Is that a Wisp?
chapter-622

Illia took a deep breath and then explained how her battle went. Obviously, their group was shocked to know about the real power of the Sky Shifting Sect's Divini View Realm duo.

"Not only Ralpha ended like this, but the rainbow-colored guy could also keep Illia at bay. Not only that, but both of them hadn't released their Domains at all, is that correct?"

Illia and Ralpha nodded.

Pharan narrowed his eyes.

"Could it be that they are hiding their real cultivation? Ralpha is one thing, but I find it hard to believe that even Illia wasn't able to do anything to him."

Illia shook her head.

"I don't know, but I believe it is possible. You guys know what I'm capable of, but I still couldn't do anything to him. Now that I think about it, maybe it was a trap from the get-go. We tried to take advantage of their weakness. Still, it turned out to be their strength—especially the Rainbow-Haired guy, who can remove the Top Quality Godly Stones in a matter of seconds."

Pharan nodded.

"The Sky Shifting Sect was quite cunning. Now, not only we did nothing to their Semi-Divinity Realm members, we lost one of our own. Fortunately, the Space Creatures appeared. If the things had continued like that, I believe our losses wouldn't have been only Ralpha."

Everyone nodded. Now, no one believed in the cultivation that they saw from Krune and Iem anymore. They think that Krune and Iem are definitely in the peak of the Divinity Realm, just like the others. As for how they disguised their cultivation, that didn't matter anymore.

"Senior Pharan, what should we do now?"

Pharan pondered a bit before reaching a decision.

"I have an idea."

Back on Krune's group side, they left the island and were making their way to the next one.

"The guys from the Flower River Sect attacked us, shouldn't we go after them as well?"

Jimage shook his head.

"It's useless. We don't know from which side they entered the chaotic space. Not only that, but their peak Divinity Realm member is very strong. Even if I go all out, I'm not sure if I could defeat him or not. I could tell that he didn't show his real power during our last fight, either. Well, I didn't too."

Rui then added.

"They seemed to know that we were there. From what Sisan said, they also seemed to be observing their group in the chaotic space. That means they can locate those nearby somehow. I agree with Jimage. We should stay far away and focus on the Top Quality Godly Stones only."

Everyone nodded. Xanala then looked in Krune's direction before asking.

"Krune, are you an Earth Element user? You removed the Godly Stones pretty easily before, so we might use you for the next Earth Element nodes too."

Krune pondered a bit before saying.

"As long as it is part of the five primary elements, I should be pretty fine with any node."

Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing that.

"Great! We are leaving it up to you then."

Krune didn't mind. In fact, it would be even better if it was the case. His contribution would be bigger, which he could use to acquire more items to remove the siblings' Memory Seal.

Somewhere else, the Three Peaks Sect group members wee hiding in a floating Island that was not connected to the White Root. Instead of ten members, they only had nine, and three of them seemed severely injured. Sure enough, the explosion they triggered last time killed one of their members.

Their leader, Foltan Earko, was looking at the three members while they recovered.

"How long will it take for them to recover?"

One of his companions shook his head.

"Even with the pills the elders gave us, they should still need another day. They were too slow to get away from the explosion, so they are lucky to have survived already."

Foltan narrowed his eyes after hearing that.

"Keep doing it. We will need them for the spaces where the Divinity Realm members can't enter."

Suddenly, Foltan expression changed. He looked in a certain direction before telling his group.

"Stay here, I'll be right back."

Back on Krune's side, their group changed their path and headed towards a small floating island not connected to the White Root. As for why they did that, it was because Krune asked.

A few minutes ago, Zule used Divine Sense to communicate with Krune.

"There is something different in that island over there."

Krune was taken aback and looked in the direction Zule pointed at. The island seemed unremarkable, not to mention that the lack of a White Root made it somewhat useless for Top Quality Godly Stones collection. The nodes where the Godly Stones are mined are attached to those roots, so they needed to select those islands.

