The Chaos Dragon Prince-Chapter 54 - Taking On Requests
Cain and Kali took a moment to think about the ghost's request.
A task from a World Spirit Force Master from the God Galaxy?
Just from this line alone, the sibling duo could already tell it isn't anything easy.
The mere fact that an all-powerful World Spirit Force figure from the God Galaxy ended up so weak and stuck on a Mortal Planet was enough to set off numerous red flags. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚
But as they contemplated realistically completing such a request, Cain and Kali's thoughts soon changed.
'Hmph, no matter this guy's previous realm, how can it possibly compare to the might of a Dragon Imperial Royal family? Heh, no matter what he gives, we can easily do it.'
Kali's pride was in full force. Sure this ghost showed off his connection to the God Galaxy, but just that wasn't enough to convince her. In her eyes, no family or organization is as powerful as her Draconic heritage!
Moreover, because the ghost had so graciously helped them, Kali felt it was a sense of duty to return the favor. Completing this task would just be a simple flip of her and her brother's palm.
'If we accept this request, we can possibly go on another journey to increase our strength among the God Galaxies. Plus, this ghost can have even more connections from helping. So….'
Cain saw everything from a practical point. He saw no reason to genuinely refused in the first place.
It wasn't like they were being forced to accept. And any type of connection outside their Imperial would prove helpful.
At the same time, Cain and Kali arrived at the same conclusion for entirely different reasons. In that instance, they exchanged a glance and didn't even need to say anything.
Just through their eyes, they could see each other burning wills to accept the request.
Turning back over to the ghost who appeared evidently hopeful, Cain nodded at him and said,
"Before accepting this request, we would like to know what it entails and the rewards we can receive from this." f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
"Ah, my request isn't too complicated and the rewards you can receive will definitely make up for the difficulties." The ghost started off with a relieved sigh.
Out of his long years from becoming a ghostly soul, he never felt as hopeful as he did now. The temptation of these youths' talent was far too mind-breaking to just let go off.
"You see, I was forced to a road of no return because of the schemes of colluding enemies World Spirit Force Masters and other God-level experts. But right before my death, I've managed to split my soul into three pieces, allowing me to cling on to life without a physical body. The problem is, this piece of my soul is the only one that is free. One piece is in a Low God Galaxy realm and is trapped in a Spirit Formation made by a moderately powerful organization called the Wang Family. While the other one is actually closed by here. It's currently being held in Azure Lightning City's Martial Immortal Valley master. Here, for future reference."
The ghost reached into his spiritual body, pulling out a small scroll, and tossed it over to Cain.
"Hm?" Catching the scroll, Cain promptly opened it up and, along with Kali, gave a quick glance over.
Their eyebrows curled in curiosity while reading the decently detailed content. The writing said, Skycloud Realm; Sacred Light World. Wang Family Elder. And under it was an inscription symbol of a cloud.
Next to this was Azure Lightning City, Martial Immortal Valley Master. And under this writing was also an inscription symbol. This time it was drawn into a symbol that resembled a peach.
As Cain and Kali inspected the scroll, the ghost continued to explain, "For the God Galaxy place, once you make it in the Sacred Light World, you would just need to pour your Spirit Sense into the symbol, and it will track my other soul's location. As for the Martial Immortal Valley, it's simply right next to these parts of the Wood. In Azure Lightning City, you can gain the most recent news about them."
"Alright, so we got the targets, but how do we go about freeing your other trap souls?" Kali asked without any hint of fear or reservation.
She most certainly understood that the Wang Family and Martial Immortal Valley Master are both incredibly powerful figures they have no way to face right now.
But that was it. It was only for right now.
Kali knows since they were heading to Azure Lightning City in the first place, the Martial Immortal Valley would inevitably become their stepping stone along with all other powerful organizations in that city.
As for the Wang Family, it was even at a lower level than her Imperial Family!
The differences in strength, wealth, and status vastly increased between each level of God's Galaxies.
Kali knows for sure that her Imperial Family can easily dominate any Low God Galaxy realm if they were so pleased.
Even Cain couldn't help but feel confident about surpassing these two organizations for great rewards.
"Ah, to gain my souls back to me, you would need to become at least Royal Class level Mages and learn the Spirits Sealing technique. This would allow you to seal any sort of spiritual being that doesn't have a physical body into a specifically crafted bottle. Gaining this special type of bottle also costs a hefty sum. But, with your talent, I'm more than sure you two can make greater fortunes very quickly."
