The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 50: Spirit Cave

Dozens of miles away from the Liang Tribe compound.

Around this area, things were of the usual eerie quietness. Neither vicious beasts nor humans roamed around this area.

And if anyone were to pass by this area, it would simply be impossible to detect any lifeforms.

But suddenly, a bright green light shrouded everything for several meters. The green light lasted only for a second before revealing a pair of youths.

Of course, these youths were Cain and Kali.

Immediately when they touched the ground, the sibling duo sped over to a large bush, hopping inside it to cover their forms. Neither of them even register the flaring pain in their arms or their massive drain of energy.

As they quickly hid, Cain swept his senses over himself and Kali. He took a slight breath sensing that their Chaotic Concealment was in full effect.

“Haah….alright. We can take a breather.” Cain exhaled another sigh, one that was filled with fatigue this time.

After continually exerting both his soul and Qi energy, Cain nearly wanted to lay down right in the bushes.

He, of course, didn’t do so as they were in enemy territory. But the thought of doing so was incredibly tempting.

“Heh….yea….a breather.” Kali’s tone sounded slightly bitter.

After all, how could she not be bitter? Those Liang Tribe guards forced them to leave like that! Like they were some kind of weak rats!

Kali’s pride as a Dragon couldn’t accept this a single bit.

She oh so desperately wanted to unleash a might beyond their comprehension. However, she is also fully aware that simply isn’t possible right now.

And these conflicting feelings quickly turned her mind bitter.

At that moment, Cain was already moving before he knew it. Sensing her rapidly declining mood, he gently grasped Kali’s shoulder.

Immediately with his touch, she shudders slightly before relaxing into his palm. By just one touch, Kali genuinely felt calmer since her dear brother was here to comfort her.

And while he began calming her down, Cain felt something heavy strike his mind.

He cast a profound look at Kali while thinking, ‘I guess in some way, she still is an inexperienced youth. Especially with great pride, handling losses won’t be so easy.’

Instead of the usual arrogant, battle-hungry maiden, Kali now looks more genuine. Her raw emotions weren’t covered up by a haughty air anymore.

This kind of saddening expression promptly brought up past familiar feelings Cain thought pushed down long ago.

Purely acting on his brotherly instincts, Cain began talking in a hypnotic, soothing tone. “Kali, no matter if we’re Dragons, we can’t be expected to win all of the time. Especially as we want to crazily get stronger, we will need to face all kinds of people far stronger than us. But, with every tribulation we cross, we will only get stronger. So don’t think of this as a disgrace but as a stepping stone to, later on, crush them beneath our feet.”

Kali stayed silent, carefully processing each of Cain’s words. Finally, her sour mood started to lessen as she could understand the basis of his speech.

Losing indeed was a natural part of life. And the sting from it hits harder when your pride is engraved into your bloodline.

Contemplating all of this, Kali then focused specifically on the last part of Cain’s speech.

“Crush them beneath our feet, huh….heh…heh, yea, of course!”

Suddenly a new vigor sparked within Kali’s eyes. She continued to say, “This whole damn planet is our stepping stone. So naturally, they will come a day where we crush them all beneath our feet! No matter the trials we face, the end result won’t change. Ah, of course!”

Within just a moment, Kali bounced back as if that last battle never affected her. Her arrogant, domineering momentum returned at full force.

Cain felt a wry smile form. Even if his sister has moments of calmness, she’ll promptly go right back to her true personality.

Cain could only see that is a good and a problematic trait. For sure, he could assume troublesome situations may arise over his and Kali’s mighty attitude. It’s simply inevitable for them at this point.

However, Cain wasn’t put off from this point at all. On the contrary, his determination only grew, similarly disliking the sting of losing.

But now, because of their loss, he and Kali gained an incredible treasure.

“Alright, alright, let’s calm it down now. From our talk, I didn’t sense anyone about a hundred miles here. So let’s heal our injuries and energies, then get going.” Cain explained their next course of action.

At this point, Kali cemented Cain as the true leader within their duo. She promptly listened to Cain, making herself get comfortable from within the bush.

Cain also did the same and began tracing his spatial ring, preparing the road to recovery.

….

Once Cain and Kali were back to one hundred percent, the sibling duo made immediate haste.

