Chapter 460: Meeting Jiang Ling
Chapter 460: Meeting Jiang Ling
The mysterious melody of the Fortune restaurant truly did have such wonderful effects that no cultivator dining could possibly ignore.
It was inevitable given the far harsher environment of the God Galaxies, but Divine Realm cultivators tend to come as colder, more indifferent to worldly affairs than their mortal counterparts.
This was just the common nature of those who went off to forge their Divine Will and complete their Divine Ascension. Naturally, it didn’t mean that a Divine Will caused a complete personality shift. But, the average Divine realm cultivator’s wisdom and intelligence actively increase, giving them more hindsight of the world around them.
But as Cain and Amber looked around the Fortune restaurant, none of that high wisdom or intelligent hindsight could be seen. Nearly everyone wore a completely relaxed expression, and some had even withdrawn their Divine Aura, appearing as ordinary as a mortal.
Cain and Amber felt it was considerably surprising, as some of these cultivators were ancient old masters.
But it didn’t matter the level of the cultivator, the melody bypassed all Spiritual Sea’s innate protections, affecting everyone on a soulful level.
Although Cain and Amber’s souls were massively superior to even ancient old masters, they weren’t spared from feeling a little engrossed.
Cain was especially surprised, as this was his first time hearing music since coming to this universe. Recalling his memories, nothing that he heard in his previous homeworld could compare to this mesmerizing melody.
As expected, cultivators’ melodies completely triumph over any mortal melody. There were distinct energy principles within the melody, producing an otherworldly effect for everyone listening in.
Cain briefly thought about it, faintly recalling that there are other undeveloped and rare Laws Paths, such as the one concerning Sound Laws.
The Dao of Music had to be an auxiliary path that has great connections to the soul, thus producing mesmerizing effects such as this melody.
Before Cain got too lost in his thoughts, Amber suddenly pulled his hand and quickly transmitted, ‘Let’s hurry to that Jiang Ling. Too many eyes on us.’
Briefly scanning the room, Cain did notice rather intent stares being cast upon them.
Many Divine Senses were discreet, as if not wanting to offend the duo. But others simply didn’t give any face. They fully swept over the duo before retracting back into their own bodies.
Naturally, these Divine Senses belong to the high-class cultivators, the Divine Rulers masters!
At least they can afford to be more blatant in their observation given their cultivation realms.
The Divine Sense of a master like a Divine Ruler would produce an inevitable pressure for anyone weaker than them. It was the simple fact that their Spiritual Sea has undergone fundamental evolutions that put their abilities in practically another world.
But despite the massive increase in ability, the Divine Rulers masters couldn’t detect anything noticeable from Cain and Amber. Even to them, those youths appeared completely mysterious.
Because all those there already know of Cain and Amber’s background, no Divine Ruler master went too far from their initial observation.
Although, even while under Divine Ruler’s scrutiny, Cain and Amber’s expressions didn’t even twitch. The duo calmly strolled up to the front desk with an unforgettable elegance.
Cain was about to speak to the receptionist when one bold person swiftly landed by their sides.
Recognizing this familiar Divine Aura, the duo turned over to see the elegantly handsome Jiang Ling.
A bright smile lit Jiang Ling’s face. He approvingly nodded, eagerly saying, “Ah, so nice of you two to come! Once you get through the initial shift, this place is quite nice, no?”
Cain and Amber indifferently nodded, with Cain saying, “The decor is up to standards. And I have to say, the music, more than anything, really grabs your attention.”
“Oh? So appreciate it as well?” Jiang Ling nodded with a pleased expression. “Not too many notices, or particularly care, but the ones playing have great attainment with the Dao of Sound. While not known for their combat prowess, their supporting effects are quite potent.”
For a brief moment, Cain was a bit curious about just the cultivation realm of those music cultivators. Their melodies are even affecting Divine Rulers after all.
Before anything else, Cain asked, “Do you happen to know the cultivation of these musicians? Their Laws seem to just bypass innate defenses.”
“Ah, it is impressive at first glance, but not overly so. If anyone one of us were to simply use our Inner World, we could efficiently ward off the Sound Principles. Although, some of the music cultivators here have truly profound attainment of their Daos, allowing them to affect people far above their cultivation realm. While not as nearly as sought out as World Spirit Masters, these cultivators still prove their great worth.”
