Krune returned to his restaurant just in time to see it closing its doors for the day. As always, Bai was the one who held the keys, so he was the last one out.
"Hey, Bai."
Bai didn't even need to turn around to know who it was.
"Chef Krune! Welcome back. How was the trip this time?"
Krune smiled.
"Everything went fine. If nothing happens, I should have quite some free time for the next month, so I'll be in the Kitchen from tomorrow onwards."
Bai was obviously happy to hear that.
"Oh, that's great! You will be happy to know that Nina has been doing very well in recovering her skills. Jilin, of course, helped a lot during this time too. If Chef Krune wants, I can call them back. We just closed the restaurant, so they shouldn't have gone too far."
Krune shook his head.
"There is no need. I can talk with everyone tomorrow if necessary. You can go as well. Leave the closure with me."
Bai nodded and bid farewell to Krune before leaving.
Krune then finished everything on his side and went back to his room. There, Luvile used the Tribulation Lightning Layer to conceal any Divine Sense probation. Right after, Krune pulled the Space God Crystal and began to ponder about it.
"Hum... Zule, how much of it you think I would need to improve your equipment?"
Zule's projection appeared outside and looked at the Space God Crystal.
"Well, adding the Space God Crystal wasn't part of the plan to start with. However, it will indeed increase the power of my Spatial Equipment if you do so. Still, this God Crystal is too big."
Zule then began to probe the God Crystal, which took quite a few minutes.
"Considering the level of my equipment and your ability, I would say that 15% of it should be necessary. However, you better keep double in case something goes wrong."
Krune nodded.
"Alright. Luvile, Tribulation Lightning can cut it, right?"
Back then, Zule told them how even a Mortal Rejection Realm would have a hard time dividing the God Crystal. Let alone a Semi-Divinity Realm like him or Iem. However, Tribulation Lightning can eat the very laws that the materials are made of. Obviously, the God Crystal is no exception.
"Yes. However, considering your cultivation, it might need quite some time."
Krune didn't mind, though.
"Well, if there is something we have now, it is time. Guess we can focus on selling the rest of the God Crystal and cultivate for the next few years. With my experience as a Spiritual Chef, neither Iem nor I will lack Godly Energy. Let alone if we pair it with the Top Quality Godly Energy Stones that we will get from now on."
Zule couldn't help but ask, though.
"But what about Franlia's invitation?"
"Oh! That's true. Well, I'll go check it in a month or two."
Right after, Krune used his Tribulation Lightning and began to cut the Space God Crystal. First, he wanted to separate the 30% that he will use to improve Zule's equipment while fixing it. Once that is finished, Krune will cut the rest into several much smaller parts for selling.
Krune's plan was quite simple, he will sell the God Crystal parts separated and under different names. The Blacksmith Network had thought about it a long time ago. To protect lone sellers, they don't stop members from doing such things. The only thing is that you need to be a real member, but your identity is protected when you use this method.
Of course, this wasn't a single day work. The next day quickly arrived, but Krune couldn't cut even half of the first part. That shows just how much he lacks in cultivation when it comes to dividing the Crystal. Without Luvile's power, it wouldn't be more than a dream to cut it.
Just like that, the days began to pass. Soon, weeks went by, then a month.
During this time, both Luvile and Harold warned Krune and Iem that a few Divine Senses had continuously watched the two. Of course, neither Krune and Iem were idiots. They only needed to think for a moment to know that the one who put those guys there was Franlia.
Well, that wasn't a big problem since every time they wanted to hide what they were doing, Luvile and Harold's power was more than enough to do it. Of course, those God Foundation Realm experts that kept spying on them would feel shocked every time Krune and Iem disappeared from their Divine Senses.
They even secretly entered Krune's restaurant and the Formations Guild to see what was happening. After all, what if someone had taken the two away? Nevertheless, they soon found out that Krune and Iem were using some kind of unique concealment method.
