"Heaven blessing? Are we really that special? And, are you truly limited, grandmother?

"

Kali couldn't help but feel genuine sadness for Shi Wei. It truly sounds like her Martial Road reached an insurmountable roadblock.

But Shi Wei showed zero complex emotions, only lightly saying,

"Indeed I am. And indeed, you three are truly special. I wouldn't say this is completely concrete. But your blessings seemed to be a mixture of massive luck and maybe even fate! No matter what, to raise attainment levels, even with the dangerous methods, takes dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of years of accumulation. Dai and Xun have been stranded at the Heaven and Earth Path Adept Stage, Large Success, for 17 years. And even now, they have no hope of reaching Peak Success anytime soon. The reason your cultivation and Spirit energy can smoothly grow and continually evolve to a more powerful state isn't strange at all. The higher your attainment, the far smoother your journey will be. Controlling Divine Qi is a challenge for even Heavenly Great World geniuses but for you three, it will be undoubtedly smooth.

"

Intently listening to her, the trio was in silent contemplation.

Kali and Amber were mainly taking in just how immensely talented they really were and how they underestimated themselves before.

While Cain felt incomparably mixed.

This wasn't the first time Shi Wei mentioned something about fate again. But he never took it to heart as he truly doesn't believe much about the mystical concept of fate.

As for luck, that was where his genuine interest lay.

Previously, Shi Wei only mentioned a bit of luck. The most she told him was that while everyone is born with a Soul's Core, it will be luck that determines their potential and talent in all aspects.

Of course, external factors such as inherited bloodline, life Spirit Formations, or other mysterious things can significantly influence anyone's birth.

But in the end, it is hard to predict just the kind of talent, and potential one will be birth with.

And considering Cain had transmigrated into this body, he was understandably confused about his own circumstances.

Was his original body that unlucky to be born a cripple?

But why did he transmigrate in it and suddenly obtain this godly level amount of talent?

And for that matter, where did the Chaotic Emerald and Ancient Chaos manual fit into all of this? This was the reason he had even reached this universe in the first place.

Numerous questions Cain just had no idea about it and couldn't necessarily say them out loud.

For now, Cain simply pushed these thoughts down.

All roads lead to dead-end answers, so his only option was to use his immensely lucky birth to its fullest advantage.

Cain then decided to ask,

"With all this cleared up, just how well can we do in the Nightmare realm, grandmother?

"

"Exceedingly well truthfully. But don't get conceited. Even with higher control, there are many situations that can turn deathly for you three. Remember this advice well; engrave it into your Soul for the rest of your journey. Always treat all enemies, even your weaker ones, with your full strength. Never become conceited.

"

Shi Wei's brilliant purple eyes stared down the trio with indomitable intensity.

The trio didn't respond, only solemnly nodding, taking her words deep into their Soul's Cores.

Shi Wei's expression relaxed a bit. She then informed them,

"Good. Now then, after some long discussion, it has been decided that only the three of you will go. Apparently, from recent reports, strange rumors have spread about Divine experts mysteriously disappearing while close to the Nightmare Realm. We don't want any risks, so we will be going in a secluded fashion for the first part. I know for the second part, each of you will cause quite a ruckus. For this, I would love to be your protector for this trip, but my schedule is filled. Thus, Spirit Dragon Elder Weilong will escort you three. You three will leave now unless there is something you need to do?

"

Cain, Kali, and Amber only briefly thought it over before shaking their heads.

Genuinely, they were all eager to explore a quasi-mystic realm that has direct properties to the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, it was placed down by an expert in the legendary Heavenly Venerate Realm!

The gains they could obtain won't be small at all.

Shi Wei silently nodded and then raised her hand, coating it in a faint purple glow.

The power of space twisted around them, causing each of them to vanish in the same purple glow.

…

A day later.

Desolate Plains, near the Nightmare realm.

Above the eerie black miasma mist, the massive mountain range was now fully blooming with numerous groups.

Excitement and eager anticipation filled the atmosphere.

Today would be the day when the Nightmare realm finally opens up!

Through the deduction skills of several World Spirit Masters experts, they were eventually able to find out the correct date.

And once this news had spread around, it was an unstoppable snowball effect.

With huge benefits surrounding the Nightmare realm, nobody was willing to let it go just because of a slight possibility of danger.

Nearly everyone in the mountain range was settling their sights at the highest mountain top.

This mountain top stretched for at most thousands of feet into the skies, majestically piercing right through the clouds.

And at the peak of the mountain top, visible white light was continually expanding.

The white light was nearly breathtaking, appearing like a divinely beautiful white sun.

The younger Divine cultivators there were honestly enthralled by the ever-expanding white light engulfing the skies.

At one of the numerous mountain terrains, a group of people wore luxurious azure-colored robes.

These people exuded a strong natural presence, far superior to an average lone Divine cultivator.

They hail from the Azure Wind Sect. A smaller-scale Holy Lands with average Divine Star warriors leading them.

In perspective, they were weaker than even the Lightning Beast Sect.

One of the Azure Wind disciples couldn't take his eyes off the glorious white light.

He suddenly asked his protector Elder,

"Elder Lei, I've never seen such an awe-inspiring display of Space Laws. Can that White Light really tear right through God Galaxie's World Source Laws?

"

Elder Lei slowly nodded, a deep look of admiration flashing within his eyes.

