The Chaos Dragon Prince

If they could cultivate… 

Just this short phase sent chaotic, turbulent waves through each of their minds. The proof was right in front of their faces, and yet nobody knew how this was feasibly possible.

And right as the whole chamber devolved into a silent confusion, a soft voice yet powerful voice slithered into everyone's ears. 

"Mn…so it seems little Cain holds surprises for me even now."

At that moment, everyone snapped their attention to the right of the table. Huang Laolong, Song Lin, Xun, and Dai's eyes all widened at two sudden guests who appeared like demons and ghosts!

"Mo-mother?! Fa-father?!" Huang Laolong's mental state was in an emotional upheaval. He couldn't keep his calm as he suddenly blurted out. This piece of news was just too mind-breaking. 

And as he indeed called it, the ones calmly standing to the right of them as if they were always there was one gracious, otherworldly beauty and a tall, imposing-looking man.

The woman had a small soft smile filled with elegant charm while the man kept his expression indifferently calm as if nothing was affecting him. 

This man's near unfathomable presence would be enough to drown any mortal into complete suffocation. The heights he stood at seemed to be an unapproachable mountain. 

Even Huang Laolong, Xun, Dai, and Song Lin stood completely straight under this man's steel-like eyes.

Side by side, the gentlewoman and imposing man mystically complemented each other. It was like they both belonged to each other. 

Of course, these two were the Ancient Dragon Empress Shi Wei and the Ancient Dragon Emperor, Huang Wulong!

And without giving anyone a chance to properly think over their sudden appearance, Shi Wei continues to say, "Since you all already know, let's cut to the chase, shall we? It isn't only Cain, but Kali as well can now cultivate. Moreover, they will be returning home in just a few days."

Her tone was very calm, as if this was very old news. Even Huang Wulong kept his calmly indifferent expression like he had heard about this news from long ago. 

But compared to her calm, neither Huang Dai, Xun, Linglong, or Song Lin could retain any semblance of composure. Each of them stayed silent, their minds trying to comprehend how this load of news is actually possible. 

Huang Linglong and Song Lin were especially affected. 

Given that they had referred to Shi Wei for many years over this subject, it was simply too mind-blogging to have everything dumped on them all at once. Neither could suppress the storms of questions streaming their minds. 

They wanted all answers now but also didn't dare to press Shi Wei. 

Taking a small breath, slightly calming his chaotic mental state, Huang Wulong slowly asked, "Are you going to tell us how any of this is possible and just why keep it a secret? As the last time I checked, nothing had changed about their bodily constitution." 

"Truthfully…even I'm not entirely sure how all this was possible. In a sense, you can call this a stroke of luck or the hands of fate. But what is assured, we will be having new geniuses entering our family." Shi Wei mysteriously said. 

And even as she was being purposely mysterious, Shi Wei still couldn't actually say she knew what was happening behind Cain and Kali's sudden cultivation.

Since they left two months ago, she tried her honest best to seek out the cause, using all her methods available. She had even gone to highly costly World Spirit Masters, putting forth her best items for any semblance of an answer.

However, all roads she took quickly became cold. 

It was the same as when Cain and Kali were firstborn. Their lack of cultivation aptitude couldn't be explained, and their current cultivation's birth seemed almost magical.

But as unexplainable as this situation was, Shi Wei was assured they all would eventually find the answers. She firmly believed there wasn't anything in this universe that was unexplainable.

What may seem that way would only be because their Perception and Comprehension abilities are nowhere near high. This belief stemmed from her understanding of the ever-elusive Heavenly Dao.

At her cultivation, Shi Wei wouldn't dare say she perceived even a tiny portion of all the complex truths contained within the Heavenly Dao. 

After all, this was equal to understanding the truths that formulate the whole universe.

But, she is assured that Heaven will always leave a small chance for any and all Martial cultivator. Many times, common Lower Realm Martial cultivators can break through the shackles of destiny and become a grand warrior that can overturn the whole skies. 

And with Cain and Kali's new abilities cultivators, wouldn't this similarly be a path the Heavens is graciously handing out? 

It wasn't a 100% foolproof answer. But it was a start to figuring out their situations. 

Still, not everyone can have these deep thoughts about this situation. Shi Wei's mysterious only served to confuse everyone else even more. 

"Gra-grandmother? The hands of fate? Can this really be called fate? And for that matter, does something like fate exist?"

Huang Dai quietly muttered, his and Xun's face twisting in confusion. These siblings were especially disbelieving in fate. They both only believed in putting in work to achieve what they wanted.

If not, they would've been ordinary Royal children, never wildly succeeding over their other siblings. 

But despite their unwillingness to believe, the only additional answer they received was a faint smile from Shi Wei.

As for Huang Wulong and Song Lin, they didn't have time to understand Shi Wei's mysterious words. This was commonplace for her in any case. In her own words, they can only experience true enlightenment when they come upon it themselves.

In all honesty, there were genuine merits to her beliefs. Hell, both Huang Linlong and Song Lin know all of their comprehension indeed came from their own abilities. 

