Chapter 411: Ranked Number 1
Chapter 411: Ranked Number 1
Amber’s bountiful chest heaved in slight excitement. It was like witnessing Cain’s miracles could never cease to amaze her.
After all, this seemingly looking lightning barrier was far more special if one inspected their Divine Sense over it.
Amber recalled studying how domain-type skills are honestly difficult to create and even harder to master. One’s control over Divine Qi and their Divine Laws not only has to be high but also at the same level. They need to perfectly fuse the two energies into a bigger energy field that holds a confusing mixture of all various sorts of principles.
If one can achieve this step, they would successfully form their domain.
From what Amber remembers, even a weak, self-created domain requires a few dozen or perhaps even hundreds of years of practice!
Domain Arts from higher realm cultivators practically cost someone to use most of their lifespan just to gain a sliver of understanding.
But what would be impossible for others couldn’t stall Cain at all. He once again surpassed the common norms of all geniuses.
In the midst of Amber’s thoughts, a wave of immense power assaulted her senses. Her pupils heavily contracted under this new wave of Law aura.
Cain’s Lightning Domain had fully manifested into reality. Upon completion, a blinding glow illuminated the entire courtyard!
At the same time, the power of Cain’s Divine Lightning Laws took tremendous leaps forward. This no longer contained Early Stage Lightning Law essence but rather its Middle Stages!
50% of Divine Lightning Law essence fused into every inch of Cain’s internal body and Inner World within seconds. His Law essence Marks completely fueled up with Middle Stage Divine Lightning Law essence.
A few moments later, Cain clenched his hand and instantly recalled his Law powers.
One moment, it seemed as if the god of lightning had descended upon the field, Draconic Lightning was furiously thundering about like a chaotic storm.
But in the very next moment, everything returned to a tranquil calm.
All lightning essence around Cain instantly vanished. His eyes returned to their usual eerie black glow, and his lips curved into a faint smile of satisfaction.
50% of Divine Lightning Laws!
The power coursing through Cain made him feel genuinely elated. He didn’t expect the power difference between the Early and Middle Stages to be so grand.
If he had Middle Stage Divine Laws during Lei Bi’s duel, Cain fathoms that he would have only needed his Draconic Lightning Aura to overwhelm her.
Such a thought made Cain’s fighting intent. He needed far better challenges than mere Great Divine Sea warriors.
At this time, Amber had already inched close to Cain. She appraisingly nodded, saying with pride, “As expected of my man. I’ve heard that just going from Early to the Middle Stages along takes even geniuses like Lei Bi at least hundreds of years. You know, all that inspiration and experiences stuff.”
Though she spoke lightly of it, Cain’s more than aware that natural Law inspirations weren’t anything to take lightly. This process was a Divine cultivator communing with Heaven and Earth and the Great Daos.
Communing with either path can’t come from simply sitting inside close-door cultivation. Most of the time, one has to wander the boundless Heaven, experiencing the Laws fused into the universe that have been around since immemorial time.
These inspirations fundamentally shape any Divine realm cultivator’s mental state.
The process of how one changes greatly varies from one to another. But in the end, their Divine Will enhances by several magnitudes.
One will start to truly understand what it means to be Divine.
For Cain, his Divine Will was as determined as it can be. Even before coming to this universe, he was demented enough to believe another dimension existed from ordinary earth.
His studious mindset made it very smooth for him to commune with the Heaven and Earth and the Great Daos.
Thinking of all of this, Cain causally smiled. “I suppose Lei Bi’s Thunder Domain was enough inspiration for me. Speaking off…”
Cain leveled a pointed gaze at Amber. “You also need to reach the Middle Stages soon. You’re about probably a good amount stronger than Lei Bi, but it always doesn’t hurt to have more strength.”
Amber rolled her eyes while sighing. “Personally, I think where am I is good enough. Besides, I want to reach Gold-class Spirit energy as soon as possible. Who knows? Golden Spirit energy can prove more useful than outright combat prowess.”
