The Chaos Dragon Prince

Nothing was said for a few moments. A strange yet tense silence fell between the two Royal siblings. 

All Huang Dai could do was stay quiet until Huang Xun decided to speak up about her troubles.

While waiting, a peculiar thought surfaced within Huang Dai's mind. 

Towards anyone else, Huang Xun remained indifferently cold, to the point where she seemed like an unwavering stature most of the time. It was admittedly impressive when thinking about it. 

They may be high and mighty God Galaxies cultivators' whole mental state been thoroughly tempered for dozens of years, but it would be incredibly difficult to suppress all manners of emotions.

In Huang Dai's eyes, it was slightly more challenging for them as they were a genuine species of a Dragon Godbeast. And as Dragons, they tend to develop innate pride and arrogance to an almost overwhelming degree.

This was simply something hardwired into their genetic codes and continues to permeate with each generation. Moreover, it wasn't unreasonable that their generation line continued this way.

Godbeast virtually stands at the absolute summit of the entire universe! 

Even as Humanity is commonly seen as the peak rulers, all Godbeasts are greatly revered by all other species. 

After all, Godbeasts have incredible potential that can put most other species to shame. Furthermore, they were a species that could continually evolve past any supposed limit, reaching heights never thought possible.

When considering all of this, naturally, Godbeasts will have a far greater haughty attitude compared to the average God Galaxy cultivator. 

And yet, Huang Dai couldn't say he ever saw Huang Xun showcase any kind of emotion besides indifference towards anyone else.

Even towards their parents, the current Dragon God Emperor, or their grandparents, it was a simple plain indifference. It's almost like she was born without that ingrained pride.

However, Huang Dai knows that wasn't precisely the truth. 

The real truth is Huang Xun is capable of showcasing at least other serious emotions when she's only with Huang Dai. Only he and nobody else ever saw Huang Xun become even slightly worried over a grave subject matter. 

To have such privileges certainly was peculiar to ponder about. But Huang Dai honestly didn't want to have it any other way.

He felt this small action made their relationship far closer than anyone else, allowing for a genuine sense of strong trust to develop between them. 

Moreover, Huang Dai felt a strange sense of ease seeing his usually indifferent sister finally showcasing worry. At least now he can safely confine with her about the problems simmering within his mind. 

Huang Dai could admit it may be an exaggeration, but he actually believes Huang Xun can adapt to any situation with enough time and eventually formulate a perfect plan.

As various thoughts rummaged Huang Dai's mind, Huang Xun was slowly taking hold of her own sludge of serious thoughts. 

She calmly sighed, her beautiful eyes blinking once before reigning back complete indifference clarity.

True to her mighty Martial state, all Huang Xun needed was a few moments to quell the puzzling thoughts within her mind. Along with her own abilities, the fact that she can confine to someone with her puzzling thoughts was an intriguing sensation.

She would never admit it out loud, but she did notice it was easier to quell her mental state with Huang Dai. 

With her mind calmer, her mask of indifference returned. Then, in a slow, even tone, she said, "I'm normally never one to admit this, but…the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands…they're becoming far more pressuring than I anticipated. You see, when you were in for little closed-door seclusion, those Phoenixes issued for a so-called friendly exchange event. And of course…our Dragon Emperor agreed to it."

"Mn?! Are you serious?" Huang Dai's brows instantly shot up, his whole face twisting in increasing surprise. 

All in that moment, a rise of pressure that was slumbering within his gut before had received a great shock.

Subconsciously, his palm gripped tighter, feeling just faint spots of sweat as he said, "Isn't this just going to devolve into a simple show pre-showing of our Martial Talent? This…I don't know what to say. I've heard some discerning news about those Phoenixes' recent progress."

Huang Xun lightly nodded. "You haven't heard wrong. Somehow…they're making better progress than even our top-tiers. And worst of all, they're spreading the word that their Holy Lands will become the leading successor of our entire realm. Some of them might truly think they can roll over this whole realm very soon."

When Godbeasts pride matches with other fellow Godbeasts, things will naturally dissolve into high tensions. Peacefully coexisting simply wasn't a reasonable nor logical argument for both sides.

The only way disasters could be avoided is when both sides are on an equal playing field. Only then would the disasters not outweigh the benefits of going with full-on war.

Still, this didn't stop the fierce rivalry from developing between the younger generation. 

In fact, it only becomes tenser as generations pass and all sorts of stories pass down, detailing how one side completely crushed over the others.