With everything laid out for them, there was only one more thing the sibling duo needed to know.
Cain then asked with slight expectations, "So, kill off the Martial Immortal Valley leader and break that Spirit Formation. Got it. For all this work, just what will our rewards be?"
For the first time since coming here, the ghost's lips slightly twitched up.
"Ah, for your rewards, I can give you solid connections to numerous other World Spirit Force Masters that are on my level. Five hundred Heavenly rank Spiritual Beads. Forty Heavenly rank pure Qi Pills. And two rare fruits that can tremendously boost your soul energies past several levels without any trouble."
Cain and Kali stunted in their spots. Their eyes slightly widened, honestly not expecting this kind of reward!
If they can do this right, they could majorly increase their cultivation, Spirit Energy, and soul all at once!
Furthermore, they can also form connections outside of their Imperial Family, branching out into their own way. All that work would definitely be worth it!
And the ghost wasn't even done as he continued to say, "Furthermore, I won't give unrealistic expectations. You two may be geniuses from higher realms, but even talents need time to nurture and develop. Honestly, you two can simply give me the Martial Immortal Valley Master's soul in exchange for the resources rewards. As for the connections, you would actually need to visit that God Galaxy and rescue my soul to truly gain their trust. But again, you have all the time in the world. I've been in this state for hundreds of years in any case."
"Hundreds of years?"
Cain and Kali couldn't help but mutter in slight surprise. Of course, the concept of a long lifespan itself is nothing confusing for the sibling duo.
Even the weakest Senior Elders or Clansmen in their family have been around for at least hundreds of years. The pure evolved vitality gained from Heaven and Earth Origin energy is truly a wonderful concept.
And this concept is what confused Cain and Kali.
Could Heaven and Earth Origin energy really fuel a soul for so many years? Furthermore, a soul that is sealed off in an independent realm?
Cain and Kali didn't know how to wrap their heads around this logic with their limited knowledge of Martial cultivation as a whole.
So Kali was the one who decided to ask, "By the way, before we continue on….just how can you survive for this long as just a soul form? And why exactly are you helping out the mortals on this planet? Also, for when we do rescue your God Galaxy version, what should we say to your friends?"
The ghost took a moment to gather his thoughts. His eyes curiously ran up and down the sibling duo's bodies, and a slight glint twinkled within them.
"If you want to know how I survive for so long, then you must seek this knowledge yourself by continuing down your paths. Trust me, enlightening truths like this can only be fully understood on your own. As for why I'm helping out the mortals here….I suppose you can call it a last goodwill of mines. And when you meet with my connections with my soul in hand, just tell them, Old Nox Soul sent you."
This answer didn't entirely satisfy Cain and Kali. Their eyebrows furrowed as their minds quickly picked up on the subtle meaning within the ghost's words.
Just a few light words from him showed how shallow their own understanding of Martial cultivation was.
Even though they both quite literally started a week ago, Cain and Kali never like to be left in the dark about anything. Especially if the person in front of them seemingly has all the answers.
"Haah….I see…."
Nevertheless, Cain and Kali knew they could only sigh. The ghost logic did make sense to them.
While they want all the answers, they also want to experience every new mystery for themselves. It would feel far more fulfilling and enlightening this way.
At the very least, Cain and Kali were satisfied with knowing just what to call this ghost.
"Well then, I suppose that's all we need, right? We have our goal and know the method to achieve it. So, just how do we leave from here?" Cain asked after taking a moment to collect his thoughts.
The ghost simply summoned Spirit Energy to his fingertips while telling them, "With just a snap of my fingers, I'll take you back to just outside of the cave. Also, if you sense anyone with decent enough Spirit potential, send them over here with the Key. I'm readily available to help at any time."
After saying so, the ghost snapped his fingers.
And at that moment, Cain and Kali immediately felt a great suction force shift their whole surroundings. Once again, the sibling duo shut their eyes, gritting their teeth to resist the powerful force.
'Hu~!'
Then, in a bright blue flash, Cain and Kali disappeared from the boundless blue space.
Left all alone, the ghost began to ponder that recent encounter.
So many emotions he thought died off within him suddenly resurged thanks to that sibling duo. His once endless desolate hopelessness was now beginning to transition to a faint shimmering hope.
'Whatever those two achieve would easily shock this entire Mortal planet. And given time countless realms across God Galaxies.. But, just….how did a being like him birthed into our universe?'
