Chapter 557 Weeks’ Progress

Hours soon passed.

After an exciting round of exchaning moves with Lan Rui, Cain quickly went back to his house.

He soon found Amber meditating in the courtyard as per usual.

Amber's eyes slowly opened, and she gave Cain a calm look over. She faintly smiled. "Broke through and receive some great news, right? Your time with Lan Rui seemed to be great."

Cain simply shrugged his shoulders. "Indeed, it was. I've just learned about our next goal."

For the next few minutes, Cain proceeded to relay everything he learned from Lan Rui to Amber.

Amber actually had a slightly surprised expression by the end of it all. "The Starry Earth Realm? So it seems we'll be in the limelight for good after this. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Of course, we have to go. There's no reason to fear trouble, really. Most wouldn't even think of us the Divine Mortals who disappeared because of our Aura Arts. And, once we reach the Divine Star realm, we won't even have to fear ordinary Holy Kings!" Cain confidently stated.

A slight tremor went through Amber's mind and body.

The Holy King realm?

That's considered as the front stage of the entire God Galaxy!

Any organization, even Heavenly Great Worlds, values its Holy Kings. Their understanding of the True Great Dao was tremendous and the energy principles they can exude can easily shatter apart planets a few thousand miles long!

And Cain as confident in dealing with such terrifying powerhouses?

Even Amber felt some concern about the gap between Divine Ruler to the Holy King realm.

She slowly asked, "Can that kind of boundary truly be crossed? And even then, are you confident about facing Peak Stages Divine Rulers?"

"With 4th layer Chaos energy, Draconic Lightning, and Phoenix Ice, I truly don't fear anyone in the Divine Ruler. Just trust me. During these months of training, I will be combining these energy forces to create tremendously powerful attacks. Even a half-step Holy King would need to treat me seriously by then."

Cain spoke as if everything was a natural fact. What he set out to achieve would be performed, no matter what.

Amber sighed with a slightly wry smile. "It's practically impossible to change your mind when you're dead set on something anyway. So? Who are you going to bring along on this trip? You would have enough power to do so, I assume."

Cain only needed a moment to think before saying, "I'm sure now. I'll take along Jin Ya, Yulong, Lan Rui, Xu Tao and Hu Wen. They all could really use a leap forward in their cultivation."

Amber's face dawned genuine surprise at the mention of one name. "Oh? You're actually willing to bring along another guy with us? I would've thought you have gotten used to an all-women team."

"I won't lie and say the idea isn't enticing." Cain casually admitted, without any shame. "But, as I said, I would rather have focus and useful allies more than anything. Having backup could never go wrong for any situation."

"I suppose I can't argue with that." Amber nodded in agreement.

Just as Cain was about to contact the others, a faint pulse engulfed the entirety of his mind. Unfathomable soul energy was transmitted to him.

Without hesitation, Cain linked his Spiritual Sea to this soul energy. Elder Xi's hypnotic voice blared in his mind.

'I observed your little duel today. It seems you really are planning to take a trip out, hm?'

'Indeed, master. This will be an opportunity of a lifetime for us. I'm confident in directly reaching the Divine Star realm after this trip.' Cain promptly replied.

Curiosity filled Elder Xi's tone as she said, 'Oh? Is that right? Even against the far higher tier Divine Decree Lords and Heavenly Venerate's direct disciples? Clashing against them at your current cultivation base will cause quite a storm.'

There wasn't a single bit of hesitation in Cain's tone. 'I am aware, master. But rest assured, when I reach the Divine Star realm, it'll give me a great chance to actually explore the God Galaxy with minimal help. Keeping ourselves a secret will only hinder our progress.'

The line went dead for a moment. Elder Xi put forth a lot of thought toward her direct disciples. She clearly understood the need to grow and the need to stay protected for a while.

After a moment, she said, 'We will discuss more of this later. But for the months to come, be sure to cultivate and train harder than ever. Peak Stage Divine Rulers can pull out tricks you might not expect.'

'That only goes without saying, master. I never do anything I'm not 100% confident about.' Cain told as if it was a natural order.

With only a slight hum from Elder Xi, the line went dead.

A surge of excitement swelled through Cain. His eyes brightly glinted. The hunger for battle had ignited within him!

No matter what, highly intense combat, and deathly thrills, would always get his blood roaring. It stimulated his soul at a great intensity.

