Chapter 457 - Light Spirit's Explanation
With their safety measures completed, Feifei and Tiane let Fie and Liriu come out. Sure enough, it was a lot harder for them to resist the Godly Energy than the others. Still, their parents didn't intervene. It was the only way to have your body used to it.
Seeing that Fie and Liriu were doing fine, the others finally started to focus on their cultivation. One thing is to get used to Goldy Energy, another one is to use it directly. As soon as they allowed Godly Energy to come inside their foundation, everyone grunted in pain.
Sure enough, this wasn't the kind of energy that one could take lightly. Especially now that Feifei's Energy Gathering Formation is bringing even more of this Energy here. To be safe, everyone only allowed a small amount of it to enter every time. There was no helping it, they didn't know how to use it correctly yet.
Well, everyone except for a single guy.
"Ah... It's so good to be able to feel this Energy again. Just how long had it been? I can barely remember..."
Obviously, it was Light Spirit. As someone from the Higher Realm, this kind of energy couldn't possibly cause him any damage. If anything, it increased his recovery speed several times.
"Why are you talking so long? Absorb more! This is far from enough!"
Krune's mouth twitched.
"Absorb more your ass! My foundation trembles every time I take a little, do you want me to break it?"
"Oh! Is that the problem? Alright, then."
Suddenly, Purple Tribulation Lightning spread out and covered the inside walls of Krune's foundation. As soon as Light Spirit did that, the pain of the Higher Realms energy immediately disappear. Krune, of course, was shocked after seeing that.
"Why didn't you do it earlier?!"
Light Spirit snorted.
"You didn't ask."
Krune felt like crying but had no tears.
"Forget it. I was an idiot to expect a proper answer."
Knowing that there was no need to hold back anymore, Krune started to absorb the Godly Energy in this place like a bottomless hole.
Obviously, everyone noticed the difference between them and Krune.
"Could it be that Krune came from the Higher Realms, and we didn't know?"
"Of course not. Krune probably did something ridiculous again. By the way, shouldn't we get away from him? I feel like he might explode again at any moment."
Everyone nodded, and they immediately went to the other side of the Energy Gathering Formation. Not only that, but they all raised their Energy Barriers as well.
Krune almost fainted, seeing that. In just a second, everyone abandoned him, even his family was no exception.
"Who the hell might explode again?! You guys! Do you even care about my feelings?"
Feifei laughed and gave the last fatal hit.
"We don't. If you want to explode, go ahead and blow alone. Don't get us involved."
Even Fie was hiding behind Feifei, afraid that Krune would burst apart at any moment. She might not have seen those events, but she heard enough stories to understand her father's traits. Well... the one who told most of those stories was Ruik, so he made sure to make them look a lot more grandiose than they really were.
"Uncle Ruik, will father explode another planet again?"
Ruik nodded while showing a poker face.
"It is possible."
Krune felt the urge to strangle a certain snake.
"Who the hell exploded a planet? What did you tell her?"
Everyone else immediately burst in laugher after hearing that. Even Heavin on Krune's shoulder couldn't hold himself.
With a broken heart, Krune decided to ignore those ungrateful bunch and focus on his cultivation again.
"Light Spirit, what should I use this Godly Energy for?"
Not losing that chance, Light Spirit advised.
"The first thing you should do is to not explode."
'Et Tu, Brute?' That was the kind of feeling that Krune was having at the moment.
"Fuck you!"
Light Spirit laughed out loud and then continued.
"Alright. I need to explain it to the others, too, anyway."
Light Spirit then used a Divine Sense message to contact everyone at the same time.
"Godly energy is the first type of energy you will all get in contact once you reach the Higher Realms, this much you already know. But what happens when you arrive there? The fact is, your entire being will be changed. You can't live in the Higher Realms with a body from the Lower Realms, so it has to be... let's say... upgraded."
