Is that a Wisp?
chapter-194

Krune kept changing directions now and then to make sure that they weren't being pursued. Only when Krune was convinced that the Wang Clan guys couldn't catch them anymore did he stop. Krune then looked behind and felt relieved. He wasn't sure if those guys had any other methods under their sleeves, so he felt tense all the time.

Feifei looked around with her Divine Sense and also couldn't see those guys.

"Great! We are finally free of them. Of course, we might find them on our way to the inner Core Region. But at that time, we just need to flee again."

Krune then returned to his human form and nodded.

"Indeed. It seems like unless it is a dangerous situation, they won't risk overdoing it just to catch up to us."

Feifei nodded and looked back at Krune. But when she did, her face immediately became as red as a tomato.

"You- you! Where are your clothes?"

Krune looked down and then said.

"Oh! It is just that when I turn back into my wisp form, the clothes have no use. So I put them inside my spatial ring. Now that I came back to my human form, I obviously don't have them on. But it is okay, from what I heard, it seems like it is not a problem to be naked in front of your wife as long as it is just the two of you."

Feifei felt helpless and said while looking away.

"We haven't married yet! So put them back."

Krune was puzzled since he already considers Feifei his wife. Still, he did as she asked and put them on.

Finally, Feifei looked back at Krune with his clothes. Still, she couldn't simply forget what she saw just a few moments ago. Feifei then tried to put those thoughts behind her mind and asked.

"What should we do now? Should we go to the Inner Core Region straight away?"

Krune pondered a bit and said.

"The idea here is to temper ourselves, so we should do it. Also, if we don't find worthy opponents, there is no way we can test our combined attack power and teamwork."

Krune and Feifei had already discussed several times about their own abilities, elements control, etc. As one could imagine, Feifei is perfect for the support role with her Destiny Major Core. She can predict the enemies' next moves and deal with them before they are used. Of course, such ability had its limits. After all, she would need to do that in the middle of the battle. So at most, she could keep tags on three opponents of the same level.

There is also a problem with the difference in cultivation. If the opponent's cultivation is too high, reading the changes in the destiny energy would be a lot more complicated. So Feifei could at most keep tags against a single Divine Soul Realm opponent. Still, thanks to her improved Destiny Core, she would be able to calculate up to the 6th Stage Divine Soul Realm!

Other common Destiny Core owners would at most be able to calculate a 1st or 2nd Stage Divine Soul Realm while at the same cultivation realm as Feifei.

If Feifei decides to pay the price, a 7th or maybe even an 8th Stage might be possible! That shows just how much better Feifei's Destiny Core is in comparison to the others.

She specialized herself in Water, Earth, and Wood. As the daughter of the Wang Clan's Head, she received the best training since young. So she could also control Fire, Wind, and Lightning to a high level. It's just that she couldn't use Elements at the same time as Krune can. Of course, the other elements are still quite worse than the other 3 main ones. At the moment, Feifei is the same as Gomat, who can control Four Elements at the same time.

In the end, Feifei is almost like Krune. Someone who could even fight other Major Core Owners at higher cultivation stages.

Feifei didn't hold anything back when she explained to Krune about her abilities. Krune, of course, did the same. He told her what he could and could not do. The only thing that he left out was Light Spirit's existence. But Krune didn't think it was a problem since he didn't want Light Spirit's help to start with. So he obviously wouldn't call him out to help unless the situation was dire.

Feifei nodded and said.

"Then we can move in that direction slowly. The Sect also said that they only verified the ambient in the outer perimeter, so they don't know much about the insides. Who knows? Maybe we will find something interesting there."

Krune nodded.

"That might be possible. Just one thing, instead of moving directly there, let's take a roundabout route. That way, we can prevent ourselves from encountering others anytime soon."

Feifei agreed with that, and she immediately decided to set off. But just before she could do it, Krune grabbed Feifei's waist and gave her a kiss! Feifei, of course, was surprised that Krune took the initiative out of nowhere. After all, she knew very well that Krune wasn't the type to care much about those things... or so she thought.

"This... why that now?"

Krune looked a little embarrassed and said.

"Didn't you say you wanted a lot of kisses in the future? I have to make sure that you will get what you want then."

