Is that a Wisp?
chapter-628

However, Pharan immediately refused that idea.

"No!"

Jimage narrowed his eyes.

"Why? It's not like you will be losing anything."

Pharan then explained.

"The reason is simple. You were the first to find the teleport formation. So far, there is no proof that you really didn't know about this place beforehand. What if you really know about its secrets. Letting you go away would instead be prejudicial to us. Perhaps only your group knows what is safe and what is not."

Jimage snorted after hearing that.

"If that is the case, we can also lead you into some traps and get rid of you easier. Maybe I only raised this subject to make you paranoid so that you would stick with my group at all costs. After that, I could simply guide you two to your deaths and be all alone in the Top Quality Godly Vein Sealed Space. Of course, I might be trying to deceive you with these words I just said too. If we keep thinking like this, it will have no end, nor will we go anywhere."

Foltan, who had been hearing so far, finally intervened.

"You were right. This kind of thought process will bring us nowhere. The time is passing as we talk too. That being said, I've decided what to do. My group will continue to follow you. The reason is simple, that's because I believe that the dangers will be easier to avoid with your help. In my eyes, the possibility of an army of Space Creatures is a lot scarier than the chance of being stabbed in the back by any of you. If we stay together, it will be much safer to retaliate if we encounter something like that."

"Besides, Pharan has a point there. It is still not confirmed whether you really know something about this place or not. But I will bet that you don't. After all, such a thing didn't happen during the previous Sealed Space openings. Considering the spies inside each sect, I doubt that no clues about this place wouldn't have been found until this point."

Jimage narrowed his eyes. He had to admit that Foltan was right, so his reason was valid. Still, that mattered not. Foltan already made his mind to follow them, so they can't simply shake them off. After all, all three groups have Semi-Divinity Realm members. It's not like Jimage could simply run ahead and leave the rest behind.

Pharan laughed out loud after hearing that, though.

"See? Let's all be friends and keep going forward together. We already made this far anyway."

Jimage then looked at his group and talked with everyone through Divine Sense. Unfortunately, no one had a good idea to get rid of their enemies. The reason was simple, Pharan and Foltan's groups Divinity Realm members. Their numbers are still higher than theirs.

"Sigh... fine."

Knowing that forcing the issue could lead to a battle instead, Jimage gave up separating in the end. He and his group simply selected the same blood vessel with the highest flow of Godly Energy as always and kept moving forward. Pharan and Foltan, obviously, followed on the sides.

"We said that following the blood vessels with the highest Godly Energy flow would bring us to the Dantian or Demon Core. However, my group had a different idea. What brings Godly Energy inside are the meridians, not the vessels. That being said, we might be moving to the heart instead."

Pharan and Foltan didn't feel surprised by what Jimage said. After all, everyone knows that meridians are necessary for cultivation.

"Indeed. Also, look at the Silver Blood. At first, the amount on the ground was only enough to barely wet the sole of our feet. But now, it is already enough to cover our feet. I believe that we are really moving in the heart's direction."

Rui then warned everyone.

"There is a chance that we will reach a point where there is enough Silver Blood to give birth to Space Creatures. Pay attention to the space fluctuations that they cause before the attacks. Otherwise, don't blame the others if you die because you dropped your guard."

Everyone nodded.

"Well, that is considering that the blood is really the reason for the Creature to appear. As far as we know, the Creatures might not even exist here since we haven't seen a single one so far."

It was then that everyone felt some kind of power coming from ahead. However, it wasn't oppressive like the aura coming from everywhere. Instead, they felt quite relaxed with that.

"What is this?"

"I have never felt this kind of power before."

"It feels so good. My entire body feels relaxed. I feel like I could cultivate much faster if I did it now."

Even though that was the case, no one rushed forward. They kept at a slow pace so that they wouldn't fall into any trap. At some point, they reached a blocked passage that was protected by a membrane. However, it was so thin that it was possible to see the things inside.

They looked inside and noticed that it was a kind of space with several tube-like threads everywhere. However, what caught everyone's attention was the silver-like crystal that those tubes were connected to. It was the size of a human's head and glowed with Silver Light. As everyone looked at it, they could feel the same power that they felt a moment ago, but much more clearer.

"What is that thing? It seems incredible."

"Can you feel it? The Godly Energy emanating from it is even pure than the Top Quality Godly Stones! However, it is obviously not a Godly Stone for sure. Maybe only the Godly Vein itself has a purer Godly Energy."

"The sect will definitely reward us handsomely if we bring it back to them."

"Bring to them? I want to use it!"

Everyone had their eyes glued at that Silver Crystal, and even Krune wasn't an exception. He could also feel that that crystal would be very beneficial for his own cultivation. However, it was at this moment that he received a Divine Sense Message from Zule.

'Space God Crystal!'

Krune was immediately taken aback by that name.

'Is that the Space God Crystal you talked about?'

Back when Krune got the list of materials necessary to fix Zule's treasure pyramid, this item was included. Krune had found it for sale on the Blacksmith Network, but those were just a few broken tiny pieces with very little power. There wasn't a single one whole. Not only that, but they were also too expensive for Krune at the moment.

'There is no doubt, that is the real deal! As long as we get just a piece of that crystal, we will not need to acquire more. In fact, it would be even possible to enhance the treasure with so much of it.'

Krune pondered a bit and shook his head.

'That won't do. Instead, I would rather only use just enough to fix you and the rest I can sell to buy the rest of the items. What use will be there if we have a lot of it but can't get you fixed?'

Zule agreed with Krune.

'That's true. However, it won't be easy to secure those crystals. Look around...'

Krune did that, and his expression went grim. All three groups were looking at each other warily. Obviously, no one wanted to give up those crystals to the others.

Jimage then stepped forward.

"Cough, cough... What about we split that crystal into three segments? Each group will get one-third of it and avoid a meaningless battle. After all, no one here wants to have a fall out when we don't even know how to leave this place."

Pharan and Foltan narrowed their eyes. At the moment, their biggest enemy would be the Sky Shifting Sect since they have more members. However, the crystal was important for both of them, and they didn't want to share with the other. If they attack Jimage's group, they will try to hold back so that their group would be the least affected. Also, there was no guarantee that one of them wouldn't try to destroy the other during the process. In the end, they couldn't help but seriously consider Jimage's offer.

However, Zule also heard what they said and snorted.

'Idiots! Do they think they can split the Space God Crystal? Naive! Even a Mortal Rejection Realm cultivator or demon beast would find it extremely hard to remove just a tiny piece of it. Cut it into three segments? Only in their Dreams!'

Krune and Iem were taken aback by that. Obviously, an amicable agreement is now impossible between the three teams. Even if they agree with it now, they will soon find out that dividing the crystal is impossible.

Krune then sent a Divine Sense Message to Jimage, telling him that he just remembered that crystal.

'What, do you know that thing? How?'

Krune nodded.

'I'm a blacksmith. I saw it in the Blacksmith Network. That thing is God Crystal, and judging by its color, it is a Space Type one. Forget the proposal you just gave. It is simply impossible to break that God Crystal with our powers at the moment. We would need at least a Mortal Rejection Realm, and even so, it would be extremely hard.'

Jimage's complexion went dark at that moment. Pharan and Foltan were obviously just about to agree with his idea, but it would be impossible now. They will find sooner or later that they can't share the crystal between themselves.
