Is that a Wisp?

"Anyway, are you coming or not? If not, then forget it. I'll go back to the sect and ask Tulike to do it for me."

Iem pondered a bit and then asked.

"Is that new technique really as good as you said?"

Krune nodded.

"How do you think I can cultivate at this speed without a full Heavenly Core like yours? Stop doubting me, and let's go to the tribulation field again."

Iem scratched the back of his head and gave up.

"Fine. However, aren't you going back to the Mortal Realm? How do you expect me to watch over for your next breakthroughs?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

"I don't know. I know I will have to ascend once again. However, I have no idea where I will end up to. Chances are that I will land in a completely different Universe. After all, only the God Realm is not divided by several universes. Still, I will get a cultivation level big enough to travel between universes sooner or later. Once that time arrives, I'll come to pay you a visit. Besides, I already got all of the Universal Maps available in the Sky Shifting Sect. I should be able to understand where I am with them."

Iem's eyes lit up in response.

"Good! That means I won't have to do it before you get strong enough to make this travel. I'll be able to avoid a few of the calamity breakthroughs."

"Can you stop saying calamity all the time? During my breakthrough into the Semi-Divinity Realm, nothing happened, right? The previous situations were just coincidences. It shouldn't happen again."

Iem didn't believe it, though.

"Then why are you bringing me with you? If nothing is going to happen, then there is no need for me to be close. Wait! That means that you yourself don't believe that nothing will happen, right?!"

Krune looked away after hearing that as he said.

"Hey, look. It's getting late. Let's move before night comes."

Iem felt like kicking Krune. It was still morning...

The two of them quickly arrived at the tribulation field once again and paid for an empty space. As mentioned in the past, Franlia left a few God Foundation Experts looking over the two of them. Obviously, they also came to the tribulation field and watched them with their Divine Senses.

'Why did they come here? They are still far from the Mortal Rejection Realm.'

'Who knows? Many cultivators and demon beasts like to use this place to test their new skills as well. It might be something related to it.'

'Doesn't matter. Our mission is to protect those two, so keep your eyes on them.'

Of course, Krune and Iem already knew about it. Still, Krune preferred to have Iem around since they were in the same boat. No one knew that they had Heavenly Fragments or Core.

Krune then reverted back to his 'True Spirit' form since it was a lot easier for him like that. Well, that was obviously just his Wisp Form in a different shape controlled by himself.

Usually, Krune would take a lot of Godly Stones to go through the breakthrough. However, his Space Heavenly Fragments that was fused with the others still had a lot of energy remaining. There was no need to use any Godly Stones whatsoever.

As mentioned in the past, to enter the Divinity Realm is to become Divine. However, Krune's Ethereal Body and Foundation were already at the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm. That means it was already transformed into a Godly Energy Compatible type, much better than the Divine Body of a Divinity Realm. That was also why it was a lot easier to enter the Divinity Realm in the Godly Path Realm than in the Mortal Realm. Of course, for someone like Krune, breaking through the Divinity Realm in the Mortal Realm wouldn't be much of a problem anyway.

Krune immediately started the breakthrough as his Divine Soul absorbed the Heavenly Fragment energy like a black hole. It then began to strengthen at a breakneck pace that would be hard to achieve with Godly Stones alone. That Heavenly Fragment was really a blessing for Krune's cultivation.

Finally, Krune's Divine Soul reached the limit of energy as his foundation expanded once more. His Wisp Core also increased a little in size as it always did in every new Realm. He was still far from having a Wisp Core as big as Wally, but he was definitely on the right path.

As soon as that happened, Krune's cultivation began to increase at an alarming rate. More and more energy kept being absorbed by Krune's Divine Soul until finally, he stepped into the Divinity Realm 1st Stage. Of course, things didn't stop there. Now that Krune had space for improvement again, the remaining Spiritual Energy of the Space Heavenly Fragment immediately started to come out on its own.

