The Chaos Dragon Prince

On the surface, it appears as if both parties were making a single exchange. 

But the values of the exchange were entirely off balance! 

In the end, a Heavenly Rank resource is undoubtedly challenging to find but not completely impossible. Moreover, these resources are a long-term investment than a short one. 

On the other hand, a Divine Star expert makes a crucial part of the Ancient Phoenixs' military strength! Departing with just even one is a monumental loss.

Qiao Tu was incredibly unwilling, but she was also sighing within her Martial Heart. 

After all, what other choice does she have but to agree? 

If she turns into an idiot, she might as well be dead. And if dead, her Holy Land will be heavily impacted. 

Bounded by her Sect, Qiao Tu had no choice but to endure. The taste of humiliation was sickening. It almost gave Qiao Tu the urge to hurl.

Although, she couldn't tell if it was completely from the humiliation or the fact that she was losing a copious amount of blood from her shattered legs. 

'Thankfully, I have high vitality. Still, even if I want to find loopholes, I will just automatically die or become injured. Haaah… let's just get this over with. One day…one day. I just need to endure.'

Qiao Tu took one final long sigh before willingly accepting the Soul Alliance. Her soul energy pulled the Soul Alliance into her Soul's Core, perfectly fusing with it within seconds. 

Afterward, purple soul Dao Marks was permanently engraved into her Soul's Core. 

Shi Wei brightly smiled, sensing the Soul Alliance was successfully formed. 

She then told Cain, "Alright. You can heal her." 

A mental command was sent from Cain and into the Dao Crystal Staff. 

Heavenly energy instantly engulfed Qiao Tu's legs. It drilled into her muscle, flesh, tendon, and bones.

Seconds later, the horrifying sight of her broken legs was instantly healed. 

Qiao Tu was surprisingly calm as she felt all pain disappear and feeling returned to her leg.

While not showing outward reactions, Qiao Tu was in admiration of the potent effect of Heavenly energy. 

At this time, Shi Wei took out the Divine Fiery Rose and tossed it over to Qiao Tu.

Qiao Tu caught the Divine Fiery Rose while standing up. She tried to suppress it, but her eyes couldn't help but flicker with complex emotions when staring from Shi Wei to Cain.

That look from an almighty Holy Land master subconsciously fueled Cain's pride. He even spoke with a slightly superior tone, waving the Dao Crystal Staff while saying, "We will see you around." 

Before Qiao Tu could react, a black space portal formed behind her and quickly sucked her in. 

Her aura promptly disappeared from the Nightmare realm. 

Cain lightly sighed, mumbling, "That whole moment almost felt surreal. Commanding both a Heavenly Venerate and a Divine Ruler…" 

"Right? Cain, that was truly spectacular!" Amber's melodic voice sounded out as she and Kali walked over towards Cain.

They were in black portals not too far away, but Qiao Tu, of course, couldn't sense them. 

The girls were able to witness the entire exchange with turbulent emotions. 

Amber beamed at Cain, muttering praise non-stop. Her and Cain's sense of elation and pride were practically equal with each other. 

Even Kali had to give it up when saying, "At least you showcased the domineering side of us Huang Dragons. If only we could truly take all from those Phoenixes. Still, it was amazing to see that grand Holy Land master brought to her knees."

Shi Wei quickly took reign of the conversation, asking, "After this little Cain, just how long do you have here?" 

In that instance, Cain received a prompt reply from Nightmare Lord.

He replied, "From estimation, we have about a month left here. Afterward, we will have to wait several months before I secretly take anyone here. So just how should we utilize this realm, grandmother?"

Shi Wei stayed silent for a moment, genuinely considering all of their options. Her gaze could easily see that Cain, Kali, and Amber all had selfish intentions about the Nightmare realm.

They tried their best to conceal it, but their subtle bodily reactions and auras gave it away for a great master like Shi Wei. 

Naturally, Shi Wei didn't blame the trio for their greed. She could clearly understand such temptations, and she is also incredibly biased towards the trio. 

Her doting love would always put Cain, Kali, and by extension Amber at her highest priority.

But at the same time, she, of course, couldn't ignore the state of her Imperial Family. 

Towards all of this, Shi Wei even had to expend her soul reserves, sending soul energy into her Spiritual Sea to rapidly formulate complex thoughts.

Moments later, a clear glint sparkled like a ray of sunshine within Shi Wei's beautiful purple pupils. 

