Krune had also been practicing his Elements Regulation Technique, but it turned out harder than he expected. Let alone fusing all elements, he couldn't even make a fusion with two opposite ones with a proxy yet. Of course, he knew that it would take a long time to start with, so he wasn't disappointed.
Finally, there was his Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws. Krune was at least able to reach the Intermediate Stage with the Flash Annihilation and was close to comprehending a second one, Charged Lightning Energy.
Although it looked slow, Light Spirit was, in fact, impressed that Krune reached this level so fast.
Still, Krune knows that things would only get harder. After all, his Elemental Flowers are pretty much gone, just like Feifei.
'I guess it can't be helped. I wasn't supposed to be comprehending the Laws using the Flowers to start with, so I guess there is no point in bothering with it now. It just means that I'm back in comprehending Laws like everyone else.'
Everyone kept discussing their laws for a long time after reporting their current level. That helped to make things clear for those that were behind in certain elements. Of course, it was more like Krune and Feifei explaining most of the stuff with the others giving some opinions now and then.
"Alright, I guess this is enough for all of us. As you all know, it has been 4 years since we arrived in the Dalin Universe. The protection that Feifei and I have on our Advanced Major Cores is supposed to disappear between 5 and 10 years after leaving our Home Universe."
Krune continued.
"If the Sacred Lands really sent their own Advanced Major Cores to this place as well, then we are getting close to being able to feel each other. So Feifei and I are going to use this remaining safe year to improve our combat power as much as possible. Also, I have a plan for the case that they really came."
Everyone looked Curious at Krune.
"Simply put, we can't use too strong cultivators to fight for us since it would go against the rules of the Dalin Universe. If the other Advanced Major Core owners are not idiots, they will not leave the range of populated planets. That way, they won't be killed by someone with cultivation much higher than themselves. The same could be said for me."
"Still, there is nothing about using cultivators and demon beasts that are at most one full realm above. As Cinty explained to us, there is a limit of cultivation for those who come from outside. Not to mention the limit in resources as well. So there is no way that those guys would come with their Sacred Land full monetary backing. In that case, I refuse to believe that they can make more Spirit Stones than myself."
Dilo and the others understood.
"You are planning to post a mission in the Mission Hall and get as many Divine Soul and Soul Forging Realm as possible to help you, right?"
Krune shook his head.
"There is a problem with this idea. I don't know when those guys would come or if they would come at all. So if I recruit too many, I will not be able to keep paying them in the long term. Unless, of course, I use a lot more time to concoct even more pills to sell. But in that case, my time for cultivation will be reduced. After all, I need all Meridians during the concoction process, so I won't be able to keep cultivating at that time. But that is not what bothers me. What I'm afraid is if I could trust those from who come from the Mission Hall at all."
Feifei then asked.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
Krune nodded.
"Instead of having several Cultivators and Demon Beasts recruited through the Mission hall, I will ask the help of the other wisps in the Wisp World. They are a lot more reliable, and there would be no risk of betrayal. Cinty and I had been exchanging messages for quite some time regarding the Myriad Wisps Technique. She selected quite a few wisps that could be trusted but didn't have a chance to enter the Soul Forging Realm anymore due to the lack of life spam."
"Those ones are different from the wisps that are going out of the Dalin Universe. After all, the wisps going out need to have enough life span to build their foundations on the other Universes. So they are all quite young even though they are in the Divine Soul Realm."
"The wisps that I plan to help me during the time that Feifei and my protection is over are the ones who are close to the end of their life. Still, they are in the late stages of the Divine Soul Realm. Thanks to the Myriad Wisps Technique, they now had hope of entering the Soul Forging Realm. Cinty selected quite a few of them and passed the technique around 2 years ago. Now, it seems like this strategy is finally bearing fruits."
Feifei got curious and asked straight away.
"In that case, how many old wisps in the Divine Soul Realm were successful in entering the Soul Forging Realm with this help?"
Krune smiled and said.
"25!"
Everyone got impressed at that number.
"In that case, just how many wisps in the Divine Soul Realm did Cinty pass the technique over? After all, since they were all in close to the end of their life spans, there shouldn't have enough time for the majority to succeed in it."
Krune sighed and nodded.
"You are right. The Wisp Worlds have a lot of Divine Soul Wisp that don't have the change of entering the Soul Forging Realm. Cinty selected only those that were at least in the 8th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. In total, she passed the technique to 287 wisps. From this number, 25 entered the Soul Forging Realm, 13 are still trying, as for the rest..."
Krune didn't need to say it for the others to understand. The rest had run out of life span and died. In the end, even the Myriad Wisps Technique wasn't enough to give them that chance of breaking through.
"Don't feel sad for them. Those wisps at least received the chance to dream about it. Fortunately, 25 of them were successful. They already agreed with helping me when the time comes for us to deal with the other Advanced Major Cores in case they really came to the Dalin Universe. They are all in the 1st or 2nd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, but this number alone is more than enough for now."
"Besides, different from Cultivators and Demon Beasts that you recruit in the Missions Hall, I can really trust them. When the time comes, I plan one using a combat formation with all of them if possible."
Still, Ruik couldn't help but comment.
"Well, I'm still impressed with the fact that you got so many Late Stages Divine Soul Realm Wisps. I thought it would be harder to find that many."
Krune shook his head.
"That's where you are wrong. In fact, this number is very small. Do you know just how many wisps we have considering all the 15 Wisp Worlds?"
This time, Krune's words picked everyone's attention. They never tried to really look into this information before.
Krune noticed their curiosity and said.
"Over 200 billion!"
Ruik and everyone else gasped at that number.
"We are talking about a place that gathers wisps from the entire Dalin Universe, after all. But in the end, Cinty could only find 287 in the late stages of the Divine Soul Realm that were close to the end of their life spans. Do you understand now why they had to create the Wisp Protection Law? That's because really too little number of wisps have the chance to enter the Divine Soul Realm at all."
In a place like the Dalin Universe, between over 200 billion, not even 0.001% can enter the Divine Soul Realm. The situation is completely different for any other race.
Ruik scratched the back of his head.
"287 is really a small number, sorry."
Krune shook his head.
"It's okay. 287 is just the number of those that fully filled the criteria. There were also those who are in a lower cultivation stage or that Cinty couldn't be sure if she could fully trust them or not. If we count all the Divine Soul Realm wisps in existence in all the Wisp Worlds, we still have a few tens of thousands."
Although Krune said that, it doesn't change the fact that the number is pitifully low compared to other races. 0.001% of the total, 200+ billion, would be at least 200 thousand. But the Wisp Worlds didn't even reach 100 thousand to start with.
Krune then went back to the topic at hand.
"Anyway, that is the actual situation at the moment. Different from the Sacred Land guys, we have a force that we really can trust. Of course, we are talking about something that will happen over a year or more in the future, so for now, let's just focus on increasing our power."
Dilo then raised his hand.
"In that case, I have an idea."
