Chapter 507 Weeks Passing

Several weeks quickly passed.

The state of Cloudsea Holy Land was once highly noisy but now had officially calmed down.

Cain and Amber had managed to smoothly engrave themselves into the top echelons of the sect.

Many disciples and even Elders considered Cain as the true young Lightning King after his duel with Xu Tao. He had officially succeeded both Hu Wen and Xu Tao with zero disagreements from any other parties.

After all, the battle recording ring makes it impossible for anyone to disagree with proven facts. If any other Core disciples had some thoughts about Cain, that was promptly stopped due to the recording.

Only the top-ranking core disciples had a chance to do anything against Cain. But to most expectations and slight dismay, the higher ranking Core disciples never bothered to seek out Cain or Amber once.

When considering Amber, she truly never fought with any other Martial disciples. However, her Spirit achievement still cemented as a terrifying force.

Her Spirit energy aura gradually became more dominating to whoever sensed it from afar. Nobody would be able to clearly identify Amber's Spirit energy. The only case would be if she gave specific permission to meditate in her general vicinity.

Like this, the duo diligently cultivated and improved at a rapid pace. Their Spiritual Sea's perception abilities similarly improved rapidly.

At this point, Cain and Amber had finally reached Middle Great Divine Sea, creating over 100 essence marks!

Their Great Divine Sea gained denser and more complex energy properties which also fortify their foundations.

Such speed was indeed incredible.

However, what left Cain and Amber a bit vexed was the fact that their Heavenly Grade Dao Core Fragments were already 40% drained. The Dao Core Fragments were also causing their Divine Laws to near the peak of the Late Stage but at a cost of a tremendous sum of energy.

The duo even had thoughts that it was going to take them a delayed amount of time to simply reach the peak of the Great Divine Sea realm.

A thought to be concerned about for sure. But the duo didn't let it make waves in their minds. They continued to calmly cultivate until they saw a need for change.

As for the social side of their status, the duo wasn't actually loners compared to their days in the Zhou Family Manor.

Cain still gives pointers to Jin Ya, Xu Tao, and Hu Wen. Each of them was now greatly eager to meet up with him and study his Law energy principles.

Their progress was evident in Cain's eyes. He could simply perceive that their Divine Laws had increased in their foundations rather than just pure speed.

As for Amber, she still rarely talked. Though when Zi Guo came around, she still let him study his Spirit energy Law principles.

Amazingly enough, she would even let him ask a question about Spirit energy Law principles. Thought those times would largely depend on Amber's mood that day.

The duo really were just doing what they felt like, simply going with the flow. But unknowingly, their social reputation largely increased into being benevolent.

The rumors of them being merciless and cold didn't disappear, it only sizzled down compared to the generosity they showcased.

Those rumors truly couldn't impact the duo's mind. What did make Cain and Amber slightly puzzled was the fact that both Divine Decree Lords were strangely silent throughout this time.

Wen Dao didn't try and bombarded them with missions. Nor did Wen Shao attempt to seek them out for trouble.

Cain and Amber obviously didn't believe those two changed to a new leaf. They more so buy that they were biding their time for the perfect to strike.

When that day comes, the duo knew they'll need to be extra prepared.

On this day, Cain had made his way down to the Law Training Field. When teleporting in, his Divine Sense instantly perceived two intense Divine Auras clashing against each other.

Small shockwaves spurted the air and energy lights sparkled the area.

Fights were typical in the Law Training Field among other areas. Even in the starter area, disciples who had grudged with each other would take the time to settle things right in the open.

Thankfully, just like in the Dao Core Temple, the starting field was immensely huge to support the battles of Divine Cultivators.

Cain fathom it was larger than a stadium. More than enough room for high-speed fights and shockwave clashes.

The surrounding disciples would have varying interests in these fights. It depended on how high the disciples' fighting cultivation was, their status, or complex personal relationships.

These fights wouldn't arouse Cain's intrigue beyond a surface level. He would simply continue about his days.

However, these Divine Auras felt incredibly similar to him. Cain peered to his right and witnessed an interesting battle.

Standing on a pillar of Water Law essence, appearing valiant as a goddess of water, was a determined maiden. Her hands stayed in a fixed sign of a Martial skill.

Above her head was a stream of Water Law essence that continually flowed down toward her opponent in a never-ending wave.

Her Divine Laws rippled with profound power and complex energy principles.

