Is that a Wisp?

Krune and Feifei didn't wait to return to the Luvile Universe. Krune simply used his Purple Tribulation Lightning to cover themselves from Spiritual Senses and headed straight back to the Luvile Universe. After all, if the real one appeared, she would pass through the same process as Krune. Everyone at the Divinity Realm would notice the birth of a new Heavenly Core, just like what happened to Krune.

After they headed back, Feifei took the two fragments out to try absorbing them. The first one turned out to be a Yin Heavenly Fragment, which she already had. Fortunately, she lucked out in the second one as it was the Time Heavenly Fragment she sorely needed. Feifei's cracked core turned into a liquid together with the Time Heavenly Fragment before fusing together not long after.

All the laws of the Luvile Universe also rushed into Feifei as a new Heavenly Core Owner appeared. Naturally, all the Sacred Lands' leaders grimaced at that event, afraid that Krune and Feifei would now try to take control over the Luvile Universe. Well, Krune and Feifei had no interest in that. At most, the Divine Path Sect might reach the same size and importance as the three Sacred Lands, but it won't substitute their places.

Feifei soon finished her absorption and understood how Krune felt when he completed his Heavenly Core. She never felt the laws to be so easy to control as it was now. Other than that, her cultivation also went up a stage, now being in the 5th Stage of the Divinity Realm.

With that, Krune and Feifei's journey to find Heavenly Fragments was finally over. From now on, they would focus on their cultivation until they reached the peak of the Divinity Realm. Once they do so, only then would they go after Luvile's body, the key in the Lokrathos Universe, and make a trip to the Luvile Universe's underworld.

Knowing that, Lucio decided to ask.

"So, what do you intend to do until then other than cultivating?"

Krune and Feifei pondered for a bit. Surprisingly, Feifei was the first one to answer.

"In my case, I'll focus on formations so I can reach the peak of the Divinity Stars level. Krune brought a lot of materials used in formations from the Godly Path Realm, so I want to have the ability to use them. I'll have to thank Iem once we ascend as well."

Krune answered soon after her.

"For both me and Feifei, it would be better if we go back to Dalin, where the cultivation environment is better. Other than that, I will bring Lia and Trata with me as well. After all, I need someone to become the next Sect Master, and she's quite a good choice. Perhaps it's because she had been a mountain for a very long time, and that's why she has a very calm spirit. That's an excellent trait for a Sect Leader."

Lucio could not help but agree with Krune. He had heard about his idea a long time ago. In fact, Lucio had known Lia for far longer than Krune since it was Ao who brought her to the Divine Path Sect. Krune was still in the Godly Path Realm when she appeared for the first time in Lucio's case.

"That's good. I would like to go to Dalin with you to use the Godly Energy in the Wisp World. However, I have to take care of the sect during this tumultuous moment. Dalin is being retaken, so there are many issues right now since we were supposed to have the ability to go there."

Krune bitterly smiled. That's something that couldn't be helped. If he followed through with his initial plans with Little Arty, the Luvile Universe would lose access to Dalin. In the end, he opted to help Little Arty.

"Sorry, Master."

*Bang!*

Suddenly, Lucio kicked Krune's butt. Krune wasn't expecting that action, so he was caught off guard.

"Old Geezer, is that how you should accept my apology?"

Lucio didn't care as he replied.

"Shut up! Hearing you say sorry gives me goosebumps."

Krune's mouth twitched as he said.

"I take back what I said. I hope you suffer a lot during this Dalin issue."

Lucio nodded as he said.

"Yep. That's a lot more like you, you idiotic disciple."

Krune was taken aback for a second before sighing.

"Whatever. I'll let you go this time since I'm in a good mood."

Feifei couldn't help but giggle a little as she thought.

'Those two really love each other... in their own way.'

It was then that Feifei thought about something else.

"Oh, right. Ask the others and see if they don't want to come to Dalin for a while as well. It will be much better for them to cultivate there while we're still in the Mortal Realm."

Krune pondered for a bit and nodded.

"That sounds like a good idea."

