Chapter 687 A Little Trip
At this time, within Cain’s courtyard, dazzling divine lightning glistens to the high heavens.
Every ray of divine lightning was terrifying. Exuding density that can completely rush peak Divine Rulers and complexity no Divine Ruler could understand within their lives. Even half-step Holy Kings would pay extra attention to this divine lightning.
The surges of divine lightning came from a young maiden sitting at the center of Cain’s courtyard. She was the charmingly beautiful Zexi.
And next to her was, of course, Cain.
Cain was currently guiding Zexi on her Supreme Divine Laws. Every word he spoke was filled with the attainment of his current law understanding.
“Never forget one important rule. One that even ancestor masters rarely bring up. Be determined to gain new ground on your divine laws. Always expect more. There is no limit to the Great Dao. Your divine lightning still lacks proper refinement. Concentrate on the pure discovery of divine lightning.”
‘Pure discovery…’ Zexi murmured in her mind.
His words may seem simple and a bit obvious. But they were truly changing the way Zexi was taking control of her divine lightning laws.
It would be common for her to slightly exert herself to take full control over her laws. As if she has a great understanding of its principles. But were laking several things to smoothly control divine lightning laws without the slightest of friction.
As of now, Zexi was still lacking those mysterious things. And yet, she felt far closer to just what those things were in these few days than her months of cultivation.
Her soul energy wasn’t forceful to control her divine lightning. She didn’t only see it as a way for immense strength. But a mystical aspect that governs all life across the universe. It held deep and complex secrets that can speak to her soul.
Studying upon this provided Zexi with a far broader range to control her divine lightning laws than before.
Although, it wasn’t all on Zexi’s part. Cain’s words were infused with the power of his soul. This soul power contained the understanding of Cain’s Spiritual Sea.
It acted as an immensely detailed reference book for Zexi. Peering into a foundation that she can study off and apply it to her own study.
Zexi was especially in luck as her divine laws were the same as Cain’s divine lightning laws, allowing her to grasp more understanding at a lightning-speed pace.
Just deepening her foundations with divine laws allowed her prowess to grow.
With far more complex law principles, Zexi held greater confidence in suppressing the law principles of a peak stage Divine Ruler.
It was several hours later when the guidance session was done. All divine lightning laws vanished to smoke.
“Haah…” Zexi exhaled a tremendous breath. She leaned back, sweat dripping down her beautiful face. “Cultivating this way is such a drain on my soul. It’s so intense, despite just sitting in one place.”
Cain casually smiled. Guiding along Zexi was also beneficial to his own divine laws.
Witnessing the ways in which other talents manipulate their own law principles provided him with new ideas on how to manipulate his own divine laws.
Though it was impossible to make any considerable progress in a few days. But Cain did manage to be just steps away from perfectly stabilizing and solidifying the foundation of his Inner World.
With a calm nod, he said, “It’s hard work, but will all pay off in the end. The Great Dao laws are never-ending for us.”
He sat down right next to Zexi. A proceeding calm silence soon settled between the duo. Their souls were at serenity by just sitting next to each other.
A few minutes later, Zexi opened her eyes. Her tone was a bit tentative, but she still asked, “Say, brother Cain? Speaking of discovering the Dao, what would you say to take a walk outside? I’m sure your adventurous spirit is up for it, right?”
There was a bit of an edge to her voice. As if she had faint thoughts of what would happen if rejected.
Cain honestly found that tentative expression cute on the otherwise typically confident Zexi. He humored her with mild amusement. “Oh? And just where will my adventurous spirit take me this time?”
“Ah,” Zexi’s smile began to bloom. “Then, how about my hometown? It’s not too far away from here. And my friends at home have real interesting divine laws to discuss. It’ll be fun!”
“So excited are we?” Cain gave a knowing smirk, his gaze piercing down Zexi’s soul.
She couldn’t help but slightly shiver. A slight flush painted Zexi’s cheek as she giggled. “Hehe, whenever I’m with brother Cain, it’s always filled with excitement. Can’t blame me for getting all antsy again.”
Cain paused for a moment before answering. There really wasn’t much going on for him at this moment. He was mainly focusing on consolidating his Inner World foundation than improving his realm.
He also didn’t get around to practicing the Divine Astral Art just yet. Just to make sure there wouldn’t be any mishaps if his cultivation wasn’t in its perfect condition.
Compared to the Chaotic Emerald for Martial Dao Laws and Heavenly Venerate soul’s inheritance for soul cultivation, Cain really didn’t have any great cheats to get a head start on Astral essence. He simply needs to do it the methodical way.
Thus, Cain had no problem agreeing. “I see there’s no reason to not go. Just let me make a call before leaving.”
“Mn. Ok.” Zexi tried to contain herself. But she was shaking internally.
She knew that Cain was going to directly contact a Heavenly Venerate ancestor! Only his special status can allow for such a special event.
As with a Dao protector, Cain did have certain responsibilities to let the ancestors know where he was going. Even the slightest bit of carelessness could leave to a grave mistake.
And the Lightning Rocs didn’t want to lose any hope they had in Cain.
Without a change in expression, Cain quickly surged a contact ring. His Spiritual Sea was soon connected with an unfathomable sensation of Dao principles.
There was a massive line separating them. But even so, the Dao Laws of a Heavenly Venerate seemed all-encompassing. As if there was no escape at all.
Keeping himself under control, Cain respectfully greeted, ‘Ancestor Thunder. I’m calling for a request to leave for a short outing.’
‘Oh? Just where are you planning on going? Is it with Zexi, I’m assuming?’ Azure Thunder sounded genuinely curious.
Cain told, ‘Indeed. We’re going on a short trip to her hometown for talks about divine laws. I don’t believe there’s a need for a protector to be with me since it’s close to the Holy Land. And personally, I dislike the feeling of being coddled all of the time. Experiencing danger helps me sharpen my combat edge.’
The line went silent for a few moments. Daring disciples like Cain were always a source of slightly troublesome headaches for the master.
But in the end, Azure Thunder relented. She seriously stated. ‘Permission granted. But you must remember to be careful. Even in a place far weaker than you, there can still be surprises. And while you’re in that girl’s hometown, I would suggest you explore the temple. The principles you can study may be helpful to you.’
After her piece was spoken, the line went dead.
Cain gave a charming smile to Zexi and nodded. “We’ve just been given the go. Shall we spend the rest of the day resting before heading out?”
“Great! Let’s do that. I’m sure you’ll like traveling together with me and to my hometown.” Zexi spoke with stars glistening in her eyes.𝔬𝓋𝑙xt.𝑐𝒐𝓂
For a moment, Yulong’s words about women streaked into Cain’s mind. He wryly smiled to himself. His luck really is strangely good in all the weirdest of places.