“Maybe…but-”
Before Cain could finish his thought, a purple flash glowed through his clothes. Digging into the flash, he pulled out Tun Hao’s contact ring.
Amber curiously furrowed her brows. “They’re calling again, huh? Want to go this time? You finally reached your breakthrough, and I doubt you can make another in a short time.”
“Oh?” Cain smiled in amusement. “Since when does socializing seem like a good idea to you?”
Amber crossed her arms with an indifferent expression. “Oh? And you should already know that it will just mainly be you doing the talking. Besides, I’ve been thinking. Even if we can beat Early Stages Divine Star, it will be quite some time before we can even face Peak Divine Star experts. Better to get in good graces with the higher-ups for more resources. And because of the World Spirit Masters here, I’m hoping they also have better Spirit resources.”
She certainly held a well-thought-out plan. At the very least, it was a sound idea to wring the most benefits that they can.
Cain pondered it over for a few moments, not being able to see any real disadvantages about sparing extra times like this.
With a shrug, he silently agreed, picking up and interjecting soul energy into Tun Hao’s contact ring.
Soon enough, her familiar voice coursed through Cain’s mind.
‘Ah! So glad Sir Lee managed to pick up this time. You know, you’re quite the man to get a hold of.’
‘Maybe. I’ve simply been busy with close-door cultivation. But now that I’ve just finished, my schedule is pretty open now,’ Cain causally said.
That invitation set a jolt through Tun Hao’s mind. It evidently affected her tone as sounded noticeably more eager. ‘That’s great! If Sir and Miss Xun don’t mind, we would like to invite you over to our faction for a nice set of tea.’
Cain started to reply, but a nagging feeling kept pricking his mind. He couldn’t help but ask, ‘Before I agree, if you don’t mind me asking, just why are you so eager for us to visit? I would have expected a faction so high up on the rankings to be tenser with us.’
‘Mn. That’s certainly true. For young master Ling, Pue, and Fei, all of the higher ranks, they are more or less openly hostile towards each other and the rest of us. But, our young master Lei truly has a broad mind. He is a very decisive man and only moves when he can see a good amount of value in something. And of course, Sir Lee and Miss Xun hold more value than any other person or some kind of powerful magical tool. Thus, we hope to establish good connections over this tea.’
Tun Hao honestly spoke. Everything she said, she seemed genuinely convinced. There wasn’t any slip in her tone.
‘If that’s the case, then I suppose it would be good to meet up. How about tomorrow? When we get close to your faction, we will ping you.’
‘Excellent! We will go and prepare right away. I look forward to tomorrow, Sir Lee.’
Most likely from being incredibly hyped up, Tun Hao didn’t waste a moment longer, shutting off the contact ring instantly.
She had so much eagerness that Cain could still feel the lingering effects even after the call.
Shaking his head, he turned over to Amber and explained, “Apparently, this Zhou Lei sees immense value in us and has an open mind. Who knows how true that statement is, but at least no complications should arise during the meeting. Well, even if something does happen, it won’t be enough to threaten us.”
“Since it’s decided, let’s get to relaxing. I’m sure a cultivation nut needs some down time after hard at work for days.” Amber latched herself onto Cain’s arms.
Feeling heavenly soft mounds, Cain let out a small grunt in agreement and prepared to enjoy the rest of their day.
…
In the direct descendant royal chambers.
High above all other chambers, to be as isolated as possible contains perhaps the most important person to the Zhou Family.
? This person was a handsome young man who carried a picture-perfect scholarly vibe. His soft, gentle face and fairer skin made him seem more feminine than anything. He didn’t appear like the person who enjoys the brutal tides that come with being a Martial cultivator.
However, despite his appearance, this young man had already reached the Divine Star realm! His Divine Aura already has traces of powerful Laws infused into it.
An expert on this level could be a high-ranking Elder in some first-rate sect. This would be a person who lived for thousands of years already.
Yet this young man achieved the Divine Star realm in half the time.
He was the Zhou Family’s number 1 ranked descendent and genius, Zhou Pue. The only other direct descendent who even has fellow Divine Star experts working under his faction.
