THE CHAOS DRAGON PRINCE - season 1 Episode 16

“Say, Kali, before we choose our stuff, I was wondering, for our future cultivation, can we use the best Crystal Beads to quickly power ourselves up?”

At that moment, Cain recalled how Crystal Beads are basically this universe accepted currency.

Inside every Crystal Bead contains a unique type of profound energy that holds numerous uses.

From what Kali explained to him, not many exactly know what profound energy is. But she did define that their uses range from helping World Spirit Force experts, empowering formations, creating various tools and weapons, among other necessities.

However, out of all their uses, the most important quality Crystal Bead has was aiding people in cultivating speed.

Depending on the rank of the Crystal Bead, it could provide any cultivator with impressive results, far better than what they can achieve on their own in the short term.

This is why Cain briefly considers if they should just gather a lot of powerful Crystal Beads to rapidly breakthrough in the future.

But, his suggestion was promptly shut down by Kali. With a shake of her head, she began explaining to Cain, “No, that would be really detrimental to our combat prowess and future cultivation realms. I did say that Crystal Beads helps with cultivation, but really, only lower realm cultivators and Divine Plane cultivators use this method. Very rarely, even in Low God Galaxy, would cultivators use Crystal Beads to breakthrough.”

“Ah, I see.”

Cain wasn’t upset at that news at all. In fact, he mostly predicted this response as this was quite common in the novels he read back on Earth.

He then continues to say, “Basically, we’ll need to rely on our comprehension abilities and our other talents and methods to perfectly breakthrough. Otherwise, we’ll have an unstable cultivation base.”

“Yep. I don’t know a lot about the profound energy inside the Crystal Beads, but it’s too impure for proper cultivation uses. Of course, that isn’t to say we can’t use Crystal Beads for other things in cultivation. But for our maximum potential, we should mainly rely on our talents. Even for Heavenly or Divine Rank Pills, medicines or herbs that are a far safer method than Crystal Beads, it’s always best to rely on ourselves.”

Kali concluded, causing Cain to enter brief contemplation.

Although Cain hoped this universe would differ in the cultivation aspect, he actually felt it was better this way. And thinking about the starting realm of cultivation, Cain could admit there was some uniqueness there.

The starting point in cultivation for all is the Spirit Opening realm.

In this realm, once a cultivator 34 Main Qi Veins fully develops, they would need to transform their entire body with the energy permeating the air of the whole universe.

There are numerous forms of energy permeating the air of the universe, and the weakest form of energy is Spirit Qi.

Spirit Qi directly correlates with the Spirit Opening realm; it’s what cultivators in this realm need to comprehend and absorb in order to advance.

The realm next would be the Nascent Formation realm.

On paper, Cain still found this realm relatively unique and simple as he just needed to comprehend Nascent Qi, the following form of energy, and form his Qi Seed.

After this realm is the Profound Soul Realm. Now it is in this realm, things get far more complicated.

To just get through the realm, he would need to comprehend a cultivation manual and have an extremely high comprehension talent.

Thankfully, Cain was all but assured of his Martial Talent, considering he was given a firm approval from his grandmother.

Shi Wei is an unfathomable expert who lived for several thousands of years, accumulating the highest strength in their Royal family. If her judgment is wrong, then Cain didn’t want to know who would be right.

Plus, Cain also felt confidence from his Chaotic Emerald and the ancient book. If he ever got stuck, he was also positive the Chaotic Emerald can provide a tremendous powerup.

With all that swirling in his mind, Cain swiftly decided to just focus on perfecting the first two realms of cultivation.

Turning his mind back to reality after a few seconds of silence, Cain said, “Alright. We know what we need. Let’s get choosing.”

“Ah. Right, let’s go.” At his call, Kali was suddenly awoken from seemingly deep thought.

Right then, Cain and Kali took a few steps in different directions to the cultivation manuals sections. But before they could go any further, Kali abruptly stopped herself.

Her eyes lit up in realization as she tapped her forehead. “Ah! Actually, wait. I should’ve brought this up far sooner Cain, but we need to change our clothes!”

In an instant, Kali reached into her pocket, pulled out a spatial ring, and poured a sliver of energy inside. The spatial ring sparked a faint glow, and afterward, two sets of black clothing appeared on Kali’s hands.

“In my excitement to leave, I forgot to mention that we need to change our clothes. After all, our dragon robes stand out way too much. Our beautiful faces will cause us enough attention; we don’t need an added layer of troublesome issues.”

Kali explained while handing Cain one of the black clothing sets.

Looking down at the clothes, Cain remarked they indeed looked ordinary. Hell, even for his previous world standard, this would blend right into the crowds of people.

And this ordinary disguise Cain found to be perfect for him and Kali.

Cain wholeheartedly agreed that they didn’t need any unnecessary trouble because of their distinctive looks. He still doesn’t know what his face looks like, but he can tell that his dragon robes simply exude a majestic aura.

Taking the clothes from Kali’s hand, Cain nodded at her and said, “You truly thought of everything. Ok, now let’s get choosing.”

