Chapter 517: Icy Spirit Core
Chapter 517: Icy Spirit Core
Goaded by Amber, Cain walked right next to the trapped Nether Ice Spirit. His Divine Sense scanned the Spirit, instantly locating its Ice Spirit Core.
It was only natural that the Clones didn’t have an Ice Spirit Core. They were birthed by the original body’s core without any problems or lasting effects.
The Ice Spirit Core was still in perfect condition. Even more so than if Cain were to fight the original body since Amber suppressed it without damaging it.
Cain raised his hand while coating it with Chaos energy. He then plunged his Chaos hand directly where the Nether Ice Spirit Core is located, easily shredding through its body’s innate defenses.
He tore right into the right side of the Nether Ice Spirit’s chest. Pulling his hand back, a trail of icy blue blood sprayed out. In Cain’s palm now was a small icy blue core.
The moment Cain pulled the core out, Amber dispersed her Spirit Webs, causing the Nether Ice Spirit corpse to hit the ground.
At the same time, Cain waved his hand, dispersing the Lightning Barrier around Jin Ya.
Even before she was free, Jin Ya had her attention square on the blue icy core. Energy principles that felt so enthralling, yet so confusing, filled her Spiritual Sea. She even felt shivers tingling in her spines from simply sensing the icy core.
Great intrigue plastered Jin Ya’s face. Her footsteps were slow as she sauntered over, muttering out loud, “So this is a Demonic Dao Spirit Core? It’s far, far better than that of a Dao Beast.”
“Indeed, it is.” Cain subconsciously nodded. Even he felt a draw towards the icy core.
His Spiritual Sea, despite being massively superior to Jin Ya, felt greatly confused by its energy principles. He could only withstand a very small portion of its essence energy.
Clenching down on the icy core, Cain engulfed it into a Lightning Cage and then stored it in his spatial ring.
A crazed idea swirled through Cain’s mind. He was planning on making use of the icy spirit core to finally attain another Dao Law!
Worries about absorbing berserk or destructive energy principles didn’t cross Cain’s mind.
The Dragon Charm plus Chaos energy will make sure all that he absorbs is the purest Ice Law energy principles. There wasn’t any need for him to go to a higher master or wait an extremely long time to make the icy spirit core usable.
But while he had an instant way of purifying the icy spirit core, Cain knows there were no instantaneous means to improve his attainment levels.
Truthfully, if Cain wanted to, he could already comprehend a second Dao Law very easily. His master attainment level would provide Cain with more efficiency of a second Dao Law compare to geniuses like Ren Bao.
However, that wouldn’t satisfy Cain at all. He wanted to already begin the path to perfect control over two Dao Laws. Not only will his personal strength take another major leap, but his understanding of the universe will increase by leaps and bounds.
Nowadays, Cain started to question more about the legitimacy of Divine Mortals.
He could certainly say that only his Chaos energy, Draconic Arts and Soul Form would barely give him an edge over an ordinary Early Divine Ruler.
A genius Divine Ruler like the Divine Decree Lords or the Supreme Elder’s direct disciples, Cain believed it would be a hard-pressed battle.
But this was Cain counting his pre-Holy Land days.
After training in the Lightning Law Field, his lightning energy principles never stopped enhancing. Its density increased by dozens of times and its complexity reached a point where it can severely suppress half-step Divine Rulers with almost too much ease.
Cain didn’t focus on mastering Divine Lightning Law, but on strengthening its foundation beyond all belief.
Even though his Divine Lightning Law was still at the Peak of the Late Stage, a single bolt of his Draconic Lightning alone could severely suppress geniuses like Xu Tao.
If Cain never were to continue this way of training, his prowess wouldn’t have tremendously increased to this point.
However, the thing is, even Holy King Elders admit that increasing the density and complexity of one’s Law energy principles was an immense task.
A top-tier genius either would achieve results at an agonizingly slow pace or simply wouldn’t be able to convert their energy principles at all.
Only Cain, because of his master attainment level and most important of all, his Chaos energy, could directly absorb Lightning Strikes that contain energy principles from far higher cultivation masters.
Chaos energy is a force that Cain knows stands at the very top of the whole universe. He didn’t believe no other force could possibly compare.
And even if there was some force that could, Chaos energy wouldn’t be able to lose out.
All of this just made Cain wonder how could Divine Mortals possibly have two major realm combat prowess even at the Divine Star realm.
Much less the Primal Sovereign and the Heavenly Venerate realm.
With how not a single soul can perceive Chaos energy, Cain simply didn’t believe that other Divine Mortals have the equivalent energy force.
If not, then just how can they gain denser and higher complex energy principles without absolutely ruining their foundation or potentially their lives?
