Chapter 219: Royal Princes & Princesses

Countless Realms from the Heaven Sky Planet, all the way back to the Thunderous Collision Realm. 

Inside the Huang Dragon Imperial Palace. 

Deep within the Imperial Palace is where all the main superior Dragon bloodline youths causally roam around for whatever plan goals they currently have in mind.

Most walking these massively expansive grand halls were of the younger generation. Rarely would one visibly see a Dragon Elder as they prefer to be in the shadow. 

But even then, the security here was of absolute perfect quality, so there was little to zero need for them.

Because of this, there was a lighter air of pressure permeating these grand halls. The younger generation Dragons could freely converse with each other without the need to keep up rigid pretenses.

As the Dragon youths roam the halls, one will be able to spot a distinct quality of how everyone sorted themselves. 

For the more average of Dragon youths, they all prefer to travel in large groups. These talents remained in their own cliques, supporting each other for most tasks or needs. Rarely, if ever, can anyone spot these Dragon youths walking around on their own. 

The harsh environment of the Imperial Palace truly doesn't allow for any slouch. One careless mistake could lead to a brutal downfall that is hard to recover from. 

After all, on the Martial Road, greed for greater resources is especially great within these Imperial Walls. To walk around on your own is what even higher Dragon genius youths didn't dare to think about. 

However, there were always exceptions to unspoken rules. 

This exception came in the form of one young, handsome youth who easily stood above thousands of other special divine Dragon youths.

This young man deliberately walked with a calming pace, every step of his seemingly exuding a faint suffocating pressure. It was like his whole being was crafted by power that is impossible to contend with.

Only ignorant ones would dare encroach on his vicinity. Thus all other Dragon youths gave this young man a vast breadth. 

Nobody dared to approach even a 100 feet close.

Furthermore, all eyes that gazed upon him were filled with utter awe, respect, and even a hint of fear. Some were even whispering that they were having the chance to walk down the same halls as this Royal Prince.

Indeed, the only ones among the prideful batches of Dragon youths that can command such attention were the famous Royal Princes and Princesses!

These were all youths who have been blessed by their supreme Dragon Ancestors and have direct, strong connections with them.

Even if a Dragon youth's Martial Talent is incredibly immense, they will still need to bow their heads towards the direct Dragon Royal Children's. One wrong move and they could see their entire lives instantly ruined.

As for the current Prince slowly strolling the hall, it was the 2nd Royal Prince Huang Dai. 

Being one of the eldest of the Direct Royal children, the prestige Huang Dia gathers wasn't small at all. In fact, besides three others and the Crown Prince, his prestige far surpasses anyone else. 

"Sheesh…just look at that. Prince Dai probably made another breakthrough in his Divine Qi! His presence is even more breathtaking now…"

"Not only that, but I can feel the far powerful essence of Laws emitting from him. Tch. To think they're all saying the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands can suppress us. With Prince Dai and all the others, this is nothing but a joke!"

"Hehe! I seriously can't wait for the Heavenly Banquet. We'll be able to finally clear the air throughout this entire realm." 

Whispers like this spread throughout the entire grand hall. Some were even becoming increasingly excited the more they talked. 

It was impossible for them to suppress it anyways. Huang Dai's genius capacities are virtually their Dragon Pride.

Martial Talents like him are how they all can keep their heads held up high for all of their lives! Barely anyone had any honest thoughts about even formulating envy with Huang Dai.

Most of these Dragon youths spoke via energy sound transmissions. But there were a few who couldn't contain themselves, blurting whatever was on their mind at this moment. 

These Dragon youths were especially agitated over the incoming pressure of the Heavenly Banquet and their outside rivals. 

But though they had many rivals within the Thunderous Collisions Realm, only one genuinely registered in their minds.

That is, the Ancient Phoneix Holy Lands! 

Those fiery youths were always annoying pests to them. But these last recent years showcase the Phoenixes are more troublesome than initially thought. 

Only because of Martial talents like Huang Dai, these Dragons' youths fervently disdain those Ancient Phoenixes' disciples.

Now, with the prospect of an earlier Heavenly Banquet coming just around the corner, all Dragon youths felt their dislike for the Phoenixes increase by dozens of times. 

And as all manners of discussion erupted around him, Huang Dai evidently heard all of it. 

However, he didn't visibly react. He simply kept on walking with calm, even steps as if no recent news could affect him at all.

But internally, Huang Dai had various sharp thoughts rapidly swirling his mind. 'Two months and still not even the slightest trace of those two…if only these ones realize it. Hopefully, by the end of today, we can get some kind of lead.'

