*Ding: Host you have completed the hidden task, Swan among the ducks. You are rewarded with the cocoon of Six Wing Blood Cicada. This is a creature that came into existence from the chaos energy. It feeds on pure spiritual energy, and blood essence. The creature is also known as the blood king of the insect race.*
Hao Ren was surprised to hear the notification. He checked his space ring and found a tiny red cocoon on a big leaf placed inside. He could sense a strong aura radiating from this cocoon. He took a deep breath and stood up from his seat. He stumbled a bit before he cupped his fists and said, "Big Brother, the younger would not take his leave. Forgive me, but I just recalled that Her Majesty will be coming for inspection tomorrow."
The people were frowning but when they realized that the Queen was coming over, they hurriedly sent Hao Ren away with Han Lingshi. The ladies even promised them that they would bring over some chicken soup in the morning for them. The young couple returned home, and Han Lingshi asked, "Ren, what happened all of a sudden?"
Hao Ren slumped on the couch and said, "I just found out that I hold a chaos creature in my hand and my mind is a bit rattled."
Yang came over with two cups of warm water, and served them on the table. The kid heard the word Chaos Creature and he shivered. Han Lingshi sensed this and asked, "Yang, are you okay?"
Yang gulped a mouthful, but he found that his mouth ran dry from the fear. He grasped the cup of water and downed it in one go, before he asked, "Young Master, did you just say a Chaos Creature?"
Hao Ren nodded and Yang anxiously asked, "Young Master, it is not a snake type, is it?"
The young man said, "It is an insect, why, what happened?"
Yang sighed in relief and sat down on the ground with a huff, as he said, "Young Master, you probably only know that Chaos Creatures are strong, but they are more dangerous for their own race than to others. In the library, I have read about them vaguely, and it is said, that Chaos Creatures are cannibals and they will consume their own kind to advance in realms. They do not have realms like the beings who cultivate spiritual energy.
They have tiers. Any Chaos Creature will be born at the level of Tier Four, higher than nascent soul realm. I was worried if this were to be a snake, then me and sister might not live."
Han Lingshi was surprised but then she understood, it was the innate among spiritual and chaotic beings. She patted his head and said, "How can we let anything happen to you and Yin? Do not worry, as long as we are here, you will be fine. Even if it is a chaotic creature. I will ask your Young Master to make a stew with it."
Yang was a bit silly, so he was easily coaxed. However, Hao Ren was not feeling easy. Hao Ren read the description of the insect in his mind, and then he took the cocoon out of the space ring. Han Lingshi pursed her lips and then said, "Why does this aura feel so oppressive?"
Hao Ren replied, "This is the aura that one need to cultivate if they want to step out of the Planet Shattering Realm. The energy of chaos is the key factor."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "It seems that the realms above are not easy to go through."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "Do you know how much is the difference between spiritual energy and Chaos energy?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and the young man said, "One wisp of chaos energy is equal to ten drops of true spirit."
The young lady opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "What the hell. How can a human body even handle that much energy?"
Hao Ren shrugged and said, "I have no idea, but true spirit is the purest form of spiritual energy inside the human body. After the tribulation of the heavens, the true spirit turns into chaos energy. If lucky you get ten wisps of it, because most of the true spirit evaporates when going through the tribulation."

Han Lingshi nodded and asked, "Would you be fine in this tribulation? Why not take some more time to get a better foundation?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I have a special physique, something I inherited from a senior in this world. I cannot control the pace of my cultivation but I will try to suppress the realm advancement as much as I could until I am sure. However, you know how this works, cultivation is very unpredictable."
Han Lingshi frowned, she did not wish to say it but she was scared for his well being. Hao Ren also sensed the fear in her heart but he did not say much. It was the way of life in this world. The two people chatted about things a bit and Han Lingshi said that they should bring Agnee over.
Hao Ren did not mind and agreed with her.
In the Samsara Empire, Zen Lily Palace, the residence of the Princess, Dai Shanguan, Ye Si and Yin were sitting in a pavillion watching the sky, when a maid informed that the Princess wants to come over.
Ye Si agreed and and after the maid left, she asked, "Yin, what do you think she wants?"
Yin replied calmly as she put down the cup of tea, "What else can a fallen princess do? She is here to test if we are willing to side with her."
Ye Si smiled and asked, "Well, if she wants to die, why go through such lengthy means?"
Yin replied with her still calm face, "Royals are all chaotic in their minds. She does not wish to die, had it not been for the fact that Big Brother has put Sister-in-law to the front, she might have tried to seduce him. This is just the instinct of a royal born to hold onto the sovereignty."
Ye Si nodded, as she said, "Yin, you have become so intelligent."
Yin snorted and said, "Tell that to Big Brother, he always treats me as a kid."
Ye Si chuckled lightly, and soon the Princess came in with an old man beside her. Ye Si raised her brow, she had tasted the Snake Wine and activated the Yin & Yang eyes. Hao Ren had been very generous with the Ye Generals. As long as they reached the level of strength that he asked them to within a certain time limit, he would not hold back with the rewards.
Dai Shanguang bowed to the two people, and said, "This is my maternal uncle, General Kai Jianshen."
Ye Si nodded and said, "I did not expect the princess to have a Dao Integration Realm expert beside her. Seems like the General has hidden himself well."
Kai Jianshen did not expect that the strength he had hidden for so long from the gazes of those corrupt courtiers would be unraveled by the young lady before him in a glance. He was visibly surprised. However, before he could say anything, Yin asked calmly, "What did the Princess want with us at this hour?"
Dai Shanguan could tolerate Ye Si talking to her , but what right did a child have. Ye Si saw the Princess frowning when she sighed and said, "Allow me to introduce you, Her Highness Hao Yin. First Princess of the Crescent Moon Kingdom."
This was the identity that Yin held in the forces, that is why even when the Ye generals knew about her true form were respectful of her. Yin had crossed three Tribulations, one to gain the human form, and two when she condensed her spirit core, and beast soul. She was as strong as Ye Si, even if she had the realm of a Dao Formation Realm cultivator.
Dai Shanguan was shocked when she heard this. She did not expect a princess to come over. Ye Si asked, "Are you surprised that Her Majesty sent the Princess over?"
Dai Shanguan nodded, and Yin replied, "Father told me to train and get stronger. Now, can you tell us what are you here for?"
Claiming to be the princess did two things, one it intimidated the people. After all, Yin was now seen as someone in direct relationship with Hao Ren, the Wandering Dragon. If Dai Shanguan made a mistake or tried to play her games, she would not even know how she died. Another effect it had on people was to signify that Hao Ren did not want his people to be weak.
The pursuit of strength was the fate of a cultivator. Dai Shanguan gulped a mouthful before revealing a beautiful smile, "I have seen the Princess."
Yin nodded and asked, "You have not answered my question, Your Highness Dai."
Dai Shanguan said, "Your Highness, General Ye, I had come here to divulge the information about the corrupt nobles as you have instructed in the noon. My uncle knows the situation better than me, so I brought him over."
The meeting began, earlier Dai Shanguan still had some hope in her heart but all of it was not extinguished by a cold Yin.
