Krune didn't have much to do after that, so he could only pass his days cultivating or cooking in the restaurant. At the moment, the Godly Stones he got in the restaurant would probably be used in the Mortal Realm by others. That was to be expected since he has so many Top Quality Godly Stones now. There was no way he could receive the same quality of stones as payment for his dishes. Perhaps, Nascent God Star Level dishes might have people or beasts willing to pay for that much. Obviously, Krune was just too far from that.
Just as Franlia expected, several sects and other powers appeared in her Sky Shifting Sect to ask about what happened in the Other Space. Different from the Kalame Sect, they were only interested in what was inside. Fortunately, she wasn't the only one. The Three Peaks and Flower River Sects also kept receiving the same thing. In the end, the agreement of keeping the demon beast corpse information secret came in hand. All they got were a few excuses that Franlia, Aragan, and Binmia agreed beforehand.
In the end, the only ones interested in Krune and Iem were the members of the Kalame Sect.
Nothing much happened during the two years that Krune and Iem were supposed to wait. Iem would spend most of his time in the Formations or Alchemist Guild other than cultivating. As for Krune, he used his time for cooking and blacksmithing other than cultivating. Of course, every now and then, Krune and Iem would go out to test their strength in a few missions. A cultivation realm like the Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realm still wasn't enough for a need to leave the Zamaria Planet to arrive. There were plenty of missions for their average cultivation level and above here.
During this time, Iem went from the 6th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm all the way to the 1st Stage of the Divinity Realm. However, he had the same barrier as Krune and all the other Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts. The amount of energy necessary in the Divinity Realm was frightening high. Even with Top Quality Godly Stones, Iem was only able to reach the Peak of the 1st Stage. The impressive thing was that of the two years, Iem used one year to reach the Divinity Realm, but spent the entire other year in the same 1st Stage of the Divinity Realm. The energy necessary for Divinity Realm cultivations was really no joke!
As for the Chaos Meridians, they weren't that hard for Iem to open in the end. Just as Krune had mentioned, Godly Energy made the presence of the Nine Energies easier to detect and absorb. Such a thing would have been impossible in the Mortal Realm. The meridian that took the longest to open was the Blackhole Meridian. He had to ask for Franlia's help and form an agreement with the Kalame Sect to go out. After all, where would they find a black hole in their solar system? If such a thing existed here, there would be no planets or sun around to start with.
After that, transforming the Chaos Meridians into Godly Meridians was an easy thing to do. He just had to follow the same process as Krune, and the meridians fused and evolved by themselves.
Nevertheless, even with his Godly Meridians, Heavenly Core, and Heavenly Race bloodline, he just matched Krune's cultivation speed. At the moment, Krune was feeding the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher, which slowed his cultivation quite a lot. Otherwise, he would definitely be faster now that he got so many Heavenly Fragments. Not to mention that he had ten Godly Meridians instead of nine.
It couldn't be helped. As talented as a Heavenly Race might be, they are not beings of energy like wisps. It's like Wally, and his disciples said in the past, the Myriad Energies Technique was created with the wisps in mind. No other race should dream of achieving the same results as the wisps. That was also the reason why Iem failed in creating a 10th Meridian with Harold's Laws.
As for Krune, these two years were quite fruitful for him. He caught up to his cultivation level in blacksmithing. He used the chance to upgrade his Myriad Lightning Shields with older Myriad Lightning Metals from the Lightning Sect. Now, his shields were at the Divinity Stars grade and could even reach a level above his cultivation, thanks to the Purple Flame's effect.
Krune's Spiritual Dishes also went a step further. He could now use Peak Divinity Realm Ingredients to prepare them. However, different from the past, he couldn't go one level above his cultivation realm to prepare dishes. After all, after the Divinity Realm, came the Mortal Rejection Realm.
One must not misunderstand the Transformation Realm that is between the Divinity and Mortal Rejection Realms. As mentioned in the past, the Transformation Realm is not really a cultivation realm. It doesn't matter which of the nine stages of the Transformation Realm you are. You are still considered a Peak Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast. Krune would need to reach the Peak of the Divinity Realm first before thinking about creating a Mortal Rejection Stars Dish.
