Krune's group could simply drive Maran away, but Krune opted for not doing so. From the looks of it, only Ricarte's group knew about the real use of this room. Not to mention that they would need Maran's key as well.

Maran then approached and used his key on the door. Krune followed suit and repeated the same process. The seal on the door then started to change, and a few seconds later, it disappeared.

With the door open, both groups entered inside. But surprisingly, the room practically empty. There was only one exception, a big formation on the ground.

Krune then messaged Feifei with a Divine Sense.

"Do you recognize this Formation?"

Feifei shook her head.

"This thing is way too complicated for me. If not for the name of the room, I wouldn't be able to tell that this has something to do with Spatial Gates at all."

Krune nodded and didn't ask anymore.

Both groups looked everywhere in the room, but in the end, they didn't find anything else.

Maran narrowed his eyes while looking at that Formation on the ground. He isn't a Formations Master, but he could at least tell that this thing is a really high level.

"What is happening here? Not only the Tribulation jade isn't here, but this Formation is not doing anything either."

Ricarte was also looking at that with a pensive expression. He knows that the Spatial Gate that he wants to use is probably opened through this Formation, but even he doesn't know how to activate it.

Krune couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that there is a special condition to activate this Formation?"

It was then that Ricarte remembered something. He then cut his finger and let a drop of his blood fall on the Formation.

Everyone noticed that and looked at that drop of Blood falling as well.

Sure enough, as soon as that happened, the Formation came to life. Ricarte then felt like some kind of connection between him and the Formation was established.

"As I thought. This is a Formation, and at the same time, it is also an Artifact. Now that I dropped my Blood on it, the contract between me and it has been established."

Maran immediately asked.

"Does that mean you can activate it now?"

Ricarte nodded.

"As the room name implied, this is really a Spatial Gate Formation. As for the place that it is connected to..."

Ricarte then checked it for a moment.

"It seems like it is connected to everywhere in the Mohie Zarks Dimensional Realm. It can send us anywhere we want as long as we are inside the Inheritance."

He then sent a Message to Krune and his group.

"I'm not lying, it can really send us anywhere inside this Realm. But it also has that ability that I commented to you earlier. It is just that to open a Spatial Gate to another universe would cost a lot of Spirit Stones."

Maran then asked.

"Can you see any treasure room or anything like that?"

Ricarte shook his head.

"There isn't. But I can see that there are quite a few realms that haven't been explored yet. So the rewards left behind in them are still there to be taken."

Maran, of course, had his doubts if Ricarte was telling the truth or not.

"If that is the case, pass the rights of the Formation for me. I want to take a look at it myself."

Ricarte smiled and then nodded.

"Sure."

Suddenly, the Formation deactivated, and the room became silent again.

"Done! Just drop your Blood on it, and you will gain control over the Formation."

Maran and everyone else was taken aback. No one expected that Ricarte would give up control over the Artifact Formation so easily.

Maran then gritted his teeth and dropped his Blood on the Formation. Sure enough, it accepted its new master, and soon, Maran could see the entire Dimensional Realm in his mind. Every single Bubble Realm was as clear as day.

Krune couldn't help but ask Ricarte through a Divine Sense message.

"Is it really okay? Wouldn't he find about the ability to open Spatial Gates to another Universe?"

Ricarte shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Probably not. Maran came here for that item, so the fact that it can open Spatial Gates to another Universes is of little concern to him. I can bet with you that he is desperately looking for that thing through all the Bubble Realms at this very moment."

"Besides, even if he does find out about this ability of the Spatial Gate, so what? I doubt he will open one and enter himself. In the end, he will simply give up and leave. If we can avoid any battle, that will be for the best. Especially considering your condition at the moment. From what I found, once you leave the Dimensional Realm, the contract with the Artifact Formation is canceled. All we need to do is wait."

