Novel Full Chapter 455 In A Single Instant
Amber suddenly asked Cain, “Say, haven’t we used all of our Inner World resources by now? Compared to the essence Marks, wanting to maintain this sea of essence is several times more troublesome. And I don’t think we can just ignore it, right? Even with our deep foundation?”
Cain slowly shook his head. “No, we can’t. Even from a logical perspective, sustaining our Inner World just makes sense. After all, we want to expand this dimension within us into a full-blown world. Taking time to sustain its vitality is akin to taking care of a garden. I’m sure even with our foundations, our Inner World can become decrepit if we ignored it for far too long.”
With Cain’s long yet logical explanation, Amber could only sigh with a wry smile.
Truthfully, there were many more cultivators who feel the same annoyance as Amber than Cain’s logical perspective.
The Divine Origin realm wasn’t too hard to maintain an Inner World even if one just buys general resources for essence Marks. Of course, obtaining specific resources that correspond with one’s Law Marks gives the best vitality force, but having a bunch of general supplies would give out the same effects.
This didn’t change too much in the Great Divine Sea realm. A cultivator’s essence Marks are now fused into their Great Divine Sea, thus they now need resources for them and to sustain the entire Great Divine Sea.
It truly was akin to maintaining a garden. As long as one has the right amount of resources for the essence Marks and the Great Divine Sea, there won’t be any problems.
The troublesome parts come with a cultivator needing specific resources for their Law essence Marks and their Great Divine Sea.
With the tremendous evolution of the Inner World, general Divine Qi resources just won’t cut it.
One’s Great Divine Sea and Law essence Marks have evolved with far higher vitality force to sustain. It’s why one can produce much stronger power and have this seemingly endless supply of energy. Their Inner World’s vitality is practically an unlimited power supply that only grows stronger with each proceeding minor boundary.
If it’s a rogue Great Divine Sea cultivator, even with the small potential Inner World, they would struggle to find the appropriate resources. Either those resources were in dangerous places or have costs that run sky high.
Sect and Martial families cultivators have it a little easier depending on their background.
While first-rate sects and Holy Land cultivators have it the easiest because of their plentiful options to gain resources or Sun Crystal beads.
For Cain and Amber, their continuous robbery and rewards from the Zhou’s battle stage gave them a massive sum of Sun Crystal Beads. It wasn’t enough to sustain them for several months. But just long enough for their future endeavors.πΈππ³xt.πΈππ
Thinking over the extra work needed for the Great Divine Sea realm and for future realms, Amber felt a slight headache.
She looked into her Great Divine Sea before casting a curious glance over to Cain. “Say, I never asked before, but just how big is your world sea? My only reach around 200 miles.”
Feeling a spurge of intrigue, Cain cast his Divine Sense over his Great Divine Sea. Only a moment later did a small rise of shock swirl through his mind.
Cain slowly said, “After this recent breakthrough, my sea’s size expanded to 400 miles. And it feels noticeably denser than before.”
“Ah, isn’t that a good thing?” Amber wiggled her brows in thought. “From what Senior Wei taught us and the books here, the bigger the world sea, the greater potential we have. The average cultivator’s sea can barely break over 30 miles. While those so-called geniuses can barely breach 50.”
Sarcasm and disdain dripped from Amber’s tone, but she was truly qualified to look down on such meager sizes. Her size alone is numerous times greater than fellow geniuses. Furthermore, her Great Divine Sea has natural dense properties that are innately superior to other cultivators.
Recalling the lessons he learned, Cain now knows the size of a Great Divine Sea symbolizes how deep their Inner World foundations are.
The bigger, denser, and thicker it is, the stronger would Cain and Amber’s prowess will be. This also leads to the better development of their Inner World’s space structure which is the defining point of how they could absorb stronger energy from the universe.
Although, the unfortunate trade-off would be the fact that they required a considerably bigger sum of resources than other cultivators to properly sustain their Great Divine Sea.
With their current comprehension and attainments, achieving breakthroughs with a Dao Core Fragment would be very simple for the duo. It’s just that if they’re not careful, they may end up unnecessarily harming their foundations due to a sense of carelessness.
Cain wasn’t sure if he would count since he’s a Divine Mortal. And Divine Mortal are commonly known to never get weaker no matter how fast their cultivation improves. But he wasn’t about to risk anything on a sense of arrogance.
