BXBX NOVEL Chapter 264 - Risky Method
Before coming to an answer, Huang Xun started to quickly recall all those previous adventures she and Dai had undergone.
In those times, they were either accompanied by an expert or fully showcased their identities. Both times, they had secure protections.
The expert guarding them was self-explanatory.
But even without an expert, nobody would dare to even attempt to assassinate them.
As they and many other Holy Lands or Holy Martial Families have life-crystals attached to their souls.
If they were dead, in a long period of unconsciousness, or unable to use their Inner World, the life-crystal would alert the other line no matter what.
And once this happens, the consequences for the opposing force would be unthinkable.
The only known counter to this is to have a high enough cultivation to completely erase the soul and the life-crystal, preventing information leaking.
Or getting a World Spirit Masters who are on the Spiritual Soul attainment path to erase the life-crystal.
Both options aren\'t feasibly possible in their Thunderous Collision Realm.
The first method is because the highest cultivation in this Realm is simply at the Divine Ruler Realm. And Huang Xun and Dai\'s life crystals were created by Divine Rulers.
Moreover, most Holy Kings wouldn\'t even have the proper methods to silently erase a soul without alerting the other end.
Only those above have a possible chance simply because their prowess is at unfathomable heights.
As for the second option, that was even rarer!
World Spirit Masters are already fewer in numbers compared to Martial cultivators. Furthermore, the Spiritual Soul path is an incredibly mysterious one not many across the entire God Galaxies even slightly understand.
In the Thunderous Collision Realms, it is basically an unspoken rule that without the means to deal with a life-crystal, killing important figures is simply seeking an unending amount of trouble.
With these two factors, it could be said that Huang Xun and Dai were secured from any lone cultivators or World Spirit Masters. And even other Divine Ruler Holy Lands wouldn\'t dare go too far with them.
But at this current moment, these two factors are unknown to the public.
In the eyes of everyone else, Huang Dai and Xun were just another pair of shady-looking cultivators.
The hesitation in robbing them is almost all but gone. The Dragon siblings only have their Divine Origin cultivation to rely on in their current state.
However, even with these massive disadvantages, Huang Xun already felt a firm decision formed within her mind.
Lightly sighing, Huang Xun calmed herself as she said, "Alright. You truly do bring up good points. We will go to this resources cave. But remember, we will promptly escape when it truly gets dangerous."
No arguments came from Huang Dai as he calmly nodded.
Huang Xun had then swept her Divine Sense through the jade scroll map, instantly memorizing its contents.
With the layout in her Spiritual Sea, Huang Xun snapped her attention around, narrowing her eyes in her a specific direction.
Wordlessly, she flew off in this same direction, turning into a trail of light as she tore through the skies,
Huang Dai closely followed right behind her.
The siblings\' speed was incredible. As true Divine Origin experts, they can easily reach near lightning-like speeds in terms of only traveling.
Crossing dozens of miles in no time, the siblings weren\'t expecting anything to impede their way.
But long and behold, they both suddenly detected three powerful auras flying straight at them.
Huang Xun knitted her brows, making an instant judgment. \'One ordinary Great Divine Sea warrior. And two 2ndfall Divine Origin warriors. This must be tread with some caution.\'
Her judgment swirled in Huang Dai\'s mind with sound transmission.
As the siblings were extensively used to working together, they didn\'t need any further words as they quickly came to a stop.
Right at that moment, a clear, crisp voice called out to them.
"Excuse us, sir, miss? Just a moment of your time?"
As the man spoke, three figures gradually entered Huang Dai and Xun\'s visions.
Several meters away from the Dragon siblings, floating confidently, were three men dressed in high-quality brown leather armor. The armor had several lines traces of Spirit energy flowing through it, giving off a slight deterrence towards those on the same level.
Huang Dai and Xun could instantly tell the armor was refined by a decent enough World Spirit Masters. Furthermore, they had a feeling that these three were competent enough Divine Origin cultivators.
Their appearances weren\'t anything noteworthy.
But their natural Divine auras weren\'t receded in the slightest, showcasing a degree of power to establish their presence.
As the Dragon siblings were scrutinizing these three men, the men were also calmly analyzing them.
While neither Huang Dai nor Xun was showcasing their full auras, it was evident to perceive that their Divine auras weren\'t feeble in the slightest.
Also, from their auras, they were able to tell their genders since male and female indeed has distinct sensation in their auras.
With a lack of knowledge, the men naturally opted for a polite opening. Equal level Divine Origin cultivators would run on some degree of this specific logic.
And it was something that Huang Xun was willing to extend for their own advantage.
In an entirely calm tone that wasn\'t overly servile or arrogant, Huang Xun asked, "Yes? Is there something you need help with?"
The man in the middle, the one who spoke before, brightly smiled at her question.
