Chapter 885: Anticipation

Krune eventually exited the dome-shaped chamber as he placed a lot of materials on the ground, basically emptying his entire reserve of materials. What he was planning to do right now was more or less a massive project, the likes of which he hadn't attempted in the God Realm yet.

Little Krune inhabited a Pseudo-Wisp, taking control of its body as it moved alongside Krune. Both of them stood before the large pile of materials, beginning to process them immediately. The other 99 Pseudo-Wisps were still in the dome-shaped chamber, still immersed in cultivation.

They were still able to cultivate for some more time. After all, Krune and Little Krune were already in the Seventh Stage God Foundation Realm. As for them, the quality of energy inside them only conformed to the Fifth Stage of the God Foundation Realm.

That difference in cultivation was due to the fact that they cultivated passively. As for Krune, he was actively siphoning the Godly Energy into him. This naturally increased his speed of cultivation. On top of that, he also made use of the vortex generated by opening his subspace to force him to absorb more Godly Energy, increasing his cultivation speed even further.

Then again, as both he and Little Krune were cultivating simultaneously, the suction force they generated against the Godly Energy caused a massive funnel in the area that the Godly Energy was unable to prevent itself from gushing in like a torrent.

Moreover, the Pseudo-Wisps were just sacks of energy. They didn't possess a cultivation base to regulate the energy stored in their bodies. This, in turn, reduced their cultivation speed.

This was why, despite cultivating together, the cultivation bases of Krune and Little Krune increased faster than the Pseudo-Wisps.

Krune took a hammer he had forged in the past as he began to process the materials. Since the Mind Splitting Technique was activated, he was able to use one hand to generate flames to process the materials while he used the other to work with them.

"Hmm..." He frowned as he looked at the results of his work, feeling that the amount of work he could do at the moment was far less than he had expected. With that, six Pseudo-Wisps left the chamber before taking on a human form. To ensure they wouldn't look off, Krune changed their body structures a little, assuming varying ages and gender.

After that, Little Krune split itself into seven fragments and burrowed into each Pseudo-Wisp, now controlling seven clones in total. With its cultivation base at the Seventh Stage God Foundation Realm, it was able to fragment itself into seven.

Unsurprisingly, the work efficiency increased. Krune was working on processing the materials using brute force while the clones controlled the flames. Unlike before, they didn't use normal flames.

The clones activated different laws, changing the inherent color of the flames as their properties continued to change with time. They did the changes according to the material being processed. This way, the efficiency of production was higher while ensuring higher quality output.

Each material had a respective use in the overall picture, so Krune was careful in his creation. Even though he had excess materials to use, failure would cause him to run out of them. He didn't have enough for a second attempt. With that, Krune had to tread with caution and care.

Krune condensed a bowl using some of the materials he had processed, putting the molten substance of another material inside it. This way, it was stored perfectly without being damaged. One of the clones constantly emitted heat that would maintain its molten state.

It took four days before they finished processing all the materials and removing all the impurities inside them. At this moment, three clones were activating all sorts of laws as they maintained the conditions of the molten materials.

Not once did they rest in the entire duration, always being in a state of tension as their minds constantly whirred, double-checking over all the details that were necessary to create what they wished to make.

They were constantly butting heads, canceling their previous thought process upon hitting a dead-end before brainstorming a new idea. Unfortunately, a lot of materials were wasted due to this, but there was nothing to be done about that. This was Krune's first time doing something like this.

What he wished to create was a simple teleportation formation. It was the same as the ones available in the cities. But, what he wished to achieve had a few differences.

A normal teleportation formation could be accessed as long as someone knew of its coordinates. It was the same as how Cultivator was able to send the bag of Rank Four God Stones to the Sunkan City Lord directly upon knowing the latter's coordinates.

So, possessing a teleportation formation had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages consisted of the fact that one was able to transport goods over massive distances instantly. Moreover, with advanced teleportation formations, they were even capable of transporting powerful cultivators.

Then again, it was also a disadvantage. Suppose someone had enmity towards the Sunkan City Lord. With that in mind, as long he knew of the other party's coordinates, he could activate the teleportation formation on his side and emerge from the Sunkan City Lord's. This would give him a perfect chance to initiate a sneak attack.

That was why all the teleportation formations were closely guarded by a group of cultivators. Nevertheless, the root cause of the risk remained. Possessing something like that was tantamount to suicide for someone like Krune.