Tosely only told them to confirm that Krune and Iem were alright. They were warned that some weird things might happen around the two. However, they should simply ignore it if the two were fine.
Finally, two months later, Krune and Iem decided to go back to the Sky Shifting Sect to check what Franlia wanted to tell them. Well, it was not like they had much more things to do anyway.
Soon, they received a message that they would meet again in Tulike's house at night as always. Tulike talked to them for a while until the night came by too.
"Do you know what it is that Sect Master Franlia wants to talk about?"
Tulike pondered a bit but couldn't think about anything.
"No. I didn't even know why you two were coming by before you told me that it was mother who called you here."
In the end, they could only wait.
Finally, Franlia arrived and invited them to dinner one more time. During it, she decided to go straight to the point.
"There is something I would like you two to do for me. These tribulation powers of yours, it can somehow get rid of laws, right?"
Krune and Iem looked at each other before nodding.
"They can indeed."
Franlia then continued.
"Good! What if I say that I might have a way into the Dimensional Space where that Demon Beast's corpse is?"
Krune and Iem were surprised to hear that. But it was then that Krune thought about something.
"From what I heard before, it is not that higher level cultivators and demon beasts can't enter the Top Quality Godly Energy Veins' Sealed Spaces. Instead, entering it would destroy the Sealed Spaces themselves since they can't support the existence of your cultivations."
"Once that happens, all the Clusters that create those Top Quality Godly Energy Stones will be destroyed as well. That's why you never sent anyone above the peak of the Divinity Realm. However, even if the Sealed Space is destroyed, the Godly Vein itself will not suffer anything. Could it be that you are planning the have it destroyed to search for the other Dimensional Realm within that has the Demon Beast's corpse?"
Although Krune came up with this theory, he knew about the several fatal flaws in it. Still, he didn't point them out since he believes Franlia knew it too.
Sure enough, Franlia shook her head right after.
"No. If we do such a thing, both the Flower River and the Three Peaks Sect will find out immediately. We all agreed to leave our scouts watching around and keep sending us constant reports. Not to mention that Tosely and I often pay a visit to it just to make sure that everything is fine."
"Also, if we do such a thing, the teleport formation that is inside that Sealed Space would be destroyed as well, right? Your approach might be feasible but wouldn't bring any advantages to us. First of all, if it was a better choice, the three sects would have decided on doing that already. After all, losing the Clusters is much better than waiting this long for the Chaotic Barrier of the Sealed Space to stabilize. The fact is that we can't guarantee that we can find another entrance to the Demon Beast's corpse once the teleport formation disappears. That's why we agreed to wait until the space inside stabilizes again."
Iem heard everything until now, but he was puzzled about another thing, though.
"Let's suppose that Sect Master really can find another path into the Dimensional Realm that keeps the Demon Beast Corpse. Wouldn't it be completely chaotic anyway? After all, it is inside the same Dimensional Realm as th-"
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Iem remembered a critical point.
"I'm such an idiot. How could I not think about it before?"
Krune and Tulike looked at Iem with interest. However, Franlia just smiled. She knew that Iem was a Formations Master.
"Seems like you already know what I'm talking about."
Iem nodded.
"Yes. If the Demon Beast Corpse's Dimensional Realm was really inside the Sealed Space, there would be no need for a teleport formation to start with. An ordinary Spatial Gate formation would be several times better. Still, there was such a complicated Teleport Formation that could resist the test of time for who knows how many years. Obviously, the Dimensional Realm that the Demon Beast Corpse is inside most likely is not affected by the Godly Veins Chaotic Space Effect."
Krune didn't know much about formations, so he didn't think about such a possibility before.
"I see... However, how exactly do you intend to find where that Dimensional Space is located? After all, it is not supposed to be in the same Space-Time location, right?"
Franlia nodded.
"It isn't. But I do have a way to find it."
It was then that she brought out a yellow bead. As soon as Krune and Iem saw that, they immediately understood what she was planning to do.
"Vibrant Beads!"
