Cain was glad it wasn't anything like several years or sothing. But even as a cultivator who can spend decades of ti in close-door cultivation, being without your special partners or so ti would prick at any cultivator's soul.
Cain could only sigh and say, "I truly never ant to stay out for so long. I was planning on coming back quite soon, actually after so recent gains. Here's what basically happened to ..."
Using so ti, Cain went on to explain most of his travel since leaving Cloudsea Holy Land.
He omitted nurous details and only kept the key facts. Including the mysterious Heavenly God Sect and their ruse at trying to forcefully capture him.
At the end of his explanation, the girls were silent for a mont, they all slowly processing the information.
Lan Rui was the first to murmur, 'Heavenly God sect? Hellfire realm? Hidden Heavenly Venerates? This is all...I don't know what to say. My master had never once ntion things like this.'
'And what's up with all their secrecy?' Yulong's tone was aggressive, holding an evident dislike for this Heavenly God Sect.
She can beco increasingly aggressive while saying, 'This should be a call for action! Do they really think they can do as they please? They're looking down on everyone else far too much!'
Her roots were deeply seeded within the God Galaxy. Those who disdain upon or feel superior to her holand wouldn't be welco at all.
Her sentints were shared by the girls and even Cain, to a lesser degree.
Though, Jin Ya brought up a different topic to this issue. 'Even with their actions, I highly doubt it'll be easy to find them. From what senior martial brother claims, they are experts at hiding their track if the only thing that can find them is a special map. And who knows the depths of their background strength? No, what we should focus on is getting senior martial brother back ho.'
'Mn. I wholeheartedly agree...but...' Amber sounded hopeful at first, but concern began to warp her tone seconds later. 'You said you're now in the Central Starfield, right? That's way too far for even a Heavenly Venerate to travel. Moreover, we can only contact each other through this ring, not find our locations. Looking for you in the Central Starfield would be worse than trying to find a divine peal in an ocean.'
Her blunt yet truthful words caused a somber mood to perate. All of them had their own reasons and special experiences with Cain. Such experiences that left an imnsely deep impression on their souls. It truly was difficult to bear not seeing him any longer.
The sa could be said for Cain. But even so, Cain knew focusing on depressing matters won't get them anywhere.
His tone was calm as he said, "Let's just keep focus, ok? In this environnt, my cultivation will rapidly soar and soon enough, I'll pull enough resources to see you all again. Focus on the bright future."
"Oh? Speaking of bright futures." Yulong's cheeriness had already returned to her voice. Her tone even beca a bit teasing. 'I know it's pretty much destined for so like Cain. So? What woman do you have swooning over you now?'
'Swooning over?' Cain wryly smiled. 'I've only t Zexi. And like I said, without her, I would've probably been tortured by those damn demons. So, I owe her quite a bit. And since I know you'll ask Yulong, she is indeed a beauty.'
'So you say...but I can tell there's a lot more to this story.' Yulong's curling smile could almost be heard in her voice.
'Mn...well, he is a bit troubleso in this regard.' Amber sighed with slight amusent.
Lan Rui and Jin Ya didn't comnt, but Cain could practically see their blushing faces.
Shaking his head, he focused back on the main topic and said, 'Alright, alright. I need to go now. Those Heavenly Venerates really are expecting much from . We'll talk soon.'
'Stay safe!' 'You must stay safe!' The girls shouted at the sa ti. With Yulong being the more demanding one of them all.
Promising the girls to keep his life, Cain dispersed the contact ring.
A bit of a hollow sensation rippled through Cain. He nearly wanted to call the girls right back. Hearing their beautiful voice was still sending shivers down his soul.
But now wasn't the ti to lose focus. Cain quelled his nerves with soul energy and began to focus on his mission.
He had a day to get ready and leave. But Cain found there was no need to take so much ti. Entering into a ditative state, he began adjusting himself to his best combat potential state.
...
A few hours quickly breezed by.
At this ti, Cain snapped his eyes open, his pupils glimring with blinding electricity and faint rays of divine ice.
A faint surge of excitent blossod through his mind and body. Admittedly, he held so anticipation of facing the Divine Decree Lords of the Central Starfield.
These lords would be superior to the ones he faced in the Starfall Wasteland. True talents who can easily suppress nearly their entire generation.
Cain hoped sobody there will give him a good chance to stretch his arms.
Before leaving, he was about to re-check the content of this mission. However, as he picked up his spatial ring, he soon detected a familiar divine aura at his front door steps. It was a pleasant and slight surprise.
With a thought, the door swung open, revealing the beautiful maiden Zexi.
Her usual charming face was now warped with slight concern. There wasn't any hesitation in her steps as she directly walked in and locked eyes with Cain, saying, "Thank the lords I got here before you left, brother Cain. They really weren't going to let see you! I swear, these old folks are too uptight about statuses and placent."
Naturally, Cain wasn't disturbed by Zexi's concern. He casually smiled and said, "I'm assuming you got here because you are the direct connection that led here in the first place, right?"
"Mn." Zexi nodded. And a slightly solemn expression erged on her beautiful face. "But enough about . Brother Cain, are you sure about accepting a mission from the ancestors? I've only just barely got information from high Elder Pang. But even so, anything that the ancestors surely won't just be hard. It will be an imnse challenge! Elder Pang had just vaguely ntioned you'll be facing the more terrifying Divine Decree Lords, right? You can't underestimate a single one of them!"
Not a single hint of nerves could be seen on Cain. Though his curiosity was piqued. "It seems you know a bit more than surface level knowledge? That's all got from my instructions. Apparently, everyone really wants to watch out for this Master Shao guy."
"Master Shao..." A tiny quiver was hinted within Zexi's voice. "Indeed...he's one of the most frightening among the Astral Demons. The gaps between the minor stages of Holy King are supposed to be wider and wider. Even fighting a slightly talented late stage master is nightmarish. I've heard so many elders speak of horror stories of needing to gang together to kill one talented late stage master. And this Lord Shao can practically crush anyone in the late stage! There's a reason why he's so fear. He goes around challenging the late stage senior masters of various Holy Lands and never once lost a fight."
