The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 242 - Mortal To Divine Path

"Not-not in any way inferior?! This...Supreme Ancestor just has to be right. But still, this such a massive claim!" 

The Huang Dragons all intently watched Cain's group now. 

Through the words of Shi Wei, they had no choice but to believe her. But, it was also challenging to believe at the same time. 

It must be known that each royal descendent are outstanding talents that haven't appeared for over hundreds of years! Their potential truly isn't anything to scoff at. 

For instance, in the far future, they have the possibility of raising their Imperial family to extreme heights, far surpassing the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands or any other Holy Lands for that matter.

At this moment, the expectations for Cain's group dramatically shot up. Moral and hope rose for these Huang Dragons. 

Could this possibly be a rise of their family? 

Nobody can say for sure, but they all were damn excited to find out!

"Grandmother…is what you say really true? Just how can they be on par with us?" Huang Xun was in complete disbelief. 

She may be the most pragmatic, calm, and rational of their siblings. But, this news was truly outrageous to her. 

She was immersed in Martial Cultivation for numerous years, diligently working hard to strain her Martial Talents to the very limit, hoping to eventually break past all of her boundaries.

Comparatively, Cain and Kali? 

These two have merely been cultivating for simply two months! 

Her engraved Draconinc Pride simply can't accept Cain and Kali being anywhere close to her level.

These sentiments were similarly shared by both Huang Dai and Rulong, the latter of the two casting heavy looks of disdain upon Cain's group. 

At this point, the trio believed Cain's group would fail hard, only able to achieve the most standard of results.

As all sounds of disbelief trailed into Shi Wei's ears, she didn't offer any counterarguments, only keeping her faint smile. 

Wordlessly, she waved her hands, flashing towards the very bottom of the Dragon Altar Steps. 

The moment she landed, Shi Wei turned over towards Cain's group and flashed them a more encouraging smile. 

Her eyes were filled with expectations and hope as she said, "Now then, you all can either go ahead at separate times or once all together. Remember what I told you about these steps, and don't try to push your luck, understood?" 

Towards the end of her sentence, the tone of a majestic empress washed over Cain's group.

Cain, Kali, and Amber dutifully nodded before their eyes wandered over the Dragon Altar Steps, awe rapidly filling them. 

Now that they can get a good look at the Dragon Altar Steps, the trio felt genuinely entranced.

Up close, the Dragon Altar steps seemed far more massive and imposing. Every Dragon Art carved into the steps seemed as if they were indeed made from the highest of Divine Energy.

Staring into the eyes of a Dragon Art felt as if they were facing off against a genuine Divine Dragon of the clouds. 

The steps of the Altar were also amazingly impressive. 

Cain made some comparisons in his mind and estimated that each step is as long as several buses combined together. Moreover, their width was also large enough to hold hundreds of people easily.

To make such an intricate structure could only be the works of Martial Cultivators and World Spirit Masters. 

Even without their eyes, the unfathomable aura this Dragon Altar steps naturally exudes would be enough to showcase its majestic presence.

"Good luck. I know you all will do well." As Cain's group was engrossed with the Dragon Altar steps, Shi Wei gave her last words. 

A moment later, she vanished in a faint purply flash, instantly reappearing back in the skies.

Gradually, an anticipating silence started to fall within the celestial mountain. 

The distance between everyone and the floating spring platform was at least hundreds of meters apart. But this type of distance was virtually nothing for these God Galaxies cultivators. 

Their natural eyesights enhanced by Martial Cultivation allow them to easily witness everything on the Dragon Altar Steps.

As silence slowly ensued, Cain was submerged in his thoughts, recalling everything he knew about the Dragon Altar steps. 

These steps had actually existed since the very start of their Imperial family.

The first Huang Dragon and his wife were extreme geniuses of their generation. They both managed to achieve feats not many could around their time were able to accomplish.

That is, having massively high attainments in Divine Spirit and Soul Laws! 

Their Spirit Laws had reached such a level that even World Spirit Masters from stronger God Realms viewed them as legitimate threats.

Just with this, their reputation turned incredibly infamous as their prowess was quite terrifying. 

As for their Soul Laws, that was even more impressive than their Spirit Laws.

Soul Laws are incomparably mysterious and massively challenging to properly cultivate. Not much, even to this day, is known about Soul Laws. 

Most Martial Cultivators of the God Galaxy realms only know how to utilize Soul energy, and that is possible to greatly increase the power of the Soul's Core.

The method to do so, however, is practically unknown. 

Attempting to cultivate Soul Laws seemed far more challenging than attempting dual Martial and Spiritual cultivation!

And back then, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the first Huang Dragon and his wife somehow managed to cultivate Soul Laws to an unfathomable degree. 

From their dual combination of Soul and Spirit Laws, they managed to painstakingly form the Dragon Altar Steps.

The Dragon Altar steps have 11 steps all Huang Dragons must traverse through. On each step, the essence within the Dragon Altar will analyze the Huang Dragon's latent power of their Souls, the pureness of their bloodline, the state of their Dantain space, and their cultivation aptitude on both energy and Law perception.

