Chapter 388: Lake Of Stars
Once in Flame City, the duo promptly set off to an information-gathering tavern, paid the necessary amount for information, and took the time to digest everything.
They sat at one of the empty tables around, simultaneously keeping their senses focus on anyone special to come through.
Amber relied on the bloodline power within her nose. While Cain used his Chaos Enhanced Sense for anybody with a particularly powerful foundation.
While keeping a lookout, they sorted the information flowing through their minds.
Not too far from Flame City, around 5,000 thousand miles was one of the top first-rate Cities of the entire Wintry World.
Sky Bless City.
Over there was where the competition for survival reached its brutal peak. Basically, one would be hard be pressed to find an average cultivator within the city.
This wasn’t even an arrogant exaggeration. The qualification to enter Sky Bless City if one is a rogue cultivator requires them to be either Extreme Great Divine Sea warriors or a perfection layer red-class World Spirit Master!
Red-class World Spirit Masters are basically common knowledge of how scarce they were.
As for the Extreme Stage of the Great Divine Sea realm, that also requires a great amount of Martial talent. Converting Inner World essence marks becomes slower and needs high Spiritual Sea perception to even undergo the process.
Moreover, there’s also the process of obtaining resources that can continually nurture the vitality of the Inner World and its essence Marks.
Rouge cultivators have problems reaching just Early Great Divine Sea because of the scarcity of resources. Even second-class Sects with a Divine Ruler backing experience trouble raising Great Divine Sea geniuses. And these sects would be loaded with resources.
Thus, the rogue cultivators who can enter Sky Bless city would promptly catch the eye of anyone.
The cultivators entering can also find a great opportunity for themselves.
Sky Bless City has the Big Two as its most powerful Sects. One was the Arctic Ice Palace while the other was the Cloudsea Holy Land.
These Holy Land’s backing can still send chills through the duo’s souls. As both Holy Land have a Primal Sovereign background!
The Primal Sovereign realm, the great dividing realm that separates special geniuses from the peak-tier geniuses!
Great legends are told about anyone who reached the Primal Sovereign realm.
Cain could even recall one tale about a Primal Sovereign that can easily split apart a planet with a diameter of at least 10,000 miles!
And this planet was situated in the God Galaxy space. Meaning the planet had far tougher World Source Laws and world energy compared to any mortal planet.
For a Primal Sovereign to split apart this planet, their striking prowess is utterly unfathomable!
Naturally, Cain and Amber felt some trepidation about those Holy Lands. However, they weren’t in the condition where they could casually choose their backings.
The only other way to even enter into Cloudsea is by also gaining a badge of identification from the surrounding Martial Families of his dream.
The top Martial Families would be Zhou, Tian, and Feng. Each of them was a bit less exaggerated than the top sects. However, their backgrounds still hail from the grand Holy Kings.
While not on the Primal Sovereign level of power, Holy Kings are still Holy Kings. Their prowess couldn’t be looked down on and is much more common than an average Primal Sovereign expert.
They are highly valuable no matter the Holy Land.
Thus, even in a first-rate city with overloads like Cloudsea Holy Land, these Martial Families can still command a certain level of authority.
Any of these families can easily grant outsiders badges into Sky Bless City.
The duo felt much more confident in taking on the Martial Families. Their current abilities will be highly valuable to any of these families.
Just as Cain went over the information about Martial Families, his Chaos-enhanced sense alerted him to a critical aura. He silently poured out more soul energy into his Spiritual Sea, expanding his range.
At another corner of the tavern, four people, masked by their hats, gathered together. They appeared ordinary, however, their auras were greatly restrained.
Many other Divine cultivators ignored them. Even Chao would have ignored them if not for his Chaos-enhanced sense.
Closing his eyes, Chao honed in on their conversations. Thankfully, they were speaking out loud than a Qi transmission.
One voice said, “The information has all been verified. We even learn there have been other legends attempting their luck over there.”
Another voice replied, “Mn. Perfect. With this, our status can greatly rise. Rather than working myself to no end, this way is much smoother and less risky. I still haven’t heard back from my brother in over a few days now.”
Cutting his senses off from them, Chao sent a Qi transmission to Amber. ‘I just detected the presence of the Zhou family here. One of them, in particular, carried the same bloodline aura as that Zhou Ming fellow. I’m thinking we should follow once again and test our luck. This is one of the major families in Sky Bless City.’
