Is that a Wisp?
chapter-699

It was the first time Krune saw Luvile being reprimanded like a kid. Well, that's to be expected. After all, how many cultivators or demon beasts were older than him?

"Zule, you said you would need to leave straight away. What if you bring others with you?"

Zule shook his head.

"Do you remember the Foundation Space in my Demon Core? Can the people and beasts there leave?"

Krune shook his head and thought about another issue.

"I understand what you mean. We can't exit since we are connected to the Four Realms. However, there is a problem here. If we can't leave because of this connection, what's the point in opening the Four Doors that lead outside?"

Zule then explained.

"Don't worry. As long as your cultivation reaches the level of a god, that link can't do anything to you."

Luvile then asked Zule.

"Does that mean you could bring Harold and me out with you?"

Zule shook his head.

"For me to do that, you two would need to recover your full power again. Obviously, that would take a very long time."

Luvile wasn't surprised by that answer. He only asked that out of curiosity.

"I see. However, something tells me that you have no intention of waiting here for us to recover or for Krune and Iem to reach the God level."

Zule nodded.

"I can't wait anymore. Do you remember what Krune said? There is a reason for the existence of the Four Realms. I feel like this is not something good. I need to go out and find out what it is. Otherwise, it might be too late by the time you guys reach a level high enough to do step out."

Zule then sighed as he thought.

"I can already see the hurdles ahead. My Silver Core is almost destroyed, and I lost a big part of my own Soul. I wonder how long it will take for me to recover."

It was then that Iem thought about something else.

"What will happen to the cultivators and demon beasts in the Foundation Space? They are also part of your Foundation, so letting them exit would affect you as well."

Zule agreed with Iem.

"That's true. However, there is no need to worry. The reason they want to escape is that my Foundation will eventually collapse if it is kept unattended. However, once I wake up and take the reins, I will immediately stabilize and start to recover it. Obviously, no one inside will need to be afraid of dying because of the collapse anymore."

Krune couldn't help but say in response.

"I still don't like the idea of keeping everyone inside trapped like that. If they didn't know that there was an outside world, it wouldn't be that bad. But since they know..."

Zule shrugged his shoulders.

"I really can't do much about it. My Foundation is already in that state that you saw. If I allow everyone to leave as well, it will be affected even further."

Krune sighed and nodded.

"Alright. However, Franlia helped us quite a lot to reach this point. You must at least leave something for her and the Sky Shifting Sect."

Zule didn't mind and replied.

"That's not a problem. Living beings leaving my Foundation will affect me more gravely than resources."

Zule then focused his mind on Kun-Peng's body. To be more specific, it was his Foundation Space. Without anyone noticing, several resources that were extremely rare in the outside world disappeared from the Foundation Space.

"I used one of your Spatial Rings. Check it."

Krune was surprised to hear that. He immediately took out the Spatial Ring Zule mentioned and took a look inside.

"This..."

There were so many resources inside that it would make any of the three sects cry out of happiness.

"Just give it to Franlia. This should help her build her Sect's strength for the next thousands of years or so. As long as she plays her cards right, she will eventually overcome the other two sects."

Krune smiled after hearing that.

"Hey, what about Krune and me?"

Obviously, the one who asked was Iem. However...

"Weren't you the guy who tried to run away from me before? How come you're asking for something now?"

Back then, Iem didn't want to have anything to do with Zule since he was a Peak Nascent Stars Level Equipment. He even tried to escape without Krune and Zule noticing. In the end, Zule had to put a marker on him and threaten to tell others about his Heavenly Core. Only then did Iem accept his fate and stuck together.

"Ahem... Ancestor Zule, this lowly one was wrong. Such a benevolent Kun-Peng like you wouldn't really take it to heart, right? An ant-like me is not worthy of your contempt."

Shameless! That's what everyone thought after seeing that scene.

"Alright, stop that. You're making me want to puke."

Zule then focused on Kun-Peng's body once more before retrieving a few more things from it.

"For a wisp and a cultivator at your level, the best resource would definitely be Top Quality Spirit Stones. I just gave you all of the ones that grew around my body during these years while I've been hibernating."

