Chapter 238 - Blessed By Heaven
"Oh my? So confident are we?" Shi Wei's grin slightly increased, internally nodding at Kali's newfound confidence. "You and little Cain certainly changed all around. Alright, if you insist, let grandmother inspect you three."
At her words, Kali stood straighter, her Ice-cold aura stimulating from the increasing surge of her emotions. The Ice glow within her eyes glinted even brighter.
Cain never left Amber's side, still calmly reacting as he expected Kali to jump at the first chance to show off achievements.
Together, side by side, that was the only way Amber could keep her nerves under this rapid development.
Truthfully, Shi Wei had already faintly detected the specialties within Cain's group through her Divine Sense.
The results left her increasingly curious and hopeful. By just glancing at them, she could perceive the essence of Source Laws leaking from their dantian!
Inwardly, Shi Wei was entirely taken by surprise over this.
For the silver-haired girl, she has zero clue on how long she's been cultivating but could at least tell she has a genuinely good foundation.
But for Cain and Kali, their cultivation was honestly astounding!
Two months, with merely two months, these two reach the Innate Lord Realm. All of this with just minimal resources and their Dragon Charm.
Naturally, the Dragon Charm gave them an immense advantage. However, the Dragon Charm wouldn't be able to explain Cain and Kali's deep, ocean-like dantian foundation.
With just a sweep of her gaze, Shi Wei could perceive that the siblings didn't rush their cultivation at all but thoroughly comprehended the essences of Heaven and Earth to extreme degrees.
Considering all of this, how could Shi Wei not feel hopeful?
Initially, she wanted to coax the trio, letting them relax a little bit after such a long journey. But with Kali's hopeful, expectant gave, Shi Wei felt helpless and could only comply with her granddaughter's request.
The chamber was quiet as Cain, Kali, and Amber patiently waited for Shi Wei's analysis.
Cain, Kali, and even Amber knew the significance of her opinions; her words could be said to be close to Law around here!
Shi Wei was silent, slowly walking towards the trio. Her footsteps seemingly make zero noises as if she was subtly walking on air.
She could use her total Divine Sense on them. But, direct contact allows her to peer into every single detail of their bodies.
Up close, Shi Wei was actually a few inches taller than both Cain and Kali. Despite the siblings' tall, six feet height, Shi Wei could still look down on them.
And to this, Amber was practically fun-size despite reaching around 5'7 feet height.
With a faint smile, Shi Wei gently grasped Kali's head and simultaneously placed two fingers upon Cain and Amber's heads.
Under her touch, the trio stiffen. Despite Shi Wei's vast prowess, her touch actually provided a source of warmth. It more so felt as if they were getting dowsed by the rays of the summer sun.
Only around a few seconds passed.
During this short duration, Cain, Kali, and Amber quickly pondered just how do they stack to glorious God Galaxy geniuses.
Cain and Kali at least believed if they were slightly lacking, they would be able to quickly make up for this difference.
While Amber didn't have that much aspirations on trying to match these crazy God Galaxies geniuses in terms of Martial cultivation.
All of their expectations, however, were turned on their heads.
When only a few seconds passed, Shi Wei swiftly snatched back her hands, her expression rapidly turning complex.
"You three…is this really happening?"
A low mutter leaked from Shi Wei's voice as a multitude of emotions swirled within the depths of her crystal blue eyes. Her reactions were simultaneously subdued and warped with shock.
Cain, Kali, and Amber traded looks, puzzlement apparent in each of their eyes. They couldn't tell anything from this reaction. At least, it didn't seem like anything good.
Turning their gazes back to Shi Wei, Cain asked, "Grandmother? Is everything alright? Are we lacking something?"
"No, you are not lacking anything." Shi Wei instantly responded, her expression already returning back to her usual calm, limpid gaze.
It was as if that momentary shock didn't happen at all. She didn't even give Cain's group a chance to react as she faintly smiled while saying, "Dense Qi energies and dense Law essence? Astral Core and attainments with Spirit energy? You three aren't lacking anything at all. Dare I say, you are already approaching me and your grandfather in terms of Talent all around."
"Eh-eh? Grandmother? Surely, you're exaggerating!" Kali nearly felt her heart burst from her chest!
Just who were Shi Wei and Huang Wulong? Both were grand geniuses that utterly dominated their generations!
Within the Thunderous Collision Realm, their names spread far and wide for being terrifying geniuses that barely had any opposition who could somewhat match them.
Even now, they're revered as terrifying ancient existences that other ancient beings must tread carefully around.
To say they were at a similar level of Talent was too much!
Because of her fascination with Shi Wei, Kali had naturally closely studied all of her tales, each one being more terrifying than the last.
No matter her pride, Kali honestly believed she had thousands of steps to go before ever matching her all-mighty grandmother.
Cain and Amber were in a similar state of shock over such seemingly honest praise.
Especially Amber since she was just an ordinary Lower Realm genius before this!