"Naturally, this and any other quasi or full mystic realm can. The Dao Marks within them are on legitimate equal standing with the grand Heavenly Dao. Even with hundreds of thousands of years passing, these realms' strength will take a greatly long time to wither away. Moreover, Heavenly Venerate Nightmare Lord was quite famous even among other geniuses. The Space Dao Marks in his quasi-mystic Realm possibly surpasses current Heavenly Venertes.

"

"He really is so strong!

" He and the other disciples exclaimed in wonder.

With such an unfathomable history behind him, the disciples couldn't help but feel an invisible sense of danger.

They all know the more powerful something is, the more danger would reside around it.

Thus, one of the disciples suddenly asked,

"So, are the rumors true? Is Heavenly Venerate Nightmare Lord remnant spirit still lurking around, causing those disappearances?

"

"This…is only a rumor in the end.

" Elder Wei firmly shook his head.

"After all, how could it ever be possible for a Soul to live on for so long? It is all but impossible for us Martial cultivators to cultivate the Soul. And not even Soul attainment World Spirit Masters have the ability. Moreover, the ones disappearing are merely the far weaker forces, and they occurred at sporadic intervals. We have nothing to worry about.

"

As the Azure Wind Sect people spoke, a sudden grand commotion shook the entirety of the mountain range.

Bright luminous lights flames ignited parts of the skies. Powerful Divine auras, all exuding heat equal to the rays of the sun-washed over like a tidal wave.

It truly was like a sun was lowering to the mortal world.

Countless Divine cultivators instantly recognize who could make this kind of grand entrance.

"It is the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands!

"

As people came to this conclusion, four orange flashes tore through the air, twisting space around them. Their speeds were extremely quick, rapidly reaching one of the highest mountain terrains within just seconds.

Before the Divine cultivators' very eyes, one of the highest spots was chosen without any discussions.

The higher the spot, the earlier of a head start would the Ancient Phoenixes have.

It was a clear, superior advantage. Yet, no Divine cultivators dared to call them out for it.

This was the separation of true strength.

These weaker forces from all kinds of Sects or Holy Martial families couldn't hold a candle to the behemoth of the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands.

They all simply had to endure.

Although, that wasn't to say there weren't powerful forces that fell so far behind the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands.

At one mountain terrain, just hundreds of feet below, the Ancient Phoenixes had one of these stronger forces.

This group all donned classy light blue robes made up from the finest Spirit materials, causing their clothes to slightly glow. Decorating these soft blue robes were finely crafted symbols of a unique sword.

The sword in question took on the appearance of a Lightning bolt, dangerously sharp with a zig-zag design.

These people hail from the Thunderous Sword Sect. A Holy Land only second rate to Holy Lands like the Ancient Phonix Sect.

Neither the Lightning Beast Sect nor Azure Wind Sect can match them even when combined.

In this group, there was one older-looking man and three beautiful young youths.

Two were fairy-like young women, and the other was a brilliant, handsome young man.

These were the Thunderous Sword Sect's top younger generations.

The young man was named Zheng. The young maiden with crystal jewels decorating her long lushes hair was named Cui. The final one had the most extraordinary presence of them all.

She was the top sword genius, Qiu Lan.

As the three sword geniuses sat around, waiting, Zheng and Cui were openly conversing.

Cui was asking,

"Say, since the Phoenxises had finally shown up, where are the Huang Dragons? I'm admittedly curious to see what Sir Cain is like. Especially now with all the rumors surrounding him.

"

Zheng slightly sighed, saying,

"I have a feeling he won't be too different from the other Imperial children. But, I do hope there's a chance he isn't as pompous as all of them are.

"

At this moment, Qiu Lan had suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze was seemingly calm, yet her eyes carried a slight intrigued glint.

"I do not believe that Cain is like that. At least, the last I spoke to him, he had an amicable personality. Although, it has been months since I last spoke to him. I am not sure what is he currently like. Still, I have high hopes for him.

"

"Hm, maybe you're right, Sister Lan. But still, Sir Cain's talent is immense! His Dao test even went beyond the Holy King Realm! Even if he can't reach that Realm in the future, becoming a Divine Ruler is all but assured for him.

" Cui spoke with honest traces of admiration.

Zheng couldn't help but join in sighing with longing as he said,

"The waves he'll make in the Nightmare Realm would undoubtedly be huge. And there also apparently his sister that is equally as monstrous. I wonder just how far the disparity truly is.

"

Neither he nor Cui brought up the third partner to Cain's group. After all, that girl was confirmed to be Cain's partner. And in their position, it wasn't pruned to bring that up.

Although, that didn't stop Qiu Lan from pondering over that mysterious girl. She was wondering just how much of a monstrous existence she is to match someone of Cain's talent.

Qiu Lan was an astute Martial cultivator. Naturally, she would treat Cain's group as rivals or goals to look up to than any other unnecessary feelings.

In the midst of her thoughts, Qiu Lan suddenly heard her protector Elder's voice within her mind.

'Remember, no matter what Cain's personality is, you must accommodate his wishes. The marriage would be the greatest benefit to our Sect in recent history.'

Truthfully, the Thunderous Sword Sect is already immensely grateful that the Huang Dragon family didn't release any news about their marriage contract.

Though Amber is known, it didn't mean anything about their own contract.

Still, the longer no explicit confirmation comes out, the more suspicious their surrounding enemies would grow.

Thus, for this trip, not only were Qiu Lan's own gains were important. But she must also form strong ties to Cain.

Understanding this, Qiu Lan felt a noticeable ripple in her Martial Heart.. However, she only focused on the task at hand, dutifully replying, 'I will do my best, Elder Weng.'
