Is that a Wisp?
chapter-878

"…Dad?" the voice asked through sending Godly Energy. Though, before Krune could feel joy at saving the demon beast baby, he noticed something odd about their connection. It felt…way too close.

Moreover, the baby's voice resounded non-stop after that. "Mom? Brother? Sister? Only Krune?"

"What the…" Krune stared as the baby completed his sentence.

"…heck?"

It was then that he noticed the issue, recalling the words of the Primal God from before. While he was saving the demon beast baby, he placed its body in his ethereal form, treating it as a cocoon that would help nurture the baby and prevent it from dying.

In this case, due to numerous reasons where he had kept every law he had ever comprehended active, that established the first condition. Even though the laws he had kept active were just the Calamity and Balance Law, since they were a collection of every law in existence, as long as he kept them active, it meant he was using all the laws—his laws.

The second was the fact that all of them were directed at the baby. And, when it absorbed all his laws, he had achieved the second condition. As for the final condition, it was achieved when the baby's body transformed into an energy form as it synchronized with himself.

Normally, this was bound to be done in his body. But, Wisps had no body, only a core. So, through an uncountable number of factors at play, most of which he was unsure about, the baby had become part of his body in a way as a result, finally achieving through sheer luck what he had set out to achieve since long ago.

Spiritual Incarnation!

The baby was his Spiritual Incarnation. Normally speaking, Spiritual Incarnations were a concept derived from a collection of laws the cultivator had comprehended and were meshed together in a certain way.

But in Krune's case, not only was his Spiritual Incarnation not part of him, it was also sentient. His Spiritual Incarnation was alive. Irrespective of who it might be, none of them possessed a Spiritual Incarnation like him, an incarnation that had its own sentience.

Krune and the baby were two in one. The only difference was the fact the baby looked like him, but younger with all his memories and experiences. They had shared thoughts, but the difference was in their emotional maturity.

Krune was at his usual self while the baby had the emotional maturity of a baby. That was the only difference.

The moment it was formed, the baby fused with his Wisp Core and made the core a part of itself. Now, even if his Wisp Core was shattered, Krune wouldn't die. He would easily revive later thanks to the laws forming his Spiritual Incarnation.

The more he thought about it, the more he began to learn the functions of the Spiritual Incarnation. It was a strange feeling. It seemed like he was encountering it for the first time, but it also seemed like he had known of it from the start.

This was the first time Krune felt as close with himself. The baby first had a demon beast form, the same that it had when it possessed a fleshly body. Then, it changed itself to match a baby version of his human form, though just in shape. It was ethereal in nature.

The moment the baby fused into his Wisp Core, Krune grasped the basics of what his Spiritual Incarnation allowed him to do.

It was related to the Wisps. The baby Krune was basically a Wisp, another him. He now possessed two minds to think and operate. As they shared thoughts, they were perfectly in sync.

This was different from the Mind Splitting Technique. There, his total thinking capacity was still at the same level. He was only splitting his focus into multiple places and maintained them without losing concentration.

Now, he had two actual minds to think and brood over stuff. On top of that, he could use the Mind Splitting Technique on both minds. This was the same as attaching wings to a tiger.

The baby Krune was also able to cultivate, just like him. The only thing that hindered its cultivation was his own cultivation base. The maximum cultivation it could reach was Krune's current cultivation base.

Once Krune improved his cultivation, he would be able to cultivate once again. So, this gave Krune twice the amount of Godly Energy he normally possessed. It was a major advantage, the likes that would give him an edge over others when he visited places like the Immortal Suppression Zone once again.

This was just the base advantage the baby Krune gave him. As for the actual effects, it left Krune at a loss for words, making him wonder just how it was possible.

In the case he unleashes his Land Incarnation, a certain area around him would transform and be shaped by the laws he had unleashed. These laws would alter the land while pushing out all the other laws active in the surroundings.

Not only that, but once his Land Incarnation became active, it would absorb energy from Heaven and Earth to produce Pseudo-Wisps. In other words, copies of himself.

Therefore, the moment Krune unleashed his Land Incarnation, he would be able to create Pseudo-Wisps en masse. They weren't wisps in the actual sense but were sacks of energy modeled after him. Surprisingly, they possessed his Godly Meridians and were also able to cultivate.

Then again, Wisps were a topic of taboo in the God Realm, whether they were real or fake. So, creating Wisps like this was a death sentence. Moreover, it wasn't in his character to create Wisps...in the case where he was actually able to do so.

Though, this was where another of his Spiritual Incarnation's abilities surfaced. His Spiritual Incarnation was created by fusing all the laws into it, so the inherent effect they created allowed Krune to change the body structure of the Pseudo-Wisps he produced.

