Chapter 532: The Direct Disciples’ Thoughts

As Elder Xi explained, Cain and Amber appeared to be calmly listening. But a thought struck their minds. Before reaching quasi-grandmaster attainment, the duo was confident that Cain could already at least fight an Early Divine Ruler without being completely helpless.

Cain and Amber didn’t think this was arrogant. The duo knew full well that Amber would be helpless against a Divine Ruler pre-Holy Land days.

But with Chaos energy, Cain was sure he can match the power of Supreme Divine Laws and a Dao Origin at that time.

Of course, he still has yet to fight a full-fledged Divine Ruler. However, he didn’t think this guess was too far off the mark.

The Quasi-grandmaster attainment level did certainly help in assuring his victory over a Divine Ruler. It is also the main reason why Amber can potentially suppress Divine Rulers now.

Moreover, when inevitable confrontations do occur, Cain had the excuse to blame it all on his quasi-grandmaster attainment level and Dragon Swift Sword. They didn’t want to expose their Divine Mortal status yet. Thus, Cain and Amber held their tongues.

Elder Xi continues to say, “I know I have no need to say this, but still, do not believe just because you have quasi-grandmaster attainment levels that you are invincible. There are many other terrifying geniuses out there. If you wish to rise above them and the background they came from, you will need to put in the work. Luckily for you two, your luck, talent, and potential are already at exceedingly high levels. All that is left is to experience a growth spurt.”

“For now, we will refine your fundamentals. Better perception abilities will make making it past the Dao Tribulation much smoother. Perhaps you will even be able to control the essence of the Tribulation. For the rest of the day, you two will study this small lightning world and I will then answer any questions you may have.”

“Yes, Master.” Cain and Amber were just about to get ready to cultivate.

But before they could do so, Elder Xi suddenly tossed over a scroll at Cain.

Catching the scroll, Cain and Amber intently analyzed it. A beautiful silver shine greeted their eyes. Refreshing waves of Dao energy principles caused their minds to instantly feel calmer.

Every Dao rune decorating the scroll made the duo feel an intense pull. As if this was an attraction that spoke directly toward their souls.

Cain looked up, asking Elder Xi, “This is? A general cultivation art for Source Laws?”

“Indeed it is. Have you heard about the Source of Spirit Arts?” When Elder Xi saw the duo nodding, she continue to say, “Then it’s exactly like that. This is called the Source of Dao Art. Highly complex Dao energy principles are meant to significantly enhance Dao Laws and improve your comprehension speed. When you’re alone, I want you two to study this very closely.”

“Oh, and one more thing, as I don’t have any other disciples, you two don’t have to waste time meeting anyone on my side. However, as per ancient rules, you will need to officially meet with at least some of the other direct disciples. One of who I know for sure will come is my sister, who you can refer to as Elder Ma. Out of them all, you don’t need to worry about any trouble from her disciple.”

Nodding, Cain put away the Source of Dao Art. The duo then promptly assimilated into a meditative state. They didn’t surge their Dragon rune marking, but still stimulated their black lightning to around 80%.

Even at 80%, their comprehension speed turned far superior to the likes of Divine Decree Lords.

In another area of the Supreme Elder’s quarters. Through a few transmission arrays, the direct disciples can visit a wonderful land.

The ground here was a bright scenery of multicolor grass. Every light that illuminated the ground sparkled a glow of a Dao rune.

These Dao runes tremendously enhanced the atmosphere, making the place into a sacred ground of cultivation even by high-tier Holy Land standards.

This area seemingly stretched on for miles. There wasn’t any beginning or end here. Boundless and ever-expanding, almost as if it was trying to stimulate the principles of the Great Dao.

At this time, four extreme geniuses of this generation were currently meeting.

A rare sight, to be sure. Between these four would always be a subtle amount of tension. Always wanting to outdo one another, it was rare to find a moment of calmness between them.

But as of now, these four direct disciples didn’t bother with their own personal relationships.

Each of their expressions was slightly serious as they stared at a light projection in the center of them.

One of these geniuses was mysteriously powerful, Senior Brother Han. His presence even seem greater now that he wasn’t dealing with half-step Divine Rulers. The natural bearing of being above the world was amplified to great degrees.

However, this kind of unreachable bearing also exuded from the three other genius disciples.

They all had an engraved sense of pride and arrogance. Rarely would they ever think highly of those in the same generations. Even the Divine Decree Lords can’t amass their full respect. For those in lower cultivations than them, there was no point in considering them.

At this moment, however, the four direct disciples were doing exactly that. Observing two youths with far lower cultivation than them.

Yet none of them could truly hold disdain for what they were observing.

