"Aunt! I finally returned again!" Solare shouted upon setting foot into the Mountain Sect, tearing up in joy as he exclaimed, "It was hard to cultivate so much!"
"You did well." The Seamstress patted him, noticing that he had returned to his appearance from when he was a teenager, basking in nostalgia as she noticed that he still retained his sense of intelligence from before.
Solare extricated himself from the group of Black Demons that he had traveled with, bringing the Seamstress to one corner as he whispered, "Aunt, I brought along a Godly Vine."
"What?" The Seamstress was surprised to hear that. "How did you manage to obtain that many Godly Points?"
"Well, actually..." He scratched his chin, telling her, "All the Black Demons pooled their Godly Points into me before leaving. I was told to wait until the last of them arrived. That's why I arrived the last here."
He then continued, smirking, "Now, I possess 12 Godly Veins in total. I left the remaining Godly Points with a villager who promised that they would do the same and accumulate until they're able to buy another Godly Vein."
Taking in a deep breath, he added, his tone filled with disappointment, "If not for the fact that the Gods refused to sell a Sub-Realm, we would have bought it first."
"12 Godly Veins" the Seamstress muttered, grinning as she grabbed hold of Krune's clone nearby, telling him all the details. He immediately transported both of them into the Mountain Sect's Sub-Realm as all five founding members entered a meeting.
"What shall we do with them?" the Seamstress asked. "They're in great abundance. Though, if we don't utilize them properly, we would be simply expending them."
"We'll create two more Cultivation Lotuses," Feifei announced suddenly. The Cultivation Lotus was what Zamuria created during her breakthrough. Through it, they would obtain a steady stream of Godly Energy without fear of the Godly Vein drying up in the future.
"However, that might slow down the growth of the first Cultivation Lotus. We also need to work on the quality of Godly Energy it can produce, remember?" Zamura retorted.
As everyone looked at Feifei, she let out a chuckle, telling the others after giving it a bit more thought, "We'll use the first Cultivation Lotus for the Outer and Inner Sect Disciples to cultivate. We'll occasionally take it to reinforce it using Tribulation Lightning. The second Cultivation Lotus would be what the Core Disciples would use to cultivate and breakthrough to the Semi-God Realm."
"And finally, we'll reserve the third Cultivation Lotus especially for Elders and above, those that are breaking through from the Semi-God Realm to the God Trial Realm and beyond. This third Cultivation Lotus would become the most valued treasure of our sect and would be generating enough energy for all our needs," she concluded. "This way, we'll all be able to have enough Godly Energy to cultivate without dividing our task force over wider activities."
"That sounds like a feasible plan. However..." The Seamstress said after a frown, "This is in the case our disciples breakthrough enough to constantly reinforce the Cultivation Lotuses. Otherwise, we'll expend them sooner or later."
"Actually, there's a quicker solution to that," Krune interrupted her, placing his palm forward for all to see when lightning flickered on it, alarming everyone.
Zamuria was pale with fear as she looked at Krune with a haggard expression. "T-Tribulation Lightning? H-How do you have it?"
"Krune has used it for all his life," Feifei explained, the only one among the group that wasn't shocked. "Actually, Luvile, the God of Tribulation Law, is Krune's closest friend. It was Krune that helped him when he was wounded, nursing him back to full health. Now, the two have known each other for a couple centuries already."
"But, how is it possible for you to wield the Tribulation Lightning even if that were the case?" Zamuria continued to express her fluster, looking at Krune as she told him, "The Tribulation Law is the sole law that cannot ever be wielded by cultivators. Even if your friend if the Tribulation Law God, this is still something that isn't possible."
"It's thanks to my Spiritual Mark," Krune laughed as he replied. "Luvile created a Spiritual Mark exclusively for me. It is what allows me to wield Tribulation Lightning. However, I cannot control it, just like I did in the past. All I can do now is simply discharge it towards a target, nothing else."
"That's still amazing in its own regard." Zamuria nodded when her eyes widened, understanding what Krune had implied before. "Right, with Tribulation Lightning, you can constantly reinforce the Cultivation Lotuses. You can absorb the energy they emit and use it to reinforce them further."
"Since I'm only at the Ninth Stage of the God Core Realm, the reinforcement I can give it would only be a fraction of what a breakthrough to the Semi-God Realm provides. Nevertheless, I can stack it without problems," Krune grinned as he told them this. "And when I grow stronger in the future, I can reinforce them even further. So, even if there is a lack of disciples at any time, we won't ever be troubled."
"Alright then. I'll break through next and create the second Cultivation Lotus," the Seamstress said as she looked at Zamuria and asked, "Can you handle gathering all the necessary materials?"
"Sure, give me a month. I'll gather two piles of them." Zamuria nodded.
"That's two down. We still have ten more to use," Zamura said. "We have to ensure that they're used appropriately."
"I was about to suggest we create a fountain that can produce God Stones," Krune suggested. "But, since there's Tina among our ranks, I don't see the need for that."
"Well, there's still a limit as to how much she can produce. Once our sect members increase in numbers, she would be slumped with work. Unlike us, she's a mortal and has to sleep daily. Otherwise, her brain would fry." After going silent for a bit, Zamura suggested, offering a solution, "We can do it this way."
He took out the Pocket Ring and continued, "The space within is vast while even living things can live inside it. I'll use my abilities to fuse a Godly Vein into it so that it would constantly produce God Stones. In the unlikely event something happens, we can take refuge within it without any problems."
