Is that a Wisp?

Krune was sure that inside the core of the Raskie Danger Zone, the demon beasts would check everyone who wasn't supposed to be there. So a Foundation Establishment like him would definitely be inspected. Not to mention that except for the subordinates of higher-level demon beasts, you wouldn't find Foundation Establishment demon beasts inside the core zone that easy.

Krune was moving fast but carefully. He was scanning everything for a place to hide, but it seemed like any location he found was already the lair of some demon beast. Little Light already told him that several Divine Senses had passed by him ever since he left the Rainbow Sect. It was evident that they were looking for him.

It was then that he noticed something.

'I'm an idiot! There is only my spatial ring, the spatial box, and myself here. Since that's the case, I can bury myself in the ground. If Ao, Shinja, and everyone else were with me, then it would be somewhat tricky since they would need air at least. But now I only need a small hole to fit myself and the equipment.'

After thinking about that, Krune immediately found a corner that was more or less concealed and quickly used his earth element to move down. The size of the hole was really small, just enough to fit the spatial box, which was the biggest thing there at the moment. Because of that, it was almost effortless to keep digging.

Krune was very cautious. Everywhere he passed, he would fill the space left behind with the same soil again. That is not to leave behind a straight line that could be perceived by Divine Sense. He also made sure to go very deep to prevent any accidents. He doesn't know how powerful the Divine Sense of Soul Forging Realm demon beasts are, so he had to be sure that he was far enough.

After digging over 20 kilometers in the ground, Krune finally stopped. He decided to stay here for the time being.

'I doubt that their Divine Sense could reach this deep, and that is considering that the Soul Forging Realm ones are searching at all. If it were me, I would mobilize the forces that I have instead.'

Deep in the ground, Krune's Divine Sense couldn't go further than one kilometer, which is weird since he was able to reach over two before.

'It seems the deeper I go, there more affected my Divine Sense becomes. But this is also good. It means that the chances of being found are even lower now.'

After making sure that there was nothing around, Krune examined the dimension inside the spatial box. He couldn't enter since it works the same way as a spatial ring, which means that someone must be outside to bring out anything inside. He then used his Divine Sense to communicate with Ruik. As mentioned before, Ruik was forcefully made the sect master, so he had to keep an eye on everyone there.

Inside the Spatial Box, Ruik was looking horrible. Ever since they found out that cultivators and demon beasts were trying to enter the Rainbow Sect, he almost had no time to sleep at all. For him, that is as good as receiving a beating every day. He was checking all the equipment necessary for the life-supporting when suddenly, he heard Krune's voice.

"Ruik, I finally found a place to rest. How are things inside?"

Ruik let out a sigh of relief when he heard that, then he used his own Divine Sense to answer.

"Except for the gloomy mood, everything is pretty much fine. That kick you gave Lakin had really woken him up, so he is putting a lot of effort in comforting the youngest wisps. Cassy had been crying ever since then, but Shinja is taking care of her. As for Ao and the others, they have a lot of experience like us, so they are pretty much fine at the moment. The impressive one is Dier, who is helping a lot. He was one of those who calmed first."

Krune was happy to hear that Lakin didn't dwell on what happened for long. Before Krune was saved by Feifei, he saw many wisps being taken away or eaten by demon beasts. He still feels sad about those memories, he has long since understood that wisps die easily.

"That's good, after all of this is over, I will have Lakin leave to gain some experience. If he breaks down every time something happens, he will not be able to survive for long."

Ruik nodded after hearing that. Krune then asked how the life-supporting formations and equipment were.

"That compression formation of yours was excellent. While outside, everything was trembling and breaking, inside it was like nothing had happened at all. All the equipment and formations are working just fine. I can't help but think how marvelous formations are to be able to control spatial powers."

Krune was relieved to hear that.

Ruik then remembered Krune about another thing.

"Everything is working fine, but it all needs spiritual energy to keep running. Different from the Rainbow Sect dimension, this pocket dimension doesn't have a connection to the outside world. At the moment, I'm using the cultivators, wisps, and demon beasts spiritual energy. Still, they also don't have a way to recover themselves inside. We need to have some going outside to recover their spiritual energy soon."