Tightly knitting his brows, Cain asked, "Wouldn't it be more appropriate to compare us to our siblings, grandmother? Of course, we don't doubt ourselves, but Kali and I merely have just two months of cultivation…"
"My…what I said seems a bit ridiculous, no?" Shi Wei still retained her mysterious smile that seemed to hold all the answers. "Alright, how about this? Your Martial Talents certainly surpass Dai and Xun. Moreover, your Spirit Talents seem much more promising than Jielong. We can discuss your Astral Core at a later date. But you all truly shouldn't look down on yourselves too much. I can tell, within these two months, the amount of work you put in is astounding. But most of all, you three were truly blessed by the Heavenly Dao."
"Blessed by the Heavenly Dao?" Cain, Kali, and Amber quietly muttered, incredulous disbelief filling their tones.
Kali shook her head, saying, "Not to go against you grandmother, but isn't the Great Dao boundless and merciless? From what you taught me, the Heavens didn't seal all of paths to Martial Arts by granting all lifeforms a Soul Space. But other than that, we all have to go through countless hurdles because of Dao's rules. Just how anyone can be blessed the Dao?"
"This answer…telling you now won't do you any good. This is simply a matter of your mind being too weak. You will be unable to comprehend this mystery. Doing so will only harm you than benefit you. Even I can just barely perceive even the slightest of these matters. However, I am assured that you three were truly blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Cases like you aren't uncommon, reserved for only exceptional characters. Zilong as well is a youngling blessed by the Heavenly Dao. You all are practically destined to never stay as ordinarily special." Shi Wei slowly explained.
As the trio fell into contemplative silence, Shi Wei specifically looked at Cain and continued to say, "Little Cain, your attainments with your Soul will be discussed later. For this matter, you will need to properly adjust your mental state."
Cain thoughtfully nodded, completely willing to take on any challenge to continue his Martial Way. The Soul incredibly intrigued him in the first place since there were many mysteries surrounding it.
Right then, as Shi Wei was about to speak once more, a purple flash suddenly blazed right beside her head.
Appearing in everyone's vision was a small, luminous purple crystal orb.
"Oh my? It seemed like when I messed with your disk, it caught the attention of the oldest guy here. Can't be helped then…" Shi Wei gently sighed, shrugging at her fate.
Turning back over to the puzzled Cain, Kali, and Amber, she told them, "Alright, though we were causally talking like this, our family's situation is a bit…tight around these days. You three appearances is a grand event that is simply impossible to ignore."
"Tight? As in troubling tight?" Cain furrowed his brows before his eyes slowly widened. "Wait, does this mean our disappearance and journey were known long before coming here?"
Shi Wei nodded, not hiding anything as she said, "This matter was bound to eventually happen after all. Previously, even with your zero cultivation aptitudes, you two still are the children of the Ancient Dragon Emperor. Your statuses are incomparably precious. Even I wouldn't be able to keep this secret. Because of this, I'm afraid to say your upcoming days will be chaotic. I'm sure you three are all keenly aware of how much emphasis is placed on Talent and potential. Out of nearly all of the younger generation, your Martial Talents absolutely matter the most. So, it will be impossible to take it easy for a short while."
"Hmph. Is that it, grandmother?" Kali crossed her eyes, confidence unwavering within her eyes. "When we were preparing to come home, each of us knows the merciless brutality here. Truthfully, in the Lower Realm, each of us was living a boorish, easy-going life. Now that we're here, I fully expect to be tested again and again! In fact, I'm ready to be tested now!"
Cain was quick to follow up, saying, "That's right, grandmother. Back in the Lower Realm, Kali and I practically forged our determination to tread on the peak of the Martial Way. The challenges here, our siblings, and our surrounding rivals will be our first great stepping stones!"
Both of them exuded an indomitable will as they displayed their determination towards Shi Wei.
Resting easy and cultivating?
Neither Cain nor Kali had such agendas!
Within their very blood were the complete prestige and attitude of a True Dragon. They both will never submit, only rising through hurdles to evolve past everyone, reaching the heights of the Martial Way!
And at this time, Amber took one light breath before slowly saying, "Senior…I am sorry to say, but I am not as determined as these two for the Martial Way. However, I do have a true passion for reaching the peak of the Spiritual Way! I don't intend to go for crazy Martial training, but I will pour my all into completely learning the Spiritual Way."
The more Amber talked, the more she felt her confidence rise. At least increase enough to where she should speak her mind in front of Shi Wei.
In her eyes, since she could directly meet with this legendary figure and get seriously regarded by her, then it wouldn't be too bad to put forth her personality.
Her tone even carried traced of her usual relaxed style, subconsciously slipping into it as she felt ease being by Cain's side.
Shi Wei blinked only once, and a new light flashed within her pupils. "Mn. Well said. You all do seem to have the bearing of true determination. Still, you all have plenty of topics to learn in the upcoming future. For now, focus your mind as you three will need to participate in a mandatory event. I must go and discuss this with the oldest guy, but afterward, I will return and properly explain every. Make sure to rest well now. In here, nobody else will be able to distract you."
Not giving a chance for Cain's group to respond, Shi Wei's body shimmered in a faint purple glow before vanishing from sight.
