Krune and Iem were taken aback by what they heard.

Illia, or better, Bianka, looked at Jimage as if she was looking at a ghost. After that, she also used a Divine Sense Message to ask.

"How did you find out?"

Jimage shrugged his shoulders.

"Quite simple. You have a method to leave this place, right? Considering how hard it is even for me, you are bound to have some spatial treasure or something like that that can allow you to achieve that. However, such a treasure is definitely not something disciples at the Semi-Divinity, or Divinity Realm like us should have. That being said, you probably have a strong backer in the Flower River Sect."

"I already found it weird after Krune told me about your battle. From his description, you seemed to be way stronger than the other Semi-Divinity Realm guys as well. From what I know, it seemed like it is also you who had been tracking our group in the past. After putting all of that together, it was easy to think that you were definitely important for the Flower River. After that, I only had to think about the information we have from the Flower River Sect Master. She has a daughter who was supposed to be in the Semi-Divinity Realm."

"Last but not least, the one who came to watch over the Top Quality Godly Vein Sealed Space was the Sect Master herself instead of one of her elders. That was the last point that confirmed your real identity. Without a doubt, you changed your appearance too. After all, you look different from the reports."

Knowing that there would be no point in hiding anymore, Bianka could only sigh.

"Indeed, I'm Bianka. So what, are you going to use me against my mother? I might as well tell you that although my mother and I are close, she wouldn't trade the sect's well being for my life."

Jimage nodded.

"I know. Don't worry. As long as you can really bring us out of this body, I don't mind letting you go later. It is one thing to kill a disciple of your Flower River Sect, but another to kill the Sect Master's daughter. Also, leaving this place alive is our top priority after acquiring the advantages of this place. If anything, I'm happy that you were with us during this exploration."

Krune and Iem didn't say anything in the end. Jimage is the leader of their exploration group, so he had the final saying about those things. That being said, they decided to ignore that fact and change the topic.

"Senior Jimage, we are going to make a breakthrough then."

Jimage nodded and asked them to do it close to where he was staying.

Krune and Iem then took out a few Top Quality Godly Stones. In fact, at their level, only one would be enough to supply enough energy to breakthrough if they were at the peak of their stage. However, the fact is that they entered the 9th stage not too long ago. Because of that, they also had to accumulate the energy first.

Krune and Iem didn't want to make a breakthrough so fast before since they hadn't had the chance to get used to their power. However, after so many battles against Space Creatures and even the other cultivators, such a problem disappeared.

Another thing is that Krune and Iem didn't take any of the Top Quality Godly Stones from the clusters behind Jimage. After all, Foltan and his companions were paying attention so that Krune wouldn't start to take everything without them noticing. One must remember that Krune is several times faster than anyone else in this place thanks to his Mental Energy. To prevent misunderstandings during the breakthrough, Krune and Iem took out Top Quality Godly Stones that they acquired from outside.

Another good thing was that neither Iem nor Krune cared about the element of the Godly Stones. Both of them are skilled with all five primary ones, which allowed them to use any of those with ease. Iem is a Formations Master, so he quickly set up a relatively good Energy Gathering Formation to help them extract the Godly Energy of those stones even faster.

After that, they put the Godly Stones in the positions and sat down in the middle of the formation. Foltan and his companions noticed that, but since that was only a simple formation and they did not touch the Godly Stones in the clusters, he refrained from making a move. After all, he could see Jimage paying very close attention to his movements.

Krune and Iem's cultivation began to increase at alarming speeds. However, no one could see it since Iem made sure to also put a concealing formation to hide the effects. Otherwise, everyone there would be frightened by that. Although Foltan could tell that there were a few simple formations there, he didn't know what Krune and Iem were doing. One must remember that both Krune and Iem had absorbed the Blackhole Heavenly Fragments already. In Iem's case, he is also a Heavenly Race member and a Heavenly Core Owner. As for Krune, he obviously had his Godly Energy Meridians.

Of course, even at such speeds and with the use of Top Quality Godly Stones, they couldn't accumulate the necessary energy in just a moment. It was only because Foltan and Jimage agreed to wait for a day that they decided to do it now.

As time passed, more cultivators from both groups began to arrive. The first one was Rui, the 6th Stage Divinity Realm member of the Sky Shifting Sect. Foltan's expression obviously wasn't good when he saw that it was Rui who appeared. Jimage wasn't surprised by that, though. With their Vibrant Beads as beacons and their ideas about the Meridians of this giant body, Rui would have definitely appeared sooner or later. After all, he is the strongest one after Jimage.