Ricarte was right. That was exactly what Mohie Maran was doing. At first, he found out that Ricarte wasn't lying. There wasn't any treasure room or anything like that at the moment. He could see the Bubble Realms that hadn't been explored in the end as well. Unfortunately for him, the Tribulation Jade was nowhere to be found!

"That's not possible! It was supposed to be here! Where is it, where is it?!"

Krune, on the other hand, was pondering about their situation.

'Feifei and I can't use this Formation at the moment. First, I still need to go back to the Elemental Path when I reach the Soul Forging Realm. Second, there is the Wisp Worlds and the Myriad Wisps Technique spreading plan. Third, even if Feifei and I return to the Luvile Universe, it would be even more dangerous since that is the territory of the Sacred Lands.'

Time passed, and soon, three hours went by. Maran had been verifying every single Bubble Realm. Still, he didn't find anything at all! In the end, he could only give up and turn off the Formation. There were only two options now.

'The Tribulation Jade wasn't here to start with, or someone has gotten it already.'

He then looked at Krune and Ricarte's group and narrowed his eyes. Worst of all, if it was really here, and it was taken, there is no guarantee that it was them who took it. After all, the other groups left already.

"What you guys are waiting here for? I haven't found what I'm looking for, so I won't be giving you anything."

Ricarte sighed and then said.

"Did you not hear what I said earlier? There are still a few Bubble Realms that haven't been explored.

The rewards left behind in those places count for quite a big amount. Not to mention that our group arrived at this building too late, so you guys already took everything that was inside. We want to at least get something extra before leaving as well."

Maran couldn't help but snort.

"You can have as much of those resources as you want. I have no interest in leftovers."

After the full search, Maran was absolutely sure that there wasn't anything that he wanted in this Inheritance anymore. Because he didn't pay attention to the Formation itself, he ended not noticing the ability that it had to open Spatial Gates to other Universes.

But he couldn't be blamed. Maran is not a Formations Master to start with. First of all, Ricarte only knew about that function because he knew exactly what he was looking for. Otherwise, chances were that he would miss it as well.

Suddenly, a Spatial Gate opened, and Maran immediately left through it with his two subordinates. This one connected right where the exit was located. There was no way he could force Krune and the others to show their Spatial Rings, so he had to leave first to talk with Mohie Danif. After that, they can decide what to do about all the groups that participated in the last Castle Realm. Especially the ones who left already.

With Mohie Maran gone without a need for a battle, Krune sighed in relief. Although no one here took the Tribulation jade, he knew that Maran was probably considering the option that they have it. But that doesn't matter since he has a plan.

Krune looked at Ricarte and asked.

"Would you mind if Feifei takes a look at the Artifact Formation First?"

Ricarte nodded without caring much. Not to mention that Light Spirit has his group lives in his hands... or so they think. Because of that, they can't really complain.

Krune looked at Feifei, and she nodded.

Because Mohie Maran left the Inheritance, the Artifact Formation lost its master once more. Hence, Feifei was able to bind it easily.

"Found them."

The reason Krune wanted Feifei to check first was that she is a lot better at Formations than himself. Also, he wanted to use the Formation to find Ruik and the rest of his group.

Sure enough, they were still inside the Inheritance, so Feifei was able to locate them.

"Open a Spatial Gate close to them."

Krune then looked at Ricarte and asked.

"Should I bring the ones who were part of your group as well?"

Ricarte shook his head.

"There is no need. From my entire group, only five knew about my real plan. The others really came here for the sake of the resource and treasures."

Reiny also added.

"In my case, the two who died from my group and I were the only ones who knew about it, so you can simply leave the others who came with me doing their own things. They are still fighting for their own rewards, which is a good thing for them."

Krune then looked at Feifei and asked.

"How are they doing?"

Feifei then said.

"It seems like they are moving with other teams. From the looks of it, they passed through quite a harsh time. Dilo has quite a few injuries on his body as well. Still, they are all alive."

Krune nodded and entered the Spatial Gate. He still had a lot of question for Ricarte and the others, but it was better to bring everyone back first.
