Wally's protection would last a week. Yet, Krune only took three days to finish the fusion and transformation of his Elemental and Chaos Meridians into ten Godly Energy Meridians. The process was a lot smoother than he thought, which significantly increased his confidence.
Another good thing was that after the meridians fused, each of the Chaos Meridians properties was enhanced after the fusion with the Elemental ones. As mentioned before, each Chaos Meridians could improve according to the laws of each Heavenly Property that the owner had comprehended.
For example, the Yin Chaos Meridian could absorb the laws related to Yin, like water laws and death laws. Now that it fused with one of the Elemental Meridians, its improvement because of the laws got even better. Krune could tell that his laws comprehension speed, which was already high due to the Godly Energy, got even faster.
After the fusion was over, Krune began to control the ten new Godly Meridians to protect his Wisp Core. Thanks to his Wisp Core size, it wasn't anything hard to do as long as he paid attention.
"Light Spirit, let the Godly Energy come in, I want to see if my protection would work against it."
Light Spirit then controlled the barrier and let a much more considerable amount of concentrated Godly Energy enter. He was also paying very close attention. If Krune showed any signs of losing control, he would immediately use his Purple Tribulation Lightning to get rid of the Godly Energy.
At first, Krune felt quite pressured. One thing was the theory. The other was put it into practice. However, Krune did not collapse. By controlling the absorption and expelling of Godly Energy precisely, he could allow the right amount of Godly Energy to remain.
The main problem before was how much Godly Energy was concentrated on the air. Even if Krune took just a wisp of it, the concentration was just frighteningly high. It caused too much damage. But after filtering it with his Godly Meridians and at the same time using the meridians to fend off the ambient's Godly Energy, Krune finally found a balance.
Of course, it would take a long time before Krune could finish transforming his entire foundation and wisp core into godly ones. One must remember that when someone ascends, they are at the peak of the Divinity Realm. Their body will transform at high speeds even if they don't want to. However, it would still take at least one to two hours for them to finish this initial transformation.
However, Krune is different. The problem is not only his cultivation. The main issue is that his 'body' is both his Wisp Core and Foundation at the same time. He must transform both of them simultaneously, even if he doesn't want to. One can't forget that new ascenders first transform their bodies, which has their meridians. Only after it is done will they began to change their Dantians and Demon Cores into Godly Ones.
That being said, let alone one or two hours, Krune will probably take an entire month to finish transforming his Wisp Core into a Godly Wisp Core.
"Light Spirit, could it be that the transformation of Dantians and Demon Cores are related to their new cultivation realm?"
Light Spirit couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha! Smart! It seems like you already noticed. You are correct; they are related. To be more specific, they are basically the same thing. The transformation of the Dantians and Demon Cores are divided into nine stages, just like the normal cultivation system."
"Unfortunately for you, there is no way to improve your 'Godly' cultivation at the moment. The best you can do is only reach the first stage, which will allow your wisp core to interact with the Godly Energy without being smashed. After that, you won't be able to move even a single iota into the next stages of the Godly Wisp Core."
Krune didn't need to think much to understand why.
"I see, it is basically a problem with my actual cultivation. Even though I'm in the Higher Realms, I'm still a 7th Stage Divine Path Realm wisp. Without the support of a Peak Divinity Realm cultivation, I can not advance into the next stages of the Godly Wisp Core Transformation."
"Wait! In that case, the nine stages of the Dantian and Demon Core Transformation can not really be considered a Realm, right?"
Light Spirit confirmed.
"Correct! The transformation is really only that, a transformation. That is basically a transition where you change from the Spiritual Energy based system to Godly Energy based system. After you achieve the ninth stage, your Godly Wisp Core will finally have completed the entire transition. It indeed can't be considered a cultivation realm per see."
At this moment, Light Spirit dissipated Wally's Energy Barrier completely. Right after, all the Godly Energy around covered Krune as if it was air. Krune, of course, felt his burden increase several times. However, he still held the Godly Energy back with his Godly Meridians.
