2 Phoenix Prince
Since the entire population of Dragon City had been wiped out, no one knew exactly what had happened. The only thing they knew was the rebellion of the phoenix clan personally carried out by the leader of the phoenix clan.
It surprised many people. They were even more shocked when they found out that the leader of the phoenix clan had reached the Nirvana King stage.
King of Nirvana! In the entire continent of Holy Light, they could be considered supreme experts.
The kingdom led by a Nirvana King was even called as the Great Kingdom.
....
The Great Phoenix Kingdom was established after the collapse of the Dragon Kingdom.
Even though the leader of the phoenix clan, Zaden, had only just broken through to the King of Nirvana stage, there were still quite a number of experts around the kingdom who had finally chosen to join the Phoenix kingdom.
With the royal power getting stronger, the kingdom also began to invade the small kingdoms around it.
And eight years after the Great Phoenix Kingdom was founded, the phoenix kingdom's territory had already grown to ten times wider after conquering more than five kingdoms that were equivalent to the dragon kingdom.
Even in the entire Holy Light continent, the Phoenix Kingdom had begun to be considered as one of the top powers.
....
Phoenix City.
Even though it had taken over the Dragon kingdom, the Phoenix kingdom had not made the former capital of the dragon kingdom the capital of their kingdom. Instead, it kept using their old city.
Of course, with the development of the phoenix kingdom, the current capital of the phoenix kingdom was much more expansive and majestic than the capital of the dragon kingdom.
The royal palace which can be seen from all corners of the city stands majestically in the middle of the city.
Not far from the palace, there was a statue of a Phoenix bird that was even bigger than the palace itself. It also emitted a majestic aura that made people feel like worshiping it.
The Phoenix bird statue was definitely no ordinary statue. In constructing the statue, Zaden, who is now known as the King of the Phoenix, even invited a spirit master who was an expert in spirit power to form a spirit formation that turned the area around the statue into an area with an extremely abundant and pure flow of spiritual energy.
....
Apart from being a symbol of the phoenix kingdom, the Phoenix bird statue was also the best place to cultivate in the entire Great Phoenix Kingdom.
Since the statue was made, it has been used as the location of the Phoenix Academy which is the gathering place for talented people in the phoenix kingdom. Those who cultivate in the phoenix academy are young men and women who will later become protective warriors of the phoenix kingdom.
....
Right above the head of the phoenix statue sat a young man who looked fifteen years old.
The young man had pale white skin, dark black hair, and even though the youth's eyes were closed, people who saw his eyes could still see coldness and indifference from the youth's eyes.
Black flames swirled around the youth while spiritual energy that seemed boundless flowed into his body.
Boom...
When that young man opened his eyes, black aura along with thousands of spiritual sources instantly surged from his body.
The people below who sensed the youth's aura immediately turned their gazes towards him. They looked surprised when they saw the number of spiritual resources of the young man.
"Jeez, Prince Alu's spiritual source has actually reached two thousand five hundred."
"I had a thousand and one hundred spiritual sources when I was in the third layer of the True Spiritual stage. I thought my spiritual source was already very high. Who would have thought mine was actually so low when compared to Prince Alu."
The people exclaimed in a tone of admiration.
The stage of cultivation could determine a person's strength, but what was more important than that was the amount of one's spiritual source. The higher a person's spiritual source, the stronger that person's strength.
Normally, the True Spiritual stage third layer only had about eight hundred spiritual sources. But Alu whose cultivation was also at the third layer of the True Spiritual stage actually had three times as much spiritual source.
It almost reached the number of spiritual sources belonging to the Life and Death stage people.
Don't underestimate those three times. With each increase in one's spiritual source it will strengthen one's entire spiritual source. Three times as much spiritual source doesn't mean a person's strength is only three stronger. In reality, it was tens of times stronger.
With two thousand five hundred spiritual sources, Alu can basically sweep away everyone at the same stage with just one snap of a finger.
"Apart from that, look at the green stripes on prince Alu's spiritual source. Prince Alu's spiritual source has actually almost reached the fourth stage."
People once again exclaimed with shocked expressions.
It is not only the cultivation stage that is divided into several stages. Even a spiritual source too.
The first stage is white, then yellow, then orange, then green.
Normally, only people in the Life and Death stage had spiritual source at the third stage. But Alu who is still at the True Spiritual stage, his spiritual source has actually almost reached the fourth stage which is usually only possessed by those who reach the Nirvana stage.
The higher the stage of one's spiritual source, the stronger that spiritual source is.
According to legend, when a spiritual source reaches its peak, only one spiritual source is said to be able to destroy a mountain.
....
After Alu opened his eyes, he quickly drew back the aura that had just surged from his body. Alu stood up from his place and without paying attention to the people below, Alu immediately flew towards the palace which was not far from the Phoenix statue.
The tragedy of eight years ago, coupled with the education of his father, who was a traitor, the character of Alu can be imagined.
He was indifferent, cold, and most importantly, he could do anything to increase his strength.
Even though the figure of Princess Elizabeth always appeared in his mind, it still couldn't change his nature.
Even now Alu is starting to stop regretting the tragedy of eight years ago. He now began to understand, without strength, a person is destined to be abandoned.
....
Alu went to the place where his father was.
In a dark room lit only by candlelight, Alu saw his father facing the wall with his hands behind his back. When Alu arrived, his father turned to look at him.
"Oh, your strength has increased again. That's good. Among the True Spiritual stages, I believe you are the strongest in the entire Holy Light continent." Zaden showed a friendly smile when he saw his son. But Alu just looked at him with an indifferent expression.
"But don't be too complacent just yet. I heard that the Holy Light clan young master has already broken through to the Life and Death stage, and it is said that his energy source directly reaches five thousand. It was the highest in the history of the Holy Light continent. With your current strength, you can only run if you meet him." Zaden continued.
"I don't care about him." Alu replied indifferently.
Being able to make the entire continent use their name, the Sacred Light clan was of course the strongest clan in the Holy Light continent. They are the rulers of the continent. Even though there were various kingdoms and sects on the continent, they all had to pay tribute annually to the Sacred Light clan.
There was actually no meaningful relationship between the phoenix kingdom and the holy light clan. But with Zaden's ambition, he would naturally make the clan his next target.
"Well, I know that you will soon leave that young master far behind. But he is still very useful to you. It is said that he has inherited an extremely powerful bloodline. Although I don't know what kind of bloodline it is, I'm sure it will be of great use to your phoenix soul if you can refine it." Said Zaden.
"You have to get it at the opening of the holy path one month later. It is your only chance." Zaden continued.
