The Chaos Dragon Prince-Chapter 8 - World Saint Force

Without either Cain, Kali, or Qiu Lan realizing it, several hours already flashed by in a mere snap. Genuinely, the three did become particularly engrossed in their little conversations.

Cain especially felt it was refreshing to do.

In his previous homeworld, he would barely chat so openly with other people. It wasn't because he was anti-social or even disliked talking to others, but rather he just couldn't connect with anyone over there.

Even as there are people who held a similar interest with him and are admittedly intriguing to talk with, there was always a sense of disconnect.

Cain honestly just didn't find most interaction on his Earth worth it.

The only person who was an exception to this rule was his sweet little sister. She was the only ray of light in his life before a terribly unfortunate accident happened to her.

With all these thoughts hidden deep within Cain's mind, it was no wonder he instantly connected with the people of the cultivation world.

In all honesty, the only reason they had to stop their talks was because Qiu Lan had a unique ring informing her that her Sect Master was ready to leave.

When she got that message, Cain and Kali were taking the moment to personally see her off.

"Ah, time sure does fly by. Hopefully, you'll be coming around more often, right?"

Kali started off their send-off first. She, like Cain, rather enjoyed her time with Qiu Lan and was honestly looking forward to having more chats sometime in the future.

"Indeed it was."

Qiu Lan nodded with her same, small calming smile. She had then directed her gaze on Cain, saying to him, "And I'm most certainly looking forward to teaching you more about World Saint Force. Cain. Generally, our generation won't have an interest in it if they're not gifted with it. So it's nice to discuss it with another person sometimes."

Cain's eyes specifically brighten up at this point. From their enjoyable chat, he had also learned more about their particular unique cultivation universe.

Based on what he read in his previous world, Cain came to the conclusion that universes like these simply had no use for advanced technology because of their outrageous powers.

Furthermore, cultivators tend to vehemently devote themselves to reaching the top of their world rather than engaging with mundane activities.

But apparently, for this universe he ended up in, there's actually a lot of advancement in entertainment and technology.

Even more shocking is the fact that these God Realms cultivators actually hold a considerable value in these more mundane aspects of life. Many cultivators find this as another way to either wind down their minds or perhaps even reach enlightenment in their cultivation. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Cain wasn't quite sure of the logic on that, but both Kali and Qiu Lan confirm that some of the most powerful people in the universe reached enlightenment through technological entertainment.

How cultivators were even able to come to this point is because of the mysterious power only known as the World Spirit Force.

From the brief snippets Cain got from their talk, he compared World Spirit Force as another System of power governing their universe.

The wielders of the World Spirit Force are equal to any cultivators and, sometimes, far more valuable than a powerful cultivating expert.

And one of the abilities World Spirit Force has is creating and powering electronic devices that are essentially this universe's version of TVs, computers, or other appliances.

Cain didn't want to focus too heavily on the World Spirit Force since this was the time to get to know Qiu Lan better.

But he did note this as a vital subject to learn about later as only select special people can use World Spirit Force.

Afterward, they all engaged in a discussion about a genre style of movie Cain found similar to old samurai movies in his world. Although it was only on the surface that they seemed similar.

From Qiu Lan's description of it, any movies or shows people create here are far more over the top and engaging. Qiu Lan had even admitted she learned a few things about her own cultivation from these movies.

And because Qiu Lan had a great interest in this, Cain decided it was best to revolve their topics around these genres of movies.

Moreover, Cain felt genuine curiosity on seeing just how spectacular cultivators movies are.

Looking back on their whole conversation, Cain could see it would be a good idea to stay in touch with Qiu Lan. Not only is she intriguing to talk with, but she also has a wide array of knowledge he can learn from her.

With a slight smile of his own, Cain nodded towards Qiu Lan and said, "I'm certainly looking forward to hearing more from you. Even if I can't use it, it's still good to know as much as I can about it."

"Ah. A good mindset to have. I will be seeing you then." For the briefest of seconds, Qiu Lan had cracked a small, genuine smile. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Before today, she could honestly admit she didn't have many thoughts about either Cain or Kali. This was mainly due to the fact she barely had the time to get to know them.

But after today, she realized this sibling duo is quite the good conversationalist. She for sure could see a potential stable friendship blooming between them.

With more favorable thoughts swirling within her mind, Qiu Lan gave one last nod before leaving the meeting hall to find her Sect Master.

Left all alone with each other, Kali turned over to Cain while crossing her arms.

She still had her same soft smile and began to say, "Ah, an intriguing girl am I, right? Honestly, since this engagement was first brought up, I had a feeling she would choose this route. It's only a shame that in the upcoming months, we won't be seeing her at all."

"We won't be seeing….oh?"

