Cain sighed with bliss first, saying, "No wonder everyone was so crazed to become a direct disciple. If we were geniuses on Xu Tao or Hu Wen's previous level, our cultivation would've greatly skyrocketed."
"That would've been a dream. But of course, for us, we're using everything and just barely surpassing the Great Divine Sea realm. I shudder to think how long we would've been stuck in the Sacred Sage realm, much less making it through the Divine Ascension." Amber spoke with a mirthful smile.
The duo became increasingly aware that by the time they reach Extreme Great Divine Sea, they would have very limited options in their resources. They might even need to seek out another massive lucky chance, just like with the Heavenly Venerate's soul ritual.
There was no telling how much extra work they would need to do in the Divine Star realm!
These worries certainly plagued Cain's mind. However, he could still lightly chuckle and speak with great confidence.
"I'd rather have this kind of speed and retain my current progress than progress faster with weaker combat prowess. Truthfully, we're very lucky Wen Dao didn't decide to snuff out during our rise. It would be hard-pressed for us to escape if a Divine Ruler hunted as Divine Origin cultivators."
Amber had a slight smirk for a moment before gaining a pondering expression. "That just makes me wonder, why do these Divine Decree Lords have such confidence? Sure, during our Divine Origin days, we weren't at our current level. But even Wen Shao tried to kill us as a possible threat. But even then, that guy only sent out average Divine Star experts than the peak genius ones. Is the Divine Ruler realm really that big of a chasm?"
These thoughts stayed on Cain's mind as well for many days. He slowly said, "It's like I said before, there must exist a different level of power in the Divine Ruler realm that I doubt even Divine Mortals can breach. I mean, though we grew much stronger, I can only easily kill half-step Divine Rulers at 70% of my full power along with the Dragon Swift Sword. While you needed to use your full power and your Red Noble Staff. We can only truly experience this chasm if we ever get a chance to fight a Divine Ruler. And I think such an opportunity would come very soon."
Amber lightly snorted. "Oh, yeah? Those direct disciples most likely will have a problem with us. Especially now that we outperformed everyone once again. As genius Divine Rulers, they won't be convinced otherwise."
At this point, Amber and Cain suddenly jerked. They felt a faint, sweeping sensation emerge from their souls.
Amber calmly looked up into the skies and said, "Our Master is here."
Similarly calm, Cain and Amber got into position, standing shoulder to shoulder with each other. Soul energy circulated throughout their entire beings.
As they surged their Inner Soul Space, an unfathomable sensation completely engulfed them.
A pulse of energy that Amber couldn't understand at all and Cain could just barely perceive covered the whole atmosphere. The air didn't vibrate. Nor did space shatter like glass.
But even still, a powerful presence rattled Cain and Amber to their very souls!
The Breath of the Great Dao had once again appeared before them.
But unlike the first time, Cain and Amber forced themselves to not get swept by these sensations. Their bodies practically engraved the sensations of the Greater Dao into their Spiritual Sea.
It was impossible to understand the energy principles behind this sensation. But Cain and Amber could retain their minds. They allowed themselves to calmly reveal the Greater Dao sensations while keeping their faces coolly focused.
What may seem like an irrelevant step was actually a step in the right direction.
At this moment, a soft chuckle reverberated throughout the entire area. The voice was light, near inaudible. Yet, it drilled into Cain's and Amber's minds as if she was right next to their ears.
"Very good. If you can already retain a state of mind under this sliver of sensation, reaching the Divine Ruler realm will come naturally and faster than most others rates."
Space didn't loudly tear. But a beautiful woman had suddenly appeared only a few meters from the duo.
The moment she appeared, all the air around her went completely dead. The World Source Laws and Heaven and Earth's Divine Essence couldn't flow right with this woman's presence.
Of course, this unfathomable woman was Supreme Elder Xi.
Cain and Amber respectfully bowed. Lifting their heads back up, Cain asked, "Master? It's been on my mind for some time, but what are the specialties of the Divine Ruler. As far as I know, this is where one undergoes a Dao Tribulation, gains Supreme Divine Laws and something known as a Dao Origin."
Elder Xi nodded with a smile. "This is the superficial level of knowledge that is known to all others. To truly understand the Divine Ruler realm, you will need to undergo the Dao Tribulation yourself. However, there are keynotes I can inform you of. The Divine Origin, Great Divine Sea, and Divine Star realm are all superficial comprehension of a Great Dao. The Law Dimensions are superficial separated spaces that a Great Dao exudes for a martial cultivator to fortify their perception abilities, Spiritual Sea, internal body, and Inner World. The power of any Great Dao is vast and boundless. No matter the Law you cultivate, the power behind that Law, and the abilities it can create, is a new level of comprehension. Such power isn't easy to control. Thus, our ancestors laid down our cultivation system. And it's why it's very typical to see one utilizing only one Dao Law."