Cain found the whole mythos around Divine Mortals increasingly suspicious. Thus, he wanted to make us as many advantages as possible to actually live up to that legendary standard of Divine Mortals.
All of it will truly start once Cain reaches quasi-grandmaster attainment level in both the Heaven and Earth path and the Source Law path.
Quasi-grandmaster attainment level would be the first gateway to reaching the Spiritual Sea perception ability standard to perfectly master two Dao Laws.
Cain didn’t have to worry about his soul because of the Divine Seal Art combined with the Soul Nourishment Art.
Really, the only concern on Cain’s mind now was the time he’ll need to improve his attainment level from the Primal Soverigen’s Spiritual Sea Cores.
He and Amber put all of their time into their cultivation base that had yet to improve on their fundamentals.
As plans formed in Cain’s mind, he looked back over to Jin Ya. Slight shock colored his face as he observed traces of Water Law’s essence of a darker closer sparkling from Jin Ya’s pupils.
Cain nodded with a smile. “It appears you must’ve grasped some things from our battle?”
Jin Ya didn’t promptly reply. She took a deep breath, exhaling a pure wave of Water Law essence. Her breath had quite literally taken on a darker blue color.
Her palm opened and a swirl of Water Law essence formed, taking the shape of a small water essence ball. Vibrant Water Law energy principles that were both denser and higher in complexity rippled from the water essence ball.
Cain’s and Amber’s eyes lit up. This time, Amber spoke out in genuine praise. “So you managed to improve your fundamentals by at least four times by simply studying us with your Divine Sense? A classic case of a cultivation nut, but one deserving of some praise.”
For a moment, Jin Ya felt startled. Her Water Law essence nearly dispersed from her palm.
For all the time she interacted with Amber, never once had she told something encouraging until now. It almost felt surreal to her. Like gaining approval that she didn’t know she even needed.
Cain similarly spoke his praise. “Indeed. Continue on this path, and you’ll start treading on the path of becoming a King Tier genius.”
The duo’s honest words made Jin Ya actually sheepishly smile. As she dispersed her Water Law, she humbly said, “You two praise me too much. This is only a minor achievement overall. If I want to live up to your praise, I’ll need to put extra more work than I do now.”
Cain lightly chuckled. “It’s even better that you realize that. Alright, now that we’re done here, let’s head home. Because this was Elder Heng’s personal mission, we don’t need to do any troublesome extra steps.”
Taking the lead, Cain began causally strolling right back on the same route he came from.
His Chaos Soul Sense did a very brief scan of the area. He was a bit surprised and a bit disappointed that there wasn’t anyone around that took note of their battle.
It wasn’t exactly a secret that he was going on a mission from a high Elder. Moreover, Cain didn’t cover up nearly as much as he did on his other outings.
He used Chaotic teleportation, but those who wanted to know would be aware that he wanted to the famous jungle region that holds the Lake of Stars. It wouldn’t be too difficult to follow behind his lead, provided they have the right cultivation.
Cain half expected Wen Shao and Wen Dao to take advantage of this. They wouldn’t be able to order any Divine Ruler Elders to come and strike them down. But it would be possible to send out cultivators who excel at masking their Divine Aura.
Cain was mainly concerned as these Divine Decree Lords still haven’t made any attempt to contact them for the weeks he and Amber had been here. It was almost like they were ignoring them entirely.
Their lack of response left Cain more cautious than relaxed.
Still, if they were going to play the extremely long game, Cain had no problem utilizing all of his time to diligently improve his group.
As thoughts swirled in his mind and conversation ensured in their group, Cain led the girls back to Cloudsea Holy Land.
…
A few weeks passed quickly.
During this period of time, everyone in Cain’s group was making significant progress.
The person with the biggest progress had to be Jin Ya. Ever since her mission with the duo, she trained herself to the bone.
Cain remarked it was the hardest he saw Jin Ya being focused. All of that hard work paid off in the end.
With ease, Jin Ya had actually managed to breakthrough into Middle Great Divine Sea! Her prowess took a substantial leap forward. It couldn’t be even compared to the time she first join the Holy Land.
Days later, after her breakthrough, Jin Ya challenged a talented Late Stage Great Divine Sea genius and won within three moves!
The battle was recorded and Cain had shown up for it, causing many other disciples to pay noticeable attention.
The ease Jin Ya had when fighting led many to speculate that she could potentially challenge peak Late Great Divine Sea geniuses and win.
Though Cloudsea only takes exceptional disciples, there was still a disparity among the exceptional.
Jin Ya was finally taking steps to stand among all other exceptional disciples and become a genius worthy enough to stand on her feet.
