Chapter 240 - Dragon Altar Steps
The vastness of the God Galaxies indeed can't be understated. The boundless Void of the God Galaxy has a seemingly unending number of celestial stars, representing a celestial body.
Celestial bodies come in all shapes and sizes, such as elemental stars, massive planets, or even black holes comprised of the most potent essence contained within the universe.
From the countless celestial bodies inhabiting the Void, a significant portion of them can be called a Primary World.
Primary Worlds are where the essence of Heaven and Earth are the absolute purest and riches. Furthermore, the resources are at peak quality, and the inheritances that can be learned are all at Divine levels.
These Primary Worlds are all unimaginably massive, containing an endless breadth of land that could possibly fit Lower Realm planets.
For most lifeforms inhabiting the God Galaxies Realms, they would set up their territories on these Primary Worlds, causing for their cultivation to properly blossom.
With the peak resources of the universe, the richest essence of Heaven and Earth, powerful Law environments, and peak inheritance, Martial Cultivators could genuinely be called godly.
At the very least, God Galaxies Martial Cultivators were countless times more powerful than any Lower Realm.
Moreover, despite such massive distance separating everyone in the Divine Void, Martial Cultivators created an interconnected system that at least allows for the Primary Worlds to stay in reasonable contact with each other.
For the Huang Dragon Imperial Palace they were located in the Thunderous Collision Primary World.
And within this Primary World, the Huang Dragons managed to occupy their own boundless territory, effectively transforming it into their own hidden world.
In the Huang Dragon hidden world, a formless mist aura of spiritual energy covered it, making it look incredibly mystical to outsiders. Within this mist aura, there were numerous floating celestial mountains and immortal islands expanding on tens of thousands of miles.
Each celestial mountain and immortal islands were covered with beautiful heavenly resources such as divine trees and flowers that all radiated with vibrant lights that could pierce through the sky. Each divine flower and tree were precious treasures of the Heaven and Earth.
Running along the numerous valley hills were beautiful, crystal clear spring waters, exuding refreshing fragrance that can lull anyone into a trance.
The Spring waters came from the finest of Heavenly Nector, and the divine trees and flowers were nurtured by the Heaven and Earth for countless years.
Just a single immortal spirit flower can create numerous heavenly materials that could completely transform any Lower Realm being.
To keep these extravagant places vibrant and thriving, another powerful energy was infused into the environment. All celestial mountains and immortal islands were continually supported by the formless mist aura of spirit energy, allowing them to continually exist for numerous generations.
Countless Spirit Birds and beasts soar through the skies, creating a majestic scenery that seemed straight out of grand mythology. It was a sight that would be unforgettable for one's entire life.
Because of the massive breadth of lands of the celestial mountains, some even surpassing the size of smaller planets, metropolis of cities was accordingly set up here.
These cities could be just as, if not bigger than Lower Realm's mortal nations!
But not just only did metropolis cities inhabit these celestial mountains, but there were also specially made areas for Huang Dragons specific events.
And on one celestial mountain, such an event was currently unfolding.
Here on this celestial mountain, hundreds of thousands of Huang Dragons Clansmen gathered, converging at one specific spot.
"Ahh… every time I see the Dragon Altar, I'm always left in awe. Even my blood is boiling just from being in its mighty presence!"
"If only I can cultivate here for just a short time, my cultivation will skyrocket. Alas…hopefully, the sixth princess and seventh prince will make this trip worthwhile."
"Speaking of them, where are they? Nobody saw even a trace of them for nearly two months. And now they're coming back, claiming they can cultivate? This is almost ridiculous!"
All Huang Dragon Clansman gathered on an incomparably massively Martial field, large enough to easily fit hundreds of thousands of them.
And dozens of meters above them was the center of everyone's attention.
A gorgeous spring land, extending for hundreds of miles, majestically floated and contained equally majestic Altar Steps.
These Altar steps reached dozens of meters high into the skies, and the length of each step similarly spreads for dozens of meters.
Perfectly decorating the Altar Step were numerous patterns of Divine Dragons that nearly looked life-like. Each Dragon Art exuded a mystical aura, containing unfathomable energy far surpassing the younger generation of the Huang Dragons.
This was the Huang Dragons legendary treasure, the mystical Dragon Altar Step!
Coming here is an uncommon occurrence, and whenever the event does start, shocking results are bound to happen.
At least, under standard times, that is.
But now, nobody was sure if they were going to witness anything mind-shattering.
After all, this was a test for two previously known waste of Martial Cultivators. Wastes that were confirmed to never be able to cultivate no matter the means and holds curses that no World Spirit Masters could figure out.