"To resist such an 'upgrade,' you must be at the peak of the Divinity Realm. Only a body at this level can achieve this. As for the preparation for the 'upgrade,' that happens once you pass through the Ascencion Tribulation. You could say that the Ascencion Tribulation is not there to stop you but to test your strength. A cultivator or demon beast who can't pass through the Ascension Tribulation shouldn't even dream about having their bodies changed to accept Godly Energy."
"Of course, this is only part of the reason. After all, it would make no sense to have different levels of Tribulations, but there are. Heavenly Divine Souls, for example, they get the most potent Ascension Tribulations. In their case, this is because the Universe is trying to hold back the Heavenly Core inside their Divine Souls."
"It is no secret for you anymore that the Heavenly Fragments and the fully formed Heavenly Cores are part of the Universe they came from. So the Universe itself is trying to stop you from bringing it away. It is as simple as that."
"Now, about what you should do with the Godly Energy. Your bodies, be it demon beasts or humans, can't possibly withstand such a transformation. Besides, even if you can control Godly Energy, once you leave the Holy Land, this ability will become useless until the day you ascend. That being said, what should you use the Godly Energy for?"
Light Spirit then paid attention to Cinty in the middle of the group.
"I believe Cinty already understood, am I right?"
Cinty was taken aback. Immediately, everyone looked at her, waiting for an explanation.
"Cough, cough. I didn't know if I was doing it correctly or not, but I thought it was worth trying. You guys were trying to use the Godly Energy alone, but that was painful and slow. In my case, I simply mixed the Godly Energy together with the Spiritual Energy before making the conversions."
Light Spirit commended Cinty.
"Very good, and then?"
Cinty continued.
"I had to first find a balance between the two, and I believe that it is different for everyone. After all, each of us has their own level of tolerance. It is not difficult to do it, just start small and keep increasing the amount of Godly Energy mixed with the Spiritual Energy. Soon, you will find a perfect balance for yourselves. After that, I noticed that be it the converted Elemental Source or Chaos Energy, both of them had far higher quality. It simply couldn't compare at all."
"Simply put, using this Chaos Energy for cultivation became a lot faster. Not only that, but I also couldn't see any sign of destabilization of my foundation. This much higher speed of cultivation didn't affect my foundation as all."
Light Spirit confirmed that she was right.
"Cinty is correct. The quality of Godly Energy is several times higher than any energy you can find in the Lower Realms. They simply can't be put at the same level. Even the Divinity Energy that Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realm uses to cultivate is far inferior."
"At the moment, it seems like we are only in the Holy Land's outskirts. From what we found out, there are several higher levels in this place too. The higher we go, the more Godly Energy we will be able to use. So your objective is to first get used with this Godly and Spiritual Energies mixing. Once you find a comfortable position, we will move forward to higher levels. The more Godly Energy used, the faster will be your cultivation."
"With the amount of Godly Energy in this Energy gathering formation, I guess your cultivation speed would double at most. Once you get used to it, let's move ahead."
"Oh, right! There is another thing as well. It seems like no one has entered the world of laws yet. Why don't you try it?"
Sure enough, everyone was taken aback with what they saw.
"The laws are a little different?"
Light Spirit explained.
"No, the laws are still the same. It is just that, with the presence of Godly Energy, it is a lot easier to distinguish them. That's why they look different. The more Godly Energy present, the easier it will be to notice the laws' true forms. Of course, clearly seeing them will only be possible once you reach the Higher Realms. You should be grateful to the Myriad Energies Technique. The laws you see with its support are already much clearer than other cultivators and demon beasts. The Godly Energy only made it even better."
"Anyway, I've spoken too much already. Don't lose this chance. This Holy Land thing, it is indeed an amazing opportunity."
Once Light Spirit finished his words, he sent a message to Krune alone.
"As for you, just get as much Goldy Energy as possible. Since I'm protecting your foundation, you have no need to hold back. Of course, I will use most of it in my recovery, so your cultivation speed won't be that much different from the others."
Krune nodded and started to absorb all the Godly Energy around him. A small part of it was mixed with his Spiritual Energy before converting through the meridians or directly. The rest was left for Light Spirit, who absorbed every spec possible. It seems like Light Spirit will have a feast this time around.
