Chapter 444 Stylish Return
Zhou Ping expected to at least hear some worry in Cain’s voice. In his mind, Cain was still a Divine Origin cultivator who should at least be a 5thfall great genus.
No matter how densely thick Cain’s Inner World energy is, how could it possibly match the superior Laws of a Divine Star cultivator?
However, none of this stress transferred over to Cain. He had even smiled at Amber, transmitting to her, ‘Hmph. Seems like that Wen Shao and his little minions can’t wait to get to us. For now, we’ll have to call in a favor from Wen Dao to quickly deal with everything.’
Saying the last part left a strange taste in Cain’s mouth. If he was still the same person when he had first come to the God Galaxy, he would have no problem relying on people to get ahead. Without relying on stronger and more intelligent people, he would probably still be a useless, cripple mortal.
However, as his cultivation improves, crossing the Divine Ascension and forging his Divine Will, Cain could safely say he has a great amount of pride in himself.
The pride is both innate to his Dragon god bloodline and his continuous achievements that are quite literally better than over half of the population.
While over half of his achievement came from the Chaotic Emerald fusing into his soul, he still wouldn’t be able to progress so far if not for putting in copious amount of hard work.
All of this is further bolstered by the fact even with no protection and realms away from home, Cain still managed to survive and quickly get stronger even under harsher circumstances.
How could his pride not grow from all of this? But even so, Cain, like many other Divine Realm cultivators, can briefly swallow their pride when the situation needs it.
On the other hand, people Amber, who has such a lack of interest in most things, couldn’t care less about asking for help.
‘Oh? You know, I would say it would just be easier to reject any challenge and let these fools prance around. Really, who cares what anyone has to say as long as they don’t impede our way? But…that beastly Dragon pride within you won’t settle for that. Haaah…oh well.’ Amber mentally shrugged.
She can concede to Cain, but will probably never understand how important pride can be.
After a moment of pause, Amber did crack a small smile as she continued to speak. ‘At least this way, we can get into the Holy Land far quicker, though at the cost of annoyances.’
Smirking himself, Cain transmitted over to Zhou Ping, ‘My mind has already decided. Trust us, you don’t have to worry about this prime genius backing. When we fight, everything will be resolved. In fact, we’ll be taking the front right when we arrive. Come meet us when we arrive.’
‘Right when you-wait wh-‘
Before Zhou Ping could launch his questions, Cain already cut off the contact ring line.
A faint sense of anticipation surged through Cain and even Amber, just slightly. The duo knows a great battle, one that will sweep through Sky Bless City, is inevitable.𝗈𝑣𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t
At this moment, Amber curled her brows as she transmitted, ‘Say, with how many feats you’re putting out, wouldn’t someone eventually make the connection that you might be a Divine Mortal? I feel like our Emperor Tier title can’t last for long.’
Cain paused in serious contemplation. For a while, he continually wonders how long he’ll need to keep his true identity a secret. Because of this, he can’t even fight at his full power. If he could, Cain genuinely wonder if he could face a half-step Divine Ruler.
But as of now, Cain still didn’t feel confident about revealing his identity. The chances of him and Amber getting kidnapped for other organizations’ personal gains than genuine help are far too high.
With the natural intelligence of Divine Realm cultivators, it was better to assume that someone has selfish intentions for themselves than wanting to spread genuine good.
Thus, after a moment of thought, Cain said, ‘As long as I don’t show off my Dragon heritage, nobody can make a correct guess. I’d say when we finally gain powerful enough backing, let’s say, a Supreme Elder from an Holy Land who is at the Primal Sovereign level, then it would be safe to show our identity. We will be greatly protected and can broadcast our news so that either grandmother or the Dark Dragons Heavenly Great World can find us.’
‘Dark Dragons, huh? Why them specifically?’ At this point, a mischievous glint sparked in Amber’s eyes. ‘Is it because of that Yulong girl? Even though I only saw her for a short time, she seemed quite in awe of you.’