Even though he hadn't been able to sense Little Cally lately, possessing such a teleportation formation would give it the perfect recipe to make his life a living hell. Random people would pop out of it from time to time and make his life more miserable than ever before.

It was incredibly simple for Little Cally to take advantage out of something like this. That was why Krune changed the entire design. Of course, he wasn't ignorant about the spatial laws. He had seen them at work before.

Heck, even when he came to the God Realm, that was how his wife and friends escaped...well, moved out to different places on the God Realm.

Not to mention that once he obtained his Spiritual Incarnation, he witnessed the tiny teleportation formation used by Cultivator. This gave him valuable referential data. Using that and building upon his insight into developing his subspace, Krune had formulated an idea of his own teleportation formation.

Compared to other teleportation formations, he wanted his teleportation formation to be exclusive to him alone. It would only function between two points and would never be accessed by a foreign teleportation formation. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about a third party barging in on him at unexpected times.

Nevertheless, activating any teleportation formation required a tremendous amount of Godly Energy, not to mention that it needed to be charged for a certain duration before it could be activated. On top of that, the greater the distance, the greater the amount of Godly Energy for the teleport to happen.

Thankfully, he had a means of convenience right below him—the energy-gathering formation. That was why Krune decided to build a teleportation formation in the first place.

Once they finished processing all the materials, Krune and three clones worked as a team while the remaining four clones worked as another team. The two teams simultaneously began to create a platform respectively, arranging all the materials into it as they forged it. They worked in sync and kept both the platforms synchronized from the start.

Teleportation would only be done from one platform to another and vice-versa, nothing more and nothing less. Krune was slightly in a hurry, intending to finish this before Cultivator returned. He didn't wish to show his secrets to the other party just yet.

There was also the fact that he still needed time to test some things and work them out before giving it the finishing touch. As they were constantly working, they were running out of Godly Energy. Thankfully for them, they had a lot of energy to use that also recovered their physical and mental states to optimal levels.

Whenever Krune or a clone was close to running out of Godly Energy, a Pseudo-Wisp would come out and be absorbed into them. This way, their Godly Energy would recover to the peak. Krune would then cause the Land Incarnation he unleashed below to create another Pseudo Wisp. It would then start cultivating from scratch once again.

This was something he realized. His Land Incarnation was a part of him. But since they were a congregation of laws, as long as such laws existed in the God Realm, Krune could use such laws as a medium to control his Land Incarnation. Of course, the control was limited compared to him being inside the Land Incarnation directly.

So, irrespective of the distance between them, he would still be able to sense his Land Incarnation. Well, this wasn't unique to him alone. Every cultivator with a Spiritual Incarnation was capable of this. Fortunately, as the number of laws making up his Spiritual Incarnation consisted of all the laws in God Realm, Krune would be able to sense his Land Incarnations clearly from any part of the God Realm.

Six more days later, Krune nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the two teleportation formations before him. One of the clones transformed into a Zenith Plugger before carrying a teleportation formation on its back and running away.

Krune placed the other teleportation formation in the dome-shaped chamber, activating it as a Pseudo-Wisp entered it, appearing on the formation platform carried by the Zenith Plugger. It then returned as a clone took the next trip, noticing that there were no problems with the teleportation formation.

As the Zenith Plugger continue to run, Krune noticed the energy being sucked by the teleportation continued to steadily increase.

'It's...good enough.' He nodded in satisfaction. Thanks to their shared thoughts, the Zenith Plugger turned around and began to return. When it arrived, Krune carried the teleportation formation into the dome-shaped chamber, placing both side-by-side.

As he didn't wish to transfer too many people at a single time, and since he was constrained by the materials, Krune didn't make the teleportation formations too big. Each one was cylindrical in shape, possessing a height of one meter while occupying a two-meter radius.

'I can barely stuff it in my subspace.' Krune thought to himself with a smile, maximizing the use of his choices. He then created a portal, one that was wide enough to show the entirety of the subspace outside.

His subspace was four meters long on all sides. So, the teleportation formation occupied one-fourth of the space inside. It was also heavy to boot, but thankfully, he had a lot of manpower to spare.

The Pseudo-Wisps carried the teleportation formation into his subspace, carefully aligning it in the center. There was barely any gap between it and the boundary of the subspace.

The boundary was like a thick bubble that couldn't be broken down easily, condensed by the laws that formed its structural makeup.

Once it was placed, Krune adjusted the other teleportation formation at the center of the dome-shaped chamber, taking in a deep breath as his heart thumped in anticipation, muttering, "Please work."
