Is That A Wisp?

"So, how did you appear here?"

Upon hearing her question, Krune noticed that the pressure she exerted seemed to be invading deeper and deeper into his Spiritual Incarnation, feeling like it would reach his clones on the Zamuria Continent if he dared to delay. 

At first, he thought of lying by saying that a spatial anomaly was the cause that sent him here. However, there were a lot of risks with this. So, he decided to just come out with the truth. "I used a treasure to arrive here. I thought the location marked in it would be somewhere in the outskirts of a city, but I didn't know I would appear here, to be honest."

"A treasure?" Lady Strombisu suddenly chuckled. "Brat, you shouldn't lie, you know? Any treasure in your eyes is just mere low-class equipment in my eyes. They definitely cannot pass through my spatial array."

"The one that sold this treasure to me called it the 36 Pearl Dimensional Relic," Krune said with all honesty, noticing the other party becoming surprised all of a sudden.

"The 36 Pearl Dimensional Relic…?" she muttered in silence, laughing soon after. "To think I would hear about it once again. So, how did you get your hands on it?"

Whether it was necessary or not, Krune didn't have much choice. So, he explained the circumstances with Hrook that allowed him to trade this treasure in return for his opponent killing him. 

"Hahaha!" When he was done, Lady Strombisu laughed and said, "To think she sold the item I had given her for something so basic."

"Ma'am, you created this treasure?" Krune was surprised. But upon recalling how the first pearl transported him to the place, he understood. 

"It's something I made so long ago that I forgot about it entirely." Lady Strombisu retracted the pressure she exerted, watching Krune's figure slowly recover as she asked him, "So, you used that to arrive here from the Guria Continent?"

"From the Zamuria Continent," Krune replied. 

"They're pretty far away. How did you have enough energy to activate it?" she asked soon after. 

"I was in a massive energy-gathering formation that had been abandoned. Once I used the Godly Energy accumulated there, it was easy," Krune answered, putting the blame on the Lawless Plains. Since he had teleported from there, he technically wasn't lying…too much.

"So, why is a kid like you taking on such a risk? Based on what I can sense, you're strong enough that anyone below an immortal can never hope to even injure you," she said as she frowned.

Upon seeing that Lady Strombisu didn't express any animosity towards him, Krune replied truthfully, "I'm in search of Law Pools."

"Law Pools…?" Her eyes narrowed as Lady Strombisu asked, "And, what do you need them for? Unless you're a Primal God, you cannot even touch them."

"Actually, it seems my race is defective in nature. So, I need to rely upon some Law Pools to gradually heal my defects. But, since I cannot use the ones in a continent, I was searching for infant continents," Krune said in a hurry, watching Lady Strombisu's expression morph constantly. 

Eventually, she sighed, "Who the heck told you all these things? It's not something someone as weak as you should know about. An entire continent will be destroyed if you mess around with such stuff."

She then connected the dots, chuckling as she said, "So that's why you are searching for an infant continent. Interesting!"

It seemed that she didn't even need to hear Krune's response, having already observed his character in full detail using her powers. In any case, she was aware that whatever Krune said conformed to his character, his ideology.

She then thought of an idea, smiling as she told him, "Well, there aren't any infant continents in and around here. You'll have to proceed more towards the center of the God Realm. And even if you teleport to the closest location present in the 36 Pearl Dimensional Relic, it'll still take you a century to reach the closest one."

"A century, huh…" Krune muttered, sighing as he mentally prepared himself for that.

"And even if you head there, the Law Pool there might not be the one you're expecting," Lady Strombisu added. 

Upon seeing Krune sulk in response, she laughed as she told him, "Then again, there's an even better option for you. With this, you'll only need to visit one place, and there's a guarantee that all the Law Pools that you seek would be available here."

"There's such a place?" Krune was surprised, asking in excitement. 

"Yep." Lady Strombisu laughed upon seeing his excitement, patting his head once before explaining, "There is an infant supercontinent that has been forming. It's a perilous place where immortals cannot set foot due to the backlash of the laws involved and due to the fact that we would destabilize the supercontinent's development. So, only mortals can head in to explore and reap the countless treasures there."

"The amount of treasures there is unimaginable to think of for even immortals like me." She laughed, patting Krune once again as she asked him, "What do you think about going there, brat?"

Considering the fact that Lady Strombisu was probably an old monster that had lived for countless millennia, Krune didn't feel any anger upon being treated like a brat by her. Technically speaking, in terms of age, he was only a hatchling compared to her. 

Once he digested her words, Krune asked in response, "There should be a catch here, right?"

"You're pretty smart." Lady Strombisu smiled before saying, "I'll teleport you directly to the border of the infant supercontinent where the tokens necessary to enter the barrier shrouding the place are given out. When you return, I'll directly send you back to the Zamuria Continent."

"All you need to harvest for me in the infant supercontinent is the Eight Elemental Nascent Lotus and the Saffiric Pearl," she said. "I'll also give you everything necessary for this journey."

"It's a place where you cannot place your Land Incarnation. So, your powers would be severely limited. There are also countless dangers there since it's teeming with cultivators that are trying to gather the treasures," Lady Strombisu warned him. "So, anything you need for this trip, I'll provide it to you."

"Are you willing to take this risk?"
