Is that a Wisp?

A few days later, Krune was once again hidden in the middle of a forest. On his hand, one could see the last of his Godly Energy Stones. It was then that a crack sound echoed in the surroundings. As Krune looked at the origin, he saw that same stone crumbling into dust.

Heavin then came flying and landed on his shoulder.

"You still have to get the Godly Stones from the Previous level in the next Light Pillar. Are we going there now?"

Krune pondered a bit and asked Light Spirit's opinion.

"I think it is useless. As you can see, this level of Godly Energy is much higher than the previous one. Even if you use all the Godly Stones reward that you got from the previous level, you will still be lacking. Rather than that, I would recommend that you stay here and cultivate until you reach the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm."

"You aren't that far since you already used 10 Godly Stones while still in the 7th Stage. At most, you should take two months to achieve this breakthrough. The rewards you got from the previous level should be just enough to have your body getting used to the Godly Energy of this level after that."

Krune nodded.

"Very well. If I can't do anything in the next level the way I am at the moment, I can only here for the time being."

Suddenly, Krune felt a Divine Sense checking the surroundings. Not long after, a cultivator appeared in his sight. It seemed that the guy was coming directly on attack mode, which was also good in Krune's opinion.

"Well, I can't only cultivate. I need some combat experience too."

Heavin laughed and immediately took flight.

"Good, I'm joining this time as well."

A moment later, explosions and waves of energy spread everywhere around.

Holy Land, six months after the start.

Back inside the Origin Realm, Little Arty guided Fie while she fought a fake demon beast created by a formation.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong! Why did you use your Lightning Movement just now? If you had used this chance to throw a Blazing Wind Blade, it would have lost its balance, and you could give a finishing blow."

Fie immediately sulked.

"Little Arty, you are as annoying as my dad when you are training me! Can't you give me a little break? Please?!"

Fie then looked at Little Arty's projection with pleading eyes.

Little Arty had taken the form of a big colored orb. He told her that this is just how he looks like. Fie also asked to see it personally, but he refused without even thinking twice.

"Is your father really like this?"

Fie eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded vigorously. Maybe she can convince him to take it easier on her.

"Great! Then I like him already. That is proof that he really loves you very much. Now stop complaining and pay attention, there comes the next one."

Not only her pleading eyes didn't work, telling him about her father made Little Arty even more energetic. She had tried to refuse training before, but Little Arty answered that by simply disappearing. Not only that, but everything around Fie vanished too. He didn't punish her. Instead, he left Fie by herself.

On the first day, she tried to put a strong front, continually saying that she didn't care. On the second day, her expression wasn't that brave anymore. On the third, she began to feel scared that Little Arty had really gone and left her there forever. On the forth, her pretense finally fell. While tears fell from her face, she promised that she would train diligently. Only then did Little Arty appear once more, and everything around Fie transformed back to what it was. For fie, being alone was scarier than anything else.

"Little Arty, you bully me too much!"

"The tenth level Godly Energy is extremely strong, how do you expect to resist it with a weak body like that? If you want to see your parents when they arrive there, you have to be able to survive that first. Stop complaining. Look, the next one is attacking again. After you finish it, I will let you eat anything you want."

Fie's eyes lit up as she looked at the beast.

"You said it! Anything I want!"

Sure enough, Fie is just as a glutton as Krune. One must not underestimate DNA.

In the last six months, Little Arty had been training Fie rigorously. He could only send her out at the tenth Dimensional Realm, so he had to make her strong enough to resist that Godly Energy level.

Little Arty controlled the Godly Energy present in the Origin Realm of the Holy Land perfectly. It was never too much or too small. In a certain way, Fie was one of the luckiest participants of this Holy Land opening. She went from the 5th Stage of the Core Formation Realm all the way to the 9th.

Thanks to the Godly Energy properties, her foundation was not affected due to the speed of cultivation. Little Arty was now preparing her for the breakthrough into the Divine Soul Realm.

Still, he was really impressed by Fie's capability of adaptation to Godly Energy. This speed is nothing more than a miracle in his eyes for someone at her cultivation realm. Of course, he had no idea that it was all thanks to the Elemental Meridians.

He had asked Fie bout her cultivation technique before, but Fie insisted that she didn't have one. It wasn't a lie, Fie and Liriu were already born with the Elemental Meridians. That being said, they did not have the need to practice the Myriad Energies Technique. It was already part of their bodies.

Little did he notice, but his life had been a lot more enjoyable ever since she appeared. He could not communicate with those that are outside. His only duty was to make sure that the Holy Land worked smoothly. As far as he remembers, that had always been his only job ever since his Master left. So he had never had anyone to talk to, all he could do was to observe. After so long, he already grew numb to this sensation of solitude.

But now, things have changed. Someone had finally entered his Origin Realm, and Little Arty could finally communicate.

Boom!

Suddenly, the fake Demon Beast that was attacking Fie fell on the ground. Not long after, it became specs of light and disappeared.

"Not too bad. That last strike was somewhat passable."

Fie was drenched in sweat, but her face showed happiness.

"Yay! Don't forget your promise!"

Little Arty didn't mind.

"Very well, what do you want to eat?"

Fie pondered a bit before asking.

"Can you show me the list again?"

Suddenly, an enormous list of food appeared in Fie's mind.

One would be wondering how Little Arty got food in this place, right? The fact is, he didn't. All the food appearing in the list were things that are inside the Spatial Rings of all participants of the Holy land. That's correct, he could rob everyone of everything they had if he wanted to.

Of course, his mission is to make the Holy Land run smoothly, so he didn't take anything that could affect the participants. Still, now and then, a demon beast or a cultivator would notice that part of the food they brought in disappeared.

Although most cultivators and demon beasts would not eat anymore, there are always some 'Krune-like' participants. That is where all the food was coming from.

Even Krune had become a target three times! After all, few had as many types of food as this glutton in their spatial rings.

Krune, of course, noticed that. He even threw a tantrum once and went on a rampage against the cultivators and demon beasts around the place he was in. How dare they steal his food? Unfortunately, he did not find the culprit. Those poor and innocent demon beasts and cultivators... just what did they do to deserve this?

On Liriu's side, he had been following the same demon beast until now. In the end, he found out that his name was Zulin, a horned golden shark from a Planet in Dalin Universe called Ealiu. According to Zulin, 95% of his planet's surface was covered by water, and horned golden sharks were quite common there.

Zulin also asked Liriu about his story, which Liriu explained as well as he could. Simply put, Tiane and Ruik were the same as Krune and Feifei. They didn't know about the several realms in each level and ended getting separated.

Zulin was also curious about Liriu's cultivation technique. After all, Liriu's cultivation speed was really fast! But he was shocked to hear from Liriu that he didn't have a cultivation technique, just like Fie. For him, it was natural to cultivate at this rate.

In these six months, Liriu got into the 8th Stage of the Core Formation Realm, one below Fie. It is already a surprising speed, though. He didn't have Little Arty's support and could only rely on the second dimensional realm's Godly Energy.

As for his body adaptability to the Godly Energy, it was mostly due to his Dracophoenix bloodline. Although it is sealed, it is still there. Even Fie with Little Arty's help couldn't compare to him in this aspect. Liriu had been at the level to enter the third level a long time ago, but he simply didn't dare to leave Zulin's side.

Unfortunately for Liriu, they wouldn't be able to stay together for long.

"Liriu, my body finally finished adapting to the Godly Energy. I'm going to enter the test of the laws tomorrow, so if I pass, we will probably get separated. From there on, you will need to take care of yourself."
