Terms Of Agreement

~~On the deck of the ship~~

All parties were gathered, tea was poured and greetings had been completed. It was time to get down to business.

"Bright Sun Divine Monarch will be privy to this information regardless. However you have a choice, Yang Kai." Lei Jin started. "You can choose to ignore this information and you can continue on living and growing your void land as normal. However, I have considered your position and reviewed the data. I believe it is best if you know." Lei Jin added, taking a sip of his tea.

"What are the details of the agreement?" Yang Kai asked, curiously.

"First off, you will become an ally of the Cave Heavens and Paradises. You must tell me what happened in detail to your Star Boundary. All of the deals previously made will remain in place. However, I would like to find a way to adjust the distribution of geniuses once in a while. So just allow us to make proposal changes when the time arises. Once accepted I will order 2 Supreme Elders to guard the Star Boundary. Though I doubt anyone will make an attempt on it." Lei Jin said, explaining a small bit of the particulars.

"About those Supreme elders…" Yang Kai started.

Lei Jin raised his hand in a gesture to stop Yang Kai. "Once your force has obtained 2 Supreme Elders from your own roots I will recall them. Oh! And worry not. We have many Supreme Elders. So it won't be difficult to send them." Lei Jin said.

"Then I look forward to working with you in the future. I wonder if you have a way I can advance to the 9th rank in the future?" Yang Kai said.

"I might. But we can talk more on that at a later time. My only completely confirmed method involves personal matters. So I can not distribute it to others." Lei Jin said.

"Ahahaha, plotting against me? Or are you just careful?" Bright Sun Divine Monarch chuckled nervously. He was in a theoretical lion's den right now. Everyone was on the same page and team. Only he was the odd one out.

"The only one's plotting anything… well… They are called the Ink Clan." Lei Jin began to explain the situation.

~~A few moments later~~

The look on Bright Sun Divine Monarch's face was nothing short of shocked. This was a massive secret and he could tell why immediately.

"Such a clan really exists? And they plan on invading the 3000 Worlds. Yet the Cave Heavens & Paradises have been sacrificing blood for 100's of 1,000's of years to prevent it from happening. This is a lot to take in." Bright Sun Divine Monarch trembled. "So all of the 9th rank Supreme masters are there in this place fighting to the death. Here we have been trying to hunt the disciples of the Cave Heavens and Paradises for the sake of our own freedom. Yet you have been doing that this entire time. Only for everyone." He continued.

"So this is why geniuses didn't get the chance to be promoted to the 7th rank directly lest they came from the cave heavens and paradises." Yang Kai said, gritting his teeth.

"In your case Yang Kai. I don't know why you were not allowed to promote directly. The real criteria is only that one has a resistance to the Ink Force corruption. You are part divine spirit. So they shouldn't have suppressed you. We can talk about methods later. I have 5 people testing my theory right now. It's just that I'm not sure if it will work completely yet. And it takes a lot of energy to cultivate this method. Not to mention it is quite expensive." Lei Jin said, crushing his cup in fury at the thought of a genius being suppressed simply because he had a different background.

"Good! We can talk about those things later." Yang Kai said, seeing that he wasn't the only one furious about the situation.

"Bright Sun Divine Monarch, I will leave these idiot 7th ranks to you to do with as you please. Please do your best in gathering the other two. Once you are all present we can discuss matters in more depth. As for incentives. I can promise that I can give you something close to as good as a Universe Pillar as a first sign of alliance." Lei Jin said.

"Good! Azure Void's Pillar Disciple is indeed quite powerful. I will take these idiots back with me and scold them well. Come by my palace in 2 years time to discuss things. I will have them there by then." Bright Sun Divine Monarch said, tossing the 7th ranks into his small universe before leaving.

Lei Jin took out an Artifact world and showed it to Yang Kai. To which Yang Kai had a look of shock wash over him. It had been a while since he saw this kind of thing. But here it was in front of him again.

"You were able to make a new one?" Yang Kai said as he inspected it.

"Indeed, I was hoping you would be able to help us produce these. If you are then that would be great. They have already been a huge help on the battlefield. It's best if we get some more made. It might even help to improve your Dao's." Lei Jin said calmly, returning the Artifact world to its spot.

"If I can get the recipe to make it then I wouldn't dream of saying no. It seemed to have a powerful strength already contained within. I'm curious what other uses it has." Yang Kai said.

"Good, then I will allow you to travel with us for a while. You can use one of the empty rooms for your needs. There are a couple of places we need to go. One is the Ancestral land, the home of Divine Spirits. And another is a place I finally can feel after relaxing a bit." Lei Jin said, calmly.

"What kind of thing?" Yang Kai asked.

"You'll know when the time comes. No need to be in such a rush." Lei Jin smirked.
