The Chaos Dragon Prince

On the outside, Cain’s and Amber’s expressions stayed slightly indifferent, as if it was only somewhat surprising news to them. But internally, their killing intent was fully ignited.

This perhaps might be the most insidious move conducted on them. If not for Chaos energy, the duo, or really, anyone else in their position would’ve fallen prey right into their trap.

At this point, Cain and Amber didn’t care which faction Senior Master Juo was from.

He will die, no question asked!

And to the one who did give him this order, their dead-end will come soon enough as well.

Wen Shao was a person the duo already had on their list. A person like him who likes to strike and wait is as dangerous as a poisonous snake. Even now, the duo was anticipating for Wen Shao to take more direct actions.

As for Wen Dao, if he truly decided to make an enemy out of them, Cain and Amber saw no reason to spare him. Divine Decree Lord or not, he would simply be another stepping stone.

Still, Cain’s face appeared as calm as water. He simply put the golden bug away while giving a simple nod.

Elder Heng’s eyes lit up as she continue to say, “Oh, that’s right. I’ve heard you’ve two been to the Spirit Association temple, right?”

Unsurprised by the quick news of their movements, Cain said, “Indeed. We had actually met up with Senior Master Juo and had a short meeting with him.”

Elder Heng crossed her arms with a small frown. “That kid? Be careful of him. He is under Wen Shao’s faction, and I’m sure you’re aware of the circumstances with him.”

This confirmation only served to further ignite the duo’s killing intent. It was still up to question whether or not Senior Master Juo was ordered by Wen Shao.

But in either case, Senior Master Juo won’t be living to see the light of day very soon.

Naturally, Cain and Amber didn’t showcase any wavering emotions, and Cain gave a simple nod. “Thank you, Elder Heng, for the heads up.”

Pausing for a moment, Cain continued to ask, “One more thing, Elder Heng, I’ve been reading around about controlling two Laws within their Inner World. I’m curious about it. The text says one’s attainment must be high and the soul must be powerful. But I also hope that Elder Heng can give me any extra advice.”

“You want to know more about two Law controls?” Elder Heng squinted her eyes.

She would normally scoff at the idea of any other disciples, even to the Supreme direct disciples. After all, two or more Law control is rarer than geniuses with realm-jumping combat prowess.

This required comprehension abilities that can eventually surpass her own, that of Primal Sovereign and even legendary Heavenly Venerate existences.

As a Holy King Elder, she was far more aware of the people who were able to attain two Great Daos. And every single one of those supreme figures stands either near or at the summit of the entire God Galaxy.

Elder Heng didn’t even have faith in Wen Dao to achieve just two Great Daos.

However, when faced with Cain asking the question, Elder Heng treated it with considerable weight.

She slowly said, “Right, the requirements to control two or more Great Dao Laws are immensely high. So high to a point it’s rare to see even the highest Primal Sovereign grandmasters with simply two Great Dao Laws. For the soul, that will simply depend on your luck. The Divine Boundless Heaven has seen a severe drop in all manners of soul cultivation for the last couple of eras.”

“It really extends that far? Didn’t those eras occur over millions of years ago?” Cain exclaimed, genuinely surprised.

Elder Heng could only lightly sigh. “Even in the generation I was born in, soul cultivation was very rare. Only those in the Heavenly Great Realms even have a chance to find a suitable soul cultivation method.”

Amber decided to speak up and ask, “Was there ever a time when soul cultivation was blooming? It almost sounds like there was an era where soul cultivation saw a great rise.”

At this point, Elder Heng’s smile was a mix of regret and longing. “There has been a time during my status as a Holy King where I did a lot of information gathering on the past eras. Information that wasn’t readily available to the public. And I only manage to find that during the middle of the Emperor Spirit Era, soul cultivation was at its very peak. There were even several Heavenly Venerates who had mastered the Soul Path. Some sources even cite that those Heavenly Venerate were among the strongest in that generation. But alas, those mighty Heavenly Venerates simply couldn’t withstand the brutal nature of the Crystal Spirits. It was said that the Soul Path, along with any other extremely powerful path out of the common norm, was nearly completely destroyed by the Crystal Spirits. All we have left is just scraps and bits from our grand ancestors.”

