"Jou-journey….ah right. I swear it's like your mind is moving a million per second now….
" Kali lightly grumbled while shaking her head.
nShe quickly calmed herself after experiencing Cain's little tease, having no other choice but to accept her brother's newfound talent.
nAdopting a more serious expression, Kali began to say,
"As for our journey, I know it might seem a little difficult to accept. After all, we are in a tremendously powerful place and have protected lofty status here. But, none of this will truly help us properly grow. To be cultivating experts and finally gain genuine respect from our whole family, we need authentic life experiences. Which means going far away from our powerful family.
"
nCain listened intently to Kali's spiel. He only took a second to ponder over it before almost immediately agreeing with her sentiment.
nSneakily leaving from home would genuinely be the freest option he and his sister could make.
nStaying inside, Cain was assured that everyone in the Main Palace would give him and Kali the utmost attention if they showed that they could now perfectly cultivate. If that were to happen, Cain had no doubt they would strictly lock down into some tight training regiment.
nFurthermore, they both could potentially be drawn into complicated Royal politics. With their Dragon God bloodline and the Dragon Charm, Cain knows his and Kali's cultivation could soar by simply staying home.
nAnd if they were to have too much power and talents, Cain could predict a spiderweb of complex schemes befalling them.
nThe possibility of all of this is just being overly cautious did cross Cain's mind.
nHowever, Cain would never forget the stories he read on Earth. Being naive and overly optimistic will lead to a quick end in this merciless universe.
nLooking past the more grave aspect of going out to experience a cultivation journey, Cain also felt genuine excitement.
nAfter all, this is what he wanted. To live out life utterly free of any shackles, eventually becoming an expert that nobody can chain down. With all this mind, a blooming smile formed on Cain's face as he said,
n
"Ah, I completely see where you're coming from, Kali. Staying at home will certainly let our cultivation quickly soar. But we do need true life experience danger to truly temper ourselves. And above all, just like me, you don't trust our Eldest Siblings, right?
"
n
"Exactly that too! If we show we can cultivate, those two may step it up and become even more vicious. Plus, our Dragon Charm would make way too much noise. And in general, there's quite a lot of poisonous snakes in our Royal Family.
" Kali promptly agreed with Cain.
nMore than him, she was even more aware of how poisonous and merciless their Royal Family can get. To become a powerful group within these God Galaxies, it's par for the course that dubious means would be used.
n
"Mnh, so with all that in mind, what, or rather, where do you have in mind for us. I can already assume it won't be anywhere here in this galaxy since we need proper combat experiences.
" Cain inquired further.
n
"Even though we will be traveling far from home, it doesn't mean we won't come properly prepared. As for where we will go, like you said, anywhere in the God Galaxy will be too strong, and even the Divine Plane would be too much for us. This is why we will go to a Mortal Planet.
"
n'The lower realms, huh….' Cain felt his curiosity greatly aroused at the prospect of adventuring within a Mortal Planet.
nHe wasn't upset at all at having to start a far lower bar than his Godly dragon siblings. It wasn't like he was getting banished from his Royal Family, and he could come adequately equipped to take on any challenge that a Mortal Planet has for them.
nIndeed this would be a free training ground for him and his sister.
nThinking of a Mortal Planet this way, Cain could see he's equating all the lives there like it's his own tool. But none of these thoughts bothered Cain in the slightest.
nAfter all, he's the grandson of a powerful Dragon God!
nWhat would be the point of applying his previous Mortal Earth standards to his life now?
nMoreover, Cain already had distorted common sense before coming to this universe, causing him to so easily fall in line with this cruel strength-based society.
nNow all that's left to ponder about was the kind of Mortal Planet they should go to. As more often than not, these Mortal Planets can be even more special than places in God Realms.
nNodding his head in agreement after quickly thinking it over, Cain had then asked,
"Is there a specific Mortal Planet we already planned out? For a powerful family like us, it should be more than simple to gain the details on them.
"
n
"You got that right. The mortal planet we were planning out is a three-star ranked planet. This planet's strength is among one of the highest in the Lower Realms. Hell, there have even been cases where divinely talented geniuses ascended from there and made huge names for themselves in various God Galaxies. This is a perfect sharpening place since this planet also holds countless divine treasures and mysteries that would get even Divine Realm tier cultivators' attention. And once we're done there, we have a ticket to come straight back home.
"
nKali swiftly explained with an unwavering tone.
nJust like Cain, she wasn't put off by the thought of using the lives in a Mortal Planet as their mere training ground.
nEven more than Cain, Kali had a natural inborn pride from being the granddaughter of a Dragon god.
nFor too long, she was forced to suppress her pride because of her low cultivation aptitude. Compared to her siblings, she really had nothing to show on why she should act pridefully.
nBut now, once her brother masters this chaos energy, she could finally unleash all of her slumbering Dragon Pride!
nBy soaring to the top of a Mortal Planet with only her brother, Kali would prove to herself she's indeed worthy of being a true Emperor's Royal descendant.
n
"Alright. That all sounds perfect. Now then….oh wait. One more thing.
