Chapter 241 - Stormy Appearance
At another section in the sky, close to the floating spring platform, the beautiful Song Lin and Huang Laolong were patiently waiting. Their eyes stayed glued to the spring platform, clear expectations filling both their gazes.
Compared to the doubtful youngsters, Song Long and Huang Laolong were far more aware of Cain and Kali's peculiar situation.
Shi Wei had, of course, explained to them about the trio's specialties but didn't go into great detail, leaving them completely hooked.
While not in the highest position of their Martial family, these Saint Dragon Elders still wanted to do everything in their power to see their family successfully prosper.
And of course, one of the most direct ways to achieve this is by birthing children with monstrously high Martial Talent that even eclipse them. Moreover, their offspring will make an excellent deterrent for their surrounding enemies until they are properly mature.
When considering all of this, it was only natural that Song Lin and Huang Laolong had some extravagant hopes.
But as they waited, Song Ling suddenly knit her brows.
She asked, "Seriously, I can already feel mother approaching. Just where on Earth is Dilong? He should be more than aware that this can potentially decide the future fate of our family. Have you talked with him at all?"
A pondering expression crossed Huang Laolong's face. Whenever it concerns the Dragon Emperor, he honestly didn't know just what to make of him. Even his reaction now still left him in some confusion.
After a few moments of ponderance, Huang Laolong said, "Don't worry, he will show up soon enough. At least, he wouldn't dare to miss this event. The thing is, he's been greatly preoccupied with the Phoenixes from trying to set up that meeting. Seems like he has some hidden agenda."
"Oh? Is that so? No doubt it concerns Zilong, right? It would make sense, considering he's personally guiding him more than usual. Barring him, has he made any comments on the other children?" Song Lin curiously asked.
As he began to speak, a strange glint flashed within Huang Laolong's eyes. "For a long time…no he hasn't, He hasn't even bothered with Leilong. But, after what mother told us, his interest in them greatly surged. Depending on how the future proceeds, he seems like he wants to have a meeting with them before the Phoenix event."
Song Lin knitted her brows, falling into contemplative silence.
Realistically, if Cain and Kali can showcase supreme Martial Talent, they would be able to ward off some of the pressure from the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands.
They can possibly prove that their younger generation is in no way inferior and that their imperial family is on a steady rise!
But at the same time, without appropriate cultivation, no matter the Martial Talent, the siblings won't be seen as a genuine threat.
The Mortal Path and Divine Path of cultivation are two entirely different dimensions; they just couldn't compare to each other. If thrust in too early, it could end up damaging their reputation more than raising it.
When considering this, Song Lin chose to stay silent, but her eyes became more intent as she focused on the Dragon Altar Steps.
As the seconds slowly trickled by, many were burning with curiosity over Shi Wei's appearance.
And finally, when nearly half a minute passed, an overwhelming Draconic Might spread throughout the entire celestial mountain!
All loud booming discussion suddenly turned complete dead silence.
This Draconic Might directly pressure everyone's Soul. From the younger generation to even the high-level Elders! A natural sense of submission birthed from within the Soul's Core, reverence swirled in everyone's eyes.
At this moment, a few dozens metes above the Dagon Altar Steps, space ripples started to deform the air. Then, just a moment later, space tore open, revealing a large space gap.
From it, four people slowly floated out.
Upon just nanoseconds of their first appearance, the whole immortal mountain instantly erupted back into a chaotic cacophony of noise!
"Ahh! Supreme Ancestor! And…is that the sixth princess and seventh prince?! They look…why do they look so different??"
"For that matter, who the hell is this silver-haired girl with them? She looks a bit ordinary."
"Who cares about that! Look at their cultivation! Somehow the sixth princess and seventh princess reach the Innate Lord Realm! So the rumors really were true…they both can cultivate!"
Indeed, floating far above everyone, as if they were immortals descending from the Heavens, were Shi Wei, Cain, Kali, and Amber.
Each of them inquisitive swept their gazes throughout the whole celestial mountain, not minding the chaotic noise.
Shi Wei stayed entirely indifferent, a small faint smile tugging her lips. She truly appeared as if everything was perfectly going to plan.
As for Cain, Kali, and Amber, they all appeared calm.
But internally, they all were significantly taken aback by this celestial mountain's sheer beauty, size, and energy. It wasn't anything like they had seen before.
Divine Trees pierced through the skies, radiating colorful lights from its vibrant leaves.
Divine Flowers and plants spread all throughout, giving the celestial mountain a sense of beautiful spring fill life.