Softly snorting and rolling his eyes, Cain casually shrugged. ‘More like, their fellow Dragon bloodline seems to have an instinct calling to my own. We’re not related, but they probably treat me as if I’m their long-lost cousin.’
Amber giggled lightly. ‘That would be amusing to see. But enough about that, let’s finish this annoyance up now.’
Cain didn’t have any arguments there. Grabbing Amber’s hand, he and Amber sped forward in a trail of blue light, using this as a cover to vanish with Chaotic teleportation.
…
In more eager haste, Cain managed to reach the Zhou Family manor in a relatively short time. His and Amber’s close arrivals already caused heads to turn.
Their appearances may not be currently unique but many could still identify their faces. Above all, many in the Zhou estate believed that the duo was still only Divine Origin geniuses.
Thus, it was the biggest shock to all of them when sensing that Lee and Xun were now Great Divine Sea cultivators!
Moreover, neither of them were just any Great Divine Sea cultivators or freshly broken through ones, at least, that’s what many sensed from their firm Divine Auras.
The density of their Inner World’s aura was too robust, too strongly thick to be simply unstable. Weaker cultivators even thought that the duo had reached Mid Great Divine Sea already!
Cain briefly expanded his senses to pick up on the surrounding conversations.
“That’s…they’re…that’s definitely the marvelous duo! They’re already in the Great Divine Sea realm? Just what was their fall stage? Nobody, not even the Elders were even able to accurately judge their fall stage.”
“Marvelous duo? I like terrifying duo far more. Seriously, the most people could tell was they were at least at the 5thfall stage. And even then, their prowess suppressed all factions! Now at the Great Divine Sea, just how much more terrifying strength can they erupt with?!”
“I have a feeling we’ll know soon enough. That Cloudsea genius interest in them isn’t subtle at all…”
“I still can’t believe we’re seriously considering a fight between someone in the Great Divine Sea realm and the Divine Star realm! Feels common sense itself just broke apart…”
The shock of a Divine Origin beating Great Divine Sea would not be able to compare with the Great Divine Sea suppressing a Divine Star warrior!
After all, the differences between the two realms might as well be as wide as an infinite abyss.
On the purest, fundamental level, a Great Divine Sea cultivator is merely preparing themselves to just touch upon the nomological truths of a Great Dao. Their Spiritual Sea is grasping what could be considered the most basic of true Great Dao principles. Higher realm cultivators even admit Great Divine Sea cultivators are at best comprehending 3% of a Great Dao.
While a Divine Star cultivator has already perceived a faint nomological truth of a Great Dao and has fully fused with a Dao Source Core. Their comprehension of the Great Dao is several times greater.
Both of these Law Forces put a Divine Star cultivator in their own category of power.
Even a half-step Divine Star warrior can’t truly contend with a weak Early Stage Divine Star warrior.
However, all of these expectations simply couldn’t be applied to either Lee or Xun.
Time and time again, the duo continues to suppress and crush all of their foes with almost a leisurely stride.
Even as the chasm grew wider between each major realm, who’s to say that Lee and Xun also didn’t grow monstrously stronger?
Subconsciously, youths and Elders alike had anticipated shooting them, awaiting to see another great feat in history can be achieved.
At this time, Cain had already retracted his sense, focusing back on the Zhou’s manor.
The duo was just about to take the quickest route to Zhou Ping’s faction courtyard when they detected the young master himself flying over.
Stopping, Cain and Amber calmly crossed their arms as Zhou Ping got close.
“Look, young master Ping has come! Is the battle going to happen sooner than expected?”
“The young master appears so distressed…I don’t blame him if this duel does happen.”
A direct descendent arrival caused an inevitable stir in the surrounding crowd, more so than usual, considering they all were in the open fields of the manor.
However, Zhou Ping couldn’t care less about the surrounding crowd. His expression eased into relief as he stopped meters before the duo.
Just as he began to speak, his eyes widened in surprise, that relief expression morphing into pure shock.
