Is That A Wisp?

Since Krune had no reason to wait, he immediately sent a message over to the address listed in the information.

Just five minutes later, Krune already got an answer.

-Hello there, I'm Ricarte Fonklue. Are you perhaps interested in selling your Jade Slip?-

Krune immediately replied.

-Hi, I'm Darten. No, my group and I are planning to find the location as well so that we can see what is inside. I wish to know what the other owners have decided so far.-

Darten is the name that Krune is using with his new appearance this time around. Before, Krune had used Jolk, the name of the man who first gave him clothes when he left the Katiu Forest for the first time. This time, he used Darten, which was the name of the son of the Head Chef back in the village beside the Katiu Forest. It was that Head Chef that first taught Krune how to cook and gave him his recipes' book. In exchange, Krune had helped Darten to think about what foundation he would create.

Ricarte then started to explain.

-As you probably know, the Mohie Clan is the one controlling the Hara Universe, which is one of the Universes that control Dalin. Any time that an inheritance, tomb, dimensional realm, or whatever with their name on it is found, great riches and danger follow. Still, it would always cause a big ruckus between the No Law Zone Galaxies, and many cultivators and demon beasts would gather.-

-This time it will be no different. Every Jade Slip Owner has already agreed that once we can pinpoint the right location, we will divulge the information straight away. The Mohie Clan related explorations are always filled with corpses, so we don't plan on trying our luck alone.-

-We tried to use our 13 Jade Slips to construct the map where the hidden place is. But so far, all we could find is that it is located in the Lokin Solar System in the Hakasha Galaxy. Because of that, all the Jade Slip owners have gathered in this No Law Zone. If possible, I would like you to join us in the Yatil Planet of the Lokin Solar System. We will try to put all the 14 Jade Slips together to see if we can near down the search range.-

Krune thought something and then decided to add.

-I might be wrong, but I believe that the remaining 4 Jade Slips probably have an owner already.-

Krune thought about this possibility since the previous owner of this Jade Slip definitely knew about the Jade Slips search. After all, the Mohie Clan information was available on the Mission Hall network for everyone to see. That means that the remaining owners probably know about the existence of the rest as well.

Krune then continued.

-Of course, you guys probably already guessed this much. Are you perhaps expecting them to show themselves once we can near down the search range?-

On the other side, Ricarte smiled and then answered Darten's question.

-Smart! That's exactly what we are expecting. Before, we didn't have 13 jade slip owners, but 9 only. It was after we released the info about our gathering that the other 4 decided to join us. Now that we will have 14 together, we expect that at least 2 or 3 more will appear. With some luck, maybe even the last 4 altogether.-

Krune, or better, Darten nodded after reading that.

-As I thought. In that case, when do you plan to gather together?-

-As soon as possible. We have been in this stalemate for over 3 years already, so we want to go do other things, but we are stuck here. All the Jade Slip owners are afraid that once they leave to do something, the others might luckily find the location and move ahead without them.-

Krune pondered a bit and then replied.

-Very well, I will give you an answer soon.-

Krune then turned off his communicator and looked at everyone.

"Well, you saw all the messages, so what do you think?"

Dilo immediately commented.

"Not good. I don't think we are even nearly strong enough to take part in this. By the looks of it, chances are that the other 13 groups probably have Soul Forging and even Void Breaking Realm Cultivators and Demon Beasts on their side. I doubt that we keep our Jade Slip safe once we leave the range of a city. In fact, I doubt we can keep our lives to start with."

Krune then looked at Feifei, and she immediately understood what he meant.

"Alright, pass me the Jade Slip, I will try to divine something. But remember that Soul Forging and Void Breaking Realms are involved in this, so I won't be able to see much."

Krune and the other nodded and waited for Feifei to do her job.

Soon, Krune noticed that Feifei started to sweat all over, and her face started to get pale. Still, he did not stop her since he knows that stopping the process in the middle would waste her efforts.

Around 10 minutes later, Feifei finally finished her divination. She then sat on the floor and started to recover all the energy she lost. Fortunately, she is an Advanced Destiny Major Core Owner. So backlashes are several times smaller than it would be with anyone else.

No one bothered Feifei while she rested and patiently waited for her to open her eyes.

Another two hours went by, and Feifei finally came back to herself.

"As I thought, the scope of this divination is too wide, and the realms involved are too far ahead of my own. Still, there is good news. I could see that no one above the Soul Forging Realm would be able to take part in this. I don't know why that is, though. As for anything else, it is too hard for me at the moment."

Krune nodded and then pondered a bit.

"This information is already more than enough for us. The fact that only the Soul Forging Realm and below can participate is probably because this is a Dimensional Realm. Otherwise, the Void Breaking Realm ones would definitely enter as well. It seems like they won't be able to use the same strategy as they did back in the old Rainbow Sect to force their way in."

"Of course, this is still dangerous. After all, any middle and late stages Soul Forging Realm wouldn't be someone we can deal with easily. The fact that we are the ones holding one of the Jade Slips would make things even more complicated. There is a very high chance that the Jade Slips also act as some kind of keys, so everyone wants to have at least one."

"We also have to think about the trip to the Dimensional Realm entrance. I refuse to believe that we are lucky enough for the entrance to be inside of a city. So on the way there, any Void Breaking Realm that will be accompanying the other groups can smash us and take it for themselves."

"What we need here at the moment is not the Jade Slip, nor the Mohie Zarks inheritance, but a survival plan. How are we going to enter that place without becoming everyone's target?"

Krune then shrugged his shoulders and added.

"Of course, we can also ignore this thing completely and wait for the day we also enter the Soul Forging Realm. As for how long that will take, I have no idea."

It was then that Ruik thought about something.

"What if we call our new friends on this trip?"

Krune looked at him, and his eyes immediately lit up!

"Great! Some of them most likely have Void Breaking Realm protecting them. After all, they were supposed to be geniuses of their own powers. They would make the perfect group on our side."

Feifei couldn't help but comment.

"But what if they decided to attack us as well?"

Krune shook his head.

"It won't happen."

He then looked at the Mission Hall display and started to search for something. When he found that, he smiled playfully.

"Found one. A Void Breaking Realm Demon Beast ready to be contracted. Although it is very expensive to recruit someone in such a realm, it will be worth it. We only need one, that's all."

Ruik and the others immediately understood.

"I see, this guy will be our safety pass while we are dealing with our own group. And our own group will be our safety pass to reach the Place where Mohie Zarks hid the Dimensional Realm."

Tiane then asked something else.

"Still, isn't there a risk of us being betrayed right from the start by this guy? What if you pay, and he doesn't even come?"

Krune smiled and looked at Feifei once more.

"I see... so that's how it is. Leave it to me! If all I need is to Divine if he will betray us or not, then even if he is in the Void Breaking Realm, I should still be able to see this much. After all, I don't really need to see all the details of his or her future, only what the part related to us."

Ruik and the others immediately got excited. It seems like this trip to Hakasha Galaxy is starting to get interesting.
