Is that a Wisp?

Holding Krune in her arms, Feifei looked around, watching all the Black Demons obtain a gender of their own, with a majority of them turning into females. The fact that the Demon Nest birthed Black Demons nonstop played a factor in deciding their genders.

In their instinct, there was a part that wished to produce offspring like the Demon Nest, hence their obtaining of the feminine gender.

Krune then hovered in the air, telling everyone, "Let's be careful and proceed as a group. My Cloud Whale uses the least energy to travel. So, we'll use it once we cross this forest. Hazak will take the lead while the rest will follow her."

Krune then taught the Myriad Energies Technique to everyone, watching their shocked reactions as Godly Meridians formed in their bodies. "The Myriad Energies Technique is the best cultivation technique there is. It also allows us to cultivate the quickest. On top of that, the Godly Meridians it creates is the best type of meridians to exist in the Four Realms."

"Thank you, Sir Krune." Hazak shed tears as she gratefully accepted his teachings, closing her eyes to sense her insides as she watched Godly Meridians form in her body. Immediately once it did, the Spiritual Energy in her Demon Core gushed out, beginning to circulate through the meridians.

As the Spiritual Energy continued to circulate, she felt slightly stronger, also observing that she was able to use her Spiritual Energy better. Of course, the power output was tremendously lacking. After all, this was no longer Layer 2 with the limitless miasma for them to absorb and spam attacks with the greatest effect.

At present, she realized that even after she expended all her Spiritual Energy, her strongest attack using it wouldn't even scratch her body. After all, her current cultivation was only at the First Stage of Qi Condensation.

That wasn't enough to damage a Black Demon.

Carrying Krune, Feifei sat on the Cloud Whale—that spanned 2 meters—and crossed the pond, landing before the thicket of trees. As the Cloud Whale vanished, she began to walk, following Hazak's lead.

Standing beside Hazak was the Seamstress, using their sensory abilities to keep track of everything. Suddenly, Hazak paused, warning them, "There are some beasts before us."

"They're just animals. We have more than enough food reserves for now, so let's just ignore them and continue walking." Krune instructed, having already prepared enough Healing Extract for all their food needs.

After all, once the threat of the Black Demons had been eradicated, Feifei destroyed the labyrinth, causing all the bone trees to wilt instantly and turn into powder that had nothing special going for it.

As for the Monster Geckos, once their blood was sucked in by the bone trees, their flesh was used to produce Healing Extract through Krune's methods. He also used the chance to produce as many Blood Essence Crystals as possible.

Some were potent, while others were too weak to offer any use. Nevertheless, he created them anyway, intending to see if he could use them in Layer 1. At present, every Black Demon was carrying a bag full of the Healing Extract and the Blood Essence Crystals.

Krune and Feifei had discussed accordingly and made use of the Monster Gecko army she had created to monetize them. This way, they'll have enough funds and energy reserves to go about while on Layer 1, being prepared against anything they might have to face next.

For everyone, the Blood Essence Crystals were nothing. Each carried around 5000 Blood Essence Crystals of varying potency, not to mention a large can full of the most concentrated Healing Extract.

So, all in all, they had zero need to hunt for any animals. Of course, no matter how much they hunt, it wouldn't be able to satiate their hunger. Moreover, it would be a waste of time.

And now that Krune knew he had a time limit, he didn't wish to waste any time on things, beginning to circulate Spiritual Energy the moment his Godly Meridians finished forming, thinking to himself, 'The Spiritual Energy here is too sparse to cultivate. We'll have to find major cultivation resources to progress faster. Thankfully, it seems that my energy can be used to supplement Spiritual Energy. That's reassuring.'

He then said to Feifei, "The both of us have a tremendous reserve of energy in us. Since it's possible to convert it into Spiritual Energy, let's set up a haven for cultivation once we understand a bit more about Layer 1."

"I had just finished thinking about it as well," Feifei nodded in response as she replied, patting the wisp, reassuring him. "You've already done it once. So, I'm sure the second time would be a cakewalk. You're also not pressed for any energy since we can use the Healing Extract to supplement our energy needs."

"Wait, I can't eat anything," Krune said in alarm. "A wisp can only consume energy since we have an energy body."

"You don't need to worry about it too much," Feifei replied, dripping a droplet of water on Krune, watching his wisp figure absorb it. "It seems you are able to absorb my healing water since it's a condensation of energy in my Energy Sink."

"I'll replenish your energy every time it gets depleted." Feifei laughed. "There's faint Spiritual Energy in the air. So, I can constantly absorb it as we move and store them in my Energy Sink."

"Besides..." She smirked, pointing at Solare. "He's able to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. With him around, we don't need to ever worry about a lack of energy."

"That's true." Krune laughed in response as their group slowly passed through the thicket of trees, making way as they simply scared away any animal that tried to jump at them, not harming any since there was no reason to do so.

Even if they simply stood silently and allowed the animals to attack them nonstop for days, they still wouldn't suffer any damage. This included Krune as well. Even though he had turned into a wisp, his body still maintained a level of energy density on par with everyone.

His current form simply cannot be compared to his old self at all. Had they tried to harm him, no matter what they did, they would fail to even scratch Krune.
