Feeling a rise of intrigue over the specifics of the Divine Way, questions began emerging within Cain, Kali, and Amber's minds.
Amber was the one to speak as she asked them, "That's right, Senior Wei did teach us about this before. Although, it wasn't incredibly in-depth since we're not in Divinehood. But since we're very close to it now, mind telling us just what does nurturing the Inner World consist of?"

Even as Amber didn't showcase her abilities, neither Huang Dai nor Xun dared to be disrespectful.
Huang Dai promptly said, "Basically, it consists of venturing this massive universe for resources that are specific to the Law we cultivate. Whatever Law we have an affinity with, we need the specific resource that corresponds to it. Those resources give life to both our Qi Marks and Law Marks, continually fueling them like an energy source. What grandmother told me before is that we're essentially nurturing a small garden within our Inner World. And with the right steps, this garden will eventually blossom into a full-on world that can surpass the power of literally the entire World Power of a Heavenly Great World! Of course, that is hundreds and hundreds of years in the future for us."
"Oh? I see what you mean now." Cain thoughtfully nodded. "Unless one has a perfect shortcut, it's always a true struggle for people with ambitions. Those not fully willing to commit to the Martial Path will be inevitably far weaker and hit an impossible to cross roadblock. Thus, the experiences we have, even from an early age, forge our minds quite early. And Zilong and Linlong probably learned quite a lot from their experiences."
Huang Xun's tone was solemn. "Indeed they have. I can still recall just how discontent they were with their Dao Diagram test. Which is why in the proceeding years, they made all sorts of plans to obtain the best resources."
"You know, I'm quite curious on just what kind of schemes did those two perform. What have they specifically done to you two?" Amber curiously asked.
And both Huang Dai and Xun's expressions sourly twisted.
Bitter memories arouse within Hunag Dai as he said, "We have several memories of it, but one of particular note was when Xun and I were exploring a high-ranking resources cave, we had just gone trudging through numerous battles for several 5,000 years crystal ginsengs. These would've sustained both the Law and Qi path in our Inner World. But right at the last moment, Zilong and Linlong showed up right behind us, claiming they were keeping away any other potential pursuers. But we knew what they wanted. In the end, they extorted us and the others because somehow, they hid their strength expertly. Anything really good we ever got, Zilong and Linlong will be there to extort all of us. And above all, none of the Elders will do anything significant about it. But now…they seem like they want to bide their time."
"For how long will they wait? I'm not sure at all. But always keep your eye out for them. They also have the endurance to patiently wait." Huang Xun concluded in a firm tone.
"I see…" Cain, Kali, and Amber listened to each of their words.
But though they listened, Kali and Amber were having trouble placing either Huang Zilong or Linlong in their eyes.
They've already surpassed them and, in the future, will continue to grow massively stronger than them. Plus, they're backing of Shi Wei completely suppresses their Dragon Emperor's backing.
What could they possibly do to them?
It wasn't complete arrogance on the girls' parts but rather undeniable confidence that stemmed from their souls.
As for Cain, he only felt his intrigue surrounding the Crown Pince and Huang Linlong grow even more.
Still, he kept his intentions, retaining a neutral expression.
He then began strolling towards the door while saying, "Well then, enough about them. Shall we do some sparring with our new prowess? I'm still quite in an itch for battle."
"Hehehe~! Now we're finally getting to something exciting." Kali's face finally showed eagerness as she walked with a pep in her step.
Amber gave Huang Dai and Xun a slight pity smile.
She decided to throw a bone at them by saying, "It may be hard to keep up with them, but if you want to get closer, this will be one of your best ways. Though, don't expect to gain a yard anytime soon."
With that said, Amber quickly followed behind Kali.
Huang Xun and Dai took one look at each other before quietly sighing. Nothing can be done unless they go through trials.
With their determinations firm, the Dai and Xun followed behind Cain's group.
....
The celestial mountains of the God Galaxies realms are all incomparably broad and rich with beautiful sceneries.
Some celestial mountains could have vibrantly lushes forests. Others could have grand metropolis cities that are double the sizes of massive mortal continents.
While others could even contain various unique terrains such as a hot desert, a frozen tundra massive ravines.
Nearly all celestial mountain's growth depends on the environment they are placed in.
If the environment has pure enough Heaven and Earth's Divine Essence and potent World Source Laws, these celestial mountains can last for hundreds of thousands of years.
Within those thousands of years, the accumulation of Divine Essence and World Source Law Marks would be staggeringly high.
In the Huang Dragon hidden world, their celestial mountains primarily consist of massive, lushes forest areas.
