Krune's group soon found Arlan, Tasier, and Lofa as well. Since they were all part of the Mercenary Guild Alliance, they gathered together once more.
The comport of the Spaceship opened, and one could see elder Loni coming out, beside him, was his disciple, Lena. He looked at all fifteen participants in front of him and nodded.
"It seems like everyone is here, so you can enter and use the same room as you used before when we went to Garmon Planet. Now, everyone can go inside. We are leaving in a few minutes."
The participants, their guardians, and their subordinates immediately boarded the ship, and the comports closed right after. Everyone outside watched as the Spaceship took off. It only took a few minutes for it to disappear in the sky.
After that, Elder Loni gathered everyone on the ship to say a few words.
"As always, the training facilities are available for everyone to use. The travel will take around a month since the Divine Path Sect is much further away than the Garmon Planet. I don't mind if you decide to spar with each other, but make sure that you are in peak condition by the time we arrive."
Everyone nodded and waited for him to talk.
"Good! I can't tell you what the exam will be, but I can't tell you the rules of the sect for the exam. First, there is no rule to protect the life of the participants. As you can imagine, the sect wants the best, so stopping people from giving their all during the test won't happen. But I'm sure you all were expecting it already."
"Second, the sect knows that a lot of demon beasts don't want to show their form. But to make sure that everyone gives their all, every demon beast will have to use their true form. This rule is only not applied if the demon beast can prove that he or she can fight better in their human form."
Krune's heart skipped a bit, but he soon regained his calm. As long as he passes the sect entrance exam, he won't need to be afraid of the people from Makui Planet knowing his real form.
"Third, once the exam starts, you won't be able to leave until you fail or die. There will be no such thing as giving up. But you can, for example, not try to pass it anymore. Eventually, the test will be over, so you will fail at that point."
"That's pretty much everything necessary, as for the rules of the test, you will know before it starts. Now you can go back to do whatever you want, and I will send a message to the entire ship when we start to get close."
Everyone separated and went back to do their own things. Arlan and Ao immediately left for a training room, and Mina was together with them. Want it or not, Mina was also a lady under the age of 40 in the Core Formation Realm, so she had the right to participate. Arlan didn't mind, though. As long as she doesn't bother him during this critical period, he is more than happy to have his fiance close by.
Shinja left with Lofa and Yusa. Lofa can still improve a little before the exam, so Shinja decided to help her a little more. Yusa had also stabilized her cultivation during the last month, so she tagged along. In the end, Krune was left alone.
He sent his Divine Sense into the Pocket Dimension and asked if Ruik and the others wanted to see the ship. There were no rules about how many people you could bring with you since everyone that fails will be sent back anyway. Of course, you couldn't bring thousands of them. But Krune has the Spatial Box nevertheless, so he isn't using any space on the ship to start with.
Lakin, Cassy, Ruik, and everyone else got excited about the idea of seeing the space and immediately came out. Krune has a huge room for himself, so he also brought out the other wisps to take a look. Other than Elder Loni, no one can enter the contestants' rooms without permission, so he wasn't afraid of the wisps being found. All the rooms also had Formations to prevent Divine Sense from looking inside.
After he brought them out, he noticed that two more wisps had achieved the 9th stage of the Qi Condensation. He then called the two over to talk a bit. Lakin and Cassy also came together to introduce the two guys.
"Master, the wisp on your right is Liam, while on the left is Hana. Temporary names, of course. They entered the 9th stage of the Qi Condensation in the last month thanks to all the spirit stones you sent inside."
Krune nodded, satisfied.
"Hello, you two. I don't have time to talk and take care of all the wisps, as Lakin does. So other than your names, I didn't know much about you before. But now that you arrived in the 9th stage, I will share a little of my experiences so that it can help you in the future. Lakin and Cassy probably did it already, but just in case."
The two wisps immediately got excited, it is not every day that the Ancestor wisp would guide them, after all.
