Krune and the others kept waiting for Aila to give an answer. Finally, she reappeared once more and told Krune.
"Very well, but you need to let us take a look at your new Meridian after it is created. As you know, we still haven't created a 5th form for the Myriad Energies Technique, so we want to analyze it to see if we can get some ideas."
Krune asked Light Spirit, and the latter agreed that it is okay.
"Very well."
Aila nodded and reopened the Dimensional Realm for Krune.
"You can go in now. But remember, it is only 1/9 of the Halo, if it turns out that you need more, you should give up. Any bigger damage than that would make it too difficult to fix. Understood?"
Krune shook his head, though.
"I just came out, and I haven't gone through everything in my mind yet. So give me a day to rest before I try it."
Aila nodded and kept the Dimensional Realm open for him.
Krune then returned to Feifei and the others.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sorry, I might need you to stay here for a while longer. If you want to go back before me, I can ask Aila to open a Spatial Gate leading outside."
Feifei and the rest immediately shook their heads.
"We have been here for this long already, so why should we leave now? Besides, Wally's disciples are always happy to answer our questions about cultivation. For bad or for good, they are all Divinity Realm Wisps. So this was not just your good fortune, but ours as well."
Krune smiled and nodded. He then took his tools out of the Spatial Ring and started to cook once more. He had stayed in the Time Dimensional Realm for over 4 months, so he missed the taste of food a lot. The others also helped with what they could.
In these 2 years inside the Elemental Path, everyone improved even more. Especially Tiane and Ruik, who had the lowest cultivations. Because of that, their breakthroughs were a lot faster. Also, Wally's disciples deactivated the Protection Formation that prevented the cultivators and demon beasts outside from entering this Halls Place. Thanks to that, they all could go out and battle the demon beasts, golems, etc. Not to mention that they once more could gather Elemental Flowers.
The Elemental Path is closed, so no outsider would enter it.
Of course, because the Elemental Path had opened recently, there weren't many Elemental Flowers to start with. Still, this was enough to help with everyone's laws.
With the guidance of the Divinity Realm wisps and the right environment for battle and cultivation, Tiane and Ruik got to the 8th and 9th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, respectively. Ruik could even attempt to break through into the Soul Forging Realm if he wanted, but Wally's disciples asked him to not do this now. That's because the Elemental Path is enclosed, so the Tribulation Fire would not be able to come. Once he leaves, he would be targeted by it straight away. Ruik wouldn't have enough time to go to a safe place to face it.
Dilo and Xankruna took their time to gather Elemental Flowers. So they had been focused on their Laws a lot more than their cultivation. In the past two years, both of then only advanced two stages. Of course, this is low when using Krune's group standard. If they were compared to the majority outside, their cultivation is definitely faster than at least 95% of the others or more.
Feifei was one of the happiest. Her Destiny Sub-Law, Cause, reached the Advanced stage. At the same time, she finally reached the Initial Stage of the second Sub-Law, Effect. As mentioned in the past, there are only Three Destiny Sub-Laws, so one can imagine just how hard it is. As for her cultivation, she decided to take it slow. She had gone all the way up to the 4th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm because of the heavenly fragment, so she wanted to get used to her power first. Because of that, Feifei only improved a single Stage, being now in the 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm.
Krune was using most of his mind for the creation of the Chaos Meridians, so his laws didn't change much during the past two years. He also wanted to get used to his cultivation, which made him go up just a single stage like Feifei. Krune was now in the 3rd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. However, there was a Sub-Law that Krune always left one part of his mind focused on. The Purple Tribulation Laws. Thanks to that, his Flash Annihilation Law reached the Advanced stage as well.
Fie and Liriu were still in the same 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. Feifei and Tiane decided to keep them away from creating a Foundation before they got older. Not to mention that a Foundation is a personal choice, and both kids hadn't seen the world yet. Especially since they are both in the Elemental Path Realm at the moment. Feifei and Tiane wanted the two to see a lot of things before deciding on what they should use as a base.
