In the sky above the Endless oceans, a human-sized golden orb appeared, it hovered in the sky for a few seconds before exploding into millions of tiny light particles revealing a youngster in full black armor, Ghost. He stared around locking his eyes with an island in the distance. Other than the tiny island on the horizon, one could see nothing but an endless ocean, hence the name Endless Ocean.

"Lightning Dash"

He utilized the spell to traverse the sky over the oceans. He had already become a bolt of lightning, soaring across the sky.

"Don't worry baby dragon, I'll save you" As he flew, he murmured, patting his chest where the baby dragon was resting.

Michael traveled over the Endless Ocean for another couple of hours before finally reaching the island. The tall mountain peak which seemed like touching the sky itself stood majestically, the island was surrounded by wildlife and numerous waterfalls. What was unique about this island was its color. When looked at from the sky, one could see all the seven colors in the rainbow on the island. This was the first time he saw bright blue trees.

Also, the island was very large, almost half the size of the Kingdom Bredia. However, there were not many people who lived on it, only a measly few hundred thousand people, and. A large portion of it was undeveloped wilderness. A huge, hundred-meter tall stone tablet was inserted into the ground at the harbor, and on it were two large, finely engraved words: Rainbow Island.

Michael descended into a dense forest on the island before walking towards the small port town not too far away. It was the only town on the island, and the entire population of the island lived there.

"I never thought there would be a population living here," Michael thought. From what he heard from Gaya, most of the powerful cultivators liked to live in secluded islands before leaving to the Cold Mountains where they would cultivate until either reaching the higher stages of cultivation or simply die of old age.

At this very moment, the sound of horses galloping could be heard vaguely in the distance. Numerous men on extremely simple horses slowly galloped over. They wore simple clothes, dust and splashes of sand could be seen on their clothes. They all had a smile on their faces, a smile that would only come when they achieve peace with themselves.

"Kimu, this time, we must stay in the sea for at least a month. This time I want to double our usual catch" The beefy, middle-aged man riding at the front laughed aloud.

"Damn right bro. Last time we came back from the sea too soon. If I could only catch a rare fish, I'll increase the size of my family, you know what I mean hehe" A young man in his late twenties grinned devilishly from beside the middle-aged man. His face shone bright thinking about a good no, a great time with his wife.

The men spoke as they rode their horses before quickly coming across Michael. His strange armor immediately drew the attention of the men, each observing the black-robed youngster in wonder.

The group of people stopped ten meters before him. The leader, the beefy middle-aged man spoke to him, "Oi '' Michael slowed his pace when he heard the horse galloping to get the directions to Lailah's residence as there was no big mansion in his eyesight while he was on the air.

"You aren't a rainbow islander, are you? Where did you come from?"

Michael glanced over the men. Other than the leading middle-aged man, who was at the Body Refining stage level 8, the others were only at level 5 or level 4.

Michael waved with a smile on his face, "You are correct, brother. I'm not from Rainbow island, I came to the island from a small kingdom in Elon continent"

The man did not notice that Michael studied them to see their cultivation level. He said boldly, "Elon Continent huh? You're a long way from home, oh where are my manners, name is Keenan but you can call me whatever you want. If I remember correctly, the last time an outsider came to our island seemed to be twelve years ago. How do you want us to call you, is outside okay with you? Kenna asked laughing,

"I am Jake, I came to this island looking for Miss Lailah Alden." He said politely. He did not look down on these people because of their cultivation level, who knows what their relationship with the Doctor?

"Lady, Lady Alden '' the man quickly corrected Michael with a smile and Michael could see their admiration and devotion these men have towards this Lailah Alden. If he tried to disrespect Laila, he was sure that these men would fight for her honor with their pikes and fishnets.

Jake, you must have won some kind of competition and earned the chance to see Lady Alden" Keenan completely misunderstood the situation but from his words, Michael realized that competitions are going on with the price of meeting this Lailah Alden, his curiosity about this woman piqued.

As Keena spoke, he pointed at the tall mountain in the distance, "Do you see that huge mountain? That's the holy grounds of the island, called Angel peak. That's where the Lady Alden and her disciples live"

Michael looked towards the mountain and then gave a salute with two fingers, "Thank you brother for your help. I must see Lady Alden as soon as possible, so forgive me for bidding farewell" With that, Michael lightning dashed towards the mountain before Keenan could say a word.

Very soon, he arrived at the mountain peak. He did not hide his presence so he wouldn't look like an intruder trying to sneak into their home besides Michael could already sense two powerful presence coming at him.

"State your name and your purpose of being here at our Angel peak" A gentle, pleasant voice originated from the sky above the mountain. With two flashes of white light, two young, violet-dressed women appeared, both carrying veenas.

The two females only seemed to be twenty years old. Their appearances were fair and alluring, rare beauties in the world. They were pretty enough to rival Claire, Celina, Peyton, and so on. After spending more than half a year in this world, he adjusted his mind to meet angelic beauties, so their beauty didn't surprise him much.

However, what surprised him was that the two girls before him carried a celestial aura, like fairies. They clearly had something that those beauties he met previously never had, even Gaya

"Level 10 Core Strengthening stage"

The two girls before him were actually powerful level 10 Core Strengthening stage warriors. He quickly hid his shock, then he spoke calmly

"I am called Ghost," Michael's instincts told him to go with the name Ghost instead of the name he gave to Keenan. Something about these girls made him believe that they could sense a lie.

"I need Lady Alden's help to save- "

"The mistress of the island is currently in seclusion. She cannot help you now. Please come back another day." Although the woman sounded soft and respectful, Michael could sense a contempt in her voice, deep within.

Michael did not show any of his inner emotions on his face, after all, it was him who needed Lailah's help, not the other way around. After a slight hesitation, he asked, "Then when will Lady Alden come out of seclusion?"

"That's up to the mistress to decide. It may be a few days, a few months, a few years, or even a few decades." The woman continued testing Michael's patience. If he was stronger than them, he would have wiped that smug off her pretty face with a single slap but for now, he could only suppress his irritation.

"Argh!"

Suddenly, a howl filled with utmost pain reverberated from a cave on the mountain peak. With it followed various rumbles as countless rocks were sent flying from the cave. At the same time, the invisible Arch Energy in the surroundings slowly gathered towards the hole, while an extremely profound presence descended from the void. Michael felt an immense pressure building up around him, making him almost kneel to the ground, it was like an invisible mountain was dropped on him. Even though he had never witnessed a sight like this before, he learned about this happening, thanks to Abras's memories.

"Someone is breaking through to the Soul Refining stage!" A sliver of shock had appeared in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the expressions of the two women changed. They immediately cried out, "Oh gods, he's woken again. Quickly, use the sound of the veena to suppress his awakenings and put him to sleep again. We can't let him refine his soul, it'd be the end of him"

The two women no longer paid any attention to Michael. They directly sat down in the air and placed the veena they carried on their laps. Then they quickly but dexterously strum the veena's strings, creating a faint, divine melody. The pressure around Michael slowly decreased as he exhaled deeply. The melodious sound coming from the veenas echoed through the air, covering the entire Angel peak mountain. It seemed to hum with space, causing slight distortions in the surrounding space. Everything around them, the trees, the wildlife, even the small particles of mud seemed to be affected by this enchanting sound.

He couldn't help but feel relaxed, refreshed as he had just come out of a world-class massage.

"Who are these people?"