Various things popped into the duo’s mind as they listened in. The Crystal Spirits made them faintly recall the time they were in the Sea Collision Realm.

That mysterious man who not only had this strange, yet immense hatred for the Divine Boundless Heaven as a whole and his control over that Primal Vaiser demonic beast, was most likely the doing of a being from far in the ancient past.

Naturally, Cain and Amber can’t confirm if that mysterious man was a Crystal Spirit since neither of them had gotten a good look at him.

But Cain was willing to bet that his guess shouldn’t be too far off from the mark since that mysterious man was confirmed to be controlling a Primal Vaiser demonic beast.

But more than just the mysterious, hooded man, the duo felt their curiosity piqued at the Soul Path Heavenly Venerate.

Because for their Divine Ascension, they had used the mysterious ritual formation of a Soul Path Heavenly Venerate!

Only because of that Heavenly Venerate, could the duo smoothly transition into the Divine Origin realm and gain an Inner Soul World, directly skipping numerous steps of soul cultivation.

The strangest thing of it all was the fact that before they even found the ritual, there were several others, including the Zhou Family themselves, that were looking for this mysterious soul power.𝒪𝒱𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t

It may have been more than a million years since the Emperor Spirit Era, but inheritance like that soul ritual seems to be in perfect condition.

Perhaps soul cultivation wasn’t as much as a lost clause?

Just maybe there were hidden inheritances across the entire God Galaxy with the ultimate secret to soul cultivation?

Cain and Amber could’ve mentioned this time to Elder Heng. However, they held their tongue.

A secret like that soul ritual formation would need to be kept as a great secret until they either find someone they trust with all of their hearts, like Shi Wei, or they’re simply strong enough to deal with other people’s hidden agendas.

Moving past this subject, Cain asked next, “Since soul cultivation is all dependent on luck, what about attainment levels?”

Elder Heng’s face gained a more natural expression as she nodded. “Ah, this is more straightforward to explain. As you may know, increasing one’s attainment level does take a lengthy amount of time. Even thousands of years seem too short for a small rise in attainment levels. My own attainment level isn’t high, only up to the Advanced level in both the Heaven and Earth Path and the Source Law Path. But even so, I have considerable information on the quasi-grandmaster attainment level.”

Cain and Amber felt a small rise of shock at Elder Heng’s calm admittance of her attainment level.

Cain cautiously asked, “You only have Advanced level attainment, Elder Heng? But you’re a-“

“A Peak Holy King master with thousands upon thousands of years of life experience, right?” Elder Heng smiled with amusement. “I can tell your attainment level is terrifyingly high Martial Junior just because you have an interest in two or more Great Dao Laws. But don’t forget, increasing the attainment level is just too difficult. It’s why there are so fewer Primal Sovereigns and even fewer Heavenly Venerates because of the requirement for the appropriate attainment level. Holy King experts would use their single million-year lifespan in hopes of breaching past peak Holy King only to never be able to reach half-step Primal Sovereign. It really is no wonder that many don’t bother with two or more Great Dao Laws. Such a thing only sounds like a fairytale.”

All of this helped put things into perspective for both Cain and Amber. They already knew about the importance of attainment levels from Shi Wei. But hearing it from a Holy King master, a peak one at that, made them feel a heavier weight about the attainment paths.

Now, they felt even more grateful about obtaining those Spiritual Sea Cores. It was a direct shortcut to their current and future cultivation.

Cain then focused up as he asked, “I would greatly appreciate it if Elder Heng can show me anything of what you learned.”

Elder Heng lightly smiled and causally waved off Cain’s polite gesture. “I only know the bare bones compared to what Supreme Elder Xi taught me. So, instead of me explaining it to you, focus on the flow of how I control my Supreme Divine Laws. Experiencing it is much better than plainly listening to it.”

In an instant, Cain and even Amber went into a meditative position. Their Divine Senses stayed completely locked onto Elder Heng.
