Deep inside Huang Imperial Palace, Shi Wei's hidden chambers.
Within her chambers, Shi Wei sat floating in midair, her expression showcasing a rare seriousness.
Previously, she was filled with a subtle confident charm during the meeting with her children and other grandchildren. She exuded an unfathomable pressure, making it seem like her words were very law and couldn't be contested against.
Using this kind of subtle pressure came at the results of a small portion of her profoundly cultivated Martial Arts.
And each time she met with her own children, she would always radiate this subtle pressure. It didn't matter what the meeting pertained to or how long it would last; the subtle pressure always remained.
On the surface, it may seem a bit cold to do so, but Shi Wei knows without it, she would have no chance of ever speaking through to their minds.
Naturally, as Saint Dragon Emperors, their pride and Martial Heart were intensely high and engraved deep within their mental state. Neither are willing to truly listen unless they are in front of someone on an equal level or faintly higher than them.
A soft sigh escaped Shi Wei's lips over this subject.
This kind of rigid attitude isn't rare but very common throughout most, if not all, God Galaxies Holy Lands. In her eyes, having self-confidence, pride, and even a bit of arrogance does some kind of wonder.
It allows Martial cultivators to sometimes challenge their limits, seeking new ways to eventually go past what was initially shackling them down.
But when pride goes unchecked, it will slowly and subtly affect the mental state, causing them to change significantly over their long lives.
With the immensely extended vitality because of the essence from Heaven and Earth, the mind can't help but gradually evolve into states that seemed incomprehensible to the average mortals.
But, because they are at least willing to give in to her words, Shi Wei did believe they are good seedlings, at least more than others from what she experienced throughout the God Galaxy.
This small case with her children would always leave her feeling a bit worried, thinking that they might make the wrong decision later in their lives.
However, it wasn't what was truly causing the serious expression plastering Shi Wei's face.
What was truly disturbing her mental state was, once again, Cain and Kali.
At the meeting, she seemed very awe-inspiring, hyping up their return to be a monumental event they couldn't miss out on.
And whiles parts of this are very accurate, there is also a worrying sensation continually swirling within the pits of her guts over the upcoming days.
In fact, even before today, Shi Wei was keenly aware of Huang Dai and Xun's overt interest in Cain and Kali.
She knew it wouldn't be long before they found out her secret because of their high persistence and Huang Xun's sharp analyzing mind. When they inevitably found the discovery, there would be no way to longer suppress this secret.
Even if Shi Wei intended to let Cain and Kali experience the whole three months, it was never meant to be with their insistence.
But disregarding her grandchildren's interference, Shi Wei couldn't suppress a cumbersome sensation since weeks ago.
This cumbersome sensation didn't suddenly appear but rather a slow buildup through several weeks. And all it gave her was unsettling feelings regarding Cain and Kali.
At Shi Wei's level of cultivation, she already opened her Spiritual Sea, transforming her mind and also grew her perception abilities to comprehend the boundless complex mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.
Engraved within her Soul and Spiritual Sea are profound properties of World Source Law essence, essence that formulates how the entire universe is structured and where Source energies travel on in the universe.
Also engraved within her are the specific Source Law variations she cultivated to extreme Divine degrees.
Both Law essence had fundamentally evolved her, allowing her access to numerous hidden abilities not many others have access to.
These abilities can only come if one has heaven-defying comprehension, allowing one to see far beyond the surface level of perception properties.
As a heaven-defying genius from her own generation, Shi Wei naturally came upon these abilities.
Shi Wei didn't know to precisely call it. These abilities are mysteriously strange to even her current cultivation. But one lead Shi Wei has is that she has very, very minor ability to peer into the entity of Fate.
When it comes down to incredibly precarious situations that can dictate how her entire life can change, Shi Wei would sometimes experience instinctive sensations within her Soul, very faintly telling her how she should proceed.
It certainly doesn't give her any concrete answers. But it was enough for Shi Wei to figure out how to start the path of solving that precarious situation.
And for Cain and Kali, that entity of Fate vaguely stirred her Soul continually.
For reasons beyond her comprehension, the stir in her Soul only gradually grew with each passing day, turning into a point where she believed she needed to get them home very soon.
This situation seemed wracked with mystery, but there were reasonable points she could latch onto.
The fact that Cain and Kali could mysteriously cultivate and have such a pure Dragon Aura that far surpasses their siblings could be seen as a giveaway to the strings of Fate.
