"Yes….yes! It's young World Spirit Cain and Kali. And it seems like the Vampire Princess is accompanying them.

"

The Azure Lightning City's Families and Clan youths instantly recognized the trio.

And as they did, each of them slowly turned rigid.

Completely out of nowhere, they're in the presence of practically majestic nobilities! This trio of youths all holds statuses that couldn't ever be contested against.

Most certainly, the Senior genius Innate Lords has no intentions of carelessly speaking to them.

But at the same time….the thought of making a connection bred into each of these Class-level Families youths' minds.

Perhaps if they played their cards right, they could form just a vague tie that can sprout into something much more! Achieving this would be no less than the rewards they could gain from the Crypt Graves.

These Class-level Families all placed tremendous importance on connections. It's precisely how each of them could survive the tide against the powerful Martial Sects.

As for connections, none of them had the slightest thought of becoming someone like Amber.

Cain's reputation made it seem like he's the type to be uncaring about personal relations and only forged a bond with Amber through a lucky chance.

Sending beautiful maidens to him would be the equivalent of attempting to do with an ordinary World Spirit Master.

As for Kali, that was even a more hopeless case.

She's directly known to never have any other associates besides her brother. Moreover, there was a noticeable trace of disdain layering her eyes, dissuading all those for even having thoughts about her.

The most these Class-level Families youths can depend on was Cain's amicable nature.

But, even with all these thoughts in mind, there was an evident lack of courage for any to follow through on it.

The pressure was simply too suffocating. Just one wrong slip-up could mean a disaster they can't avoid. And nobody wants that kind of heavy burden to fall upon their shoulders.

When the Tribal Domain's youths spotted Cain's group, naturally, they also heard the surrounding crowd speak in such high reverence.

And while they all fear such legendary existences, none of them decided to pay too much attention.

After all, they lived in partially different worlds from City folks. Nothing they do will ever considerably affect them.

One group with a fiery, determined light in their eyes was the Jade Sword Palace geniuses.

Naturally, as the fourth most powerful organization, they all had confidence and majestic bearings the others couldn't hope to match. Even just down to their courageous appearance, a sense of heroic dashing presence radiated from each of them.

These youths all wore luxurious blue-red jade robes and had finely crafted swords strapped to their backs.

This was a particular oddity as Martial cultivators typically kept their Spirit Weapons inside their Spatial Rings. But for these Jade Sword sect geniuses, carrying their swords was a symbol of status. Status that they're pouring their entire hearts of Martial cultivation into the way of the sword.

And it could also be considered a form of sword training for them, having the ability to perceive sword Energy at all times.

With this kind of determination, it was no wonder why none of them backed down against Cain's group.

"Say, Amber…they're from the Jade Sword Palace, right?

" Cain suddenly whispered over, uncaring about all other talks about his group.

Amber as well didn't pay anyone any heed as she answered,

"Mn. Indeed they are. You're probably confused about the swords strapped on them, right? Well, it's because these guys are such fanatics; all of their swords are a bit special than others. Each of them is crafted by only sword Energy and was made by a World Spirit Master who has sword affinity.

"

Listening to this, Cain and even Kali arched their brows. They had faint guess these youths carried the swords for practice. But weapons made purely from sword Energy and only by a World Spirit Master?

That was entirely out of their scope of expectations.

Typically, World Spirit Masters only significantly helps with a unique profession in cultivation.

That is, the weapon refinements cultivators.

Because cultivators comprehended and perceived all manner of energy, including those that come from the origin of weapons, they would be best suited to construct Qi Spirit weapons.

To create a Qi Spirit weapon, a refinement cultivator would need Qi Materials, perception of that specific weapon's energy, and a World Spirit Master.

Fully completing a Qi Spirit weapon requires a World Spirit Master to connect the origin of that weapon together by Spirit Energy.

Through Spirit Energy, a Qi Spirit weapon can be said to be given life. It allows the Qi Spirit weapon's energy to fully integrate with the precious Qi materials, creating a powerful tool used for destruction.

Both sides are needed for this process. Refinements cultivators for constructing a weapon's base and inscribing its Qi Materials with the origin of the weapon's energy. And World Spirit Master for completely fusing everything together, giving birth to a new order.

When thinking of this, Cain and Kali couldn't wrap their heads around how just a World Spirit Master created these swords.

