Chapter 1085: Split Up and Reach the Peak

"There's a lot of information I found out," Feifei said after seeing Zamuria.

"I didn't have much luck with the rest, but I managed to find some information about the treasure in that town," Zamuria said in response. "There are some mysterious treasures in other places as well. I obtained a list of them all."

"That's great." Feifei laughed as they exchanged information after arriving at a secluded location beyond the city. Once she learned of all the information related to the needle treasure, Feifei nodded in satisfaction. "I see, so only tools related to pure Spiritual Energy are capable of touching this treasure. The tools used by that group had been created using Spirit Stones and refined naturally for a millennium. Only after that did it attain the necessary purity to touch it."

'We don't have such tools with us, but we have Krune.' Feifei laughed. "Let's return first and then work up a plan."

"Alright." Zamuria nodded as the two of them sprinted towards their camp, noticing a jovial atmosphere as everyone seemed to be playing a game of...tag?

"What...is happening?" Feifei frowned, glaring at a certain silly wisp that was laughing boisterously as he swerved between one pillar to another while exclaiming at the top of his voice, "I am...speed!"

Upon seeing the arrival of Feifei and Zamuria, Krune stopped, chuckling a little as he curbed his excitement, trying his best to appear prim and proper as he flew towards Feifei, asking, "How did it go?"

"What were the lot of you doing here?" Feifei asked in return.

"We were playing tag," Krune said with a laugh. "But in this tag, all of us would work together to catch the culprit. And, if this culprit manages to evade for three minutes, it's their win. And, we can run anywhere within this field the Seamstress had created. It's both fun and helps train our agility and dynamic perception."

Krune then boasted, "None of these people managed to touch me once. The total time I evaded them has already reached two hours."

"Let's see if you can still maintain your record once I join the mix," Feifei snickered menacingly, knowing Krune like the back of her hand, knowing his bias very well. She was confident of catching him easily, even though his wisp form granted him superior agility and dexterity.

"We'll play games later," Zamuria interjected, beckoning for everyone to gather around as she began to inform them of everything they had discovered. Eventually, she concluded, "Spiritual Marks would help us tremendously once we leave the God Realm. We can abuse them to obtain techniques that we otherwise are incapable of using. As for the treasures lying around the ground level, we'll split up into teams to gather them. And finally, by ascending through the Immortal Staircase, we would obtain cultivation techniques that are perfectly suited to us."

"Everything contains their respective risks. Whether you wish to take them or not depends entirely on you. The list of treasures I obtained only mentions six treasures. There might be more of them out there." She continued, looking at the Black Demons, "But, I'll have you all know that you don't have an infinite lifespan now. Maybe if you lived in a region filled with miasma, it might be the same. Without the Demon Nest, you won't have an unending supply of miasma."

The Demon Nest was a special entity that absorbed the essence of the world and produced miasma. Without it, the only other way to produce miasma was for the Black Demons to consume food and generate it.

However, the quantity they could produce this way was limited by the amount of food they could procure. It was a pain in the neck process since food didn't grow in excess and was an exhaustible resource.

Feifei took the chance to address everyone, "To make things faster, split yourself into smaller groups, no less than three. Not all of us have the freedom of time on our hands. So, once we complete our objective, we would begin proceeding through the Immortal Peak."

She then announced, "We'll all either meet at the peak or in the God Realm. Krune and I would be speeding through the things here, so we'll be reaching it the earliest. We'll establish a way for all of us to arrive at the same place in God Realm."

She then arrived before Krune, saying, "Let's get going."

She then looked at Zamuria and told her, "We'll meet at the peak. Let's race to see who reaches it first, haha."

"Interesting." Zamuria grinned. "Don't come crying to me if I reach it a decade before you."

"Surely you jest," Feifei retorted. "I'll become a wrinkled old granny while waiting for you at the peak."

After some banter, Zamuria hugged Feifei, saying, "I'll be waiting for you."

"Same here." Feifei nodded. "I'm glad to have met you."

Standing on the side, Krune and Zamura looked at each other awkwardly as they asked in unison, "Do we really have to hug each other?"

"Nope!"

After a couple of seconds, Zamura said, "Well, if I have a daughter, I'll gift you as a plushie to her. I feel like that would be the best gift to give a child. A plushie that can protect her from any harm."

"I can just send in a clone for that. So, it's not troublesome." Krune then asked with curiosity, "You've already mentioned it a couple of times now. You don't even have a girlfriend. A daughter is way beyond you for the time being."

"Well..." Zamura mildly scratched his cheek as faint green radiance wrapped around them, preventing the topic of their discussion from being heard by others as he said, "I just realized that I have the hots on the Seamstress."

"She even has grandchildren, though," Krune retorted immediately, "It won't be possible. Forget about her."

"Are you even my friend?" Zamura snorted in response, retorting in return, "She does have grandchildren. But, she doesn't have a husband. Her husband died young while protecting her from evil. That's one of the principal reasons she goes around vanquishing evil."

"Indeed, it is like that..." Krune nodded in realization. "Right, that's what she had mentioned once. But still, are you okay with this? She already has someone in her heart."

"Well, it would be for the best if you can convince my heart otherwise." Zamura laughed. "But, it seems to have decided already. Oh well, what else can I do?"

"I have a feeling that you seem to prefer uphill battles." Krune spoke, suddenly noticing Zamura blush a little as he cursed in disgust, "Man, don't show me that face! Throw it away!"