Krune and Iem's eyes lit up as they checked their Spatial Rings. There, they found around five thousand Top Quality Spirit Stones! For lone cultivators like them, that number was astronomical. More than enough to bring them all the way to the peak of the Nascent God Realm! Even Krune couldn't help but follow Iem's words.

Krune and Iem kneeled together and said in unison.

"Oh great Zule, these lowly ones shall forever be grateful."

Zule's mouth twitched.

"Fuck you! Do you want me to take the Spirit Stones back?"

Krune and Iem were not inside the sphere of Purple Lightning and Black Flames. That being said, Dudo and Mala could still see them.

"What are they kneeling for?"

"Shush! Just pretend you didn't see anything."

In the end, Krune laughed out loud and continued to talk with his Divine Sense.

"Hahaha! That's the Zule I know. You have been acting like some old sage ever since you recovered your memories. However, this Zule is a lot better."

Iem agreed.

"Indeed. That serious Zule was giving me goosebumps."

Zule was taken aback for a second. Indeed, these two guys' actions had made him forget about all the shit happening around for a moment. He couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Ahem... alright, let's stop it here. Is there anything else you would like to ask? If not, then it is time for me to say goodbye."

Luvile immediately interjected.

"You still haven't told us where we can find the other two keys. Also, you need to explain to us how to use them."

Zule nodded.

"The remaining hidden keys are the God Realm and Mortal Realm ones. The first one is in a Universe called Lokrathos in the Mortal Realm. It's inside a hidden Dimensional Realm near the supermassive black hole at the center of that universe. However, the power of a Divinity Realm is far from enough to open it. You will need at least the power of a Mortal Rejection Realm if you want to break into it."

Krune nodded.

"As long as I reach the Peak of the Divinity Realm, I should be able to bring out a power similar to a Mortal Rejection Realm wisp."

Krune didn't say how since there were a few things that Zule, Iem, and Harold didn't know. For example, he had never talked to them about the real Myriad Energies Technique. One should remember that Krune's Meridians had evolved into Godly Ones. With that kind of advantage and Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning, Krune would be able to do that.

Zule knew that Krune wouldn't say something like this if he wasn't confident.

"Very well."

Right after, he used his Divine Sense to send the exact location of that Dimensional Realm to Krune and the others.

Seeing that, Harold then commented.

"Luvile. Since you are going back with the wisp back to the Mortal Realm, I'll leave the collection of that Key up to you."

Luvile and Harold might not like each other very much. However, their desire to exit the Four Realms was the same.

"Alright."

Krune then asked something else.

"Should I be careful with anything about that Dimensional Realm?"

Zule pondered a bit before shaking his head.

"There shouldn't be anything other than the anti-detection measures I left behind. However, that Dimensional Realm is still close to the supermassive black hole, so you better be careful."

Krune nodded and went into the next part.

"What about the second remaining key?"

Zule then sent the location straight away.

"As Luvile and Harold know, the God Realm is different from the other Realms. It is not filled with several universes. Instead, it has the format of a dome. Of course, this dome is ridiculously massive. At the very top of the dome is where you can find the exit. As for the last Key, it is hidden near the final door."

Krune and the others looked into the information of that Divine Sense message and immediately understood everything.

"Quite smart. Without you saying, no one would think about looking for the Key in that place."

Zule smiled after hearing that.

"Right? Anyway, there is an invisible protective barrier in that place as well. However... I can't remember how to open that place. This is one of the gaps in my memory thanks to the Soul Fragments that have already perished. You will need to rely on yourselves to open that."

Krune and the others nodded. In any case, that was something for them to care about far in the future.

Still, Zule noticed that Krune seemed to be thinking about something.

"Do you want to ask me something?"

Krune nodded.

"Why didn't you tell the old gods about the keys? I mean, you knew Luvile and Harold's parents, right? You also had a lot more subordinates during that time. How come they didn't try to escape?"

Luvile and Harold's attention were immediately piqued. Indeed, why would he only say it now?
