Is That A Wisp?

To prevent any mishaps from happening, Krune and his Group went straight back to the Wisp Main World. After all, those Heavenly Fragments were obviously being felt by the other Heavenly Fragment Owner. They don't even know if there is just one or more of them either. So far, they found out the Yin, Yang, and Death Heavenly Fragments. If they consider the Elemental and Destiny ones, it means that there is still another 4 to be found. Life, Time, Space, and Blackhole.

After arriving there, Krune and Feifei went straight to Tiane to take their child back. As for Heavin, he knew everything that happened already. When Krune let him awake, he took control of the parrot and returned to his Puppeteer training. As for the wisps that accompained Krune, they immediately returned to the Time Slowing Formations.

Tiane, who had been nervous this entire time, couldn't help but tear up when Feifei came back. Feifei hugged her and patted her head until she calmed down.

As for Ruik... he was sleeping...

Seeing that, Krune couldn't help but send him flying with a kick again.

"Can't you be a little more concerned about me?"

Ruik, who was awakened, didn't look the least bit happy.

"Concerned your head! I have long since understood that you are just like a cockroach, you simply don't die. So what was there to be concerned about?"

Krune didn't know if he should feel happy or sad with that comment.

"Whatever..."

Krune then sent a Divine Sense message to explain everything at once. After getting Fie back, Krune and Feifei went to Cinty's house so that they could ask her opinion.

Cinty let off a sigh of relief when they came back. In fact, she had to admit that they returned way faster than she thought.

"It seems like your opponents didn't try to call the Dalin Universe Management. In the end, it was just like you thought."

Krune nodded.

"That was to be expected. Otherwise, even if we died, Hobbek and Rannia most likely wouldn't acquire the Heavenly Fragments. So it would be a terrible idea to do so since they were very confident in their victory."

Krune also used a Divine Sense message to tell Cinty everything that happened.

"I see... Since there is no way to destroy it, and hiding is meaningless, you might as well fuse with them. After all, it is not like it is a totally bad thing. You will jump several Stages of cultivation, and it will be enough to prevent any bottleneck. The laws related to each of the Heavenly Fragments will also be a lot easier to comprehend."

Krune and Feifei nodded. They just came here to see if Cinty had some other idea, but it seems like she doesn't know about anything else.

"Just make sure to go to the Tribulation Field before absorbing the Fragments. Feifei would definitely enter the Soul Forging Realm with it. As for Krune, there is a good chance of that happening as well. So you need to be ready for the Heavenly Tribulation."

Krune couldn't help but remember what Karine said.

"Karine told me that once I reached the Soul Forging Realm, I should go back to the Elemental Path. You also wanted to come, right, Cinty?"

Cinty's eyes lit up!

"Right! So it would happen this early... I wanted to be in the Divine Path Realm at least before going there, but I guess I can't just make you wait, right?"

Krune pondered a bit and then asked.

"How long do you think it would take for you to reach the Divine Path Realm?"

Cinty was at the 8th Stage of the Void Breaking realm at the moment. Also, her cultivation could be said to be one of the fastest in the Dalin Universe thanks to the Elemental Meridians and her Blackhole Divine Soul. When she got the Myriad Energies Technique, she was still in the 5th Stage. It means that she jumped three Stages of the Void Breaking Realm in just 5 and a half years! There weren't many out there that could match her cultivation speed.

"If I continue like this, I believe I would need between two and a half years to three years. But this would be enough for you to enter the Soul Forging Realm even without the Heavenly Fragments. So are you sure you want to wait for me?"

Feifei then said.

"I don't really mind to enter the Soul Forging Realm through the normal way. In fact, I think it would be safer if we did that. You never know if something could happen, so who knows if the Tribulation doesn't suddenly change because we made a Breakthrough like that?"

Krune then commented.

"What about the other Heavenly Fragment Owners. As long as we don't absorb it, any other one would feel these fragments. We don't know how many Heavenly Fragment owners are remaining in the Dalin universe, after all."

Cinty shrugged her shoulders.

"Would that make any difference? Your 'coatings' disappeared already. So once the others disappear as well, they will naturally feel your presence. The Heavenly Fragments just so happen to be in the same place as you two. Considering that no one can barge into our Wisp Main World, it will be useless even if they know it is here."

