Chapter 908 Something Interesting
Cain looked over at Elder Qing, directly asking her, "Care to explain just why you all are considered so-called \'demons.\' It appears to me that the city has a specifically malicious grudge against all of you."
"Haah..." Elder Qing slowly shook her head. "Everything started on the action of our father\'s ancestors. He committed an atrocious action on the Great Duke\'s Saint Daughter, thus cursing all of his descendants and all those who related to him as unforgivable sinners. After the Duke took care of our ancestors, every one of his decadents and those related were banished into this city. To atone for our father\'s sins, our youngsters need to climb at least 20 floors of the Lord Marvel\'s Church. Nobody over the age of 200 can participate in an expedition. And those that can succeed are taken into Marvel City and our reputation becomes a bit brighter. Failure, which is more the likely outcome, will see many of us becoming eternal slaves to Marvel City\'s nobles since we need to have some use for our sinful lives."
Everything just streamed out of Elder Qing\'s mouth without end. She just needed a way to vent out something and release the accumulated stress piling onto her heart.
"I see." Cain\'s tone stayed calm.
That story seemed suspicious and could be explored more if they cared enough to help. But the trio saw no benefit in doing so. There was more benefit in joining the Great Marvel City than helping out anyone here.
It was at this time the ancient elder redirected his focus back to Cain\'s group. He made no attempt to attack now, simply asking, "You three. What are your intentions with us? Do you perhaps need some sort of specific resource for your Inner World?"
The kinder tone caused many to knit their brows. Cain\'s group was still another unknown nobody there could verify the threat of. They all wanted to be more cautious, but they quickly recalled that their highest talents were currently under Cain\'s control.
"We don\'t have any other intentions besides interacting with Marvel City. We may or may not need your help. Just don\'t worry about us causing trouble for you all. Get ready if we do need it." Cain simply said.
His words were practically orders to every Heavenly Venerate in the chambers.
Some of the more short-tempered Heavenly Venerates narrowed their eyes, a surge of killing intent sparkling through their souls. Other Heavenly Venerates struggled to maintain their calm, feeling indignant that a mere Holy King was telling them what was going to happen.
One would think something was going to go down at this moment.
However, none of the Heavenly Venerates made any attempt to move. They did not forget their positions. Two of their highest talents were under Cain\'s thump. Capturing Cain was impossible with that strange movement art that can escape out of a Heavenly Venerate Dao grasp. None of them could even detect the principles Cain used to move out of the void space.
The ancient elder also understood everything, simply nodding and saying, "Then carry on your way. I hope there\'s nothing you need right now as we will soon have our hands full."
"Not at this moment. Farewell for now." Cain casually spoke, grasped Kali and Luo Na\'s shoulders, and then teleported into the void space.
He was gone in an instant.
"Hm?" The Council Elders all furrowed their brows, their divine senses detailing to them that they could no longer detect Cain\'s group aura even thousands of miles away.
"Enough about them. It\'s time to discuss our plans now." The ancient elder retained the focus of the meeting.
A heavy atmosphere permeated as their thoughts chaotically swirled around the upcoming days.
...
Dozens of miles away from Basilisk City.
At one of the numerous trees of the surrounding forest, three figures wearing black masks calmly sat upon a thick and long branch.
Kali was rapidly tapping her finger even though she was in a position to relax herself. A slightly annoyed look twisted her beautiful face underneath that black mask.
"Ok. I\'m not one to complain that much about the environment. But seriously? We\'re going to cultivate in the wilds? Like we\'re some poor beggars?"
She was reminded of the very early days of her journey, where they had to cultivate in some mortal tribe since they weren\'t powerful enough to go anywhere else. Days she would like to forget more than anything.
"And where do you suppose we stay in the city?" Cain snorted in amusement. "Eyes are everywhere and especially on us after our violent introduction. Better safe than to be sorry, little girl."
"Yea, yea. Let\'s just get to it already." Kali slightly huffed.
The trio may not have an extreme environment to cultivate in like in the Master Tier sects or cultivation haven in the city. But a great environment wasn\'t needed with their current resource.
Cain, Kali, and Luo Na flashed out a soul-stunning soul orb from their spatial rings.
The gleaming light of this small orb seemed a bit faint. Its shine dims less than some of the random Dao runes on the ground. But even without a flashy appearance, nobody under Demi-Gods could ignore these orbs. They pull at anyone\'s soul, exuding a sensation that forces all to stare deeply into its profound mysteries.
Even the trio, with their higher cultivations, turned a bit daze staring into these unfathomable orbs.
Indeed, these were the Inner World source core they had received from the Extremity Demi-God.
The trio didn\'t want to make any huge moves until they had some sort of ground to go on in Great Marvel City. Since they had time to spare, the best way to use their time was to increase their cultivation.
All of them fused their soul energy into the Demi-God\'s source cores, unleashing otherworldly waves of essence energy throughout their entire beings.
"Haah..." Cain, Kali and even Luo Na couldn\'t stop from sighing. This wave of essence energy exuded an unfathomable warmth that sent shivers of pleasure to even the tiniest corner of their bodies.
The trio had zero problems fusing the Demi-God\'s source core essence energy throughout their Inner World.
The principles within this essence energy held the additional effect of turning their Extremity Dao principles even more dense. Not to a massive leap as they would hope for, but certainly enough to give them a greater edge in combat.
But the biggest benefit of it all was the space structure of their Inner Worlds enhancing with each passing second.
Stronger Inner Worlds means they will be able to fill up their spaces faster, thus allowing them to cultivate at a faster rate despite the extra requirements they need to get through the next stage.
Time swiftly passed in their cultivation trance.
The trio was immersed in their absorption, but none of them allowed themselves to completely ignore the outside world. They were ready just in case any wandering vicious beast or a group of cultivators thought they got lucky with sitting targets.
In a state of cultivation, especially with a resource like the Demi-God source core, the most Cain could do was use a tiny portion of Chaos Energy to conceal any energy leakage. However, the tiny leakage of energy could cause trouble to come.
Cain wasn\'t quite sure how much time had passed. He gathered hours, perhaps even days had already passed since they fell into their cultivation trance.
Nobody had come near them during their cultivation.
Just when it seemed like the calm and quiet would last, Cain\'s divine senses finally detected several life auras rushing to one particular area close by.
"Oh?" Kali raised an amused grunt as she and Luo Na detected the same movement.
The only people who can gather in this region are most likely to be from Basilik City and that Great Marvel City. Something good may come out of this mysterious meeting.
Thus, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na decided to split their focus to listen to whatever this meeting was about.
Their divine minds soon condensed a picture of two groups meeting up with each other merely hundreds of meters to their right.
