Is that a Wisp?

"This is troubling." Krune frowned as he riled up all the Godly Energy in both his dantians, struggling to break through. No matter what he did, he failed to reach the Nascent God Realm. He had thought that since he had obtained enough experience, he wouldn't face any blocks in his cultivation path until he became an immortal.

But here it was, preventing him from even reaching the Nascent God Realm. Though, he noticed that the reason he was unable to reach the Nascent God Realm wasn't due to his lacking experience, enlightenment or anything of the sort.

Instead, it stemmed from a core reason, one that soured his mood upon realization.

It was because he was a wisp!

Wisps were naturally ungifted towards cultivation. Rather, they were defective beings. The fact that Krune managed to reach such a stage was already something worthy of praise. But now, the defects in his nature prevented him from proceeding beyond his current realm.

It had been three years since he obtained a Cultivation Lotus for his personal use. And, he had tried to break through to the Nascent God Realm all that time, constantly failing to do so.

Now that he had wasted a lot of time futilely trying to breakthrough, Krune sighed, giving up on working alone as he approached Feifei, asking, "I'm unable to breakthrough. Can you find the reason as to why using your Spiritual Incarnation?"

"Let me try," Feifei said as she riled up her Godly Energy, casting a beam onto him as mysterious symbols floated in the air. "Return to your wisp form. I'll only be able to figure out the details after that."

Once Krune returned to his wisp form, Feifei was able to notice something, beginning to mumble something as she was calculating and boring deeper into his secrets, trying to find the source of his trouble and intending to figure out a solution.

She constantly worked in probing him for three days before sighing in the end, having exhausted all her Godly Energy reserves, telling him, "I figured out the cause. It's because there are some impurities in your Wisp Core. This is related to the defective nature of wisps."

"How do I solve this issue?" Krune asked, feeling a bit worried about being unable to grow in strength. However, once he remembered Wally, he realized that there was indeed a solution. All he had to do was just find it.

Once he understood that, he calmed down, watching Feifei calculate something for a long time.

After some time, she broke out of her thoughts, saying, "You'll need to refine your Wisp Core and remove all the impurities that make you defective. However, simply doing that would only lead to your death. So, you must replace it with something to stabilize your Core. The greater the quality of this substance, the longer it'll keep you stabilized. Otherwise, for every breakthrough into a higher realm, you would have to repeat this process that'll get riskier for every consecutive attempt."

"How do I refine my core?" Krune was confused. After all, this refinement wasn't something related to forging at all. Otherwise, he would have figured out something by now.

"Basically, you'll have to plunge yourself into places rich with elemental laws. Fire, Water, and Wind elemental laws are the three laws necessary to help you. Also, these places should have a concentration of the laws around the Primal God Realm level. Plus, they should be wholly pure. Otherwise, you'll simply end up taking damage," Feifei told him.

"As for the refinement process, as long as you subject yourself to these laws while attempting to breakthrough, the impurities would be ejected automatically while the respective law in the place would help fill up the vacuum. Once you have refined your Wisp Core enough, you'll automatically reach the Nascent God Realm," Feifei concluded. "With the Cultivation Lotus in your subspace, you won't be lacking the Godly Energy necessary to breakthrough."

"But, where will I find such a place?" Krune frowned as he thought about it. "Even the danger zones aren't like this since they're Land Incarnations, containing a lot of laws. A place with only one law probably doesn't exist...I think."

"I'm unsure about this as well." Feifei sighed after mulling over it. "I'll look into it further and tell you if I manage to find something."

"Alright." Krune vanished from the place, roaming through the Mountain Sect when he thought of something, approaching Zamura as he expressed his needs.

"I have never seen such a place myself. But..." Zamura said after some thought, "Gegrafikan should know something about it. I've been observing him for the past three years. He has filled a tremendous volume of information in our sect library. At present, more than 40 percent of the information is from him, and it's continuing to increase as we speak. It's apparent that he knows a lot of things. Probably he's the most knowledgeable of us all. Ask him about this."

"Thanks, I'll ask him next," Krune said in response, using his subspace to arrive at the residential district, gazing at a villa to see Tina sitting on the lawn, sewing something using some of the flowers she had picked up from the garden.

She was pregnant, smiling from time to time as she was lazing around. The moment Krune approached the villa gate, Tina sensed him, waving her hand once to open the gates, saying, "Welcome, Krune. Why did a busy individual like you appear here?"

"I've come to consult Gegrafikan about something," Krune replied, surprised the moment he set foot within the villa's laws, noticing the spike of Godly Energy in the place. It was apparent that Tina had changed the place to suit Gegrafikan's cultivation needs.

After all, even the walls were layered with crystals rich in Godly Energy. Due to her power and abilities, Tina was already given the title of an Elder. She was in charge of the logistics of the Sect now, also commanding power on par with an immortal once she understood her abilities further.

As for Gegrafikan, he quickly rose through the ranks to become a Core Disciple. Once he became an immortal, he would become an Elder right away as his contribution points were close to the requirements.

"Please head inside. He's buried himself under a pile of books that he's preparing to be placed in the library." Tina laughed. "Honestly, it's shocking to see just how much he knows."

"Thank you." Krune nodded and entered the villa, immediately hearing incessant scratching sounds that were grating to the ears. In fact, the sounds were too irritating to bear as Krune understood the reason Tina was sitting on the lawn.

She couldn't bear the sounds.
