The means of a Primal Soverigen grandmaster should be invincible. Impossible for anyone in a lower cultivation realm to counter. Even a Divine Mortal should be absolutely helpless!
And yet, here they are.
Cain and Lan Rui safely returned without any hint of an issue. Moreover, the duo came back with an item that allowed another Supreme Elder to completely heal!
A slightly ugly expression crossed Lin Zui's face. "Master...what are we going to do now? This was a huge risk for us. Now that Elder Ma is back to her peak state, Lan Rui might say something about us to her. Even without concrete evidence, her words alone can sow discord between your affairs master."
For a moment, Elder Gao, the high and mighty Primal Sovereign grandmaster, could not form a proper response.
He for sure had backup plans for failure. But a large part of his plan relied on success. The failure sent him back dozens among dozens of steps.
Elder Gao couldn't help but internally sigh. 'The life of a cultivator...'
Those who walked down the divine path would need to take inevitable risks. And of course, not every risk taken leads to success.
Some risks could lead to absolute ruin!
Elder Gao was at least assured his life nor his disciple's life would be in danger. But this didn't mean matters wouldn't get troublesome with Elder Ma's recovery.
A flicker of feeling emerged from Elder Gao's soul. It was a particularly insidious sensation. Warped and twisted with his negative feelings for having his plans destroyed by a mere junior.
But this fleeting feeling only lasted for a second. Elder Gao's Divine Will quickly stimulated, allowing his mind to return to a natural state of calm.
His brows stopped tightening. And a terrifyingly calm gaze shifted onto Elder Gao's face. "The plan was a failure. But should we let that get to us? The fallout will indeed be troublesome. But this is only a small bump on our road. We will wait. Wait until however long we need, until we can score a clean, perfect strike."
His voice rippled into the atmosphere. Such a tone carried a mystical sensation of unfathomable power.
The principles of a Primal Soverigen grandmaster were infused into Elder Gao's every word. His confidence was at its absolute peak!
Lin Zui shivered all over. His soul couldn't help but be at ease under the majestic presence of a grandmaster.
Soon enough, boundless confidence began surging throughout his body. A fiery spirit glinted his eyes! "Understood, master. Lee really is more troublesome than anyone of us can expect. But against a true grandmaster, he will eventually fall..."
...
The next few weeks passed peacefully. Cloudsea Holy Land was in full thrive.
The lower elders and disciples couldn't really understand why. But it was as if a looming shadow had suddenly vanished over their heads!
Many were in particularly good moods as they further their Dao path.
Cain had fallen into an enjoyable routine these past weeks. Many thoughts about the future continually swarmed his mind. Some of them are greatly warranted for concern.
But his daily routine allowed him to achieve a serene state of mind.
On a random day, Cain started off his daily routine by personally visiting Jin Ya.
In the past, the duo would meet up in the open Law training field. But now, Cain will only go to the Law training field for Xu Tao and Hu Wen.
Xu Tao and Hu Wen completely claimed the king spot within the Lightning Law field. Thus, they could be completely secluded when Cain decides to give them pointers.
It was a different case for Jin Ya. She held zero interest in reaching the king spot in the Water Law field. Far too noisy. And far too troublesome for her to truly care.
Thus, when training together, Cain would typically end up in Jin Ya's private quarters, staying directly in her courtyard.
Jin Ya's courtyard was currently filled to the brim with beautiful lights of Water Laws.
Every luminous ray of Water Law carried a harrowing trace of power. The mere vibrations can exude powerful winds that weaker Divine Star cultivators have zero chance of resisting. They would simply be frail leaves in the wind.
Even middle stage Divine Star experts would be instilled with a sense of helplessness. Late stage Divine Star would need to treat these rays of water laws with absolute caution.
The cause of these terrifying water law lights came directly from Jin Ya.
She calmly sat in a lotus position as her body continually exuded unfathomable divine lights.
Right by her side was Cain. He had one hand gently gripped down on Jin Ya's shoulder while he studied the rays of water law lights.
At times, his eyes would be brightly illumined with the glorious might of Divine Ice Laws. Every spark of his ice laws would completely freeze a part of Jin Ya's rays of water laws.
It was a complete suppression of Divine Laws. A higher order force completely engulfs an inferior force.
Jin Ya's body would shiver every time it happen. Her brows twisted together, but she did not lose focus.
All of her willpower poured out. Exerting extreme control over her water laws, she would smash open the frozen water laws.
Every extreme exertion of water law usage drew upon the depths of Jin Ya's Spiritual Sea perception abilities.
It allowed her to slightly grow beyond her previous state of control, improving in just the tiniest of ways.
Jin Ya's expression was typically unclear to tell from time to time. She really only had a small smile curling her cute lips at periodic moments. Every show of a small smile brightens her divinely beautiful face to another level.
Cain could at least tell that with him, Jin Ya never found herself unfocused or disinterested.
"Mn..." Jin Ya suddenly sighed in contentment. "Martial brother, your pointers really are amazing. I haven't even been in the middle stage for a long time and already I can feel my Spiritual Sea is touching the borders of the late stage!"
A small amount of enthusiasm slipped through Jin Ya's tone. Any small advancement of cultivation was like a dream come true for her.
Her soul's deepest desire was heavily linked to all aspects of cultivation. The small progress of her cultivation was worthy of joy than frustration for her.
Cain could also admit that Jin Ya's cultivation speed was startlingly fast for someone with her level of talent. After all, even the other top-level core disciples spent months or years within a single minor boundary stage.
Jin Ya was making a record-breaking pace with this cultivation speed.
Cain lightly chuckled. "It's not all my doing. A lot is heavily dependent on your diligent focus, Jin Ya. The Starry Earth Realm broadened your Spiritual Sea. And you took the initiative to capitalize on and expand upon these changes. Your Divine Will is as determined as ever."
"Mn! That's right!" Jin Ya vigorously nodded. "And I know with only more hard work, I'll be able to achieve far greater heights than I could only dream of in the past. I feel even better than before from just today's training martial brother."
She was a determined cultivator to the very end. Though the touch of Cain was noticeable in her mind.
