Sorting Out A Few Things

~~The Re-Kindled One's Commons~~

Lei Jin appeared in a swirl of Rainbow Light beside Xin Xia. Of course this didn't scare her since she knew he was coming by. Instead, she gently clung onto him once he appeared. Resting her head against his shoulder.

"Master Lei Jin, Congratulations. We heard from your wives about the good news." Yong Sheng said, kneeling down to greet Lei Jin.

"Even after all this time you still kneel before me." Lei Jin sighed, realizing that this is likely the result of Yong Sheng's experiences. So he really couldn't be too upset with it. If anything Lei Jin should start getting used to it.

"Surely you jest, Master Lei Jin. I am your subordinate, I have also been saved from a living hell by you, Master. Not showing my respect towards you would make things difficult." Yong Sheng said, joking back slightly. He had gotten used to the situation and accepted it. Even if it still hurt his pride to be weaker than an Emperor Realm.

"I merely spoke out of instinct. Pay it no mind. I have my next orders for you all." Lei Jin said, mobilizing his Aura in a commanding way.

"Subordinate is ready to serve the Master!" The Re-kindled Ones, chanted as one, their voice resonating with each other and carried a small distance. No one had imbued their voice with power so the fact it carried so far was impressive.

"For the next 10 years, all 6th ranks will begin pushing to break through. I want as many of you to break through as possible. In this Artifact world I have an 8th rank material of all 7 elements that will constantly generate lesser rank materials." Lei Jin said, presenting the Orb like artifact to them. "Furthermore I have 2 others. One with 7th rank and one with 9th ranks. Once you reach into the 7th rank you may take the resources from the one with the 9th ranks. And the rest is self explanatory." Lei Jin added.

"Master, might I ask as to the reason why you wish for us to breakthrough so quickly?" Yu Dao asked, simply wishing to know the reason. He was the type of person to be more proactive if he had a clear goal in mind. In fact it was a similar trait among the Re-Kindled Ones. Perhaps it was a side effect of being cured from the Ink Force.

"You will be forming teams centered around at least one 7th rank. Your missions will vary depending on needs at the time. However, you will have one main goal. I will need you to travel through the 3000 worlds and visit all of the Great Territories. Find and collect a reasonable number of people to seed some new Artifact Worlds. There may come a day where there will be more missions assigned to you. Though, you don't need to worry about it for now. Use this time wisely and don't disappoint me." Lei Jin said, slightly relaxing his aura.

"Understood, we will follow the Master's words!" Everyone said.

"Good! Now two more things. Firstly, I don't believe any of you will be restricted by the shackles in your Small Universe. This means all of you have the potential to break through. Lastly, Open your Small Universe. I will give you all a Rainbow just as magnificent as the one stretched above the Cave Heaven." Lei Jin said, preparing multiple charges for all of them to receive a far more powerful variant of the True Rainbow.

The Rainbows were distributed and everyone was ordered to continue with their responsibilities. Lei Jin had business to handle with Elder Mei as well as the Headmaster. It was quite unfortunate but he had to go and take care of the conversations with the Headmaster first. It would be easier this way.

~~ In Azure Void's Meeting Hall ~~

"Welcome, Lei Jin. I bet I can guess what you have come in search of." Headmaster Xiang Xi said, welcoming Lei Jin inside.

Lei Jin didn't need to stay for long since he was only here for a couple of reasons. So Even though he was offered a seat he politely refused. After all, Lei Jin was by far the busiest person in the entire Cave Heaven and likely the entire 3000 Worlds. It has been his own direct influence that has caused so many drastic changes over the years. In fact if it hadn't been for him… The war would never have reached any level of stability like what we see now.

"I won't be here long. I just need any updates from the situation in the Black Prison Territory, and an approval for the temporary reassignment of Artifact Refiners. I'm going to be needing them for an important task." Lei Jin said, simply cupping his hands.

"Done! You may have your Artifact Refiners. As for updates on the situation in the Black Prison Territory… Everything that we have received as of late has been peaceful. Though there were sightings of some Ink Disciples around there. There weren't many so they have been captured and suppressed. That said, there was something that was a little troubling." Headmaster Xiang Xi said, putting his chin in his hand, as a difficult look appeared across his face.

"Something had been sealed there, right? And the seal has been weakened?" Lei Jin said, narrowing his eyes and becoming serious.

"Indeed, it was a good idea to send some forces there to keep things under control. As for the secret of the Ink Clan… We came up with the idea of calling it a sort of corruption virus." Headmaster Xiang Xi said.

"That will provide us with good cover and enough time to get ready. Alright, take this and decide who will get to use them. And some more news, Supreme Elder Azure Heart, might very well have a chance to break through in the future." Lei Jin said, handing a ring over to the Headmaster before he vanished from sight.

Headmaster Xiang Xi was in shock after looking at the ring's contents. And combined with the news about a new potential 9th rank, he gulped audibly. "It seems everything is looking up. With Lei Jin's assistance we can turn the war around and hit the Ink Clan where it hurts." He said, after a long silent ponder.