The fact that the Ancient Phoenix Holy Land are recently trying to spread the word that they're top Realm Ruler is undoubtedly strange but also a bit expected.

  Huang Dai took a brief moment of silence, his brows furrowing in thought. It didn't take him long at all to recall just why their behaviors were gradually becoming egregious. 

He then said, "I can probably tell why they're like this. You know it too, right? The Thunderous Collison Sea mystic realm is just around the corner. Don't know how long until it will happen. But with this opening, the lucky chances we all can get will be insane. And I bet those Phoenixes are banking their newfound confidence solely off from this fact."

"This…ah…my mind nearly slipped of that event." A slight glint twinkled within Huang Xun's eyes. Her mind suddenly recalled that the Thunderous Collison Sea mystic realm isn't anything she should take lightly. 

This mystic realm holds countless dangers that lead to certain death. But the rewards can honestly transform an average randy into a blossoming flower! 

For sure, the already powerful ones will crazily benefit from this event. It is directly known that the monstrous, ancient powerhouses across their entire Thunderous Collision realm transformed themselves in the Sea mystic realm. 

And for the current generation, this can significantly tip the scales in anyone's favor.

But even when considering all of this, Huang Xun slowly shook her head as she explained, "I can see how much more terrible it will become after the mystic realm opening. But even barring that, we still have other problems on our hands, especially since the exchange event is going to happen. During these days, I wasn't able to find much new about their talents. But I did learn that Fan Yanting will be one of the leaders when they come here. And he had made progress towards another Fall Stage."

"A-another one? Damn…breaking through this realm isn't supposed to be easy, you know….haah….I guess all that we can do is prepare ourselves." Huang Dai lightly sighed.

The only extreme Martial Talent that could possibly match the highest Talent within the Phoenix Holy Lands would be their Crown Prince. 

But even the Crown Prince is only making great strides towards advancing through the Divine Origin Realm. 

While their top-tier Talent can actually breakthrough a fall stage! 

Such Martial Talent simply couldn't be ignored. 

There might be a chance that this information was a false story produced by the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands. But Huang Dai heavily doubts that. 

Since they will have an exchange meeting very soon, lying about their abilities will only serve as a slap to their own faces.

And the farther down the line Martial cultivator progress, the more important one's face and pride become. 

These ancient, powerful Martial Cultivators know that they can't reach another breakthrough with their lifespan. So they invest all of their time and efforts into achieving what they had ever wanted. 

One of the most biggest aspects is gaining absolute respect. After all, since these Martial cultivators reached a point that would be considered god-like in other eyes, how could they not grow prideful?

Pride and face become almost as crucial as cultivating to even some Holy Lands. 

Huang Dai knows that his entire Dragon Imperial Family is no different when it comes down to pride and face. Thus, he entirely brought into the rumors surrounding the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands. 

After staying silent for a moment, Huang Xun suddenly strolled from her seat, getting a bit closer to Huang Dai while saying, "Alright, we'll speculate later. For now, it is time to finally seek out just where did Cain and Kali go. Their disappearance is the biggest mysterious out of everything I learned these past two months."

"Ah, right." 

Huang Dai instantly sobered up. Without pause, he traced his spatial ring and brought out a small crystal orb. 

The crystal orb was of an plain white color and didn't exude any semblance of Aura.

It may seem ordinary, but this crystal orb was the Aura Tracker crystal. By just infusing anything relating to either Cain or Kali within it, the crystal will automatically pick up on the sibling's general location.

As Huang Xun took the Aura Tracker crystal, suspicions gradually grew upon Huang Dai's face. They discussed this numerous times in these past months, but it still didn't become any clearer to him.

With evident confusion lacing his tone, Huang Dai asked, "Seriously, just how will those two help our current situation? I can't understand anything at all about Royal Grandmother means."

"And that's the problem." Huang Xun quickly gained a sharply critical look in her eyes. "The more I think upon it, the more suspicious Royal grandmother become. Her actions of shielding Cain and Kali don't make any sense at all. Moreover, she has effectively protected them for 18 years already; why change how things go now? Unless something heaven-shattering had happened to those two. No matter what, there is a great secret surrounding those two, and we will find it out."

Indomitable determination morphed Huang Xun's expression, making it seem like her words were absolute laws. Going against her seemed utterly impossible; the best was just to accordingly go along with her. 

Even though Huang Dai has a tempered mental state, he couldn't stop himself from falling into Huang Xun's momentum without any more questions.
