Chapter 191: On the way
The Spaceship departed while Ramon Gonie was explaining the rules.
"This dimensional realm exploration is also considered a mission, so everyone here will get merit points once it is concluded. For those who came from the other powers, make sure to exchange the points for the things you like before the end of the program. The number of merit points is determined according to how far inside you can reach."
Roman continued.
"Due to the instability of those realms, the highest cultivation allowed inside is the Divine Soul Realm. That means that no elder will be able to accompany you there this time. This is also the reason why we selected those places since its limitation in cultivation is also applied to all living beings inside."
"As for the groups, you can decide for yourselves if you are moving together or alone. All that matters is your accomplishments. If you think that you can do better alone, by all means, go ahead and try it. We are not going to intervene with anything that happens inside."
"Each of you will receive a Runestone Formation that can be used only once to leave the place. But don't misunderstand it. This is supposed to be a trial to check your survival abilities and improve your potential through Life and Death situations. There are only two ways to activate this Runestone. The first one is to reach the Inner Core region. The second one is to wait for the 6 months of the realm aperture to be over."
"Of course, once you get to the inner core region, you can select to go further and hone your skills even more. But don't forget, Divine Soul is the limit but also the realm of the most dangerous things in there. So don't overestimate your own abilities."
"Finally, we have no idea what you might find inside. We just made sure that the dimension is stable and won't collapse anytime soon. We did send a few Divine Soul Cultivators to take a look, but we made sure that they would not leave the outer perimeter. They basically entered just to see if the place was suitable for training or not. Also, the elders will stay guard outside in case something happens to the dimension."
"Alright, that's basically everything you need to know. We should arrive at the first dimension in three days while the second one is a week away. The first dimension is for the low realm team to enter."
Feifei was just about to send a Divine Sense message to Krune when suddenly, the guys from the Wang Clan flocked around her.
Wang Mo was the first one to talk.
"Feifei, let's go together. I'm the strongest between everyone from our Wang Clan territory, so I'm confident that I can keep both of us safe."
Wang Ting didn't lose this chance either.
"Hmph! Isn't that the same as saying that Feifei is weak and can't defend herself? Feifei, I might not be the strongest, but I know that you aren't as weak as Mo is saying. What about we work together?"
Mar Jilano and Tuesly Huviu also tried to convince her to move with them alone.
Hearing all of that was making Feifei feel a headache already.
Suddenly, she heard a Divine Sense message from Krune.
"Would it be a problem if you leave them behind after entering the Dimensional Realm?"
Feifei immediately answered.
"The grand elder will definitely complain after I return, but other than that, it is okay."
Krune then said.
"Then let's go together. I want to see if our combined strength will work fine. It's also an excellent opportunity to see if something different will happen due to our different Major Cores."
That was what Feifei wanted too, but there was a problem.
"Those guys around me definitely won't leave me alone. Not to mention that the grand elder probably told them to keep an eye on me all the time. Also, it is evident that the Divine Path Sect disciples intend to follow you too."
Krune, Tasier, and Lofa, obviously weren't the only members of the Sect in this program. In fact, the Sect had sent its own disciples this time around, so they had a total of five more Core Formation Realm cultivators and demon beasts. They decided that the safest way was to follow Krune since they saw his battle against Wang Ting.
Krune then smiled and said.
"That is not a problem. Once we are inside, just grab my hand and leave the rest to me!"
Feifei understood what Krune was going to do and couldn't help but laugh a little. The guys around her heard that and were puzzled about what she found so funny. Feifei noticed that and said.
"Oh, sorry. It's just that this situation reminded me of something else. Anyway, you guys do as you wish, and I will do the same."
They didn't know what she meant with that. Still, they had indeed received the grand elder order to have one of them staying close to her. So whether she wanted or not, at least one of them would follow Feifei around. All this discussion was to see who it would be. Feifei, of course, just ignored them and left.
Everyone had their own rooms in the Spaceship. When Krune finally got some time alone, he immediately asked Light Spirit about what happened back in the Sect.
"So, what is this thing about Luvile. Is this your real name?"
Light Spirit was already expecting him to ask that.
"It was a long time ago. Now, only someone like Cilia would remember that."
Krune then thought about the Dao Companion thing.
"Was she your wife? As for Taliu, was he your son?"
Light Spirit then answered.
"Sorry, but I don't want to talk about that."
Krune didn't force the issue, it was evident that something happened with Taliu. If Krune wasn't wrong, he didn't survive. Krune doesn't have a child, but he considers Lakin as one, so he understood that it wasn't his place to ask what happened.
"Leaving that behind, what is that thing about your body being imprisoned ?"
Light Spirit went silent for a little while and then said.
"It is as you heard, my real body is imprisoned at the moment, and I intend to take it back. But there is no point in us discussing it now. After all, it is not like you can do anything with your power. Wait for the day you reach the peak of the Divinity Realm, and then we can talk."
Krune sweated a little. The peak of the Divinity Realm? Just how long will it take?
Light Spirit then commented.
"Anyway. It is not like you aren't getting anything good for sharing your core with me, so it is a good trade. I'm recovering my power while you are getting to use the Tribulation Lightning."
Krune had to admit that Light Spirit is right, but he still had more questions, though.
"Can you tell me this time who you were and what happened?"
Light Spirit pondered a bit. There was a time he wanted to talk more. Still, Krune's Spiritual Energy Meridians acted on behalf of someone to send him a warning. So he wasn't able to say anything about the past at that time.
"Well..."
Just as Light Spirit was about to say something, Krune's Elemental Meridians once more acted on their own. Much for Krune's surprise. This is the second time it happened just when Light Spirit was about to talk. Light Spirit knew that it was the same warning from back then and said.
"Your IQ is very high, so you probably noticed this time, right?"
Indeed, Krune might have low EQ, but his intelligence is definitely not the same. For his Meridians to act by themselves two times and exactly when Light Spirit was talking. It was evident that they were the reason that Light Spirit couldn't say anything.
But that made Krune somewhat alarmed. Does that mean that his meridians are under the control of someone else?
"This... Are they not my meridians?"
Light Spirit then said.
"They are, it's just that they are also acting as an intermediate between me and whoever wants me to not say anything. Try to force them to calm down. At your level at the moment, I don't believe that your meridians will answer to anyone else's call."
Krune tried to do as Light Spirit said, and sure enough, Krune soon took back the control of his Meridians. It made Krune sigh in relief. At least, it seems like he can prevent them from obeying the other part.
"It is as you said. As soon as I tried to take the control back, they immediately answered my call."
Light Spirit wasn't surprised, though.
"I can tell you this much. The other side is as strong as I was back then. So I can't simply ignore his existence. Anyway, it is not like whatever happened back then would change anything for you now. When the time comes, I believe that the other part will tell you of his own volution. After all, you probably noticed no malicious intention, right?"
Krune nodded. When he tried to take control of his meridians back, he felt like the other part to be somewhat... gentle. As if it was a good thing. Still, Krune couldn't help but think about who it was. It was then that he had an idea.
"Someone who can control my Elemental Meridians from a distance as long as I allow it. Who else could it be if not the creator of the Myriad Energies Technique?"
Light Spirit laughed.
"Indeed. I also reached the same conclusion as you a long time ago."
It turned out that Krune didn't find much information, but there will come a day where he will understand what is going on.
