Chapter 436: Stellar Needle

Once the elder in the Higher Realm finished hearing everything, his eyes narrowed.

"Very well, wait a minute."

Suddenly, a fissure on space appeared right beside him. Surprisingly, he could see someone else on the other side. It was totally different from the Spatial Gates opened in the Lower Realms. It was opened so easily that if the elder wasn't alone in the room, one might think that it wasn't him who did that.

On the other side, he could see another cultivator who seemed to be playing with a formation. The guy noticed the elder's presence and spoke.

"Malai, uh? What is it?"

That was the name of the elder who talked with the Dalin Universe. He bowed and then explained everything to that person.

"I see... After so many Chaos Cycles, a wisp finally entered the Divine Path Realm once more. They said it was only one, right?"

Malai immediately nodded.

The cultivator playing with Formation stopped what he was doing and said.

"If it is only one, then we are fine. It took too long for one extra wisp to appear, so there is nothing to worry about. But just to be sure, send it to the lower realms. This should be enough to get rid of that Wisp Queen. I doubt Wally will start a revolt just because of a single wisp, either."

Suddenly, something that looked like a big needle appeared on the cultivator's hand and passed through the fissure in space.

Seeing that needle, Malai narrowed his eyes. Not because it was something incredible, but because it was an item. It is one thing for Malai to send a message down, but an item would be quite tricky. After all, if the Higher Realms could keep sending items without any issues, the balance of the Lower Realms would be deeply disrupted.

Noticing Malai's expression, that cultivator asked.

"Is there a problem?"

Malia sighed and shook his head.

"No. I'll send it right now."

That fissure in space closed, and Malai looked at that needle in his hand.

"Sigh... It will take quite some time to recover from this."

Back in the Dalin Universe, another fissure in space appeared. All the Leaders and Representatives couldn't help but feel alarmed by that. This place is protected by a Formation that impedes Spatial Gates from being open. The only exception was for the Formation that was used to contact the Higher Realms. Since another Spatial Gate appeared, it can only mean that the Higher Realms were responsible for it.

From inside the fissure, a needle-like object came out. Once again, everyone in the room was affected by the energy from the Higher Realm. But soon, that fissure disappeared, stopping the leakage of that energy. The needle fell on the ground, catching everyone's attention.

Right after, the voice from the elder, Malai, appeared once more. Of course, he was using the Contact Formation from before to do it. It's just that this time, he seemed to have a very feeble voice. It was evident to everyone that he seemed to be very tired.

"Use this Stelar Needle to target that Wisp Queen you talked about. There shouldn't be anything capable of stopping it once a target is selected. At least, not in the Lower Realms. Unless Wally is paying attention and intervenes himself, she will not survive."

The Elder of the Dragon Race quickly asked.

"How do we activate it?"

"Just have someone who felt her aura in the past control it. The Stelar Needle will be able to target the owner of that aura. After that, charge it with as much Divinity Realm Energy as possible. You will probably need 30 or so Divinity Realm Cultivators or Demon Beasts to fulfill it. Once it is charged, have the guy who controls it chant the spell imbued in the needle, and it will activate. He will understand what to do once he touches it."

Immediately, everyone remembered Qyzzei, who wasn't present at the moment.

The Dragon Clan elder immediately agreed with it.

"Very good. That's all for now, make sure to finish it quickly."

The Formation then deactivated, and the Flash of Light piercing through space disappeared.

Immediately after, the Dragon Clan Elder called Qyzzei over. Although Qyzzei was still recovering in another room, they couldn't wait. This was an order coming from above, so they had to have it finished as soon as possible.

While everyone discussed, Olave noticed that Poliare retreated to a corner. He didn't say anything, nor tried to stop him. In fact, he even covered for Poliare so that no one would notice his absence.

Back in the Wisp Main World, Krune was practicing alchemy when suddenly, his communicator flashed. Looking at that, Krune noticed that it had an ID that he had never seen before.

Krune then connected it, but no image appeared. It was only a voice transmission.

"Who is it?"

The voice didn't answer his question. Instead, it only left a single message.

"The Dalin Universe management already knows that Cinty is at the Divine Path Realm. They contacted the Higher Realms to discuss this issue and just got a treasure that will be able to kill her straight away. I have no way to help you stop it, so I'm calling to tell you what is gonna happen. Whatever comes after that is up to you."

Krune was taken aback by that. If not for the fact that Cinty's cultivation Realm was a secret, he would think that this guy is fooling him. The voice on the other side went silent for a few seconds before saying.

"Also, thanks for the Purple Flame Life Dew Pill, with this, I paid my debt with you."

The call ended right after that.

Krune had tried to ask other things, but the guy didn't say anything. Only telling what he wanted.

Still, Krune understood that he was running against time. He immediately opened a Spatial Gate while he talked with Luvile.

"Light Spirit, do you have any idea of what they can use to attack Cinty in the Wisp main World?"

Light Spirit pondered a bit and then said.

"This place is protected by Wally. For the Higher Realms to be this sure of their success, they are definitely using a God Level treasure. Also, you know that there is a limit to the level of equipment one can use with their Soul Power. That being said, this treasure already received a command. The one operating it will only give information about the target. Most likely, it is Cinty's aura."

"But if the guy is right and they just got this treasure, they will need quite a few Divinity Realm Cultivators or Demon Beasts to charge it with enough energy. I believe that she won't be targeted straight away."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"How long do you think we have? Also, is there a way to stop it?"

Light Spirit pondered a bit and said.

"If I'm not wrong, it will take at least one hour if they already have all the necessary cultivators and demon beasts."

Light Spirit's voice then turned grave and said.

"As for how to stop something at that level, we only have one chance."