Determination flashed within Huang Dai's brilliant eyes. Out of the younger generation, he desperately wanted to perform the absolute best for Heavenly Banquet. 

Unwilling to simply stay in his usual lane, he was pouring all of his hopes in that seeking out Cain and Kali can accidentally subtle upon some sort of heaven-shattering secrecy.

As Huang Dai's thoughts were filled with these rich fantasies, he eventually walked far away from the crowd. 

He traversed deep into the Imperial Palace, reaching a point where the area would be off-limit to the other Dragon youths.

But Huang Dai strolled unhindered, eventually reaching a surprisingly plain black-colored door. Nobody would think that there's someone or something extraordinary behind here.

However, Huang Dai still went to respectfully knock, not having even the slightest thoughts of simply barging right in. 

And right as he moved his hand to knock, an indifferent voice of a woman filled with a mysterious charm called out to him.

"Just come in, Dai." 

That supremely cold tone of her could cause any weaker Dragon youths to entirely freeze up. Even Huang Dai blinked his eyes as he rapidly calmed his mental state.

Once he was calmer, he swiftly opened the door, stepping into the room. As he walked in, he spotted a fairy-like beautiful young maiden sitting at a desk. 

Similar to his own look and presence, this woman's appearance was one that stands at the very summit.

Her looks were near flawless, as if she was sculptured by a true divine being. Moreover, her presence was nearly too mesmerizing; anyone weaker wouldn't be able to take their eyes off from her.

This enchanting beauty was the 2nd Royal Princess, Huang Xun. 

And as per usual, Huang Xun had all of her attention focused upon a strange-looking pitch-black sword resting upon her desk.

It was like anything about the outside world couldn't match a percent of importance compared to this black sword. Even for a small moment, Huang Xun briefly ignored Dai in favor of just a few more seconds of studying the sword.

Expecting this, Huang Dai only shook his head in slight exasperation. He honestly can't figure at all of this great obsession with the sword. But when she's determined, Huang Dai knows there's little he can do to change her mind.

Shifting his thoughts around, Huang Dai fished out a spatial ring and raised it high while saying, "Well, I finally managed to get the crystal. Seriously, you wouldn't believe how stingy Royal Mother and Father were about this. Thankfully, their curiosity about Cain and Kali isn't small at all."

As Huang Dai finished talking, slight ripples began to spread through Huang Xun's mind. 

She knew that the crystal Huang Dai obtained wasn't anything ordinary or just merely special.

It was actually a crystal orb that could track any faint traces of a Draconic Aura! 

Within the Crystal orb Aura tracker was highly powerful Soul Laws and concentrated Dragon blood essence, making it feasible to pick up the faintest trace of a Dragon's Aura.

This would be extremely helpful for seeking out a Dragon that has gone missing or gone rogue. 

Nowadays, this Crystal Orb is, if ever, used at all. After all, their Imperial Palace is in a situation similar to a stable peace. No Dragons have gone rouge, nor have any Dragons suddenly mysteriously disappeared without a trace. 

Even though Cain and Kali had somehow vanished from all eyes, it is known that their Royal grandmother is closely monitoring them.

But even with this, the burning curiosity know exactly what Cain and Kali were up to wasn't small. 

Those two are officially known as the wastes of their Imperial Family. It's simply fact that they can't cultivate at all. 

Because of this, it boggles both Huang Dai and Xun's minds that they're getting tutelage personally by their unfathomable Ancient grandmother. 

And now it appears as their Royal Parents similarly couldn't suppress their curiosity about this situation anymore. 

Huang Xun slowly removed her gaze from the black sword and settled it upon Huang Dai.

Her beautiful face seemed to have a nearly complete indifferent expression. But her slender eyebrows tightly knitted together as if she had grave matters running through her mind. 

She simply said, "So it is finally time… That's good…" 

Witnessing this expression upon her instantly got Huang Dai to focus up. 

Anything that could make Huang Xun, someone who is rather infamous for staying calm no matter how outrageous the situation was, slightly worried was immensely concerning.

Huang Dai flashed through all situations that could possibly ever cause such ripples within her mental state. And almost instantly, his mind recalled the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands. 

In his eyes, the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands were a troublesome enemy but also ones none of them could afford to ignore. No matter his haughty pride, he and many others had to acknowledge their massive strength.

Thinking of this, Huang Dai's brows started to similarly knit together, his expression quickly turning darker. 

"Just what's wrong this time? Don't tell me you specifically got even worse batches of news?"
