Is that a Wisp?

"There were a few reasons urged you to join me, Guria," Rumria told her. "First of all, once I found out that our three continents would merge to become a supercontinent, I came to a startling realization."

"Only a God can rule over a supercontinent. Otherwise, foreign forces would invade our lands and occupy us. However, none of our three continents' Primal Gods have that capability.”" She snorted. "They've been alive for tens of thousands of years but haven't even managed to reach the Ninth Stage of the Primal God Realm yet. Their hope of becoming a God is pretty much nil at this point.”

"In contrast to that, Mountain Sect has Sterlena, someone who had attempted to become a God once and survived a tribulation that was strong enough to kill a God. With that experience, she's bound to succeed this time. Not to mention there's Feifei, possessor of the Spiritual Incarnation that a legend among Primal Gods possessed, capable of perfecting any Godly Ability, formation, and even improving Spiritual Incarnations."

"She's peak treasure that would be adored in any sect, no matter where she goes," Rumria continued. "Then there's Zamura, someone that managed to protect us against the attacks from all the powerhouses. And he's only at the God Trial Realm."

"Following that is the Seamstress. She hasn't done anything much these days, but she's terrifying,”" Rumria said solemnly. "Irrespective of what that cultivator had been, she's able to brainwash them into serving her wholeheartedly. And most of all, she's even able to upgrade their strength without damaging their personality."

"You see the pattern here?" Rumria smirked, glancing at Zamuria once before saying, "There's also the two creatures called Gegrafikan and Tina. You've seen how those Primal Gods lost control of their emotions upon learning his true identity."

"Yes, never thought I would see Spirit Aberrant.”" Guria sighed. "And it's scary to think that he's overcome his racial limitation. That means he could straight up swallow everyone in his path and become the strongest cultivator to ever walk the God Realm."

"Indeed." Rumria nodded in agreement. "And I've also found out about the fact that Tina could materialize God Stones out of thin air. Honestly, it is frightening that all of this is happening in this sect. That's why I am sure that the Mountain Sect is worthy of leading the three continents."

"Indeed, you're right about that." Guria sighed, "And finally, the mysterious ability that Krune used to heal us immediately without any problem. That scares me."

"That's the Mountain Sect's foundation. This is why we have to join here. That's the only way to become strong and protect our homes in the future,” Rumria said before facing Zamuria, "Now, show us everything related to body cultivation. Once I've obtained the proper mode for it, we'll fight for real and see who's the stronger one."

"I'm ready to fight anytime you want," Zamuria smirked.

"I always feel like the third wheel here,” Guria mumbled before joining the other two as they went around the Mountain Sect, learning the ropes and finding out the various things the sect had to offer.

Upon seeing the two Cultivation Lotuses, Rumria and Guria gazed at one another, realizing that the Mountain Sect had a robust foundation. Just from the density of Godly Energy circulating within the Mountain Sect Sub-Realm spoke volumes about it.

This was not to mention the rich herbs and precious minerals that popped out everywhere like grass, alarming the duo.

"There's just not enough people to use these resources. So, they have begun to pile up like this," Zamuria said in worry. "Even after we've posted disciples to take care of these things, there are just too many things growing around and not enough hands to harvest them."

Guria and Rumria made eye contact, retorting, "That's such bountiful thing to worry about."

Soon, they reached a special building in the Mountain Sect as Zamuria led them inside. "This here is our cultivation wonder—Spiritual Marks!"

"Spiritual Marks? What are those?" Guria asked in confusion.

"Spiritual Marks are concepts that are engraved into one's soul. It could be taken as something you're born with, even if you were to die and reincarnate. You'll always possess this Spiritual Mark," Zamuria said.

"Something innate to oneself, imbued in the soul.." Guria muttered in shock. "You mean... this is something we could obtain?"

"Yes, this is possible. After becoming an immortal, Feifei is able to perfectly create various Spiritual Marks," Zamuria said, smiling with a tone of slight boasting. "Most obtain Spiritual Marks for powers that they aren't suitable to cultivate or can never attain.”

"The best example is Krune whose Spiritual Mark unleashes the power of Tribulation Lightning."

"Tribulation Lightning! So, that's how he's able to wield it." Rumria nodded, eyes widened as even she was unable to control her desire. "Spiritual Marks, such a nice thing they are."

"Then, can I also obtain the Tribulation Lightning Spiritual Mark?" Guria asked.

"Unfortunately, no. It's impossible to create that, even for Feifei. Plus, even if she did, the moment we obtain it, the God of Tribulations would destroy us because no cultivator should ever possess or control tribulation lightning,"” Zamuria replied.

"Then, how come Krune's using it wantonly? I don't see him being targeted by anyone," Guria asked, unable to understand why the logic is so messed up here.

"Well... we can only say that Krune and the God of Tribulations share a.. mysterious relationship."” Zamuria coughed. "As to what exactly that is, I don't know either. My son and Feifei know that, though. So, if you're interested, you can ask them."

"I'll pass. I still have to break through a lot of times." Both Guria and Rumria laughed awkwardly before letting go of the matter.

They then looked through the long list of Spiritual Marks that were available and the contribution points necessary to exchange for them. The two of them were already aware of what they needed to do to earn contribution points.

Upon seeing how much some of the Spiritual Marks cost, they were shocked, frightened even.

Guria gazed at a Spiritual Mark almost near the top of the list, full of desire as she said, "If I work hard, I'll be able to obtain it within a century."

"Mine would probably take a couple of centuries." Rumria laughed as she said. "That is if we went about it normally."

She then looked at Zamuria and asked, "Information can also be used to obtain Contribution Points, right?"

"Of course." Zamuria nodded, aware of what Rumria was getting at. As the successor of her continent, the things she knew about were... a bit too much.

Zamuria silently prayed for the Rumria and Guria Continent before leading the two individuals bearing the same name to the library..
