Chapter 422 - One Cultivates, One is Showered with Treasures.

In the wide expanse of space, some starts shimmered brightly while others were dull. There were millions of these stars littered across this wide space as in a particular location, a being was floating peacefully in this terrifying void that many would not make as their home.

There was a splendor of golden color as around this being, one could see numerous lines of fate descending down consistently, the truly observant ones being able to notice the formation of a few Chaos Particles that were quickly purified by the intense aura of fate that was in the surroundings.

A calm expression was apparent on the being, Noah's Ancient Blood Clone, as he continued to make rapid progress in the Law of Fate, and this time there were no limits!

The process had already been going on for more than half a day, the area of space he was in being filled with an aurora of golden colors that spread throughout the blank void beautifully. In this span of half a day, he had already amassed more than 24,000 Fate Lines, obtaining the same amount of Fate Lines that he had spent the past weeks collecting after he first received the unique skill of {Fate's Disciple}.

The number of Fate lines he currently had was actually over 56,000 in total, his main body that was being spoiled with numerous materials and cores filled with the Law of Chaos adding on to the progression.

His Ancient Blood Clone continued the project of amassing fate lines as the plan was to complete a full day of cultivation before he moved on to do anything else. In the Celestial Realm, his main body was moving yet again through the fantastical and essence filled forests of this expansive realm. He was accompanied by the valiant Athena to his side as the Righteous Fire Exploration Team he was a part of was moving again towards the direction where the Elite Chaos Behemoths were located.

After spending a significant amount of time freely purifying the chaos materials and absorbing cores in the Celestial Watch Tower, the regiment of the Grandmaster was for them to head out once more to take down Chaos Behemoths.

This would allow for a rapid increase in their Fate Lines while giving them battle experience and the consolidation of their power that was being forcefully raised up through treasures.

With the abundant Soul Rank Cores that Noah and Athena continued receiving, Noah did not doubt that the Celestials were confident in forcefully pushing the levels of the beings they knew to be of Noble Fates to the Domain Expansion Realm soon enough!

This was a type of treatment that would normally draw in jealousy, as even the powerful Boru felt the strength of Athena nearing his while Noah was not too far away. But these beings that were following the lessons of Celestials did not show any outward signs of discontentment as they even volunteered their own materials, attributing this all for the cause of reducing Chaos and maintaining Order!

ROAR!

Yet another powerful Elite Chaos Behemoth fell in the hands of the Righteous Fire Team that was led by the returning Grandmaster Vredral, the beast holding enormous chaos essence slumping down unwillingly as the Domain of Fate that the Grandmaster Released had only gotten stronger.

This powerful Grandmaster was receiving a higher level of treatment than many others, his power also continuing to rise rapidly as he acted on a grand scale to influence the fates of beings in the Light Expanse. He was also the one that had initiated the campaign to allow the inhabitants of Light Expanse to enter the Celestial Realm, much of the influence obtained from this event also coming to him as his Fate Lines continued to increase!

Grandmaster Vredral cut through the body of the Chaos Behemoth as he pulled out a shimmering dark Chaos Core, the powerful chaos essence sizzling as it floated a few inches from his hands.

ZING!

A golden glow shined out as the powerful Domain Rank core was cut into pieces, each of them floating towards an out of breath Athena and Noah that were leaning on each other's backs as they recovered their energy after the tough battle.

They reached out to grab the pieces of Chaos Cores as the Grandmaster spoke.

"What we are currently doing can be considered violating the natural order, rapidly enhancing the rate at which you two increase your power. But the two of you are those with Noble Fates, having a big hand to play in the future which will go on to reduce an enormous amount of chaos! So the price we pay to achieve this is very small."

His voice was filled with conviction as the two beings with Noble Fates looked at each other with determination. As they continued to train and move around each other, the Junior Brother and Senior Sister had gradually gotten closer, the impassive mask of Athena ever so slowly breaking down in front of Crixus as the battle driven War Princess was even leaning on the back of her Junior Brother to recuperate.

"Since we are raising your power speedily, your realm and handling of essence will be very rough once you reach the Domain Expansion Realm. So for your next mission as you near this level is to handle an Elite Behemoth yourselves while I oversee things!"

Stern expressions covered Noah and Athena's faces as the members of the Righteous Fire Exploration Team also looked forward seriously. With the abundant treasures and Cores that Noah and Athena continued to receive, they would undoubtedly be able to reach the next realm soon enough! With this knowledge, the Grandmaster wanted to use the opportunity to further stimulate their breakthrough as he wanted them to conduct a hunt against a Behemoth by themselves.

"This will be one of the prices to pay for pushing your realm up so quickly, where we can at least stabilize your power as time goes on. Come, let us move on to the next one!"

The Celestial Grandmaster waved his hands righteously as he pushed the Exploration Team to continue, an amazing event currently playing out in the Celestial Realm!

Those with Noble Fates had the full backing of this powerful organization, the abundant treasures they had collected over the years being something they could use to push the realm of whoever they wanted higher at a rapid rate. This time around as the war approached, the Celestials were focusing their resources on beings with Noble Fates like Noah and Athena, with others holding the same title not appearing in front of them yet as they were under the leadership of other Grandmasters!

Aside from those with Noble Fates, Grandmasters with high comprehension in the Law of Fate were also favored as resources continued to be taken from the vaults of the Celestials and spent wildly, leaving no risk for the coming war as they prepared.

Although just as quickly as they were depleting their treasure vaults, even more materials and cores were coming in from the half tax imposed on all the beings they allowed to move in the Celestial Realm.

Although unknown to the Celestials yet, a stable spatial connection was on the process of being established between the Celestial Realm and the Dark Expanse through the use of unique skills of certain beings from the powerful Scholar's Guild as the side they were fighting on also began getting their hands on the share of resources!
