"Gr-grandmother?" Cain was momentarily stunned. In this instance, all sorts of various emotions ran through his mind.


    Even now, he still can''t quite put his finger on what he feels about his mysterious grandmother. He only met her once, but the natural aura she exudes leaves him feeling a bit helpless, almost like it was impossible to resist anything she says.


    This sensation didn''t let up at all; in fact, it turned slightly more intense. Because of his attainments with Martial Cultivation, transforming his Soul and mental psyche, he was naturally able to perceive just how unfathomable Shi Wei really is.


    They may be separated by countless, realms but Cain honestly felt as if Shi Wei was right in front of him.


    This was merely the power of her cultivated Soul!


    Such prowess gave Cain aspirations to one day reach this kind of unapproachable level. For now, though, he had a meeting to get through.


    Not wanting to stumble upon himself, Cain quickly revolve his Martial Heart, unleashing Soul energy to quell his mental state.


    A momentter, his eyes regained rity. He then directed his Soul energy into the Artifact ring, linking his conciseness into it.


    He spoke in his mind, "Is something wrong, grandmother? Has the situation changed?"


    "Mn. Indeed." Shi Wei instantly answered her tone a mix of warmth and seriousness. "Things have greatly changed for us. You need toe home now. I can no longer keep this secret; you and Kali''s statuses must be revealed."


    Listening to this, Cain felt his mind quiver.


    In all honesty, he was looking forward to going home. But not at this time. Only two months have passed, and he hasn''t aplished everything he believed he and Kali should do.


    With the resources and connections they have around this city, there were numerous ways they could rapidly improve themselves. And when their foundation reaches perfection, Cain was going to decide to st through these small boundaries.


    Of course, Cain didn''t expect to reach the divine path of cultivation within just a month. Such expectations would be beyond ridiculous, even for him.


    However, Cain did expect to at least reach Sky Ruler or half-step Sky Ruler before heading home.


    From Profound Soul to Innate Lord and then Sky Ruler, the time taken to steadily advance through these realms would be an estimated several hundreds of years or more. This refers to the ordinary Martial Talents who managed to achieve these realms.


    When wanting to make breakthroughs, the main factors would be resources, cultivation aptitude, and Martial perception.


    Resourcese in many forms. For instance, one can take pills to purify their bodies, allowing for an easier time to refine Qi energies. Or one can take various energies resources that can forcefully boost the Qi energies within the dantian.


    Additionally, there are resources that allow for temporary boosts in one''s Martial Perception abilities.


    Cultivation aptitude decides on just how adaptable a cultivator''s body will be with refining Qi energies and if they can even absorb it at all. Furthermore, this will dictate their adaptability with World Source Laws and the various specific Laws.


    And Martial perception is how a cultivator breakthrough each mental block boundary that the various form of Qi energies and Law essences will naturally exude.


    Arguably, Marital Perception is the most crucial aspect of the three.


    In order to store stronger Qi energies in the dantian, eventually causing it to transform and evolve, one has topletelyprehend each minor boundary of Heaven and Earth Origin energy.


    Withoutpleteprehension, the Soul and the mental psyche can''t grasp stronger energies, preventing one from ever advancing in their cultivation.


    This is because the Soul''s Core and the mental psyche are perfectly linked.


    The mental psyche allows a cultivator to engrave the essence of Heaven and Earth within their brains, allowing them to know how to control that form of energy.


    And the Soul''s Core provides the ability to open up one''s Soul Sense. The Soul sense is how one absorbs the essence of Heaven and Earth Origin energy into their bodies. Once absorbed into the body, the Soul''s Core will then unleash Soul energy, which controls all energies within an internal body.


    Each Realm boundary in the Mortal path of cultivation corresponds to the purity of Heaven and Earth Origin energy. The forms of this origin energy are converted into variousyers of Qi energies.


    And eachyer of Qi energies tells the purity of the Heaven and Earth Origin energy.


    Because of how immensely potent 100% pure Heaven and Earth Origin energy is, all Martial cultivators at the start can only sense out the lowest form of Origin energy which is Spirit Qi.


    By studying up on the rules of the Heavenly Dao, Martial cultivators founded a system in which one can build their dantian and internal body as an incredibly solid foundation. This is the Mortal transforming of the Heaven and Earth.


    The process continues until one can finally refine the 100% pure form of Heaven and Earth Origin energy into their dantian.


    Additionally, just refining Heaven and Earth Origin energy isn''t enough to reach the next cultivation boundary.


    Starting from the Innate Lord Realm, one will need to perceive andprehend World Source Laws along with specific Laws variations.


    These Law essences are also required for a dantian to grow, transform and eventually evolve. Without it, one would be stranded in the Innate Lord Realm for the rest of their lifespan.


    As for umting dense Law essence Heaven and Earth Origin energy, this also all relied on one mental psyche''s Martial perception abilities of each form of Qi energies and Law essence.


