Fiarit noticed Krune's smile and felt like he was going to explode. Still, he didn't dare to take up the challenge. Although he, too, could defeat Erventik easily, it definitely wouldn't be to the level that Krune, or better, Darten did.

That wasn't all. Everyone outside could tell with just a glance. That was far, far from being Darten's real power! Although they were confident that they could take him head-on, they weren't sure if they could win or not. Even if they did, that would come at a very high price, not to mention that they might be the ones losing in the end.

But that wasn't what frightened them. What really left everyone shocked was the fact that Krune is still in the 4th stage of the Divine Soul Realm, while the majority watching were at least in the 7th. They are already not sure if they can win while Darten has such a much lower cultivation realm, so what about when he reaches their same level?

If that wasn't a big enough display of strength, then nothing else would be!

Fiarit swallowed his anger and then smiled at Darten.

"Hahaha! There is no need. This was just a test, after all. Now that you proved that you are strong, I have no need to test you myself."

Although those words could be considered humiliating, no one thought that Fiarit did wrong.

Krune then nodded.

"Oh, is that so? That's good then. I guess no one else has any issues with me holding the Jade Slip, am I right?"

No one said anything, which Krune decided to take as a silent agreement.

Everyone returned to the Mission Hall, and Krune immediately called Ricarte back.

"Hello. It's me, Darten. I'm ready to go anytime, are you guys all there as well?"

Ricarte immediately smiled on the other side of the call.

"Oh, so that's how you look like. Last time we just exchanged messages, so it is the first time seeing your face. Of course, I know that there is a high chance that it isn't your real one, though."

"Anyway, we are ready anytime you are. I advise you to come with a big enough group as well. Otherwise, you can't blame me if the others decide to find trouble with you because of your Jade Slip."

Krune agreed with him.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a problem on my side. Where should I find you and the others?"

"You can come to the Mission Hall in Kulue City. It is on the same planet I mentioned you before, Yatil of the Lokin Solar System."

Krune nodded and then finished the call.

"Well then, shall we go?"

Everyone already accepted that challenge outcome, so no one complained with Krune, or better, Darten, calling out the tips. Of course, no one here considered him a leader or anything. It was just that he had the Jade Slip, and without it, there would be no point for the others to move there anyway.

Everyone got to the Long Distance Teleport Formation and teleported away. Since Yatil Planet was in the same galaxy, it only took Krune's group a few teleports to arrive at the place. From there, they took one last teleport formation to the City of Kulue.

No one had anything else to do, so they moved directly to the Mission Hall right after. There, Ricarte was already waiting.

"Hey, Darten! I see that you've come."

Ricarte then looked at Krune's group behind him and nodded.

"Good! That's exactly what I meant when I said you should bring your own group. They can also be considered your own force, so the others won't find trouble with you for the time being."

Krune could finally see what cultivation Ricarte has. He was a cultivator at the 2nd stage of the Soul Forging Realm.

Ricarte then guided everyone to the room where the others were waiting. Just as expected, they could see the groups well separated. Still, there weren't another 13 groups, but 9 only.

"Is someone absent?"

Ricarte shook his head.

"No, this is the total at the moment."

Krune then nodded.

"I see, some of them have more than just one Jade Slip from Mohie Zarks, right?"

Ricarte immediately nodded.

"Yes. I just so happen to be one of them. At the moment, I have 2 jade Slips, one I found myself, while the other I bought from another cultivator."

Krune nodded, and they finished their conversation there.

Ricarte then brought Krune forward and introduced him to everyone else.

"This one here is Darten, he is the last one to join our group and has one Jade Slip from Mohgie Zarks. As you all know, I already spread the information that we gathered 14 Jade Slips. So if everything goes according to the plan, we should be seeing at least two or three others appearing soon."

Ricarte then pointed at Krune's group.

"Those there are part of his group, so I believe no one has any issues with the fact that he is one of the Jade Slip owners."

The other groups immediately nodded. As long as one had the necessary combat power, they wouldn't complain about Krune having a Jade Slip. After all, they already have at least one themselves.

Ricarte then went to the center of the room, and soon, the leaders of each group also stepped forward. Each one of them had a Void Breaking Soul Realm behind them, which were responsible for their safety. Krune then looked at Laex, who immediately followed behind him.

Ricarte then was the first one to bring his two Jade Slips from the Spatial ring and show to everyone.

"These are my two Jade Slips."

As soon as the two appeared together, something like a projection appeared above them. It looked like that by resonating, both Jade Slips could create that phenomenon. Still, the image above was way too blurry, and no one could tell what it was.

Then another Cultivator did the same thing and brought out one Jade Slip. Krune could feel that he is in the Soul Forging Realm, but it was still in the initial stages, just like Ricarte.

"Hey there, Darten, my name is Lutin Hravent. Nice to meet you!"

The Jade Slip on his hand then started to resonated with Ricarte's two, and the image above them seemed to get a little clearer.

The next one was a Demon Beast, and this one was at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm.

"Prianeo."

He just said his name and brought his Jade Slip out as well. Once again, the resonation increased, and the image got even better. By now, it was at least possible to see some outline, although Krune couldn't tell what it was.

The next one was a Female Cultivator who was also in the Soul Forging Realm.

"Amelia Linxin, good to see you."

The same process continued, and one by one, the participants took out their Jade Slips. In the end, Krune was left as the last one. By now, the image was quite easy to identify. By the position of the planets, their moons, and the position of the Sun. One could determine that they are indeed in the right Solar System.

"I'm Darten, nice to meet you all."

He also brought his Jade Slip out, and finally, the 14th one resonated with everyone else's Jade Slips.

The image that before was showing the Solar System then approached once more and stopped on a Planet.

Ricarte looked at that and nodded.

"So it is not in the Yatil Planet as we suspected, but in the Yakil Planet instead. That planet is not as big as Yatil, but it is still quite large. With a single extra jade Slip, it will still be hard to pinpoint the right location."

Suddenly, everyone heard a voice at the entrance of the room.

"What if I add two more Jade Slips then?"

Everyone looked at the direction from where the voice came and soon noticed a man entering the room. Right behind, there was another group of people and beasts that seemed to have come with him.

Krune looked at him and could tell that he was far above the others' Realm. By the pressure that he is giving, most likely, he is already in the Void Breaking Realm. It was then that he received a Divine Sense message from Laex.

"6th stage of the Void Breaking Realm. But I can tell that his fighting prowess definitely surpasses the stage he is in at the moment. Too bad, though. He won't be able to enter the Dimensional Realm."

Krune answered back.

"He doesn't have to know that now, right?"

Krune and Laex looked at each other, and faintly smiled.

Ricarte then smiled as well and said.

"That would be great. With your two Jade Slips, we would have a total of 16. The search range will once again decrease. By the way, how should we address you?"

The man nodded while bringing his two Jade Slips out.

"You can call me Mohie Danif."

This time, everyone was really surprised. They never expected that a descendent of the Mohie Clan would appear here.

It was at this moment that he looked at Krune and asked.

"How come you have the All-Encompassing Soul Technique of my Mohie Clan? It shouldn't have been out there for selling."

Krune and Ruik immediately narrowed their eyes. They didn't expect that Krune's Soul Technique would be noticed this easily.
