Is that a Wisp?
chapter-1122

"I'm telling you, Little Cally vanished once I condensed my Spiritual Incarnation," Krune said in protest, intending to make Feifei believe him.

"If it vanished when you condensed your Spiritual Incarnation…" Feifei said with a frown, "Doesn't that mean a part of it has become you?"

"The Calamity Laws are a part of your Spiritual Incarnation now. So, you are indeed the cause," she said, pointing a finger at him. "Before, it happened through you. And now, you're the culprit."

"Fine, jail me!" Krune said, raising his hands, turning his head around as he returned to his wisp form, pouting. Since all of them already knew of his form, he could freely use his wisp form without any apprehension.

"Alright, alright, don't sulk." Feifei sighed, wrapping him in her embrace. "Let's see the action first. We probably won't get to see it again."

"Indeed…" Krune said, returning to his human form as he looked at the numerous lightning bolts that slammed down one after another on the Predominated Vines, saying, "Maybe it's thanks to me that we get to see such a spectacle. Don't forget to thank me later."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Everyone else stared at him, surprised at his shameless comeback. Some of the Predominated Vines too turned around to look at him, shaking their vine stem upon observing him before returning to their usual selves.

"…Damn it, even a vine…" Krune grumbled, snorting as he sat in place, glaring as he saw the scene before him.

From time to time, some of the Predominated Vines failed to break through, getting reduced into ash in the process. But occasionally, there arrived some Predominated Vines that managed to successfully break through to the Semi-God Realm.

Moreover, once a Predominated Vine was reduced into ashes, another Predominated Vine nearby attempted a breakthrough. It was like they had no plans to stop until the number of immortal Predominated Vines that could live here had hit the limit.

For every twenty breakthrough attempts, there was one success. Every time a Predominated Vine turned into ashes, Krune winced at the loss, almost crying. "I lifted that vine from the ground with delicate care. I even polished it once before storing it."

"I cleaned a bit of the soil coating its stem while transporting it."

"I sang it a melody while picking it up…"

"I even kissed it goodbye while storing it…"

For every Predominated Vine that turned into ash, Krune made up a story, creating a melodramatic atmosphere.

Feifei and Seamstress frowned, glaring at him while Zamura and Zamuria listed to every nonsense he spewed with rapt attention, already immersed into the situation. They even began to cheer the Predominated Vines in support, acting based on their backstory that Krune explained.

"Just…what is this situation?" Feifei looked at the lightning bolts slammed nonstop on one side and at the cheering group on the other that attached a sob story to every vine that fell.

"Thankfully, the two of us are still sane." The Seamstress sighed as she looked at Feifei.

'Weren't you someone that ran all over your continent to capture evil cultivators?' Feifei thought while gazing at the Seamstress, deciding to remain silent.

The ashes of the Predominated Vines that failed to break through changed the terrain, making it more suitable for the vines to live. By absorbing the ashes, they grew stronger, beginning to condense the Predominated Fruits bit by bit.

Soon, when around three thousand Predominated Vines attained the Semi-God Realm, the lightning bolts ceased to exist while the tribulation clouds dissipated.

Soon, there was a shuffling as the Semi-God Realm Predominated Vines formed the inner circle around the altar while the remaining vines surrounded them. The moment all the breakthroughs concluded, Krune was able to sense that the Suppression Law had condensed in the area.

"From now on, this place has some foundation." He laughed.

"You're right about that." Zamura laughed in agreement. "At present, we don't need many Predominated Fruits. So, we can allow the remaining fruits to burst upon ripening and increase the concentration of the Suppression Law in the place while also expanding their population."

"I have around 800 Predominated Fruits with me," Krune said. "If urgent, I can send my clones through the Four Sectors' Border region. This war seems like it might span at least a century or two as the secrets in the Sub-Realm they're fighting over concern becoming a God."

"Send a couple clones to keep track of the situation there," Zamura told Krune. "Once we have enough strength, we'll participate there and obtain the benefits for ourselves. Let's take action when it seems like the war is about to conclude."

"If it was a two-way war, it would have concluded long ago," Zamuria interjected. "But since it's a three-way war, it will stretch for even longer. The ones who truly need the secrets are immortals. Naturally, time is always on their hands. So, they will keep probing until they have enough guarantee in making a move."

"They would also be trying to kill the immortals of the other side and cause them to expend more resources to revive. This way, the continent that goes bankrupt first would be ganged up on by the other two. Then, the remaining two would fight to decide on a victor." She concluded.

"It's for our best interest if this war takes a lot of time to finish. We can grow stronger in that case," the Seamstress said, glancing at Feifei to ask, "Can you also tell us more about the Golden Gate Sect? There's no guarantee that your sect's enemies wouldn't be able to track us down here. It's for the best to be prepared from early on."

"Alright, I'll tell you more about them," Feifei said. "But, I feel like the continent with the Golden Gate Sect is too far away. So, my enemies won't be able to track me down this far away. Even if they manage to track me, it'll take tremendous resources for them to even teleport this far away. They probably won't be able to afford to do so in the short time since the Golden Gate Sect still hasn't fallen."

"Before that happens, let's have thousands of immortals in our sect," Krune said, laughing. "Now, let's finish constructing the cultivation chamber."