    This was essentially perfecting one''sprehension in that form of Heaven and Earth Origin energy, allowing them to transform their Qi energies into heavily dense properties, granting much stronger strength.


    As for Law essence, it was of simr properties, basically perfecting one''sprehension until they can transform their Law essence into heavily dense properties, fundamentally transforming their strengths.


    Additionally, the Soul must be able to control these denser forms of Qi energies and Law essence; otherwise, it could disrupt the foundation of a dantian, making it grow chaotic than stronger.


    Just wanting to break through to a denser form of Qi energies and Law essence requires a lengthy amount of time ofprehension umtions.


    Cain read that Mortal geniuses need at least dozens of years to gain denser Qi energies. Denser Law essence properties are far harder, virtually a rarity in the Lower Realm.


    As for regr breakthroughs, even an extreme Lower Realm genius needs a couple of years to reach the next minor boundary.


    Geniuses in the God Gxies aren''t that much better despite superior environments, teachers, and resources. Kali mentioned to Cain that it still takes years of umtion for a God Gxy genius to rush through a minor boundary in the early to middle parts of the Mortal path of cultivation.


    When considering all these factors, Cain wanted to showcase the best results possible for numerous reasons.


    One as a personal goal topletely outshine his Dragon siblings. Hey may not know them well, but hispetitive Dragon Spirit could never back down, only rise to grand challenges.


    And two, for he can get properly fostered by his Royal family without question.


    The worst thing Cain wants is toe back home and get ruthlessly suppressed by everyone because of his pitiful cultivation realm. With an extreme enough Martial Talent, he, Kali, and Amber have a manageable time there.


    Thus, Cain didn''t believe just reaching Profound Soul Realm was enough to garner massive attention. He believed reaching the Sky Ruler Realm just within three months would be a far more effective hand.


    However, it seems as if fate has other ns for him.


    Cain felt a moment''s hesitation. Questioning his grandmother just made his Soul slightly quiver on an instinctive level. It was simr to a subject wanting to dare and question a sovereign.


    But Cain could at least tell Shi Wei does have a tremendous soft spot for him and Kali.


    Calming himself, Cain asked, "If you don''t mind me asking grandmother…but why the sudden abruptness?"


    "This… it''s a variety of factors that, at your current boundary, you will not be able to properly understand. As for other factors, it is best to exin when you reach home. And Cain, I can perceive the slight unease in your tone. Do not worry. I ampletely assured the level of your and little Kali''s Martial Talent is enough to get properly fostered. Moreover, you will be under my protection so you can ease up about facing any unexpected troubles."


    As he carefully listened, Cain had no other responses formting. In the end, he has no true saying power to decide his own decisions. This was simply a natural order. Without sufficient strength, he will need to rely on his grandmother and the imperial rules.


    But of course, this didn''t mean it had tost forever.


    Cain was more than determined in his heart to break from all chains trying to shackle him down, eventually forming his own wings to fly his own path.


    For now, it was time to clear up everything before heading home. And Cain knew he had to get Kali over here now.


    Taking out Kali''s contact ring, Cain said, "Give me a minute grandmother, I will call Kali over now."


    …


    After only a few minutes of calling her, Kali had dropped all of her training and quickly rushed towards Cain''s training room.


    Compared to Cain''s more critical mood, she was bursting with exuberant excitement.


    Truth be told, she was honestly sick of lowering herself to live upon a Lower Realm ne. No matter the kinds of powerful people she met within the City, Kali always found that her actual opponents were back at home.


    All those years of suppression and oppression can now slowly be reversed. It won''t be instant revenge. But Kali knows with enough training and care, she will massively suppress all of her dragon siblings!


    And by then, her shadow will be massive enough to overcast numerous other Holy Lands.


    Kali''s own ambition and goals are very grand in her eyes. She wanted to directly carve out her own legends, transforming into a mighty figure that all can only look up to.


    This was one of the absolute desires settled deep within her Martial Heart!


    Considering all of this, how could she not be excited at their grandmother''s abrupt call?


    Upon entering Cain''s training room, Kali shed right over to Cain, sitting beside him and grasping his shoulders.


    She poured her Soul energy through Cain, smoothly guiding it into the Soul Link artifact, and instantly asked, "Is it really true, grandmother? Can we go home right now without any trouble?"


    "My…someone sure is excited. At least, more than little Cain." Shi Wei faintly giggled. "But indeed, you muste home now. In a sense, everyone will be waiting for your return, and it will be finally time for you two to take the main stage."


    Kali''s excitement nearly overflowed. Her mouth split open into a maddening grin, showcasing her long, precisely sharp Dragon canines, making her seem like a beautiful demoness ready for battle.


    "Isn''t this just perfect, brother? When we get everything we had always deserved, I look to see any of our other siblings ever act high and mighty to us ever again!" Her grip on Cain doubled by sheer intensity.


    However, Cain barely felt her stronger grip. His mind became partly preupied, seriously considering an issue he didn''t put full thoughts on before.


    That is his Vampire girlfriend, Amber.