The light projection specifically showcased Cain and Amber completely suppressing the 12 top disciples. Each of them focused on every little motion of the duo’s movement.

Though the recording ring couldn’t exactly replicate the duo’s aura sensations at that time, it still exuded familiar energy principles from them.

Twinges of frustration started to build in most of these direct disciples’ eyes. Thoughts, unwilling thoughts bubbled up within them.

Before anything could develop, Senior Martial Brother Han shook his head. He then calmly said, “Though Yi Jun sounded faintly confident before, I now understand why she didn’t want to come. These two are far beyond my expectations. Too much for my liking. But too unknown for any of us to make any logical conclusion. We’ll need to test them. And since they’re under Supreme Elder Xi, Luo Ran, and Lin Zui, you two would be the best choice.”

His tone was incomparably smooth, bearing the resemblance of a leader.

Senior Martial Brother Han, or his full name, Hao Han, already rectified his judgment of Cain and Amber. Taking them too lax could lead to problems in the near future.

Lin Zui nodded in agreement. “The fact that Elder Xi took them is already huge trouble. But this current talent display only makes them much greater to worry about.”

“Hmph.”

At this point, one of the other direct disciples coldly snorted. A slightly fierce gleam still shimmers in his eyes. He was Ji Zhao, one of the stronger ones and the more decisive of the direct disciples.

He spoke without any fear, saying, “Aren’t you two being too much cautious? Do you all honestly think that talent can overcome the barrier of the Divine Ruler realm? Talent is talent. But, what cultivator can face a Divine Ruler without being a Divine Ruler themselves? Yi Jun didn’t come as she’s completely aware of this fact.”

Both Hao Han and Lin Zui were slightly startled. Previous pride and dream nearly resurfaced in their minds. After all, they are all Divine Rulers!

Cain and Amber may have talent over the moons at this point, but people not in the Divine Ruler realm are rarely, if ever, treated seriously.

The duo should belong in the same category. However, something deep within the direct disciples’ souls made it hard to accept this fact.

At this time, the only woman in the group gave a curious glance over to Ji Zhao. Her expression was completely indifferent, and her eyes exuded a slight chill. Anyone would feel as if they were staring into a spirit of ice from the chilling gleams sparkling in her pupils.

Even Ji Zhao felt a slight shudder through his soul. It didn’t even matter that he was at a similar level to this woman.

This maiden’s name was Lan Ran, and she directly said to Ji Zhao, “Yi Jun is the most narrow-minded and prideful of us. Of course, she didn’t want to see something as shocking as this. Ji Zhao, do really feel that threaten that you want to downplay it this much? You should be aware that Quasi-grandmaster attainment is the realm where anyone can perceive the True Great Dao. Their energy principles, on a fundamental level and in terms of density, are practically equals to Supreme Divine Laws. Are you just going to ignore facts?”

There wasn’t any heat in her tone. All that she said was spoken matter-of-factly.

Something which greatly irked Ji Zhao. His sneer started to deepen. “So what if they are at Quasi-Grandmaster? Supreme Divine Laws obviously are still superior. Furthermore, do they have a Dao Origin? Have they transformed their entire beings from the Thread Essence of the Great Daos in the Starry Heaven Skies? No, they haven’t. This is what separates us from every other being. Our power is of the True Great Dao.”

Lan Rui calmly shrugged. Her tone actually sounded similarly confident despite her proceeding words.

“That may be so, but I won’t underestimate those two at all. It would be far too pitiful if I were to be beaten simply because I cannot check my arrogance. Moreover, don’t you all forget. When we were Late Stages Great Divine Sea cultivators, could we completely suppress half-step Divine Rulers in one move?”

The whole area suddenly turned silent. Complicated emotions flashed through Hao Han, Ji Zhao, and Lin Zui’s eyes. Not a single one of them could say that they were so impressive, while mere Great Divine Sea cultivators.

In fact, none of them could even say they could fight a major realm above their cultivation base!

While they all were geniuses with upper-tier combat prowess, it was more than evident they couldn’t compare to the likes of Emperor tier geniuses in terms of combat prowess.

Lin Zui creased his brows and said, “So, what? Are you not planning on testing the waters with them when we met?”

“Have I said anything like that? I am merely explaining that when we met, I won’t be the one to underestimate them.” Lan Rui calmly explained.

Though internally, her mind truly was disturbed by the presence of Cain and Amber. They, as mighty Divine Rulers who can reign superior over all others and stand on equal footing with Divine Decree Lords, needed to take the duo with the utmost caution.

The direct disciples never felt so strange about a situation. Each of them honestly couldn’t tell. Just how much the future of this Holy Land would change simply because of Cain and Amber?
