Chapter 219: The Sacred Lands Decisions.
Back in the All Life Sect Sacred Land, Linda Ophin finished reporting the entire issue to the Sect Master. The Sect Master just so happens to be a female as well. Her name is Tika Tarkulie, an 8th Stage Divinity Realm Demon Beast.
"I see, the situation got a little more complicated than we expected. Still, it was a lot better than if the Darkness Land had succeeded. As for how to get Feifei Heavenly Fragment, we can only send someone in that Universe to take it back. The problem is, that is the Dalin Universe, and I'm impressed by that Wang Clan 'backer.'"
At first, Tika thought to be a joke, but once she looked at the memories given by Wang Mei, she couldn't help but be careful. The Dalin Universe shown there is definitely the real one, which means that the Wang Clan probably wasn't lying. She, too, believes that the Wang Clan doesn't have the power to send someone there, and that can only mean that they have some kind of 'background.'
Linda couldn't help but ask.
"But how will we find her in that place? That is, after all, an entire universe. To find a single person in its middle is harder than a specific drop of water in the ocean."
Tika smiled and shook her Head.
"Finding her won't be too hard. There is something that you don't know since this kind of situation has rarely happened."
In the Extreme Yin Yang Palace Sacred Land, Raro was having precisely the same conversation with the Palace Master. His name was Lue Barcou, a 9th Stage Divinity Realm cultivator.
Raro couldn't help but ask.
"How come it won't be hard to find Feifei there?"
The Palace Master then said.
"Once an Advanced Major Core leaves its own Universe, it loses the 'coat' against the Destiny Energy. So it is possible to use Divination to find them. Still, considering the size of the Dalin Universe and the lack of information, it would be almost impossible to do so."
Raro once more got confused, didn't the Palace Master just say that it wouldn't be too hard to find Feifei?
Back in the Darkness Sacred Land, Hule Aforein was also confused in the same way as Raro.
"It is almost impossible to use Divination, then how come it's not too hard to find Feifei in there?"
The Darkness Land Head, Yamio Halas, then explained.
"That's because Heavenly Core Fragments can feel the presence of each other once they are outside of our Universe's Heavenly Protection. Although it rarely happened, there had been cases where an Advanced Major Core Owner fled to another Universe. As long as we send our own Advanced Major Core, he will be able to point their location."
Back in the All Life Sect once more, Linda was taken aback by that information.
"But if we send our own Advanced Major Core, won't it become the perfect chance for the other two Sacred Lands to attack?"
Tika nodded.
"Yes, but the opposite is also true. We can take this chance to take the other Heavenly Core Fragments from both the Darkness Land and Ying Yang Palace."
Linda had to admit that it was true. What they need to think now is who to send together with their own Advanced Major Core to guarantee victory.
Going back to the Extreme Ying Yang Palace, Raro Tianmu remembered something.
"But what about the fact that Feifei is in the Dalin Universe? Just how many members can we send, and what price do we need to pay for that? Wait, there is also the cultivation level issue. I doubt that they will allow anyone with cultivation too high to enter."
Lue Barcou couldn't help but sigh at this point.
"That is the issue. Considering how tight the Universes Powerhouses are controlling the Dalin Universe, any outsider entrance is extremely hard to happen. That is also why we shouldn't touch the Wang Clan for now. Just how much influence that 'backing' of theirs has to have to be able to send Feifei there without the others complaining?"
Raro understood the Palace Master's concern.
Lue Barcou pondered for a bit and then gave everyone his orders.
"Contact the Thakulo Universe. We had a few small deals with them in the past. Ask them the price to allow our members to enter and stay in the Dalin Universe. Don't mention Feifei once you do so, we still don't know the Wang Clan backer, so it is better to not catch his or her attention."
In the Darkness Land, Hule Aforein couldn't help but ask.
"But Land Head, wouldn't our pursuit of Feifei still infuriates the Wang Clan backer?"
Yamio shook his head.
"I don't think so, his favor is with the 'Wang Clan,' not Wang Feifei. It would be one thing if we decide to destroy the Wang Clan, but I refuse to believe that this person or demon beast will intervene because of a single girl. Even if he does, we have to take the risk. After all, the other two Sacred Lands will definitely do soo."
Yamio looked at his subordinates and then said.
"Get in contact with the Uline Universe, we are willing to pay the price to send our members inside."
Finally, in the All Life Sect.
Linda was put in charge of using their contact with the Galec Universe to send their own members.
"We need to be fast before the other two Sacred Lands jump ahead."
