Is that a Wisp?
chapter-670

At some point, Fie also appeared to talk. Too bad that there were no images, though. Still, Krune was able to relax as he chatted with the two girls. Finally, the energy in the small tower ran out again, and they had to end it there.

Back on the Mortal Realm, Fie looked at the small tower without energy in Feifei's hand. After that, she couldn't help but look at her mother's expression.

"Mom, I know Wally asked to not say anything, but is that really okay?"

If one looked at Fie and Feifei at the moment, one would clearly notice that although their appearance didn't change much, they had a much more mature air around them. It was only when Krune called that those two would change back into their energetic selves.

There was one thing that no one told Krune so far. There is a time discrepancy between the Lower and Higher Realms. Basically, it was an effect of the much more stable Spacetime laws in the Godly Path Realm. Time passed ten times faster in the Lower Realms than it did in the realms above. Krune had been gone for four years... or so he thought. However, the fact was that around 40 years had gone by in the Lower Realms already.

The reason Wally told them to not tell Krune about it was that Krune might try something way too dangerous to try to come back even faster. He explained that descending was an extremely dangerous process, and it had to be prepared with calm. In the end, Feifei decided to keep it a secret from Krune for his sake.

Back then, when Wally sent Krune into the Gate to the Godly Path Realm, Wally sent a Divine Sense message to Luvile just as they were about to pass through it. He advised Luvile that it was best to keep the truth hidden until the day he comes back by himself. Luvile didn't have time to reply to Wally since they entered the Gate right after.

Still, Luvile had to admit that Krune would rush things if he knew, so he kept silent even though he wanted to beat Wally black and blue.

Every time that the tower connected, the time around it would decrease by ten times as well. That's because it was the only way to match both connections and voices. It was a simple modification that wasn't anything complicated for Wally.

The time around Feifei and Fie then accelerated once more as Feifei sighed.

"It's okay. Considering our lifespans, the time your father will stay out is nothing much. Your father's progress is still as frightening as ever. Even though we have Little Arty and ten times his time speed, our cultivation speed is not that much faster than his."

Feifei might have said that. But the fact is that she already spent the other half of her life without seeing Krune. After all, she wasn't that old back when Krune entered the Godly Path Realm. That's also why every time Krune took more than 'one month' to call, Feifei would feel restless. After all, one month was already ten months for her.

Fie then embraced Feifei.

"But of course! The Godly Path Realm is the real thing, after all. Besides, Father was able to evolve his meridians into the Godly Energy ones. Not to mention that all resources born in that place are bound to be much better. Father is the most talented existence we know, so it is not surprising that he is not falling that much behind us even with the disadvantage in time speed."

Feifei smiled as she nodded.

"That's true. Only with the difference in time did we surpass his cultivation speed. However, if we relax even for a moment, he will probably overtake us again. What face will I show him when he finds out that I had so much more time and still had lower cultivation?"

That was the truth. Even with all the advantages in the Godly Path Realm, Krune perks still couldn't make up for the difference in time speed. Feifei and the rest had been lying to him about their real cultivation progress.

At the moment, Feifei was already in the 4th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm! The others didn't stay still either. Fie, as the child of the couple, inherited most of their talents. Thanks to that, Fie was even faster than Feifei when it came to cultivation. If not for the fact that she was a lot younger, she probably would be ahead of Feifei already. At the moment, Fie was in the 1st Stage of the Semi Divinity Realm and quickly approaching Feifei.

However, the most impressive one was the still hidden Dracophoenix, Liriu. His bloodline power might make him even more talented than a Heavenly Race member. He had already entered the 6th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm! At the moment, he surpassed everyone from Krune's group except for Cinty. After all, Cinty was a real Blackhole Divine Soul Owner and had much higher cultivation than anyone else to start with.

Cinty was already a Divine View Realm wisp back when Krune was still in the Mortal Realm. With Little Art's help in keeping the area full of Godly Energy for everyone, it is no wonder that she soared in cultivation speed. At the moment, the Queen of the Wisps has already reached the Divinity Realm!

During the last forty years, the Luvile Universe had finally taken control over its temporary position in the Dalin Universe. Thanks to that, there was a constant flux of talents flowing inside it from there. Taking advantage of that connection, several of Krune's old friends also came to the Wisp Main World, where they began to cultivate in the area prepared by Cinty and Little Arty.

Obviously, Krune's friends' cultivation also began to surge because of that.

However, Feifei and the others knew that it was the calm before the storm.

One must remember that forty years had passed already. That meant that the Frunkan Clan's plan had been progressing all this while. Of course, it was still a secret for everyone in Dalin except for Feifei's little group and the Frunkan Clan itself. The other who arrived later in the Wisp World were kept in the Dark.

Heavin did as he promised and modified his Soul Cultivation Technique so that Little Aty could use it. Since then, Little Arty had been cultivating it. The only problem was that Little Arty was a Spiritual Equipment Spirit. Heavin's Soul Cultivation Technique wasn't as beneficial to him as it was to Krune's group, let alone Heavin himself. Still, it worked, so he had been making his way to the Soul Control Realm ever since.

As mentioned in the past, the idea was to have Little Arty's soul leave the God Equipment and give it to the Frunkan Clan so that they could completely seal Dalin. Of course, as predicted in the past, this plan would definitely take more than a hundred years before it could be put into practice. Not to mention that the Frunkan Clan had to prove to Little Arty that they could definitely achieve it before he gave up his 'home.'

As for Heavin himself, he had already reached the 5th Stage of the Soul Control Realm. As mentioned in the past, his Soul Cultivation technique only has five stages in each realm. He reached that level just 10 years ago, and since then, he had been working on creating the next realms.

Don't forget that the Soul Cultivation Technique was created up to the Soul Control Realm only. If Heavin wanted to progress in cultivation, he must design the next realms first. Obviously, that was easier said than done. After all, he already spent ten years on it and still hasn't finished.

Another thing that happened in the last forty years was the emergence of the Divine Path Sect and the Wang Clan. After all, this was Krune's Sect, so they used his achievements to the best of their abilities. As for the Wang Clan, obviously, they had Feifei, who was Krune's wife. Well... Krune and Feifei still hadn't had a marriage ceremony, though.

Lucio even began to frequent the Wisp Main World at some point to use the Godly Energy himself. He also got to practice the Myriad Energies technique and used the Elemental Path Realm to evolve them to the last form possible in the Mortal Realm. At the moment, the Dalin Universe was a lot more important to the Divine Path Sect than Luvile. It was so much that they opened a new branch in the solar system near the Wisps' one. This branch also had as much importance as the main sect back in Luvile.

The people who knew Lucio and Krune's real relationship would often hear from Lucio's mouth too.

"Hmph! Let's see who will beat who when you are back, brat!"

It was so much that one could say that it had become Lucio's motto. That was his driving power to cultivate like crazy every time he wasn't performing his Sect Master Duties. Lucio was already a 9th Stage Semi-Divinity Realm when Krune left Dalin. Not to mention that he had the same type of Divine Soul as Krune, the Elemental one. With the Godly Energy provided by Little Arty and the Myriad Energies Technique, Lucio successfully stepped inside the Divinity Realm. Not only that, but he was even able to progress up to the 4th Stage!

Of course, many more things are happening that will shock Krune when he comes back.