In other words, he could disguise them as equipment spirits easily. But in essence, they were still Pseudo-Wisps, lifeless copies of himself. The collection of laws they were comprised of prevented people from sensing their true forms. They were Wisps in nature, but if Krune wished to make them resemble humans, demon beasts, or any other living being there was, it was doable.

Moreover, all these Pseudo-Wisps were capable of cultivating. As long as Krune had enough Godly Energy, he could create an army of Pseudo-Wisps disguised as equipment spirits or even True Spirits. He realized the laws concerning the field of Spirit Awakeners formed a base structure in his Spiritual Incarnation, making him capable of achieving this with ease.

The spatial laws and the variations to these laws condensed in his Wisp Core to form an incredibly stable subspace. In this place, Krune was able to store all the Pseudo-Wisps he would create in the future. Moreover, the environment within would become more and more habitable as he comprehended the laws further.

As his understanding of the laws increase, the subspace in him would grow bigger and turn into a self-sustainable world. At the moment, the space within was only less than a cubic meter. This was the volume he could currently achieve with his comprehension of the spatial laws in the God Realm.

His Land Incarnation, when unleashed, absorbed massive quantities of Godly Energy from the surroundings to create the Pseudo-Wisps. Even if it took some time to do so and needed to absorb a lot of Godly Energy from the surroundings, their functions outweighed their downsides by large.

Their function here was to act as packets of energy to be used for cultivation. As they were copies of himself, copies that had his internal body structure, as a Wisp, Krune was easily able to absorb them to cultivate. On top of that, this process was faster than just using God Stones to cultivate.

Moreover, it was free. The natural energy in the God Realm was equivalent to a Rank One God Stone. Normally, cultivating using Rank One God Stones was inefficient when compared to higher quality God Stones.

But for Krune, it meant a free supply of Godly Energy for his use. Even his copies were capable of cultivation. As long as he allowed them to cultivate for a long enough time, the quality of Godly Energy amassed in them would eventually surpass a Rank One God Stone and go beyond.

Also, the longer the time the copies cultivated, the higher the quality of Godly Energy stored in them. Moreover, Krune could just store them in his subspace. When he needed to replenish his energy, he could just absorb one of them.

Since they would be stored in his subspace, a place where he had the highest control and was within his Wisp Core, he could replenish his energy by absorbing them instantaneously. He didn't even need to take out anything and expose his cards.

Moreover, Krune realized that as long as he changed their structure to resemble an equipment spirit, the respective equipment spirit could also absorb the Pseudo-Wisp to cultivate. This saved Krune all the costs in supporting an equipment spirit's cultivation in the future when he obtained some.

'I guess…' Krune gazed at the sky, sighing as he thought to himself, 'From now on, money has no value to me anymore.'

Krune soon changed into his human form, closing his eyes as he sensed the changes in his body. He was currently brimming with power. At present, he was only in the Second Stage of the God Foundation Realm. Though in reality, no cultivator in the God Core Realm was his opponent anymore.

Also, unlike Yuric's Spiritual Incarnation that was effect-based, Krune's incarnation was accumulation-based. Therefore, the longer he spent time accumulating his strength, the more terrifying he would become.

"In other words..." He unleashed a long breath as all the tension in him flowed away. "I'll eventually turn into a one-man army."

"I guess I'll just call you Little Krune for now." Krune sensed the baby Krune sleeping within his Wisp Core. From now on, no damage to his body or even Wisp Core mattered. Even death was of no consequence. After all, if even a fragment of Little Krune remained, Krune would be able to revive eventually. Of course, the cultivators and demon beasts of the God Realm with Spiritual Incarnations had similar advantages. That being said, they also had their own way of dealing with this issue. The prison just before was one of them.

The injury to his Godly Meridians he had received while saving the baby was healed in an instant. Healing it took him zero effort. Such was the might of a cultivator with a Spiritual Incarnation.

Krune realized another shocking fact that excited him. Little Krune could basically split itself into numerous portions and inhabit his copies. This way, all his copies would be able to fight or do other tasks. Then again, this action had a lot of limits and was dependent on his cultivation base. Nevertheless, it meant that as he became stronger, he could control numerous copies of himself to multi-task.

When one also considered their shared thoughts, their teamwork would be flawless.

Krune wished to create copies of himself to absorb and store some Godly Energy. But unfortunately, he sensed that the threat from before was about to reach him. He didn't have enough time.

Also, for some reason, Krune was no longer able to sense the presence of Little Cally. He got up, dusted himself, and jumped onto the carcass of a demon beast nearby as he said, "I guess we have no other choice but to greet our friend."

Yulian landed beside him, acting the moment Krune appeared in his line of sight. He then noticed Krune gaze towards a certain direction with a smile, following it as he noticed a figure of the man with a crown flying towards them.
