Is that a Wisp?
chapter-813

Barlo then looked at Krune before throwing something in his direction.

Krune extended his hand and grabbed it. It was a runestone. Krune rarely ever used them, especially after reaching his level. Nevertheless, he could recognize it straight away. However, he could sense a tremendous amount of power coming from inside it.

'No, it isn't just power. There are also Spatial Laws present on it. It's just that these Spatial Laws... Aren't they too similar to Zule's? What is this thing?'

Krune looked at Barlo with a puzzled expression.

"Senior Barlo, what's this for?"

Barlo then explained.

"This is something I got back in the God Realm. Has Luvile ever told you about the gigantic phenomenon in the sky of the God Realm?"

Krune nodded. Of course, he knew of it. That was the only way out of the Four Realms. It was also why the Lokrathos Universe was destroyed since its foundation had one of its exit keys. The fact was that Krune probably knew more about it than Barlo himself.

"I know. What about it?"

Barlo continued.

"That makes things faster. I found this runestone close to it. I thought I was quite lucky back then to find this treasure. However, I just couldn't figure out what it was even after researching it for many years. It was then that the Unigan Universe called me in the God Realm. Without any choice, I had to go down once again. Well, you know the story. I lost conscience, and when I woke up again, everything was already over."

"However, it was just a little bit after I woke up that I found that this stone was no treasure. Well, at least it wasn't a treasure for anyone in the God Realm."

Krune became puzzled.

"What's this, then?"

Barlo smiled before saying.

"This runestone is directly connected to the God Realm's Spatial Laws somehow. Simply put, it can open a passage directly to the God Realm without the need of having the necessary cultivation to ascend."

Krune felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard that. However, he didn't doubt Barlo's words. After all, he could indeed feel Zule's Primordial Kun-Peng's Spatial Powers inside. He just didn't expect that this runestone had such power.

"This... Why are you giving me this?"

Barlo sighed as he answered.

"That's because I went to see the place where the Unigan Universe was before. As you know, once a Universe is destroyed, its remnants become the base of a new Universe. However, that Universe there wasn't Unigan anymore. It has been so long that the new Universe has already stabilized and even has its own living beings all around."

"That said, I simply have nothing more to do in this Mortal Realm. I decided that I'm going back to the God Realm after I finish talking with you."

Krune still didn't understand.

"That doesn't explain why you're giving me this."

Barlos scratched the back of his head.

"Can't you understand? This is my way of saying thank you."

"Thank you? But I didn't do anything."

"Of course you did! It was because of you that I was finally free from the seal in the Luvile Universe. If you didn't help Luvile all the way, who knows how much longer I would have to wait. Maybe I would really stay there forever, never knowing as to what happened outside."

Barlo continued.

"When I first got out, I didn't have a head to think about anything else. But this last year made me think about a lot of things. In any case, I understood that I never got to thank you for the help you gave me, even if it wasn't your intention. That being said, I remembered this runestone I got in the God Realm. It's useless for anyone in the God Realm. After all, we don't need it to ascend again. Still, it's a huge treasure for those below, so just take it. It's not like I'm losing anything from this. If you still think you can't accept it, then just take it as payment for the communicator you gave me."

Krune couldn't help but swallow a bit of saliva. Just how much effort would this runestone save him? Of course, he had to prepare many things before using the runestone. For example, other than him, Luvile, and Soren, the others would be crushed by the extremely high concentration of Godly Energy of that place. He would need to discuss it with Luvile and the others first.

"Senior, I will accept this gift. It's quite important for me."

Barlo nodded, not minding it too much.

"Oh, right! This runestone can only be used one more time. It had two charges before, but I used one to test it out. That was quite a waste."

Finally, he decided to leave.

"Well, then. I guess I'm going back now. May we meet again in the God Realm someday."

Before Krune could even say anything, Barlo released his suppressed cultivation in a single go. Immediately, the pressure around Krune had increased several times, and that was while Barlo wasn't doing anything at all. That was just the cultivation's pressure of someone from the God Realm.