"Ah, as you probably guessed it, but we are in need of a bit of help for the resources cave. A few days have passed since its opening, but the situation is only becoming more chaotic. I\'m assuming you two had recently shown up, no? Well, in essence, more smaller size forces and families are showing up for a piece of the action. By now, they\'re practically forcing out nearly all of the lone cultivators. Only those in large groups can even have a chance to participate in the general area. By your auras, we can tell that both of you have considerably powerful foundations. Would you like to join our party? I can assure you won\'t regret it."
As he spoke, the other two men beside him promptly spoke up, each of them having similar polite smiles.
"Indeed, you won\'t regret it. Just us alone are a considerable force. We can confidently face other Great Divine Sea groups and either win or retreat."
"And along with you two, we have an almost assured chance of winning most of the time. The spoils inside the cave are certainly worth the team up."
Huang Dai and Xun\'s faces flashed in ponderance, seriously regarding their suggestion. Their minds quickly worked, and the next moment, they flashed each other a look.
Huang Xun spoke first in sound transmission, \'I can perceive that this man is only just a 3rd fall Great Divine Sea warrior. He barely made it to this realm as it is; his aura isn\'t stable at all. Just like feeling a shaky water stream. Us together, even if we can\'t defeat him, we can safely retreat without any issues.\'
\'Mn, I can perceive it too. And those 2ndfalls Divine Origin warriors have a similarly shaky aura. Honestly, we can beat them without even using a good portion of our true power. By then, we will still have plenty enough energy to deal with the Great Divine Sea warrior.\' Huang Dai calmly analyzed.
Compared to Cain\'s group, Huang Dai and Xun knows their combat prowess isn\'t anywhere near as exaggerated.
But still, their both geniuses in their own rights.
They both cultivated several powerful moves and even ultimate killer moves that cover all aspects of combat.
To ultimate killing speed, defense, speed, and battlefield domains, they have no reason to fear a mere weak Great Divine Sea warrior.
Between Divine Origin and the Great Divine Sea realm, the quality of Divine Qi experiences massive qualitative evolutions. It was similar to the varying level of Qi in the Mortal Realms.
But even so, Huang Dai and Xun\'s foundation were truly enough to at least contend with that level of qualitative Divine Qi.
Most top-level geniuses from Low to High realms have a similar level of prowess.
As she considered all of this, Huang Xun continued to say, \'So we will join their party. This would be an exceptional experience. Moreover, there will bound to be stronger people than them in the cave. And it will be up to us to handle these situations to the best of our abilities.\'
\'Alright. Heh, you always end up making the decision between us anyways.\' Huang Dai lightly smiled before moving his gaze back to the three men.
Their interactions merely lasted for a moment as their Spiritual Sea can process thoughts at rapid-fire speeds.
Turning her attention back over as well, Huang Xun said, "After some consideration, we will go with you."
"Excellent." The middle man smilingly nodded.
Pointing to himself and the other two, he introduced, "My name is Pao, and these two are Zhao and Ning. Your names?"
"I am Lin, and this is Long." Huang Xun replied.
Naturally, neither she nor Dai was foolish enough to give out their actual names.
With the introductions over and the order settled, the group of five promptly flew out, turning into trails of light that soared towards the resources cave.
…
Huang Dragon\'s hidden world, Dragon Celestial Pool.
In another separated dimension of the pool, Kali stood calm and still, akin to an ice statue.
Her body glowed a faint, luminous icy blue light, releasing unending cold into the atmosphere.
For around 300 meters around Kali, the space had a faint misty icy blue haze covering around. The haze completely transformed only this tiny portion of the atmosphere.
Within the misty ice haze, the temperature was at painful absolute freezing levels.
But the cold didn\'t disturb Kali at all.
Kali\'s eyes were closed in complete focus, her entire mental psyche concentrated on solely manipulating the Minor Ice Law sphere within her dantian.
But what Kali was doing was entirely different from regular usage of Minor Law spheres.
Typically, any Martial cultivators would stimulate their Soul\'s Core, releasing massive streams of soul energy to stimulate their dantian, utilizing either their Qi or Law essence.
Only through soul energy can anyone properly withstand the forces of nature and the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to use its incredibly powerful abilities.
But at the same time, soul energy acts as a mediator for all forces of power.
If one uses only a tiny portion of soul energy and tries to draw out more power from either Law essence or Qi, one would run the risk of greatly damaging their souls, dantian and mental psyche, or Spiritual Sea!
The reason being that unfiltered Law essence or Qi of any type, Mortal or Divine, is highly uncontrollable and chaotically powerful.
Soul energy adjusts Law essence and Qi to the suitable standard of which a Martial cultivator could handle it.
Trying to break past this limit has the potential possibility of even ruining one foundation!
However, with risks, there are bound to be great rewards.
This is what Kali found out entirely on her own.. In essence, she managed to discover her own lucky chance within this Divine pool.