Cain was only confused for a single moment before his mind almost instantly connected the dots. Before they were interrupted in his room, Kali was just about to mention a plan of theirs.

And he felt his curiosity rise as this plan already seemed far more complicated than he thought.

"So this is the plan we had brewing. Should we just go and discuss it right now? I'm guessing we really don't have any work to do."

Like it didn't weigh at all on her mind, Kali casually said, "You got that right. Unless Mother, Father, Grandfather, or the Emperor wants us, we're free to do anything we want, really. The only thing that we're kind of required to do is read up on historical books to expand our knowledge. But Mother is usually too busy to check in on us."

It was at this moment Cain found at least one good aspect about low cultivation aptitude. Although, it seems like he wouldn't be able to enjoy any free time in the near future.

But Cain didn't mind at all. He much rather work to become a free reign expert than laze around like some useless prince.

"I see. Well then, let's head straight back to my room. It's time to truly form our plans." Cain said with an anticipating smile that was shared with Kali.

Quickly then, the sibling duo rushed back to Cain's room.

….

"Ok first thing first, Cain, summon the emerald and ancient book. These two will be crucial for our plans."

Upon entering Cain's room, Kali immediately got serious. She went and sat on the edge of Cain's bed, waiting with an expectant expression.

Cain followed in her footsteps, sitting on the edge of his bed, and promptly followed her instructions.

With everything he has seen so far from her, Cain could tell his dear older sister actually has quite a sharp and calculating mind. Just from how she interacted with their other siblings and Qiu Lan, Kali had always talked with a purpose, wasting no extra breath.

In just a couple of seconds, Cain surged his soul energy and swiftly brought out the green emerald and the ancient book.

Cradling the lustrous emerald in his palm, Cain had then asked, "So, what's next?"

"Alright, like I was getting to before we were interrupted, before you were passed out for three days, we had actually discovered some amazing abilities that this emerald can perform. This will not only help us with cultivation but also allow us to travel wherever we want. One of these amazing abilities is being able to instantly teleport anywhere. With that emerald, we can teleport to any highly protected, off-limit areas."

Cain was taken by shock for a moment.

Does his emerald really have the ability to do that?

Back on Earth, all the ancient book told him was that this emerald was needed to empower the ritual to get transmigrated.

And it was then that it hit Cain all at once.

Of course, it can achieve this; that emerald quite literally transported him across dimensions!

Seeing Cain's increasingly surprised reaction, Kali suddenly tapped her forehead as she just remembered something crucial.

"Oh right! Just reread that old-looking book. It was telling you all about how to use that emerald to its maximum ability. And something about some power called the….uhmm….Chaotic Force? If I remember correctly." Kali explained with a slight pondering look.

Doing as she said, Cain eagerly opened the ancient book and already felt a difference with it. Previously, there was only a single page filling the book, but now he felt the flaps of multiple pages.

Cain decided to focus on the first page first and read over the differences here. He did a brief scan over the page for a few seconds before having to stop.

There were already numerous new subjects within the book, but one specific topic stuck out the most to Cain.

The book explained that his soul's core and soul energy was and always is connected to a mythical power known only as the Chaotic Force.

And because of his direct link with the Chaotic Force, he could manipulate the Chaos Energy inside the Chaotic Emerald to perform a myriad of heaven-defying abilities.

Furthermore, as his soul energy grows stronger, he would be able to harness Chaos Energy himself without any need for the emerald.

Although, the book explicitly stated harnessing Chaos Energy on his own is only to improve his level of control. Using the emerald would always be superior.

Reading all of this, a plethora of questions swirled within Cain's mind.

Just how did his soul manage to form a link with this mythical power? How did his previous body have that exact same connection? And just what exactly are the Chaotic Force and this old ancient book?

These were all questions Cain assumed he wouldn't know for quite some time. This ancient book simply launched into explanations for using the Chaotic Force rather than explaining its background.

Still, there was one question Cain had that he knows can get answered now. Taking his eyes up from the book, he matched his gaze with Kali, who was sitting patiently.

Appreciating just how patient Kali is, Cain had then asked, "So, while I may have no cultivation, I do have developing soul powers, right? I'm assuming I already performed some sort of feat with this emerald, right?"

Kali smiled and nodded. "Before today, at most, you were only able to cause that emerald to light up in a slight green glow. But it was more than enough to convince us since you could actually use soul energy despite having zero cultivation. And if you're wondering about others finding out, you don't have to be. For some reason, nobody can tell that your soul energy is growing or that you're even using it."

"I see….let me read more of this book. I feel it all coming back to me." Cain said while turning his eyes back down to the book.

And what he said wasn't just false bravado to quell his sister's worries.

For some inexplicable reason, the more Cain read into this old book, the more he felt like this was all too natural.. It genuinely felt like he was rereading a nostalgic book that's been with him his whole life.
