Chapter 237 - Return Home
Chapter 237 - Return Home
On the Heaven Sky Planet, days had swiftly passed.
For Cain and Amber, during these last two days, the young couple spent most of their time around the Hiyashi estate, mainly spending time with Joy and Amiel.
Since it would be a lengthy period of absence, Amber did want to carve all remaining sensations of home deeply into her Martial Heart. Only with this, her Soul can be at ease, and she wholeheartedly pursues the Spiritual Way.
As for her extended leave, the Hiyashi family head naturally couldn't go against it. Just like how Joy and Amiel were helpless in Amber's decision adamant, the family head was put in a similar position.
His was even worse, considering he would need to go through Joy, Amiel, Crimson Sea Academy, and the World Spirit Master Branch.
In the end, all he could announce was that Amber would be venturing out with Spirit Master Cain for their own lucky chances.
This excuse couldn't raise any suspicions in the younger generation or their surrounding Class-level Family. And even if it did, Amber and Cain's World Spirit Master status could suppress all those with harmful intentions.
As for Kali, she smoothly dealt with Crimson Sea Academy and World Spirit Master Branch. Her methods were simple, directly telling both Alisha and Bellax that they would be going far away for their lucky chances.
Alisha was quick to agree, knowing that young geniuses like them needed to polish themselves on adventures. No legendary experts are ever forged from staying inside, merely reading everything.
While Bellax was a slight bit hesitant before eventually relenting.
The Divine Envoy from the main World Spirit Master Branch certainly desired to make relations with Cain, Kali, and Amber. However, raising their strength on adventures and lucky chances is also a good option.
It is widely known that extreme geniuses have an unmistakable aura around them, allowing them to achieve lucky chances far greater than a standard set of geniuses.
Of course, not many on the Lower Realm can safely say why. But, the best answer they faulted to was the mysterious inner workings of the Heavenly Dao.
Like this, two days peacefully passed for Cain, Kali, and Amber without any interruptions.
And now, the trio was currently in a secluded area that was by the Southern Wilderness.
Cain's group stood under a particularly massive hill covering, staying entirely out of sight.
At this moment, various surges of emotions plastered Cain, Kali, and Amber's faces.
Out of the three, Kali appeared the most vibrant. Compared to days ago, her whole presence changed, becoming frostier as if Ice was engraved into the depths of her Soul.
Even her beautifully abyss-like eyes carried a chilling yet gorgeous glow of Ice.
"Really, it's about damn time. Staying so long here, I felt as my mind was becoming muddle with this foul environment." A slight sneer curled Kali's lips.
At the Innate Lord realm, her haughtiness increased just as much as her strength. Given the requirements to enter the Innate Lord Realm, it was a bit understandable.
Still, her pride has never been greater as she continued to say, "And when we get home…heh. I hope we can repeatedly use the Illusion Killing Array. I truly want our dear brothers and sisters to see just how outclassed they are before we reach the peak of the Mortal Way. By then, none of them will be our match."
"Mn…you sure do have loft ambitions, huh? When you do beat your siblings, I doubt you will just stop there, right?" Amber curiously inquired, eagerness similarly evident in her tone.
To be able to interact with all these existence everyone on this planet would consider as untouchable Gods nearly seems like a fantasy. But this was no illusion, and she will be ascending to the lands of God as a Mortal!
When hearing Amber's question, an genuine, excited smile broadened Kali's lips.
"Of course, it won't stop there. That will only be a disgrace to my ambitions. Just wait. One day, I will be the only one to carve their way all the way to the peak of the Martial Way, becoming an everlasting existence!"
"Oh really?" Such lofty ambitions made Amber amusedly giggle. "Hehe~. Can you really say that when Cain has similar goals towards this?"
"Tch. Believe what you want." Kali quickly shut down this conversation, declining to bother with this subject.
Unknowingly, this lofty dear brother of hers has become an increasingly unfathomable presence within her mind.
Cain saw through it all, especially the flicker of an ice-cold glint within Kali's eyes.
But he chose to not comment.
In the end, he really only has a healthy rivalry with his sister, not anything like their royal siblings. Although, now, he really needs to consider how he will handle his siblings upon returning.
His information on them was minimal, and Kali disliked discussing them. Things could get potentially rough with them. But no clear concrete answer could form within Cain's mind now.
Pushing down these thoughts for later, Cain silently traced his spatial ring and pulled out a small gray disk.
With just a look, this disk didn't look anything special. In fact, even powerful God Galaxies cultivators could mistake this ordinary disk.
However, contained inside this disk was powerful traces of the Heavenly Dao itself!
This is what he and Kali used to bypass the rigid rules of the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to quickly traverse countless realms to reach the Lower Realm.
An Dao transmision array disk.
And with this, Cain will reverse Heavenly Dao's rules once again to return right back to the God Galaxies.
"Let's go." Cain spoke while pouring his Soul energy into the Dao transmission disk.
When his Soul energy connected to the source of the disk's essence, it immediately glowed a blinding, bright divine light.
The divine light instantly engulfed Cain's group, causing their consciousness to lull into a completely entranced state.
None of their mental psyches could perceive even the slightest of Dao's essence traces.
A moment later, the divine light shattered the void around them, causing large black space gaps tears to appear before shooting far into the skies, rapidly leaving the Lower Realm far behind.