The moment that happened, the Luvile Universe seemed to awake from a long slumber as a roar echoed in everyone's mind. Not a single being in the Luvile Universe couldn't hear it. Naturally, the Sacred Lands and the rest of the Universe were alarmed by that, not knowing what was happening.

Krune then saw how the space around Barlo began to crack and break apart on its own. As expected, the Luvile Universe couldn't hold that existence. It was too powerful for its lacking foundation. The roar everyone heard was basically the heavens of the Luvile Universe screaming in pain.

Soon after, Spatial Laws began to gather around Barlo as an enormous suction power pulled him over. Following that, something that looked like a Spatial Gate appeared. It's just that Krune didn't feel Spiritual Energy from it, but Godly Energy instead. It was Godly Energy that far surpassed the Godly Path Realm's energy by far.

'Senior Barlo's cultivation is still at the level of the God Realm, so he's being sent straight there.'

Barlo didn't try to resist it, not because he wouldn't be able to do so. Soon, Barlo disappeared inside the Spatial Gate. Krune didn't try to get close. He knew that anyone uninvited would be smashed by the God Realm's Laws. Finally, Barlo was gone, and so was the gate. Only then did the Luvile Universe's heavens calm down once again.

Krune then looked at the runestone in his hand with an excited expression. It was an unexpected reward to him. Without wasting time, he opened a Spatial Gate and left the area. It wouldn't be long before others came to investigate what happened.

Back in the Divine Path Sect, Krune immediately sent a message to Luvile and Soren. Soren told him to not bother him unless it was really important. However, Krune couldn't think about anything more important than this right now. Of course, he also called Feifei and Heavin.

As one could imagine, everyone was puzzled by Krune's sudden urgency, so they came back as fast as they could. Krune also invited his master so that he could give his opinion. Not too long after, the six of them were gathered. Well, seven if you consider Cinnia's Soul inside Luvile's pendant.

Soren, obviously, was the last one to arrive since he wasn't even in the Luvile Universe anymore when he received the message. As one could imagine, he had a dark expression. Soren just told Krune and Feifei some time ago to not contact him unless extremely necessary. But there he was, stopping Heavin's training once again. Worst of all, it didn't look like Krune was in any danger whatsoever.

"You better have a good reason to call us back. Otherwise, don't think you'll escape with just a beating."

Krune couldn't help but sweat a little. Soren totally had the power to fulfill his words.

"Ahem... Don't worry, Senior Soren. I'm sure you will find this reason satisfactory enough."

Luvile was also curious and a little afraid since Krune was close to his breakthrough.

"Could it be that the Mortal Realm is going to explode?"

"Fuck you! There's nothing here that's going to explode."

Feifei and Heavin couldn't hold their curiosity anymore.

"Just tell us already. You're killing us with all this suspense."

Krune nodded as he brought out the runestone Barlo gave him. Soren, Heavin, Feifei, and Cinnia didn't find anything strange with it other than the enormous power inside. However, Luvile immediately recognized the energy of the Spatial Laws on it.

"This... Is it something related to Zule?"

Krune smiled before nodding.

"Yes. Senior Barlo gave it to me before he left the Luvile Universe for the God Realm."

Cinnia then understood.

"Oh! So that's why the Luvile Universe suddenly acted like that. Barlo released his cultivation to be sent back to the God Realm."

"Exactly."

Krune continued.

"In any case, he gave me this runestone, as for what it can do..."

Krune then explained what Barlo told him about the runestone. Sure enough, everyone in the room was taken aback. That was a runestone that could open a passage directly to the God Realm without the need to cultivate or undergo an ascension tribulation.

"Are you sure it can do that?"

Krune shook his head as he replied.

"I'm not. But I don't think Senior Barlo has a reason to lie either. Besides, Zule's power is indeed inside this thing."

Luvile agreed with Krune.

"My thoughts are the same. The question now is what we're going to do with it."
