Dark Phoenix Prince

Bam...

Roux and Reva fell to the floor covered in burns while their skin turned black like charcoal.

Although the wounds on their body could not be considered life-threatening, and could heal quickly as long as they were given proper medicine, the mental beating they had received was much heavier.

With their attitude, they must have felt very insulted by their current state. Especially for Reva who was once a princess of a kingdom. She definitely didn't expect that there would be a day when she would be mercilessly beaten by a man while her body was burned to charcoal.

But sadly there was nothing they could do to retaliate.

Alu no longer looked at the two of them. He stared at his father who was stunned.

Alu's mouth sneered slightly when he looked at his father.

"Tell them to come to the spiritual ship station after healing their wounds. I am leaving today." Alu said before he left the training ground.

Since Alu didn't want to represent the the Phoenix Kingdom, he could only go alone so that he wouldn't be considered part of the Phoenix Kingdom.

Luckily the Phoenix Kingdom was also a Great Kingdom, so there was still transportation traveling to Sleeping Dragon City.

However, because the distance between the Phoenix Kingdom and the Sleeping Dragon City was quite far apart, and there were not many people going to Sleeping Dragon City either, the scheduled departure was usually only done once in three days.

Those wishing to leave had to queue in advance to wait for full passengers.

Today is one of the days of departure.

"Wait." A stunned Zaden suddenly spoke out to stop Alu when Alu was at the entrance.

Alu who heard his father's words just turned around without speaking. Alu was a little surprised when he saw a scroll suddenly appear in Zaden's hand.

"He-he-he, this is new information that you really want." Zaden chuckled before he threw the scroll in his hand at Alu.

When Alu received the scroll, he immediately opened it in that place. ALU can guess what information Zaden is referring to.

Several lines of words immediately entered Alu's eyes as he unrolled.

(The Dragon Princess has broken through to the Life and Death stage. And after that, she went straight to Sleeping Dragon City by herself. Her strength is unknown.)

Alu immediately narrowed his eyes as he read the information.

"Looks like you will meet another strong enemy. Even though there is no information about her strength, as the possessor of a Dragon soul, she must be very strong. At the very least, that Holy Light clan young master will definitely not be a match for her." Zaden said.

Zaden's words didn't make Alu react. ALU naturally knows that. ALU doesn't know how much spiritual source Elizabeth was before she broke through to the Life and Death stage. But even if she didn't cross the limits of the True Spiritual stage, reaching the limit shouldn't be a problem.

Considering that the Full Moon Temple was a second tier faction, the cultivation resources Elizabeth got from that place was definitely better.

After reading the information on the scroll, Alu rolled it back up before leaving the place.

The problem with Elizabeth, Alu himself doesn't know how to react until now. ALU also doesn't know what Elizabeth's mind is like, but considering what happened eight years ago, it wouldn't be surprising if Elizabeth was hostile towards him.

...

After leaving the royal palace, Alu went straight to the spiritual ship station.

Alu bought three tickets to go to Sleeping Dragon City, and he also stayed at the station to wait for departure time.

There were about six hours left before departure time, and that should be enough for Roux and Reva to heal their wounds with Zaden's help.

"Wisss.."

When Alu sat alone in a certain chair, a sudden whistling sound could be heard behind him.

ALU wouldn't care if it was just a normal whistling sound considering the many people passing by around him.

But Alu turned around because he recognized that the voice actually came from Old Joz.

"He-he-he…" Old Joz chuckled as he looked at Alu.

"A prince of high status is sitting here alone without anyone knowing him, this is truly something rare." Said Old Joz with a playful smile.

"Is there something?" Asked Alu without a change in expression.

"Well, you know. The last time your mother came here, she had asked this old man to take care of you while you were still on this continent. Since you wanted to go far, this old man naturally had to follow you. After all, if there is an accident that happens to you, your mother will probably come to this old man." Replied Old Joz.

Even after hearing Old Joz's words, Alu's expression didn't change much. With all the stories Alu heard from Old Joz, it wouldn't be too surprising if his mother asked Old Joz to look after him.

