High up in the skies above the Frost Syndicate town.


    A divine bird tore through the air, its body exuding Law lights that heavily distorted space. On the back of the bird were the extreme geniuses, Cain and Lan Rui.


    The duo waspletely calm as they soared directly toward the Frost Inds. That previous encounter was nothing but a slight bump in the road. Even if that so-called Frost Syndicate had a Holy King master, it couldn''t make ripples in either Cain or Lan Rui''s mind.


    The duo was more focused on discovering the life-vein root.


    Lan Rui''s tone was slightly dripped with budding anxiety. "I had hoped that book would tell us more than the bare basics. Mn, I want to save master''s cultivation. But I don''t want us to recklessly throw away our lives."


    That tone didn''t go unnoticed by Cain. It even reminded him of faint memories from a far-distant past. But he didn''t let himself get caught up in memories.


    Cain decided to take a bolder approach. His hand shot out. Without any fear or hesitation, he lightly touched the back of Lan Rui''s hand.


    "Wha?"


    Lan Rui slightly jumped. A touch of color dusted her cheek. Yet, she didn''t move her hand. Her heartbeat rose, but a sense of warmth spread through her body.


    Her normally calm gaze appeared a bit puzzled. She couldn''t take her eyes off Cain.


    Cain calmly smiled. "Rx. With me here, I am sure we will find the life-vein root. You should focus on the kind of other arts your master will teach when she gets better. Those two arts you used beforepletely dominated thosete stages experts. I would''ve thought you could only contend withte stage experts."


    Thoughts still gued her mind. But Lan Rui couldn''t resist getting sucked into this irresistible momentum. She had a small smile while saying, "My master really is a reclusive one. But I don''t doubt she doesn''t have as much talent as Elder Xi. The two skills I had used, the Revolving Ice Change skills and the Mist Slice Skills are something handcrafted by master. It uses a tremendous sum of my Inner World energy. But in exchange, I can confidently contend against peak Late Divine Rulers."


    "I see." Cain''s eyes lit up in genuine surprise. "I never would have guessed Elder Ma had such means. My master is quite tight lip on her talents and her family."


    Lan Rui lightly giggled. Her voice was ever so pleasant to listen to. "That does not surprise me. Master and Elder Xi are iparably cold to most others. Only a select few are they willing to exchange more than a few sentences with."


    "Is that right? Almost reminds me of someone. But, talking like this can show another beautiful side to someone already so beautiful, just like how I''m seeing it with you." Cain charmingly smiled, his eyes never even leaving Lan Rui''s.


    "Ah-Mn, well..." A greater flush dusted Lan Rui''s cute face.


    Being openly filtered like this was truly out of the expertise of the normally pure maiden. Not even the most charming and handsome man could get such a reaction from Lan Rui.


    But Cain was far too different. This was a man she honestly couldn''t get out of her head. He seemed almost too perfect.


    She could only focus on the life-vein rootpass to get her embarrassment under control. "This...should be done in the right mood...I mean, let''s just focus on thepass."


    In the end, Lan Rui was still a Divine Ruler expert. Her raging emotions were quickly suppressed. Though, the color on her cheek didn''t fadepletely.


    Cain took in great delight over Lan Rui''s adorable reaction. This was only just from onement. He couldn''t help but wonder what she''ll be like with more intimate progress.


    Still, Cain didn''t move his hand off Lan Rui''s. Nor did it seem like she wants him to leave.


    He lightly chuckled, saying, "Yes, let''s focus up. I have a feeling we''ll be in for some action very soon."


    Serenely traveling like this truly was a form of mental cultivation. The mystical link between them grew stronger. Their understanding of each other broadened as their minds subtlymuned with the world.


    Several minutes soon passed. The divine bird''s flight speed was truly amazing.


    Before the duo knew it, they were close to the Frost Inds.