As Jiang Ling finished explaining, he nudged his head, inclining Cain and Amber to follow him.
Jiang Ling’s status is obviously well-known, thus no servant or staff dare to stop him, from inviting more guests to his table.
While walking over, Cain and Amber could feel the intent stares increase. The two Emperor Tier geniuses and a famous Holy Land genius are not only meeting but appear to have friendly relations with each other!
“It would only make sense these heavenly geniuses would form connections with each other. Even I would find it a dream to work with a person like Cloudsea’s Jiang Ling.”
“Just look at how close they are to each other. Neither of them is flaunting anything. They truly put themselves on the same level as one another.” “Given Jiang Ling’s background, it seems the faction of Cloudsea Divine Decree Lord is about to receive a tremendous upgrade.”
Cultivators and World Spirit Masters, young and old, erupted into discussions. Some of them used sound transmissions.
While the more reckless ones openly spoke, knowing fully well whatever their volume was, Cain, Amber, and Jiang Ling would be able to hear them.
Naturally, just this little meeting between them alone was worthy enough to be spread across intelligence networks. People were quick to make the connections between both sides and that Cain’s group may perhaps be linked to a Divine Decree Lord.
Still, since nobody dared to bother with them, neither Cain nor Amber minded the attention.
Cain even saw this as an opportunity to bolster their fame and later reap some benefits.
At this time, the trio were all seated, Cain and Amber sitting together and across from Jiang Ling.
With a beaming smile, Jiang Ling said, “So, let’s not dance around each other, shall we? I can tell that you two much prefer this method, right? Always upfront with unending confidence.”
The duo’s disposition was evident for a critical person like Jiang Ling. In all of their public appearances, neither of them spared that much words before getting down to action. Even with Du Hu, she only exchanges a few lines with Cain before her demise.
With straightforward people like this, Jiang Ling knew he needs to be decisive.
Cain calmly nodded. “Yes, this way is much simpler. So? I’m faintly aware that your Divine Decree Lord may have an interest in us, right?”
“That is indeed true. I’m more than sure you two are aware of the value of Emperor Tier geniuses. With recent Divine Mortals mysteriously disappearing and the old ones already in the large success of their cultivation, Emperor geniuses are the supremes. Lord Wen Dao is very much fascinated by your talents, achievements, and overall decisive character. We believe a partnership between us will benefit everyone greatly.” Jiang Ling had an elegant flow to his voice.
His words contained natural praises that could stir the hearts of whoever listening in. Even down to his Divine Aura, did it exude a gentle presence that seemed to welcome all who engaged with him.
But naturally, neither Cain nor Amber were swayed at all. His brows slightly furrowed as Cain asked, “You say we, but why haven’t Divine Decree Lord Wen Dao come to personally meet us if we hold so much value? Forgive my bluntness, but I’m sure he can save a few seconds for even people like us.”
Truthfully, the fact that Jiang Ling was coming to personally meet them would be an immense sign of respect, at least to other Holy Land geniuses.
After all, Jiang Ling wasn’t some random nobody, but a grand genius who is superior to all other Divine Star geniuses! He was just a fine line away from the Divine Ruler’s realm himself.
Nobody would even dream about offending Jiang Ling right to his face.
Yet, Jiang Ling didn’t even become annoyed at Cain’s slight displeasure. His calm didn’t change as he said, “Truthfully, Lord Wen Dao would’ve taken the time for a meeting if complications weren’t hindering him. Lord Wen Dao is in the middle of critical closed-door cultivation, steps away from making an important breakthrough. He needs this kind of haste because of his brother and a certain inheritance legacy opening. The legacy opening is actually numerous times more dangerous than Lord Wen Dao’s brother. In there, he will face direct pressure from other powerful Divine Decree Lords and the traps slumbering within the legacy. But though I gave all of these excuses, I know you two won’t simply accept this. Thus, when you two do join the Cloudsea Holy Land, I will be able to step up a meeting with Lord Wen Dao’s phantom. His close-door cultivation can still continue and our partnership can directly strengthen. How does it sound?”
Throughout the entire explanation, Cain and Amber remained silent. Their gazes didn’t betray anything as they seriously contemplated Jiang Ling’s words.
