BXBX NOVEL Chapter 390 Doing A Deal
At the mention of being his wife, Amber nearly let loose a blossoming smile, though she determined to keep herself neutral.
Zhou Ping immediately nodded, while suppressing his nerves. "That\'s right. I\'m actually a direct bloodline descendent of the Zhou family. My name is Zhou Ping, and I am forever grateful to Sir Lee and Miss Xun."
There was no point in keeping his identity a secret, considering they guessed it without any effort. Plus, if they wanted to kill him, Zhou Ping knows he would already be dead. People like these who kill without a second thought never hesitate no matter their foe background.
Thus, Zhou Ping hopes to advertise himself as much as possible.
Cain\'s reaction didn\'t show anything different. He casually glanced at the Lake of Stars and asked, "This place...is it a well-known treasure area? We\'ve been around Flame City for a little bit but never heard anything like this."
The light within Zhou Ping\'s eyes continued to glow. It was as if he had gotten a lifeline. He quickly explained, "Ah, I\'m not surprised. The Lake of Stars is actually a very secret area that only the Holy Intelligence network in Sky Bless City knows about. I had to pay a sky-high price for this information, more than what even Holy Lands are willing to spend. Thus, I only gathered a small team for exploration, which is why, despite my status, I only had Great Divine Sea stewards to protect me."
"I see...we were just looking for some great treasures around these parks to get lucky. And it seems like this Lake is full of good stuff." Cain probed his intentions.
Zhou Ping eagerly nodded. "Indeed, there is. Records say there are resources here that can directly enhance not only base cultivation but also one\'s Laws and Inner World foundation. My team was here for the Saint-level Gold Flames source. It is immensely beneficial for any Fire attributed cultivators."
At this point, Zhou Ping\'s expression turned solemn. "But, to gain any treasures here, there are recorded traps here that highly vary in threat levels. Some are negligible to even Divine Origins. While others are dangerous for even Great Divine Sea warriors! I originally planned to use a Spirit Compass to move past all these dangers and find the flame source. But now...I can only plan for it another time."
Intrigued shot through both Cain and Amber. For starters, the Saint-level energy source was already an amazing enough find for the duo.
Cain could recall all the way back to the Heaven Sky\'s Planet in which he obtained an Earthen-level Lightning Source. He had chosen to fuse it into the Earthen Spiral Sword at that time since his Draconic Lightning essence was superior.
But typically, energy sources are immensely beneficial to that attributed cultivators. Beyond Earthen-level is True Spirit-level, then quasi-Saint level, and then full Saint-level.
Any Saint-level energy sources could be highly helpful for even Primal Sovereign masters!
At the same time, their rarity is also extremely high. To find one in such a remote location would only make sense.
If a treasure like this was here, who knows else what other good stuff is here?
Since neither of them is Fire attributed cultivator, the duo didn\'t hold any interest in the Gold Flame Source. But they were also intrigued to test their luck here.
Just reaching 3rdfall Divine Origin wasn\'t enough for either of them. The duo knows they need far more strength. But at the same time, the duo also knows they need a stable base to calmly digest all of their cultivation accumulations. Neither of them wanted to mess up their foundations.
So, after only exchanging a single glance, Cain and Amber reached the next part of their plan.
Cain calmly asked, "So let\'s just cut to the chase, shall we? If I help you gain this Flame Source, would you let us into the Zhou Family? And don\'t worry, we have zero qualms about joining your faction and also helping out if we can if you can provide us with a safe and stable residency."
Listening to Cain\'s request did slightly calm Zhou Ping\'s nerves. But he didn\'t completely relax as he asked, "Do you really have the ability to do so? As a fair warning, I\'ve read that if you\'re not fast enough, it will not be possible to leave this lake alive. You need to be very careful about this."
"Did those Great Divine Sea warriors catch our movements? Did those Divine Star masters even detect our presence? As you can guess, our abilities are incredibly peculiar." Cain confidently stated.
Even with the slight arrogance in his words, nothing he said was wrong.
Zhou Ping thought about it for a moment. In this situation, these powerful geniuses are already being this gracious.
If they could, they really could force him to give up his valuables easily. But instead, they\'re offering their services in exchange for a place to stay at.
Their origins were certainly suspicious. However, experts in the God Galaxies were as numerous as the stars in space. Furthermore, there are times on the path of Martial cultivation where taking risks is required.