Feifei then remembered something.

"But isn't it the chance of our illegal entrance being discovered that makes it a problem? Hobbek and Rannia knew about Krune, so chances are that the others also know it."

Krune nodded.

"That was also the reason why we took in Hobbek and Rannia's challenge. To prevent them from thinking about this possibility since they couldn't enter the Wisp Main World. After we accepted their challenge, their minds were focused on the battle that was about to happen, not in a way to force us out of the Wisp Main World."

"In that case, you can only absorb the fragments so that their presence will disappear."

While they were pondering about what to do, Feifei felt a ripple coming from the pocket Dimensional Realm Box. The next second, Fie appeared on her arms, crying. 

"She is just hungry again."

Looking at Fie, who was drinking Feifei's milk, the couple realized something.

"We shouldn't be hesitating. For Fie, we should take the risk since we can't really get rid of the Heavenly Fragments."

Feifei nodded.

"Let's just fuse with the Heavenly Fragments then."

Cinty couldn't help but feel a little jealous of that scene.

"Alright, since you reached a decision, you better do it as soon as possible. I will follow you into the Elemental Path as well, no need to wait for me to enter the Divine Path Realm."

Sometime later, Fie was finally satisfied and fell asleep again.

Krune looked at Feifei and said.

"I will be absorbing my Heavenly Fragment first. If I breakthrough and something different happens, I should be able to deal with it with my Tribulation Lightning."

Feifei agreed with Krune since she had seen he using Tribulation Lightning against the Dalin's Heavenly Tribulation before.

Feifei sent Fie back to the pocket realm box, and the two immediately moved to the Tribulation Field. Krune also informed Heavin and the others. Heavin, of course, was the one most concerned about that new Heavenly Fragment. After all, it was something directly connected to his existence. But he also knew that it would give Krune and himself a great boost in overall strength.

"Let's do this!"

The process of breaking through into the Soul Forging Realm did not affect the Divine Soul, though. The Soul Forging Realm would remodel the cultivators or demon beasts' real soul. That was so that it could get prepared to control the tremendous amount of energy that would be available during the next realms. 

Of course, although the Divine Soul didn't suffer any change, it would still get stronger and able to use even more energy with every Stage of the Soul Forging Realm.

As for how that Soul Forging happened, one would need to fuse it would Elemental Source Energy. The process was really a complete transformation between what it was and what it will be. One had to strike their own soul with Elemental Source Energy without stop. As if you are forging a completely new soul. That's where the name came from as well.

Krune and Heavin's Parrot Puppet were looking at the Yang Heavenly Fragment in front of them. They then looked at each other and nodded.

"Time to start!"

First, Krune brought out several Spirit Stones from his Spatial Ring. He would need as much Spiritual Energy as possible during the forging process. With that done, he pulled the Yang Heavenly Fragment into his Foundation. It stopped just beside the Divine Soul. Heavin could feel that both Heavenly Fragments, his own and the one in front of him, were calling each other.

"Well, here goes nothing..."

Heavin then pulled the Heavenly Fragment against his Divine Soul. When both fragments touched each other, they melted. The two melted liquids seemed to struggle to get together for a few moments until they finally became one. Heavin felt like his mind became lethargic during that time as well. He could barely think at all. Fortunately, it didn't take long. After the liquids became one, they assumed the form of a bigger Core Fragment with twice the original size of each one.

Heavin's mind also came back to normal, and he finally relaxed. What he was most afraid of is that the new Heavenly Fragment might have done something to him. But it seemed that it was not the case. If anything, he feels that his mind is a lot clear now.

With the new Heavenly Fragment in place, Krune's cultivation, which was already close to the 8th Stage, instantly broke through. Like Feifei, there was no cultivation disorders, chaotic energy, a burst of Spiritual Energy, or anything like that. In fact, Krune could understand why Feifei didn't notice her cultivation improvement for the first time. If Krune wasn't paying attention to his cultivation, he, too, would not have noticed it.

Krune's cultivation then started to increase once again. The way it was improving, Krune knew that he would not have a problem reaching the peak of Divine Soul Realm, so there was only the Soul Forging Realm in front of him now.
