Is that a Wisp?
chapter-1299

"We're past the first hurdle." Krune sighed in relief as he accompanied everyone, returning to the sect.

Sterlena had already used her detection methods on everyone that had participated in the war, ensuring there weren't any hidden methods of their enemies among them. Only after that were they allowed entry.

"What about the cleanup?" Krune asked, looking at the pollution within the waters that were obviously caused by the war.

"Let's handle it tomorrow after some rest," Sterlena said, acting nonchalant. "I've already destroyed any markers they left here. Also, the owners of said markers are currently trapped in the Realm of Suffering, meaning they wouldn't be able to return for almost a century. Even if they finished it, they would be curious to explore the infant supercontinent due to the obvious rewards there."

"You're right." Nodding in response, Krune entered the sect and used a massive open hall to begin cooking up food. Instantly, an aroma wafted out throughout the sect, mesmerizing the sect members, causing them to become captivated by the aroma to such an extent they turned into mindless puppets, following wherever their noses led them.

"Wait… this is?" Sterlena was shocked as she hurriedly closed her nose, using her abilities to seal her entire body. But even then, she was still able to feel the aroma, finally noticing the cause. "It's being transmitted through my Divine Sense now?"

She shuddered for a moment to gaze at the happy figure of Krune, that was grinning like an idiot while seriously cooking up a massive feat enough for the entire sect. 'Does he realize what he's doing or not? Man, the Divine Sense Law is pretty terrifying.'

She then observed his expression, feeling a brimming headache already. "Of course, he doesn't."

"Eh? I'm not done cooking yet. You'll have to wait." Krune was startled all of a sudden, noticing a crowd had formed around him. Those in the Semi-God Realm used their aerial superiority, surrounding him in the air.

In unison, all of them were drooling, looking like they had lost their minds.

"Wait, wait, you shouldn't eat it now!" Krune shouted in a fluster, distracted, watching a sect member use a godly ability to snatch a portion of the food he was cooking and begin eating immediately.

That was the spark that ignited the mountain of dynamite as every sect member began to unleash their godly abilities to steal the food and gorge on them in madness.

"What the… hell?" For a moment, Krune looked like he was seeing a group of zombies that were ready to feast upon him, stepping back immediately, watching the sect members pounce upon the food.

Things escalated to such an extent that even the bowl and utensils that he used to cook the food were eaten up, causing Krune's face to turn pale. "What came over them?"

"It's your food…" Feifei said, hesitantly approaching him as she was wrapped up in layers of defensive abilities, saying, "It's already on the level of a potent ability."

She then patted him and asked, "Why didn't you cook when my enemies arrived before? The war would have ended even sooner."

"…" His eyes twitched as he wished to refute but couldn't find a counter, cursing the weak-willed students for falling prey to the aroma so easily. "I'll train them harshly in the future. This isn't befitting of a member of the Mountain Sect."

The horde of zombies attacking the bowl instinctively shuddered for some reason before they continued to eat. Poor cultivators, they fell prey to Krune's cooking and would have to face harsh training in the future under his hands.

It took at least a couple of hours before everything subsided as the sect members regained their senses one after another.

Some clutched their stomachs, feeling like they had swallowed rocks, while some sported expressions of content, suddenly becoming enlightened as they meditated then and there, attaining breakthroughs simultaneously.

A small batch of these cultivators lacked any teeth, for they had all been shattered… for obvious reasons. However, they didn't seem to have noticed that, furiously chasing after the spark of enlightenment they had obtained.

"Why don't we change our sect's name to Rainbow Flavours of Disaster?" Suddenly, Zamura stroked his non-existent beard, putting on a wise sage act as he stated solemnly. "I feel like this killer weapon of ours would make us famous throughout the God Realm."

"We're no longer friends from today onwards…" Krune muttered as he flew away, obviously shirking responsibility as he didn't want to deal with the questioning of his sect members.

Though, from a closer glance, he noticed the sect members licking their lips from time to time, looking like they still wanted to eat more. However, Krune dared not cook in front of them again, fearing what might happen this time.

The previous time, they only ate the utensils along with the food he was preparing. But what if they tried to eat him up as well, along with the food? Surely the cook would taste better than the food, right?

Considering how his Spiritual Incarnation consisted of all the laws of the God Realm, surely it would contain everything that would be beneficial for those that consume him…

Right?

Such dangerous thoughts flashed in his mind as Krune passed through the portal in the center of the sect and arrived within the Sub-Realm, quickly finding a vacant floating continent that he arrived above.

He took out his Soul Needle, concentrating on it before unleashing a massive tower before him, rooting it to the floating continent, expanding it to its maximum size.

Krune noticed that the first to fifth floors were solid while the sixth to ninth was ethereal. It was because he was at the Semi-God Realm.

Godly Inhibition Tower!

He needn't much preparation beyond that since he was only manifesting his ability to the place, ensuring to create a cultivation environment for the sect members where they could temper their Godly Energy.

At least, this created an opportunity for the mortals to work hard and raise their Godly Energy quality to the Semi-God Realm—resembling a Rank 5 God Stone.. That way, once they attempt a breakthrough to the Semi-God Realm, not only would it be easier, but they would also become stronger.
