The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 688 A Small Town

The day quickly passed.

Over a massively expansive, sandy region of the Starfall planet. The Dao lights exuding from this sandy region were on an equal level to the Starfall wasteland.

Most regions across the planet have the same standard of environment. It's only when one enters into special territories belonging to Holy Lands or other special organizations that the Dao Runes create a far superior environment.

Still, cultivating within here was superior to that of Atlas City of the Wintry World. Far superior cultivators and vicious Dao beasts are birth here.

At this time, two divine lights were streaking through the skies.

These divine lights were seemingly in their own space. A faint fore engulfs them. Practically making them invisible to all other Divine Senses detection.

Naturally, these two were Cain and Zexi. Neither of them particularly liked amassing noisy people because of fame.

Thus, their flight and soon arrival were low-key.

It was actually quite peaceful to travel in a comfortable silence like this.

Zexi was certainly savoring this moment. Though, it didn't take long for her to soon narrowed her gaze at a familiar sight.

Her mystical eyes pierced through space, landing on a more rural city compared to the usual flare of divine cultivators.

She eagerly pointed forward. "There it is, brother Cain! My small and humble homeland. And as I can bet, you can sense something different here, right?"

Cain had already scanned his Divine Sense over this small, rural town. His Spiritual Sea could certainly identify particularly intense Fire Law principles permeating the entire atmosphere.

Intense enough flames that can burn the protective Divine Aura of a Divine Star expert.

Cain curled his brows. Even divine cultivators are willing to live like this?

It wasn't as if harsh environments were uncommon to live in. But those are usually for areas with powerful Divine Rulers or possibly Holy King masters.

There wasn't much presence of decent Divine Rulers in this rural town, much less Holy King masters.

Still, Cain couldn't deny his interest was piqued. "Let's get a closer look."

Grabbing Zexi, Cain cut their flight short, taking an invisible step forward and appearing right in front of the town's entrance.

For a split-second, Cain considers concealing themselves. But Zexi was here for a nostalgic trip, thus he decided to bear with anything annoying that may come their way.

"Hehe~! Welcome to the Fire Shrine Town!" Zexi spread her hands wide for dramatic effect.

Though it would be considered a rural town by divine cultivators' standards, it was still quite a bustling place blessed by Dao lights.

There really wasn't anything Cain could really call poor or shabby. Seemingly everything was covered in a beautiful coat of divine orange crystals that exuded warming lights.

Not just the buildings. Even the cultivators strolling about exuding warm sensations. Their divine lights weren't of the dangerous style of feat, but of a comforting presence, like basking in the rays of the sun.

As Cain surveyed the Fire Shrine Town, he and Zexi took only a few steps within. And only a few steps were needed to alert nearly every single person in the surrounding area.

Eyes shot at them, widening from their imperial robes and faces.

"Ah-Ah! It's the Star Lord! And an Inner disciple of the Lightning Wind Holy Land!"

"Our town really is blessed! What else can it be besides a blessing?"

"Hahaha!! Our luck will continue strong! Just their appearance is already influencing our good luck."

Murmurs erupted as many gave gazes of complete admiration. Many wanted to go up to talk. But didn't dare to take that first step when considering both Cain and Zexi's statuses.

'Star-lord, huh?' Cain was vaguely amused by this title. It's pretty much accurate to call him since he isn't in the Divine Ruler realm yet.

Sending a voice transmission to Zexi, he asked, 'This reaction...they're quite enthusiastic, huh? Just what kind of luck are they possibly talking about?'

A bit of a sheepish smile curled Zexi's lips. She scratched her head while saying, 'It's an old legend left down by this town's ancestor. Where everyone believes cultivating here can alleviate their good luck. Apparently, everyone and even I had believed it was the working of Blessed Fortune grandmaster. Though, as I grow older, I've come to see Blessed Fortune grandmaster is nothing more than a fable among us. Something to tell young children...but it seems like some traditions are hard to break.'

Unlike others, Cain wasn't so quick to dismiss the Blessed Fortune grandmaster. Not a day goes past when he doesn't think about how gross his luck is.

Perhaps in this town, there may be some secret relating to luck laws.

'Haah~. Well, enough about that.' Zexi quickly shifts focus. She grabbed Cain's head and began showing him around. 'Come on. While the tales are a bunch of hogwash, the shrines are still enough to check out.'

There wasn't any disagreement with Cain, allowing himself to be pulled along by Zexi's whims.

Despite the growing excitement around them, the duo's walk through the town was quite calm. Their status was enough to deter any troublesome matter. Though it couldn't stop many from watching them.

Everything seemed perfectly normal. But when Zexi pulled Cain in front of a particular shop, two potent divine presences rippled.

Two Divine Ruler auras locked straight on them.

"Ah! Is that sister Zexi? It's been far too long! And you brought a very special guest over!"

One of their voices, a charming woman's, shouted over to them.

"Eh?" Zexi blinked in momentary surprise.

While Cain observed the approaching Divine Rulers. His eyes slightly narrowed on them compared to the others.

Their appearances weren't anything special. A case of a divine man and divine woman who emitted glorious divine lights.

No, what made Cain slightly more intrigued came from the sensations rippling from their souls.

It was the same warmth exuding from the other city's residents. But these two warmths were several, if not dozens of times more intense.

It wasn't as if their fire law principles were denser or more complex. But quite literally, they have a greater abundance of fire law principles within their souls.

This shouldn't really be a call for notice. If not for the fact that the other residents all had near identical warmth swirling in their souls. Even the half-step Divine Rulers were near the same as the Divine Star experts.

So what made these two special?

Cain was intrigued, but held his tongue for the moment.

While Zexi's face brighten as she watched her past friends approach. "Brother Kong! Sister Hua! It really is a treat! And I suppose there really is no need for introductions, right? Brother Cain's fame is far too impressive."

Kong and Hua lightly giggled while stopping close. They instantly bowed to Cain, simultaneously saying, "We greet the young Star Lord."

"Just call me brother Cain. And greeting to you two as well." Cain casually smiled. Never the one to really fuss over statuses, just as long as the respect was still there.

Zexi was quick to speak next, asking, "So? What have you all been up to? It seems nothing really changed around here."

"Oh, this?" Kong and Hua looked up with joyful smiles. They nudged their heads over to a mystical temple near the end of the city.

Hua eagerly said, "Shall we discuss more in there? It's basically where we live nowadays."

"The elders actually let you take over that place? That's impressive. Alright, let's go." Zexi nodded. She did briefly glance over at Cain, but he had only nodded, indicating it was fine.
