Chapter 207: You can keep dreaming
Outside the Dimensional Realm, Lucio Koffel, Wang Xin, and Hulibe Ronary were helping the other elders to accelerate the fix of the connection between the two sides. Between the participants who came around this time, the Spiritas Kingdom could be said to be the only one who sent members who weren't considered overly important. So after they got the news from the Divine Path Sect, they just sent another two Grand Elders to help.
Still, the place was in full lockdown, and not a single fly would be able to pass through. Lucio was putting his power on the task while talking with the others through Divine Sense.
"Just who could have sent those guys in and even used a Space Lock Formation from so far away? Could they be someone from the Central Region?"
Wang Xin nodded.
"It is possible, but we also can't discard the possibility of being someone from the other three protectorates."
Hulibe Ronary was also concerned about this issue.
"I find it improbable to be the other protectorates. They aren't any stronger than our Big Four, so why would any of them try to buy a fight with us?"
A grand elder of the spiritas kingdom then said.
"If it is some power from the Central Region, then it will be quite hard to find them. That place has several sects, clans, and alliances that aren't any weaker than us. In fact, quite a lot of them are even stronger. Let's not even talk about the Sacred lands."
When the elder mentioned the Sacred Lands, even Wang Xin and Lucio Koffel showed some respect on their faces.
The highest cultivation realm in their universe is the Divinity Realm, and all the Big Four have protectors or ancestors at this level. But the Sacred Lands are far ahead in this regard. A single Sacred Land has enough Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beast to wipe out the Big Four without using even half of their numbers.
That wasn't all. It is one thing to reach the Divinity Realm, but to achieve the late stages is something completely different. Putting the Big Four together, they probably don't have more than 5 or 6 Late Stages Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts. Lucio Koffel's Master, Lani, just so happens to be one of them. As for a single Sacred Land? Rumors say that a single one can mobilize over a hundred of them and still have some left to protect their homes. Of Course, how much of it is true or not, no one knows. But one thing is clear, they aren't the kind of power that the Big Four could afford to offend.
"Let's not think about who they are. First of all, why did those guys come? As far as I know, we don't have any grudge with any power that could afford such an approach. At least, my Divine Path Sect definitely doesn't."
The other also nodded. They, too, don't remember to have bought a fight with anyone. If anything, the Big Four had been quite peaceful in the past thousands of years.
Hulibe Ronary looked at Wang Xin and then commented.
"Wang Xin, that daughter of yours is the only thing I can think at the moment. In the end, what's the deal with those rumors about her Major Core?"
Wang Xin was already expecting this question. He just sighed and said.
"If I tell you that even our clan isn't sure about it, would you believe? I know about the rumors going around, but I can guarantee that Feifei's Major Core definitely isn't the Heavenly Major Core. In fact, I believe that you guys never really believed it to start with, right?"
Quite a few nodded. They all heard the rumors about the supposed Heavenly Core, but no one really trusted that information. They are far too rare, not to mention that Feifei never really showed any heaven-defying power other than her prediction skills.
Wang Xin then continued.
"So that's it. Feifei definitely doesn't have a Heavenly Major Core, that we are sure about. But her Major Core is indeed different from the normal ones, and as to why, we don't know. There are several theories between the higher-ups in the clan, but no one could prove anything. In my case, I think that this is just a mutation of a Destiny Core. But her Divination Abilities are indeed a lot better than anyone at her Realm, so that's why the clan put a lot of importance in her."
Hulibe Ronary then said.
"It still doesn't change the fact that she is probably the reason for those guys to come. It doesn't matter if we believe or not, the issue here is if someone else believed instead."
This time, Wang Xin went silent since he couldn't deny that possibility.
Lucio, who was hearing everything so far, then said.
"Alright, whether it was because of her or not, it doesn't matter at this moment. We need to get this connection to the Dimensional Realm fixed first. Also, since Wang Xin let Feifei come for this exchange program, then that means that at least Feifei herself should be fine, and probably are the others too."
Uncle Feng then commented.
"Lucio is correct. It was because of the Divination Abilities that the Wang Clan let her come. With that advantage, I doubt that something would happen to her."
Although he was worried, Wang Xin also believed in what Uncle Feng was saying. It was because Feifei couldn't see any danger and that her Destiny Core told her to come that he allowed it to happen.
Back inside of the Dimensional Realm, Krune, Uriu, and the Wang Clan guys were sitting close to the Central Building while cultivating. Krune had already healed his injuries, so he returned to his Human Form. It had been over a week since Feifei entered, but no sign of her could be seen. Krune had been wondering if he should risk it all and enter to take a look. But he knew that he had no chance against the defense system of that pace.
