Chapter 236 - Ancient Dragons

Seeing Joy's wavering worry, Cain decided to give the final push. He secretly stimulated his Soul's Core, silently gushing out the incomparable prestige of a Dragon Might. 

This was actually just Cain's inborn Soul pressure that carries the purest genes of previous Dragon God Ancestors.

Such might couldn't be endured by any ordinary humans. And, of course, lower-level monster species bloodlines wouldn't be able to efficiently deal with it.

Upon experiencing this Dragon Might, Joy, Amiel, and even Amber only felt a slight pull towards Cain. Their eyes stare unblinkingly at him.

The Dragon Might didn't suppress but rather acted as a charm, similar to Gao Hiyashi's bloodline charm abilities. 

Wanting to submit to a Dragon Might was natural. It was nearly similar to the nature of their world. The weak will worship the strong, treating them as fable gods or emperors, falling completely in line with the natural order.

As neither Joy nor Amiel has any attainments with Soul cultivation, they naturally couldn't identify this Soul Aura, only treating it as if Cain was gathering momentum. 

With his desired results achieved, Cain faintly smiled, saying, "You don't need to worry, Senior Joy. I have already thoroughly discussed this with Master Bellax, and she provided me with various great resources for us to use. Moreover, I can use my special status to receive protection from other World Spirit Master Branch."

Hearing this, Joy and Amiel unconsciously felt a great deal of tension leave their bodies. A small smile etched across their lips. 

In terms of protection, how could they not feel relief over this outcome?

Anything handed from the World Spirit Master Branch is incomparably valuable. Even in their merciless world, Martial cultivators alike are smart enough to not so carelessly throw their lives away.

And at this thought, Joy's eyes brighten. She suddenly reached into her pocket, traced it, and took out a crimson pendant. 

A faint luminous shine sparkled from the crimson pendant, exuding light that reflected upon Cain and Amber's face.

Immediately, Cain and Amber zeroed their attention on the pendant. Sweeping their senses over it, the young couple felt a slight rise of shock. Their eyes slightly widened, just barely recognizing the energy within this pendant.

'This…this is similar to World Source Laws!' Cain felt honestly impressed. 

When perceiving World Source Laws, it exuded a sensation as if he was sinking into the depths of nature itself.

It was essence completely different from Heaven and Earth Origin energy, easy to detect when one reaches the Innate Lord Realm. 

Of course, with Cain's perception, detecting traces of World Source Laws comes exceptionally naturally to him.

But, there was something very peculiar about this pendant's Law essence. Mixed in with its World Source Laws was another essence that felt strangely very similar to him. 

It was like he could sense a trace of space within the pendant! 

Cain furrowed his brows. 'Could this possibly be the Laws of Space? Or at the very least, a trace of Minor Space Laws? Never expected a treasure like this here…'

As Cain briefly pondered, Amber couldn't hold her questions, directly asking, "Mother? Could this possibly be one of our Relic Artifacts? If I remember right…these Artifacts all hold traces of Source Laws, right? Although, I'm sensing some unfamiliar essence within that pendant."

"Mn. It is indeed a Relic Artifact." Amiel spoke up to answer. "Just infuse your energy into it, and it will allow you to escape whatever situation that may unexpectedly happen. This Artifact was created by one of our first Vampire Ancestors. During so long ago, when Martial Cultivation was in its golden age, he had great attainments in the fable Law of Space. With this, dare I say you can avoid trouble from even the first rank Province. Its distance covers hundreds of thousands of miles."

"So much?" Cain and Amber simultaneously mumbled, their gaze turning brighter. 

In terms of the boundless Source Laws, it was difficult to trace every single one of them.

Throughout all the books Cain and Amber researched on Source Laws, they had only managed to retain a tiny amount of information on it. And even then, most information was on Fire, Water, or Wind Laws.

After all, wanting to comprehend Heavenly Dao's Source Laws is no easy task. In fact, it could be said it was a much more difficult task than simply perceiving the essence of Heaven and Earth.

When considering all these challenges, the Law of Space should feasibly be unknown to the Azure Lightning City. 

However, in the so-called golden era of this world, there were extreme geniuses who could make such an Artifact like this?

This was certainly a topic worthy of looking into. At least for Cain, it was. 

Amber merely found it a great novelty if they ever ran into trouble in the God Galaxies. Although, she heavily doubts it would come to that point considering Cain's massively powerful family. 

Still, it was the thought that warmed both Cain and Amber's hearts. 

Though, Joy's following words nearly made all of Amber's warmth drain away.

"Now then, don't go thinking this is too valuable. You two lives must be treated as precious, very precious! After all, I can't let anything happen to my future grandchildren. I might perish out of suffocating sadness from that!" A brilliant smile blazed Joy's face.

"Mo-mother! You-you…" A beautiful blush crossed Amber's cheeks, her head filling into hands in great exasperation. 

Seeing this, Amiel amusedly chuckled while Cain faintly smiled.

As of now, Cain didn't have any more pressing duties to fulfill before needing to go home. 

