Is That A Wisp?

Krune looked in the direction pointed by the Soul Needle. It was a swirling mass of Godly Energy being actuated by countless laws that clustered together to create a visual spectacle. 

All sorts of abilities were being launched in there by the laws forming the infant supercontinent. With a single glance, it was apparent that something incredibly precious was forming in there. Once formed, it would become one of the important locations of the completed supercontinent. 

At the core of it seemed to be a treasure, based on how the Soul Needle seemed to be pointing at it without changing. 

Unfortunately, Krune had no idea how to enter that violent storm to obtain the treasure. It wasn't possible with his current capabilities. Well, even if he obtained it successfully, he would have expended all his Godly Energy reserves and would still be injured atop that. 

It would be hard for him to protect the treasure after that. 

Since he still needed to find the two items asked by Lady Strombisu, he didn't wish to weaken himself for a treasure. In fact, his original goal was to heal the defects in him and reach the Nascent God Realm. 

That took priority over a treasure. 

"Then again, if I manage to complete all my objectives, I'll return here and see if it's possible to retrieve the treasure in there." The Cloud Whale turned around and began to fly somewhere else. 

For those that had entered the infant supercontinent, traveling in the vacuum was somewhat troublesome. After all, they had to shield themselves while unleashing abilities that would propel them forward in the void. 

As for Krune, it was relatively simpler. 

Once the Cloud Whale arrived at the void, it turned around and unleashed an Air Needle. The force it unleashed was enough to send it flying away due to inertia. 

While doing so, Krune returned to his wisp form, shrinking his ethereal body until only his Wisp Core remained. After this, he also shrunk the Cloud Whale to its tiniest form possible as it banked upon all the force to move faster and for longer durations. 

He casually traveled through the void by expending the least amount of Godly Energy possible. After all, the first Air Needle was condensed from the air in the tiny continent. So, he didn't even have to expend Godly Energy to generate air. 

As the Cloud Whale continued to travel, Krune noticed a small group of cultivators flying in a certain direction. Curious, he accelerated the Cloud Whale their way, expanding its size before retracting it. 

Krune covered himself with a barrier of ice before propelling himself by generating wind. He didn't wish to show that he could travel through the void casually, unlike others. 

So, he tried to blend in with the others by acting like he was in a similar situation to them. Soon, when he approached them close enough, the group of cultivators noticed him, tensing up for a moment.

"Hello there, fellow cultivators." Krune arrived before them, cupping his fists as he asked, "I was just curious as to where you were heading towards."

Upon seeing that he was just a curious traveler, the group visibly relaxed. Moreover, one of them probed through his cultivation base, noticing that he was only at the Ninth Stage God Core Realm, conveying the information to the others. 

They no longer treated him as a threat after that as the one that seemed to be the leader of the group laughed and replied, "Friend, we're currently heading towards the Godly Inhibition Tower."

"What's that?" Krune asked curiously.

"Since you're our junior, it makes sense that you're unaware." One of them smiled before explaining, "The Godly Inhibition Tower is a place where you won't be able to use your Godly Energy. In there, you won't be able to use any godly abilities. Even your Divine Sense would be inhibited."

"Then, why are you heading there, senior?" Since he was addressed as a junior, Krune put on an innocent act. "It seems pretty dangerous."

"That's because of the treasures there." The one he addressed as a senior seemed content of being addressed as such as she continued further, "This place is actually a tower consisting of nine levels. In fact, it had formed naturally. Every floor contains a natural formation that would inhibit your Godly Energy."

"This is the best place to train yourself," she smiled as she continued. "After all, once you have adapted to the inhibition placed on you, you'll be able to wield your Godly Energy there. With that, you can head towards a higher level and repeat the same."

"The higher the level in the tower, the stronger the inhibition. Plus, it conforms to our cultivation bases as well. All of us spend our time in the fourth level since the inhibition there can limit Nascent Gods," she said with the grace of one knowledgeable. "You should cultivate in the third level. It'll allow you to compress the Godly Energy in your body, raising its quality."

"Thank you for the information." Krune nodded. "Sorry to hinder you on your journey." 

"It's fine. In fact, you can accompany us," the lady said when all the others nodded in response. It seemed since Krune was weaker than them, they didn't feel threatened to be in his presence. 

And besides, he was rather pleasant to look at, only if they ignored his rainbow-colored hair, which was…pretty tacky.

Thanking them in response, Krune joined the group, casually conversing with them as they moved across the void. 

"By the way, which sect are you from, junior brother?" one of them asked.

"The Mountain Sect," Krune replied. "Have you heard about it, seniors?"

"Hmm, not really. Is the sect not famous?" one of them asked. 

"It's actually a tiny sect located in a faraway continent," Krune replied. 

"Well, there are countless sects. Plus, we generally don't know about any sects beyond the continents surrounding us." The lady laughed, saying, "Still, you seem pretty confident in your strength to come here when you aren't even a Nascent God."

"I am just desperate. Nothing grand, haha." Krune laughed wryly as they continued to travel. 

A day later, they arrived before a grand building that floated in the void, one that spanned hundreds of kilometers in height.