At the hidden world's highest celestial mountain, two hooded people were currently traversing its vibrant forest. These two were on a direct road trail that was surprisingly wide enough to fit hundreds of people.
The hooded people walked with little urgency. Their head slowly shifted around as they causally inspected the scenery around them.
Large trees that stretched far into their skies. Bushes with numerous exotic-looking fruits and numerous beautiful flowers that filled the ground filled their gazes.
Furthermore, a pleasant, near hypnotic fragrance permeated throughout the forest.
If one were to look at its surface level, this forest seemed serenely peaceful.
But, if a Martial cultivator were to sweep out their Spirit or Divine senses, they would detect thousands of auras continually traversing throughout the forest.
And none of these auras had the same quality of serenity. Many of them appeared hostile, engaging with each other in fierce battle.
Strong gusts of winds continually gushed out of the forest.
But it wasn't from the environment; rather, it was from the remnants shockwaves of other people's battles.
These shockwaves could be potentially threatening to even a Sacred Sage warrior.
However, towards the hooded people, it was nothing more than a light breeze.
When the hooded people realized they were all alone, a voice finally slipped out.
"So this is the environment of a God Galaxy? It truly is much more orderly than Heaven Skys' wild forest. I'm glad we decided to go out." A melodic young woman's voice came from one of the hooded people.
The other hooded person nodded, saying, "This will definitely serve as a nice break from sparring with Kali or simply cultivating. Never been out here myself."
Indeed, the people casually walking were the ones that could cause a massive storm throughout the whole Huang Dragon's hidden world, Cain and Amber.
Several days had already passed since the sea realm excursion competition.
During these days, Cain's life went into a simple routine.
Because he only had a dantian, there wasn't a great need for him to continually venture out of the palace. He could simply spar with Kali, quietly cultivate, refine Spirit energy and enjoy time with Amber at his leisure.
Occasionally he would hang out with Huang Dai and Xun. And sometimes, he would just spend some time with Huang Xun alone.
These relaxing days allowed Cain to become more familiarized with his cultivation. He previously never had the time to thoroughly comprehend his current realm because of his rapid bouts of growth.
The slow training helps Cain improve his understanding of Martial cultivation.
Furthermore, Cain also took the time to slowly learn more about the world around him.
Currently, he and Amber decided to go on a little date today. It came from a mix of enjoying each other companies and a curiosity towards the grand environment of the God Galaxies.
Thus, with some help from Shi Wei, they managed to silently arrive on a trail close to Yellow Dragon city.
And instead of rushing there, the young couple took the time to see the beauty in its nature.
Cain was genuinely amazed by everything around him. He genuinely didn't see anything quite like this. Most of his time is typically spent in the Imperial Palace, either in his room, the open courtyard, or the imperial library.
When he had his previous cultivation, Cain could understand the limited freedom.
Outside the Huang Dragon's hidden world was an obvious bait for any and all potential dangers.
Shi Wei was undoubtedly powerful and highly affectionate. But one also couldn't deny her clever, shrewd mind. She knew her limits, recognizing that against unexpected incidents, it would be far too late to regret.
Unless it was exceptions like quasi or full mystic realms, Shi Wei wouldn't dare to send Cain's group out without the absolute best protection.
As for their own hidden world, the danger was indeed significantly less. But, Shi Wei naturally didn't ascribe to the thoughts that the other Huang Dragons would not have any strange ideas about Cain's group.
The potential in them, even before their Divine Mortal status, was incredibly high.
Ambitious people would have a clear understanding of their own kind. Shi Wei believes she has a clear enough understanding of the Martial Hearts in general.
Even if it was the most negligible probability, the fact remains that there is a potential for something risky to occur to Cain, Kali, and Amber.
But all of this significantly changed now that Cain's group reached the Sacred Sage realm and revealed their Divine Mortal status.
In terms of prowess, neither Cain nor Amber needs to worry about situations they can't deal with.
Cities, forests, or any other terrain in celestial mountains tends to be tremendously weaker than a branch of the Imperial Family or even a smaller scale external sect.
The residents who prowess these areas are typically one's with talent merely average or just slightly lacker from God Galaxies' usual standards. Meaning, that the strongest cultivators Cain and Amber could encounter in this area would be at most an average mid-tier Divine Origin expert.
It would be rare to spot any causal Great Divine Sea or Divine Star, expert.
In these areas, those powerhouses tend to stay cooped up in their own forces, living a lash life compared to the rest of their city's residents.
But beyond just prowess, Cain's political status was perhaps even more domineering.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Cain's status stood at the very peak of the whole Huang Dragon's hidden world!