And with a joyous atmosphere quickly filling the room, he decided to spend the remaining time relaxing, getting close with Amber's parents. 

…

In Huang Dragon Imperial Palace's hidden chambers. Within this hidden chamber, one of the most important meetings was taking place.

The people here could single handle cause massive waves wherever they go on their Thunderous Collision Planet.

At one side of the meeting table was a golden pair of a man and woman. The man was practically cold as ice, emotionless expression, terrifying deathly aura, and a presence that can overwhelm any mortal. 

This was Ancient Dragon Emperor Huang Wulong. 

And next to him was an unfathomable beautiful woman whose majestic might could topple kingdoms and countries. 

That bright, beautiful smile was easily recognizable; this was the Ancient Dragon Empress, Shi Wei.

And across these two old monstrous existence were another pair of terrifying existences. 

These two were both far older-looking men, appearing to be near the 40s going off by their slight aging wrinkles and small battle scars.

These two were as frightening as Huang Wulong. They both breathed an incomparable arrogant might, exuding supreme confidence as if they could control the whole world. This was pride manifesting from their extreme Martial Arts.

Their natural momentum was no less than Shi Wei and Huang Wulong! 

These two the other Ancient Dragon Emperors, Huang Xilong and Huang Nailong.

And between these Ancient Dragons, a particular, inexplicable atmosphere settled between them.

Both Huang Xilong and Nailong naturally knew of Shi Wei's secret of covering Cain and Kali. In fact, they had some doubts ever since the children left on their journey.

With their tactic understanding of each other, they both were able to pick up on the slightest oddities of Shi Wei's behavior. Although, they didn't find it as a call to attention. Not until she suddenly came to them on her violation, telling them that their Palace will receive a massive surprise.

The surprise, of course, was that Cain and Kali could not cultivate and are unique Divine Talents, not losing out in the slightest to their older siblings. 

Naturally, since it was Shi Wei delivering the news, Huang Xilong and Nilong had no choice but to take her words as of now.

And since they thoughtfully regarded her, they began making accordance plans to Cain and Kali's returns. No matter their past history, Divine Martial Talent was still Divine Martial Talent. It isn't anything they could afford to ignore.

Just a day before Cain and Kali's return, Huang Xilong and Nilong decided to hold an impromptu meeting to thoroughly discuss any and all potential changes that Cain and Kali could provide.

"As we were previously discussing on our own, we absolutely cannot accept any other results but at least the 7th step. But only just that is barely qualified enough to pour a heavy amount of investment in them over Zilong or even Leilong. To be frank with you, the pressure of those two Holy Lands isn't decreasing; we can't afford to waste any second." Huang Xilong indifferently spoke.

"Indeed. Shi Wei, I understand you heavily dote on those two, but you can't let this cloud your judgment. You, of all people, should know when to set their priorities straight." Huang Zilong perfectly followed up.

Their tone seemed a bit detached, and their words were unfeeling, but it was completely understandable within their society. 

For the continuation of their bloodline, any and all means would be necessary to ensure survival.

Living as long as they all have, Xilong, Zilong, Shi Wei, and Wulong all perfectly understand this. It could be said they understood this most of out of their rivaling organizations.

But even so, Shi Wei's smile never falters. 

She calmly asked, "I am more than aware of our situation. However, is there a use to becoming increasingly agitated about it? At least, when looking at weaker Realms or those Heavenly Great Worlds, our situation isn't too bad. Even barring Cain and Kali's future influence, the disparity in our younger generations isn't that far behind them."

"Is that what you believe?" Huang Nilong knitted his brows. "Must I remind you that Ancient Phoenix's Liao Wu is said to be making great strides towards eightfall stage Divine Origin? And even if this wasn't true, he is still a sevenfall great genius. Furthermore, Moon Ocean Palace's Shi Lan is just a stage behind being a sixfall great genius. This kind of potential, if they can continue it, they may be able to touch upon Ninefall Divine Origin! If they can properly grow, the realms they could reach are incomparably dangerous."

Against these negative yet accurate views, Huang Wulong finally decided to speak up. His tone was slow and even, saying, "And need I remind you that Zilong is simply a stage behind Shi Lan? He may have been defeated once in the past, but losses aren't everything. Can you honestly say you won against every situation you either took part in or were forced into? A true loss is only when he stops cultivating altogether. Barring them, I say we should bring good faith into Cain and Kali. Doubts only create prejudice."

Huang Xilong and Nilong fell silent. Staying shrewd and cautious was just a part of their nature at this point in their lives. To have blind faith felt a bit foolish in their minds.

However, despite their thoughts, both Xilong and Nilong ended up sighing. 

"I suppose we can't necessarily argue against that. In any case, Senior Maolong has truly given his full approval for their return and will personally see their test. I only hope things will turn as optimistic as you hope." Huang Xilong quietly sighed. 

And at that moment, an increasingly charming light overflowed from Shi Wei's eyes, appearing as if she held the sun within her pupils. 

She confidently said, "Don't misunderstand as well. I also don't like to make any wasted moves. All that I do is for the prosperity of our family.. And soon, we will all see this fruition bear its fruits."