"What is it? More Top Quality Godly Stones?"

"No, it's something different. It seems like some kind of Space Type... thing."

Krune narrowed his eyes. Zule is, in fact, a Space Heavenly Fragment. The treasure he resides in is also a Space Type Artifact. Krune has no doubt that Zule's space attainments are several times better than his own, so it shouldn't be just a feeling.

"Do you want us to go there, take a look?"

Zule nodded.

"Yes. Whatever it is, it should be impressive since it can catch my attention."

Krune didn't know whether to go there or not, so he decided to check with Jimage first.

"Hum? Something on that island is catching your attention?"

Of course, Krune didn't say that it was Zule who told him.

"Yes. I have a strange feeling about this place. I don't know what is there, though. It's up to senior Jimage to decide whether we should take a look or not."

Jimage pondered a bit and looked at the others.

"What you all think? It's not exactly our mission, but the island isn't that far away either. At most, we will lose one hour or so. However, there might also have dangers in that place, so I won't decide it on my own."

Everyone looked at the island that Krune pointed out, but they couldn't feel anything strange. Of course, their Divine Senses is far from enough to reach there.

"I don't mind. Krune already saved us one hour in the last node. Not to mention that he will save a lot more time with the next ones if he can pull the same thing out."

"I agree. Besides, it might be some treasure. This place is full of Godly Energy, much more than outside. It wouldn't be strange if some kind of natural treasure appeared there."

The others also agreed in the end, and their group changed direction.

On the way, Iem asked Krune what was that about.

"What did you find there?"

Krune shook his head.

"I don't know, it was Zule who alerted me. He said that it is something Space-Related since it could catch his attention. Probably something impressive."

Iem also found it weird but nodded in the end.

Soon they arrived on the island. It wasn't as big as the islands with White Roots connected, but it was a few tens of kilometers wide. Their group proceeded forward with caution, trying to avoid an ambush or something like that.

It was then that the space around them fluctuated. As soon as that happened, everyone entered in combat mode. Every time it happened, they were assaulted by Space Type Creatures, so they already got used to the feeling.

However, the fluctuations continued for a few minutes without a single creature appearing. Finally, Jimage and the others began to get confused at that scene.

"Could it be that it isn't the space creatures?"

"The creatures have no intelligence. They wouldn't spend their time trying to scare us. If they haven't come until now, then it's probably not them."

"Then what is it? Should we retreat?"

Once again, everyone looked at Jimage. He was the group leader, so it was his decision. However, just as he was about to say something, the fluctuations around the group stopped.

Krune immediately took that chance to ask Zule inside his Spatial Ring.

"Do you know what is happening?"

Zule then answered.

"I think I do, there is another sealed space, and the entrance is somewhere on this island."

Krune was taken aback.

"You mean, like the chaotic spaces we passed by before?"

"No, it was not a natural thing. It was left behind by someone. However, it seems like it has existed for quite some time. The space inside is starting to waver, that's why we saw those fluctuations before. If I'm not wrong, this sealed space is reaching the limit of its existence. That's why I could feel its presence a while ago when we were passing by this island."

Krune nodded.

"Do you know where it is?"

Zule scanned the area for a second before saying.

"Obviously, that sealed space is separated from this one, so it is not really 'here.' However, the entrance is indeed in this place. From what I can feel, it should be in the center of the island. There is probably a spatial gate or something like that there."

Krune and Zule's conversation only lasted two seconds through the Divine Sense message, so nothing much happened outside. Jimage was still pondering if they should go ahead or not.

"Senior Jimage, I can feel it clearly now. Whatever it is, it is in the center of the island. However, we don't need to look at it now. We might want to come back here later after gathering more Top Quality Godly Stones. Or maybe we don't even need to come back at all. I'll follow senior's orders."

Jimage nodded.

"Okay, the fluctuations stopped, so let's go take a look."
