The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 482 Palace Library

Cain really had to count his luck that he has Holy Land knowledge resources so readily available to him.

Relying on lucky chances and powerful martial resources would only get him and Amber so far. At some point, they would need to refine their knowledge to prove upon their fundamentals.

Not just the duo, but many other talented cultivators, even Holy King masters and Primal Sovereign grandmasters, needed to go through with this process.

Compared to legends of geniuses with extremely high combat prowess, there are not so many who have extremely quick cultivation speed.

Even if one wanted to use external resources to artificially boost their cultivation, it could only go so far. Many cultivators stay stuck in the Great Divine Sea realm because of this case. Only select few, if they're extremely lucky, can reach the Divine Star realm. Although, that cultivator would never be able to advance in his life again.

As for the Divine Ruler realm, it's all but impossible to reach that realm through external aid.

From what Cain can gather, Cloudsea Holy Land greatly discourages using external means to forcefully increase their cultivation. People like that are considered complete waste.

The only time it would be acceptable is if, and only if, the Holy Land was in the middle of a drastic war.

But seeing as a war hasn't occurred for over tens of thousands of years, Cloudsea Holy Land was able to put their full effort into churning out the best disciples they can.

Cain was honestly curious about how deep a high-tier Holy Land foundation goes. But that would be a topic for another time.

For now, Cain wordlessly nodded to Amber, and then, with just a thought, he recalled the same map and route out where to go.

Afterward, the duo promptly flew out of the 6th floor, not stopping until they entered the temple.

Many gazes of curiosity landed on them during their leave.

Of course, nobody questioned why the duo was able to get to the top floor. But many were curious about just the kind of Dao Core Fragment they chose.

Even the top-ranking Inner disciples still have no idea what the 6thfloor Dao Core Fragments were like. Even the Core disciples were clueless.

The highest a Core disciple had ever achieved was the 5th floor. But that had occurred several hundred years ago. Nowadays, the requirement to get into the 5th floor was far too rigorous.

Only the Supreme direct disciples have a clear shot of entering the 5th floor. Although fascinating enough, there have been only rumors about whether or not the Supreme direct disciples can enter the 6th floor.

The only recent ones who did manage to enter the 6th floor were two youths who had only joined a day ago.

But as Cain and Amber already left, such a topic would remain shrouded in mystery.

On the outside, Cain briefly paused as he scanned his surrounding. His gaze pointed towards a splendid palace not too far off in the distance.

When the duo focused on the palace, even a couple of miles away, an aura that was equally refreshing and enlightening faintly touched their Spiritual Sea.

The palace's rich knowledge could be felt from a long distance. One didn't even need to step in to experience the wonders of gaining new knowledge. Merely experiencing its aura or studying the runes carved along the pavilion would produce wonderful effects for lower-level cultivators.

Cain's and Amber's interests were already piqued. They quickly flew over to the palace and felt its wonderful aura rapidly intensify. It increased to a point where the duo felt a small tickle in their Spiritual Sea.

This tickle would be able to cause severe headaches to Great Divine Sea warriors and even Divine Star experts in Spiritual Seas.

Their minds would feel like it was getting slowly torn open, forcing them to stop and comprehend the pressure before proceeding. Once the pressure was under control, their soul energy could negate the headache effect and allow them to enter the pavilion.

Cain nodded with genuine praise. 'Compared to the temple, you actually need to be slightly above decent to just enter the library. Though at the same time, those cultivators' Spiritual Sea would see considerable improvements.'

It was such a sight to see and experience the inner workings of a Holy Land. Every step of the corner, there was some kind of test waiting to push these Holy disciples to their limits.

All praise that Cain told came right from his soul. If he had to choose a place to cultivate for a long while, Holy Land on this level would be his first option.

'How amazing. It's an equal blend of being unnecessary but also genuinely helpful. Really, expected nothing less honestly.' Amber's tone leaned more indifferent.

She was honestly becoming more numb to grand and impressive means. Though, there was a drive to explore more knowledge of Spirit energy if they have it here.

