledgable person at his fingertips, Cain suddenly decided to ask, “Grandmother, just how potent is this Art? Kali informed me a bit about it before, saying how it’s one of the leading causes of our family development.”

“Oh? So you know this much, huh?” Shi Wei’s tone came out as unwaveringly calm as if she had nothing to hide. “Nonetheless, little Kali is indeed correct. The original Dragon Union Arts and its subsequent variations help us equal out to an ordinary Holy Land. Thus the status behind this Art isn’t small at all. And there is one Ancient Dragon Rule that even I can’t go against. Which is, when a Dragon Soul Link is formed, their partner will have free access on our grounds only when they are together.”

“Hm? Really?” 

Cain and Kali curiously asked, feeling that Rule was incredibly generous. They both believed their highly proud Royal Family would be much more rigid than this.

As if she could read their minds, Shi Wei continued to say, “Now don’t go thinking that any person can easily waltz into our Royal grounds. You see, the Soul Dragon Union Art creates a Link that surpasses what is formed during normal dual cultivation. Both of you have absolute trust within each other. But, in order to achieve this, your feelings must be in complete sync without the slightest disturbance. If just the slightest of out of sync, this ritual will fail. Moreover, you must also have some attainment in Soul cultivation, and achieving this is incomparably tough. All these factors truthfully make a Soul Link far rarer than you could believe. But though I’m saying all of this, I have full hopes you will be able to achieve this little Cain. The miracles hidden within you is simply put, heaven-defying.”

As all this new information dumped on to him, Cain’s expression first showed a brief hint of panic before quickly settling into calm. 

If it was feelings, Cain was utterly positive about being in sync with Amber.

Whenever they’re in each other presence, Cain could feel his, and her entire beings meld into endless warmth. They truly reached the stage of just being around each other was enough to satisfy them.

As for attainments in the Soul…Cain had already reached the Spirit Soul level! He had peered into the mystical Soul Dimension, allowing his Martial Perception about the Soul to significantly grow.

After that time, Cain’s attainments with the Soul didn’t receive any noticeable improvements. There simply wasn’t any guide or manual he had about the Soul compared to Qi cultivation and Spirit Arts.

Cain is indeed a heaven-defying genius, but if he has no solid foundation to study upon, he would be as helpless as anybody else. 

The importance of comprehending previous ancient Masters’ perceptions, essence, findings, and Law comprehensions can truly be seen.

Along with his Soul, Cain also had very little attainments with his Astral Core because he has no foundational base manual to study upon. 

Still, even with these limitations, Cain was exceedingly confident that this ritual would succeed. This was his pure determination stemming from the depths of his Martial Heart. 

Seeing this kind of expression plastering Cain’s face, Kali suddenly asked, “So, just how long do we have until we’re expected to show up, grandmother?”

“This may be a bit hasty for you, but you will have only three days to prepare. After three days, I will contact you, and you must come here then. Am I clear?” 

Even just through an Artifact ring, the overflowing aura of a majestic empress enraptured both Cain and Kali. They even sat a bit straighter, expressions becoming serious as they simultaneously nodded.

“Understood, grandmother.” 

“Good. And remember, at home, nobody will be able to lay a true hand on you because of me. I’m truly looking forward to our reunion.” 

After finishing her last piece, the Soul Artifact ring lost its luster, indicating that Shi Wei cut of her Soul energy.

Silence quickly filled the room. Cain and Kali both warped with their own thoughts. 

Though soon enough, Cain flashed a determined look over towards Kali.
