Is that a Wisp?

After finishing everything, Krune quickly stored the Shields and left the workshop. He went straight to the Formations Guild in the city where Iem had been practicing so far. However, he was surprised when he saw Iem again.

"You broke through in the 9th Stage!"

Iem couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha! I, your grandfather, am obviously amazing. Yes, I broke through two days ago. I used the merit points I got after we joined the Sect to buy a few cultivation resources. With them, I was successful in my breakthrough."

They had entered the Sky Shifting Sect so that they could have access to those resources exactly. Iem didn't waste such a chance and bought them as soon as he could.

Krune was happy for him too. So far, only Iem had been able to keep up with his cultivation speed.

"Congratulations. It will make the exploration in the Godly Vein much safer. By the way, I brought my shields."

Krune then took all the shields out of his Spatial Ring.

"Do you think you can finish all 102 of them?"

Iem nodded.

"We still have three entire weeks, that's more than enough time. However, these shields... other than the hexagonal shapes, they are very different from those you used when you fought me. Was it supposed to be like this?"

Krune laughed.

"You can tell, uh? Indeed, they are very different. They now have a new ability, you will see when the time to enter the Godly Vein Sealed Space comes."

Iem laughed as well and put the shields away.

"Don't worry, I'll deliver them back to you in two weeks. You will have another week to practice with them before the grand event. By the way, you said that each Sect can send one group inside of the Godly Vein Sealed Space. I also received the invitation for the next Top Quality Godly Stones exploring. However, I don't know how the groups are made yet."

Krune already expected that question, so he opened his communicator and sent Iem some information. Iem quickly took his one out and read about it.

"I see, so we have a total of ten slots for each Sect. Three of them are reserved for Divinity Realm, and the rest can be used by Semi-Divinity Realm or below. Between the Divinity Realms, there can be only one in the late stages, which means between the 7th and 9th. Another one in the middle stages, which is between 4th and 6th. And finally, one in the initial stages, obviously between 1st and 3rd."

"It seems there is no such thing as a restriction for how strong the rest are as long as they are below the Divinity Realm."

Krune nodded.

"Both you and I can fight at the level of ordinary Semi-Divinity Realm late stages. However, those who are going to be sent inside are definitely much stronger than ordinary ones. So chances are that we are weaker than them."

Iem shrugged his shoulder.

"That is only in case we don't go all out. If we do, I doubt we will much weaker than them. I still think that it's the best set up for combat for us. Besides, I very much want to get my hands on a few of these so-called Top Quality Godly Stones. Until today, I haven't seen any Middle or High-Quality, let alone Top ones."

Krune couldn't help but warn Iem, worried.

"Don't forget that the objective of this mission is to collect these Top-Quality Godly Stones. If you try to hide them for yourself, I believe you will be screwed up once you come out."

Iem shook his head.

"I'm not that idiot. No doubt God Foundation and maybe even the God Core Realm Masters of those sects will be present to protect us at that time. However, it is said that we can take 1/10 of the Top-Quality Stones we find inside. As long as I get enough, I'll be able to procure a few for myself."

Krune sighed in relief after hearing that.

"Then that's good. Anyway, I'll leave my shields with you. Call me when you finish them."

Iem nodded, and they separated right after.

Krune then returned to his Restaurant. He went straight to the kitchen and took a few Semi-Divinity Level Ingredients out. Soon, the smell of Spiritual Food spread in the empty building. Krune was planning to do the same thing as Iem, a breakthrough into the 9th Stage before going in. besides, cooking was very good when he wanted to relax.

"Palia Bird Soup, done!"

Krune hadn't eaten Spiritual food in quite a few days, so he was quite pleased to have it again. As mentioned before, the Godly Energy in Spiritual Food can be consumed. Still, it isn't ownerless like the Godly Energy in the air or Godly Stones. The advantage was that Spiritual Food had a lot more of it inside and was harmonized, speeding up the cultivation. On the other hand, the consumer would need some time to transform that energy into his own. Even Krune's Goodly Energy Meridians couldn't change it.

