Chapter 622 Back Into Action, Departing Gift

Rarely would Cain and Lan Rui speak during their private moments.

Lan Rui wasn't much of a talker to begin with. While Cain enjoyed the serene sense of peace.

But there were special times. Moments where Lan Rui would blissfully sigh and say, "This is nice..."

A simple three-word phrase shouldn't mean much. However, Lan Rui would rarely, if ever, compliment on something that didn't relate to cultivation.

The mystical link between Cain and Lan Rui gradually progresses to greater heights.

For the last part of Cain's daily routine, he would spend the nights with Amber.

The duo was practically inseparable when together. Their souls yearned for each other. Their bodies would mush together, wishing to combine into perfect dual force.

These were times here Amber would show off the splendor of her World Spirit Master progress.

Golden Spirit energy was truly mesmerizing to gain upon. Every slight ray of golden light exuded an unfathomable sensation of Spirit Laws. A force of the universe that can convert souls into loyal slaves.

Amber's control over Golden Spirit energy was also amazing. She could practically twist it into any shape she so desire.

Typically, Amber was never one for small or grand gestures. Being in Cain's presence was enough for her.

But with her desire and passion for Spirit energy, she sometimes couldn't help herself. She would make a grand showcase of Spirit energy.

In the skies of their courtyard, Amber would effortlessly manifest a golden sky full of twinkling starlights.

This wasn't an exaggeration or a mere feeling.

Quite literally, she and Cain would gaze upon a luminous golden sky of glistening starlights.

Cain was more than just impressed. The golden starlight sky didn't come from preexisting Spirit art. But from Amber's pure passion!

The golden starlight sky may not have any real power behind it. However, Cain could tell that early and middle Divine Rulers would be put into a hypnotic trance. It would be impossible for them to even twitch a finger. Every part of their mind would fall under the pure beauty of Spirit energy Laws.

Amber would occasionally sigh with pure joy during these times. She would say in a dreamy daze, "This is life...the best life I could ever ask for."

Cain would even get a bit sentimental during these times. Amber's words also hold true for him.

His previous homeworld life disinterested him to the point of insanity. And now in this new life, he's practically living as a true young master!

Cain had to admit. If he could live his days like this, he wouldn't mind if it went on for several years.

But now wasn't the time to lose himself. Many matters still plagued Cain's mind.

Just what happened to Huang Dai, Xun, and Kali?

Is his grandmother still alive?

Did anything happen to the Huang family because of the loss of the other prime disciples?

Just what did the Heavenly Venerate of the Frost Islands mean with his cryptic message?

Why was there an ancient creature from several eras ago alive and kicking within the Sea Collision realm?

Just why did two talented Holy King masters have this strange vendetta against him?

All these questions never left Cain's mind while even in his daily routine. A free and determined spirit like himself needed his questions answered. And to get answers, there was only one route possibility.

Furthering his Dao path.

Cain could tell that already facing stronger Holy King foes and those above this realm will only get much more complicated.

The disparity of Dao Laws was everything. If he can't match these Laws in terms of both density and complexity, his life will only get tougher.

The quickest route to raise his Divine Laws, besides his base cultivation, was his attainment levels.

However, raising attainment levels does not come easy. Cain had to rely on massive luck and chance just to reach the quasi-grandmaster level. Continuing his daily routine would just not be enough.

Thus, Cain planned for another excursion outing. This time, he would be all alone.

...

Several months peacefully passed.

During his daily routine, Cain had finally reached a bottleneck. He sat firmly at peak early Divine Star for weeks now.

Constructing more essence marks from his Dao Source Core and other resources turned into a considerably slower pace.

The amount Cain needs to develop his Inner World is at least dozens, if not, hundreds of times greater than a Divine Decree Lord.

Sitting around and waiting was never Cain's style. Hence, he knew it was time for his solo excursion.

Elder Xi had zero problems sending Cain off alone. She knew he could sufficiently protect himself. And he had protection from their ancestor along with the Supreme Elders.

With that kind of backing, Elder Xi and the other Supreme Elders knew that a dragon like Cain needs to spread his wing open wide.

At this time, Cain and a few others stood in front of the transmission array that'll bring him outside of direct disciple quarters.

Cain was a bit preoccupied at the moment. His arms stayed tightly coiled around Yulong, pulling her deep into his chest.

She stayed nuzzled in his neck with a smile equally full of bliss and a bit regretful. Their souls soothe from just this simple hug.

Pulling back, Yulong wryly smiled while shaking her head. "If only we were at your amazing height of power...but alas, even half-step Holy King can rip us to shreds! Still, though, you must make sure to take of yourself."

"Mn. That's right. Martial brother, you must make sure to never get too conceited." Lan Rui seriously spoke.

Best

"Danger is attached to our life. Martial brother just needs to come back with his life intact." Jin Ya also spoke in a serious tone.

Amber wryly smiled. "I always know this crazed nut will come back in one piece. Just try not to stir that much chaos. Don't want you getting battered up too badly."

Indeed, seeing Cain off were four divine maidens who all seemed to have descended from the immortal world.

All of them stared at Cain with hopeful expressions that'll leave thousands of emperors seething in unending envy.

Cain couldn't put quite his finger on it. But this moment scratched the deepest part of his soul. He confidently smiled, saying, "Have any of you ever seen me lose? Don't fret. Facing a Holy King master is just a causal walk for me."

"That'll leave us even more worried..." Yulong sighed. And it was at this moment. Her eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint.

"Just one more thing before you go~"

Her tone sent slight shivers down Cain's spine.

For a brief moment, he spotted Lan Rui's beautiful facing blushing in adorable embarrassment. A slightly dazed look crossed Jin Ya's face, and Amber wryly shrugged.

It all happened in an instant.

"Chu~"

Four pairs of set divine lips kissed Cain's cheek!

'Oh?' Cain's face glistens like a star. The tingles coursing through his body nearly made his toes curl.

In the next moment, Cain suddenly sensed Lan Rui flying off. He smiled with amusement as he watched her body flee in an icy trail of light.

Cain couldn't stop a natural smile from blossoming on his lips.