However, now wasn't the time for that.

As Saint Dragon Elders, the highest Elders of their Royal Family, they will need to accordingly affix their children with new statuses. 

Additionally, there were numerous other tasks that must be achieved upon their arrival.

But out of everything, Huang Linlong and Song Lin still needed at least one clear answer. They both look between Shi Wei and Huang Wulong, trying to gauge their expressions.

Seeing them both still retained no noticeable waves, Song Lin asked, "Ok, look. Barring how they achieved this, can we at least know how long has this been going on for? Has it truly only been two months, and this secret was still kept under wraps?"

Shi Wei wasn't ashamed to admit it, calmly nodding while saying, "Indeed, I kept all of this under wraps for two months. In my eyes, I needed to specifically monitor them before revealing them to the public. But even so, I know I can't avoid the Ancient Dragon Rules forever. Thus, they will be coming home in just a few days."

"Additionally, though they will be returning, this news will have to be analyzed by the other Ancient Dragons. This meeting will happen before they come, meaning no clear, concrete decision has been made yet. Essentially, this news cannot be broadcast yet. I am sure you all know the severity of this situation." Huang Wulong had suddenly spoken up, finishing off their explanation. 

Although it wasn't all the answers they were looking for, neither Huang Dai, Xun, Linlong, or Song Lin raised any more questions.

Obeying all of the Ancient Dragons' words go without question. 

Moreover, it would do more harm if it does get broadcasted that Cain and Kali could cultivate without them being present.

After all, while they can cultivate, nobody here knows the limit of their Martial Talent. The reading from the Aura Tracker crystal wasn't anywhere near a precise reading. And as direct Royal descendent, it was the utmost imperative that Cain and Kali have Divine Martial Talent. 

Anything less would be a significant disgrace. 

If the children who had directly inherited the Dragon God genes from one of the strongest Ancient Dragon Emperors weren't at this level of Martial Talent, the shame would be too much to bear.

Even the most ordinary of direct Royal descendent far surpassed most God Galaxies Holy Land geniuses. 

This is why outside of their family, both Cain and Kali are hardly known. Now, they have a perfect chance to make up for a significant loss in reputation. 

As they thought of this, their curiosity burned even brighter. They wanted to ask further questions, but the subtle pressure from Huang Wulong was too great.

But as if she could directly perceive their thoughts, Shi Wei suddenly said, "If you're wondering about their Martial Talents, do not worry about it. I can say they have the highest assurance to go beyond expectations, but my words can't completely convince everyone. For this, you will just have to see when they both take on the Dragon Alter Steps test. For now, you all will have to wait until I call upon you for further updates about this situation."

"So they really will participate in that…" 

Huang Xun quickly fell into deep thought. She is usually never the one to seriously consider gut instinctive or so-called premonitions feelings.

However, she wasn't able to entirely ignore a strange sensation swirling in the pit of her gut. Perhaps it was because of what she felt from the Aura Tracker crystal, but Huang Xun felt as if something far too strange would happen very soon.

As everyone stewed on their thoughts, neither Huang Wulong nor Shi Wei stuck around a second later. They both blurred right out of existence, leaving the same way they came in, just like a ghost.

"Alright then, I'm sure you two don't need to be told twice, right?" 

Song Lin directed a commanding gaze towards both Huang Dai and Xun. And when seeing the siblings solemnly nodded, she continued to say, "Good. Not even the slightest bit of what learned here can leak out to anyone. But don't let this completely disrupt your mood. Continue with your cultivation with a calm mind until we get contacted again. Now disperse, your father and I have something to discuss."

Though Huang Dai and Xun wanted to stick around to discuss more, they naturally didn't disobey their parents. They gave one last bow before swiftly leaving the room, both of their minds still in relenting chaos.

Left all alone, Huang Linlong and Song Lin's bodies sank deeply into their chairs, simultaneously releasing breaths of new accumulated tension. The news of their children with the ability to cultivate left them genuinely mixed.

Song Lin wasn't able to hold her emotions as she spoke first, her tone a bit weary. "So they both can now cultivate, hm? I hope you realize this can end either of two extremes with no in-between. Either they have equal Divine Talents, or we must continue keeping them a secret. Preferably, I do hope it's the former. We are in need of some kind of new miracle."

"Hm." Huang Linlong slowly nodded. "Considering it is mother, I have some assurance the results will end up favorably. She may dote on them, but her mind will become pragmatic when concerning the entirety of the family. Still, we have to be sure to prepare for the worst. Any semblance of weakness can be a gateway for the other Holy Lands."

"If at worse, we can send them towards a Lower Divergent Realm to see if they can stumble another lucky chance. But at best, we'll have to make accurate judges on how to delegate their resources." Song Lin critically spoke. 

Even now, both parents were merely focusing on the values Cain and Kali can bring. All other forms of sentiments truly weren't at a high priority. 

In their eyes, this was only standard. They are a Martial Family equal to an ordinary God Galaxy Holy Land. No matter how seemingly cold their decisions were, it was all for their continued survival and eventual prosperity.
