The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 250: Thunderous Sword Sect

Millions of miles away, at the far east side of the Thunderous Collision World. 

If one were to fly farther above this massive breadth of beautiful earth, one would be able to find traces of the Huang Dragon's hidden world.

But such a distance was, at least, tens of thousands of miles from their main hidden world. 

Tens of thousands of miles away from the Huang Dragon's hidden world was in this exact location above the beautiful earth was another hidden world.

The location of this hidden world was incredibly peculiar. 

Typically, Holy Lands and Martial Families prefer to have the most significant distance from each other. 

This would serve to limit disagreements and other small-scale fights. Furthermore, it provides a way for resource conflicts to be kept minimal. 

At the same time, the closer a hidden world is to another, it would signify the closeness of their relationship.

Inside this hidden world, a mist of gray-bluish aura permeated all throughout. 

Compared to the Ancient Phoenixes and the Huang Dragons, the mist engulfing the hidden world would sparsely produce the crackling of thunder.

The sound of this thunder would be enough to rupture even peak Sage Core's masters' eardrums. But to the inhabits of this world, it provided them with a strange melody that genuinely slightly helps with their cultivation.

This strange hidden world is the Thunderous Sword Sect's Holy Land. 

A hidden world Holy Land that was considerably smaller in scale compared to the Ancient Phoenixes or the Huang Dragons.

The number of celestial mountains, immortal islands, and immortal palaces was inferior. And even the Divine Essence of Heaven and Earth were of inferior quality. 

For this Holy Land, the quality of cultivators would natural be inferior. 

But cases like this were shared across the God Galaxies. 

The stronger Holy Lands and Martial families would open up their hidden world territories in the best environment and expel all foreign threats out.

And because of the brutal Law of the jungle, there wasn't anything other weaker Holy Lands could do besides accumulating their own strength. 

Still, though the Thunderous Sword Sect's Holy Land had an inferior environment, their overall prowess couldn't be underestimated.

But more than that, the Thunderous Sword Sect has one incredible strength that is enough to deter their smaller-scale rivals. 

That is, their connection with the Huang Dragons!

Because of past arrangements, the Thunderous Sword Sect was even able to expand their territories considerably just to come closer to the Huang Dragons. Through this connection, their Holy Lands might've had the chance to evolve far beyond their current level.

However, a troubling piece of news had directly shaken the large majority of this hidden world. 

Their Holy Land's major city had recently verified this news, causing considerable waves to ripple across many citizens' minds.

And not only were the average Holy Lords citizens shook up, but the core figures of the Thunderous Sword Sect also couldn't calmly take this news either. 

At the highest celestial mountain was a massive immortal palace designed in beautiful sword and thunder patterns. 

A sharp aura akin to a deadly sword exuded from the immortal palace, threatening anyone who dared to come close with a swift presence of a sword. 

This was the Thunderous Sword Sect main branch.

And within the highest chambers, three paramount figures of the setting were meeting. 

One was a handsome, sharp-looking man with an unfathomably dangerous presence. His aura was slightly restrained to the point where one would only feel a cold sensation just hanging inches away from their neck. 

This was Thunderous Sword Sect master, Xun Kang.

The other was an older, middle-aged man whose face carried plenty of battle scars, causing him to appear legitimately haunting. He was the highest Supreme Elder Peng. 

The final one was a young, beautiful maiden.

She carried a calm sword-like presence as if she was a sheathed sword containing unimaginable prowess. 

Of course, this was one of the strongest geniuses of their generation, Qiu Lan.

These three sharp individuals whose expressions would commonly remain steady fast like a sword now had mixed, solemn faces. 

Mainly, Xun Kang and Elder Peng's expression was explicitly grave. 

Qiu Lan was more so lost in deep thought, seemingly contemplating the largest matter she ever received in her life. 

To start this impromptu meeting, Xun Kang had promptly said, "Haaah… it's already been a short while. And besides what he had just recently received…has there been any slightest movement from the Huang Dragons concerning us?"

Elder Peng regretfully shook his head. "I am sorry to say Sect Master, but there's been absolutely nothing from the Huang Dragons. I had even visited several other Holy intelligence networks in other hidden worlds but still nothing. It truly seems like the Huang Dragons are focusing their all on Cain's talent. But truly, it's to be expected. Their kind of talent is just too unprecedented."

Compared to the Ancient Phoenixes or any other inferior Holy Lands, Xun Kang had been specifically gifted with a small short Spirit recording of Cain's group Dragon Altar test.

They were informed it was a gift from the Dragon Emperor as they would be swamped for the following days. 

By this much, the Huang Dragons were at least showing a subtle form of sincerity, not wanting to break all ties from them.

But at the same time, what was recorded in the Spirit recording evidently showcased new changes that will eventually take place. 

Xun Kang and Elder Peng were highly aware of the Dragon Emperor's thoughts on their sect.

The intention to slowly assimilate their sect, to the point they become swallowed whole, such a method was also commonplace. 