…
Traveling through the long-distance space channel, Cain, Kali and Amber focused their thoughts, attempting to perceive their sense of surroundings.
As they did reach the Innate Lord Realm, the trio had a bit of expectation, believing they could perceive just the slightest traces of the Law of Space.
But upon spreading their Soul Sense just a little bit, each of them was assaulted with a painful headache. It felt as painful as violently smashing their heads into a stone wall refined from Qi.
Evidently, space between realms is far more complex than anything their current boundary can handle.
Recalling their Soul Sense, the trio patiently waited as the divine light thrust them through the long space channel.
Then when merely only several seconds passed, Cain and Kali felt a familiar sensation wash over them, causing the blood in their veins to slightly pump.
If the duo could move, they would jump in immense shock!
This sensation was directly altering the movement of the Dao transmission disk!
Such kind of power left Cain and Kali dry in the mouth. With how heavily the siblings reacted, Amber felt it even worse.
She only felt as if the most terrifying ice-cold air engulfed her, threatening to drown her entire being into an everlasting abyss. Her mind completely shook, her Soul's Core instinctively quivering in fear.
None of them knew what was going to happen. But before any wild ideas could develop, their sense of space heavily shifted.
Cain, Kali, and Amber felt as if they were getting sucked right into another powerful hurricane.
Although, this suction force didn't cause even the slightest trace of pain.
A few moments later, the suction force dispersed, and their sense of space stabilized.
In this instance, a heavenly sensation washed over the trio.
Cain, Kali, and Amber's bodies shook only for a moment before feeling all tension leak right out of them.
The mere air inhaling into their noise, the aura subtly absorbing inside of them, it all was otherworldly!
From Lower Realm to here, it was simply the immensity of heaven and earth. Akin to wandering through a scorching hot desert until finally finding an incomparably fresh spring pool and diving right into its refreshing essence.
"We're home!" Cain and Kali flung their eyes open, excitement rushing to their faces as their skin slightly flushed.
Truly, being back home gave them an immense sense of ease, like they truly belong here.
Although, at the same time, Amber stayed slightly rooted to her spot. As a mortal, experiencing the Divine essence of Heaven and Earth was intoxicating, almost to a suffocating degree!
This pure fresh air and aura nearly frantically drilled into her body, threatening to her drown in its Divinity.
Was this truly the separation of God and Lower Realms?
It was beyond anything she or any mortal could ever expect!
Amber wanted to circulate her Qi, hoping to resist and refine this Divine essence. But, an ominous premonition was rising in her heart. With her current Qi, she felt wanting to refine this sensation was far from enough.
A sense of crisis nearly rose within her.
However, before anything substantial could happen, a foreign force slipped into her body, drilling directly into her Soul's Core.
Initially, Amber slightly panicked, believing it was some sort of surprise attack. But instantly, a moment later, it suddenly turned incredibly easy for Amber to breathe.
Now, she could freely breathe around without any trouble of suffocating. This whole process occurred within just a couple of seconds.
Such swift ability subconsciously caused Amber to gradually open her eyes.
As her vision cleared, Amber immediately locked on to one of the most beautiful sights she ever had the pleasure to witness.
Standing a few feet away from them was one of, no, the most beautiful women she ever saw in her life!
Just one look, Amber felt a magnetic pull towards her, making her want to submit entirely. This was a suppression of the most natural of orders. It was precisely like lower subjects greeting their empress. It wasn't anything Amber could hope to resist.
And most terrifying, this woman didn't exude even the slightest portion of a natural aura she could possibly sense.
"Ah, it's good that you all managed to come back right on time. Any later, and I'm sure we wouldn't be able to stay our hands."
Shi Wei's crisp, hypnotic voice bounced off the walls of the luxurious chambers, slithering directly into Cain, Kali, and Amber's Soul.
Cain and Kali shivered, smiles booming on their faces.
"We greet grandmother."
The sibling simultaneously greeted with the utmost respect filling their tone. The future may be unknown, but at least their all-powerful grandmother will always be welcoming with affection.
'Gr-grandmother?' Amber nearly couldn't keep up with this rapid shift of events.
Just their grandmother felt like an endless mystery, like an otherworldly presence that doesn't belong to any mortal world.
And as her eyes locked with Shi Wei, Amber nearly jumped out of her shoes!
Shi Wei's eyes were calm, very calm, almost to a chilling degree. With just this gaze, it was like she saw right into Amber's Soul.
Instantly, Amber deeply bowed, forcefully quelling her nerves as she said, "Greeting Senior…uhm…I hope it is alright if I'm here."
As Amber spoke, she suddenly felt Cain grasping her shoulder, gently pulling her up.
Staring into each other eyes, Amber immediately felt calmer, feeling that all would go right.
Cain faintly smiles, calmly nodding, putting all trust into his unfathomable grandmother.
And all these actions didn't go unnoticed from Shi Wei's eyes.
She happily nodded, saying, "How intriguing. The mere fact she could even step inside here is more than enough. But, judging by the look you two give each other, you're perhaps drawing near the threshold of the final Soul Layer. Indeed, you three went beyond me all my wildest expectations."
Cain and Amber were intrigued and curious, but before they could react, Kali couldn't suppress her excitement, proudly saying, "This is only the tip of the iceberg, grandmother.. Let's skip all introduction and get right into it. Thoroughly expect us, and we will even shock you!"