He was eagerly looking forward to what challenges this Earth Starry Realm can provide.

....

In a different quarter from both the direct disciple section and the core ranking geniuses.

Inside this royal house were Wen Dao and Jiang Ling.

The two extreme geniuses of Cloudsea's younger generation. But their expressions weren't as almighty as they would usually be. In fact, neither could feel that cloud nine sensations for months now.

The duo had just finished studying a white crystal ball that contained essence of information.

Jiang Ling could only sigh at what he heard. "Whether it's true or not, none of the direct disciples dares to go against Lee or Xun. Their talent is still beyond our expectations. And now, we don't even have a chance to form a clear alliance with them."

Clear regret flashed on Jiang Ling's face. The best path they have chosen should've been to close their ties, rather than ignoring them.

He and Wen Dao knew trying to suppress them wouldn't even work given the duo's high prowess. Because of this, these two never would've thought Cain and Amber's cultivation growth would be this grossly exaggerated.

Wen Dao slowly shook his head. "Despite being a Mid Divine Ruler, I'm not confident about facing either Lee or Xun. The only thing I and my brother have to look forward to is the Five Blessed King Inheritance."

"But...what about the Starry Earth Realm? Are you not going to try for that?" Jiang Ling suddenly asked.

A mirthful chuckle escaped Wen Dao's lips. "Even without their presence, what makes you think I have a chance? Of course, I will still go for the experience. But the final end of that place is only for the peak Ruler Divine Decree Lords. For now, my brother and I have the same plan. Just bide for time. Maybe with the Five Blessed King inheritance, our status can change."

It sounded hopeful, but Jiang Ling couldn't inspire any feeling of confidence.

There was a time when Wen Dao was absolutely sure about the Five Blessed King inheritance.

Now?

Nothing can be predicted anymore!

Who knows just how much things will change just by the Earth Starry realm event?

...

Weeks silently passed.

Disciples of Cloudsea Holy Land were all engaged in their typical cultivating lives. While others had taken a step up in their cultivation.

Jin Ya, Xu Tao, and Hu Wen became particularly of notice as of late.

Just recently, both Xu Tao and Hu Wen clearly prove they're superior to both Sun Wei and Jin Bo!

The complexity of their Divine Laws gave them an advantage that made a huge disparity in their prowess. Right under everyone's noses did the Young Lightning Lords truly become the 1st ranked and 2nd ranked core disciples!

Even with this title, neither Xu Tao nor Hu Wen dared to slack off their training for even a moment.

As for Jin Ya, she gained fame for easily suppressing any peak Late Stage Divine Star genius! She could even match blow for blow against peak Stage Divine Star geniuses. Her progress left those at her level feeling immensely pressured.

Although nobody was confused about how and why these three could make such progress. The fact that Cain still continues to train with them is public knowledge. A direct disciple like him simply didn't care about any status.

Furthermore, Cain had only taken an interest in these three disciples. Nobody else was able to sway his mind. Not even other heaven-class beauties that are on the core ranking list.

On this day, inside Cain's royal house.

Amber was meditating off to the side in their courtyard as per usual.

While at the center sat Cain, Yulong, and two magnificent Dragon phantoms growing from their backs!

Nove l B(in).C OM

Indeed, extending out of Cain's body and floating majestically above his head was a beautiful Lightning Dragon.

The full prestige of a True Dragon could overwhelm galaxies! Just this phantom alone minced apart small sections of space.

This immemorial creature was the very king of all other beasts. All other Dragons would need to bow down to it.

This was the case with Yulong's own Dragon phantom. Of course, her utmost noble black Dragon phantom could disdain upon many, if not all other bloodlines across the entire God Galaxy.

She was royalty to near absolute perfection. Even Divine Rulers would feel an innate suppression in the majestic presence of the black Dragon phantom.

However, despite its own royalty, the Dragon phantom willingly lowered its head towards Cain's Lightning Dragon phantom. It clearly knew the strict hierarchy couldn't be ignored. Down to its very core did the Dragon phantom feel genuinely inferior.

But though there was an innate sensation of inferiority, Yulong wasn't disturbed at all. Her body was only inches apart from Cain's. They were practically touching shoulders with one another. Only a step away from being in an intimate position.

Cain was aware of their position, but he didn't mind it at all, calmly taking in her reaction.

Yulong's subtle body reactions felt comfortable to Cain and amusing. He didn't see any reason to stop natural progress.