Naturally, when hearing that these two clear cases were suddenly all a lie, disbelief and disdain for them increased.
The disbelief and disdain weren't incredibly high just a day ago. But now, as the test were mere moments from occurring, it was challenging for the Huang Dragons to just so readily admit that Cain and Kali had anything worthwhile going for them.
The only rule that permeates the entire God Galaxy Realm is supreme strength, the true Law of the jungle!
With all emphasis placed on this, it was only natural that those without any way to cultivate the principle of Heaven and Earth would get harshly outcasted.
And from biases, disdain will only grow.
"Heh. Just how many steps do you think those Royal Children can get? I'm betting, at most around three steps, if they're lucky!"
"Three steps?" One young Huang Dragon scoffed. "I will be surprised at two steps. If they could so easily recover their cultivation, how come there wasn't any Heavenly Retribution? Or really, any phenomena from the Dao? No matter how they managed to cultivate, it can only be trash."
"Maybe it won't be complete garbage. The sixth princess and seventh prince may have a trash foundation, but they can rely on their blood to force through. I say, at least four steps."
Conversations between the Huang Dragons turned increasingly chaotic. Public opinions gradually shifted towards complete negativity. Especially when hearing about the Heavenly Retribution.
God Galaxies were more aware than most about how rigid the Heavenly Dao was. Anything that wants to transcend past their predetermined fate is simply seeking the ultimate wrath.
And in most Huang Dragon's minds, Cain and Kali's zero cultivation aptitude just had to be the doing of the Heavenly Dao.
If they did somehow surpass against it, that kind of news should've been instantly spread out.
Yet, they all were met with nothing.
The most they received was words from their Dragon Emperor, who honestly didn't explain much as well.
High up in the skies, looking down on all other Huang Dragon Clansmen were numerous figures.
These people could all easily fly despite the restrictive environment affecting hundreds of thousands. This was because everyone here has a far higher tier of Dragon God bloodline that bypasses the restrictions.
Many that were up here were either high-level Elders or similar figures. Or they were direct Royal descendent children!
At one region in the skies, Huang Dai and Xun stayed close to each other and only several meters away from one handsome man.
This man stood incomparably proudly against the whistling wind, causing his long flowing hair and luxurious Dragon robes to majestically flap. His eyes looked down on everyone on the ground, treating his fellow Clansmen as if they were merely part of the average crowd.
Arrogance and pride were inscribed into the very being of his Martial Heart and continually forged itself throughout his long years.
He was another direct Royal descendent, Huang Rulong!
Between Huang Rulong, Dai and Xun, a strange, tense silence permeated.
Truthfully, Huang Rulong had arrived not too long ago. And at his appearance, Huang Dai and Xun quickly quiet down.
Like many Martial Sects and Family, the internal competition will always be fierce and merciless. Barely any harmony sowed between these Royal descendants, making it difficult for one to talk to another.
Still, Huang Xun knows greetings are appropriate to order.
She calmly spoke, not bothering to take a single glance at Huang Rulong, "Rulong, is it only just you here? Where are the others? Even for them, this surely is an important event."
Instead of promptly responding, Huang Rulong glanced over to specifically Xun, completely ignoring Dai. His arrogant gaze gained a hint of mockery as he regarded his younger siblings before instantly snapping back forward.
In a plain tone, he said, "Important event? I can only doubt if this is really essential or not. After all, what can those two truly achieve? No matter what, it would be subpar at best, not really worth putting on this huge performance."
"Is that what you think, huh?"
Huang Dai furrowed his brows. His views may align with Rulong, but the mere fact it is him saying in his usual arrogant tone didn't sit well at all.
To others, they would believe Huang Rulong's overflowing pride is natural. But to him, he's simply far too annoying!
Huang Dai continued to say, "I mean…who knows? This is an event organized by grandmother and the Ancestors? Are you looking down on their decisions?"
"Hmph. Did I say that? No. All I'm insinuating is to keep our hopes very low. Our results were already greatly unprecedented. And Zilong has never happened in ten thousand years. No matter what the Heavenly Dao blessed them with or how fast their cultivation increased, it will all be for naught. And by the way, the others will come very soon."
Huang Rulong concluded, shifting his attention off from Dai and Xun, intending to ignore for the rest of the event.
Glancing between each other, Huang Dai and Xun curled their brows.
Huang Dai suddenly spoke with a Qi Sound transmission, "Say, before this thing starts, are you still feeling any odd sensations about this event?" Pausing for a moment, Huang Xun focused her senses.
However, moments later, she soon slightly shook her head, saying, "It's… I'm not sure what I'm feeling.. Let's just wait and see."