Tika heard that and then laughed.
"No need to be in a hurry. Even if they arrive first, their Advanced major Core owners won't be able to feel Feifei's presence."
Linda was surprised by that.
"But didn't you say that they can?"
Tika nodded.
"They can, but it will take time. Do you remember what I said? Once an Advanced Major Core owner enters another Universe, they lose their 'coat' against the Destiny Energy."
Linda immediately understood where the Sect Master was coming from.
"I see, even in the middle of the rain, it is not like you will get wet straight away once you remove your coat. There is a need for some time to pass before the anti-Destiny Energy effect disappears."
Tika was happy that Linda understood her meaning.
"Exactly. According to the records, it will take 5 years if fast, and up to 10 years if slow. Still, try to get them inside as soon as possible so that they can get a footing in that Universe."
But it was then that Linda got confused.
"In that case, isn't it better for us to wait 5 years before sending someone? If we do that, our own Advanced Major Core owner can hide from the other Sacred Lands since her 'coat' will still be active."
Tika smiled and didn't answer, but Linda noticed that something wasn't right with her idea just by looking at Tika's smile. Suddenly, Linda thought about something else.
"I see. That 'coat' works both ways, correct?"
Tika then laughed once more.
"Smart girl. You are right! If the 'coat' of our own Advanced Major Core owner doesn't disappear, it will be impossible to feel the presence of the other Advanced Major Core owners. That's why I said, you don't need to be in a hurry, but try to send ours inside as soon as possible."
Linda nodded and then left to do the preparations.
The same thing happened in the other two Sacred Lands.
Until now, all of them only recognized Feifei's existence. But what they didn't expect is that another Advanced Major Core was present at the moment. Krune, of course, is the variable that will change the entire outcome.
Still in the All Life Sect Sacred Land, Linda entered a palace where quite a few girls could be seen. They were all maids encharged of taking care of the Advanced Life Major Core owner. After entering a big room on the back, she found who she was looking for.
"Wamie, the situation has changed. The battle for the Heavenly Fragments is starting a lot earlier than expected."
Wamie Zark.
That is the name of the All Life Sect Advanced Major Core Owner. A female human at the 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm.
Linda then used a Divine Sense message to tell everything that happened.
"I see... Very well, I'm ready anytime. Just let me know when I should go."
Linda nodded and left right after.
In the Darkness Land, deep inside the Planet's Core, Hule Aforein appeared after using a teleport formation.
In front of him, he could see a chamber guarded by a few elders of the Darkness Land. Inside, a pitch-black Skeleton Dragon was absorbing the Spiritual Energy around for cultivation.
His name was Uer. Just like the majority of Demon Beasts, he also didn't have a family name. Uer is the Advanced Death Major Core owner, and he is in the 5th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm.
Uer noticed Hule's arrival and kept quiet.
Hule noticed that and then said.
"The Heavenly Fragments Battle is starting soon."
He did the same as Linda and gave all the information about what was decided.
"I will come back once the preparations are done, get ready."
Uer just nodded and still didn't say anything.
In the Extreme Yin Yang Palace.
Lue Barcou had personally come to inform their Advanced Major Core owner about the issue. The difference is that the Yin Yang Palace didn't have one, but two Advanced Major Core owners! As one can imagine, they were a man and a woman, and a couple on top of that. They also had the Yin and Yang Advanced Major Cores.
The Woman was called Rania Javiu and the guy Hobek Javiu.
"I believe the two of you already know what happened. So you better be ready to enter the Dalin Universe. With your combined effort, I don't believe that the other two Sacred Lands can stand a chance."
The couple smiled, and the man said.
"Don't worry, Palace Master. We will not let the Yin Yang palace down."
Rania was at the 3rd Stage of the Divine Soul Realm while Hobek was on the 5th. Still, with their abilities complementing each other, they could bring their combat power several stages higher.
Lue Barcou nodded, satisfied.
"Someone will come to fetch you two later, make sure you are ready."
With this, four Advanced Major Core owners were about to enter the Dalin Universe!
Back in the Riren Planet in the Dalin Universe.
BOOM!
Suddenly, an entire examination room of the Alchemist Organization branch came down! After the dust settled a little, the members looking at that apocalyptic scene noticed a young man with Rainbow Hair coming out of the rubbles.
That young man was obviously Krune!
Krune also noticed the others looking at him and felt quite embarrassed.
"Cough, cough. I think that the Energy Suppression Formation wasn't working properly."