“More than anything, resources are just another critical factor to cultivation, just as much as killing or comprehension.” Cain lightly sighed.
At this point, a strange glint flashed in his eyes. His expression and mood slowly turned somber as he said, “It should be around months since we last saw grandmother or Kali. I’m especially worried about Kali. Her, well, arrogance, did start to inflate after everything.”
Amber lightly snorted. “Knowing her? She’ll do just as fine as us. She may not have chaos stuff, but she is surprisingly witty on her own. And can she also just quickly increase her strength to the point she can ease into some powerful Holy Land.”
Through Amber’s slightly causal tone, it was a bit hard to see if she truly cared for Kali or not.
Only Cain knows for sure that despite the girls’ constant disagreements, mainly on Kali’s side, Amber does have genuine good feelings toward Kali.
Still, even with Amber’s reassuring words, Cain’s worries didn’t lessen. “She is a Divine Mortal, but we can never be too sure. Just like how we ran into thugs looking to use us, the same thing can very easily occur for Kali. And without me to safely escape with her, then, well…”
“Ah, stop worrying so much, will you?” Amber’s tone was gentle despite her words. “Isn’t her luck somewhat as good as yours? She may have gotten teleported into some sect that has kind characters that genuinely want to help. Or maybe she teleported straight into a great treasure. But if none of that assures you, all we need to do is simply get strong enough to go out and look for her ourselves.”
With Amber’s words, a fiery light suddenly sparked within Cain’s eyes. All of his previous confusion instantly vanished.
“Right, that’s right! When our cultivation is enough, we can just use our influence to find that little girl. Moreover, I also can’t believe that Kali will fall prey to some random thugs, even Divine ones. Our journey to Cloudsea needs to be managed efficiently.”
“Cloudsea, huh? And that Jiang Ling guy…” Amber tilted her in brief thought before lightly sighing.
She shrugged her shoulders as she said, “Well, that meeting with Jiang Ling isn’t for a couple of days, so we can at least take our time now. I know we’ll get little once we finally get into that sect. Come on, let’s go enjoy some quality city time.”
No matter how much urgency Cain felt, uselessly stressing himself about them wouldn’t do him any good.
In any case, relaxing Amber helps to soothe his soul and ease his mind. Which also allows for his cultivation to become even smoother.
Smiling, Cain linked arms with Amber. With no hurry in their steps, the duo casually strolled out of their courtyard.
…
At the highest section of the Zhou Family manor. Within here contained the family head’s throne room and three people currently inhabited the throne room.
Zhou Ping and Zhou Lei stayed kneeled as Zhou Kei sat proudly upon his throne.
A strange atmosphere permeated the room. Numerous emotions ran through the younger descendants.
However, it was impossible to tell what the Holy King’s master, Zhou Kei, was thinking. His expression stayed unreadable, like a blurry mist.
While Zhou Lei’s expression stayed darker than the abyss. Never in his life would he expect a day like this would come.
For several years, he stayed near the top of the bloodline descendent, completely comfortable without any threat to his position.
No matter who his other siblings obtained in their factions, Zhou Lei never worried about his 2nd ranking spot changing.
However, that all changed with the inclusion of once two random nobodies named Lee and Xun.
These two, apparently Emperor Tier geniuses, swept through everyone in the battle arena. Nobody, not even the top ranking in the battle arena, could hope to match them.
Hell, even a prime genius from a Holy Land fell to Cain!
Yet, while other people would have been severely punished or simply killed for killing a Holy Land genius, both Lee and Xun were saved from anything because of connections with Jiang Ling.
The connection with Jiang Ling was the final tipping point. Now everything has come to its head.
Even though Zhou Ping himself has a far lower cultivation realm than him and most of his faction members are overall weaker than his own, none of that matter because of Lee and Xun!
Not just his faction, Zhou Lei was aware that his own Middle Stage Divine Star cultivation is inferior to Cain.
When recalling his eldest brother, even his Late Stage Divine Star cultivation would be slightly inferior to Du Hu, much less that freakish genius Cain.
Zhou Lei’s life was about to significantly change in a single instant. And it was all because his younger brother got lucky.
How could he ever possibly feel content with that?
