Is that a Wisp?
chapter-818

With that said, Krune's group then departed from the Kalame Sect Planet. Unsurprisingly, they headed straight to the Sky Shifting Sect after that. Franlia was quite surprised to see Krune so soon. After all, it had only been a few years since he left. One must remember that the Godly Path Realm's Space-Time structure was more stable than the Mortal Realm. Because of that, time passed ten times slower here. The four decades or so that Krune spent in the Mortal Realm was nothing more than four or so years in this place.

"It's good to see you back. Who's this girl?"

Soren and Heavin were not there with Krune. Instead, they left as soon as they arrived in the Sky Shifting Sect with Krune. Soren brought Heavin away to oversee his Soul Cultivation Training. After all, they wouldn't be able to leave before Feifei and Krune had reached the Transformation Realm's 9th stage. That was bound to take them quite a few years.

"I mentioned her before. She's my wife, Feifei."

Feifei smiled before greeting Franlia.

"Hello, senior."

Franlia nodded.

"So that's the wife everyone thought to be just your imagination."

Krune laughed after hearing that. Sure enough, everyone heard him talk about Feifei before. But because Krune never showed her, everyone thought it was him hallucinating.

Feifei didn't seem to mind, though.

"Due to a few circumstances with my family, I couldn't leave my home place. But now I'm free to travel around with Krune again. I was wondering if I could stay in the Sky Shifting Sect for the time being."

Franlia nodded as she replied with a smile.

"Of course! Krune had helped us a lot in the past, so we owe him this much."

Feifei was only a Peak Divinity Realm cultivator at the first Stage of the Transformation Realm. There wasn't much of a risk by letting her stay in the sect to start with. Besides, it was true that the sect owed Krune.

Franlia then looked at the man with purple hair beside Krune. For some reason, she felt that he was somewhat familiar.

"And you are?"

Luvile shook his head in response.

"I'm not anyone important. I'm just accompanying Krune."

Krune sighed before explaining.

"He's also a friend who came with me from my hometown. I hope Sect Master won't complain about him staying here as well."

Franlia narrowed her eyes from those words but nodded her head in the end.

"Very well. Since you don't want to talk about him, I won't ask much either. Feel free to do whatever you want as long as you follow the sect's rules."

Krune smiled, satisfied. Franlia was being quite considerate. After that, he asked something else.

"By the way, where's Iem? Is he still around?"

"He should be in his room cultivating. Well, you already know where it is, so you can just directly head there. In any case, you can stay as long as you want. If you need anything, let me know."

Krune thanked Franlia before leaving with Feifei and Luvile.

"You seem to be quite famous in this sect."

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he answered.

"Many things happened, after all. The Sky Shifting Sect ended up receiving a huge reward from Zule. Obviously, they're in a great mood. In any case, this is a great place for us to cultivate the nine stages of the Transformation Realm."

Feifei agreed with him, saying.

"That's true. Anyway, let's go see this Iem. I've only seen him once during the broadcast of the Heavenly Competition."

Krune and Feifei then darted in the direction of Iem's house. There, Krune touched the protection formation of the house before it turned off on its own. In an instant, a voice came from inside the house.

"Who's there?"

A Mental Energy Scan came from inside, quickly covering Feifei and Krune.

"Ah!"

In the next second, a man appeared outside while laughing.

"Hahaha! It's you, Krune! Good to see you ag-"

Before Iem could finish his words, another voice came from inside Iem's foundation.

"Luvile! You got your body back?!"

Sure enough, Devil Flame God, Harold, noticed Luvile's presence straight away.

"Hahaha! I was a little lucky. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your body back soon. No, wait! I forgot your body got destroyed. Sorry, sorry. Your much more powerful brother should have been more considerate of you. Forget that I said anything."

Harold felt like someone had stepped on his head.

"Are you that eager to die?"

Luvile snorted in response.

"Die? How do you intend to kill this god? No, wait! You can't! You're too weak. You don't even have a B-O-D-Y! Hahaha!"

"You...You!"

Black flames began to emanate out of Iem's body.

"Lend me your body, Iem. I'll teach this piece of shit a lesson. I'll make sure he won't have a body anymore after I'm finished with him."

Krune and Iem bitterly smiled in response. Those two really hate each other to the bone.