The duo didn't stop as they entered the palace library's entrance. Cain's rainbow color cloud badge ignited, allowing them direct access.

The sensation of space instantly shifted. A wave of formless energy washed over the duo.

Blinking their eyes, Cain and Amber saw that they were in an incredibly stocked library.

The book here exuded a certain ethereal feeling. It was as if just opening one would broaden anyone's mind to a whole new world.

This feeling was greatly amplified by the sheer magnitude of the interior size. With rows and shelves running along for thousands of meters, Cain wonders if even an ancient grandmaster could read through these books.

Compared to the Dao Temple, there was a good chunk of people here, disciples and the occasional Elder, but still not too many to where some aisles were completely empty.

Cain and Amber's arrival inevitably causes heads to turn. But once again, their status and own personal strength acted as a great deterrent to any unwanted distractions.

Cain scanned the aisles and quickly found one tilted, 'Unique Source Law Paths.'

Amber did some searching on her own and was delighted to find the 'Spirit Master Path' aisle.

With just a look between each other, the duo silently communicated before flying off toward their respective interest.

The aisle of each section was incredibly spacious and quite long in its width. Many books and scrolls were lined up on the shelves, and there wasn't enough room to accommodate dozens of people at the same time.

Though, as Cain came to this section, nobody else was currently in it. A quieter atmosphere was better for focus, in any case.

With Cain's comprehension abilities, it didn't take him long to sort through the wide range of texts. He soon came upon one scroll that appeared distinctly older than the rest.

It didn't look worn down from repeated uses, but rather that it came from extremely old age.

This was particularly odd when considering that most of these other books at least existed for hundreds, if not thousands, of years already. But no other scroll appeared distinctly old or decrepit.

The description of the scroll states, 'Various Daos At Once.'

Picking up the scroll, Cain narrowed his eyes at a strange-looking rune covering its front.

This rune was marked with a strange pattern he couldn't understand at all. Even compared to the past runes he saw, this one looked the most alien of them all.

A guess emerged in Cain's mind. When attempting to open the scroll, it went as Cain as expected. He wasn't able to budge it even with his immense physical strength.

That strange rune simultaneously began to faintly glow, shimmering with lights imbued with mysterious energy principles.

'This scroll...it already is quite impressive.'

Cain had to treat this scroll with some degree of focus. Without sufficient Spiritual Sea perception, his soul energy would never be able to open the scrolls.

With a thought, his soul energy slowly streamed into the scroll's mysterious rune.

In just a few moments, an intense wave sensation assaulted Cain's Spiritual Sea.

The sensations ranged from general Source Laws, the essence of the Heaven and Earth, and other sources that Cain's current perception abilities were unable to identify.

Cain stayed calm and composed as he slowly comprehended the general Source Law sensations. During this time, his eyes brilliantly lit up.

He can already guess that other scrolls and books here have some sort of rune marking carved on their fronts. Through this, any cultivator would first need to have the required Spiritual Sea perception ability to even understand the text.

The text itself would ripple with sensations that not only become recorded in the Spiritual Sea but also develop a connection to the soul for that a cultivator would never forget it.

For cultivators with lower comprehension abilities, these texts hold immense value. If one has enough patience to resist the initial wave of pressure, their Spiritual Sea's perception abilities would gradually increase to meet the requirements of the text.

Of course, increasing one's perception was easier said than done. Cain himself knows he was a freakish case on this front.

Typically, the average genius would need months before even finding a slight increase in their perception abilities. This was due to a mix of low talent and not enough resources.

Low talent would mean their rate of improvement will be inevitably slower. While the lack of appropriate resources for the Spiritual Sea can slow its development.

If Cain didn't have the Spiritual Sea cores from those ancient Primal Sovereign experts, his attainment level would still be stuck at the expert level.

His martial talent is already insanely high. But due to that Spiritual Sea core, he shaved off months, possibly years of time.

His advanced Spiritual Sea's abilities had, of course, helped with achieving record time with opening a Martial text.