Cain and Amber suddenly felt a small part of their minds clear up. Now they finally knew just why Minor, Major, and Divine Law dimensions exist.
All this time, the duo believed they were actually gaining higher attainments with a Great Dao. But in reality, they haven't taken one foot on its true path.
Cain asked another question. "Since it's so, then, the Starorbs we use in the Divine Star realm are the very last step of comprehending the superficial Great Dao before finally taking it to the next level?"
Before speaking, Elder Xi slowly raised her hand. Her palm opened and already space started to distort. She said, "Indeed. Those Starorbs are only half the power of what a Dao Source Core can truly do. When you began absorbing essence from the Starry Heaven Skies, you will fully understand what I mean. The Starry Heaven Skies is the answer to your and even mine questions. When your Divine Laws reach their absolute perfection, your superficial comprehension is completed. The Spiritual Sea will completely evolve. After its evolution, one has the chance to seek out the way of Supreme Divine Laws."
"Supreme Divine Laws is true Great Dao comprehension. Just mastering a small portion of Supreme Divine Laws means a complete transformation. You are no longer utilizing the superficial portion of a Great Dao. Rather, you a directly controlling a small portion of 50% of a unique True Great Dao essence! Tell me Lee, Xun. Do you know the difference between the superficial Great Dao and the True Great Dao?"
Cain and Amber suddenly felt dry in their thoughts. Their thoughts crazily surged. A surge of anticipation shot through their bodies like a boiling volcano.
They shook heads at the same time. "No, we don't."
Cain and Amber blinked, their Divine Sense focused intently on Elder Xi's palm.
A surge of swirling black lightning instantly pooled from the center of Elder Xi's palm. The essence energy expanded out at light speeds. Wherever it soared, the air didn't split, nor did space shatter apart.
But before the duo's very eyes, sections of the air and sections of Space Laws had actually morphed into Elder Xi's black lightning!
This black lightning essence energy covered a range of 200 meters behind Elder Xi. It wasn't enough to engulf the entire courtyard, but the darkness of the black lightning was like a birth of a new world.
Everything within the black lightning range would be trapped in Elder Xi's Dao energy principles!
Anyone weaker or even in the same realm as her would gain a sensation of wanting to prostrate to Elder Xi. In her world, only her Dao Laws matter. World Source Laws didn't exist at all. The environment couldn't stop the reformation of its World Source Laws.
Cain and Amber deeply stared into the small world of black lightning. Their Spiritual Seas fell into a near, complete mess. However, just a sliver of their Spiritual Sea could faintly perceive the black lightning energy principles.
It was entirely shocking to them.
Cain especially felt a considerable fright. This was because, in both complexity and density, the energy principles felt eerily similar to what Cain could exude in his 70% power state with the Dragon Swift Sword!
Elder Xi suddenly said, "It's not possible for a Divine Ruler to achieve this feat. Even other Primal Sovereigns would fail at it. I can create this small lightning world because of my attainment level. But, the point is, with Supreme Divine Laws, you are harnessing the true powers of a Great Dao. Through Supreme Divine Laws, can you connect with the Starry Heaven Skies. The unfathomable place where the souls of the 3000 Great Daos reside. And the place where you form your Dao Origin into your Inner World, thus beginning the process of forming an Origin Soul in your Inner World."
"Just a speck of Supreme Divine Ruler essence can erase hundreds of Divine Star warriors. The release of one's Dao Origin can crush half-step Divine Rulers. The smallest amount of true Great Dao power will evolve anyone's entire being. Hence why Divine Rulers are commonly known as the lowest of high-class society. Now, if you were any other direct disciples, this would be where other elders end their explanation. However, you two have managed to achieve a truly terrifying feat. One that puts your energy principles near, or even on the same level as Supreme Divine Laws. Your Quasi-grandmaster attainment levels."
Enthralled by the discussion, Amber asked next, "Ah, I think understand it. The energy principles we condense and form into a higher complexity aren't the superficial Great Dao, but something extremely close to the True Great Dao? The essence behind our energy principles is also the reason why our Inner World foundation is extreme, right?"
"That's right. You two perception abilities surpass that of the superficial Great Dao and Spirit Dao because of your attainment levels. As of now, you are truly comprehending the essence of the True Great Dao. It's why can pass yesterday's tests so easily and casually suppress half-step Divine Rulers as if they were ants. Of course, with only a quasi-grandmaster attainment level, you are at a slightly lower level than what Divine Rulers perceive. But still, it is unmistakingly True Great Dao essence. You're not at the Divine Ruler realm and yet, you two are continually strengthening your Inner World to equal such a level. It's quite amazing."
To be highly praised by a Primal Soverigen grandmaster would be the dream of many top-tier geniuses.
Out of all Elder Xi had seen, she could say with certainty that her praise was the most deserving to Cain and Amber.
