The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 221 - Shocking Room

Neither Huang Dai nor Xun delayed anymore. They swiftly traversed through their grand imperial halls, strolling down towards another secluded area of the palace. 

This area was at the far east side of the palace, considerably separated from the other direct Royal children chambers.

Despite being separated, the quality of this area wasn't low at all. As Huang Dai and Xun walked through the luxuriously designed hall that was filled with incomparably pure Divine Essence of the Heaven and Earth, the eldest siblings briefly felt a sense of longing envy.

Even now, they still couldn't wrap their hands that this kind of living chamber wasn't available to them 24/7. 

Instead, this living chamber was all for their younger and truthfully useless siblings, Cain and Kali.

Their younger siblings may have been diagnosed with zero cultivation aptitude, but it didn't stop their treatment from being absolutely perfect. 

Even this specific area World Source Law essence was of a Divine quality.

And admittedly, the World Source Law essence was far more crucial than the Divine Essence of Heaven and Earth. 

With the Divine quality of World Source Laws, perceiving any Law Forces becomes far smoother.

One's perception wouldn't need to be insanely high. The Divine quality of World Source Law would provide shortcuts to any and all Martial cultivators, allowing them to receive significant leaps in cultivation.

Any average Dragon youths would be able to speed up their cultivation by at least four times! 

Such thoughts made Huang Dai wearily sigh. "Haaah…just imagine it, Xun. If only we were given such top-tier treatment. I mean, don't we deserve it? Under the Crown Prince, our Martial Talent remains supreme even over our Eldest Brother."

Calm as she always is, Huang Xun honestly couldn't suppress the slight itch in her heart over hearing Dai's words. 

Naturally, as determined Martial cultivators, their most important goal is everything related to cultivation. There would be no other better gift than experiencing a rich cultivation environment. 

However, at the same time, Huang Xun didn't see everything as black and white. 

She managed to quell the sense of longing envy within her Martial Heart as she then said, "For sure, our cultivation would be able to make leaps and bounds from staying here. Perhaps we will have a higher boundary if we stay here for years. But…do you believe that our perception foundation, Law foundation, and bloodline foundation would be as high?"

"That's…" Huang Dai wanted to immediately answer yes. But his mind started to scramble as he put serious thought into it. "I mean, well, I suppose the added pressure of a lower environment aided in this way."

Realistically thinking about, sometimes the most luscious life may not be the most suitable. 

Pressure is what all Martial cultivators need within their lives in order to overcome inevitable hurdles and tribulations.

As existences that defied the Will of the Heaven, Martial cultivators couldn't escape the fate of perilous danger that could easily snuff their lives out. 

And if one doesn't have a firm Martial Heart and unwavering belief in themselves, they will be doomed to a life of eternal mediocrity.

The treatment between these Royal children may be wildly unbalanced, but it helped Huang Dai and Xun in more ways than they fully realized. 

For sure, Huang Dai knows he wouldn't have desperately pushed his all into cultivating, wanting his Royal grandmother's approval, if not for Cain and Kali.

At this thought, he could only begrudgingly admit that his two useless siblings did do some good for their Family. 

Huang Xun seemed to have the same glint swirling in her eyes as she came upon these thoughts.

She calmly said, "And besides, it's not like we won't be able to gain access to these great environments. I'm assured if we continue down our hardworking path, we can finally arouse Royal grandmother's attention to train us. If we can perform well in both the Heavenly Banquet and then the Phoenix exchange event, I'm sure it's a real possibility. And our first step to come closer to this goal is relating to those two disappearances."

As Huang Xun finished speaking, the two siblings unknowingly ended up in front of Cain's room. Here, both the Divine Essence of Heaven and Earth and the World Source Laws were of the purest quality.

Breathing just a fresh intake of air felt like breathing divine nature. It was a sensation that was nearly difficult to describe in simple words and left a great impression on both Huang Dai and Xun. 

Huang Dai and Xun didn't hesitate, opening the room right up and strolling inside. As they stepped in, the siblings swept their gaze over. 

At first glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. No suspicious items or even the slightest of objects moved out of place. It would be reasonable to think that there wasn't anything strange going around here. 

Still, Huang Xun kept her solemn expression.

With a wave of her hand, she flashed out the Aura Tracker crystal. Upon releasing the small crystal orb, it instantly flashed a brilliant green glow. 

The green lights spewing from the crystal orb weren't faint or weak at all. It was almost like they were already right near an incredible source of Draconic Aura! 

In this instance, Huang Xun and Dai traded curious looks. 

"You, you are suppressing your Aura completely, right?" Huang Xun furrowed her brows, her tone completely serious. 

"Mn, of course, I have it suppressed. I'm no fool. You have your completely suppressed as well, so…the hell could this possibly mean?"

Because of the oddity from the Aura Tracker crystal, Huang Dai was shuffling his eyes around the room again. He knew the oddity from the Aura Tracker crystal could possibly mean one critical thing. 