Despite only being a peak Early-Stage Divine Star genius, the power behind her Divine Laws would be enough to suppress numerous peak Mid Divine Star geniuses.

This valiant woman that was like a water fairy was Jin Ya. Her expression was relaxed with traces of great confidence as she stared down at her opponent.

There wasn't any need to move from the spot. Her endless stream Martial Skill made the outcome inevitable.

Though suppressed, her foe couldn't be glossed over.

His hand formed a large defensive Martial Skill in the form of a Fire Law essence barrier that just barely held against the endless water essence stream.

In his other hand was a faint green light of essence energy.

This wasn't a type of Fire Law essence, but actually another type of essence energy altogether. This genius had actually managed to comprehend another Divine Law; Divine Wind Laws!

The green light continually flowed into the Fire essence barrier and continually enhanced its powers.

Though this genius had weaker energy density and less complex energy principles, his combination of Laws allowed him to at least stand his ground against Jin Ya.

This particular genius was one who Cain briefly saw weeks ago. He was the slightly arrogant youth, Ren Bao.

The outcome of the battle was already determined.

Ren Bao's body trembled as sweat continually poured down his face, drenching his clothes. He only stubbornly persisted on through sheer willpower alone.

At any point could Jin Ya end this duel. But she appeared to be in slight contemplation. Her eyes were flashing as if she had discovered something profound in her own Law energy principles.

Not a huge crowd surrounded the duel. At best, there were some curious disciples at the same stage focusing on their duel with their Divine Sense.

Whenever Cain was to see Jin Ya, he wouldn't hesitate to go over and give her some pointers.

Today was no different.

As Cain approached, he naturally attracted the attention of numerous other disciples.

Jin Ya and Ren Bao stilted. They simultaneously peered over at Cain as if their souls were pulled over.

A pleasant smile made its way onto Jin Ya's face. She quelled her Martial Sill and hopped off the Water essence pillar, landing close to Cain.

Ren Bao also quelled his Martial Skill and cautiously approached.

Cain casually smiled. He asked. "That looked like a good match. And you know, I'm a bit surprised to see another with dual Law attainments. I can understand others around here since this sect has the means. But..."

His eyes drifted to Ren Bao with implicit intentions.

Jin Ya nodded and spoke for Ren Bao. "It's indeed as you think, Martial brother. Ren Bao really did get lucky on the outside. Of course, his natural talent is decent enough. But truthfully, the main factor was luck. With it, he managed to obtain the Soul Nourishment Art. A Heavenly Grade soul cultivation manual that helps with strengthening the soul's core. At least to a point where Ren Bao can withstand two Divine Laws."

"Oh? A Heavenly Grade Art? And a soul cultivation one at that?"

Cain asked, genuinely surprised. The gaze he gave Ren Bao turned increasingly mysterious. To find a soul cultivation art, a heavenly grade one at that, his luck must be brighter than the stars.

At this moment, a thought streaked through Ren Bao's mind like lightning. An opportunity had suddenly appeared, and he was going to grasp it.

He nodded to Cain and said, "I know it sounds almost too unbelievable, but it's true! I only managed to stumble upon it during my ventures out of the city. And it was through this that I got lucky enough to barely control Fire Laws alongside my Wind Laws."

Taking a moment to pause, Ren Bao continues to say, "If Martial brother would like it, I can lend the art to you. Your talent is far superior to mine, so you would find much more success with it."

Jin Ya merely curled her brows at this but didn't say anything. Even she can see the implication behind this move. But whether or not it would be successfully held zero ripples in her mind.

As for Cain, he felt slightly amused and intrigued. His Divine Seal Art already made the Soul Nourishment Art slightly redundant. Especially when considering the Divine Seal Art is at a far higher grade.

Still, Cain didn't find anything wrong with receiving extra help. His motto was always to be as overly prepared as possible.

The Soul Nourishment Art seems like a good opportunity to add that extra layer of soul power for him and Amber.

Even for owing a slight favor, Cain didn't mind it. He nodded at Ren Bao and said, "Since you are so gracious, I won't dance around. If you need a favor from me, within range, of course, just ask. Truthfully, I have my own means of soul cultivation, so I won't be holding on to this art for a long time. Still, I thank what I can get now."

"Excellent!"

Ren Bao was satisfied as he ignited his spatial ring and took out the Soul Nourishment scroll.

Passing along to Cain, he said, "I really hope this can meet your standards. Even my Elders back at home saw great use in this art."

Cain took the scroll and gave the duo another look over.
