Chapter 216 - Attention From High Above
Out of the trio, Amber visibly reacted the most when hearing the Central Divine Region. Her eyes slightly widened as information began to quickly surface within her mind.
As one of her favorite pass times is reading, naturally, she would stumble across various texts describing the Central Divine Region.
Some time ago, these texts wouldn't intrigue Amber much and would only be enough to casually glance them over.
After all, as someone born and raised within the Nine Provinces, she was repeatedly taught that reaching the Central Divine Region is a near impossibility.
The only ones who could go were the extreme Martial Talent that can completely surpass the eternity of the Nine Provinces younger generation. And even then, this would only mean the slightest chance of reaching an ordinary City within the Central Divine Region.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration at all to say the Central Divine Region is a completely different world compared to the Nine Provinces.
Even Amber brought into this oppressive ideal for the longest time.
However, all of her opinions had now significantly changed because of Cain. He was practically a legend waiting to be unleashed in the massive Central Divine Region.
The massive advantages they all have, down to their inheritances, Martial Teachers, and resources, would mean absolutely nothing to him.
This would be an extremely boastful statement to make under any other circumstances. Not even the most extreme Martial Talents from the Azure Lightning Sect dare to take such a bold claim.
But for Cain, he already far surpasses anything the Nine Provinces can produce.
At the same cultivation realm, Cain would be utterly unbeatable!
When considering all of this, Amber evidently knows their journey won't be limited to the mere Nine Provinces.
Thus she had spent an ample amount of time researching the Central Divine Region, scraping out any information she could from her limited resources. And when now that the topic had finally been brought up, she couldn't suppress the genuine curiosity swirling within her mind.
"Senior Fanny, I have indeed researched about the Central Divine Region. From my ancestor's texts, the most I found is that's where all the top-tier talent of our entire continent gathers. Over there, it's supposedly called a different world. And we were actually making plans to one day travel down there."
Amber calmly explained, her face seemingly appearing with utmost focus and respect. But internally, she was starting to feel that talking this way was quickly becoming a drag. It feels far too stuffy for her liking.
She much rather preferred the casualness of Bellax, a powerful woman yet someone who couldn't care less about status.
As Amber finished talking, Cain promptly spoke up, saying, "Since we are planning to go the Divine Region, it would be nice for us to gain more information than what he already has. And if I may assume Senior Fanny, the attention we managed to stir, do they come from a World Spirit Master organization that is directly related to here?"
Spirit Leader Fanny nodded. "Our Branch isn't as high and mighty as everyone else likes to believe. We are actually just one of the dozens of other smaller Branches that are connected to the Main World Spirit Master organization within the Divine Region. Because of our connections, each Branch, including ours, has a Divine Envoy Elder secretly staying. They stay just in case any alarming Spirit Talent manages to pop up. And as you guessed it, you three are such an alarming case."
"Oh my? Just alarming cases?" At this point, Bellax couldn't help herself from lightly giggling. "Spirit Leader Fanny is downplaying it a bit. The Envoy Elder we had been around for at least thousands of years, and I can count one hand the amount of time he's been slightly intrigued. But you three…his reaction towards you was dozens of times superior. He's quite looking forward to meeting you three."
Cain, Kali, and Amber were quiet as they calmly took in this news. Their minds were rapidly putting things into respective, seriously considering the advantages and disadvantages.
Even with their supreme confidence, this was quite a precarious situation.
Despite how Spirit Leader Fanny makes it sound, it is undeniable that this World Spirit Master Branch is practically untouchable in the entire City. And since there's more of these Branches, naturally, the other ones are also the absolute strongest in their regions.
Considering this, it should be very much possible that the main World Spirit Master Branch is the strongest of the entire continent!
Cain suddenly asked, "Senior Fanny, is the Main World Spirit Master Branch the absolute top in the Divine Region? I'm assuming since the other smaller Branches must be the top in their areas as well."
"Mn, that's a reasonable assumption. Barring just one…special region, we World Spirit Masters have officially reached the very summit in every region we inhabited. Our history is quite extensive, dating back to the ancient era. But in simple terms, the Main World Spirit Master Branch can be considered as one of the most powerful organizations on this continent."
Spirit Leader Fanny carefully observed Cain's group reaction as she slowly explained. She was already expecting it, but she was curious to see such critical gazes plastering these youths' faces.
Not a single bit of apprehension or overwhelming excitement, only deep pondering looks that made it seem like they have foolproof plans up their sleeves.
And in actuality, Cain did have a vague outline on how to take this situation. He had desires to meet this Divine Envoy but only when he, Kali, and Amber had attainment a sufficient amount of strength.
If not, Cain had worries things may get a bit out of control for his liking.
Truthfully, that Divine Envoy could potentially place heavy restrictions on him, considering he does belong to the World Spirit Master Branch. With restrictions comes many hindrances to his freedom and their overall movement.
