Is that a Wisp?

chapter-796
Krune and Feifei quickly came out to talk with everyone. They all congratulated the couple happily. Krune then went to prepare food for everyone since it was a joyous occasion. Just like that, everyone enjoyed the news. While they were eating, Cinty decided to ask something else.
"Now that you two have reached the 9th Stage, are you planning to leave?"
Krune and Feifei nodded.
"We have been here for many years already. It is due time for us to go out and explore. The key of the Mortal Realm is an excellent starting point for us. We don't know what to expect there. That's why we waited until we got to the Peak of the Divinity Realm."
Feifei agreed with Krune."That's correct. However, we need to go somewhere first to grab something back."
Everyone looked at the two, puzzled.
"Take something back?"
It was then that Luvile's voice echoed in everyone's minds.
"It's good that you didn't forget it. Indeed, Krune would need a very long time to get any stronger than he is in the Mortal Realm. There's no point in waiting anymore. It's the perfect time to go take my body back."
Everyone immediately understood. That was something very important for Krune and Luvile, so it made sense.
Cinty then asked."Do you need my help?"
Cinty reached the 9th Stage of the Divinity Realm before everyone else. When Krune was in the 4th Stage, she was already in the 7th. She was much older as well. It went without saying that she would be the first one. Of course, Krune might have passed her if he had gone all out. However, it wouldn't be a good thing for him to rush, just like Luvile had mentioned some time ago.
Well, there was also Liriu, who caught up with her. However, he stayed back in the Luvile Universe with his parents, so he couldn't use Little Arty's Godly Energy.
"No. The Wisp Queen should stay with the Wisps of the Wisp World. That would be for the best."
Cinty nodded and didn't say anything else. She had never gone out on adventures with Krune to start with. She was already used to being the wisp queen. Luo took the opportunity to inquire about something else.
"Then, when are you leaving, grandfather?"
Krune and Feifei smiled before saying.
"We are leaving straight away."
The others were taken aback.
"Eh? What about Fie and the others? Aren't you going to meet them first?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"We have been here for over thirty years, you know? What else is there to be said? Our farewells? It's not like we're leaving forever. I already sent her a message through the communicator as well. She didn't seem to mind."
Shinja asked something else.
"Who are you planning to bring with you for these events?"
Krune and Feifei answered straight away.
"Only Heavin and his Master, Soren. Too many people and demon beasts might not be a good thing."
Shinja was a little disappointed by that, but she understood that her own strength lacked compared to them. It wasn't just a problem of cultivation. Be it Ao, Yusa, or herself, neither of them could display even a portion of Krune and Feifei's power. They might become burdens in this expedition.
"Alright, then. Let's finish eating first."
They quickly finished the meal. Krune and Feifei then bid farewell to those present before opening a Spatial Gate. And just like that, they left the Wisp World behind once again.
Krune and Feifei arrived at the Protection Formation of the Dalin Universe quite quickly. Soon after, Krune used Luvile's power to open a small hole and pass through both the formation and the Universe's natural barrier.
Days passed in a flash before Krune and Feifei arrived in a universe called Tankren. The reason they came here was obvious. Soren had brought Heavin here to train. There wasn't anything special about the place. Soren simply selected this one on a whim. Soren also left behind a way to communicate with Krune if needed.
A few hours after arriving in the Tankren Universe, Krune met with Soren and Heavin.
"Yo! Long time no see."
Soren nodded as he looked at Krune and Feifei.
"It seems like you two decided to continue using the Soul Cultivation Technique. I can see that you're already in the 2nd Stage of the Soul Source Realm. Did the creation of your Mental Energy Source go well?"
Indeed, Krune and Feifei knew that it could take away their chance of reincarnation. However, they decided that they might as well do it. After all, they were planning to leave the Four Realms one day, so they wouldn't be able to reincarnate here anyway.
Krune laughed in response as he said.
"We did, indeed. I hope senior can teach us more about it in the future."
Soren nodded, not minding much.
Feifei then looked at Heavin, who was beside Soren.
