Light Spirit once more, began to absorb the power of the Elemental Halo. At the same time, Krune restarted the creation of the Chaos Meridian. As mentioned before, Krune had to make a few alterations to the previous form. Still, most of the parts stayed the same.
The Elemental Halo had already been used for some time before Krune stopped last time, so after he and Light Spirit started to use it, it didn't take long for them to have to move.
After Four Months, the door leading to the Dimensional Realm with the Elemental Halo opened again. But before anyone could ask Krune anything, he was already gone in a flash of Purple Lightning.
Soon, Krune arrived at the last Hall, the Blackhole. Once inside the Dimensional Realm with the Blackhole Halo, Light Spirit started to absorb it while Krune kept forming his Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian. As expected, Krune didn't take too long to reach the last step of the Meridian Creation. Even though there were a few differences, Krune was able to circumvent it. That said, after another month...
"This is the moment of truth."
Using the tenth Elemental Meridian as support, Krune gave the final push into the Tenth Chaos Meridian Creation. This time, Krune's path was not blocked, and the last Chaos Meridian was finally formed! Light Spirit noticed that and immediately stopped absorbing the Halo's power to replenish his Tribulation Lightning Essence.
Sure enough, as soon as the Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian was completed, Krune's comprehended Tribulation Lightning laws started to fuse with it!
Heavin, Krune, and Light Spirit couldn't help but get excited about it. All the work was finally paying off.
"Great! It is finally completed!"
The fusion with the laws took another day to finish. Finally, Krune exited the Dimensional Realm with the Blackhole Halo. Xiun, of course, noticed Krune's presence outside straight away. He took that opportunity and called all the other disciples as well. Soon, the room in that Hall had the projection of all nine of them.
Krune also decided to wait for everyone to come before trying it. Feifei and the others then received a Divine Sense message saying that Krune was out, so they didn't take long to arrive. With everyone in the room, Krune tried to use his ten Chaos Meridians to create Chaos Energy.
Even though the tenth Elemental Meridian did not evolve the natural way, it didn't mean that it couldn't convert Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source energy. So it also helped with the conversion. In fact, Krune could feel that because of the tyrannical power of the Tribulation Lightning inside this Meridian, it was even faster at absorbing Spiritual Energy than the others.
Finally, came the time to pass the Elemental Source Energy through the Chaos Meridians. The nine Chaos Meridians were able to convert 15% of the total Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy, so everyone was looking forward to the difference now.
As mentioned before, the Chaos Meridians need to work together to be able to convert Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy. This time, except for the fact that there are ten Chaos Meridians, this rule did not change.
Krune cultivated for half an hour until he finally stopped. When he opened his eyes again, everyone could see the happiness in it.
"Hahaha! The Purple Tribulation Lightning is really overbearing. Since it had to work with the other nine Chaos Meridians, it basically forced them to work a lot harder. Not only can I absorb more Elemental Source Energy at once, but the conversion rate also doubled! 30% of all the Elemental Source Energy that I get becomes Chaos Energy straight away!"
Wally's disciples were taken aback by that result. That far surpassed their best expectations. They didn't believe that Krune would be able to convert more than 20% at once, even with an extra Meridian.
"Quick, quick, bring your Chaos Meridians out for us to see!"
Krune nodded and did as they said. Soon, twenty Meridians appeared at once. Karine and the others were even more shocked now. In the middle of the colored Elemental Meridians, there was a new Purple One. Still, they all could tell that it was still an Elemental Meridian.
"From where the twentieth Meridian came from?"
Krune then explained that for him to create a Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian, he had to have the support of one more Elemental one. Because of that, he had to create a new extension for the previous three forms of the Myriad Energies technique too. Krune then explained the process of creation and everything he went through to bring that Tenth Elemental Meridian to life.
Amisra, the Destiny Divine Soul Wisp, couldn't help but say.
"I see... I don't know if it will serve as much help, but I believe that we can at least use this as a base for the Fifth Form."
The others couldn't help but ask why.
"That is because Krune is using a type of Energy and Laws that weren't supposed to exist. Who knows? Maybe that is exactly what the fifth form is lacking, something to go against the rules of the Universe."
She continued.
