The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 235: Towards A Journey

Before even coming back to reality, Cain and Amber felt as if they had evolved to another plane of existence. 

The sensation of the Innate Lord Realm…it was exhilarating! 

The strength gained was akin to leaving a massive patch of mud into a cool, refreshing spring.

It was night and day. 

Innate Qi is the proper early form of Heaven and Earth Origin energy, the true source of Heavenly Dao's nature power! Furthermore, Minor Law essence is also a tiny facet of Heavenly Dao's Source energy, granting all of its users' immense power. 

It wasn't an exaggeration to say Cain and Amber had genuinely evolved. Their journey to Divinity has finally started. 

Simultaneously, the young couple swung their eyes open. 

When Cain witnessed Amber's pupils, he was a bit taken aback, nearly entranced. Within the depths of her radiant crimson pupils was now an enchanting black glow, representing her shade of the mysterious Shadow Law element. 

Cain was used to Amber's beauty, believing nothing else could affect him further. But this Shadow glow made his Martial Heart shake with an appreciation of pure beauty.

'Holy hell…' 

At the same time, Amber was far more entranced with Cain. She couldn't even suppress herself from giving remarks in her mind, wholly enraptured by Cain's mesmerizing pupils.

Now his devilishly handsome black pupils contained a faint, luminous blue shine, representing his Lightning Law element. Just by the depths of his eyes, anyone, even Amber, could tell his immense power!

A moment later, they both snapped out of their trance. 

Amber faintly smiled, her eyes still never going off from Cain's as she said, "Haah~. This truly was what I was expecting. We just entered a whole new world."

Cain slightly smiled, looking down at his hand, clenching his palm over and over again. With each exertion of his palm, he can feel his joints literally crackled with extraordinary power. 

The fighting spirit within him has been alighted. 

More than anything, Cain wanted to find a truly challenging opponent to test his very limit, pushing his own comprehension and instincts. Through this, he would feel the most alive! 

And considering that he's very soon returning to the mighty God Galaxy, Cain was assured he'll have an unending amount of worthy fights.

But at the same time, he didn't become too excited. After all, he's still merely an Innate Lord master. While his other Dragon siblings are firmly in the Divine Path of cultivation.

And not just his Dragon siblings. Just the average younger generation of the imperial family are all either at the peak of the Mortal Path or half-step into the Divine Path of cultivation.

Wanting to match them may take some years. As compared to them, Cain had only been cultivating for a little over two months. It was only natural his and Kali's cultivation was far behind. 

But Cain wasn't in a fervent hurry to rush his strength and potentially ruin his built-up foundation. 

Calming himself, Cain swept his Spirit Sense over himself, quickly analyzing his current combat potential.

Sinking his mind into his dantian, he perceived that his Qi Origin Seed is still infused with heavily dense Qi energies. Furthermore, the mist of Innate Qi and the black Origin energy dots are also formulated from incredibly dense Qi energies.

As for his Minor Lightning Law essence, Cain wasn't entirely sure just how much a separation existed between him and others. But he could just vaguely sense the immense amount of power radiating from his Lightning Law sphere and the dantian's mist.

"With this…I'm sure I can not only beat an Early Stage Sky Ruler but possibly kill them. If I go full power, I have complete assurance in achieving this. And maybe…I can even contend with a Middle Stage Sky Ruler…" Cain thought out loud. 

Like this, he's almost close to completing Old Nox Soul's mission. If he were to reach Sky Ruler, Cain is more than sure he could match the top Sect Leaders and possibly assassinate them with his Chaotic Teleportation. 

As a familiar cold glint sparkle within Cain's eyes, Amber wryly smiles, knowing this critical look. 

She suddenly asked, "Are you planning on sparring with Kali now? Eh…actually, would she have a breakthrough at this point?"

Cain furrowed his brows, pondering about it before saying, "Truthfully, I know how desperate she is to match my speed. But, our method is basically light speed compared to her. She should be in the midst of a breakthrough, so let's not disturb her. Instead, let's use about another half a day to consolidate our cultivation and then meet with your parents."

"Ah! It is time for this…" Amber's eyes brightly lit up, her voice trembling in slight excitement. "You know…despite the fact I'm leaving for some time, I can't help but feel excited for this. Haah~….in any case, just when exactly will you meet with them? And for that matter, what about the Branch and this Academy?"

"We'll meet them a short while after our cultivation. And I'll just let Kali deal with the Academy and the Branch about our leave. It may not seem like it, but she is quite the crafty planner."

Amber giggled. "Oh, I can believe that. Whenever she has ideas, I can see that same light in your eyes in her as well. Alright, let's not delay any more. I want to get all this done as soon as possible."

Truly, there was only great intrigue overflowing in Amber's tone. There wasn't even a hint of fear Cain could pick up on. 

It was good to be optimistic, but Cain certainly didn't think everything would go their way. Though, he didn't have the will to dash Amber's hopes now. 