Then, without any more interruptions, Cain and Kali split off to find their respective cultivation manual sections.

Once Cain was all alone, he quickly shuffled out of his luxuriously looking Dragon robes and changed into the standard-looking black clothes. After changing, Cain kept his Dragon robes in one hand while browsing through a selection of cultivation manuals.

Since he was under a semi-strict time limit, Cain didn’t get lax when searching through the cultivation manuals, but he also didn’t hurriedly rush it.

The cultivation manuals Cain searched through were all fancy-looking scrolls painted in various colors. And under each cultivation manual was a brief description detailing their ranking grade and name.

As expected, since they are a mighty God Galaxy family, all of the cultivation manuals were at least in the Heaven Grade.

Cultivation manuals are critically essential to any cultivator’s life. Without one, a cultivator would not be able to get through the Profound Soul Realm.

Cultivation manuals are all made on the conceptual basis of the ‘mysteries of the world.’

Cain wasn’t quite sure what this term means, and neither did Kali know. But the so-called ‘mysteries of the world’ is supposed to give any cultivator profound insight into the intricacies of cultivation as a whole.

Beyond the philosophical aspect of cultivation manuals, the general benefit cultivation manuals have for cultivators would make anyone go green for greed.

From significantly speeding up cultivation, tremendously boosting one’s combat prowess beyond their usual standards or other unique and helpful abilities, it all can be gained from a cultivation manual.

Recalling Kali’s words when they were traveling here, Cain knows there are five ranking grades that separate these cultivation manuals. And within each ranking grade, three separate stages tell how challenging it would be to cultivate this manual.

The five ranking grades go from Human, Earthen, Heaven, Divine, and Saint.

For an upper Mid echelon God Galaxy family, it was common for them to have an abundance of Heaven Grade cultivation manuals.

Although, for the Divine Grade, Cain spotted there were far fewer in numbers. Plus, most of these cultivation manuals were only at the 1st Divine Grade. There were even fewer 2nd Divine Grade and barely any 3rd Divine Grade.

As for the fifth and highest known ranking grade, Saint Grade, that would be impossible to find in their Royal Family.

And it wasn’t like Cain’s Family was weak or lacked resources.

But across peak High echelon and even central echelon God Galaxies, there are not many Saint Grade cultivation manuals.

Supposedly, the ones who can find these mythical cultivation manuals and have enough talent to actually cultivate them, they would have a straight pathway to become a peerless expert of any generation.

Thinking of all his available options, Cain decided to settle on a 1st Divine Grade cultivation manual.

He wasn’t precisely sure how high his or Kali’s talent is. But judging from his grandmother’s reaction and their own Dragon God bloodline, Cain was assured it’s insanely high.

Furthermore, for a High Tier Mortal Planet, a Divine Grade cultivation manual is more than enough.

Despite having an abundance of Heaven Grade cultivation manuals here, only the absolute strongest organization would have a variety of Heaven Grade cultivation manuals on a Mortal Planet.

And Divine Grade cultivation manuals were basically talks of legends and myths in the lower realm. Even more challenging for lower realms cultivators was the fact that many wouldn’t even be able to cultivate either Heaven Grade or Divine Grade cultivation manuals.

The talent and martial comprehension needed to complete these manuals are at remarkably high levels that lower realm cultivators simply don’t have.

With all that in mind, Cain had searched for several minutes and eventually stopped his sights on one interesting cultivation manual.

It was a 1st Divine Grade manual, and it was simply named ‘Lightning Draconic Arts.’

Cain only thought about it for a moment before picking up the scroll. Unraveling the scroll, Cain skimmed over the first section. It read as such,

‘Possibility of death if one’s Martial Talent and Bodily strength are too low. At least Nascent Formation Realm is required to begin cultivating.

1st Stage: Draconic Lightning; forming a powerful Draconic Lightning aura that will tremendously improve one’s striking power and speed. Gives one a Lightning Elemental Affinity if they don’t have it before cultivating.’

Below this description, Cain noticed there was a bright blue symbol that looked like a perfect combination of a Dragon and Lightning.

Cain didn’t bother to read further since he would need to master the 1st Stage before the more advanced techniques.

‘Hmmm….out of all I saw, I think I’ll go with this one. It’s pretty simple in its description, and the thought of controlling Lightning always amazed me the most. In any case, I doubt there would be anyone on that Mortal Planet that can match this manual.’

Cain boastfully thought to himself, sounding a slight bit overconfident.

Even though Cain was fully aware nothing is ever set in stone in these universes, he couldn’t help but feel his own Dragon Pride swell up inside him.

If his 1st Grade Divine Cultivation manual can’t beat out those in the lower realm, then they really aren’t fit to be crowned as the lineage of a Dragon God.

When Cain had finished choosing his cultivation manual, he suddenly picked up on Kali making her way towards him.

Before he even turned around, Kali called out to him, saying, “Ah, Cain. You were taking some time, so I gathered everything we needed for our journey after getting my manual. Truthfully, I don’t think we need a weapon; these Divine Grade manuals should be more than enough.. Unless….do you want a weak one?”