However, the Divinity Realm Stages need a lot more Godly Energy for each breakthrough than the Semi-Divinity Realm. Not to mention that Krune's Universe Foundation was already a very consuming one due to its larger size than others of the same level.

Divinity Realm 2nd Stage...

Divinity Realm 3rd Stage...

Finally, Krune's Heavenly Fragment ran out of Godly Energy when he reached halfway through the 3rd Stage. Of course, having enough energy to jump six stages at once was already heaven-defying enough. Not to mention that the stages broken were Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realm Stages. Just how many would have such an opportunity like that?

However, Iem couldn't care less about any of that. Instead, Iem kept looking everywhere, waiting to see if nothing would happen for real. Still, everything was as quiet as when they arrived in this place.

Krune then finished stabilizing his foundation under control and returned to his human form. He also looked around the same way as Iem did, looking for any changes. Still, even his Mental Energy Scan couldn't see any difference. Obviously, he was as scared about his own breakthrough as Iem.

"Hehe! Hahaha! See?! I told you it was fine. All those things that happened in the past were just unfortunate coincidences!"

A vein popped on Iem's head, though.

"Fuck you! Who are you trying to deceive here? Do you think I can't see how relieved you are? You were totally expecting a calamity to come! Am I wrong?"

Krune smiled.

"Ahem... of course... not. I'm just... errr... relieved that nothing happened because of the amount of energy the Heavenly Fragment had."

"Liar!"

Krune could only try to change the topic at this point.

"Anyway, let's go back. There is no point in staying in this place."

However, just as Krune was about to use the teleportation formation, Iem put a hand on his shoulder.

"Do you really want to try using a teleportation formation again?"

Krune felt a chill on his back as he looked at the teleportation formation in front of him. It was supposed to just send them back to the building where they rented this Tribulation Field. However, this thing had sent them into an underground world hidden from Heaven's Eyes in the past.

"Cough, cough... What do you think about running a little? You see, it's a good thing to do some exercises."

Iem couldn't agree more.

"What a coincidence, I just had the same idea."

However, just as they were about to leave, the light on Krune and Iem's communicator began to shine. That was the sign that a call was incoming... right after Krune finished his breakthrough.

"Ahem... I think our communicators broke because of the energy of my breakthrough."

Iem nodded vigorously.

"Yes, we are definitely not seeing any 'new call' light coming from it at all. Definitely!"

*Crack!*

Suddenly, both Krune and Iem's communicators fell on the ground in pieces.

"Such a pity... they received a huge hit. It seems like we need to buy new ones later. Well, I guess it can't be helped."

It was Krune's turn to nod his head with conviction.

"It's totally normal for communicators to break into several pieces after a breakthrough."

"By the way, have you thought about going on a trip somewhere? We've been staying in the Sky Shifting Sect territory for so long, we need to stretch our wings a little."

Iem nodded once again.

"What a coincidence, I was thinking about the same thing."

The two of them looked at each other from the corner of their eyes for a second. Suddenly, the Purple Tribulation Wing Shields and Black Flames Wings appeared on their backs. In the next second, the two of them sped into the distance, ignoring everything behind. Who cares about who called? It doesn't matter. They didn't want to know!

Krune and Iem might be extremely fast for their cultivation, but their protectors were people and beasts at the God Foundation Realm. The difference in cultivation was simply too big!

Suddenly, three figures appeared in front of Krune and Iem, stopping them in their tracks. Without another choice, Krune and Iem could only smile bitterly.

One of the figures then stepped ahead and bowed to the two.

"Sorry for interrupting you two. Sect Master Franlia asked to bring you two back to the sect as fast as possible. It seems like something important is happening, and she needs your presence there."

Iem then glared a Krune before saying.

"I hope this reward you will give me is really, reallyyyyyyyyy good!"

Krune felt like crying.

"Just because they came to take us, it doesn't mean that it's something bad, right?"

Iem snorted in response.

"Do you really believe that?"

"..."

"No..."