Other than that, Krune's cultivation proceeded as he had imagined. After two whole years, he only had a single breakthrough into the 4th Stage of the Divinity Realm. Not to mention that the amount of energy necessary increased once more, so he would take even longer to reach the 5th Stage. According to his and Luvile's calculation, the next three years before the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher gets fueled would still not be enough to enter the 5th Stage.
Finally, the Kalame Sect contacted Franlia, Krune, and Iem.
Inside the Sect Master's Hall in the Sky Shifting Sect, Latam Zanca was already waiting for Krune and Iem. He was the same one who came to inform the two about their need for the duo.
"You two are finally here. Are you ready to go?"
Krune and Iem looked at each other before telling Latam.
"Yes, but our Masters want to talk with your Sect Master once we arrive in the Kalame Sect."
Latam wasn't surprised by that. He already thought that the 'background' behind Krune and Iem would eventually contact them. However, he didn't notice's Franlia change in expression. She knew very well that Krune and Iem don't really have a background, so who could be those masters?
Latam then nodded his head.
"Very well, I'll tell my sect master once we arrive. In fact, you would meet with him anyway. Let's go."
Without another choice, Franlia could only let Krune and Iem leave with Latam without being able to offer much support.
'I hope they know what they are doing.'
Latam then enveloped Krune and Iem with his Godly Energy and shot into the skies. Not too long after, he was already in outer space. There, he spread his Divine Sense to find where his Planet was located in their Solar System. As mentioned before, Godly Energy could block Divine Sense. Latam had to first come into outer space, where Godly Energy is scarce, so that he could spread his Divine Sense far enough to reach his Planet.
Without wasting any time, he soon opened a Spatial Gate and entered it with Iem and Krune. It only took a few seconds for Krune and Iem to appear beside the Kalame Sect's Planet. From there, things were a lot easier. Latam was able to open another Spatial Gate directly inside the Kalame Sect itself.
"We are here."
As expected, the Kalame Sect was enormous. Even with Krune and Iem's Divine Sense or Mental Energy spread to the max, they couldn't see the end of it.
"Don't bother looking into it. Our Kalame Sect occupies an entire country. Your Divine Senses won't be able to cover it all at your levels."
Krune and Iem nodded. It was not like they were impressed anyway. Back in the Mortal Realm, their powers were able to occupy an entire planet, after all. The Divine Path Sect, where Krune's master was presiding, is an excellent example of it.
Latam then brought Krune and Iem inside. On the way, they passed through several rooms and elders of the Kalame Sect who looked at them with puzzled faces. From the looks of it, those people and demon beasts had no idea about their visit. Finally, Latam brought Krune and Iem into a secluded Hall in the Kalame Sect where a man was busy cultivating alone.
"Sect Master, I've brought them."
The man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Krune and Iem. This was the first Nascent God Realm cultivator that Krune and Iem had seen face to face. Still, they kept their composure as if nothing was happening at all.
"So you have come. My name is Zuitou Kalame, Kalame Sect's Sect Master. Anyway, before anything else, Latam told me that your Masters want to talk with me first, is it?"
Krune and Iem nodded.
"Indeed. They are here already, so you can talk to them."
Zuitou and Latam were taken aback by those words. They spread their Divine Senses, but couldn't feel anything at all. How come they were here?
Suddenly, Krune and Iem's bodies emitted Purple and Black Lights. Soon after, a wisp of Black Flames and a small Sphere of Purple Lightning came out of them. It was then that those two began to expand and take the form of a man covered in black flames and another with Purple Lightning.
Latam was very calm at first. However, the moment he felt the aura coming from those two, he began to sweat coldly. He couldn't feel their cultivation since they were not here, but the two's auras were more than enough for him to understand. He was nothing more than an ant in front of them. In fact, he felt like even his Sect Master's aura wasn't as frightening as them.
In fact, even Zuitou, who was calm at first, felt some pressure from their appearance. Those two were definitely far above the level he imagined them to be.
Luvile and Harold might have no cultivation at the moment, but their auras were still very much present. They didn't want to do such a thing if possible, but it was necessary to keep Krune and Iem safe. In the end, they could only go with this play to scare the other side.
