'Divine Star foes!' Cain inwardly felt a twinge of intrigue.
All Divine Star experts used to seem so unfathomably strong. They were able to directly distort space with great attacks and utilize beyond mortal comprehension. That kind of strength is genuinely terrifying.
However, now in the Divine Origin realm, Cain could only regard them as an eventual milestone to surpass. His prowess already greatly surpasses Early Great Divine Sea and is perhaps at the Late Stage.
These high-ranking Divine Star experts could only stimulate Cain's determination.
This confidence didn't show on Cain's, however. His expression remained calm as he nodded, saying, "We will keep this in mind. Thank for the forwarning. For now, we would like to settle in."
"Then I won't keep you waiting. Inside are already some cultivation resources to help get you started. I will be looking forward to Sir and Miss's future results." Steward Que spoke with a genuine smile of anticipation.
Without lingering a moment, he quickly departed away from the duo.
Cain and Amber turned their sights back on their house. After Cain infused soul energy into the house's ring and caused the door to swing open, the duo stepped inside.
They simultaneously breathed a refreshing fragrance on their first steps in. Honest admiration rose within them.
The interior was nicely decorated, hold several rooms, and was decently spacious despite the exterior looking slightly. Certainly much better than cultivating inside a dingy cave.
Amber sighed as she leaned into Cain's arm, her face wrapped in slight bliss. "This really will be great for us. So? What's the plan now? Do you want to challenge that battle arena soon? I know those wild instincts of yours are always up for some crazed battle."
Ponderance flashed upon Cain's face. A few moments later, he came to a decision as he said, "No, let's put that off for a little bit later. For now, let's just relax for a bit and increase our cultivation. We still have a good number of those Dao Core Traces to absorb. If we're lucky, we can reach 6thfall and perhaps peak success of our Divine Laws."
"Mn. Sounds good to me." Amber hummed in agreement.
The duo then settled their sights on specific bedroom lodging and began strolling over to it, ready to spend some much-needed quality time after so much traveling.
...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeveral days flew by like the wind.
During this time, Cain stayed true to his word.
He and Amber mainly stayed in their rooms to diligently cultivate and occasionally relax together.
Barely anyone came to bother them. The more daring ones did come and try to form some type of connection. And Cain didn't deny them meeting all that wanted to come. Though he didn't really go beyond surface-level conversations.
Because of their high strength and Zhou Ping's word, the faction's members didn't try to force any issues onto the duo or make them go into the battle arena.
Like this, the duo's cultivation took great leaps forward.
The duo had mainly used the Dao Core Traces for their martial cultivation. Under this method, both their Inner World and Divine Law comprehension rapidly advanced.
Their Inner World's essence marks now reached up to 50, bringing their cultivation up to the 5thfall stage.
Also, because of the Dao Core Traces' abundance of energy, the duo didn't have to worry about nurturing and giving life to their essence marks. The Dao Core Traces automatically fueled them.
50 Inner World Marks for both Divine essence and their Divine Laws also means that their Inner World space stability and environment experienced an extreme increase in strength.
The stability of their Inner World caused their foundations to increase. Compared to average cultivators, the duo can intake far denser energies on both the Heaven and Earth Path and the Source Law Path.
Breaking through the divine perception barrier was a simple task for the duo.
In their Divine ascensions, they were able to touch upon the deep principle of Divine Essence because of that black tribulation lightning. To this day, neither Cain nor Amber knew exactly what the black tribulation lightning represents. But that very lightning had a great abundance of Heavenly Dao essence.
By just regularly cultivating, the black tribulation lightning that fused into their cells would stimulate, allowing their Spiritual Sea to have a smooth time in comprehending both Divine Essence and Dao Core Trace.
The black tribulation lightning also played a vast role in their Divine Law comprehension. They both reached peak success of Early Stage Divine Laws. This means they both can draw out 20% power from their Divine Law Source.