Light Spirit couldn't help but give a mental nod.
"Good. Although you can only barely hold it back, you can still survive in the Godly Path Realm on your own now."
Light Spirit then continued the previous conversation while Krune tried to adapt to the ambient energy.
"Now then, although the nine stages of the Dantian and Demon Core Transformations can't be considered a Realm, they still carry a Realm's name. Try to take a guess."
If Krune wasn't having a hard time at this moment, he would probably laugh now.
"Trans- Transformation... Realm."
Light Spirit laughed after that.
"Hahaha! Impressive, you can already spare some energy to answer me. That's correct, what name would be more fit if not Transformation Realm? Even though it can't be considered a Realm, it is indeed a perfect name. Of course, when you start to use Godly Energy instead of Spiritual Energy-based ones, everything you do will be much stronger and more precise."
Luvile then left Krune on his own for a few hours. The longer Krune spent using his new Godly Meridians, the better he became at controlling it. Obviously, the pressure given by the Godly Energy reduced as well. Finally, Krune could redirect some of his attention to other things, so he immediately began to ask further questions to Light Spirit.
"There is one thing I'm concerned at the moment. The Divine Path, Divine View, Semi-Divinity, and Divinity Realms all need Spiritual Energy. Since that is the case, how exactly am I going to cultivate after I finish transforming my Wisp Core into the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm? After all, the Godly Path and God Realms only have Godly Energy, right?"
Luvile didn't seem worried about it.
"Don't worry, it won't be a problem. As long as you can finish reaching the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm, you won't lack spiritual energy at all."
"How come?"
Light Spirit continued.
"Simple, you won't need Spiritual Energy to start with. You can use Godly Energy straight away."
Krune understood where Light Spirit was coming from.
"So basically, because my Wisp Core and Foundation will be Godly Ones, I can use Godly Energy instead of Spiritual Energy-based ones. Before, such a thing was impossible since I couldn't transform my Wisp Core in the Holy Land or later with Arty's help. However, it is possible now, thanks to the Transformation Laws of the Higher Realms."
Light Spirit confirmed.
"Correct. In fact, I'm very eager to see what difference will be there now that such a low-level demon beast is transforming his Core. Just how much faster the Godly Wisp Core and Meridians will make your cultivation move?"
Krune couldn't help but feel excited as well. But now that he wasn't at risk of dying because of the Godly Energy, he finally remembered his other problems back in the Mortal Realm.
"How am I going back to the Lower Realms? I can't let Feifei and Fie on their own there. I have to find a way to return as soon as possible."
Krune then asked.
"Right! Can't you and that Devil Flame God open another channel to the Lower Realms? It would be the fastest way. Since you can open a passage to here, you can open a passage back there as well, no?"
Light Spirit immediately cut off Krune's expectations.
"That's impossible. We could only open a passage to the Higher Realms because the Lower Realms' Space is hundreds of times more fragile. Not to mention that it was the combination of two new Major Laws from the Higher Realms that turned it possible."
"Because the Laws of Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flame were part of the Higher Realms, the Lower Realms 'allowed' the passage to be open. It was simply trying to send back our laws to where they belonged. However, the Higher Realms won't allow us to go down since our Major Laws belong to this place. Why do you think that it is so difficult to descend? I told you before, the Lower Realms can't accept the existence of ascenders. A high price must be paid if we wish to go down."
Krune then said.
"I don't mind paying that supposed price, though."
Light Spirit was already expecting it.
"Unfortunately, you don't have what it takes to open a passage to go down. Simply put, your cultivation is way too weak to go there. Believe me, if I could, I would go back down with you at this very moment. Don't forget that my body is still there."
Just as Krune was about to ask how much stronger he needed to be, Luvile and Krune heard a voice coming from Krune's foundation's depths.
"Krune, can you hear me?"
"Feifei!"
