"Oh! Are you talking about these two?"

Krune then showed the Heavenly Fragments in his hand. For those guys to have noticed its presence, it was evident that they had a Heavenly Fragment Owner from the same Universe.

The guy at the Void Breaking Realm stepped forward after seeing them.

"Those are the fragments of the competitors of our Universe. Did you kill them?"

Krune shook his head.

"I left them alive. Of course, they have no cultivation anymore. Also, don't try to blame me. I was only passing by when those two suddenly attacked me together. It was just self-defense. Anyway, are you also a Heavenly Fragment Owner of the same Universe as them?"

The guy nodded.

"My name is Fuliek. I am the Yang Heavenly Fragment Owner. Now, give me those fragments since they are useless to you."

Krune nodded.

"No problem. As long as the price is good enough, they shall be yours."

Fuliek was taken aback. Price? Who would lack spirit stones when they can enter a place like this? He couldn't help but think that he was being made fun of.

"Stop saying bullshit. Are you going to give it or not?"

Krune shook his head.

"Not gonna happen. Since you don't want it, so be it. Farewell."

Without even waiting to hear their answers, Krune turned around and walked in the Light Pillar's direction.

Fuliek got furious and immediately attacked. But just as he was about to reach Krune, the Pillar of Light released a Spiritual Pressure that knocked him against the ground. Krune could even hear a few of his bones cracking. The others around shook their head and looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.

Krune was surprised to see that scene, though.

"No wonder no battles happen around those pillars. This is a safe zone."

He looked around and then decided to ask one of the cultivators.

"Hello, friend. Do you know if this Pillar of Light was supposed to be like this?"

The guy looked at Krune and didn't know what to say. It looked like he didn't know anything about the Holy Land. Still, since he had nothing better to do, he explained it to Krune.

"Only during the Five First Levels. From what I heard from my Clan elders, the sixth level onwards will have no such thing as safe zones. Anyway, as long as you are inside a Safe Zone, even a Divine Path Realm cultivator or demon beast won't be able to touch you."

Krune nodded.

"What about the tests? In the first pillar, I had to fight a few fake cultivators and demon beasts. Are all the pillars like that?"

The guy shook his head.

"There are several types of tests to enter the next levels. The one you passed before was nothing more than the simplest one. Just resist the attacks, and that's it. Later, there will be tests where the difference in cultivation is higher, and you must defeat the opponents. There are also other types of tests like Godly Energy Pressure Resistance, Laws Manipulation, Elemental Control, Energy Control, Soul Power, etc... This is really a Holy Land made for the sake of cultivation! There is even the rank system to show who are the best ones."

Krune was taken aback.

"Rank system?"

The guy looked at Krune, puzzled.

"You really know nothing about this place, right? How did you even get in here?"

Krune scratched the back on his head.

"I just obtained a slot by coincidence. Sorry for making you explain everything."

Hearing that, the guy could only nob. He was already expecting something like this.

"When you touch the Light Pillar, instead of using Spiritual Energy, try to use your Divine Sense. Of course, it only works if you use your Divine Sense while touching the light pillar. Using Divine Sense from afar will give you no results."

"Anyway, that is basically everything you need to know. The rest is basically cultivation and more cultivation. Try to not waste any second in this place."

Krune agreed with him.

"By the way, friend. How many levels are there in this Holy Land?"

This time, the guy only shook his head.

"No one knows. It seems like you can keep going as long as you can resist the increase of Godly Energy. Some believe that if you reach the highest level, the Godly Energy in that place is as strong as in the Higher Realms. Of course, no one really reached that place to check if it is true or not. That is also supposed to be where the Holy Land and the Higher Realms' connection should be."

It was then that he remembered one thing.

"Oh, right! Once you reach the tenth levels, there won't be several Dimensional Realm anymore. Every single participant will have to pass through the same places."

Those words answered another question from Krune. If Laka came with a protector, then the several Dimensional Realms rule would make it useless for Alacanta to be here. But since there will only one Dimensional Realm starting from the tenth level, they would sooner or later meet there.

Krune then thanked him and moved in the direction of the Light Pillar. But just as he was about to touch it, Fuliek barred his way once more. By now, the pressure coming from the Light Pillar already released him.

"What do you want for those two Heavenly Fragments? I'll tell you in advance that I don't have that many Spirit Stones, only enough for my own cultivation."

Krune smiled after hearing that.

"In that case, what can you offer me?"

Fuliek reached his Spatial Ring and brought out something that looked like a Spirit Stones. However, instead of Spiritual Energy, Krune could few Godly Energy coming from it. As soon as that thing appeared, all the eyes around lit up. It was as if they were looking at a treasure.

Krune, of course, noticed the other people's gazes too.

"What is this thing?"

Fuliek and everyone else was taken aback.

"You don't know? What are you even doing in this Holy Land then?"

Krune shrugged his shoulder while spreading his arms.

"I only got a slot by chance, I have zero knowledge about it."

Fuliek didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Such a demon beast defeated two of his Universe Heavenly Fragment Owners. It really looked like a lie.