A few minutes later, a member of Foltan's Three Peaks Sect came out of another Meridian entrance as well. However, since his Divinity Realm members were already gathered with him, only the Semi-Divinity Realm ones remained. Obviously, this was one of them.

Time passed, and another five figures appearedtwo from the Three Peaks Sect, and three from Sky Shifting. Yet, Jimage's eyes narrowed. That's because Xanala, their last Divinity Realm member, did not appear until now.

Rui also noticed that, so he could only assume through a Divine Sense.

"A few people and beasts definitely died for that God Crystal. However, because we separated straight away, we don't know who perished. Since Xalana hasn't appeared until now, chances are that she was one of the victims. With her power, she should have arrived already considering our Vibrant Beads."

Jimage could only sigh after hearing that. Rui simply confirmed what he was already afraid of. Still, with Rui here, they won't be at much disadvantage if Foltan decides to turn on them.

Still, there was one thing that was making Jimage and Foltan puzzled. Until now, no one from the Flower River Sect appeared. The only exception was Bianka, who was obviously not there because she wanted. Of course, for Jimage and Foltan, that was good news.

Back inside the Energy Gathering Formation, Krune and Iem had been absorbing Godly Energy for eighteen hours straight. Finally, Iem took a deep breath as he looked at Krune.

"I'm ready to breakthrough. How far are you from the peak of the Divine View Realm?"

Krune opened his eyes before saying.

"I wasn't that much later than you when I broke through into the 9th stage. With the Top Quality Spirit Stones' power, I should reach the peak in another 30 minutes or so."

Iem nodded and then asked with a concerned expression.

"Just to be sure, you won't summon another calamity just because you are making a breakthrough, right?"

Krune's mouth twitched.

"Do you think I'm doing that on purpose? First of all, it was Zule's fault that we were brought away last time, not mine!"

Zule rebuked back.

"I had no choice, okay? Who told you to come to the planet where my Dimensional Realm was located at? If I didn't bring you, I would still be stuck inside that dammed tower!"

Luvile, who had been hearing so far, added his piece.

"Whatever. Zule is here with us, so he won't play something like that again. Let's hope that the Demon Core of this giant body won't explode during Krune's breakthrough."

Iem and Zule nodded vigorously.

Krune, on the other hand, felt helpless at how poor was their image of him. Still, knew that complaining would bring him nowhere, so he just ignored them.

"Hmph!"

Iem was the first one to initiate his breakthrough. As mentioned in the past, the Semi-Divinity Realm is the time when a cultivator or demon beast becomes able to use Divinity Energy. However, in the Godly Path Realm and above, it is possible to change it to Godly Energy instead. Divinity Energy was basically what Mortal Realm beings found to keep cultivating to higher realms. Now that Godly Energy was available, there was simply no need to convert Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source, Chaos, and finally Divinity Energy.

Another good thing was that Iem's talent is almost unmatched thanks to his advantages. Only Krune and a few others would be on par with him. That being said, such a breakthrough went very smooth for him. All the annoying process of energies conversion was skipped with Godly Energy.

Suddenly, an explosion of Godly Energy came out of Iem's body. His cultivation rose at alarming rates. Finally, the Semi-Divinity Realm bottleneck was broken, allowing Iem to step into the Semi-Divinity Realm in just a few minutes.

Of course, more than 90% of the reason for this to be so easy was the Top Quality Godly Stones in the formation. The energy coming from those stones was so pure and concentrated that it made Iem feel like he used a cannonball to break a thin glass window. Obviously, the glass window was his cultivation bottleneck.

After that, he quickly calmed down and controlled the chaotic Godly Energy inside his foundation.

"Phew... No wonder all the three sects want these Top Quality Godly Stones so badly. This thing is better than any pill I can think of."

Krune smiled at Iem.

"That's good. Alright, I'm ready."

Iem's expression changed abruptly after hearing that. Right after, he rushed out of the Energy Gathering and Concealing Formations like a scared cat. Finally, Krune heard his voice from far, far away outside.

"Great! You can start now."

Krune was speechless after seeing that. But the fatal strike came from Luvile.

"I'm so jealous. I wish I could run away, as well."

"Fuck you all!"
