Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 3: Mission

The holy path is the path to the five Spiritual Academies.

Although the five Spiritual Academies were not a ruling faction, they were the strongest faction in the thousand island region where the Holy Light continent was located.

And of course, it is also the best cultivation ground in the entire region.

All the young talents in the thousand islands region set a goal of joining one of the five Spiritual Academies. Apart from increasing their own strength, the five Spiritual Academies were also a path for them to enter the Miracle Hundred World.

"There's no need for you to worry about that problem." Replied Alu. He didn't seem to care what his father said.

"Tell me what is your purpose for calling me here. I'm sure you didn't just want to say that, did you?" Alu then asked.

If it weren't for his father who called him, Alu would be too lazy to meet this man.

Although Alu almost no longer regrets what happened in the past, he still hates his father for causing it.

"Hey, you have to learn to change your attitude. You are fine behaving like that in this kingdom. But outside, you must learn to be more humble. No matter how talented you are, there will always be someone who can kill you out there."

"Well, I'm sure you understand that already. Well, the reason I called you here is because I wanted to give you a mission, and there's something I want to give you too." Said Zaden.

Alu just stared at his father, waiting for him to explain.

"It's been a year since we targeted Blue Spiritual Kingdom, but until now, we still haven't been able to take an inch off their land. The reason for that is because that kingdom has the support of the Great Sacred Wind Kingdom."

"The Crown Prince of the Holy Wind Kingdom is engaged to the Blue Spiritual Kingdom Princess and they seem to love each other too, which makes the relationship between the two kingdoms even closer."

"The foundations of the Sacred Wind Kingdom are even stronger than ours. Even though I am not afraid of them, I also can't do anything if they want to protect Blue Spiritual Kingdom. Because of that, I chose to make another plan to get them to back off." Zaden paused for a moment before continuing.

"In one week from now, the younger generations of the two kingdoms will be having a hunting party in the valley of the beasts on the border of their kingdom. I want you to infiltrate there, and capture the Crown Prince of the Holy Wind Kingdom and the Blue Spiritual Kingdom's Princess." Zaden said.

There was no reaction on Alu's face after he heard his father's words. He seemed to be used to such a mission.

But Alu responded by extending his hand towards his father.

"You have to pay first." Said Alu.

From the start, Alu never cared about the Kingdom of the Phoenix. To him, this was just a small place he would soon leave. If nothing else happened, he didn't even plan to return. Of course, Alu had no intention of making any contributions without pay.

"Humph." Zaden looked displeased at Alu's actions, but he still took out something from his storage ring.

It was a scroll containing notes.

"This is information you really want, I'm sure that's enough." He said while throwing the scroll.

Alu's eyes immediately glowed brightly as he received the scroll. Ignoring his father, he immediately opened the scroll.

It was of course news about the Dragon Princess.

Even though Alu knew their relationship was completely over, he still wanted to know what had happened to the Dragon Princess ever since she left the kingdom.

According to the information he knew, the Dragon Princess was now living with her grandfather at the Full Moon Temple.

Alu excitedly read the notes on the scroll after he opened them. There are two lines of notes on the scroll. He read the first.

(The grandson of the lord of the Full Moon Temple has fallen in love with the Dragon Princess. Even though the Dragon Princess didn't like him, the constant pursuit by the grandson of the lord of the Full Moon Temple made the Dragon Princess finally pose a challenge to the grandson of the ruler of the Full Moon Temple. Dragon Princess challenges him to a fight and if he wins, Dragon Princess will marry him.)

Alu's expression immediately turned ugly the moment he read that. His cold eyes immediately filled with murderous intent. Black flames slightly flared up from his body and nearly burned the scroll in his hand.

(Today is the day of that battle. The battle is witnessed by all the disciples and elders of the Full Moon Temple. People had originally thought that Dragon Princess would lose because she had never shown her strength in public all this time. But surprisingly, the grandson of the lord of the Full Moon Temple actually couldn't withstand a single Dragon Princess attack. He was immediately seriously injured and had to be treated for just because he took one hit from the Dragon Princess.)