Naturally, Xun Kang had no desire to let himself get ruled entirely by the Huang Dragons.

But at the same time, forming deep ties with them would provide far more benefits than disadvantages. Especially when considering the pressure they continually faced from their most tremendous threatening force, the Moon Ocean Palace. 

With the marriage of Cain and Qiu Lan, it would serve as enough to indirectly suppress their rivals and give them time to recuperate. 

However, it seems that fate has far different plans. 

Now that Cain and Kali have fully recovered, would it be so easy for them to form another marriage partnership again? 

Without this, it is very likely the worth of their sect had greatly diminished in the Huang Dragons' eyes.

The only silver lining they had was the fact that the Huang Dragons didn't release any type of news on their marriage. 

Still, this situation can't last forever. 

Both Xun Kang and Elder Peng lightly sighed over this helpless situation. The universe truly worked in mysterious ways. 

"Master, may I ask a question?" Qiu Lan's calm voice suddenly cut in the solemn atmosphere. She appeared to not be in the slightest of distraught.

In fact, Xun Kang and Elder Peng could detect this curious tone they had never heard before from her. 

As she saw her master slowly nod at her, Qiu Lan continued to say,  "In the recording, the Ancient Dragon Empress said that they have a companion with them who goes by the name of Amber. And it is widely known that the only ones who can undergo this test are full-born Huang Dragons. For an outsider to come in…that would mean they were granted their specific Dragon Mark. So, doesn't this means…"

As her sentence lingers in the air, both Xun Kang and Elder Peng momentarily pause. This was an answer clear to them, but they had continually pushed it down, not wanting to stress about the implications.

Now that they had no choice to face it, Xun Kang sighed again before slowly nodding. "Indeed, that is Cain's lover. As per their rules, anyone with their Dragon Mark is assimilated into their family. In the past, we would have little to worry about. But with his immense shift of status, who knows where our value lies."

The Huang Dragons are a firmly powerful mid-order Holy Martial family. They have numerous Divine Star experts, several limit Divine Rulers, and even one zenith limit Divine Rulers. 

Beyond this, their military strength also has countless Divine Origin, Great Divine Sea, and Divine Star experts! 

No matter how well their younger generation performs, their core strength is extremely hard to even slightly shakeup.

Comparatively, their Thunderous Sword Sect has nowhere near the amount of excessive military strength. Even their top cultivators would be inferior to the top Huang Dragons powerhouses.

In terms of ranking, they would consist of an averagely powerful low mid-order Holy Land sect. Their struggle for survival is far more crueler than the Huang Dragons as their competition is at a far equal playing field.

When conserving this, a sharp glint blossomed in Elder Peng's eyes as he said, "Sect Master, while Cain does indeed already have a lover, we must not give up on this. If we can't vie for marriage, we should at least vie for the same Dragon Mark. By Cain's lover alone, it showcases he's not a completely devoted Martial cultivator. Moreover, it is in the Huang Dragons' blood to take on multiple loves. In fact, I don't believe I ever heard of a famous powerhouse from there not having equally powerful lovers and wives."

As Xun Kang slowly listened, his eyes similarly started to brighten. A new innovated hope energized his mind, causing his tone to pick up a beat. 

"When feasibly looking at it, it will not be easy. Those Huang Dragons have immense pride that makes it hard for them to put anyone in their eyes. Even Cain's lover is a talent surpassing their own crown prince. Still, even with these challenges, hope is still there."

Xun Kang snapped over to Qiu Lan, only to find her expression still remained in deep ponderance. It was like she wasn't even listening to a word of their conversation.

Ignoring her oddities, Xun Kang told her, "Lan'er, for the upcoming Nightmare Realm, you must put your all into connecting with Cain. I am positive they will send him there for experiences since it is a golden opportunity for you very young geniuses. At the very least, you must help him as much as possible."

For a moment, Qiu Lan didn't properly react. Her mind truly was replaying the small record that was about Cain's Dragon Altar test. 

Just mere two months ago, he was a simple mortal who would never have a chance to cultivate.

His personality seemed simple and amicable enough to comfortably get along with. 

Qiu Lan for sure believed nothing significant could ever come out of their relationship and cause tremendous waves in her Martial Heart.

However now…Qiu Lan could say that current Cain and previous Cain were like night and day. 

Such a dramatic change in mere two months was almost bewildering to see. But at the same time, his achievements in Martial cultivation were impossible to not feel enthralled by. 

Especially how he domineeringly conquered the Dao Diagrams Essence, virtually writing new history in his family.

Even the younger generation Huang Dragons were wholly enraptured by Cain at that moment, much less Qiu Lan, who highly values everything about cultivation. 

Truthfully her own Martial Talent is even inferior to the lowest direct Royal descendants.

The steps between her and Cain were not small in the slightest. But, that only served to frantically fuel her curiosity. 

And when fully comprehending her master's words, her deep, azure eyes lit up like an sparkling ocean.

In her heart, she nearly couldn't contain her curiosity. 'Huang Cain…just what kind of secrets do you hold?'
