The Chaos Dragon Prince



Majestic sensations pull every living being across the entire universe into an unbreakable trance rippled from that swirl of soul energy. 

Mortal planets filled with cultivators would feel a special calling to submit their entire martial hearts to this swirl of soul energy. 

The soul energy rapidly condensed, taking the shape of an exotic-looking slave seal. 

There was nothing familiar or traditional about this slave seal to Cain. At spots, there were Dao runes that looked and felt completely foreign to Cain's Spiritual Sea. 

His curiosity spiked as Cain asked, "What a profound Slave Seal. Is this something you specifically created all on your own?" 

Yan Kui proudly smiled. "That's right. With my own insights and from various cultivation arts, I managed to create a unique Slave Seal that can instantly force Early Stage Primal Sovereigns to submit. We don't need to fight and the risk chance of ruining their souls permanently. And even if we do successfully suppress them without killing, we don't need to run the risk of that grandmaster causing permanent damage to their souls with a thought." 

"I see..." The praise in Cain's tone was genuine. 

Not even he can say that he can easily enslave the souls of full-fledged Primal Sovereigns. The only time he got close to that was the situation with the Prime Lord Nether Ash. 

But even at that point, Cain needed the valuable help of Luo Na to drop his soul defenses to an immensely low degree and he needed the element of surprise to instantly defeat that Prime Lord. 

On his own, Cain would have caused tremendous injury to Nether Ash's soul even without that Heavenly Venerate taking over. 

Thus, a way to instantly enslave Primal Sovereigns and even Heavenly Venerates in the future was invaluable help! 

Yan Kui continues to say, "The only downside as of now is that I can't just causally use this technique. I need a great amount of time to form just one of these slave seals along with special other resources that are quite difficult to get. It can even be years before I can create this special slave seal again. Thus, we need to use this special ability at the right times." 

Cain silently nodded, already expecting something so great to come with severe limitations. Even so, he was still excited about the future possibilities. 

At this point, another question struck Cain's mind about Yan Kui's family. "One more thing before we get off this point. What does your family think it means to advance above the Heavenly Venerate realm, to become a True Divinity? I ask since you claim they have been around for hundreds of thousands of years already." 

At this, Yan Kui's lips began to curl into a prideful smile. She didn't have much about her background that could impress an otherworldly genius like Cain. 

But an extremely long history is enough to garner the interest of even higher stages Heavenly Venerates.

She confidently said, "If it's about this, then, as what my parents, grandparents, and ancestors always say, the most important aspect of everything is an unshakable Dao Heart. Without a true Dao Heart toward cultivation, then no matter how profound your cultivation may get, you will never be able to take that final step. The Lightning-Destruction sect is a bit more older than my family, and even the Supreme Elders here agree with their assessment." 

"The Dao Heart huh?" Cain quietly murmured to himself. 

The matter of the Dao Heart is brought up time and time again, but in the end, mere words can't possibly explain the true meaning of a Dao Hart. 

Even Cain knows this at this point. 

The formation of a Dao Heart all comes from a Will that wants to transcend the Heavens themselves, a will that will never stop moving forward even at the cost of burning into ashes. 

And even if that cultivator was burnt to ashes, their Dao Hearts wouldn't break, allowing them to rebirth from such ashes and ascend beyond the heavens as an immemorial existence of legends! 

The only way to ever step on this road is to continually temper and wither oneself on the merciless road of the Great Dao.

No matter how much death-defying danger he encounters, the people he could lose, or how much time it would take to reach higher realms, Cain knows his Dao Heart must always remain stable to overpower all odds trying to impede his path. 

These thoughts cemented deep into Cain's mind. His eyes brilliantly flashed, a faint pulse of a mesmerizing trance pouring out of every pore of his body. 

Yan Kui nearly lost her breath. She didn't think telling Cain such common advice would leave such a profound impact on him. 

This brilliant light cleared away from Cain's eyes. His presence returned to normal as he said, "Well this was an enlightening talk. Here." 

With a causal ease, he tossed over his contact ring at Yan Kui. "Every need to directly talk with me, then just ping me. I'll get to you if I am not busy. Anything else you need to say before I go?" 

For a moment, a dazed look flashed on Yan Kui's face. She gently caressed the contact ring before quickly ordering her thoughts. 

Her tone turned serious as she said, "Yes, just one more thing. As I presume this trip with Empress Soaring Roc may take several months to years, I must tell you that in several years, five or six, possibly seven, it will be the time for the Qualifying Inheritance competition. This is a competition to see which brilliant young experts across the entire Soul God Rod have what it takes to reach God Sovereign Yao's multi-inheritance path." 

"Oh?" Cain couldn't stop himself from being shocked. This entire time he has been thinking about where to track down news of this God Sovereign Yao inheritance. 

He was even thinking of going to the Soul Core Region with an appropriate amount of strength and forcefully finding the information. 

But it seems he was closer than he had ever thought. 

"So, you're telling me that this Sovereign God set down a pre-qualifier to see which youths can take on the road to his true inheritances?" Cain asked with great interest. 

Yan Kui simply thought it was the same excitement anyone would have when hearing that such an unfathomable inheritance was available for anyone. 

She answered, "Indeed. It truly is a brutal competition, however. Only those with a skeletal age under 200 can participate and even at such a young age, there are terrifying geniuses in the Soul Core Region at half-step Heavenly Venerate who can even kill early stage Heavenly Venerates. Thankfully, true Heavenly Venerates are exempt from participating. But even so, we all have to be extra cautious when going to this competition." 

"I see..." Cain's lips nearly twitched. 

His blood of a Dragon God was faintly rumbling in increasing anticipation. Being able to fight on the level of genuine Heavenly Venerates! 

The very legendary existences Cain could only look up to for so long. To attain that kind of combat prowess caused his soul to violently pulsate.

Keeping his emotions in check, Cain nodded to Yan Kui and said, "Thank you for the information. If that's all, then I shall be going now. I'll need to discuss this with the others." 

"As you wish, young noble. I will be sure to quickly inform you if any relevant news comes up." Yan Kui deeply bowed to Cain. 

Not much could stir up Cain if he isn't with his lovers. But hearing a supreme genius like Yan Kui call him a young noble did greatly stroke his already high pride.