Kali suddenly asked,

"Don't tell me….is there some sort of secret genius that is not known to the public? A World Spirit Master shouldn't be able to create a Qi Weapon purely on their own.

"

"Oh…I guess they haven't told you about World Spirit Master Zhou. He's actually quite famous when concerning the Jade Sword Palace. Basically, World Spirit Master Zhou has as much of a shoddy cultivation foundation as any other World Spirit Master. But, his perception of sword Energy puts even the Jade Sword Palace Master to shame. Not sure how he attained such high results, but he did it and practically has the entier Jade Sword Palace eating out of his palm.

"

For a moment, a slight chill crept up Cain and Kali's spines. This powerhouse made them suddenly recall their own Royal Family.

Their Supreme Dragon god Elders, who are also World Spirit Masters, similarly have incredibly high attainments in branching affinity Energies. Their value and prowess are something that is even just slightly below the current Dragon God-Emperor.

Comparing this to their own situation, the sibling duo realized they wouldn't even need to depend on those high and mighty Elders.

If they can simply perceive a weapon's origin energy to its highest form, they could craft their own powerful weapons!

Furthermore, with powerful enough Spirit Energy, they would be able to even make their Royal Family bow down to them with help.

In Martial Prowess, one's weapon is one of the most critical assets. With it, one's strength can be displayed to their absolute limit. Or perhaps even rise far beyond their limit by dozens of degrees!

Even World Spirit Masters has their own auxiliary weapons that tremendously aids with controlling Spirit Energy.

So if they ever faced powerful World Spirit Master as well, Cain and Kali had wild ideas about making them bend to their knees.

Of course, these were all thoughts for the far future. Reaching that kind of immeasurable level would likely take hundreds of years. But the seeds to continue on this path have indeed been planted.

As his eyes glazed over the Jade Sword Palace youths' swords, Cain suddenly asked,

"If my theory is right, these guys are carrying their Swords for continuous training, right? Probably something relating to always perceiving Sword Energy?

"

"You got all that from just a casual glance?

" Amber's eyes lit up before wryly smiling.

"But yea, you're right. At least, I've read around that these guys cultivate the Various Ways of the Sword. If they ever want to experience enlightenment, they would need to be in a continuous state of perceiving sword energy. It doesn't matter what they do; their swords will always be with them. Interestingly enough, though these guys are two places under our Academy in terms of overall strength, each individual Sword cultivator is a bit scarier than most. I mean, even the Azure Lightning Sect extreme geniuses lost to their talents a few times in the past.

"

"Is that right?

" Cain and Kali felt their interest increase.

From what they read around, those in the Lower Realm considered Sword Energy as the fastest and deadliest striking power of them all.

In terms of the vast, boundless universe, neither Cain nor Kali can confirm this to be true. But, if sword energy can even contend with the powerful Lightning attribute, it certainly has its own powerful merits.

Taking his attention to the Jade Sword Palace youths for a moment, Cain observed the other groups.

There were various other Class-level Families and Clans he didn't see before gathered around him. And other Tribal Domain's powers that he had only read about.

Out of these groups, the only ones who also didn't shrink from their presence were the Martial Immortal Valley disciples.

Each of them wore that signature robes with luxurious flames designs and radiated a supreme Aura of pride. Although, there was something incredibly curious about this group.

These Martial Immortal Valley disciples had varying degrees of cultivations. But, the number of Innate Core geniuses outweighed the number of Profound Soul geniuses.

And yet, from the formation of the group, it seemed like the two youths in the center held the most importance.

But strangely enough, these youths neither looked anything special nor exuded an unfathomably strong Aura.

These two actually wore some strange black hoodie and mask that covered a large part of their faces. Odd markings were carved into their masks and hoodies, causing them to stand out despite the fact nobody could even see their faces.

And as Cain swept his gaze over these masked youths, Amber's brows tightly knitted. Confusion filled her eyes as she struggled to understand these youths.

Whispering so only Cain and Kali could hear her, she slowly uttered,

"Those two… they're truly are strange, right? Well, it's even more than just their odd choice to cover their faces.. You see those markings? Those looked just a bit similar to the strange markings those Ink Rain Sect disciples haves engraved into their clothes and tattooed on their faces.

"