And so, on that day, Krune called out Ao, Yusa, Shinja, Lakin, and everyone else. After hearing his offer, some decided to go, while others decided to stay. There was only one guy who wanted to go but was denied.

"Ruik, you go back to work."

"Then, why the hell did you ask?!"

"I didn't ask you. You came together because Liriu came as well."

"Sigh..."

Ruik accepted his working fate as he dropped his head, much to Tiane, Liriu, and everyone else's amusement.

Liriu then looked at Krune before saying.

"Thank you, Uncle Krune. But I think I'll stay behind with my parents. Chances are that I will ascend way earlier than them, so I want to spend more time with them."

Krune didn't see anything wrong with that.

"Not a problem at all. How about the rest?"

Other than Liriu, Ruik, and Tiane, only Lakin and Cassy decided to stay. Lakin was already used to taking care of the wisps, and he still felt concerned to leave everything in Ruik's hands... with a good reason at that. Krune nodded and couldn't help but smile as he looked at the baby girl in Cassy's arms. Her name was Miuna.

Sure enough, a wisp couple didn't have any issues having their own kid. The impressive thing that no one expected was that Cassy's baby was already born in human form. She could switch between the two forms anytime she wanted, but she ultimately stayed in her human form.

The wisp race was a weird race to start with. Before reaching the Foundation Establishment and gaining their human form, they were basically a floating core of energy. They couldn't reproduce, nor did they have a gender to start with. Krune, Lakin, and Cassy thought that the reason Miuna was already in her human form was that Cassy had to keep her human form during pregnancy as well.

Fortunately, they had a lot more examples available because of the Myriad Wisps Technique. Any wisp couple's child that appeared during Lakin's government turned out to be the same. All their wisp kids were born already with genders and were capable of turning into their human and wisp forms at will. They were not limited by their cultivation like Krune, Lakin, and Cassy were.

Of course, they also thought that the Myriad Wisps Technique might have something to do with it but weren't sure. The reason was that there was a huge difference between the Myriad Wisps and Myriad Energies Technique when it came to reproduction. A baby born from parents with the Myriad Energies Technique would already have the Elemental Meridians right from the start. Fie, Liriu, Ewan, and now Miuna were perfect examples of it. However, newborn wisps from a wisp couple with the Myriad Wisps Technique didn't have any Spiritual or Element Meridians at all.

Well, the most important thing was that they could reproduce, so that was fine. That will just simply be one more weird thing about this weird race called wisps.

"Alright. Those who want to come have a week to prepare. Remember that once we go to Dalin, we will stay there for a very long time. My plans are to only leave Dalin Universe after I have reached the Peak of the Divinity Realm together with Feifei."

Krune then looked at Lia and Trata before calling them out.

"You two, come with me. As for the rest, I'll see you in a week's time."

Krune then went to a different room with Lia and Trata. Feifei and Lucio were also there, so they followed since they knew what it was about.

Lia then bowed to Krune. They had met before a few times, but their interactions were quite limited, so she was quite reserved towards him. After all, Krune was already considered a legend in the Luvile Universe, especially in the Divine Path Sect's territory.

"Is there something you need from me?"

Krune smiled as he nodded.

"I heard a lot of you from Ao, Ula, and from my Master here. I'll be straight with you. I was supposed to be the next Sect Master of the Divine Path Realm when my Master retired. However, my cultivation is progressing a bit too quickly, so I will probably ascend before he does. That being said, I need to find a successor for the position, and I was thinking that you were a good fit for it."

Lia and Trata were taken aback. That was the first time they heard about it.

"This... Is that really okay? I mean, we barely know each other. Besides, I've never been in a position of leadership before. I spent most of my time cultivating with Trata and traveling around."

Lia looked at Trata, but he refrained from commenting since this was really not his decision.

"It's all up to you. I'll be there with you anyway."

Krune smiled and continued.

"Don't worry. I trust Ao's judgment. To give you some extra help, I will also give you the extra Ownerless Heavenly Fragments we've obtained."

Lia understood that she had to make a somewhat difficult decision.