After all, nothing was unexplainable, and the Heavens will never seal off all paths of hope.
What happened to Cain and Kali very well could be the mysterious inner working of Fate.
And now, something completely unexpected will inevitably happen to both Cain and Kali. Since it seems things will spiral out of her control, Shi Wei at least wanted her precarious grandchildren to stay close to her.
Such sentimental feelings are a bit of a rarity across many Martial families and Holy Lands. Although, it was understandable.
When pursuing after the grand Heavenly Dao, deep feelings are ephemeral, simply something that will inevitably erode away in the blink of an eye. Thus, cold, indifferent actions are far more natural to occur.
Rarely would Martial cultivators experience feelings that transcend past the physical plane, inscribing on the Soul to never pass or erode away for tens of thousands of years.
It certainly wasn't impossible, and when it does happen, the feelings are far more intense.
But with age, wisdom, and continuous perception of Heavenly Dao's Source Laws, Martial Hearts becomes increasingly harder to truly affect.
As for Shi Wei, she indeed was one of the uncommon exceptions of placing sentimental values above most things relating to her cultivation and the overall status of her Martial Family.
The other Ancient Dragons couldn't fully grasp this concept. Not even her own husband could fully understand her thoughts.
But what they thought wouldn't be able to affect her decision makings.
With her life, Shi Wei was incredibly determined to foster her grandchildren, helping them to achieve whatever long life goal they may have.
'At this point, I do wonder how far along they came within cultivation. Roughly comparing it, I was around Half-Step Nascent Formation. And he was just peak Spirit Opening at the same time. Considering their Dragon Aura, their results should at least be slightly behind Xun or Dai at worse. Or maybe…they can go beyond my expectations.'
Shi Wei slowly shook her head at this thought. Without any further delay, she opened her palm, summoning a unique purple spatial ring into existence.
Compared to other rings, this one was engraved with unique spirit patterns and exuded a distinct aura.
If either Huang Dai or Xun were here, they would be able to recognize it as Cain's life aura!
Constructing a spatial ring that is directly connected to a person's Soul takes a massive abundance of resources and a highly qualified World Spirit Master.
Additionally, the cost to make each one would be an astronomical sum, certainly not a cost that any Holy Land figure can so causally give away.
This ring is formally called the Soul Link Artifact.
Through the combination of Soul and Spirit Laws, it was possible to engrave a person's life aura onto the ring and then, later on, contact them no matter their position in the universe.
The limitations come in how many uses one is granted. Going over this limit will cause the ring to automatically break.
Thankfully, all Shi Wei needed was to contact Cain once, believing he would obediently listen to her.
With a thought, Shi Wei poured her Soul energy inside the Soul Link Artifact, causing it to quickly shimmer in a brilliant purple glow…
....
At this time on the Heaven Sky Planet, within Crimson Sea Academy discipline lord field.
Cain was inside his training room, wholly assimilated into a cultivation state for a few hours. A peaceful expression crossed his face as he diligently cultivated.
By now, nearly a whole two months have passed since starting this journey, and Cain honestly couldn't be more content.
What would've been a challenging journey for others was virtually a smooth vacation for him.
His great Martial Talent provided him with little to zero bottlenecks, allowing him to quickly raise his status to untouchable levels. Furthermore, he has a great relationship with his sister and a great relationship with his girlfriend.
And when next month comes around, he was sure to press on his cultivation, quickly raising his boundaries to unprecedented levels before returning home.
At this moment, Cain honestly believed as long as he put in the appropriate hard work, he was destined to achieve his dreams, living a life that he could only hope about in his previous homeworld.
With how smooth Cain's life was going so far, it was entirely understandable for him to have such optimistic thoughts.
But in life, nothing is ever concrete.
And this is significantly amplified when one is treading on the path that defies the omniscient rules exuded from the Heavenly Dao.
Anything can always happen.
As Cain was slowly experiencing subtle changes in the mind, a sudden jolt shocked from his Soul, spreading throughout his entire body!
Cain's body violently trembles. His eyes flashed open, indescribable shock filling them. The jolt he felt was akin to a very familiar voice pinging his mind.
Immediately, Cain opened his palm and summoned his soul energy, causing a Soul Link Artifact ring to appear.
With the ring in hand, Cain heard the clear, crisps voice of his unfathomable grandmother.
"Little Cain…are you there? We need to talk…"