Cain had pulled out a special map graciously provided by the Liang Tribe and was following its specific directions.

While traveling, Cain and Kali made an extra effort to stay hidden between trees and bushes. Although nobody could sense them, it would be a grave mistake if anyone caught the slightest glimpse of them.

Contemplating this issue, Cain wondered if it was a mistake not to do something to cover up their faces. Hell, he also saw it was a mistake to not change their clothes.

Luckily, during their fight, the Nascent guards had zero chances to properly recognize their Kong Clan’s clothes.

Cain also doubted they could recognize their faces since their battle lasted for at most thirty seconds.

Still, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Then, after soaring through the woods for around fifteen minutes, Cain and Kali suddenly stopped in front of a plain sight. At that moment, any previous sour feelings they had instantly cleared up.

Their eyes lit up with excited glee as if they just received the best present in the entire world.

And all that was in front of the sibling duo was an ordinary-looking cave.

The cave’s entrance was heavily pitch black, more than any other cave but nothing truly remarkable. Nothing about the cave stood out at all. There was no intricate design, sensations of energy flowing out of it, or even any sign that people went inside the cave.

With how plain it is, most if not all cultivators would simply walk right past this cave. And little did they know, inside this cave could potentially be a gift that could change the course of anyone’s destiny forever.

“So? How should we do it? I guess you’re gonna need to whip that key out, brother. Otherwise, there’s probably some invisible barrier blocking the entrance.” Kali suddenly suggested.

Though she couldn’t sense the faintest of Spirit Energy, it seemed more than obvious to her.

Cain was in the same agreement. He didn’t waste time talking, swiftly taking out the light blue spirit key from his spatial ring.

Cain then took the key in one of his hands and then used his other to grasp Kali’s hand, assuming they needed to be connected so they both could enter.

Without any more words needed to be share, the sibling duo walked straight towards the cave.

As they inch closer and closer, nothing out of the ordinary occurred. It wasn’t until they were right in front of the cave that an incredible scene started.

Before Cain and Kali’s very eyes, a bright layer of blue energy suddenly covered the entire entrance.

An abundance of rich Spirit Energy flowed out of the cave, permeating into the air.

Cain and Kali were surprised and in slight awe. But they didn’t even have time for that.

Immediately when the cave’s entrance was engulfed with Spirit Energy, their Spirit Key suddenly released a strong pulse of Spirit Energy.

The same bright blue glow shimmered out of the key, directly crashing into the cave’s entrance.

‘Chi!’

With the faint sound of something getting ripped open, a large hole tore open the cave’s entrance Spirit Energy.

Watching the cave open right before them, Cain and Kali’s blood pumped to an even higher degree.

Absolute glee plastered on their faces. The mysterious power of World Spirit Force is right in front of them!

For Cain, he may not have a long history knowing about World Spirit Force. In fact, it’s merely been nearly a week since learning about it. But the will to explore new depths of ultimate power excited him like no other.

This is another step to him attaining true freedom across the entire universe!

As for Kali, she felt like it was a dream come true.

For years, World Spirit Force Masters seemed just as mysterious as the almighty figures in her imperial family. Both have powers beyond her comprehension. Not even her genius siblings could attain a power that is equal to Qi cultivation.

Before Cain’s awakening, she never thought a day like this would come. But after just days ago, her whole fate was turned upside on its head!

Subconsciously Cain and Kali gripped each other hands tighter. Then, in sync, they both took a slight breath before stepping right into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, a bright flash blinded both Cain and Kali.

At the same time they were forced to shut their eyes, space heavily distorted around them. Cain and Kali creased their brows, gritted their teeth, and forcefully resisted the space distortion.

Cain and Kali felt as if it was a great power suction attempting to rip their bodies in half.

This tearing suction didn’t last long, however.

After only a few seconds, the mighty force disappeared.

Cain and Kali also felt the sting blinding their eyes evaporate as well. As things finally felt safe, the sibling duo swiftly opened their eyes, feeling just slightly dazed.

Upon opening their eyes, Cain and Kali promptly studied their surroundings. They had to blink their eyes several times, trying to adjust this to this sudden shift.

Instead of just entering some dark cave, Cain and Kali ended up in a boundless space filled entirely in a radiant blue brilliance!
