Time didn't wait for Krune and his group. Between cultivation, Elemental Path Stones collection, and rest, another 3 months went by. They have already absorbed thousands of stones, and their Elemental conversion rate increase by around 10% at this point.
Ruik and Tiane were at 40%, Krune at 60%, and Feifei at 60% as well. Feifei would have the same one as Ruik and Tiane, but she is in the Divine Soul Realm, after all.
Even though it looks a lot, the four of them already noticed that the stones are starting to lose effect. Still, it was worth to keep looking. They had at least two more years, after all.
During this time, Feifei had already entered the 2nd Stage of the Divine Soul Realm while Tiane and Ruik reached the 8th of the Core Formation one. Ruik also had no issues in learning the first Earth Element Sub-Law, Earth Essence. As for his Dream World Construction Sub-Law, he was quite far from reaching the intermediate state.
Krune and Feifei had been using their Elemental flowers all the time too. So it goes without saying that their Laws have improved a lot. Krune's Burning Law, for example, finally reached culmination. As for Feifei, she was very close to get her Cause Sub-law into the intermediate stage. Of course, she also had the other Elemental Laws like Water Flow, which got into the advanced stage.
Another good thing was that Krune could see the difference that the World of Laws received when he finished comprehending a sub-law. The Burning Law that had been occupying almost the entire extent of his World of Laws for Fire Elements finally gave some space for him to see the others more clearly. That made comprehending the other Fire Sub-Laws easier.
Krune and Feifei were once again looking for Elemental Path Stones when suddenly, they felt something inside of their Spatial Rings.
Krune was the first to take whatever it was out and soon found the reason.
"Oh, the collection passes expired. We need to go back to the Branch of the Elemental Sect to renew this thing."
Feifei nodded, and they contacted Ruik and Tiane. Immediately after, they left the zone they were in and went back to the nearest city. From there, they paid the fee and teleported to Tava city once more.
But instead of going to the Elemental Sect Branch, Krune took out a few bottles with more pills and passed to Feifei and the others.
"If you want, you can go ahead and collect more Elemental Path Stones. I will take this opportunity to go back to the Wisp World to make my breakthrough into the Divine Soul Realm."
Feifei immediately shook her head.
"I'm going back too. I want to see your breakthrough. After all, your case is a little different from the others, so I don't want to miss it."
Ruik and Tiane also wanted to do the same, but Krune advised them otherwise.
"You two are a little behind when we consider the Elemental Path Stones Energy, so you should stay here and keep looking for them. Feifei and I used the Demon Beasts from the Elemental Path before, and they had a lot more energy than the stones."
Tiane and Ruik tried to change Krune's mind, but they had to give up in the end. Krune was adamant about them keeping looking for the Elemental Path Stones.

They had seen Feifei's breakthrough before, so it really looked quite simple. Not to mention that the tribulation of this Universe is a lot easier than Luvile's one. Even if Krune had a weird Rainbow Divine Soul Egg, they believe that he will be okay.
Krune then looked at Feifei and asked.
"Are you sure you want to go back? I will only take two or three weeks to come back, you know?"
Feifei nodded.
"Still, I want to see it. Besides, Cinty will be there as well, so I want to hear her opinion."
Krune smiled and didn't force the issue anymore.
The group then went to a restaurant to eat again and separated ways right after.
Krune and Feifei then took the same long-distance Teleport Formation they used to arrive in the Elemental Sect planet and disappeared with a flash of silver light.
On their way back to the Wisp World, Krune received a message from Dilo.
"I'm going to the Elemental Sect planet now. Is there something you need from the Wisp World?"
Krune and Feifei couldn't help but laugh a little.
Krune then replied.
"Feifei and I are making our way back to the Wisp World this exact moment, so just wait for us there. Oh, right. There is something I want to talk with you, so make sure to be there once we arrive."
A few minutes later, Krune received Dilo's confirmation.
Feifei looked at Krune and asked.
"Are you planning to give him the Myriad Energies Technique?"
Krune nodded.
"You really know me well. Without it, there won't be much of a reason for Dilo to go to the Elemental Sect planet. After all, he won't be able to detect the Elemental Path Stones without the Elemental Meridians. It's just that this time, I will need him to make a decision."
Feifei could already imagine what it was.
"It's about his soul slive, am I right?"
Krune nodded.
"Indeed. The fact is, his appearance was too sudden, so we didn't have a lot of time to know each other. I can't simply let the Myriad Energies Technique be known at this time. I have always tried to give his soul slive back to him too, but he insists on leaving it to me."
Feifei could understand why Krune was thinking like that. Cinty is different since she is a Wisp, the Myriad Energies Technique is something that she knows that can't be passed out now. But Dilo, as a human, was a different issue.
Krune and Feifei arrived at the Wisp Main World a few days later, and Dilo was already there waiting for them.
"How is your domain now? Did you get to finish creating it during your time on the missions?"
Dilo nodded and then shook his head.
"I improved it a lot, but it is not at the level of a real domain yet. But I already tested everything battle related to it, so I just need to finish pondering about the rest. Only after I finish the last step will I go out to test it once more."
It was then that Dilo remembered.
"Oh, because you said that we will be staying in the Wisp World for some time, I brought my wife together with me after I finished my missions from the Mission Hall, is that okay?"
Feifei and Krune looked shocked at Dilo.
"You had a wife?"
Dilo's mouth twitched, seeing their reaction.
"I'm already 239 years old, you know? It would be weird If I still didn't have one instead."
Feifei and Krune had to admit that Dilo was right. For someone of his age, it would be really strange if they were still alone, especially considering that he is human. Humans put a lot more importance on things like marriage, after all.
"Sorry, I kept dragging you around and not even once I thought about asking you about your personal issues."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDilo laughed after hearing that.
"It is okay. Both she and I knew about the condition of my Dantian during the time I was in the Alchemist Organization. She always supported me and let me go through all of those tests without ever complaining. Also, she is pretty much like me, someone who prefers to die if it meant not to cultivate anymore. I guess stubbornness was what brought us together in the end."
Dilo then continued.
"When I told her about what happened, she felt very grateful to you. So she had always asked me to introduce her, and that is one more reason why I brought her here this time."
Krune and Feifei didn't mind at all, if anything, they were happy that Dilo has someone like that by his side.
"Oh, right. You said that you wanted to talk to me in private. Should we talk now?"
Krune shook his head.
"It's okay, let's go see your wife first. I already contacted Cinty, and she will be out tomorrow only. So I won't try to breakthrough before that."
Dilo had already talked to Krune through messages about his breakthrough, so he knew why Krune returned this time around.
"Very well, we are living close to your house here, so let's go there. Just don't be too surprised when you see her. Haha!"
Krune and Feifei looked at each other puzzled, why should they be surprised?
The answer didn't take long to be found.
Once they arrived at the house the Dilo was staying, they immediately met with his wife there. Her cultivation was quite good, at the 6th stage of the Divine Soul Realm, but that wasn't what caught their attention. There was something else that really made them shocked, Dilo's wife aura!
"I told you to not be surprised. Haha!"
Pow!
"Ouch!"
Before Dilo could react, his wife slapped the back of his head.
"Am I some kind of attraction for you so show?"
"Sorry."
Dilo's wife stepped forward and introduced herself.
"Hello, Jolk. I'm this idiot's wife, Xankruan. I might be in my human form now, but as you probably noticed, I'm a demon beast as well. To be more precise, a Scaled Mare. Nice to meet you!"