"Forget it. This thing is called Godly Stone. Just like the Spirit Stones, it has Godly Energy instead. However, this one is several times gentler than the Godly Energy you feel around you. Not to mention that the amount is much higher. If you use it correctly, your body and soul will get used to the Godly Energy a lot faster than it would normally be. Simply put, you will reach higher levels earlier than expected, which will allow you to cultivate much quicker too."

Krune's eyes lit up! For him, who wants to keep going up, this thing is really an excellent item.

"Why don't you use it yourself? Wouldn't it be better?"

Fuliek shook his head.

"Compared to the boost that the addition of these two Heavenly Fragments will give me, this deal is definitely much better than using it myself."

Krune had to admit that he was right. He knows just how good an extra Heavenly Fragment is, let alone two.

"Deal!"

The two of them quickly made the exchange. Fuliek then went to a corner and started to absorb both Fragments. Since he was already in a safe zone, this is the best place for him to do so. As for Krune, he decided to take a look into the Rank System that the other guy talked about.

Krune touched the Light Pillar and sent his Divine Sense inside. Right after, he received a question instead of the information he wanted.

"Name?"

Krune pondered a bit and understood. Indeed, there is no way the Holy Land would magically guess his name, so how could it tell who he was? He had to first give himself a name. Krune then sent a Divine Sense message into the Light Pillar.

"Lakin."

Krune simply chose his disciple's name. It's not like anyone knew Lakin to start with. Besides, the others would definitely recognize him.

As soon as Krune said that, a stream of information flowed through the Divine Sense. Something that looked like a ranking appeared in his mind, and thousands of names appeared without stop.

It seemed like it was divided into two different roles. There was one for each Light Pillar's level and another for all Light Pillar Levels together. Krune took a look at the first level Pillar and soon found out his own name there.

"First Level Light Pillar:

1-Lakin (8 seconds) - 100 Points.

2-Oraven (34 seconds) - 99 Points.

3-Yatal Rile (37 Seconds) - 98 Points.

4- Tar...

...

205- Your Grandfather R (2 minutes and 41 seconds) - 0 Points.

243- Beating Grandfather R (3 minutes 21 seconds) - 0 Points."

Krune's Mouth twitched after seeing that. Who else 'Your Grandfather R' could be other than Ruik? Beating Grandfather R is probably Tiane as well.

Krune also found Laka, and it seems like he was making good use of his Purple Flame Dragon Pearl.

13th- Laka (59 Seconds) - 87 Points.

"Laka is definitely holding himself back. With the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl's power, he should have destroyed all the 10 enemies in a flash. However, it is probably the same thing for the other Heavenly Divine Soul Owners as well. I was just in a hurry to reach the next level, so I went at it seriously. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten those 8 Seconds."

Krune couldn't find Feifei or Fie, though. Feifei didn't try to defeat the enemies, she just held them back and didn't expend any energy. Feifei isn't much weaker than Krune, so he was sure that she could have done much better. Because of that, she was in between those with a 10 minutes conclusion outside the Rank.

As for Fie, Krune knew how long she took to complete the first level Light Pillar, but her name didn't appear in the Rank. That meant that Fie hasn't registered a name in the pillar yet.

Suddenly, Krune noticed that there were also rewards provided for the top rankers. It worked accordingly to the positions of each pillar too. He then checked the First Light Pillar that was the only one he concluded so far.

"First Level Light Pillar Rewards:

1st to 10th - Ten Godly Stones.

11th to 20th - Nine Godly Stones.

21st to 30th - Eight Godly Stones

31st to 40th - Seven Godl..."

It went all the way to a single one. Now Krune knew from how Fulike got that Godly Stone. But it was then that he noticed something weird.

"Fulike is not there in the top 100 of the First Level Pillar, so how did he get a Godly Stone?"

Heavin then suggested.

"I think it makes sense. Fulike was just a Heavenly Fragment Owner and probably had a single Heavenly Fragment so far. So he shouldn't be able to enter the top 100 with all those Heavenly Divine Souls everywhere. Besides, no one said that you can't buy or rob others' Godly Stones."

Krune nodded since it made sense. He got a Godly Stone through a trade himself.

"Oh, it seems like that you must keep your position in the top 100 for a least three days for you to get the Godly Stone. I've been in this second level for more than that, so I guess I can get mine now."

Krune asked for the Godly Stone with his Divine Sense. Immediately after, the Light Pillar began to shine brightly, catching everyone's attention. Suddenly, ten Godly Stones appeared in thin air. Krune looked at that as they slowly descended on his hands.

However, he wasn't the least bit happy with that.

'Can't you be a little more discreet? Do you really need to make such a big entrance like that?'

Everyone looked at him as if he was prey. If not because of the Safe Zone, everyone would probably have attacked already. Considering that ten Godly Stones appeared, it was also evident that Krune was one of the top 10 in the first level pillar.

A single Godly Stone is one thing, but ten at once would definitely cause many problems for him.