Amber needed only a moment to think. She then nodded, replying with, ‘Mn. Let’s go. Admittedly, I’m a bit excited to see where we lie. Or, I should say, where your crazy prowess ended up now.’
With the plan formed, Cain and Amber patiently waited until the Zhou Family group prepared to leave.
Several minutes later, Cain detected the group silently leaving the tavern. This group started to rapidly fly away, crossing several miles in a few seconds.
Cain was thankful his soul cultivation was enhanced by a tremendous amount. Because of it, with his Chaos-enhanced sense, his detection range monstrously increased.
A few miles out and Cain could still lock on the Zhou group auras.
Cain didn’t wait any longer. Silently casting Chaotic Concleament on him and Amber, the duo also sneakily left the tavern and stayed on the ground as they followed the Zhou group.
In total, Cain sensed three Great Divine Sea warriors and one 4thfall Divine Origin aura. This group’s flight speed was fast, but not at an overwhelming level.
In fact, Cain and Amber had an easy time keeping pace with Early Stages Great Divine Sea warriors’ flight speed.
Cain and Amber eventually flew into the forestry area of Wintry’s grassy plains. They flew deeper into the area, crossing hundreds of miles within only a few minutes.
Because of Chaotic Conceleament, the duo was safe from any other Dao beast’s detection. And even if they were spotted, their speed was fast enough that no Dao beast could fully see them.
At this time, the Zhou group stayed a few meters above the forestry area, allowing them to also evade any Dao beast.
The duo had to follow behind a weird path. They took many twists and turns to the point it felt like they were going in circles.
If not for Chaos energy, Cain was sure he would’ve lost these guys long ago.
The duo didn’t think there would be anything else but tailing behind.
However, at some time during their tailing, Cain’s Chaos senses detected several other faint auras tailing behind the Zhou group.
This greatly intrigued Cain for a couple of reasons. One being that this exploration won’t be so simple after all.
These faint auras weren’t weak at all. Two of them felt countless times more powerful than anyone in the Zhou group.
But above this, Cain felt greatly surprised at the fact he could perceive Divine auras exceeding the Great Divine Sea realm!
Back then, with a Spirit Sense infused with Chaos energy, he could just barely detect peak Great Divine Sea.
With a Divine Sense, Cain’s limit is only average Great Divine Sea warriors. Now, with his Chaos sense, Cain’s limit actually exceeded two realms!
Naturally, this can’t be applied to combat prowess. But for comprehension of arts, Divine essence, or Law essence, Cain’s speed will take a tremendous leap forward.
His Spiritual Sea, at its very limit, can comprehend at an ever greater lightning-speed pace.
Furthermore, in battle, the rate of his thoughts will see a speed boost. Meaning, that his reaction time would become greater and his enemies will become slower in his eyes.
Cain was elated at this prospect. But he didn’t forget his current objective. He informed Amber, ‘Stay alert. Other auras are following behind the Zhou group expertly. We may have a great opportunity on our hands.’
Amber silently nodded while also feeling a bit surprised Cain’s senses had enhanced this much. They didn’t even fight yet, but already she was impressed.
After around twenty minutes of this confusing path, the Zhou group finally stopped.
Cain and Amber quickly hid in a large shrub, adjusted their position, and looked out to survey the situation.
A group of four silently drooped down into the forestry area. They were all handsome men wearing the Zhou family-designed robes.
The youth in the middle wore robes of a similar quality to Zhou Ming. As they landed, their attention stayed directly on something on the ground.
Briefly glancing over to where they were looking, Cain felt a small surge of shock.
A wide body of water that stretched on for several hundred yards took home in the forestry area.
Despite the strangeness of its location, the water didn’t particularly stand out. It held zero distinct qualities that other Divine realm bodies of water have.
Cain could barely detect the presence of Divine essence in the water. On his own, he would have directly ignored this sight. However, since the Zhou group was showing great interest, Cain assumed some great treasure was down there.
His Chaos-enhanced sense flowed out, picking up on the Zhou group conversation.
“The lake of stars…it is really is so deceptive looking. If not for Spirit Master Ling, we would’ve been completely clueless about the great treasures lying beneath its ordinary exterior.” The youth in the middle commented.
The other Great Divine Sea experts had pondering expressions. One of them said, “Still, it isn’t as if we can just casually go in. If we’re not careful, we could end up triggering something very deadly for all of us.”
When he finished speaking, Cain faintly smile. ‘Seems like the action will start now.’