" A thought had suddenly streaked into Cain's mind.
nSince he will be fixing their cultivation, Cain realized he'll need to see if this ancient book has some method to conceal their cultivation.
nJust in case anything were to go wrong, Cain would find it safer to fix their cultivation within their own homes than smack dab right in the middle of a Mortal Planet.
nThe process of fixing their cultivation could potentially take some time, and during that time, they could very well get attacked if he decided to do it on a Mortal Planet.
nBefore explaining his thought process to Kali, Cain quickly searched through the ancient book.
nHe didn't need to take long as on the second page, it explained an ability named 'Chaotic Concealment' he can perform at 5% mastery. The book foretells that with this ability, nobody would be able to see through their cultivation level.
nUpon quickly finding what they needed, Cain tossed his eyes up from the book and told Kali,
"I think it would be better if we fix our cultivation in my room. One of the other abilities I can use at 5% mastery is Chaotic Concealment which will hide our cultivation level from anyone. This method would be safer than potentially getting randomly attacked on that planet.
"
nKali briefly thought it over before nodding with a bright smile.
n
"That would be perfect. This ability would also just be good for us in the future. Alright, let's get back to it since I know you want to. Do you need another pill?
"
nCain promptly nodded and said,
"Yes, hopefully, you stockpile on those pills. Since we don't have anything else to do, I'm going to keep practicing the whole night.
"
nA slight weary smile crossed Kali's lips towards Cain's fervent determination. He's not even a genuine cultivator yet, but he already has the vehement mindset about training all of the time.
nStill, since this was the betterment of both of their futures, Kali was going to stick with him the whole night.
n….
nWithin another room of the Huang Royal Family Main Imperial Palace, two beautiful youths that would garner the utmost respect among the entire Thunderous Collision Realm were meeting with each other.
nThis room was of a similar design to Cain's bedroom, though this one had a slightly more luxurious touch about it.
nIn this room, one of the beautiful youths was the young Dragon genius, Huang Lei.
nHe stood at a respectful distance away from a beautiful young woman sitting at a fancy-looking desk. She was inspecting a unique-looking black sword upon the deck. Her expression was indifferent as she took in every minute detail on this unique black sword.
nThis beautiful young woman was simply breathtaking in looks, charm, and aura. She radiated a pure divine elegance that would be difficult to spot within any other God Galaxy woman.
nHer face, down to her slim black eyebrows, cutely small nose, and rosy red lips, all exuded a fairy-like grace that would be impossible to ignore. Flowing out of the top of her head like a golden sun was a gorgeous stream of bright golden hair that hangs down to just past her shoulders.
nDonning her body was a gorgeous set of golden dragon robes that perfectly hugged her near-perfect hourglass figure.
nThis beautiful young woman is one of the main pride and eldest Princess of the entire Huang Royal Family, Huang Xun!
nFor anyone in her generation, they would naturally feel a bout of nerves and suffocation in the presence of such a lofty young woman. Just her natural aura alone would cause any other youth to undergo a tremendous sense of suppression.
nAnd Huang Lei was no exception. Even though he's similarly a genius in their generation, he felt immensely inferior to Huang Xun.
nIn his utmost respectful tone, Huang Lei began to say,
"Royal Sister. It seems like the potion you made was ineffective for Cain. He and Kali seem exactly the same from three days ago.
"
nHuang Xun didn't immediately respond. She didn't even take her eyes off the sword on her desk.
nAfter only a moment of silence, she spoke in a clear yet indifferent tone.
"I see….Lei. You did come to me first before Dai, right?
"
n
"Of course, Royal Sister. Excuse me for asking, but are you not worried about either Kali or Cain bringing this attempt up to the Royal Grandfather?
"
nThis time, Huang Xun completely stopped what she was doing. Her indifferent expression morphed into slight ponderance, all for a brief moment.
nBlinking her eyes only once, she had then said,
"If they were going to bring it up, they would have done it after they met with the Thunderous Sword Sect genius. Kali was always the more hasty one. But since no noise has come up yet, I'm assuming something must have changed in Cain. If not, then that little girl must be up to something else.
"
nFurrowing his eyebrows, Huang Lei didn't bother in trying to understand his unfathomable Royal Sister thought process and simply asked,
"So what will be our next move? It truly seems like nothing can keep them down.
"
n
"Tell Dai to meet me in a few days and to not bother with either Cain or Kali. That drink is far more complex than you can ever realize, Lei. And Dai would be willing to leave his close door cultivation for this.
"
nHuang Xun ordered without missing a beat. A slight glint swirled within her eyes as she analyzed their situation. Her natural instincts were telling her something was slightly mysterious here; she knows her drink should not have so utterly failed.
nAs Huang Xun fell into deep contemplation, Huang Lei swiftly left the room, not even daring to ask the contents of her thoughts.
nAlthough he too couldn't help but wonder just what did his unfathomable Royal Sister put into that drink?
n