Reaching this point was part of their Dragon Charm, own comprehension abilities, and the black tribulation lightning.
Heavenly Dao's essence naturally doesn't extend only to the Heaven and Earth. It also has direct ties to all Law Sources.
The lightning stimulation within their cells enhanced their cultivations dozens of times.
Cain made it a great focus to only improve upon their cultivation bases. It leads to their arts in both cultivation and Spirit energy to slightly fall behind.
Cain's Draconic Lightning Arts still remained at the 2nd level and his Lightning Stream Art still didn't go past the 1st level.
Amber's Divine Shadow Arts similarly stalled at the 2nd level. She also didn't have much time to explore her other Spirit Arts.
But what they didn't do in their Martial and Spirit Arts, the duo made up for it in their soul cultivation.
Cain found soul cultivation to be a particularly special beast in its own right. When his soul sense comprehends the mysterious principles of soul essence, it felt like an out-of-body experience.
It was like his consciousness was brought to a higher plane of existence. And in this plane, he felt far more in tune with himself than ever before.
The sensations of the soul broadened Cain's perspective of all sources of power running through the universe.
Despite how fantastically comprehending soul essence was, neither Cain nor Amber actually experienced much trouble increasing their soul cultivation.
The 1st level of the Divine Seal Art never felt too confusing to comprehend. Their speeds weren't astonishingly fast. But it was enough to develop at a consistent pace.
As of now, within the duo's Soul Space, 100 Soul Law Marks existed. Their soul energy had experienced a qualitative leap in strength as well.
Just like what they told before, by simply comprehending the Divine Seal Art's soul essence, their soul cultivation will passively enhance.
The increase in soul cultivation also motivated Cain to put in an equal amount of time to finish comprehending the 2nd layer of Chaos energy.
Chaos Words still appeared as grand and imposing as ever. But now, Chao didn't suffer nearly as much as when he used to comprehend Chaos Words.
His Spiritual Seal only felt a noticeable sting at times. It was enough to give him a slight headache but not enough to overall disrupt his cultivation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThrough soldiering on, Cain had reached the perfection stage of the 2nd layer. He was just a fine line away from the 3rd layer.
Even with this, his control over Chaos energy significantly improved, adding to another layer of his already increased prowess.
All of their rapid bouts of improvement caused eagerness to swell within Cain.
Who knows where their combat prowess lies now?
Early Stage Great Divine Sea Warriors already weren't their match at 3rdfall. Now at 5thfall, along with their other added prowess bonuses, Cain had increasing confidence in even facing Divine Star experts with his life intact.
Of course, Cain wasn't foolish enough to provoke even the weakest of Divine Star experts. Nor did he actually hurriedly go out to the battle arena after a long period of cultivation.
On this day, Cain instead took Amber on a date to explore Sky Bless City. They only had around 10% of their Dao Core Traces left, so they naturally needed to scrounge out more Inner World resources.
Thankfully, after numerous killings of people with high reputations, Cain had amassed quite the sum to be unworried about money unless it was tremendously costly.
The streets of Sky Bless City were grand and imposing. It would fuel anyone with a great sense of admiration.
The Divine jewels decorating the streets not only looked luxurious but also glowed with dazzling energy lights and exuded calming energy sensations.
Taking a leisurely stroll would be a perfect date for any couple. Cain and Amber stick close together as they walked through the luxurious streets.
Amber had even latched herself onto Cain's arms with a smile of pure bliss.
The duo constantly tossed their gazes all around, noting for any particular store of interest.
Eventually, the duo settled on one store actually run by a Divine Star expert.
Divine Star experts' status would typically be very grand in lower realms. Cain could recall that in the Huang Dragon hidden world, the Divine Star experts on celestial mountains would rarely leave their grandiose position. They would also be very hard to meet for an average person.
None of this applied to Sky Bless City.
Even Divine Star experts wouldn't dare run amok and simply opted to make their livings in an effective way.