Luvile didn't step back from the fight as Purple Tribulation Lightning came out of his body.

"Ha! I very much want to see if you can do that. Let's see if my body gets destroyed or if Iem's body will succumb first."

Just as the two were about to get serious, an angry voice came from Luvile's pendant.

"Shut up, you two! You better stop it right now, or don't blame me for getting nasty later."

Harold's Devil Flames instantly disappeared as soon as he heard that voice.

"Ci-Cinnia!"

Luvile narrowed his eyes, but he also calmed down.

Cinnia saw that the two of them stopped using their powers.

"For fuck's sake! How much time has passed already? You two are still at it even up to now. What would your parents think if they saw you two like that? Harold, are you planning to get your host destroyed? Luvile, are you that dissatisfied with your body that you don't care what happens to it?"

Luvile and Harold instantly went silent, much to Krune, Feifei, and Iem's surprise. For some reason, those two didn't even dare refute Cinnia's words. Eventually, Harold obtained some courage and said.

"Ahem... It was him who started it, not me."

Luvile immediately answered.

"What does that have to do with me if you get triggered so easily? You clearly have some mental issues."

Cinnia finally lost her patience.

"I see... So you two insist on continuing this play, huh? Very well, how about we reminisce a few things from the past in front of our friends here? Let me see... Oh, right! Let's talk about that day when Luvile and Harold went to a Hellish Water Canyon."

Luvile and Harold felt like a bomb had gone off in their heads the very moment they heard her mention that name. Without wasting time, Luvile stepped back in his actions.

"Ahem... my beloved Cinnia. I was wrong. I won't argue with Harold any more. I believe Harold is more than willing to get along with me as well, right?"

Harold couldn't agree more.

"Yes, yes! Sister-in-law, this little dispute between us is just how we show our brotherly love for each other. We aren't angry at all! Am I right, my beloved brother Luvile?"

Luvile nodded his head vigorously, not minding Harold's words at all.

"Definitely! We couldn't be happier to see each other once again. I was truly worried about him."

Krune, Feifei, and Iem's mouths twitched as they listened to their words. Just what the hell happened in the Hellish Water Canyon? They were almost dying to know.

In any case, Cinnia was satisfied with their answer.

"Is that so? Well, I guess I can pretend I didn't see anything. You don't really hate each other, right?"

"Right!"

"Of course!"

"That's good, then. Now, let's get back to the main topic. By the way, are we going to stay here outside?"

Iem quickly came back to himself before laughing.

"Hahaha! Of course not! Please. Come in, come in."

Feifei and Krune looked at each other for a bit before entering Iem's house in the sect. Luvile also did the same while showing a bright smiling face. If Harold had a body right now, he would be smiling as much as Luvile. At least, he would do so in front of Cinnia.

Iem then looked at Krune's cultivation and said.

"It seems like your cultivation didn't lag behind just because you were in the Mortal Realm. Also, I can see that you and this lady here have Heavenly Cores now."

Krune nodded.

"Indeed. But first, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Feifei."

Feifei shook hands with Iem.

"Nice to meet you. Krune told me a lot of things about you."

Iem laughed as he replied.

"Hehe! Well, we did go through many things together here in the Godly Path Realm."

After that, Krune explained.

"As you mentioned, we did get to complete our Heavenly Cores. It wasn't that difficult with our actual power and the Godly Stones available for trade."

Iem already imagined as much.

"That's true. Now, then. Congratulations on getting your body back, Senior Luvile."

Luvile nodded as he perfunctorily replied.

"Thanks."

After that, both parties began to talk about what happened while they were out. Well, most of the things happened on Krune's side since very little time passed in the Godly Path Realm. Eventually, Krune told Iem about the Runestone he got from Barlo back in the Mortal Realm.

"What?! We can head straight to the God Realm?! That's great!"

Even Harold was surprised by that.

"As expected of a Primordial Demon Beast, I guess?"

Iem became even more eager to cultivate now.

"I'm already in the 2nd Stage of the Transformation Realm. Naturally, I'm going with you when the time comes. I can't wait to see what kind of place the God Realm is."

Krune's group nodded in response. Soon, Krune said with an eager smile.

"Of course! That's why we came here to talk. Let's focus on our cultivation from now on."
