Cain's eyes snapped open, his pupils briefly flashing with sparkles of vague Lightning.
Looking down at his palm, clenching them over and again, feeling his joints crackled with power, Cain was enthralled.
The sensation of Innate Lord Realm and Sky Ruler Realm really was unforgettable. It was nearly an addicting sensation.
But Cain's initial excitement considerably calmed down.
He started to inwardly analyze, 'In the Heaven and Earth Path and the Source Law Path, I most likely reached what grandmother said was the Adept attainment level. Although, this is just a rough estimate. I need a clear source to tell.'
More than his base cultivation, Cain was far more eager to improve his attainment levels. At least in this path, he has a chance to catch up to his Dragon siblings very soon.
Switching his mind from his cultivation, Cain then decided to stimulate his Spiritual Sea.
Opening his palms, clumps of brilliant, dark blue lights rapidly gathered.
A powerful Spiritual aura discharged from Cain, containing overall power that is only slightly lacking behind his Qi energy.
Within seconds, a small ball of 2nd Class Spirit energy formed. This time, the Spirit energy was a completely dark blue hue. Furthermore, numerous Spirit insignia symbols patter along the surface of the Spirit ball.
Cain slightly grins, feeling equally pleased with this result. 'I'm not sure at all if I could match Amber in the Spiritual Laws attainment path. But the Late Layer should be good enough. After this is the purple class, and that would be a great help to all of us.'
The time Cain used to practice Spirit energy was considerably lower.
Truthfully, he may have an innate talent for this, but he lacks the pure instinct Amber had seemed to construct.
Amber's hard work could surprisingly match his speed despite having lower innate talent.
Compared to someone like Kali, who wouldn't be able to accept a lazy girl surpassing her, Cain was genuinely curious about how deep her passion ran.
Lost in slight thought, Cain didn't even notice space itself twisting around here.
Black lines containing marks of the space dao converged right beside him.
And it was this time that Cain heard his grandmother's voice.
"Little Cain, it is time for the Nightmare realm."
Hearing this, Cain was a bit shocked. The last time he checked, the Nightmare realm was supposed to open in a month.
If it's already time, wouldn't this mean he reached the Sky Ruler Realm in just a short month?
A flash of brilliance crossed Cain's eyes.
He was used to himself performing incredible feats. But with this, he felt as if a whole new world was just opening up.
Before his thoughts divulge any further, Cain felt the power of space twist around him.
A pulling force sucked his body, dragging him away from the Dragon Celestial Pool.
The next moment Cain blinked his eyes. He was already back in the Dragon Celestial Pool's Celestial mountain.
His eyes quickly landed on Shi Wei standing several feet away from him, a beautiful grin adorning her gorgeous face.
Shifting his attention off from her, Cain snapped his gaze over to his left and saw both Kali and Amber blinking their eyes. The power of space dazed their consciousness.
A strange sense of warmth swelled in Cain's Martial Heart.
Admittedly, after not seeing the girls for what felt like months, it truly did put his Soul at ease to be near the presence again.
And the moment Cain settled his gaze on them, both Amber and Kali instantly matched him.
"Ah, Cain." Amber's crimson eyes brilliantly shined like a twinkling star, her lips curving into a blossoming grin.
Her lushes silver hair that neatly fell to her waist seemed to sparkle in response to her happiness.
At that moment, her beauty seemed to enhance by several degrees.
Her skin took on a more creamy white complexion, just like the pure beauty of snow. Her body slightly grew, her curves becoming bewitchingly defined, her bountiful breasts growing to desire.
And of course, her face truly resembled a fairy, accentuating it was a cute rosy blush crossing her cheeks.
To top it all off, the black luxurious royal black robe she wore highlighted her seductive body to perfection.
Cain was in a bit of daze, feeling flames of desire rise within him.
But before he or anyone else could talk, Amber disappeared.
Amber was like a silver flash as she rushed into Cain's chest, tightly clinging her arms around him.
"Mn, this is nice." She sniffed into Cain's chest, taking a complete whiff of his Draconic scent, nuzzling her head into him like he was a pillow.
Cain instinctively wrapped his arms around Amber, a broader grin splitting across his face.
Indeed, it was at times like this where he remembers why he likes Amber so much. Only she could wash away any previous nerves or tension.
"Truly, that lazy girl can't help herself. Although it has been a while, right, Cain?" Kali's melodic voice, mixed with her ice-cold tone, slithered into Cain and Amber's ears.
While Amber didn't really bother to turn around, Cain quickly snapped his gaze over to Kali.
In that moment, he and Kali locked eyes without blinking.
A greater sense of surprise swelled in Cain over Kali's appearance and new presence.
She, of course, became more beautiful during this month.
Her looks were graceful, just like a fairy, her voluptuous body only growing more bewitching.
But more than just her appearance, there was a noticeable ice-cold presence naturally exuding from Kali.
Her black eyes seemingly twinkled with an icy glow. It was like she could freeze anyone who displeases with just a gaze.
Amber's presence was genuinely calming. While Kali was akin to a sharp blade exuding bone-chilling ice.
"Just the Sky Ruler realm, and you already changed this much? I shouldn't be surprised." An equally challenging smirk crossed Cain's lips, matching Kali's tempo.
Kali snorted, proudly crossing her arms while saying, "You say that. But not just me. You and her also changed a bit after reaching the Sky Ruler realm. At the very least, you feel much more of a threat."
Cain never really took the time to study appearance, mostly caring about Martial cultivation instead.
But indeed, Kali was right on his change.
He turned even more handsome. From his glossy, tender skin and perfectly lean body that filled out his Dragon robes.
To also his beautiful face that has sharp sword-like brows, gorgeous smile, and enchantingly deep black eyes that radiated the profoundness of the abyss.
