Because the five ascended together, they were sent to the same place. Of course, it was vastly different from the planet Krune first arrived back then. After all, he ascended from Dalin last time. This time around, he ascended in the Luvile Universe.
As soon as they appeared, they felt extreme cold from the snowstorm that was happening around them. It was quite surprising since even Krune, with his Peak Divinity Realm cultivation, couldn't block it completely, let alone Feifei. As for Heavin, he was a Divine Soul, so he couldn't feel cold to start with.
However, Feifei and Heavin had more serious matters to worry about, unlike Luvile, Soren, and Krune. That's because they still hadn't passed through the first Transformation. Naturally, they felt the same pressure as Krune and Iem did back them. It's just that it was a lot easier for them due to their much higher cultivation.
Krune immediately used his Godly Energy Meridians to gather Godly Energy and blocked the storm for Feifei and Heavin. The two then took a deep breath and began to concentrate on the Transformation.
Soren looked at Heavin and began to give him instructions on how to go about his breakthrough.
"Accept the Godly Energy directly into your Mental Energy Source and Soul. Use the fused five elements to keep them locked and the cultivation technique to initiate the conversion. It might sting a little bit, but this is a one-time event. You need to endure. Once you reach the limit, aim to breakthrough."
"Yes, Master!"
Soren looked at Krune and Feifei before saying.
"You two should remember this as well for the day you reach the Godly Soul Sorce Realm."
Krune nodded. As for Feifei, she heard that but didn't have time to think about it. Krune already told her everything she should do, so she was concentrated on entering the First Stage of the Transformation Realm.
As mentioned before, the Transformation Realm wasn't really a realm per se. It's just an adaptation of the body and dantian (or demon core) to live in the Godly Path Realm. It used the Transformation Laws present in the Godly Path Realm to achieve this result. The Transformation had nine stages, but Feifei would still be considered a Divinity Realm cultivator even if she was at the peak of the Transformation Realm. The same went for Krune and everyone who was born in the Godly Path Realm.
Krune, for example, had been in the Transformation Realm first stage ever since the time he arrived in the Godly Path Realm the first time. Unfortunately, only those at the Peak of the Divinity Realm could advance in the Transformation Realm. Krune would basically start in the First Stage, just like Feifei.
Last but not least, Feifei used the opportunity to transform her Chaos Meridians into Godly Energy Meridians. In fact, this part would be much faster, and it was what Krune used to resist the Godly Energy pressure of the Godly Path Realm back then.
Around an hour had passed when finally, Feifei's meridians finished the Transformation. With Krune's experience from the last time, it was easy for him to tell Feifei how she should proceed. From there on, she pressed for the Transformation Realm's First Stage.
Luvile and Soren used their Divine Senses to check around. However, the Godly Path Realm's Godly Energy severely blocked it. Mental Energy had an easier time piercing through, though. Then again, the Mental Energy scan always had a much smaller range than Divine Senses to start with. In the end, it wasn't that much different.
In the end, Feifei was the first one to finish her Transformation.
"Phew... I'm finally done. How's Heavin?"
Soren shook his head as he replied.
"Unlike you, he needs to break through into a new realm while changing his Soul and Mental Energy Source into Godly ones. You can consider it the equivalent to entering the Mortal Rejection Realm. It should take at least another ten or so hours for him to finish. Well, his talent with Soul Cultivation is higher than mine, so he might finish much faster than that."
Surprisingly, Soren was right. Instead of taking ten hours, Heavin had done it within six hours.
In an instant, Krune's group felt the presence of the Tribulation Power gathering above them. It's just that they couldn't see it due to the storm.
Nonetheless, they weren't surprised.
"Sure enough, just like the Mortal Rejection Realm, the Godly Soul Source Realm is also where you get a Tribulation."
Heavin looked in the sky's direction, prepared to receive the test.
"Don't worry, Master. I can definitely overcome it."
Soren nodded.
"Obviously. It would be a joke if you died from the weakest tribulation of the Godly Path Realm."
