The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 263 - Resources Cave

In silent agreement, the siblings quickly head on over to the tavern. 

As they approached, they saw quite a number of groups banding together, each of them intensely engaged in private discussions.

Huang Dai and Xun didn't bother to listen in, simply heading straight into the tavern. 

Once inside the tavern, the siblings took a quick look over. 

The space inside has been expanded by Space Laws and Spirit energy, allowing it to be wide enough to fit hundreds of people.

The decor consisted of sparkling spiritual stones and Qi crystals, showcasing a standard set affair across many God Galaxies realms. 

What wasn't standard was the even higher volume of groups engaged in intent discussion.

Typical taverns like this wouldn't be so filled since Martial cultivators or World Spirit Masters has great work to attend to. 

The only exception would be if a special event was occurring in the general area.

As Huang Dai and Xun slowly strolled to the counter, they listened to the ones not bothering to use the sound transmission to speak. 

Their conversations vary but are also similar to one another.

"I hope the Lightning Beast Sect isn't trying to get all of our hopes up. Just imagine, what's inside that cave can massively enhance our entire lives!" 

"Naturally, the Lightning Beast Sect wouldn't be so foolish to spread falsehood. That would only invite everyone's anger. They may be the strongest Sect here, but they're quite devious."

"The devious parts worry me the most. They could be putting out half-truths and half-lies to entrap a big number of us. And if they only target the lone people, it would be almost impossible to do anything against them. Haaah…the disadvantages of being unrestrained from rules."

"In any case, we should still go. No matter the central area, the general area would have some great stuff." 

Withdrawing their senses, Huang Dai and Xun's faces flashed in ponderance for a split moment.

Lightning Beast Sect? 

Great treasures? 

Truly, some kind of ploy was happening around here. 

Neither Huang Dai nor Xun is particularly familiar with the Lightning Beast Sect. But it would be a lie to say their intrigue wasn't incredibly aroused. 

When approaching the counter, Huang Xun didn't hesitate to ignite her spatial ring, summoning a luminous orange crystal bead.

This was the currency of the higher realms; crystal sun beads. 

These beads have numerous uses for the Martial and Spiritual Path, so their worth was highly valued when trading.

Huang Xun's crystal sun bead was of mid-grade, a hefty sum but nothing that outrageous for a Divine Origin expert. If one puts in enough effort, a Divine Origin expert has several ways to make a sum like this. 

With the crystal sun bead in hand, Huang Xun extended it to the staff, asking, "Excuse us, but can you explain just what is the disturbance around here." 

"Ah. That I can." The staff, an ordinary middle-aged man with a peak Sacred Sovereign cultivation, politely smiled.

He took the crystal sun bead and explained, "Ah, so you truly don't know? Just recently, the Lightning Beast Sect has made a profound discovery. Deep within this mountain, covered by layers of concealment Spirit formations, is a low heavenly grade resources cave! Though the Lightning Beast Sect wanted to covet this cave, it wasn't long until its medicine aura leaked out to the outside world. Once catching wind about it, many lone cultivators and smaller-scale forces want a piece of this cave."

Just like with quasi or complete mystic realms, there are also other special areas that are divided into graded degrees. 

These special areas greatly vary on what they offer and the danger inside.

Most special areas are resources caves, just like this one the Lightning Beast Sect luckily discovered. 

When areas like these are discovered, it was no question of finding fantastic treasures inside. Even a low heavenly grade means incredible treasures useful for even Divine Star experts! 

No, the actual questions would be who are the ones in central control of the resources cave?

Quasi or completed mystic realms operated on separate rules. They have direct ties to the Heavenly Dao itself, leading to each realm containing unique, powerful abilities.

These realms are all out of the possibilities of control for God Galaxies inhabits. Even higher or Heavenly Great Worlds dared not to forcefully intrude in either a quasi or mystic realm.

Thus, nearly all of the time, God Galaxies inhabits simply had to wait until these realms open up on their own. 

As for special areas such as the resources cave, there is no such restriction.

Resources caves specifically were formed after an incredibly long time of accumulation from Divine nature. As a result, the Divine Essence of Heaven and Earth naturally evolves within these caves, leading to incredible treasures being birthed. 

And because there were no special restrictions, Holy Lands, Holy Martial Families, basically all with desires, will struggle to gain central control of the resources cave. 

If one of the Holy Land can gain central control of the resources cave, the benefits they could obtain would be overwhelming! Those in the general areas wouldn't be able to compare.

As Huang Xun and Dai both knew all of this, their minds focused on this Lightning Beast Sect. 