That was a LIE! In fact, ever since Krune got to taste a kiss from Feifei back at his home, he had been wondering when he could do that again. He couldn't understand the reason behind it, but this action had made him very happy. It was only at that moment that he realized why other couples like to kiss each other. So he decided that although logic said that there was no meaning behind it, he would still do that anyway.

Feifei, of course, didn't mind it at all! If anything, she was delighted to see Krune taking the initiative as a good man should! She wondered before if it would turn out that she would have to be the active side of their relationship all the time. But it seems now that her worries were baseless. Krune just had to learn a bit more. Besides, Krune's approach just now was quite satisfying!

"It's good that you know what I want."

Feifei also gave him a kiss back and then said.

"But we should move now, let's go."

Krune nodded, and the two of them departed.

The Dimensional Realm was enormous! Even for those who moved in a straight line, it would still take a few days to leave the outer perimeter and enter the central one. The Inner Core Region, of course, was even further away.

Uriu Orion had been moving with his group ever since they entered this Realm. So far, they encountered quite a few strong demon beasts that lived in the place. Still, Uriu and his companions were the geniuses of the Spiritas Kingdom, so they were able to deal with them. Some times it was easy, other times not so much.

Of course, they haven't bumped into a Divine Soul Realm enemy yet. Otherwise, things wouldn't have been this simple.

Uriu is just like Krune, Feifei, and Hulibe Acrol. A Major Core Owner! Of course, his one is a regular Major Core. He also has the Life Core, just like Nala back in the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam. Still, that, coupled with his strong soul power as a Spiritas, made his healing abilities really fearsome! Nala is simply far from his level at the moment.

Thanks to that, his group of three is pretty much unscratched!

Uriu and his group are now traversing between the outer and central regions of the Dimensional Realm. As a place left behind by an expert a long time ago, there is bound to be traps left behind by its owner. So they were moving carefully to avoid attracting calamity.

Suddenly, Uriu started to feel restless, as if something wasn't right. When he tried to check what was making him feel like that, he noticed that his Life Core was the reason. As a Core Formation Realm cultivator, he also has a connection with his Life Core through the part of his soul inside. It was that connection that was passing to him his Life Core warning.

"This! A Death Major Core owner!"

After advancing into the Core Formation Realm, one can stop the resonance between Major Cores. For Uriu to be able to notice the Death Core's presence, it has to be because its owner is purposely not hiding it. If that is the case, it also means that the opponent had already noticed their presence.

Uriu was right, the one who appeared this time was none other than the black-clothed man who fought against the Lava Golem! As soon as he noticed Uriu's group presence, he decided to attack so that he could ask them if they know where Feifei is. After that, he would kill everyone to eliminate the witnesses.

Uriu didn't know if this Death Core owner was someone from this Dimensional Realm of if it was an intruder. Still, he can tell that the other side had no good intentions. Otherwise, his Life Core wouldn't be acting like this. Not to mention the close connection that Life and Death Cores have with each other, which made it even more evident for Uriu.

"Enemy attack! Everyone, defensive formation. The enemy is strong, no doubt that he is in the Divine Soul Realm. Also, the enemy is a Major Core owner, so you all better take it seriously!"

Uriu's group was alarmed for a second, but immediately after, they took their positions to make a defensive formation. As expected, Uriu took the center of the formation. One of his companions is focused on attack power while the other is on defense. Uriu's part was to serve as support.

"Good, start moving back from where we came through the right side!"

The other two were once more taken aback! That is because the route that Uriu chose would pass through a trap formation that they had avoided. Still, they immediately understood Uriu's mind. It seemed like the enemy is really strong, so they can only count on this method to somehow deal with him.

Sure enough, after some time retreating, the black-clothed man appeared in front of them.

"One question. Where is Wang Feifei?"

The black-clothed man asked only that. But that was enough for Uriu to understand that the enemy definitely isn't someone from this Realm. He looked at the man and said.

"We don't know. After we entered this Realm, we separated into several groups. So I can't tell you where Feifei had gone."

The black-clothed man then snorted and said.

"Okay, you can go to the other world now."

Uriu was already expecting that the other part wasn't going to leave them alone.

"Hmph! It depends on whether you can send us there or not."
