"Oh? Quite the reputation, huh?" Cain's smile only grew wider.
"It's no joke. To a Holy Land weaker than us, he had even outright killed an elder late stage Holy King without any regard. And he only suffers a minor injury during the fight. Please brother Cain, you must be careful!" Zexi's tone held evident passion.
Her time with Cain was truly short. And yet, it was full of impactful moments.
Several times did Cain crush overwhelming odds without even blinking his eyes. There were also the risks of him crushing the Divine Decree Lord talents of their Holy Land to help them and himself.
Out of this whole time, Cain could simply walk away. Or he could even demand compensation from Zexi.
Both actions would've made sense and many other cultivators would be glad to act in this way.
However, Cain never asked for anything and only went with the flow. His ethereal temperament, profound strength, and seeming kindness were striking.
It would be hard for beautiful maidens of cultivation to resist.
Cain could certainly see the flowing emotions swirling through Zexi's eyes. In response, he gently grasp Zexi's shoulder and said, "Just calm down. Some talent like Shao or whoever else doesn't stand a chance against me. Now, I'll be going and coming back soon. Don't want to disappoint the ancestors."
"You..." Zexi was a bit speechless. She honestly wishes she could have this type of insurmountable confidence, like Cain.
All she could do was just shake her head with a relenting sigh. "Alright...if brother Cain is so confident, then shall I pray for your victory!"
Cain silently smiled with a nod. Taking an invisible step forward, he teleported through the Void Space and into his first great steps.
...
The regions within the Central Starfield were all expansive, widening up to hundreds of thousands of miles.
The entire atmosphere across the vast region was provided by the faint beacon of Dao lights. Allowing anyone strolling through to be hit with an intense wave of source essence energy.
If not prepared correctly, the atmosphere itself could take away all breath from a weaker cultivator. Their soft fleshly bodies and unstable mind would be far too weak to withstand the pressure of the Central Starfield.
Danger was also present within the vicious Dao beasts and powerful cultivators. Taking any wrong turn can lead to an irreversible situation.
Where one can get murdered, robbed, or even worse, depending on the intention of said foes.
No weak cultivator can casually traverse the Central Starfield on their own. Many commonly form powerful groups to get through.
An immensely expansive divine mountain range was one of such luxurious regions within the Central Starfield.
Dao runes faintly glimmered across the entire mountain range. Lights of the Great Dao surged to the skies, creating an unforgettable spectacle.
Numerous rays of mystical lights rippled all across the space, every beam of light filled with the most dense and complex law principles.
This mountain range official name was the Immortal Heaven Mountain.
At this time, within a random spot in the sky, a faint green light cracked apart space.
Out from the rippling green light stood Cain.
There wasn't any injury or a hint of fatigue on his face. Traveling the lands of the Central Starfield was as simple as walking through the Wintry World.
It didn't matter if the standard of powerhouses had increased. Chaos principles energy could not be matched or detected.
Cain did detect quite a number of Primal Sovereign grandmasters wandering solo or in groups. But none had even taken a glance in his direction.
And with Chaotic Teleportation long-range, Cain didn't take to arrive at Immortal Heaven Mountain.
Cain didn't promptly set out. His Chaos Soul Sense swept out for thousands of miles, instantly detecting various sources of powerful auras. Some peak of divine while a majority held potent Holy Auras.
Cain knew the exact place to go, thanks to the star chart map. But when his Chaos Soul Sense located the area, Holy Auras far more intriguing than the norm swirled his Spiritual Speas.
These masters did a considerable attempt at concealing themselves. Their Holy Auras were tightly restrained, enough to a point where early stage Holy King masters would need to strain themselves to detect them.
Anyone lower would barely be able to see this group's holy lights. Their concealment technique was decent enough. But more than that, this group of Holy Auras were all great geniuses level!
Each of them naturally exuded exceedingly dense and complex law principles. And one of them held the highest dense and complex law principles.
This person reigns supreme not only in the middle stages. But also in the late stages of the Holy King realm!
Cain was quick to understand that this group must hail from a Holy Land and likely have a Divine Decree Lord within them.
Many were coming to the Immortal Heavenly Mountain for the Celestial Beast Fur. Thus, this was worthy enough to investigate.
An invisible step forward tore Cain through space.
He silently reappeared mere hundreds of meters away from this powerful group. Chaotic concealment shielded Cain from all Divine Senses. And the spot he chose expertly hid his body.
Piercing his gaze through space, Cain saw right through this group's spirit formation and spotted five powerful Holy King masters.
These Holy Kings caused a glimmer of killing intent to flicker through Cain's eyes.
All of them were Astral Demons!
The tallest one in the group, who stood like an imposing giant among all mortals, was the one with the deepest Holy Aura. He was the late stage Decree Lord Cain detected.
Not taking any risk, Cain decided to slowly listen in on their conversation. "Senior brother Shao, are you sure there was no need to go in with her? The ancestors made sure to remind us just how precarious this mystic realm is. Whoever made the Celestial Beast Fur was a demented ancestor."
"Mn. We're all-powerful. But there's always a force in number, senior martial brother."
Senior brother Shao, or his real title Lord Shao, didn't hold a hint of worry on his expression. He even gave a casual smile, free of concern. "Stop fretting already. That woman is. Very powerful. Perhaps on an equal level as me. And she has numerous tricks up her sleeve. At this point, she should be far inside already. By the time the realm truly opens, everything will be in our hands. And Moon Order and those Lightning Rocs will be another step closer to being squashed under our thumbs!"
His confident tone and stirring words ignited his martial siblings. They all heightened with eager anticipation.
"That's right! It really is time for us to take front and center of this entire Starfield!"
'Oh?' Cain slightly furrowed his brows.
The content of his mission detailed that the mystic realm leading to the Celestial Beast Fur would only open on this day.
Just how can someone enter already?
It should be near impossible to forcefully enter into a mystic realm created by an ancestor. The only way possible is for that person to have Dao principles power equal to the Heavenly Venerate realm.
And if a Heavenly Venerate were to move, a great disturbance would ripple across the entire land.
Cain narrowed his eyes, piercing his gaze through space. His Chaos Soul Sense completely focused up. Streams of mysterious black lightning glimmered across his forehead as his Black Dragon rune marking emerged.