And immortal spring lakes that trailed down numerous mountain hills valleys all looking so incredibly fresh to the point that one would feel an immense urge to dive into them.
Kali has never been outside of her Imperial Palace, so witnessing the outside of a God Galaxy was an enlightening experience for her.
Amber was comparing this scenery back to her homeland and remarked their massive plains, misty wilderness, and massive City are nothing but small uncivilized villages bumpkins!
Cain felt the most awe since he has the experience of modern Earth and a Lower Realm planet.
It was at this moment a crushing thought swirled his mind.
This is truly where the stage of God resides. He would be hard-pressed to find an average person among the ranks of God Galaxies cultivators.
And when realizing this, Cain knows he can't slack off for even a second. Doing so, and he might perhaps perish without a corpse!
"Xun…are sensing what I'm sensing? I keep on inspecting those two…but, nothing, absolutely nothing is changing at all!"
Over at their own section in the skies, Huang Dai couldn't suppress his bewilderment.
While others were focusing solely on the fact that Cain and Kali could cultivate, he, Xun, and Rulong were deeply inspecting their bodies.
Because they were being supported by grandmother and at a considerable distance, they couldn't detect much.
But, what they could perceive left them genuinely stunned.
Neither Cain nor Kali's dantian space was unstable or racked with chaotic essence of Heaven and Earth Origin energy!
In fact, they felt as they were sensing a deep ocean for both Cain and Kali! Such an occurrence, it could only mean one thing.
Huang Xun couldn't take her eyes off her younger siblings.
She quietly muttered on pure instinct, "I don't…but how? The Dragon Charm can't enhance foundation. Don't tell me…is this all they're doing??"
To reach the Innate Lord Realm in merely two months and some weeks, neither Huang Xun, Dai, or Rulong can say so.
Furthermore, none of them can say they can keep a fast cultivation speed while also maintaining their dantian space. Both seemed like concepts only the true geniuses could seemingly grasp.
And now, continually inspecting Cain and Kali's dantian, each young Dagons were forced to admit something very peculiar was occurring with them.
Still, Huang Rulong was far more unwilling to outwardly express this. It was too much a tough pill to sallow, nearly challenging the pride slumbering within his Martial Heart.
He slowly said, "Tch…whatever. It's just a somewhat solid foundation, nothing too outrageous. The real test began with those steps!
Throughout this entire time, neither Huang Xun, Dai, or Rulong paid overt attention to Amber. In fact, after only inspecting her once, they lost complete interest.
Just some outsiders aren't worth it for a more thorough inspection. If not she were with Shi Wei, then this whole celestial mountain would've exploded into a frenzy at this outsider.
Only Song Lin and Huang Laolong were seriously regarding Amber. They both their brows furrowed as they swept their gazes through her.
"So it would seem she has the Soul Dragon Mark. This is something our original ancestors could just barely form, and their talents were immense. And not only that, this Soul Dragon Mark just seems to radiate power. It's far surpassing than what I have seen before."
Song Lin's rapid-fire remarks came out second after second, leaving Huang Laolong zero chances to speak his own comments.
Still, he didn't have anything new to say.
It was only just they needed to adjust themselves as Amber is a full-fledged Huang Dragon of this community. Both Song Lin and Huang Laolong are willing to comprise.
But when it comes to a Soul Dragon Mark, they must see if this person is indeed worth it!
At this moment, within the chaotic storm of noise, a single voice suddenly echoed out.
This voice contained unfathomably suffocating prestige that led to no room for improvement. Nobody here doesn't dare to even breathe wrong around this.
"Greetings, everyone. The time is ripe for another Dragon Altar Step test. And the ones taking it will be the sixth princess, the seventh prince, and their companion Amber."
Nobody in the crowd dared to speak up. But many finally closely inspected Amber. As they did so, many started to shout from their Martial Hearts.
'This girl…she-she has a Soul Dragon Mark?! Wouldn't this means she one of owns!'
Many Huang Dragons, young to elders, couldn't so readily accept this. Not when everything was dropped onto him without any prior warning or buildup. But even so, time waits for nobody.
"Before we start, let me address one thing. Now then, as you all may be aware of, it was previous news that the sixth princess and seventh prince had zero cultivation aptitude. But you see, through a strange twist of fate, these two were blessed to regain a new cultivation aptitude. Today, these two royal children stand before you as a true equal. They're not anyway inferior to the other Royal Children's."
"Wh-what?!?" At that moment, the crowd couldn't suppress their calm; their thoughts and emotions were all in upheaval!
