Chapter 284: Or So Everyone Thinks.

At first, the group was expecting to find some treasures or high-level cultivation resources. But the further in they went, the more depressed they become.

Marshine couldn't take it anymore and complained.

"What is happening here? Everything is empty! Let alone treasures, we haven't found a single Spirit Stone!"

Tinnian looked at her and said.

"Stop with it. Even if we don't find anything at all, the Elemental Flowers from outside are already more than enough for this exploration. We got more Elemental Flowers than any other group would take in several entries."

Krune agreed with Tinnian.

"He is right. Those elemental flowers are going to help a lot with my comprehension of Laws. If the information available about them isn't wrong, I'm confident in being able to reach culmination with at least one sub-law of each Element."

Feifei added.

"As for me, those Elemental Flowers with Destiny Energy are a great treasure. There is almost nothing in this Universe that can help me understand Destiny Laws, so I have nothing to complain about already."

The building had several floors going into the earth, and each one was bigger than the last. At some point, they noticed the temperature increasing, but it wasn't something that could bother cultivators at their level.

Unfortunately for them, the further they went, the hotter it became. Once Krune's group reached the 43rd floor, even their Spiritual Energy protection wasn't able to keep the heat out anymore.

"This is bad. How many floors does this thing have?"

No one knew, but they couldn't simply give up now that they arrived so far.

"Let's do like this. We will press forward until we reach the 50th floor. If we don't find anything by then, we will turn back and look for some other building."

No one was against the plan. After all, they really didn't any so-called treasure so far.

Finally, when they arrived at the 49th floor, they found something. It was some kind of red crystal. In fact, the entire floor was full of it.

"What are those things?"

Krune got close and broke a piece of it with his Spiritual Energy. He examined it for a moment and then said.

"It's the same sensation as the Elemental Flowers. The only difference is that it only has one element inside, which is obviously fire. The difference is that the concentration is several times higher. Anyone using this thing to practice Fire Laws would definitely feel delighted."

For a moment, everyone felt excited. Those crystals would definitely be worth a fortune! But soon, they noticed a problem.

"These crystals can't enter the Spatial Rings!"

Everyone tried as well, and sure enough, they simply didn't enter the spatial rings at all.

Krune pondered a bit and then said.

"As I said, the concentration of Fire Element inside this thing is enormous. Maybe this is what is impeding the crystals from entering the Spatial Rings. Simply put, our spatial rings are not of a higher enough grade."

Krune looked at everyone and then said.

"My Spatial Ring is a Silver Stars one."

"Mine too."

"And Mine."

It turned out that no one here had a Spatial Ring of a higher grade than Silver Stars. Even Feifei didn't have it. It's not that the Wang Clan couldn't give her a higher grade one. It's just that usually, no one really needed a Spatial Ring above the Silver Stars Grade.

While they were thinking about how to deal with this issue, Feifei called everyone's attention.

"Hey, there is a big door at the end of this floor."

Krune's group then gathered in front of it and could see another panel with a seal on it. But this time, the seal looked different from the previous two.

Rarol didn't care and once more touched the seal. Immediately after, the projection of a woman appeared in front of them.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at everyone in front of her. To be more specific, she looked at Krune and Feifei.

"I see, a Myriad Energies Technique user has finally appeared. You really took your time to come, didn't you?"

Krune and Feifei were taken aback. How did she know that they were using the Myriad Energies Technique?

Marshine couldn't help but think.

'I did use the Myriad Energies Technique in the past when I started cultivating to open my meridians, but what does it have to do with anything? I have given it up after I got enough of my own meridians opened.'

Filio also thought the same thing.

'I used this technique at the start. Could it be that there is something else to it? Why the name of such a common technique would appear here?'

The woman looked at those two and snorted, she totally understood what they were thinking.

"I'm not talking about idiots like you who only know the first form of the technique. I'm talking with that girl and the thing inside of the purple lightning ball who have cultivated it to the third form."

Krune and Feifei immediately understood what she meant with the third form.

The first form was the pseudo meridians. This is something that everyone knew about. With the exception of Krune and those who he passed his improved technique, everyone else only knew about the First Form.

The second form was obviously the Spiritual Energy Meridians. Krune used it for a long time since he didn't have enough Spirit Stones to create all Nine Meridians straight away.

The third form could only be the Elemental Meridians. They are the evolution of the Spiritual Energy ones. Once Nine Spiritual Energy Meridians are successfully formed, they will automatically change into the following form, which is the Elemental ones.

Krune then silently asked Luvile.

"Light Spirit, I can understand Feifei's case. But why can she tell that I have the Elemental Meridians while I'm inside the Tribulation Layer?"

Light Spirit laughed and said.

"What else could it be? Did you forget what you use to absorb the power of the Tribulation Lightning from your Core?"

Krune finally understood.

"I see, she can't feel my presence, but the presence of the Elemental Meridians from where the Tribulation Lightning is passing through."

Krune stepped forward and told the others.

"Let me deal with it first, I will answer your questions later."

He then turned to the woman in the projection and asked.

"How do you know about the other forms of the Myriad Energies Technique?"

The woman looked surprised and answered Krune's question with another one.

"Wait, wasn't it Wally who sent you here?"

"No, I got to know this place due to a Mission from the Mission Hall. Otherwise, I would have never come in the first place. I did hear about Wally, though."

The woman then started murmuring.

"Could it be that it is still not time? No, Wally wouldn't have passed his Myriad Energies Technique Second Form and above to someone else if that was not the case. The first stage of the plan was for the First Form to be spread only."

Krune heard that and then added.

"I did not get the Second Form from anyone. I created it by myself using the first form as a base. As for the third form, it was an automatic thing. I didn't have to do anything else for it to happen."

After hearing that, the woman looked at Krune as is she had seen a ghost.

"You... created it by yourself? Hehe... HAHAHAHA! What a joke! Do you have any idea how long we took to piece the parts together to create the second and third form? You are telling me that you devised the second form by having the first one alone? Sure, I will pretend that I believe."

Kruen got angry and replied.

"This is the truth, and I can sign a blood contract to prove."

The woman was taken aback.

"A blood contract? But those things only work on Core Formation Realm and below."

Krune agreed with her.

"I'm a 9th stage Core Formation Realm Demon Beast at the moment."

Krune then expanded his Tribulation Lightning Layer until it covered him and the woman. Since she was also inside, she could now see Krune's realm form and feel his realm. Krune also made sure that no sound would come outside.

"A Core Formation Realm Wisp, and one with the Elemental Major Core. Now that's what I call a coincidence. Wally just so happened to be an Elemental Major Core as well. The only difference is that he was a Special Type one that could become a Heavenly Core. In fact, he did become one, though."

Krune agreed with her.

"I know, I have been to the wisp world and heard about his story."

Krune then brought a blood contract from his spatial ring and was just about to start writing when the woman stopped him.

"There is no need, I believe you."

Krune didn't mind and put the blood contract away.

"So, who are you? How come you know about the Myriad Energies Technique next forms?"

The woman smiled and said.

"My name is Karine, one of Wally's nine disciples. Just like you, a wisp."

Krune immediately blurted out.

"Impossible! Wally's nine disciples died before the Myriad Energies Technique was created. There is no way you can know about the existence of the Myriad Energies Technique."

The woman laughed and said.

"Or so everyone thinks. Hahaha!"
