Soon, two weeks passed. Iem had already passed Krune his Shields Back. Krune then took some time to get used to the Godly Energy Consumption and control. After all, he had almost three times the amount he had before. Fortunately, his Soul Power was enough to use them all without losing the attention of his own condition.
Krune and Iem gathered in the Sky Shifting Sect, where they took a Teleport Formation that sent them directly to the Godly Veins Mountain Range. They then followed the instructions in their communicators and quickly arrived on a certain encampment. There, they met with the other eight members who would be going inside the Sealed Space.
No one knew about Krune's relationship with Tulike and the Sect Master, so everyone was taken aback when they saw their cultivation. Obviously, no one other than Tulike and his Mother/Father knew about their real combat power either. That being said, they thought something went wrong when the selection for this mining exploration was made.
One of the members of the group, a Semi-Divinity Realm demon beast called Sisan, immediately complained to the elder responsible.
"Senior Luako, what is happening here? Those two are only at the 9th Stage of the Divine View Realm. Did someone get it wrong and thought they were at the 9th Stage of the Semi-Divinity?"
Luako was obviously the name of the elder in charge at the moment.
"There is nothing wrong. Krune and Iem are indeed joining your group in this mining exploration. I don't know the details, but it seems like the orders came from above. I also complained to the higher-ups, but they couldn't do anything."
The Late Stage Divinity Realm member, a guy called Jimage Rancin, narrowed his eyes.
"The Sealed Area has different levels of Chaotic Space. Some of them are too fragile even for Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts to enter. That's why we bring Semi-Divinity Realm and below with us. They will be able to enter those areas and gather the Top Quality Godly Stones there. However, chances are that they will bump on the other Sects' Semi-Divinity Realm forces. At that time, the ones inside will have no choice other than fight for the Stones."
"However, those two are only in the Divine View Realm, an entire Realm below from what we need. Our group will be at a severe disadvantage if two members can't help. The worst-case will be if we need to protect them while at it. I can't help but disagree with this decision, elder Luako."
The elder obviously expected for that.
"I know, but you will have to cope with it. However, the orders passed was that you can abandon those two if they drag you down. They are not special or anything. Although I don't know how they convinced the higher-ups to let them in, it doesn't seem like the higher-ups care about their lives either."
A woman with cultivation in the 3rd Stage of the Divinity Realm shook her head. Her name was Xanala Lacressen.
"Even if that is the case, our number would still go down by two. We would only have five members instead of seven in the chaotic spaces that don't accept Divinity Realm forces inside. What good would be even if we abandon them?"
The others were also about to complain when Luako raised his hand.
"I know what you are thinking, but it's like I said. The higher-ups already made their decision. Besides, you all know how vital the Top-Quality Godly Stones are for the Sect. I doubt the Sect would send those two without a good reason, especially in wartimes. Anyway, stop complaining and get along. We are leaving for the Sealed Space in a few hours."
The other group members didn't like it, but they could only follow those orders.
Iem and Krune heard all of that but didn't say anything. Instead, they just conversed through Divine Sense message.
'It seems like they don't like us. Hahaha!'
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
'It can't be helped. If we were in their shoes, we probably wouldn't like it either. Even if we say that we can fight late stages Semi-Divinity Realm enemies, they probably wouldn't believe it. Even if they do, they would have doubts about our resistance in a battle of attrition. Anyway, it's better to not say anything.'
Iem nodded.
'That's true. However, I didn't know that there were different levels of chaotic spaces inside the Sealed Godly Vein Areas. No wonder the agreement includes only three Divinity Realm cultivators or demon beasts per group. They need the Semi-Divinity and below ones to gather the Godly Stones of the more fragile spaces.'
Krune didn't seem to care.
'That's even better. If we were unlucky and got to fight a Divinity Realm enemy, even we would have some problem. Of course, it can still happen in the outer areas where the Divinity Realm ones can stay.'
Everyone quickly separated to prepare themselves. Iem and Krune took that chance to go talk with the elder in charge. They didn't get much information so far. The fact that they only found out about the different levels of chaotic spaces proved it. It was better to check if they needed to know anything else.
Luako noticed the two approaching him.
"What is it?"
Krune then stepped forward.
"Elder Luako. We would like to know if there is anything else we should know about the Sealed Godly Vein Space. Can you tell us more about it?"
Luako narrowed his eyes. He thought that since Krune and Iem got this special permission to enter, they would already have all the information necessary. But from the looks of it, he was wrong.
"I really wonder how you got to convince the higher-ups. Anyway, I'll tell you what I know since the lack of information could make your team be at an even worse position."
Luako obviously wasn't happy with this situation. Still, he began to explain.
"As you heard, there are several levels of chaotic spaces, and some of them can't even hold a Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast. However, those are the areas where you can find more Top-Quality Godly Stones. The reason for it is that the Godly Energy inside is much more concentrated, which gave birth to more stones but, at the same time, made the Space more fragile."
"The other thing to pay attention to is the Spatial Tears. They can appear anywhere, and if you fall into it, no one will be able to save you. Make sure you are prepared for this kind of situation."
Krune then asked.
"I guess it is okay to say that the chaotic spaces where Divinity Realm can't enter have even more Spatial Tears, right?"
Elder Luako nodded.
"Exactly."
Luako then continued.
"Next. You will obviously encounter enemies of other sects that will try to kill you for your Godly Stones. So I won't talk about it. However, there are also Space Type Creatures inside that place. Those creatures can literally appear almost anywhere they want. They are not living beings, nor do they have intelligence. Still, they are even more dangerous since their numbers are higher. The only good thing is that their power is also limited to the limit of power that Space itself can hold. Make sure to keep your Divine Sense spread all times. Although you won't be able to spread it more than a few hundred meters inside, that can save your lives."
Iem was the one to ask a question this time.
"Does that mean that we can detect these creatures with Divine Sense?"
Luako nodded.
"You can detect the fluctuation of Space, which happens when they appear. However, it is very feeble, so you better pay even more attention to it."
"Other than that is the Top Quality Godly Stones themselves. They are attached to Godly Energy Nodes, and removing them can be quite troublesome. You need to be extremely careful when that time comes. Once you remove it, the Godly Energy Node might explode, which will shatter the Space around. Each Top Quality Godly Stone has one of the five primary elements, and so does the nodes. I hope your Elemental Control is good enough to do this job."
Krune and Iem's eyes lit up. If elemental control was what they needed, then they are confident that they will be fine. Krune has his Element Regulation Technique and Godly Meridians. Iem is a Heavenly Core Owner and a Heavenly Race member. Probably, none of the Semi-Divinity Realm members of their group would be better than them with this.
"Alright, those are the main points you should pay attention to. Go back and prepare yourselves as well. We are leaving soon."
Krune and Iem bowed to thank Luako and then left.
'What do you think?'
Iem smiled after hearing that question.
'It looks more and more interesting. I was afraid that we wouldn't encounter many challenges with just the other two sects' groups, but now I'm relieved.'
Krune couldn't help but laugh.
'You really like to battle, don't you?'
Iem didn't deny it.
'Of course! That's the best way to raise one's cultivation. It's during moments of life and death that you can break your limits. How can I not be happy with this mission? Hahaha!'
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
'Well, just make sure you don't start a battle against me.'
'Don't worry, the other opponents seem fun as well.'
Krune and Iem kept talking about other matters from then on. Finally, the time for everyone to depart arrived.