Huang Dai's eyes flashed as he asked, "Since the Lighting Beast Sect did uncover it, I'm assuming they have the means to gain central control of it?"

"Mn, other smaller forces did attempt to central control rights, but the Lightning Beast Sect was simply too powerful. In our desolate mountain range, they might be the strongest here. As of recently, they have been far more vocal than the Iron Eagle Sect here. For you two, if you join a group, you would be able to gain decent gain in the general area." The staff explained.

"If I may ask, do you know what the Divine Star experts are attempting to retrieve from the central area? It appears they are even willing to share a bit with the general masses." Huang Xun curiously asked.

The staff's eyes light up at this. His expression carried slight greed as his tone sounded a bit longing. 

"This, even when thinking about it now, I can't help but feel envious. That Lightning Beast Sect actually managed to cover up Crystal Ginsengs that are 1,000 years of age! Moreover, there are also 500 years old resources all around the central area."

Huang Dai and Xun's eyebrows shot up, their faces lightning in silent shock.

  A 1,000-year-old Crystal Ginseng! 

One alone is enough for even their Imperial Family to pay considerable attention to it.

With this, anyone below the Divine Ruler Realm would be able to rapidly develop their Inner World through abortion. 

But not only does it speed up cultivation accumulation, but the Crystal Ginseng nature essence would also directly strengthen the Inner World's foundation, directly enhancing both one's combat potential and future prospects!

One would also needn't need to worry about a weaker Spiritual Sea as the Crystal Ginseng nature essence also provides enhancement nourishment to the consciousness. 

Even one's perception abilities will receive great benefits; the value of this Crystal Ginseng was incredible. 

Reaching the Divine Ruler, even with confirmed high Martial Talent, is still an exceedingly difficult task. 

Any treasures that can provide small shortcuts would always be a welcome wonder for Martial cultivators. 

But, where there are benefits, there would always be great danger.

Such as when the staff's longing expression suddenly stopped. 

Huang Dai and Xun instantly caught on to this but waited for his words. 

The staff's face gradually twisted as he recalled the horrifying parts of the news. 

He continued to say, "But though I was one admiring their luck, I can't help but feel their luck is also terrible. The central area is being guarded by a Divine Wing Tiger! Its cultivation is already at Divine Star Late Stage. And with its special racial abilities, it is giving the Lightning Beast Sect an unending amount of trouble."

Though they were expecting something like this, Hunag Dai and Xun couldn't suppress a slight shiver from crawling through them. 

If the cave has a beast like that, then just what else could it have?

Even in the general area, there could be dangerous Spirit Beast at threatening levels for lower-level cultivators. 

Pushing worrisome thoughts off her mind, Huang Xun continues to inquire, "How are they having this amount of trouble with the Divine Wing tiger? The Lightning Beast Sect is one of the few that follows the enslavement Law path, right?"

"Right they are. But this Divine Wing Tiger has an exceedingly powerful Spiritual Sea. Attempting to control it was providing them with more danger. Now, they are trying to wear the beast down before fully striking it." The Staff shook his head, having little hope in his tone.

"I see. Then, we will pay for a map before taking our leave." Huang Xun was already taking out a low-grade sun crystal bead as she spoke. 

After only a few short moments, the siblings purchase a jade scroll that contains the whole map of the desolate mountain range.

Leaving the tavern, Huang Dai and Xun rapidly flew away, reaching a secluded area in the skies. 

Once alone, both Dai and Xun expanded their Spirit Sense, making sure nobody followed.

Once confirming it was safe, Hunag Xun held the jade scroll high, lightly caressing it as she said, "Do you still believe we should go? At first, I believed it was some kind of happening limiting to only weak Great Divine Sea warriors. But now, there are the Lightning Beast Sect and that Divine Wing Tiger. The danger has increased by a few degrees."

Silence fell between the siblings, both stewing on their own thoughts. 

Huang Dai was seriously considering the dangers. But when thinking about the benefits, he felt a rise of courage spring from his soul.

Huang Dai calmly said, "This…even if we can't go to the central area, it would still be great for us to go. I mean, we can't just let this opportunity slip by after gathering this much information about it, right? Besides, compared to being alone on a journey, we still have our items backings. If it really gets too dangerous, we'll be several steps ahead and immediately activate the escaping talisman. No matter the Divine Star experts or the Divine Wing Tiger, nothing can stop us once we use those talismans."

Huang Xun's mind shook for a moment, seriously regarding Dai's words.

Heading straight into a dangerous but successful opportunity. Surely, this is what their unfathomable grandmother was referring to, right?
