Is that a Wisp?
chapter-1108

"So, this is the summit?" Krune asked, looking around as he saw another flat plain just like all the other levels. The only difference was the fact that everything looked grand and majestic.

Then again, Krune didn't feel anything of the sort now, realizing that the laws of this place had already conformed to the laws of God Realm. With that, he understood the significance of the Immortal Peak. It was to acclimate them to the laws of the God Realm.

In fact, it was to scale up their body cultivation to the laws of the God Realm, ensuring the strength they had was, in fact, enormous in the God Realm. After all, a regular cultivator in the God Realm only had the strength of a normal human.

Had they been directly transported back to the God Realm, their strength would have been meaningless. After all, it was a Black Demon physique's strength on a mortal scale. In comparison to the God Realm's level of power, it was puny.

After all, any random cultivator in the God Realm was capable of shattering countless planets in the Mortal Realm with a flick of their finger. But in the God Realm, they weren't anything special. So, the act of upgrading their body cultivation to the level attuned to the God Realm was the essence of the Immortal Peak's purpose in existence.

Now, Krune's physique had a weight surpassing 3000 kilograms in the God Realm. If the current him jumped into the Mortal Realm, his body would be as heavy as tens of thousands of planets put together.

It seemed that countless people had decided to stay at the peak and proceed with their lives here. After all, thanks to the laws of the God Realm in effect, those birthed here would be at the Mortal Rejection Realm. So, they could simply settle and live their lives peacefully here.

After all, the lowest cultivation was the First Stage of Mortal Rejection, while the peak was the First Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm. Even if a person never cultivated, as long as they breathed in the Godly Energy daily, they would reach First Stage Godly Fusion Realm by the time they become adults.

So, the world had veered into a strange dystopia where people never bothered to cultivate and simply worked with their society, performing farming, working on jobs, and doing a variety of things.

There wasn't any ounce of things related to cultivation in the place. After all, it didn't matter since everyone was in the same realm. And one's strength could at most overpower a couple of people. And that was if they trained themselves in martial arts.

If someone tried to do that, they would be captured by the police and jailed for the rest of their lives. The world at the peak was no different from the mortal world. Then again, there existed many techniques here to help make their lives easier.

After all, they had an abundance of Godly Energy to abuse. And, every Godly Ability in the place was related to life skills.

"Is this why you returned to your village?" Feifei asked.

"Yes." Teng Zakutra sighed. "As cultivators that have braved through danger one after other to finally reach this level, it came off as a culture shock to see that these people that lived at the peak of our world didn't even regard cultivation as anything serious."

"Where is the place that you mentioned?" Krune asked.

Even if he didn't go into detail, Teng Zakutra knew very well what Krune had specified, saying, "We'll have to board the train and journey for more than a month to reach our destination. After all, it's tremendously far away. However, it costs a fortune to travel that far."

He laughed wryly as he continued, "And I don't have that much money on my hands."

"I see," Krune said, closing his eyes as he focused on his subspace, now able to do so since the laws of the place were on par with the God Realm. Otherwise, he was unable to sense it normally, having to depend on his Little Krune fragments within the subspace to sense it.

As his cultivation was weaker in the past, he was unable to communicate with them. Their thoughts came off like nuclear bombs in his mind. That's why he never bothered to communicate with them even once, wholly blocking the channel.

He had done that at the start, after arriving at Layer 3 and observing the state of things. Even now, he was unable to open the entrance to his subspace. Even though the Laws of the level were similar to the God Realm, the peak cultivation here was only the First Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm.

And that meant his subspace that he attained after arriving at the God Foundation Realm and unlocking his Spiritual Incarnation couldn't be used here.

In any case, he wasn't disappointed as he had other means to gather wealth. He made eye contact with Feifei, looking at Teng Zakutra before telling him, "Wait here for a day. We'll quickly return."

"Alright." Teng Zakutra could only smile wryly and wait for them, sitting at a corner. Once the duo left, he looked around, noticing his stomach rumble.

He then approached a street vendor, asking, "Boss, how much is a chicken skewer?"

"Five Rank One God Stones," the vendor replied.

As he inhaled the aroma from the chicken skewers, his mouth watered as Teng Zakutra asked, "Boss, can I pay in kind? I'll work here for a day. You'll only need to feed me thrice a day."

"…" The boss looked at Teng Zakutra, noticing the other party dressed in casual clothes, saying, "Consider yourself hired."

"Can you handle yourself using a fire?"

"Of course." Teng Zakutra laughed in response. "This isn't the first time I'm doing this. Remember old Wang from the next street? I worked as his assistant during his golden rise."

…

A day later, Krune and Feifei had arrived, having unearthed enough treasures to have a sizeable amount of Rank One God Stones in their hand. They looked around the appointed meeting place, failing to find Teng Zakutra around.

But in return, they noticed a large crowd had formed while the aromatic smell of roasted chicken wafted everywhere, causing the passerby to drool before they too inquired and joined the crowd.

As the duo made their way through the crowd, they noticed Teng Zakutra and the vendor joining hands to flawlessly work in the art of cooking, causing waves of exclaim from the onlookers.

Seeing such a scene, Krune snorted, looking at Feifei as he cracked his knuckles. "These people really wish to flex in front of a Spiritual Chef. Let me show them who's the boss of the culinary world."
