Chapter 320: Breaching Sacred Sage
“Now then, a backup plan we need to immediately start on is life-saving Spirit Artifacts. I understand that the expenses are considerably large, and there are no cheap World Spirit Masters, but it’s more than worth it. Even I can’t possibly predict everything. Any disagreement?” Shi Wei openly asked.
Huang Laolong spoke first. “The most effective life-saving Spirit Artifacts would be something infused with our purest blood essence. But, if we use it, the time it would take to regenerate is considerably long. Moreover, our combat prowess will receive a noticeable dip. Should we all take the risk?”
Shi Wei suddenly looked more confident than ever as she answered, “We, of course, won’t use too much purest blood essence or will go under hot water. But, I do have a means in which we can rapidly regenerate purest blood essence within just short years or perhaps even months.”
The Huang Dragons’ eyes brightly shined over this prospect. It wasn’t as if they felt discontent with making sacrifices, but rather the prices they would have to pay would heavily cost them in a broader sense.
Any sign of weakness can be preyed upon both externally and internally. And extracting blood essence would sometimes have severe adverse effects such as lowering one’s combat prowess by at least twenty times!
Thus Shi Wei’s prospect was very enticing to each of them.
With all on the same page, Shi Wei continues to say, “While we prepare for this, I will conclude little Cain, Kali, and Amber’s training to the peak of Mortalhood. After that, they can officially engage in the contest to go to the sea realm.”
Like lightning struck them, Huang Laolong, Dilong, and Song Lin perked up. Their eyes widen in genuine surprise as sudden memories remerge.
“That’s right. We were very close in holding the competition for who gets to go to the sea realm!” Huang Dilong exclaimed. And only moments later, his expression quickly dropped.
“Cain and Kali are only Early Stage Sky Sages, and yet they have around top-tier 1stFall Divine Origin prowess. By the Sacred Sage realm, not even long’er would be able to stand against them…and he held the number one position for so long. Everything really changed so quickly.”
Huang Dilong could only sigh with complex emotions. His own proud and favored son is now incredibly inferior to two of his brother’s children.
He only hopes Zilong can grow from this situation and not get too discouraged.
“By this point, it’s expected that Cain and Kali will reach the top position easily. This is more than praiseworthy.” Huang Laolong attempted to sound hopeful, but a certain sense of desolateness pricked in his tone.
When Song Lin opened her mouth to add to the discussion, she suddenly picked up on something the others didn’t. “Senior Wei, you mentioned Amber as well? Is her combat prowess beyond what we believed?”
Towards this lover of her son, Song Lin wasn’t sure what to think of her. She really only caught glimpses of her and what she saw was a personality type that didn’t fit in with the common determined Huang Dragon.
But still, because she is being fostered by Shi Wei and has Yin-yang Dragon essence within her soul, Song Lin wasn’t going to disdain her. She now clearly knows where underestimating can potentially lead to.
Shi Wei nodded towards Song Lin, saying, “Little Amber is quite the reclusive and focused one. She mainly cares about the path of Spirit energy. However, in terms of prowess, she’s not lacking at all. Now then, let’s make haste with everything. These times are quite the precarious ones. We can’t let the unexpected take us.”
“Right.” The Huang Dragons nodded before quickly dispersing, each of them filled with complex thoughts of their mysterious future.
….
Several days quickly passed.
The Huang Dragon hidden world was still in the bustling state, with everyone’s mind still recalling two great gifts that had sprouted days ago.
The older generation was hopeful for the future, while the younger generation pushed themselves hard in order to not bring shame to their ancestors.
During this time, Cain, Kali, and Amber were leisurely cultivating.
Even just under a normal God Galaxy environment, their cultivation was far superior to the average genius.
By now, the trio was close to reaching peak Early Stage Sky Ruler.
Beyond cultivating, Cain would either spend his days relaxing with Amber, talking with Huang Xun, or sparring with Kali.
Out of the three, he was most surprised by the fact that Huang Xun was pleasant to talk to.
Kali is extremely blunt in how she speaks, while Amber prefers to listen or discuss all things about World Spirit Masters.
On the other hand, Huang Xun can easily match Cain’s pace and have a wide array of knowledge on numerous topics.
It was surprising to see that Huang Xun likes to branch out, considering she poses as another determined cultivator with cultivation as her highest priority.
But Cain also realized that Huang Xun was in her mid-20s.
That age, on the surface, seemed young, but when looking into the life experiences she had to go through as a God Galaxy genius, she far surpassed any other young adult in the lower realm.
She especially far surpassed the experiences a young adult would go through in Cain’s previous homeworld.
It was plain to see that Huang Xun was making a great effort to mend their relationship.