"What about Heavin? I can't tell what level his Mental Energy Cultivation has reached."
Heavin then slapped on his Phoenix Puppet's chest as he showed a proud expression.
"I'm the best Mental Energy User of all time. I, your grandfather, have already reached the 5th Stage of the Soul Source Realm."
Kruen and Feifei were shocked by those words.
"Wait! Doesn't that mean you can already ascend to the Godly Path Realm, then?"
Heavin nodded while keeping his proud expression.
"But of course... or so I wanted to say. The truth is that I can't do that just yet. That's because I just recently made this breakthrough."
Soren nodded.
"Soul Cultivation is very similar to normal cultivation in this regard. Even though you reached the 9th Stage of the Divinity Realm, you can't ascend straight away. You must first go from early 9th Stage all the way to the peak. Otherwise, everyone would be forced to ascend as soon as they made the breakthrough."
"Soul cultivation is the same. Heavin needs to cultivate to the peak of the 5th Stage first. Only then can he call forth the Ascension Tribulation. Still, I have to admit, his talent in Soul Cultivation is even higher than mine, the creator. He shouldn't take more than six or seven years to get there."
Krune and Feifei were happy to hear those words. That meant he would reach the peak of the Soul Source Realm more or less at the same time as them reaching the Peak of the Divinity Realm. They would be able to ascend together once that happens.
"That's great!"
"I'm happy for you, Heavin."
After that, Soren changed the topic.
"Now, leaving that aside, you didn't come here just to check how we were doing, right?"
Krune nodded. However, he wasn't the one that was going to do the talking. Instead, Luvile began to talk through a Divine Sense message.
'We are going back to the Luvile Universe first to take my body back. I came here to ask for your help since I'm not sure about the difficulty it poses. After that, the idea is to go take the Mortal Realm Key before ascending.'
Soren's eyes lit up when he heard about the Key of the Mortal Realm.
"So it's finally time. Very well, I'm going with you, then."
Heavin immediately looked at his Soren.
"Master. I'm going as well."
"Obviously! You need to keep training your usage of Mental Energy. You would come even if you didn't want to."
Heavin nodded, satisfied.
"Well, then. You already know the entire situation, so let's leave."
Soren nodded before he and Heavin joined the group and left the Tankren Universe.
Krune's group finally arrived in the Luvile Universe a few days later. First, they went to talk with Lucio since there was a problem with taking Luvile's body back.
"Luvile, the Luvile Universe Tribulations are being carried with your body's Tribulation Lightning. Do you know if something will happen to the Universe if we take it back?"
"I'm not sure. I'm still clueless about how I was sealed into that place."
Lucio gave his opinion.
"You told me before that your body's Tribulation Lightning was being used to save energy, right?"
Luvile confirmed and waited for Lucio to continue.
"In that case, what was the saved energy being used for?"
"This..."
Everyone went silent. Indeed, what could it be? Who was using that energy? Or better yet, was there anyone using that energy to start with?
It was then that Feifei remembered something.
"We can't enter the Luvile Universe's Underworld. Could it be that the energy is being used to seal the passage?"
Krune and the others nodded.
"That's a possibility. However, we confirmed that there was also Purple Tribulation Lightning preventing us from doing so."
Everyone felt like there was something else to this situation.
Lucio mentioned right after.
"I guess your only choice is to ask the Sacred Lands. However, I don't think they'll talk about it willingly."
Everyone nodded. The problem was that the Sacred Lands knew about Luvile's body in the center of the Luvile Universe. Since they didn't try to take it, there might be a reason. Or perhaps they tried but failed. In any case, there was no guarantee that they would simply let them take the body, especially if they knew the reason for it to be there.
Soren then snorted.
"Hmph! So what if they don't want us to take it? Have you guys forgotten about my strength? It won't matter who comes. I can take them all down."
No one doubted that. In fact, Soren could be even stronger. However, he didn't absorb the rest of the Mental Energy Source that Krune brought to the Mortal Realm. Otherwise, he would be forced to ascend as well.