"Think about it like this: The Myriad Energies Technique allows us to create a type of Energy that we weren't supposed to be able to before the right cultivation realm. Because of that, the reason why we can't devise a higher version of the technique is that the rules of the Universe aren't allowing our experiments to bear fruit."
Feifei thought it to be strange.
"But if that is the case, how come we can do that with Elemental Source Energy and Chaos Energy? If we take Krune as an example, he can even create Chaos Energy before the Void Breaking Realm. So far, it doesn't seem like the Universe is intervening in it."
Surprisingly, the one who refuted that fact was Krune.
"That is not the problem here, Feifei."
Krune then looked at Amisra and asked.
"If I'm not wrong, what you want to say is that the first Four Versions came to life because the Cultivation Realms that they impact are not that high, right?"
Amisra was surprised that Krune caught the meaning behind her words so easily.
"Smart! That is correct. All the Cultivations up to the Void breaking Realm aren't really considered anything special. They are simply too weak to provoke any significant change that could impact the Universes as a whole. Because of that, whether you can jump realms and create different types of Energy earlier matters little."
"However, the Fifth Form of the myriad Energies Technique is trying to create Divine Energy! Divine Energy is what Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts need to cultivate. They are also an existence that can cause big movements in the Universes."
Amisra then shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, this is all nothing more than a conjecture. Whether I'm right or wrong, I can't tell."
Eldrin agreed with her, though.
"I think it is worth a try. The problem is, where will we find a type of Energy that doesn't exist in the Universes? We can't rely on Krune since, during the Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian creation, it was evident that he didn't have enough Energy for him alone. We even had to allow him to absorb part of the Halos to make up for it. We need something that can be resupplied with as much as we need for the research. Besides, it is not like we could keep Krune here forever since such research is bound to take enormous time."
Just as Krune was going to say that he didn't mind helping, someone intervened.
*Clap!*
Suddenly, everyone looked at Karine after that hand's clap.
"Alright. The Fifth form is something for us to deal with, not Krune, and his group. They all have a long path ahead, so we can't keep wasting their time. No cultivator or demon beast can improve by being locked in a single place."
The other Divinity Realm disciples couldn't help but nod.
"Karine is right. It is already time for Krune and his group to go out to gain more experience. If they want, they can help us with the Fifth Form by giving their ideas when they come back here."
Karine then made a few seals in midair, and six tokens appeared. Except for Krune, and the two kids, Fie and Liriu, everyone received a token.
"These token can be used once to bring you into the Elemental Path Realm. Also, unlike the one Krune had before, they can only carry a single cultivator or demon beast. So make sure to only use it when you are ready to create your own Chaos Meridians. Don't forget to bind it with a drop of your blood so that the only one who can be transported is yourselves. Finally, do not think about it as a lifesaver treasure. It will not activate unless you are completely alone and in a peak state."
The token was made like that so that they wouldn't be careless during their travels outside while thinking that they could escape into the Elemental Path anytime they wanted. This kind of mentality where one feels that he is always safe is not suitable for a cultivator or demon beast's improvement.
Everyone immediately thanked Karine for that.
But someone seemed unhappy with those actions, Phillin.
"Sigh... Even though I was the one who created the tokens that can be used anywhere in Dalin, she is the one to be thanked. Such a selfish Wisp."
Karine's face got a little red out of embarrassment, and she glared at Phillin.
"You are lucky that we are all locked in our specific positions. Otherwise, I would make you eat all the tokens I have."
Phillin snorted, though.
"You and what army?"
While those two started to argue with each other, Xiun, the Blackhole Divine Soul Wisp, teleported everyone outside the Blackhole Hall.
"Cough, cough. Don't mind those two, they had been like this for as long as I remember. I will now open a Spatial Gate leading you outside since we already have all the necessary information. Is there anything you need still?"
Krune and the other looked at each other and shook their heads. Be it Krune's Chaos Meridian opening or the other's cultivation and battle training, they all had excellent harvests, so it was indeed time to go out. After all, they spent almost three years in the Elemental Path!
"Very well."
Xiun gave Krune a different token.
"This one will allow you to communicate with us in case something happens."
Krune thanked him. Soon, a Spatial Gate appeared in front of everyone that connected exactly in the place that had left before, Cinty's house.
But as soon as Krune and the others came out, something that no one thought to be possible happened.
