Chapter 311 - Upgrade
Krune didn't mind if he was buying cheap ones. With the money from the Purple Pills and the Elemental Path Stones, this expenditure wasn't that hard to cover.
"But there is one thing I'm curious. The Divine Soul Realm stages are also your Realm, right? Wouldn't it turn out to be the same thing? As you know, we are at what is called 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. It means that you are in the 4th Stage too."
Heavin shook his head.
"Although it is true that it is us that are in the 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, it is still a Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy cultivation type. What is increasing here is my power at absorbing and controlling those energies. Of course, it is also increasing my own level as a Divine Soul so that you can enter the Soul Forging Realm later."
Heavin continued.
"But what I want to create is the soul related part. Something that will have realms for a Soul to cultivate. It will be something totally different. You can consider it as a new cultivation system that doesn't exist at the moment."
Krune approved.
"Alright, I hope it works well for you."
Heavin looked at Krune and then said.
"What are you talking about? This thing is not only for me, but for the two of us."
Krune and Feifei looked at puzzled at him.
Heavin noticed their doubts and then explained.
"I am, after all, your Divine Soul. If I want to create a real Soul Cultivation Technique, I will need the the Main Soul to cultivate it as well. We are connected, our lives are one with each other. That's why when I increase my Divine Soul Realm, you also become stronger. If I want to cultivation a new system based on soul, you will need to do it as well. It will benefit both parties equally."
Feifei heard that and pretended to wipe a tear of her eyes.
"To think that my Heavin has grown up so much. He is even thinking about the others now."
Heavin felt embarrassed hearing that and pretended that he didn't care. Of course, Krune was connected to him, so he knows how he was feeling.
"Alright, Heavin. I will try to help you as much as I can."
Heavin stiffly nodded.
"Ye-yes."
Krune knew very well that Feifei was a very important existence for Heavin, even though he rarely showed it on the surface. A proof of it is that even until now, he had never asked about using another puppet. He had always treasured Feifei's Parrot Puppet a lot and never asked for a stronger one. He even often did maintenance on it himself and it could be said that the Parrot was a lot more lifelike than it was in the past.
It was at this moment that Krune had an idea and used a Divine Sense message.
"Feifei, what about we give an upgrade to the Parrot Puppet?"
Feifei looked at Krune and understood what he was thinking.
"Indeed, Heavin has always been held by the limitations of the Parrot Puppet. But he seems to be thinking about me as well, so he never asked to change it. In that case, maybe I should send it to the Puppeteer's Organization to have it enhanced."
Krune nodded.
"Exactly. But even though I'm the one giving this idea, it doesn't change the fact that this is a gift that your mother gave you when you were a kid. So before you decide to ask Heavin, you should think if you want to have it modified at all. That's because I know that Heavin will definitely ask you the same question."
Feifei smiled and nodded.
"It's okay. It is indeed very important to me, but so is Heavin and you. An object is, in the end, an object. Heavin will have the abilities to do much more if I send it to be upgraded. In fact, I think I will convince Heavin to change it to a better one. An humanoid puppet would be a lot more useful for him."
Krune nodded and left it for Feifei to decided. This is her Parrot, so he will not intervene in her final decision.
Feifei looked at Heavin, who was still pretending that he wasn't embarrassed, and then asked.
"Heavin, would you like to have a better puppet to control?"
Heavin immediately looked at Feifei with surprised eyes. But he soon understood why Feifei asked it and then shook his head. It was obvious that she was thinking about the limitations or her Parrot Puppet. After all, it was made for a kid in the Qi Condensation Realm to use.
"No need. I like it a lot and have no intention of getting a different one."
Feifei and Krune smiled hearing that. For them, it was also very obvious why Heavin said that.
"In that case, would you like to have it upgraded? I can't help but feel depressed everytime I think about how much more you could do in the outside world. That shouldn't be a problem, yea?"
Heavin, on the other hand, felt a little concerned.
"But this is a gift that you got from your mother. If you change, it wouldn't be the same anymore."
Feife smiled and shook her head.
"There is no problem. I have already decided to upgrade it, and so I will. I just need to know if you are fine with it."
Krune also added.
"If we get it upgraded to a Golden Stars Level Puppet, there will be a lot more for you to help us in the future. A Puppet at that level can even battle if necessary. This is also something that I was concerned. If we get involved in something dangerous, we might not have the change to pay attention to it. Even though you are my Divine Soul and nothing will happen to you even if it is broken, I would rather avoid losing Feifei's Parrot if possible."
Krune's last statement was all that was needed for Heavin to make up his mind.
"Alright. But the one who is going to make the modifications is me! I won't allow anyone else to touch Feifei's Parrot."
Krune and Feifei were taken aback.
"But to upgrade it to a Golden Stars Level, you will need to be a Golden Stars Puppeteer yourself."
Heavin snorted and said.
"So what? Any profession at the Golden Stars can use Laws in their creations. Since Krune and I are connected, I also can use his Laws. I just need to practice. The Spiritual Energy Manipulation that this Parrot has is more than enough to manipulate the materials for practicing."
Heavin then looked at Krune and asked.
"Krune, would it be a problem if you stopped by the Puppeteers Organization and register yourself as a Puppeteer to get their study materials?"
Krune nodded.
"Sure, no problem."
Krune then thought about something else.
"By the way, what level has your Mind Splitting Technique reached already? Will you be able to do three things at the same time?"
Heavin laughed and showed a proud expression.
"I'm already at the advanced level, and very close to culmination. At the moment, I can split my mind in four!"
Krune was happy for him.
"Very good. In that case, I will go to the Puppeteer Organization after we leave this city. Besides, I guess it is already time for us to depart."
Feifei smiled happy after hearing all of that. Those two were going to that extent just because it is important to her.
"Alright, you two. I'm counting on you to make a good work with my Parrot."
Heavin put a wing on his chest and declared with a determined face.
"I shall not disappoint you."
Krune and Feifei looked at that and laughed out loud. That was a very funny interaction.
That same day, Krune's group gathered together to discuss.
"As you already noticed, there is almost no Elemental Path Stones anymore. Not to mention that they have little to no effect on any of us. Considering the price of the Free Collection Pass, I don't think that it is worth our effort. So I'm suggesting that we should leave now."
No one had any reason to refuse Krune's idea. They, too, have noticed that there wasn't much more to be done here. Besides, there was almost no one using free collection passes anymore. It would be weird if they kept paying for them when there were almost no stones available.
Ruik and Tiane looked at each other and nodded.
"That's a good thing then. Tiane and I have been cultivating all this time and only stopped to take a few missions when we were at the peak of the Core Formation Realm. After the breakthrough, we focused back in the Elemental Path Stones and cultivation. We are already on the 3rd Stage, and we still hadn't had a chance to try our Divine Soul Realm power. Since we are leaving, the two of us will then take some missions in the Mission Hall to get used to this Realm."
Everyone nodded.
"I think that this is the case for everyone here. Feifei and I were also going to do the same, and so I believe Dilo and Xankruan will do."
Dilo and his wife confirmed.
"Indeed. Xankruan hasn't tried to enter the Soul Forging Realm yet because she wants to get used to her peak Divine Soul Realm. If she tried to enter the next Realm like this, she might lose control over her own power. So we, too, are going out to gain some combat experience. In my case, I finished revising my Domain, and I want to test it out."
Krune then looked at everyone and asked.
"Since that's the case, let's talk about our progress in the Laws as well. It should help a lot to have several points of view of what we comprehended to far."