Krune was already expecting that.

"We used all our spirit stones to feed the compression formation, so we are without any at the moment. But I already have an idea. You can also use the wisps spiritual energy, so I will let a few of them come outside to recover every time they get exhausted."

Ruik nodded and accepted that idea. According to Krune, there is no air where he is at the moment, so it would be hard for cultivators and demon beasts to stay outside. But wisps that are in their wisp forms don't need to breath. They can go outside to recover their spiritual energy without a problem.

"Very well, if anything happens, focus your Divine Sense on the wall of the dimension. If you do that, I will be able to notice you."

Krune then exchanged a few more words and moved to the next person.

Lakin was talking with the young wisps, as Ruik said. Krune saw that and contacted him.

"It seems like you understand your position now."

Lakin's heart almost stopped with that sudden voice.

"Master!"

Krune ignored his amazement and only asked one thing.

"Do you know your wrongs?"

Lakin heard that and felt embarrassed.

"I know. I let master, Ruik, Cassy, Dier, and everyone else down. I shouldn't have lost my calm like that, much less have a break down after what happened."

Krune was satisfied with that answer.

"It's good as long as you know. Your master had seen a lot of wisps dying in the past, so I'm used to it. But that doesn't mean I don't care. Don't forget that the wisps are counting on you, so don't let them down. Your situation is different from the wisps who sacrificed themselves. You are the pillar for all the wisps that you saved in the past, even more than me. If you had died back in the sect, all of them would have panicked. That would really be a mess."

Lakin knew that his master was right. That's why Krune ordered Lakin not to enter the formation. Of course, more than half of the reason was that Krune didn't want to see Lakin dying.

"I understand, it won't happen again, master."

Krune nodded and said.

"I have already talked with Ruik. After things get calm, I will have you go outside to gain experience. You better be ready."

Lakin agreed with Krune's ideas and went back to take care of the young wisps.

Krune then exchanged a few words with the rest inside the spatial box and then returned his attention to the outside. There is still over four months before the departure of the Divine path Sect Spaceship. So Krune had a lot of time. In that case, he decided to focus on reinforcing his cultivation for the time being.

Back at the Rainbow Sect, Hasik was looking at the two Soul Forging Realm cultivator and demon beast that were overseeing the operation. Hasik had done something that no one expected. After Krune and the others left, he forcefully wiped all the memories that he had about them. That was the only way he could think to prevent Krune's identity from being found out. He even went against some of the rules and also deleted the Rainbow Sect name.

Kalie looked at the illusionary form of Hasik and asked once more.

"So, you really don't know about those who came in first?"

Hasik looked at her.

"As I said, my memories had been wiped before you came in. I don't remember anything about anyone who had been here before you."

Jin Hevi is the second Soul Forging Realm and a demon beast. He was also responsible for the demon beasts' interests in this new place. He was going to ask something when a cultivator came inside the Order Hall. Jin looked at him and asked.

"Did you find anything?"

The cultivator shook his head.

"Whoever was here before did a great job, there are no traces left behind. At least none that could help us in finding their identities."

Jin nodded and asked for his subordinate to leave.

Hasik heard their coversation and simply commented.

"That is to be expected. I have control over the dimension formation of this Secret Realm, so the people before had just to ask me, and it would be easy to scan for any important clue. After that, I just have to ask the puppets to get rid of everything."

Jin looked at hasik and couldn't help but say.

"You are being very supportive, don't you think?"

Hasik nodded.

"That's the orders left behind all those years ago, I can't block anyone from taking the Mohie Sect tests."

Kalie noticed that it wasn't going anywhere and then said.

"Alright, let's end this issue here. Hasik, tell us everything about this Mohiw Sect of yours and what kind of tests are those that you are talking about."

Hasik nodded and started explaining everything about the Mohie Sect of the past. The more Jin and Kalie heard about it, the ugly their faces became. They never expected that this Mohie Sect was a mortal foe of one of the Big Four.

"Now, things had become really complicated."
