Chapter 17 - Teleportation
"No….we don't really need a weapon from here. It would be much more fulfilling finding our own weapons than using even the weakest weapon here." Cain honestly didn't find any worth using a combat weapon here.
Even if this would be a highly logical decision to make their journey much more manageable, Cain believed a God Galaxy combat weapon would take away from their actual growth.
If he could just rely on some powerful weapon to do the majority of the work for him, then what would be the point of him adventuring out?
Moreover, Cain finds the aspect of taking on an adventure to discover his own legendary weapon just as exciting.
"Mnh! I'm in total agreement. Ah, we're just always on the same wavelength, brother."
Kali's had a smile full of eager battle intent as she spoke. She felt even more pumped at the aspect of fighting great battles on her than relying on some weapon.
Seeing how excited Kali is, Cain suddenly decided to ask, "By the way, just what did you choose for your cultivation manual? I chose the Lightning Draconic Arts. This will help with boosting my attack and speed at just the Nascent Formation realm."
"Oh? So you chose that one? I see…."
Kali nodded to herself, her eyes going into deep thought for a brief moment.
Before Cain could question that look, Kali perked right back up and continued to say, "As for me, I chose the Ice Draconic Arts. Mine is the exact opposite, focusing on my defense and slowing down my foe speed. I also picked up the Blissful Dragon Arts, but this is something for later. Now then, ready to go?"
'Blissful Dragon Arts?'
Before Cain responded, his mind subconsciously focused on this part. That cultivation manual sounds more intriguingly unique compared to the ones they chose.
Yet Kali glossed over it so fast, like it wasn't important at all.
Cain took particular notice of this since his dear sister would always patiently explain anything that would seem new or confusing.
But even as he expressed a slightly puzzled face at her, Kali just seemed to not notice it, keeping up her eager smile.
Cain almost felt like he should press on this subject. However, he really couldn't find it in himself to do so.
The total time he knows Kali would surmount to at least a day. And yet, Cain couldn't help but have this inexplicable trust within Kali. Perhaps it was because the more he stays in this body, the quicker he grows accustomed to their previous feelings and memories.
Although, even if that was the case, Cain genuinely felt a massive amount of trust despite barely knowing his new world sister at all.
In the end, Cain could only helplessly sigh in his mind and relent on this subject. He shifted his focus from less perplexing matter and let loose a smile full of anticipation on his own.
"I'm ready. Are you sure you have everything we need? Plus, just how are we going to travel to the Mortal Planet?" As he spoke, he handed over his folded Dragon robes towards Kali.
Kali took his clothes into one of the spatial rings she gathered and then said, "Yep, all of our Crystal Beads and talismans are in several spatial rings. As for how we will leave, follow me."
Kali then beckoned with her hand and promptly began to walk over to the teleportation disk aisle.
Cain follows right behind, and in a few moments, the sibling duo arrived at the 'Huang Imperial Palace' shelf. Upon this shelf were countless small gray color teleportation disks.
While taking one of this teleportation disk, Kali began to explain,
"This will be our ticket back home once our three-month time limit is up. We really don't have much time but…. I'm sure it's enough for us to get very far in the Mortal Realm of cultivation."
Scanning his eyes all over the teleportation disk, Cain found it looked incredibly similar to a compact disk in his previous world. The only difference was a bright red button in the middle of the disk where it would typically be empty.
'So with this, we will travel through basically space unhindered….' An influx of curiosity arises within Cain the longer he stared at the teleportation disk.
He had then asked, "Do you know how this thing would teleport us through realms?"
"Oh….hmmm….as far I know, these disks were made by a World Spirit Force master who's one of our leading Supreme Dragon Elder. And he was helped by another Supreme Dragon Elder who has near perfect mastery over the Laws of Space and Time. Just what was their specific process to create this disk? No idea at all. I'm just glad we have such easy access. Plus, these disks are specifically designed to transport us to a relatively secluded area so we can gain our bearings."
Kali explained to the best of her ability.
"I see." Cain gave a simple nod in understanding while believing that they can fully uncover this mystery in the future.
After taking the Huang's teleportation disk, Kali then led them to the Mortal Tier plant section.
As they walked over, another question popped into Cain's mind, and he asked then, "Oh, one more thing. I doubt it, but does our family have any important information on these Mortal Planets? Like their organizations, structure, or any of those sorts?"
"Ah, unfortunately, we don't have it readily available. I mean, if we asked an information gathering Elder, he could give us everything about any Mortal Planet within several days. But….knowing everything beforehand, where's the fun in that?"