Alu's expression finally calmed down a little as he read that last line.

"Hehehe." Zaden then chuckled.

"Even though her dragon soul was injured, she still seems to be growing well, and her talent is no less than yours. Sigh, if she grows strong in the future, I don't know what she will do to me." Said Zaden with a playful smile.

Even though he didn't seem worried, Alu knew that his father was really worried. But Alu doesn't care.

"That's your own business." Replied Alu.

Even if his father was eaten alive by Elizabeth, Alu would only watch it from the side without even batting an eye.

Rather than thinking about his father, Alu was more worried about himself.

ALU didn't know what Dragon Princess thought of him, but if Dragon Princess really made him as her enemy too, Alu knew he would be in a very difficult situation.

ALU can ignore a genius like the Holy Light clan young master, but he can't ignore the Dragon Princess.

Her eyes that turned blood red eight years ago still make ALU feel uncomfortable even now.

Also, ALU believes he can kill anyone, but ALU doubts he can do that to the Dragon Princess.

....

"Then, what something do you want to give?" Alu then asked as he remembered his father's last words.

"Yeah." Zaden didn't say much and he once again took something out of his storage ring.

It is a box that looks normal, and ALU can't feel any spiritual aura from it.

"This is something your mother left behind." Said Zaden as he threw the box.

Alu's eyes immediately opened wide when he heard what his father said. His mother?

Alu didn't know much about his mother because Zaden hardly ever talked about her. The only thing Alu knew was the fact that his mother had left right after giving birth to him.

"Don't ask what it is because I don't know what it is either. But according to what she said, you can only open the box if you can break through the limits to the True Spiritual cultivation stage. In other words, your spiritual source must reach three thousand at the True Spiritual stage." Zaden said, taking Alu by surprise.

Spiritual Source reaching three thousand at the True Spiritual stage?

There are four stages of cultivation that are widely recognized in the Holy Light continent.

The Spiritual Warrior Stage which is divided into nine layers.

The True Spiritual Stage which is divided into three layers.

The Life and Death Stage which also divides into three layers.

And the Nirvana stage which is divided into nine layers.

From the first to the sixth layer Nirvana is called Lord Nirvana, and only those who reach the seventh layer and above can call themselves Kings of Nirvana. Of course, there are still higher stages. But unfortunately no one can reach that stage in the Holy Light continent.

On average, the True Spiritual stage third layer only had around eight hundred Spiritual sources while the Life and Death stage first layer normally had three thousand spiritual sources. In other words, the highest spiritual source a person at the true spiritual stage could attain was two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Although the peak of talent, with extraordinary resources and luck could reach that highest limit, it was unknown if anyone could break through that limit.

Of course, that is also not impossible. In fact, when he was at the peak of the Spiritual Warrior stage before he broke through to the True Spiritual stage, Alu had already broken through that limit.

However, in order to achieve that, his father had spent a lot of precious treasures enlisting the help of three powerful experts to help Alu refine a very valuable cultivation resource, which was basically impossible for people at the Spiritual Warrior stage to refine.

ALU is quite confident that he can reach the highest limit of the True Spiritual stage, but to break through that limit, ALU has absolutely no confidence.

Even though it only increased one spiritual source, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"This time I can't help you anymore. You can only rely on yourself. However, if the Holy Light clan's young master's bloodline is as powerful as people say, you might be able to break through that limit by refine it."

"But, he-he-he, I doubt you can kill him with cultivation at the True Spiritual stage while he is already at the Life and Death stage." Zaden chuckled.

Alu fell silent because he knew it must be very difficult.

After a while.

"I will definitely kill him." Alu then spoke before he turned to leave holding the scroll of information and the mysterious box his mother left behind.