Alu would be even more surprised if his mother really didn't do anything. If that was the case, wasn't that the same as his mother really didn't care about him.

Even though Alu didn't really care, there was no one who would not feel unhappy about being ignored by one's own parents.

However, with stories about his mother all this time, Alu knew his mother would not be someone like that. According to Alu's estimate, there must be something that keeps his mother from coming again.

"But, he-he-he, I will only protect you from dangers that you cannot possibly overcome. I will not interfere with your other matters." Old Joz added.

After saying that, Old Joz then sat down beside Alu.

Alu was silent after he heard what Old Joz said. But if Old Joz was willing to offer help, Alu would have immediately asked Old Joz to catch the young master of the Holy Light clan.

Alu is always open minded. If there was an easier way, Alu wouldn't bother going through the winding roads.

"By the way." Old Joz began to speak.

"Have you ever heard of the blessings of the holy path?" Asked Old Joz.

"Hmm." Alu frowned at Old Joz's words.

"What is that?" Asked Alu.

There are many legends about the holy path, but ALU has never heard of such things as blessings.

"He-he-he, it's only natural that you haven't heard of it. After all, no one has ever received the blessing of the holy path in the thousand islands region. This kind of thing was known only to strong experts. But you must already know that the holy path has an assessment of the people who enter it." Replied Old Joz.

Alu nodded.

ALU had heard that when people who entered the holy path fought, the result of their fight would be recorded on the holy path tablet. The holy path tablet is said to be continuously floating above the holy path so that it can be seen by all who enter it.

And those whose names were recorded on the holy path tablets would normally receive certain treasures as gifts.

"Now then, actually the highest reward of the holy path is obtaining blessings. It is not known where the blessings come from, but anyone who can get blessings from the holy path will undergo a drastic transformation in terms of cultivation talent."

"Even though the holy path you will enter is only the tiniest holy path, people say, those who get blessings from that place have a high possibility of reaching the Heavenly Nirvana stage."

"Well, that's just a possibility. But even if one doesn't reach the Heavenly Nirvana stage, one might still be able to attain high-level Earthly Nirvana."

"Oh, I guess I forgot to say before, but Earthly Nirvana is also divided into nine layers. The top three layers are called high-level Earthly Nirvana."

"Even though they can't be compared to a Heavenly Nirvana, they are still very strong." Old Joz explained, leaving Alu stunned for a moment.

"Of course it's not easy to get that blessing. Just being the strongest is far from enough. You also have to go through the many challenges of the holy path to get its recognition." Old Joz added.

"Well, if you have the ability, you will find out for yourself later."

After that, Old Joz started explaining many things to Alu.

From cultivation to the structure of the World that Alu was in right now.

Now that Alu knows that the so-called Holy Light continent, can't actually be considered a continent. It can only be considered an island.

What could be called a continent, even the smallest one was almost as wide as the entire thousand islands region.

Even the largest continent in the thousand island region where the five Spiritual Academies were located would only be considered an island.

Only the people from the region of a thousand islands considered their islands to be continents.

...

Several hours later, Roux and Reva, whom Alu was waiting for, finally arrived at the spiritual ship station.

Even though the two of them already looked fine, when they looked at Alu, their eyes filled with fear. Obviously Alu's previous punch had also given them a mental hit.

But in front of Alu, they could only salute. The two of them also paid their respects to Old Joz. They guessed Old Joz might be the Phoenix clan elder who would guard them.

"Okay, there's only a moment left before we go. Let's go up first." Said Alu to both of them and Old Joz.

After Alu's words, the four people then walked towards the enormous spiritual ship not far from them.

There were many people around them who had also boarded the spiritual ship. But no one can recognize them.

Although Roux and Reva are not like Alu who hardly ever show his face, in the Phoenix Kingdom, hardly anyone knows who they are.

Apart from being strong, the other reason Zaden chose them to accompany Alu was naturally because of their unknown identities.