Even as there were evident advantages to forming a connection with a Divine Envoy Elder, Cain still despised having a clear ruling power over him.
He hated it when he was a human back in his previous homeland. And after so many transformations here, Cain loathed it from the bottom of his Martial Heart.
In any case, this wasn't the end-all option for him as it would be for others. He indeed had too many paths to take if he wanted strong connections.
When considering all of this, Cain asked, "Senior Fanny, I mean no disrespect but is it possible we can delay this meeting? We all had gained some great insights after the Spirit Tests and would like to use this time to thoroughly digest it."
Both Spirit Leader Fanny and Bellax paused, their eyes flashing in brief contemplation. This was virtually asking to choose between favoring Cain's group and their technical superior.
Even now, Bellax was encountering problems on properly shielding the trio from any distracting workload. Hearing that they're about to encroach on a new breakthrough is undoubtedly exciting news. But whether or not she could keep the continuation of shielding their duties has yet to be seen.
However, before Bellax could come to any reasonable conclusion, Spirit Leader Fanny took reigns of their answers.
She would be doing something she had never once considered before. But she also realizes these circumstances require unique actions.
She confidently said, "If you don't desire to meet the Divine Envoy Elder, we can delay for some time. Soon, you will have to inevitably meet. But for now, it will certainly be in your best interest to consolidate all that you learned from these tests."
"Ah, this perfect Senior Fanny."
Cain faintly smiled. He was similarly sure he could keep delaying for time by actually going on about and performing business favors as well.
Perhaps this way, he would also be able to scout out for any rare Artifacts that'll tremendously help them all. It wasn't a high ope, but Cain didn't rule out this possibility.
"And one more thing, Seniors. Since we prove we can utilize a Heaven Grade Spirit Art, can we now pick a choice from other similar Heaven Grade Arts?" Amber suddenly asked, the eagerness in her voice not light at all.
Back on in their Spirit Test, neither Cain, Kali, or Amber had a chance to truly show the immense potent ability of the Spirit Mending Aura.
As the name implies, the Spirit Mending Aura is a healing Art meant to mend wounds, diseases, sickness, or the environment of the air.
The current boundary that the trio managed to reach is Small Success. At Small Success, each of them can now treat considerably deep wounds, cure normal sickness and slightly refine the air to a purer quality.
Even though they were spreading their gaseous Aura into the air, the Martial Cultivators were able to fully bask in its potency, causing them to feel just a slight rise of Qi within their dantian.
These magical effects were all provided by the healing variation of Spirit energy.
In the Spiritual Dimension, all forms of Spirit Energy exist and smoothly blend together in perfect harmony.
When a World Spirit Master wants to study upon a specific Spirit Art, their connection to the Spiritual Dimension will revolve around the essence that makes up that specific Spirit Art.
As for the Spirit Mending Art, a World Spirit Master with incredibly high attainments with healing Spirit Essence created it. And at higher Success, the abilities granted with healing Spirit energy honestly astounded Cain's group.
The legend states that healing Spirit energy can regrow limbs, treat seemingly incurable diseases or even directly improve one's Mental State!
Naturally, the road to reach this point takes hundreds of years and immense dedication.
A World Spirit Master virtually needs to spend 90% of their time in close door practice. And a hundred years is only a rough estimate for extreme Spirit Talents.
For the average folks, this could amount to thousands of years of close-door refinement!
Furthermore, while curing lost limbs sounded like a dream, it wasn't as great in reality.
When Martial Cultivators soar to new heights, their bodies naturally experience numerous transformations. These transformations are permanent and could never be made up for a second time.
So when a Martial cultivator loses a limb, their entire prowess will see a massive drop permanently. Even if they do regrow a limb, that specific body part will forever be weaker than the rest. This is because that regrow limb needs to accumulate for all of its lost Heaven and Earth Origin energy. Even then, it will never be able to reach the peak of it once was.
As for World Spirit Masters, this would be the same deal as a regrown limb still needs the accumulation of Heaven and Earth Origin energy.
But even with all these restrictions, healing Spirit energy can prove more beneficial than pills. The cost would be massively less, and it can be immediately performed.
When considering all of this, Amber's overt eagerness towards Heaven Grade Spirit Arts was completely understandable.
As Bellax saw Amber, Cain, and even Kali lit up in excitement, she began to say, "Of course. I can gift you access to all of our Heaven Grade Arts quite easily now. So let's-"
"Actually." Spirit Leader Fanny suddenly decided to cut into the conversation. "They can study upon the Spirit Arts I have in my ring. These will also give you a valuable excuse since these Spirit Arts will take an extensive amount of time to learn."
"Oh? This will be perfect! Many thanks, Senior Fanny."
Cain honestly never felt so grateful since coming into this City. Mixing various Heaven Grade Spirit Art into their pallet will undoubtedly allow their overall prowess to take a quantitative leap.
Now, no matter what, Cain was assured his, and the girls' Spiritual Road won't have the possibility of considerably lagging behind.
