Chapter 433: Out in the Open

That day, Krune and Heavin compiled all the information about the Soul Cultivation Technique and passed it to the others. Of course, Krune and Heavin had to work on it for a few days to alter some of its properties. After all, a Divine Soul is not the same as the Normal Soul. They have their own differences that had to be accounted for. Fortunately, it didn't take long since the main issue of the technique was already resolved.

Different from Heavin, the others would need to start from the beginning, though. The reason Heavin could start from the 3rd Realm was basically that this Realm allows you to create Elemental Source Energy. Since his Divine Soul is already capable of it, he jumped the first two without a problem.

As for everyone else, they obviously couldn't do such a thing with their Main Soul, only their Divine Souls were able of such thing. However, the idea was increasing the strength of the Soul, so there was no point in using the Elemental Source Energy of their Divine Souls. Besides, their Divine Soul can't generate Mental Energy like Heavin either. Even in Krune's case, the one who could do it was Heavin, not himself.

If there is something that Krune and the others don't lack, that is Spirit Stones and other resources for cultivation. The others didn't even need Krune's help with it anymore. At their level of strength and Phillin's Teleport Formation, they can go out and do missions far above their level. This would give them higher rewards and even help with their combat and cultivation experience.

The first Realm of the Soul Cultivation Technique, Soul Qi Condensation, was passed in a flash. Each of the Soul Cultivation Realms only had five Stages. That being said, it was a lot faster to cultivate the First Realm five Stages than the ten Stages of the regular cultivation system. But that was basically the only part where it was easy.

From the Soul Foundation ahead, the difficulty level raised several times. The Foundation Establishment of the normal cultivation system seemed like kids play in front of it. When questioned, Heavin laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! Did you forget that my Soul Cultivation Technique and the standard cultivation system are not in parallel? For example, if you don't count Krune's Chaos Meridians, you should only be able to create Chaos Energy at the 6h Realm, the Void Breaking Realm. But in my Soul Cultivation System, it is already possible to do so in the 5th Realm, the Soul Control Realm. So yea, the difficulty on each Realm increases a lot more than the standard system."

They had to admit that he was right.

There was another problem, as well. While using Heavin's Soul Cultivation System, they couldn't split their minds with the Soul Splitting Technique. That means that they couldn't cultivate and comprehend laws at the same time. Hearing about that, Heavin could only laugh again.

"What did you expect? While you are cultivating using my system, your Soul will continuously change. The Soul Splitting technique uses the actual Soul and divides its focus equally. But your Soul is never entirely the same while cultivating my technique. Even though it changes very little to the point of being imperceptible in just a few days, the changes are still happening. If you want to use the Soul Splitting Technique, you will need to stop cultivating my system during that time. Only then, the Splitting Technique can make an equal share of focus."

Not too surprising, everyone's cultivation and laws comprehension speed were affected. They started to use half of the day for Heavin's Cultivation Technique and the other half for the standard system.

Time continued to pass, and another 2 years went by.

During these 2 years, the news about a possible Dracophoenix existence spread like wildfire! Both the Phoenix and Dragon clan were looking everywhere for this individual. However, considering that Laex was the one to report it, they weren't sure if it was just a joke from his side or not. They tried to contact him several times, but it looked like his communicator was always off.

Their investigation brought them to the Wisp Main World, just as Krune and Laex predicted. Unfortunately, this was a place that they couldn't enter. However, they at least confirmed that Laex is probably inside this World. The elders of the Dragon and Phoenix races then used the Dalin Universe management to enter in contact with Cinty through her communicator.

Cinty, of course, denied everything.

"Dracophoenix, what is that? Although the biggest majority here are wisps, we have a few other races with Dragon or Phoenix blood. But I've never heard about a Dracophoenix."

The elder didn't know if she was lying or not, so they had to explain from the start.

"Such a thing happened? It's the first time I hear about something like that. How does a Draconphoenix look like?"

The elders of the Dragon and Phoenix Races were taken aback by that question. That is right! How does a Dracophoenix look like? It is impossible to tell. That is because Dragons and Pronix are quite different races. So the few hybrid offsprings of both Dragon and Phoenix in the past always had different appearances. There is no doubt that this new one, if he exists at all, would also be different.

"I see... In that case, why don't a few of you come here to the Wisp Main Planet and check it? This Dracophoenix or whatever can suppress both your bloodlines, right? As long as you can feel it, you will know that he is the one."

The Dragon and Phoenix Clan were taken aback once more. They didn't expect that Cinty would agree that easily.

"Why the surprised expressions? Didn't you say that this Dracophoenix might causa a calamity for all Universes? I want to at least help with it. You all know what the situation of my Wisp Race is at the moment. The last thing I want is to be related to this issue and give you one more reason to want to get rid of us."

Of course, Krune and the others already knew that it would happen. So they decided to let the two Races do that from the very start. Also, they would not hide Liriu, but leave him out in the open. Krune wanted to see if his Seal was powerful enough to completely conceal Liriu's Dracophoenix bloodline. As long as Liriu is in the Wisp Main World, no one would be able to attack him, after all. So this was the best place to try it.

As for Laex, he took Phillin's teleport formation and went somewhere else.

Of course, the elders of the Dragon and Phoenix Clan are not idiots. They knew that the Dracophoenix and Laex would probably not be in the Wisp Main World anymore. But they didn't have any other clue, so they had to go there anyway.

Krune ended being the one who attended them. It is already no secret anymore that he is a Major Divine Soul Wisp, so they expected him to be the next Wisp King once Cinty passes away. Krune being the one to show them around, was just right and proper.

As for Cinty, he just said that due to her being close to the end of her lifespan, she wasn't in the condition of seeing them at the moment. Whether it was true or not mattered little, though.

The elder then made Krune a few questions about Laex.

"Yes, I employed him for a few years to work as my bodyguard. Our contract was over around 3 years ago, though. So I don't know where he went after that."

Krune then brought the elders to see each and every resident of the Wisp Main World that had a Dragon or Phoenix bloodline. At some point, he coincidently passed by Liriu, Tian, and Ruik. It would be a lie if Liriu didn't catch their attention. Still, that was not because of his bloodline, but because he is a hybrid. Everyone knows that Hybrids are hard to be conceived, so it wasn't something you see every day. In the end, they just looked at him for a second and kept following Krune to the next guy.

Seeing that, Krune, Ruik, and Tiane sighed in relief. It seemed like the Seal in Liriu's bloodline was working fine.

Those elders also used their Divine Sense to check the planet while they were at it, but they could only see what Krune already showed them. Finally, their search ended fruitlessly, and they left.

After seeing their departure, Krune felt a weight being lifted off his shoulders.

"Liriu should be fine for now."
