In the sky above the Endless oceans, a human-sized golden orb appeared, it hovered in the sky for a few seconds before exploding into millions of tiny light particles revealing a youngster in full black armor, Ghost. He stared around locking his eyes with an island in the distance. Other than the tiny island on the horizon, one could see nothing but an endless ocean, hence the na Endless Ocean.
"Lightning Dash"
He utilized the spell to traverse the sky over the oceans. He had already beco a bolt of lightning, soaring across the sky.
"Don't worry baby dragon, I'll save you" As he flew, he murmured, patting his chest where the baby dragon was resting.
Michael traveled over the Endless Ocean for another couple of hours before finally reaching the island. The tall mountain peak which seed like touching the sky itself stood majestically, the island was surrounded by wildlife and nurous waterfalls. What was unique about this island was its color. When looked at from the sky, one could see all the seven colors in the rainbow on the island. This was the first ti he saw bright blue trees.
Also, the island was very large, almost half the size of the Kingdom Bredia. However, there were not many people who lived on it, only a asly few hundred thousand people, and. A large portion of it was undeveloped wilderness. A huge, hundred-ter tall stone tablet was inserted into the ground at the harbor, and on it were two large, finely engraved words: Rainbow Island.
Michael descended into a dense forest on the island before walking towards the small port town not too far away. It was the only town on the island, and the entire population of the island lived there.
"I never thought there would be a population living here," Michael thought. From what he heard from Gaya, most of the powerful cultivators liked to live in secluded islands before leaving to the Cold Mountains where they would cultivate until either reaching the higher stages of cultivation or simply die of old age.
At this very mont, the sound of horses galloping could be heard vaguely in the distance. Nurous n on extrely simple horses slowly galloped over. They wore simple clothes, dust and splashes of sand could be seen on their clothes. They all had a smile on their faces, a smile that would only co when they achieve peace with themselves.
"Kimu, this ti, we must stay in the sea for at least a month. This ti I want to double our usual catch" The beefy, middle-aged man riding at the front laughed aloud.
"Damn right bro. Last ti we ca back from the sea too soon. If I could only catch a rare fish, I'll increase the size of my family, you know what I an hehe" A young man in his late twenties grinned devilishly from beside the middle-aged man. His face shone bright thinking about a good no, a great ti with his wife.
…
The n spoke as they rode their horses before quickly coming across Michael. His strange armor imdiately drew the attention of the n, each observing the black-robed youngster in wonder.
The group of people stopped ten ters before him. The leader, the beefy middle-aged man spoke to him, "Oi '' Michael slowed his pace when he heard the horse galloping to get the directions to Lailah's residence as there was no big mansion in his eyesight while he was on the air.
"You aren't a rainbow islander, are you? Where did you co from?"
Michael glanced over the n. Other than the leading middle-aged man, who was at the Body Refining stage level 8, the others were only at level 5 or level 4.
Michael waved with a smile on his face, "You are correct, brother. I'm not from Rainbow island, I ca to the island from a small kingdom in Elon continent"
The man did not notice that Michael studied them to see their cultivation level. He said boldly, "Elon Continent huh? You're a long way from ho, oh where are my manners, na is Keenan but you can call whatever you want. If I rember correctly, the last ti an outsider ca to our island seed to be twelve years ago. How do you want us to call you, is outside okay with you? Kenna asked laughing,
"I am Jake, I ca to this island looking for Miss Lailah Alden." He said politely. He did not look down on these people because of their cultivation level, who knows what their relationship with the Doctor?
"Lady, Lady Alden '' the man quickly corrected Michael with a smile and Michael could see their admiration and devotion these n have towards this Lailah Alden. If he tried to disrespect Laila, he was sure that these n would fight for her honor with their pikes and fishnets.
Jake, you must have won so kind of competition and earned the chance to see Lady Alden" Keenan completely misunderstood the situation but from his words, Michael realized that competitions are going on with the price of eting this Lailah Alden, his curiosity about this woman piqued.
As Keena spoke, he pointed at the tall mountain in the distance, "Do you see that huge mountain? That's the holy grounds of the island, called Angel peak. That's where the Lady Alden and her disciples live"
Michael looked towards the mountain and then gave a salute with two fingers, "Thank you brother for your help. I must see Lady Alden as soon as possible, so forgive for bidding farewell" With that, Michael lightning dashed towards the mountain before Keenan could say a word.
Very soon, he arrived at the mountain peak. He did not hide his presence so he wouldn't look like an intruder trying to sneak into their ho besides Michael could already sense two powerful presence coming at him.
"State your na and your purpose of being here at our Angel peak" A gentle, pleasant voice originated from the sky above the mountain. With two flashes of white light, two young, violet-dressed won appeared, both carrying veenas.
The two females only seed to be twenty years old. Their appearances were fair and alluring, rare beauties in the world. They were pretty enough to rival Claire, Celina, Peyton, and so on. After spending more than half a year in this world, he adjusted his mind to et angelic beauties, so their beauty didn't surprise him much.
However, what surprised him was that the two girls before him carried a celestial aura, like fairies. They clearly had sothing that those beauties he t previously never had, even Gaya
"Level 10 Core Strengthening stage"
The two girls before him were actually powerful level 10 Core Strengthening stage warriors. He quickly hid his shock, then he spoke calmly
"I am called Ghost," Michael's instincts told him to go with the na Ghost instead of the na he gave to Keenan. Sothing about these girls made him believe that they could sense a lie.
"I need Lady Alden's help to save- "
"The mistress of the island is currently in seclusion. She cannot help you now. Please co back another day." Although the woman sounded soft and respectful, Michael could sense a contempt in her voice, deep within.
Michael did not show any of his inner emotions on his face, after all, it was him who needed Lailah's help, not the other way around. After a slight hesitation, he asked, "Then when will Lady Alden co out of seclusion?"
"That's up to the mistress to decide. It may be a few days, a few months, a few years, or even a few decades." The woman continued testing Michael's patience. If he was stronger than them, he would have wiped that smug off her pretty face with a single slap but for now, he could only suppress his irritation.
"Argh!"
Suddenly, a howl filled with utmost pain reverberated from a cave on the mountain peak. With it followed various rumbles as countless rocks were sent flying from the cave. At the sa ti, the invisible Arch Energy in the surroundings slowly gathered towards the hole, while an extrely profound presence descended from the void. Michael felt an imnse pressure building up around him, making him almost kneel to the ground, it was like an invisible mountain was dropped on him. Even though he had never witnessed a sight like this before, he learned about this happening, thanks to Abras's mories.
"Soone is breaking through to the Soul Refining stage!" A sliver of shock had appeared in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the expressions of the two won changed. They imdiately cried out, "Oh gods, he's woken again. Quickly, use the sound of the veena to suppress his awakenings and put him to sleep again. We can't let him refine his soul, it'd be the end of him"
The two won no longer paid any attention to Michael. They directly sat down in the air and placed the veena they carried on their laps. Then they quickly but dexterously strum the veena's strings, creating a faint, divine lody. The pressure around Michael slowly decreased as he exhaled deeply. The lodious sound coming from the veenas echoed through the air, covering the entire Angel peak mountain. It seed to hum with space, causing slight distortions in the surrounding space. Everything around them, the trees, the wildlife, even the small particles of mud seed to be affected by this enchanting sound.
He couldn't help but feel relaxed, refreshed as he had just co out of a world-class massage.
"Who are these people?"