If that Huang Dragon managed to pass the restrictive essence of a Dragon Altar step, they would be able to continue on to the next, showcasing their Martial Talent and potential future growth.

Out of everything, Cain found the essence contained within the Dragon Altar step the most intriguing. 

It is said that the essence is actually essence from elementary forms of Dao Diagrams!

These elementary forms of Dao Diagrams are extraordinarily powerful and are known to have a very faint connection to the Heavenly Dao itself! 

Though the connection is slim, it was more than enough for any Huang Dragon to get accordingly judged.

It could be said that these Dragon Altar steps are a test from the Heavens itself, being the most closely accurate one can get when analyzing Martial Talent.

This is also why the most prime time for testing is the Profound Soul Realm, as that is the starting point where one's cultivation truly blossomed. 

The 1st to 3rd steps of the Dragon Altar indicate only a peak Mortal Tier talent.

Towards God Galaxies cultivator, this was merely common trash level as the 3rd step indicates one can only reach the peak of the Mortal Path. 

Starting from the Spirit Opening Realm to Nascent Formation, Profound Soul, Innate Lord, Sky Ruler, Sage Core, Sky Sage, and Sacred Sage, this would be that Huang Dragon's absolute limit.

Above the Mortal Path would be the Divine Path. 

Starting from the Divine Origin Realm to Great Divine Sea and then the Divine Star Realm, these are the most crucial building blocks of any God Galaxy's cultivator Divine Path. 

And at the same time, these realms indicate the average power level for most God Galaxies cultivators. 

For instance, the Dragon Altar steps ranked these realms as such. 

The 4th-6th steps indicate low to mid-Divine talent. This would be the average result that permeates most of the God Galaxies. 

For any Lower Realm, this kind of talent would make them supreme. Just a 4th step Divine talent represents the Divine Origin Realm. At this power, one can effectively rule nearly all of a Lower Realm planet and be crowned and Divine Supreme Elder.

But in any God Galaxies, this kind of talent would be sorted as the most average of average.

The 6th step indicates one has a great possibility of reaching the Divine Star Realm. 

From the 6th to the 9th step, this is the true separation of average genius and true genius.

Anyone who can reach the 8th step has a significant possibility of breaking through the Divine Star Realm, reaching the Divine Ruler Realm.

And those who reach the 9th step have virtually a 99% possibility of reaching the Divine Ruler Realm!

A Divine Ruler Master isn't anything typical or average. Out of the boundless lives inhabiting the God Galaxies, only 40% has just a chance of reaching the Divine Ruler Realm. 

It is a truly precious realm that allows anyone to rule over their own section in any God Realms and become an all-encompassing overload.

But even with this status, the lives inhabiting the God Galaxy are too vast. A number of trillion among trillion is but a mere drop of a vast ocean of lives. It is simply impossibly to count all lives in the God Galaxies.

Thus, the number of Divine Rulers is similarly vast! 

It is understandable as a single group of Divine Rulers can gather hundreds of millions of Martial Cultivators. And in these hundreds of millions, there would be the birth of tens of thousands of Divine Rulers!

Any Divine Ruler isn't someone one can so causally look down upon. 

However, above this realm comes the real monsters of the God Galaxies. 

The 10th step indicates that a Huang Dragon has the extreme possibility of shedding the Divine Ruler Realm, reaching the Holy King Realm!

The Holy King Realm represents one breakthrough into becoming a true prominent figure across the God Galaxy. A Holy King master's fame, prestige, strength all reach horrifying levels. 

It was a difference similar to a vast chasm separated by billions of miles! 

No Divine Ruler, even ones who reached their limit, is willing to offend a Holy King for any reason.

However, reaching the Holy King Realm is unimaginably difficult. Out of the vastness of God Galaxies, even a smaller portion has just a slight possibility of reaching the Holy King Realm.

Even Cain's Imperial family lacks a true Holy King master. 

For most God Galaxies cultivators, reaching the Holy King Realm is their end game. And on their journey to become one, their whole entire beings change into something truly Divine.

But at the same time, it simply can't be counted on how many lost their lives in an attempt to reach the Holy King Realm. 

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that a single Holy King completely transforms any ordinary miniature Divine Ruler Holy Land into a grand prosperous Divine nation!

As for the 11th step, Cain has absolutely no clue what realm it represents. 

Shi Wei explained to him that only one Holy King level of talent appeared within their history. But he was met with a mysterious death, failing to reach his true potential.

And despite their hundreds of thousands of years of history, there simply hasn't been a single Huang Dragon who reached the 11th step. 

For their current generation, Cain's eldest siblings are the only ones among the Royal descendants that managed to reach the 8th step.

While the Crown Prince reached the 9th step. 

The other Royal descendants only managed to reach the 7th step. And every other Huang Dragon ranges from the 4th to 6th step with only a minimal number touching the 6th step.

When considering this, a flame alights within Cain's chest. His eyes glinted as he thought, 'To become properly fostered, one of us definitely needs to breach the 9th step. My grandmother is basically my Dao protector. So, there's no problem with showing off now.. Time to make our first entrance to the Realm of Gods.'
