"Master, it seems the grotto is suppressing you so that you can't breakthrough."

Elena replied with a thoughtful face.

"Indeed Master, let's not breakthrough for now." Lena who was standing beside Kylo quipped in as well.

Kylo looked at both of them with dumbfounded face.

***

It had already been few days since the triplets joined under Kylo's banner.

Kylo decided to take a few days break. It was not just to take rest but also so that the group could bond together.

He didn't want them to be friends who would sacrifice their lives for each other.

But it would be disastrous if they somehow misunderstood and harmed each other during a fight.

And right now Kylo wasn't confident to say there were no enemies ahead in this cave.

After all previously he confidently claimed there weren't any living beings in front of Nigel and after few weeks he got a triplet.

[What a shitty cave... No should I say grotto now...?] Kylo clicked his tongue inwardly.

He looked around to see everyone.

Both Avery and Selena still would fight with each other... verbally of course.

[Somehow they seem to be born nemesis of each other.] Kylo thought to himself.

After all they both had cold exteriors who would not mix with other people as long as they were not extremely close.

Lena thought she found second Selena in the form of Avery and she started teasing her as well.

[Maybe she did that intentionally... but it was so natural even I am having a hard time distinguishing whether it was an act or not.]

Kylo looked at Lena thoughtfully and continued to think

[She is really not simple... Maybe she is even scarier in some Elena in some sense.]

And when it came to Elena, Kylo was shocked how she got along with everyone in just few hours on the first day.

Even Nigel wasn't averse to her.

[Nope, Elena is the scariest alright!] Kylo immediately decided then and there.

And when it came to Nigel, except for talking with Elena occasionally, he mostly cultivated alone.

[This runt is going to die single.] Kylo nodded confidently.

Taking about cultivation, one of the thing that made Kylo happy was the increase in Avery's cultivation base.

Yes, she improved once again in these few days of rest. She reached the peak of Gamma Stage.

Another thing which was advantageous to him was how he got close to both Lena and Elena.

Elena was sincere in helping him and Kylo could see it.

After all he was an emperor and one of the major traits an emperor should have is to look through anyone in order to prevent himself from getting deceived... not only by his enemies but also from his allies and subordinates.

And although Lena was not as sincere as Elena, she also reduced her guard against Kylo and team, knowing they didn't had any other choice.

Kylo also understood many things about this cave he previously did not knew.

He also got to know more about their personalities. From that he knew as long as Elena sincerely served him, the other two would serve him as well.

He himself wanted to breakthrough Supremo Realm in this break but somehow he wasn't able to, which confused him.

After all he was many realms above Supremo in his 'previous life'.

He should not have any performs in breaking through these stages since he already knew the laws about these stages.

To breakthrough each realm one must need a kind of epiphany about the next realm.

That was also why even if many bigshot had resources to cultivate they weren't able to breakthrough.

And many poor could breakthrough higher realms many would not even expect.

That was also why it is always said 'Heavens are always fair.'

Though Kylo never believed this! To him Heavens are never fair.

[The Heavens are just scammers and hypocrites like that {Holy Emperor Tang}] He always thought this after he met with him.

After all those with resources always had greater chances of breakthrough.

[Heavens are better than {Holy Emperor Tang} though...]

Kylo 'praised' the heavens.josei

[I am never stingy with my praises after all] Kylo nodded with a happy smile on his face.

Anyways, it seemed as if there was a curtain in front of him not allowing him to peek through the stage.

He decided to ask someone about it and no one else other than Elena was a better candidate than this.

And that was what led to the current scene.

(Author Rants:- Just a clarification, When I say realm that means an entire realm for example Supremo Realm.

When I say stage that means Minor Saint Stage, Dao King stage, etc under the Supremo Realm.

These are all major stages I mentioned.

Minor stages mean 1st step of Dao King Stage.)
