Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 19: Return to The Palace

After leaving Old Joz's bar, Alu headed straight for the royal palace.

This time Alu intends to ask for a reward for the success of his mission.

Conquering an Kingdom, even if it was just an ordinary kingdom, the loot was still inconceivable.

Every kingdom must store a lot of cultivation resources in their storehouse.

Perhaps only a few of these resources were of use to a Nirvana stage expert, but for a weak cultivator like Alu, the resources could help increase his strength drastically.

"Remember bro, you have to collect objects that contain light energy." Charlie said from inside the egg as Alu was on his way to the palace.

After several communications, Charlie started calling Alu bro.

"Don't worry, this continent's ruling clan specializes in the power of light. Things related to light can be found easily on this continent." Replied Alu.

The Primordial God Body Technique that Charlie gave him was a technique that required the power of light to forge a body.

That might sound difficult to understand given the nature of light.

But according to the Primordial God Body's technique, when light was condensed in such a large amount, it could create the most powerful thing that even the sharpest blade could not scratch.

The essence of the Primordial God Body's first stage called Soaring Body was to absorb light into the body before condensing it into the flesh.

If not because Alu had personally seen the technique, Alu would not have believed that something like that could be done.

After all, due to the subtle nature of light, users of the power of light usually have weak bodies.

If they took an attack, they would use their speed to dodge the attack. And if they couldn't dodge, they would usually use the subtle nature of light to scatter their bodies so they couldn't be touched.

There is no history the power of light can become hard as a rock.

Maybe only the God clan could do such a thing.

"It is only the first stage. The second stage is much more powerful. It is also divided into three layers, and the third layer has the power equivalent to the Worldly Nirvana stage." Charlie said, making Alu's eyes shine.

After learning the Primordial God Body technique, Alu, who knew how powerful it was, had decided he would continue to cultivate it to strengthen his body. ALU certainly doesn't want to stop at the first stage.

"Are you going to give the second stage?" Asked Alu.

"It depends on how much help you can give us. Remember, we are mutually beneficial allies." Charlie answered.

"Humph, do you know, not even all members of the divine clan have the right to learn Primordial God Body techniques. You have to realize who you are, kid." Elly whined.

...

Not long after, Alu arrived in front of the palace.

Upon arriving at the palace entrance, Alu paused for a moment as he sensed several powerful auras from the palace main hall.

"Looks like they have completed their conquest." Said Alu.

Knowing that there were many experts gathered within the palace, Alu, who didn't really like meeting people, chose to take a detour to the back of the palace.

As a Prince, Alu's actions to avoid the nobles could be said to be a bit impolite. Normally, Royal Princes would always try to make a good impression on the high ranking nobles of their kingdom.

It was done so that when they inherit the kingdom in the future, they can get support from them.

However, for Alu who didn't care about the Phoenix kingdom, he was able to ignore their existence without any worries.

...

Alu waited for about an hour behind the palace before his father came. Zaden had clearly felt Alu's presence ever since Alu entered the palace.

Since Alu could be said not to live in the palace, if he came to the palace, it meant he had something to do.

Of course, Zaden knew the purpose of Alu's arrival.

"Well, well, the mission this time is going very well. And you also seem to have found an unexpected advantage. Now you can say what you want. I can help you exchange your gift for something you need." Said Zaden when he came.

Alu immediately turned towards Zaden.

At the sight of his own father, Alu's mouth curled up slightly as he recalled Zaden's sad past.

But just because of Zaden's sad past, it didn't mean that Alu would feel sorry for him.

There are many contradictions in life. Everyone may act for reasons that require them, but that alone cannot change people's view of what they do.

Loss and gain are two separate things.

Zaden could naturally feel Alu's gaze towards him a little strange. But he didn't know what had caused it.

"Apart from something that can help my spiritual source break through to the fourth stage, I currently need objects that contain light energy." Replied Alu.

Alu didn't give Zaden a chance to ask why he was looking at him with strange eyes.

"Light."

When Zaden heard Alu's answer, he couldn't help but be so surprised that he forgot Alu's strange look.

Zaden wasn't surprised by Alu's first request, but the second?

"What do you want with light. Do you want to study the power of light. The power of light is almost the same as fire. Even though light is very fast, its attack power is not as strong as the power of fire." Zaden asked in surprise.

Zaden initially thought that Alu would ask for resources that could increase his spiritual source.

With Alu's talent, as long as he had enough cultivation resources, he would definitely be able to reach the limit of True Spiritual stage spiritual source.

This time, Zaden even planned to give Alu additional resources so he could reach that limit.

"You don't need to ask too many questions. Even if I said it, I'm sure you wouldn't understand either." Alu replied, without giving his father an explanation.

"Okay!"

Seeing Alu looking decisive, Zaden stopped asking questions.

Zaden firmly believes in his son's intelligence.

Since Alu wanted that, it must be something that could benefit him.

"You can wait two or three days. I'll send people to buy the resources you need." Said Zaden.

"Is there anything else you need?"

"Mm, I heard that under the Dragon Kingdom palace there is a good place for physical training. Is that place still functioning properly?" Alu asked.

Since the Dragon clan placed great importance on their physical strength, they naturally had a special place for physical training.

In the past, Alu had heard that the Dragon clan's physical training ground was one of the best on the continent.

They have been developing the place since their oldest ancestor. That place had even received a lot of treatment from spirit masters.

"A place to train physically." Zaden was surprised once again.

But this time Zaden was a little smarter. He didn't try to ask again. Instead, he immediately answered Alu's question.

"That place should still be fine. It's just that it's never been used again. But if you want to use it, I can give you the key to get in there." Zaden replied.

"Good, then I'll be going now. If you've gathered what I asked for, you can send it over there."

Even though Alu had not been able to form a body known as the Soaring Body before he had the required resources, Alu wanted to first familiarize himself while comprehend the technique.