That is, there must be a strange item here that holds an overabundance of their specific pure Draconic Aura! 

The Aura Tracker crystal is specifically set to only perceive their bloodline variation of Draconic Aura.

This is why Huang Dai and Xun needed to put forth all of their efforts to suppress their Draconic Aura in its entirety. 

Doing so was a lot easier said than done. As this requires them to have near-perfect control over their bloodline powers. Even just the slightest leakage of control could allow a slight portion of their Draconic Aura to slip out, allowing it to disrupt the Aura Tracker crystal. 

But as a testament to Huang Dai and Xun's determination and worth ethics, the siblings were able to achieve a perfect state like this.

Before coming here, both siblings put forth days into perfecting this specific ability. An ability that seemed practically useless in nearly all situations was refined to the point of perfection.

All of it was their Will to surpass their rivals, breaking out the predestined lane supposedly laid out for them. 

Because they knew it wasn't them, Huang Dai and Xun instantly assumed a suspicious item of their Family was around here.

After all, it couldn't possibly be the remnants of Cain's life aura causing this. Zero cultivation aptitude also means he would have no way to ever awaken his bloodline powers to even just the threshold stage. 

With this possibility ruled out, the only other explanation could possibly relate to one of their mysterious Family heirloom or a Dragon Artifact relic. 

Huang Xun already had her thoughts laid out. When sweeping her Divine Sense into the Aura Tracker crystal, she expected for it to pinpoint her in a specific spot she must've missed before when exploring the room. 

However, an completely unexpected situation occurred.

Instead of a specific tile, corner, or any other hidden hiding spots, Huang Xun's Divine Sense pinpointed straight towards Cain's bed. 

"Hm?" 

Feeling puzzled, she focused all of her concentration on her Divine Sense. But no matter the degree of concentration she put forth, the target location never changed. 

Huang Xun furrowed her brows, a slight disbelieving light crossing her eyes as she slowly settled her gaze on Cain's bed.

'This…this can't be, right? The crystal pointed to no other point but just the top part of his bed, where he would precisely sleep. Naturally, his life Aura would be at the highest point there. So why…just why is the crystal pointing there?'

As if Huang Dai could sense Xun's puzzlement, he snapped his attention to her, increasing confusion shimmering within his eyes. 

He asked, "What? Just what is it? Did the crystal change somehow?"

Hearing Huang Dai's question, Huang Xun didn't promptly respond. She continually swept over her Divine Sense, expecting for this to be a fluke, or she was misreading the situation entirely. 

However, nothing changed no matter how much she rechecked her Divine Sense. All answers pointed to Cain's bed, indicating this was purely his life aura.

Rarely would Huang Xun's mood heavily shift. But this shocking piece of new set indescribable turbulent waves within her Martial Heart. 

Just how could her younger, zero aptitude cultivation brother ever set off the Aura Tracker Crystal-like this?

And why the hell is it so potent?! 

Questions upon questions made a mess of Huang Xun's mind. But in the end, she swiftly suppressed her rising emotions. On the outside, her mouth simply twitched.

She then spoke after only a moment of silence. "Here's the thing. This crystal isn't pointing at an object… it's directly honing into Cain's life aura. Right where he would sleep is where all of his remanent life aura gathered. And this crystal tells that it has an abundance of pure Draconic Aura."

"Wh-what?!?" 

Near instantaneously, Huang Dai violently reacted, his whole body nearly jumping up in overwhelming shock! His eyes rapidly blinked as he dug out his ears, thinking he misheard Huang Xun.

"You…just, how could this even be possible?? Cain is a certified Martial waste. In all honesty, it's only through some kind of miracle he has the slightest of Draconic Aura hidden within him. But even then, his weak life aura should've long disappeared from this room after so much time. If his life aura can still remain so strong and cause this kind of effect, then…what the hell does this mean?!"

The revelation of merely Cain having a decently strong life aura wasn't exaggerated in the slightest. 

Truthfully, having a strong life aura that can remain for a period of time wasn't much.

Both Huang Dai and Xun were well aware that their specific Dragon God bloodline allows them to have naturally vibrant vitality. For them to leave behind their life aura was a simple task that any Spirit Opening cultivator can achieve.

In fact, they were even far better at it than humans or other lower monster species. 

But all of this stemmed from the fact that they all could cultivate. To leave behind a strong life aura, whether they were human, monster, or Godbeast, it all requires some amount of cultivation. Or at the very least, some amount of cultivation aptitude. 

Without this, one would be a simple mortal, unable to leave any trace of aura behind them. 

As these thoughts flashed through both Huang Dai and Xun's minds, one bewildering conclusion simmered.

Could Cain actually cultivate? And not just cultivate, have a powerful Draconic Aura?! 

Neither siblings knew what to make of the situation. Yet they also couldn't suppress a burning curiosity.

They needed to find out more, or they will never be able to sleep contently.