Krune then spent a few hours talking and teaching them, he also looked in their abilities and helped them to understand the Myriad Energies Technique better. All the other wisps were also watching and taking notes of what krune was saying and showing. Krune, of course, didn't mind that at all. At some point, Ruik and the other demon beasts had left to look around the Spaceship, the only ones that should remain in his room were the wisps.
Krune was feeling very relaxed during the next few days. He would cultivate at some times and teach the wisp during another. Sometimes he would spar with Shinja, Yusa, and the others too. He couldn't help but think about how good it is. The only thing that puzzled him is how many times Lofa came to pay a visit, not that he minded, of course.
He also received requests from Tasier to train with him another three times, which gave him a lot of Rank Five spirit stones. But Tasier was already getting to the limit that his Lightning Element could achieve. Tasier's last elemental test gave him a total of 7862 points for Lightning Element. So instead, Krune helped him with his other two elements, Wind and Metal, which proved to be the right decision. Tasier's combat prowess increased by leaps and bounds. He could even spar for a little time against Ao and Arlan now.
And just like that, the time passed.
It had been almost one month since the Spaceship departed. Today, Krune was teaching the wisps a little more when suddenly, he heard a voice coming from everywhere in the ship.
"Everyone, we are close to the Divine Path Sect. We should be able to see it in the next few hours, so take your time to rest and refrain from doing anything dangerous. We are arriving almost at the right time, so you will only have one day to prepare before the exam starts."
Not only Krune, but everyone got excited as well. Krune then brought the wisps close to the monitor in the room and turned it on. It had the option to show everything around the ship. Even though they were still a few hours away, they could already see the sect in the distance. They couldn't help but be amazed. The sect occupied, in fact, an entire planet!
The closer they got, the bigger they noticed that the planet was. Krune's Makui Planet could only be considered an Ant in front of this place. In fact, the Divine path Sect doesn't have that many people, the biggest majority of those living on the planet just work for them. But they still had hundreds of thousands of members.
Krune could also see Spaceships bigger and smaller than his coming and going. As the power controlling their territory, it goes without saying that a lot of deals and decisions happen in this place. While everyone was taking a look, Elder Loni sent them another message.
"We are taking the test in the main sect."
The monitor that showed the planet then zoomed the camera somewhere close to the middle of the planet. Even from this distance, it was possible to see a huge amount of buildings. Everyone single one was bound to be gigantic. The closer you looked at the center of those buildings, the bigger they got. The main sector definitely had over a kilometer radius.
"As you can see, the sector is quite big. But I might tell you as well that the Spiritas Kingdom's main sector expands even further than our sect. Anyway, the buildings are separated into Core, Inner, and Outer parts. There are a few more things, but it won't matter for you at the moment. The test will happen in the outer parts."
The camera then zoomed even further and showed a place where one could see tens of thousands of Spaceships.
"This is the place where we are going to dock. As you can see, there is a lot of contestants who arrived already. But in the end, just how many will be able to enter the sect? I doubt that even 1% at most 2% will join it, So make sure to go all out! Every time the Entrance Exam stars, no less than a thousand dies, and even more get seriously injured or crippled for life. If you want to give up, the time is now. Just send me a message through the link I gave you, and I will have someone bring you back to the Makui Planet."
Elder Loni then waited for a minute, but no message arrived.
"Good, it seems like I didn't bring any gutless ant. Take your time to rest and be ready by the time I tell you to exit the ship."
Krune was brimming with confidence. He couldn't help but wonder how the exam would be. But suddenly, he felt a ripple coming from his Elemental Core. In fact, it wasn't only one, but three ripples! All of them coming from the place where the Spaceships were docked with the contestants from other planets.
"Light Spirit, did you feel that?"
Light Spirit immediately answered.
"Yes."
Krune felt that there was some kind of connection between him and those places.
"Then what is it?"
Light Spirit then said.
"Major Cores Resonance!"