    An endless vast of mist shrouded an entire ocean. Nothing could be seen from the outside. The only way to know is to travel in. As if the Laws of the Frost Inds were on a higher ne of existence, forcing all to y by its rules.


    Cain and Lan Rui instantly got serious. They hopped off the divine bird and Lan Rui recalled the bird back into her mystical storage sack.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Lan Rui focused on her Divine Sense. The strong sensation of Life Laws permeated her Spiritual Sea. On instinct, her hand pointed in a specific direction in the endless mist.


    "It''s pointing over here. But let''s take things slow." She cautiously warned.


    There wasn''t disagreement from Cain. He and Lan Rui quickly flew down.


    In seconds, their bodies soon entered the endless mist. A very faint pulse pinged through the duo''s Spiritual Sea.


    Cain and Lan Rui instantly paused. Their Divine Sense focused on this faint pulse.


    Lan Rui curled her brows in slight puzzlement. She could barely grasp anything from the mystical sensation.


    While Cain''s Chaos Soul Sense had perceived something critical. He peered around his surrounding, noting it really was nothing but mist. Only because of his divine eyesight could he still track Lan Rui right beside him. A mortal would absolutely go blind within the endless mist.


    Cain soon said, "Here''s something that the book did not mention. Entering into this mist is the same as getting transported by an array. The sensations I sensed...it waspletely simr to any other transmission array. Though, this one seems to have a profundity that I quite can''t grasp."


    "In a sense, this is practically a mystical realm?" Lan Rui calmly asked. "It''s not so often it happens, but there is huge vast ofnd that is hiddenly covered by a transmission array. It''ll be normal on the outside, or mysterious, as with this mist. But, will bepletely different once stepping inside."


    Cain calmly nodded. "It seems this is the case. At least for now, my senses aren''t detecting any danger. We should be good to go."


    Lan Rui heavily trusts Cain''s judgment. Thus, if he said they are good to go, no danger wille out at them.


    She continued to lead them on the life-vein root trail. Lights of their Law shrouded Cain and Lan Rui''s bodies as they flew.


    Their speeds were moderate. But they were ready to act on the first instinct of trouble.


    Continuous gray mist stayed within the duo''s vision. It didn''t matter which direction or twist the duo made. Everything stayed in a mysterious gray mist. One would think they would be going around a circle.


    With no way to tell progress, even a divine cultivator''s state of mind would gradually begin to deteriorate.


    Cain and Lan Rui, however, were greatly determined. They could not tell how much time had passed. But after carefully flying for what seemed like hours, a new sight had finally entered a vision.


    Cain and Lan Rui narrowed their eyes. The sight before them was very particr. An extremely long indid floated on top of a crystal clear ocean.


    Serene green lights glittered from the ind. Nothing about the ind seemed dangerous or full of deadly traps. It exuded a sense of peace.


    Mortals and weaker cultivators'' minds would be eased into a sense of security. Their guards would inevitably drop.


    Cain and Lan Rui didn''t lose any tension. While scanning the seemingly serene inds, Cain remarked, "It''s truly something. Just like the book said, the inds here would lead people''s souls into a genuine sense of security. Who knows just the kind of danger they would end up in?"


    "Mn. But unfortunately for us, we''ll need to get through this ind if we want to continue on this trail." Lan Rui cautiously spoke.


    She didn''t even question that she could resist the charm of the serene ind. But, unbeknownst to her, Cain had already shrouded her and his body in an aura of Chaos energy.


    The Chaos energy didn''t provide any power. But its principles were more than enough to fend off attacks on the souls.


    The duo spent a few minutes scanning the serene ind for any threats. They were a bit puzzled afterward.


    All they could detect were traces of concreted Law essence at numerous spots. These concentrated Law essence spots didn''t radiate danger. Though, it was odd for them to exist without a cultivator being the one manipting the essence.


    Natural form essence is typically wild and untamed. Not in an orderly fashion.


    Standing around wouldn''t aplish anything. Thus, the duo quickly flew down to the serene inds.