When Kali proposed the question, she turned over to Cain to flash him a smile that actually looked quite charming from her. It perfectly encapsulated that slumbering Dragon Pride deep inside her.
Even if there was a far easier route for their journey, Kali found that all as entirely worthless. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
Besides, if they can't manage a Mortal Planet on their own, Kali didn't think they were fit to be young Dragon Gods!
And Cain could feel the exact same sentiment of pride swirling within himself. Not only would uncovering things on their own provide a more significant challenge, but Cain also found it an exciting adventure into new yet dangerous territory.
At this point, Cain was beginning to realize that he may just be a Dragon at heart, whether it was this body or his previous body.
With an equally broad smile forming on his lips, Cain had then said, "Right, right. Let's continue on."
Then, after a short moment, the sibling duo made it over to the teleportation disk section. Kali's eyes did a quick scan over the shelves before stopping on one teleportation disk.
This disk had a short note right by it, detailing, 'High Tier Mortal Planet: Heavens Sky Planet.'
"Ahhh, with this, our legend finally begins!"
Kali eagerly scooped up this teleportation disk and promptly pressed the bright red button in the center. Nothing immediately happened besides a vague gray glow beginning to wrap over the teleportation disk.
"Say, how long will this take?" Cain asked as he was expecting to be transferred within an instant.
"....Ah! Right!"
And it was at that moment that Kali's eager expression morphed into a sheepish smile.
"Ehhh….I forgot. Grandmother explained to me that these disks take either half an hour to an hour at most to work. Luckily, everyone will still be distracted by then. But, we still have to wait."
Instead of feeling annoyance, Cain immediately thought about how he had been teleported to this universe by the Chaotic Emerald.
"Hmmm….I don't think we have to wait at all. My Chaotic Emerald could speed up this process. Probably."
"Mn, alright. If you think so, then here." Kali immediately agreed as she was already convinced by the Chaotic Emerald powers.
Shrugging her shoulders, she handed off the teleportation disk to Cain while also grasping his arm.
With the disk in hand, Cain immediately summoned the Chaotic Emerald to his other hand. He then quickly seized Chaos Energy into his soul energy and directed the Chaos Energy towards the teleportation disk in his other hand.
Cain experienced zero problems guiding Chaos Energy into the teleportation disk, pouring an abundance into it in just a few moments.
And upon an overflow of Chaos Energy flowing into it, the slow gray glowing disk immediately lit up in a beautiful green Chaos glow. At the same time, the green Chaos glow covered Cain and Kali's bodies in an instant.
'Chi!'
Right then, a brightly mixed flash of green and gray covered the entirety of the treasury room! The luminous flash only lasted for a second before quickly dispersing.
And once everything was cleared up, Cain and Kali had disappeared.
….
Cain honestly didn't know what to feel when traveling through realms. At the very least, he expected to feel some sort of turbulent shift as if he was traveling in a high-speed sports car.
However, Cain only felt like he was getting pulled by a slow-moving escalator.
When the bright flash had occurred, his eyes instinctively shut tight. He did have a thought to fling his eyes back open to witness the teleportation process.
But, there was a strange, ominous feeling nestling within the pit of Cain's gut, practically telling him that wouldn't be a good idea.
Although, both Cain and Kali didn't have to wait long before the slow pulling sensation stopped.
After only several seconds, the pulling sensation vanished. And at that moment, Cain and Kali simultaneously flung their eyes back open. Their bodies felt precisely the same as before, but their minds began to pump in excitement at their current scenery.
As of now, Cain and Kali weren't in their luxurious family treasury. Instead, they were now in a dimly lit cave.
The walls here appeared slightly eroded from the passage of time, and several stalagmites were dripping with dirty colored water.
Comparing their previous location to now, it was like jumping from the tallest mountain back down to a sludge mud. And yet, the widest of grins were etching across both Cain and Kali's faces.
"Success, a complete success! We're in the Heaven Sky Planet!" Kali was utterly ecstatic.
The air quality was far less pure, almost bordering on near foul, and the energy permeating the air was despairingly weak.
But none of this could curb either Cain or Kali's excitement.
Cain nearly felt like he was back in his previous world because of the ordinary design of this cave. But, despite it being a far lesser quality than God Galaxies, the air on this planet was fresher than his previous homeworld.
Forcing past his initial excitement, Cain soon calmed his mind, turned over to Kali, and asked, "Ok.. So now that we're here, what do you think our next move should be? I have several plans in mind if you don't have one, though I think our thoughts will line up."