Besides, both are very young, so their parents simply didn't want them to care about cultivation at this point. Even Feifei, as a member of the Wang Clan, was only introduced to cultivation after she became seven.
Fie could already talk pretty well thanks to her inherited intelligence from her Wisp Side. She also could control whether the wisp body effect appears or not together with her floating ability. Usually, a Qi Condensation Realm couldn't really fly without some kind of help. But thanks to Liriu's wings and Fie's Wisp Core, the two often flew around to play.
The day soon passed, and Krune finally entered the Dimensional Realm with the Time Halo.
When Krune got close to it, Light Spirit asked him.
"Connect my Tribulation Source with the Time Halo through your Elemental Meridians. You can leave the rest with me. All you need to do is to keep absorbing the Purple Tribulation Lightning Essence Power while I absorb the Time one. With my Tribulation Lightning Laws, I should be able to keep refilling what you take. Once I use 1/9 of the Halo, I'll let you know."
Krune nodded and immediately started to cultivate the Fourth Form of the Myriad Energies Technique. Of course, it wasn't exactly the same one. Krune's idea of using the Tribulation Lightning Essence to create a Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian had first appeared after he finished the Yang Chaos one. Since then, he had been revising it to see what he should change to create the new Meridian. The process didn't change much, though. The important part is that you had to have a type of essence power that hasn't been used before.
That said, Krune's two years of research bared fruit, and he finally devised a new extension of the Fourth Form of the Myriad Energies Technique.
Krune immediately started to absorb the Purple Tribulation Lightning Essence from Light Spirit's Tribulation Source. At first, Krune got surprised. Even though the Tribulation Source occupies a tiny space in his Foundation, the amount of Essence inside was definitely enormous! That was also the reason why it could generate so much more Tribulation Lightning Power than normal users of the Tribulation Lightning.
Time passed, and soon, a month went by. As Krune expected, the Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian would take a lot longer than even Time, Space, and Destiny. But Krune wasn't sad, though. That is because he confirmed that his alteration in the Fourth Form turned out to be correct. Although there were a few points where it went wrong, that was because he hadn't had the chance to try it with the real thing before. When he bumped in such situations, he wouldn't take long to find a way to fix it.
Suddenly, Krune heard Light Spirit's voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I reached the limit of what I can take from the Time Halo, let's go to the next."
Krune left the Dimensional Realm, and without greeting anyone, he flew at top speed to the next Hall. He is in the middle of his creation, so he couldn't waste time.
Now, inside the Small Dimensional Realm with the Life Halo, Light Spirit began to absorb it. At the same time, Krune did the same with the Tribulation Lightning Source.
Another month later, Krune and Light Spirit rushed to the Death Hall. This process continued. Yang Hall, Yin Hall, Space Hall, Destiny Hall, Elemental Hall... The last one was supposed to be the Blackhole Hall. However, it turned out that Krune got stuck at the Elemental Hall.
Inside the Small Dimensional Realm with the Elemental Halo, Krune was at the last step at forming his new Meridian. But something was lacking. It was as if a final piece wasn't there. He had even stopped absorbing the Tribulation Lightning Essence since he couldn't finish forming the Meridian.
"What is it?! What am I lacking?!"
Light Spirit was focused on the Halos, so he didn't pay attention to Krune's progress until now. The only one who knew everything was Heavin. Without another choice, he had to follow Krune into those Dimensional Realms where the Halos were. So he ended sharing and helping Krune to devise the new extension for the Fourth Form.
"Can't you see it?"
Krune was taken aback by that voice.
"Heavin, did you notice something?"
Heavin sighed and then said.
"It is very simple, the Chaos Meridians need the support of the Elemental meridians to work. But the tenth Chaos Meridian, or better, the Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian doesn't have anything to support its existence. Obviously, it can't finish being formed."
Krune was surprised. Not by what Heavin said, but by the fact that he had been so focused in the Chaos Meridian itself that he completely forgot such an obvious point.
"That is to say, I also need a tenth Elemental Meridian, but is it possible?"