As mentioned before, The Tribulation in the Godly Path Realm didn't start at the Core Formation Realm. Instead, it only started at the Mortal Rejection Realm. That's because the Godly Path Realm had way more living beings than the Mortal Realm. Besides, the Godly Path Realm wasn't divided by Universes. It was a massive whole. Well, it was still as big as the Universes of the Mortal Realm combined, though.
Tribulation Lightning rained down on Heavin's Phoenix Puppet. Fortunately, Krune provided him with Godly Path Realm Materials in the past to upgrade it. Thanks to that, it was quite resistant to the power of the Tribulation.
*boom, boom, boom...*
After some, the final tribulation lightning came down, even stopping the storm for a moment, allowing them to see the sky. But soon, the snowstorm engulfed the open space, covering their vision once more.
Heavin's Phoenix Puppet was charred black. The only part that remained was the beak made with God Realm material, the Stellar Needle. However, his Divine Soul was more or less fine. If anything, it was tempered by the Tribulation Lightning instead. It pretty much looked like what Krune did in the past with his own Soul.
"Sigh... I liked this Phoenix Puppet so much..."
"Don't you have any other puppet?"
"Of course I do!"
Heavin's Spatial Neck later flashed with silver light for a moment. Soon after, another Phoenix Puppet that looked pretty much the same as the one he used had appeared. It's just that it didn't have a beak. Heavin then brought his Soul out of his body and entered the new puppet. Following that, he used his control over Godly Energy to remove the broken puppet's beak and attach it to the new one.
"You can move parts that easily?"
Heavin shook his head.
"I can only do this for the beak. That's because this beak is the most important part, so I didn't want to lose it just because my puppet's body broke apart. That being said, I've always made puppets that could receive the beak at any time."
Krune and the others nodded in response. After that, they finally took a look around in the storm.
"Feifei and I can't fly, so we can't head up to check."
Luvile nodded.
"Wait here for a bit. I'm going up."
Simultaneously, Soren brought the rest of the Black Water out of his Spatial Ring. One must remember that Soren only took a tiny part of it. Now he would be taking the rest all at once.
The Black Water quickly entered Soren's body and headed straight to his Soul before merging with his Mental Energy Source. As that happened, Soren's strength began to rise at an alarming rate, quickly reaching the level of a Nascent Soul God in power. After all, he was already a Soul God, so it would be wrong to say that he broke through to the Nascent Soul God Realm.
As he did it, Luvile reached outer space as he looked around. Unfortunately, his foundation had just been fixed recently. His cultivation was still in the Mortal Rejection Realm level because of that. That being said, his range of Divine Sense wasn't even able to cover a tenth of the planet they were in.
"Sigh... I better leave it for Soren to take a look."
"Hehe. It's good that you can recognize your limitations."
Suddenly, Soren appeared by his side with a smug face. Soren's cultivation wasn't any better than Luvile. In fact, it was a lot worse since this was a body he got in the Mortal Realm. Its cultivation wasn't any higher than the Divinity Realm. However, it mattered little for Soren since he never relied on that to start with.
"Hmph! Just wait until this god recovers. I don't need to care about breakthroughs since I've passed through them already. All I need is a lot of energy."
Soren could not help but laugh in response.
"I don't even need that much. Hahaha!"
Soren then focused his Mental Energy and spread it outwards. His power could already be considered at the very peak of the Nascent Soul God Realm. That said, his Mental Energy Scan could cover thousands of Solar Systems at once. Well, if it was the Mortal Realm where Godly Energy doesn't exist, this level of Mental Energy might be able to cover an entire Universe. That's how much difference Godly Energy made to one's perception.
Nonetheless, it was more than enough for Soren to find a planet where he could get information.
"Oh! For a moment, I thought we had been sent to a lifeless planet. However, there are still a few cultivation cities here."
Luvile nodded in response, saying.
"That makes sense. After all, this is where those from the Luvile Universe are sent when they ascend. Although there are very few in the Luvile Universe who succeed in their ascension tribulation, too much time has passed already. It's only a matter of time for cultivators and demon beasts to band together and form settlements."
Soren nodded as the two went back into the planet to tell Krune and the others.
"Alright, I found something. Let's go."