And just like Kali, Cain's presence exuded a distinct sharp aura. It's as if he was a slumbering thunderstorm just waiting to be unleashed.
Cain merely smiled while shaking his head at Kali's provocations. He knew responding will only entice her to fight.
So instead, he snapped his attention back on Shi Wei, who was patiently waiting with a small smile.
A thought streaked into his mind as he asked, "Grandmother, can you control the Dragon Celestial Pool at will?"
Kali and Amber were similarly intrigued as Shi Wei's Space dao left an impression on them.
Shi Wei slightly nodded, explaining, "I have partial control. Would you believe that our leading Ancestor actually imparted partial control to me instead of your grandfather or the other Ancestor? He claims it was best suited to my cultivation path."
"Ah. So, grandmother, you are also a Space path cultivation." Kali directly asked, her intent icy eyes zeroing in on complete focus.
However, Shi Wei only lightly smiled at her.
She then shifts the focus around, telling the trio, "During your little talk, I had the chance to roughly inspect you three. What I sense doesn't disappoint. Still, summon all three of your essences so I can get an accurate judge of your attainment paths. Remember, this will be crucial for the Nightmare realm."
Cain and Amber had finally separated, and they simultaneously nodded with Kali.
They then promptly opened their palms, gathering their Qi, Minor Law essence, and Spirit energy.
A moment later, Sky Qi, Minor Law essence, and Spirit energy swirled around on their palms.
It was a bit of a spectacle to witness.
Cain's palm had a luminous stream of Lightning continually sizzling, flashing out small electric streaks.
Amber's palm was actually covered in pure Shadow essence. Her hand was pitch black, exuding a mysterious sensation.
And finally, Kali's palm had a small pillar of ice shooting out of the center. The Ice pillar had a noticeable twinkling shine while it discharged freezing frost essence.
Shi Wei instantly swept her Divine Sense over the trio. And after only a few seconds of silence, her expression significantly changed.
Rarely could Shi Wei feel her calm mental state disrupt. But as of now, clear surprise plastered her face.
Before the trio could ask, Shi Wei said, "In the three origins paths, you three made unprecedented achievements. Little Cain, your Heaven, and Earth Path attainment level reached Advanced Stage, Lage Success. Little Kali, your is around the same stage, only just at Small Success. While little Amber is behind you two but has reached the Ordinary Stage. The density of your Qis' is at least 7x times more. Rulong is only at 4x times density."
"We're already this far ahead?" A sparkling glint shined brighter in Kali's eyes than Cain and Amber.
Her goal may be beyond her family, but it still dramatically pleases her that she can suppress her genius Dragon Siblings. Especially when considering Rulong is at least the third highest talented.
Kali further asked, "Just what is Rulong attainment level anyways?"
Shi Wei lightly chuckled, a pleasing light swirling in her eyes. "Ah, you three wouldn't have a clear clue on the difficulty of attainment levels. You know, Rulong is actually in the upper echelons of geniuses when only considering Low to High God Galaxies realms. And even against Central realms, he is far above their ordinary crowd. But even with this, his attainment level is only at the Adept Stage, Large Success."
"I see…but, just how can you tell grandmother? For my own attainment level, I can see at most sense a vague feeling." Cain asked next.
"That vague feeling is one the major parts of it. I can perceive attainment levels because my Soul is engraved with its sensations. When you become truly proficient in this, you will simply know it from your Soul."
As she saw the trio nod, Shi Wei continued to explain, "Your Spiritual Souce Law is a bit more surprising. Cain, Kali, you two are actually far behind Amber. Your two only have Advanced Ordinary Sucess. While Amber is already at Advanced Peak Sucess. Truly she is not too far from reaching quasi-Expert! After quasi-Expert would be Expert, and after this is quasi-Master along with Master. Our Spirit Dragon Elders are only at the Master Stage. And they all took thousands of years of studious accumulations to reach their heights. I am sure you can see the importance of this, no?"
Cain simply grasped Amber's hand, both him and her pleasantly smiling over the joyous news, basking her achievement as a shared one.
While Kali only knitted her brows, profoundly staring at Amber for a split second before quickly snapping her gaze away.
"Now then, for the most important one for the Nightmare Realm." Shi Wei's tone gradually turned serious. "Cain, your level is Advanced Stage, Large Success. Kali is Advanced, Peak Success. While Amber is only Advanced, Ordinary. This alone will give you a tremendous advantage in advancing through the realm's rounds."
Feelings of pride swelled inside Cain, Kali, and Amber.
To think, they only needed seemingly a month before being able to match other God Galaxies geniuses who all have great backings.
'But then again, the first Huang Dragon Ancestor lived in the previous Era. And that was million years ago. It would be more strange if we couldn't massively grow. At the same time…I still feel weird about growth.'
As Cain inwardly thought, he suddenly came upon a question. He asked next, "Grandmother, I have to ask but isn't Rulong is around in his 30s at this point? I believe he may be 36 or 37 at this point. And he has been training ever since he was a young child. The Spirit Dragon Elders are all thousands of years old with high attainment levels as well. From all this, isn't our own attainment levels rising so quickly even with these great resources?"
Shi Wei merely gave a faint smile. "Little Cain, my our attainment in the Heaven and Earth path only reach up to quasi-Expert. The density of my energies amplification reaches up to 15x. But, there are other geniuses such as myself. And this is the base limit if one ever hopes to achieve the far-off Holy King Realm. But even so, I and many others, even grand Holy King figures, can't jump up minor boundaries. Our attainment level potential is already dried up, blocking us from making even a single step of progress. You three, however, your innate talent is an authentic heaven blessing.. Simply put, it's not an exaggeration."
