The Chaos Dragon Prince

“Ah!” Lan Rui was a bit startled. Her head quickly shook as she studied Elder Ma’s divine presence.

“Did it work, master? Have your injuries finally cured themselves?”

“Indeed, it has. As expected of Life Laws…such a mystical force beyond our comprehension.” Elder Ma told in a warm tone. Her face was calm. Yet, the small smile curling her heavenly face shined brighter than the stars.

“This-this…this is just perfect, master!” An unexpected shout of joy soothed out of Lan Rui’s mouth.

That calm mask faded away. Her beautiful face glowed up in pure bliss!

It was especially stunning for Cain to witness such a side. He had to say, this was most likely the first time he ever saw Lan Rui emote in such an exaggerated way. It was incredibly cute. He smiled with great amusement.

Although, the moment did not last long. The sense of reality quickly struck Lan Rui.

“Ah-I mean…” Lan Rui quickly took a deep breath. A color of embarrassment touched her cheek. She hurriedly bowed in respect.

“Master can finally put her all into her Dao path. And it was all…all thanks to you, martial brother.” A sincere tone of gratitude overflowed from Lan Rui’s voice. She really couldn’t ask for a greater gift than this.

Elder Ma didn’t put up any airs. She nodded to Cain and spoke, not as an unfathomable senior, but one of complete gratitude. “Lee, this gift of yours really is immense. I’m in your honest debt.”

“You two are always so serious.” Elder Xi’s nonchalant voice cut into the atmosphere. Her smile was far more causal as she said, “I would say to ask for a reward, but this boy is just as serious as you two.”

Cain calmly smiled. “The only reason I did all of this was to help out a friend, master. There’s no need to bring up rewards or gratitude.”

It wasn’t as if Cain held some sort of moral compass like other cultivators. But it genuinely did not sit right with him to extort people he liked. Seeing their honest gratitude was enough for him.

“Mn! My sister truly did choose an honest disciple!” Elder Ma had a slightly more joyful tone compared to usual.

But it was at this point that her expression became a bit more serious. “However, while I do admit this was an amazing achievement, we must properly discuss just how something so enriching in Life Laws was simply hiding within a common mystic realm. A mystic realm only dangerous to Holy King masters. It’s astounding to me that not a single rogue grandmaster was able to stumble upon this treasure.”

“Oh, little Ma.” Elder Xi wryly smiled. “What do I always say? Not everything needs to be attached with some profound meaning. Our Wintry World is incomparably massive. Who’s to really say anyone of us had explored it to its extreme depth? Genius’ luck is always out of common sense. It seems more plausible to blame it all on the luck of a Divine Mortal.”

“You…it can’t be that simple.”

Elder Ma gently shook her head. To be more superstitious was in her nature. It certainly saved her numerous times in the past. And just luckily stumbling across Life Laws seemed far too suspicious.

After all, even Heavenly Venerate existence would go crazy over the effects of Life Laws!

Cain and Lan Rui looked on with slightly puzzled expressions. Their natures are inclined to agree with Elder Ma. But this situation seemed a bit beyond superstitions.𝑜𝓋𝑳xt.𝗇𝓔t

Cain had tentatively spoken up. “Excuse me master, Elder Ma. But, I do have some odd news to report. There was an abundance of Holy King masters within the Frost Islands. The group we met and the rest of them were looking for the exact same treasure that seemed to have pointed in the direction of the life-vein tree. Moreover, two talented Holy King masters specifically targeted me while searching for the treasure. I caught one of their names. She was called demoness Hua. The other had immensely powerful Fire Laws.”

“Oh? Some specifically targeted you? We’ll have to look into that.” Elder Xi treated that news more seriously than anything else.

She and even Elder Ma felt a spike of killing intent. It was one thing to face life-or-death trials against other cultivators. But it’s another to have a specific vendetta against someone.

The Supreme Elders certainly want Cain to develop his own Dao path. But not at the cost of potentially losing his life from vicious outside forces.

Cain wasn’t done yet. He continued to say, “At the end of the Frost Islands, we had come across a remnant spirit of a Heavenly Venerate existence. And he told us…well, something blatantly ominous. He told that we need to urgently increase our cultivation as the God Galaxy will experience great trouble in the future.”

Once those words left Cain’s mouth, the whole mood shifted.

Elder Xi and Elder Ma’s eyes briefly narrowed. Their minds ran at a million miles per second. Numerous matters flashed through their heads. None of it is good in the slightest.

“Master…?” Lan Rui tentatively called out. Never before had she witnessed such dour expressions changing the faces of her unfathomable masters.

After all, these were the grandmasters of cultivation! Their state of mind is practically tougher than divine metal.

Anything that can make grandmasters become so somber could inspire chills in countless worlds.

Cain’s thought went even further. Flashes of his memory from the Sea Collision Realm sparkled within his mind. He couldn’t help but think about that moment.

Those chilling words that hooded robe man still set deep inside his soul.

Making the entire God Galaxy pay.

It wasn’t clear at this time. Nor is it clear at this time. But perhaps that ominous threat may come sooner than he could ever think.

That somber mood shifting the Supreme Elder’s minds quickly vanished. The elders regained their calm.

Elder Xi asked, “Did that Heavenly Venerate provide you with his name? Or anything else important?”

“Unfortunately not.” Cain regretfully shook his head. “He simply told us that warning before making the entire Frost Islands disappear.”

Staying silent for a moment, Elder Ma’s brows curled as she said, “The Frost Islands…barely anyone of us paid attention to that mystic realm. It seemed far too ordinary. We fathom it couldn’t possibly reach the Heavenly Venerate realm level. Typically, those mystic realms cause a worldwide disturbance across a star planet.”

That was the power of a Heavenly Venerate existence. Even the mere vibrations can affect an entire God Galaxy planet!

Cain and Lan Rui were silently shocked. That would mean the mere vibration of their auras can extend up to millions of miles!

Just how powerful is the true body of a Heavenly Venerate?

Neither Cain nor Lan Rui dared to think about it.

“Within our God Galaxy, there are numerous ancient, hidden, or mysterious Heavenly Venerate. A case like the Frost Islands is rare, but not uncommon.” Elder Xi declared.

She then gave an intent look over Cain. The Divine Mortal of this generation. Those ominous words brought up some warning bells and concerns. But the situation is still just in a vague state.

Elder Xi continued to say, “Those words are worthy of concern. And I will admit, there are some strange rumors circulating our God Galaxy. But nothing is confirmed as of now. Everything is still either lies or only minor guesses without any evidence. We should be cautious, but not let ourselves become warped with fraught and worry. It should go without saying you two and everyone else must stay diligent with their cultivation. Despite my confident words, I simply can’t predict if an unexpected situation were to befall us.”

“Understood.” Cain and Lan Rui seriously nodded. They carved these words into their souls.