She said, "Out of the family, the only one who knows is leading Ancestor Maolong. He made a vague prediction about this long ago, and we discussed a few causal methods. Since everything became a reality, everything here will be used to massively boost our Imperial Family. However, this will be a slow process that will take the utmost coordination between Ancestor Maolong and me. As of now, the outside only believes that the miasma mist is a Heavenly Venerate method. It's strange but nothing too eye-catching. We need to keep it this way for a long while. If any connection is made between us and the realm, I'm afraid it won't just attract attention from the Radiance Luster World. But also from Heavenly Great Worlds."

At her words, Cain, Kali, and Amber shook. A bucket of freezing water practically drowned their bodies. 

Indeed, this realm can be as much as a fortune and a disaster!

Kali couldn't help but ask, "Can news travel that first? And for that matter, how will they even be able to make a relevant connection between us?" 

"Don't underestimate World Spirit Masters' information gathering and Heavenly Great World methods. They both have Wisdom experts on their sides in case extreme situations do occur. But as long we plan perfectly, this Nightmare realm will fundamentally transform all of us out of our mere mid-tier status."

Shi Wei paused for a moment, coming to a rapid conclusion, and continued to say, "For now, Cain, Kali, Amber, you three will improve as much as possible until the time limit is done. I will assist, and hopefully, you three can reach the Sky Sage realm in a month."

"Understood." Cain, Kali, and Amber dutifully nodded. 

Now that they were aware of the whole situation, a lot of their eagerness was suppressed. The threat of danger isn't incredibly high but was enough that even Shi Wei needed to treat it seriously.

As for reaching the peak of the Mortal Realm, the trio calmly took in the news as if it was the most natural thing on earth. 

Amber never had a great interest in Martial cultivation in the first place. Reaching the peak of the Mortal realm is just another step for her to advance on her Spiritual Path and walk shoulder to shoulder with Cain. 

Kali was mainly wondering just how much her prowess would grow by then and if it would be enough to achieve history.

While Cain was ready to treat each quick step of cultivation one at a time. From Shi Wei's lesson, he's aware of the importance of each Mortal realm level of cultivation. 

And the next and most crucial step is the Sage Core realm! 

Cain's Martial Heart burned with anticipation, his lips slightly curled up.

....

Ancient Phoenix Holy Land, the highest grand hall. 

Only one person was in the hall at this time, a handsome middle-aged man with refined elegance. 

He was the current Supreme Phoenix Elder, Elder Ming.

Not long ago, he was hastily summoned here by Qiao Tu, claiming that the deal had finished. Burning with curiosity, Elder Ming patiently waited until Qiao Tu's arrival. 

Although, he didn't have to wait long.

Red color space distortions suddenly twisted the air apart. Moments later, space ripped open, and Qiao Tu walked out of the black Void. 

Upon her arrival, she glanced at Elder Ming, promptly informing him, "The deal was a success. We have the Fiery Divine Rose. And from this day onward, we will drop all matters with the seventh prince." 

"Eh-eh?" Elder Ming was significantly taken aback.

Just like that, all matters are accounted for? 

Certainly, Elder Ming was more than aware that it is wise to take steps back when dealing with rivaling forces. It was how they were able to gain a genuine Heavenly Rank resource.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but think it was a little bit too open-minded. 

A lack of a proper explanation can potentially cause unrest in the rest of the high Elders. And their negative feelings can potentially cause problems when wanting to have a tight hold over them. 

Furthermore, the competition between the younger generation has a high possibility of becoming chaotic.

If the young prince can so casually get away with murder of the highest order geniuses, what's stopping the other young Huang Dragons from following his lead?

Elder Ming had it engraved in his mind. Those Huang Dragons are wildly ambitious and decisive. They won't hesitate to strike down their enemies at all. 

Despite his thoughts, Elder Ming didn't dare to raise any loud disagreement.

His voice actually carried great caution as he said, "Sect Master. Is it truly over just like this? Would Supreme Ancestor also approve of this?" 

Qiao Tu took a causal glance over at Elder Ming. She could sense his reasonings and subtle meaning. 

But, there wasn't anything she could feasibly do about it. All she could do was nod her head, saying, "I will go meet with Ancestor now. Pass down the news to everyone else."

Without waiting a moment longer, Qiao Tu's body glowed a brilliant orange aura as she vanished into a space distortion. 

Left all alone, Elder Ming could only rummage on his own thoughts. 

Everything just happened so quickly without any proper explanation. Qiao Tu nearly seemed rushed in a way. 

Elder Ming wasn't sure why but a faint ominous chill swept through his mind.