Krune savored the soup with great gusto, not leaving anything behind. After finishing, he went back to the kitchen and cooked another Semi-Divinity Star dish. Krune wasn't being harsh; he could really take that much at once. It's just that some of the food's energy will be lost. Still, he will need to spend some time to transform all that energy into his own.

In the end, Krune returned to his room, satisfied.

"Great! I should take around a week to finish transforming the Spiritual Food Energy. I'm already close to the 9th Stage to start with, so I should be ready to breakthrough after it."

Luvile then suggested to Krune.

"In that case, use this time to comprehend the laws. So far, you got three Elemental Primary Laws completed, Fire, Water, and obviously, Lightning. Still, you need to finish comprehending Earth and Wind. If you do that, the power of your Rainbow Domain will increase at least two folds. Of course, just a few weeks won't make much of a difference, but it is better than doing nothing."

Krune agreed with him.

"Indeed. I already tested my Rainbow Domain in the beast horde back in the Underground City, and I only had a single Major Law at that time. Still, the power of my Domain increased quite a lot just because of that. I can't help but feel excited about it when I finish all five."

"Too bad that I'm stuck at the Law Eating Sub-Law Advanced Stage of your Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws. Otherwise, I believe it would get even better."

Krune had achieved the Advanced Stage of the Law Eating Sub-Law over three years ago. But since then, he didn't get a single step further. Not only that, but the Lightning Flow Sub-law was also stuck at the Intermediate Stage.

Luvile didn't seem to care, though.

"Don't worry about it. I was already expecting it to happen. If you are already feeling discouraged because of this, then I don't wanna see when you begin the last Sub-Law, Lightning Formation. That one is the real challenge of my Purple Tribulation Lightning Sub-laws. Without a doubt, it will take longer than any other. Just keep trying, sooner or later you will find the missing piece."

Krune smiled and nodded. He then separated his mind between cultivation, soul cultivation, laws, and his Master's Elements Regulation Technique.

Three years had been fruitful for Krune with that Elements Regulation Technique. Krune could already merge the elements up to 70%! Not only that, but he could use some of it in his attacks too. Still, Krune didn't expect that reaching 100% was this hard. As mentioned before, the Elements Regulation Technique was related to the five primary elements. The Initial and Middle Stages are all about control, while the Advanced Stage was about fusion. Only when he gets a 100% will he be considered to be at the Advanced Stage of that technique.

As for Krune's Soul Cultivation Technique, he finally reached the 5th Stage of the Soul Transformation. One must not forget that Heavin's Soul Cultivation Technique has only five stages in each Realm. Obviously, he was much slower than Heavin, who created it for Divine Souls. Still, that was an excellent growth. Krune was just waiting for his soul to be stable enough to try a breakthrough into the Soul Control Realm.

The days passed in a flash, and soon, another week went by. Today, Krune finally finished transforming all the Spiritual Food Energy into his own. He quickly took out several Godly Stones and put them around his Energy Gathering Formation. Godly Energy came out of the Godly Stones like torrents, all entering Krune's body crazily. His Divine Soul absorbed everything and kept growing in size.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, a burst of Spiritual Energy spread from Krune's body, quickly going out. However, Luvile was already expecting that, so he stopped it from damaging anything. Krune then opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Phew... 9th Stage achieved. Now I'm ready to enter the Sealed Space too."

Luvile agreed with him.

"That's good. However, your foundation energy is a little chaotic at the moment because of the breakthrough. You still have two weeks, so use it to stabilize everything."

After hearing that, Krune couldn't help but think.

'I haven't practiced alchemy in a while, so I'm still at the Diamond Level. Foundation Stabilizing pills of that level will not have any effect on me. I guess I will practice it once more after everything is done with.'

Krune quickly put those thoughts behind and began to stabilize his foundation once more.