Finally, it had been almost a month since everyone entered the Dimensional Realm. Suddenly, Krune felt a ripple coming from his spatial ring. When he looked inside, he noticed the teleport runestone shinning. Immediately, he and everyone else understood. The connection between the Dimensional Realm and the outside had been restored!
Uriu got up and told Krune.
"I will be going then. I'll be waiting for you outside."
Krune nodded and said nothing. He had no intention of leaving before Feifei came out to start with.
Uriu wasn't the only one. Juniu's group and Hulibe Acrol also used their Teleport Runestone straight away and left the place. Wang Mo and the other two guys were also considering if they should leave or not. But after thinking a little, they understood that the elders outside definitely sent Divine Soul Realm members to check the situation inside. Sooner or later, they would reach this place as well, so they decided to wait before leaving.
Still, Krune and the Wang Clan guys didn't have to wait for long. That's because around an hour later, the defenses of the Central Building were turned off. A moment later, Feifei came outside with a tired face. However, Krune could see some excitement in her eyes. Whatever she got from Xanio, it seemed to have been very good.
The Wang Clan guys were the first to talk to her, but Feifei just gave a few words saying that everything was fine. As for Krune, he already received a Divine Sense message from Feifei the moment that she stepped out.
After that, Feifei approached Krune and smiled.
"We will need to talk with my father and your master."
Krune nodded.
"I know. We can talk about it once we leave this place. The teleportation runestones are active now, so let's leave first."
Wang Mo and the others were puzzled about what they were talked about. Still, Feifei and Krune used their runestones before they could ask anything.
Since there was no one else anymore, Wang Mo's group also used their runestones and left. Not long after, the Central Building started to tremble and then crumbled down. Xanio's will that was inside dissipated, and the projection of the Destiny Core Heavenly Fragment disappeared. Only Feifei would be able to tell what happened inside now.
Outside, Wang Xin and Lucio Koffel already asked Uriu and the others what happened. When they didn't see Feifei and Krune, they felt nervous. Uriu then explained everything that happened through a Divine Sense message that he had already formulated a long time ago. Only then did everyone there understand the circumstances. Lucio felt relived that Krune was fine, but Wang Xin narrowed his eyes.
Unfortunately, his cultivation realm is too high, so he can't enter the Dimensional Realm. In the end, he can only trust in the Divine Soul Realm subordinates that entered the realm a while ago. But his worries didn't last long since Feifei, Krune, and Wang Mo's group appeared outside an hour later. Seeing that Feifei was fine made Wang Xin sigh in relief. He looked at her and said through a Divine Sense.
"I shouldn't have let you come."
Feifei looked puzzled at her father and commented.
"Why? Did you forget about my abilities?"
Wang Xin was taken aback. Feifei talked as if she had never been in danger to start with. Xin then remembered that with her Major Core, he couldn't deny that perhaps, Feifei hadn't been in danger to start with.
Feifei, of course, was lying! Even she couldn't predict what happened, so she had really been in grave danger this time. However, if she said that, her father might never let her come out again. In the end, she had to pretend that everything had always been under control.
Feifei then put those thoughts behind her mind and was about to call Krune over. But when she looked in his direction, she felt like crying.
Krune and Lucio were once more in an argument!
She couldn't help but think about how they can find a reason to start a fight every single time. Perhaps, that's how they show their affection for each other.
"Cough, Cough. Sect Master Lucio, I need to talk with you and Krune about something."
Only then did Krune and Lucio stopped what they were doing.
"Oh, right! Old geezer, Feifei has found some interesting news, so you should hear her."
Lucio nodded and then made a cutting motion with his hand on the empty space. Suddenly, space divided itself, and a hole appeared where there was nothing before.
"Come with me back to the Sect first, we can talk there."
Feifei didn't feel surprised with that, but it was the first time Krune saw something like that. After Krune, Wang Xin, and Feifei passed through that Spatial Gate, they immediately appeared in front of the Divine Path Sect!
Krune looked at his Master like he wanted to eat him alive.
"How come you never told me you could do something like that?"
Lucio looked at Krune and said.
"Where is the fun in that?"
Krune's mouth twitched, he understood that he made an idiotic question. With a Master like this one, it was evident that he would act this way.
"I wonder if Grandmaster would take me a disciple instead of you."
Lucio only laughed after that.
"You can keep dreaming."