And as Cain simply didn’t care at all about the past, he was willing to slowly grow closer to Huang Xun.
Naturally, his guards would always be subconsciously up around her. But the fact he’s giving it a chance spoke volumes to Huang Xun.
As of today, Cain wasn’t going to spend his time leisurely cultivating.
Just earlier, Shi Wei had informed him and the girls that it was time to reach the peak of Mortalhood.
Because they can’t use the Nightmare realm at this moment, Shi Wei improvised, planning to fuse the small vial of Heavenly energy she obtained into the Dragon Celestial Pool.
If this was any other method, Shi Wei wouldn’t dare to risk it because of the risk of worsening the trio’s foundation.
However, because it will be yet again Heavenly energy fusing into their bodies, there would be no problem no matter how much Cain, Kali, and Amber’s cultivation quickly increase.
Moreover, their foundation will yet again rise from the magical effects of Heavenly energy.
Thus, Cain, Kali, and Amber were quietly standing in front of the Dragon Celestial Pool.
Anticipation blazed in their eyes as they recalled the incredible after-sensation of breaking through with Heavenly energy.
Shi Wei stood in front of the trio with the small Heavenly energy vial already in her hands.
She calmly said, “Relax your minds, children. We are starting now.”
After cautiously warning, Shi Wei opened the Heavenly energy vial, causing potent Divine aura fluctuation to spread out like the wind.
She then poured the black stream of Heavenly energy right into the Dragon Celestial Pool.
The Heavenly energy had immediate effects. The once rainbow color Dragon Celestial Pool was now rapidly turning into a deep black color.
Just a small vial of Heavenly energy completely engulfed the large Dragon Celestial Pool within a matter of moments.
It was only to be expected.
The Dragon Celestial Pool at most had Holy King essence fueling its Dao Diagram.
While Heavenly energy is from a genuine genius Heavenly Venerate master’s Dao Diagram. The difference between the two was too massive to even consider comparing.
At this moment, without Shi Wei needing to prompt him, Cain summoned the Chaotic Emerald and instilled soul energy into it, causing a stream of blue light out of the Chaotic Emerald and into the world.
The stream of blue light quickly formed into the soul body of Nightmare Lord.
Of course, this was only just a split portion of Nightmare Lord’s main soul body. But just this split portion was enough to control the Heavenly energy-fused Dragon Celestial Pool.
Nightmare Lord’s split soul instantly got to work. His soul sense penetrated into the Pool and near-instantly gained control of its entire depths.
Raising his hand, Nightmare Lord caused the whole Dragon Celestial Pool to rise out of its pit.
The now black stream Pool essence soon split off into three equal portions and then flowed right into Cain, Kali, and Amber’s bodies.
Going through this process once again, Cain, Kali, and Amber were amply prepared when Heavenly energy fused throughout their bodies.
It still exuded an intense pressure beyond the likes they had ever felt before. But with their recent boost in cultivation, it became slightly easier to deal with.
Moreover, they had experience in how to quickly complete their breakthrough.
Cain poured out streams of soul energy throughout his entire internal body and dantian, stabilizing himself from Heavenly energy’s immense pressure.
At the same time, Heavenly energy once again tremendously enhanced Cain’s body.
His physical capabilities already surpassed that of the Sky Sage realm. And now, it was rapidly surpassing the standard of the Sacred Sage realm.
Heavenly energy had also fused into Cain’s Spiritual Sea, providing incredible nourishment of the likes that surpassed any Soul’s Core absorption.
His Spiritual Sea expanded by the millisecond, increasing the already deep depths of Cain’s mind.
And finally, within his dantian, Heavenly energy fused all throughout the space.
Cain’s Sky Sage Origin Marks quickly formed, near instantaneously increasing to 80 Origin Marks.
Each of these Origin Marks was perfectly fused with Heavenly energy, obtaining the highest quality of Origin energy.
When his 80 Origin Marks completely formed, Cain felt his Spiritual Sea link to the Major Law Dimension.
His consciousness appeared in the colorful dimension and immediately spread out his soul sense.
With Cain’s Heavenly energy enhanced Spiritual Sea, his comprehension grew at least hundreds of times.
Spreading his soul sense throughout the Major Law Dimension felt as if he was walking through a fog with a slightly transparent pathline.
It was a significant step up from the previous sensation that the Major Law Dimension couldn’t be seen through at all.
Soon enough, Cain’s soul sense linked to Major Lightning Law’s essence.
He absorbed a small portion of the essence which caused his comprehension of Major Lightning Law to advance at light-speed levels!
The complexity of Major Lightning Law Life properties was revealed to Cain like an open textbook.
His soul sense penetrated deep into Major Lightning Law’s essence properties, causing him to rapidly break through each comprehension stage.