Zhou Ping reassured himself of his following decision. He then took out an orange compass and a small bottle gourd from his spatial ring.
Handing both items over to Cain, he explained, "Here. The compass will point you to where the Flame Source is, and the bottle will allow you to safely catch it without tainting it. I pray for your good luck. If you can do this, then consider all of your living arrangements done."
Cain readily accepted the items and nodded. He transmitted to Amber, \'This won\'t take long.\'
Both he and Amber were full of confidence.
Why?
Because of Cain\'s overwhelming Chaos teleportation!
In terms of escaping speed, perhaps Cain is one of the best in this field.
Cain started to stroll over towards the Lake Of Stars. Before reaching the edge, he suddenly waved his hand, unleashing a suction force that gathered the Tian siblings\' spatial rings. He quickly stuffed the rings into his pocket.
Finally at the edge, Cain penetrated his Chaos soul sense into the seemingly ordinary-looking lake. His detection range spread outwards, reaching 300 meters of distance.
At this moment, a sudden block halted Cain\'s soul sense. His brows knitted together as he tried to push forward. He poured even more soul energy to heighten his Chaos soul sense.
However, no matter how much he poured, this block was impossible to go past.
Cain had no other option but to directly explore himself. A layer of Draconic Lightning aura shrouded Cain\'s body. His Chaos Spirit Force silently activated.
He then dived straight into the Lake Of Stars.
Pure blue entered Cain\'s vision. With his Divine eyes, seeing underwater was but a simple task.
Although, there wasn\'t anything to see 100 meters from the lake.
Cain swept his Chaos soul sense over the orange compass and perceived an energy trail miles deep into the lake.
A small sonic boom erupted within the lake. Cain blasted off like a speeding missile as he followed the energy trail.
Since he continually used Chaos teleportation to reach here, Cain was quite curious about how fast his enhanced traveling speed really was.
Moreover, his Chaos soul sense is apparently blocked by some invisible force field.
Cain\'s speed was outstandingly quick. He was a blur as he tore through the water without facing any obstructions.
In only a few seconds, he dived around 300 miles deep within the Lake of Stars.
At this distance, Cain suddenly stopped. His Chaos soul sense stayed at a consistent 300 meters range. And it was around here that he was alerted to several distinct sensations.
These were all sensations very familiar to him.
One of them was very distinct from Divine Essence or any Law essence, feeling close to the sensations of the mind. It felt like he was looking into a Spiritual Sea itself!
Along with the mysterious Spiritual Sea sensations were also potent Divine Essence and World Source Law essence.
The strangest thing is the fact all of these sensations are seemingly combined together. As if each were crafted in perfect harmony with each other and continue to thrive in a rhythmic system.
Cain seriously thought about it. This wasn\'t anything random or pure coincidence. He analyzed the way his own Spiritual Sea operates.
Didn\'t his own Spiritual Sea also seamlessly combines Divine Essence and World Source Law essence at the same time? The Spiritual Sea uses it for either battle or regular cultivation.
Upon this thought, Cain felt increasingly sure that whatever was out there is highly related to some sort of Spiritual Sea treasure.
It definitely tempted Cain to explore. However, he quickly returned his focus and filed this location for later.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Cain began to travel with Chaos teleportation.
The instantaneous movement allowed his speed to far surpass his previous rate.
The only thing was that Cain needed to continually teleport since his Chaos soul sense had limited range. But with his current soul, it didn\'t bother Cain.
When he teleported another 20 miles deep, Cain suddenly felt his danger instincts kick in. His soul frantically alerted him to a terrifying wave of aura rapidly approaching him.
A cold feeling swept through Cain\'s entire being. Soul energy frantically poured out as he pushed his Chaos energy to its very limit.
Even from within the Lake of Stars, which has a different set of World Source Laws, Space Laws still shattered under the tremendous might of Chaos energy!
In a green flash, Cain teleported through the Void Space, traveling farther than he did before.
To his extreme limits, a slight pain courses through Cain\'s head. But he did manage to forcefully increase the range of his teleportation by a wide margin.
10 Miles later, Cain reappeared. Goosebumps surfed on his skin. But before he could even collect himself, a loud explosion reverberated all throughout the Lake of Stars.
The explosion vibrations caused Cain\'s body to feel slightly rattled. Genuine disbelief plastered his expression. \'Even so far out, that explosion aftershocks can still affect me?\'