Without further words, Cain and Amber swiftly assimilate back into a cultivation state, quickly losing all sense of time.

… 

Time breezed by, and a new day fell over Azure Lightning City. 

As of now, Cain only had two days left before returning home. And, of course, every second he spent was used effectively. True to his words, he and Amber spent hours consolidating their Innate Lord breakthrough.

During this time, Cain realized a crucial fact. That is, his cultivation speed has seen a significant drop, virtually to a point where Cain believed it was at least cut in half. 

His Martial Perception didn't decrease. But the rate at which his body could absorb Qi energies massively dropped, and converting Innate Qi into dense Qi took even more time. 

The only salvation he has was Soul Dual cultivating with Amber. But even then, it was as if his dantian was a vast ocean that needed great waves to fill up. 

From here on out, Cain recognized his cultivation speed won't be treading on breaking all rules and laws.

Although, at the same time, it was still amazingly fast compared to any regular genius. 

Upon this recognition, Cain wasn't discouraged, expecting hurdles like this to continually pop out. Moreover, at home, his cultivation speed can be significantly boosted with all of their resources. 

As for his Minor Lightning Law, Cain didn't focus too hard on it. 

To deepen his Law comprehension, he needed to pour his Soul Sense into his Lightning Law sphere, bringing his consciousness to the Minor Law Dimension.

With a few experiments, Cain experienced that prolonged stays will cause massive headaches that will disrupt his comprehension. No matter how hardened his will is, even he won't be able to focus when his mental psyche is painfully disrupted.

With this, Cain simply decided to focus on his Qi cultivation until returning home. 

When a couple of hours passed in the morning, Cain received a call from Kali, detailing that she similarly advanced into the Innate Lord Realm.

After congratulating her, Cain assigned her with telling the Academy and the Branch about their prolonged disappearance, to which Kali only disgruntledly sighed before agreeing. 

With everything taken care of, Cain and Amber had quickly traveled towards the Hiyashi estate. 

Cain, of course, concealed their cultivation while moving through the city, reaching the estate completely undetected. 

Through their great statuses, Cain and Amber moved unhindered in the estate, instantly reaching Joy and Amiel and having an important meeting. 

Currently, the young and senior couples met in the lounge room, a more severe atmosphere permeating between them.

Within Joy and Amiel's eyes was nothing but pure, unadulterated shock. After all, right before them were two Innate Lord geniuses who advanced only just a week ago!

Furthermore, Cain had already promptly demonstrated his Innate Aura, sparing no expense in revealing power comparable to a Sky Ruler! 

When their momentum had reached its peak, Cain then dropped the question of taking Amber on a long journey to explore the world.

Towards this question, Joy and Amiel internally sighed. 

'To be young and full of vigor…' They both thought in their hearts. 

In their heydays, they could undoubtedly recall having desires to venture out and explore their great continent. 

In fact, this would be a desire for many aspiring geniuses within the city. But wanting to actually achieve this goal was far more complex than one would think. 

Without sufficient enough strength, wanting to explore anything in their vast continent is impossible.

At best, one can get killed off by Spirit Monsters or killed and robbed by other adventuring Martial Cultivators. But encounter the wrong pack, and your corpses may not even be left intact! 

Moreover, beyond just preservation of life, Joy and Amiel had a status that couldn't be so casually tossed around. They both are massive paramount of the Hiyashi estate.

A loss of them would mean a severe lowering of their Class-level family position. 

No matter how unwilling they were to involve themselves with vicious schemes and ploys of political power, they both didn't want to see their estate become suppressed by others.

Genuinely, they both have a great sense of belonging to their fellow Vampires. Because of this, neither of them could go on grand adventures far surpassing the Elite Martial Province.

But while this rule applied to them, Joy and Amiel certainly knew this didn't matter to either Cain or Amber. 

Extraordinary geniuses like them simply can't be chained down to a small city like there.

Their youthful ambition will take them far on the Martial Way, breaching beyond walls neither Joy nor Amiel has any chance of breaking through. Just their World Spirit Master status paves a road for them to eventually go far beyond their small city.

When considering all of this, how could Joy and Amiel possibly reject Cain's proposal? 

Even if they did, these two could rely on their World Spirit Master Branch backing to convince them thoroughly.

Joy and Amiel are both fully aware that Great Spirit Master Bellax wholeheartedly fosters them, basically treating them as her direct disciples. And Great Spirit Master Bellax's status is massively superior to their entire Hiyashi estate. 

With a small sigh, Joy leveled an intent gaze at the young couple. Finally, she slowly spoke, "Are you two truly serious about this journey. I will admit that Sky Ruler's prowess and your Spirit Status are massive protections. But…without a hardened will, things can go terribly wrong for you two."

Her tone was solidly stern, carrying the grace of an almighty Sky Ruler master.. But her and Amiel's eyes were full of evident care and worry.
