Is That A Wisp?

Sisan didn't take long to notice the difference in the speed of time either. After all, he was someone who comprehended Time Laws. Of course, he hasn't got all of them merged into the Major Law of Time. To enter the Divine View Realm, he used the Major Law of Fire instead. Still, he knew more than enough for him to perceive it. The only thing was that he couldn't tell that it was ten times faster like Luvile and Harold.

Suddenly, Krune thought about a possibility and immediately tested it. Right after, his body began to rise in the air.

"Hey, look! I can fly!"

Iem and Sisan were surprised when they looked at Krune. Seeing that, the two of them tried to control their Godly Energy to bring their bodies above the ground. Sure enough, they also began to keep themselves midair. In Sisan's case, he couldn't help but feel excited. After all, he had never had the power to fly on his own before.

"It's the low concentration of Godly Energy. It is not enough to force us to stay down."

Iem and Sisan agreed with Krune about that.

"Anyway, this is good news. Where should we go first?"

Sisan heard those words and found it weird the lack of enthusiasm from Krune and Iem. After all, no one could fly before the Mortal Rejection Realm. However, here are they, flying... Still, neither of them seemed to care much about it.

'Could it be that I'm too childish?'

Iem and Krune didn't notice Sisan's thoughts, though.

"There isn't much of a point discussing it. After all, we don't know anything about this place. We might as well select any direction and see what we can find."

The three immediately nodded and decided to go west. Just like that, Krune's group began their journey. At first, Krune and Iem thought that they would encounter some intelligent Demon Beasts sooner or later. However, even after flying for an entire day, the highest cultivation they found was Void Breaking Realm. It was far from enough for a demon beast to gain sentience. One must remember that Demon Beasts only gain sentience once they reach the Semi-Divinity Realm in the Godly Path Realm.

They even began to think that perhaps this planet only had low-level demon beasts. Of course, they soon discarded such an idea since there was a protection formation protecting this planet. For it to protect this planet that well, it had to receive maintenance constantly. Obviously, demon beasts without intelligence wouldn't be able to do it.

The situation changed on the second day. From a certain point onward, the cultivation of those beasts began to increase. They even saw a Demon Beast at the 3rd Stage of the Divine View Realm on that second day.

"Did you notice? Even after flying for two days straight, we still haven't left this forest. Not only that, but the cultivation of the demon beasts is increasing. It most likely means we are getting further and further inside the forest. Just how giant is this planet?"

Iem nodded.

"Indeed. However, this is a good thing. As long as we can find one Semi-Divinity Realm Demon Beast, we will be able to gather some information."

They kept traveling for a few more hours until suddenly, they felt waves of Godly Energy coming from far away. Considering the intensity, it was evident that a battle was going on.

Krune's group didn't waste time and immediately dashed forward. A few minutes later, they finally saw what was happening.

A group of three cultivators was fighting against an eagle-like demon beast. The eagle had a cultivation at the 5th stage of Semi-Divinity Realm while the cultivators were between the 5th and 7th stages.

It was then that they heard the voice of that demon beast.

"Damn your Heavenly Protection Sect. Do you think you can take my Demon Core that easily?"

The leader of the cultivators snorted.

"With the three of us here, you have nowhere to escape. We already marked your body, so just give up and give us your demon core. I'm planning to refine a new supporting treasure, so your Green Talon Eagle Race's wind attribute Core is just perfect for it."

The eagle got enraged after hearing that. However, it was at a disadvantage in both numbers and cultivation. The cultivators had also formed a net, which prevented it from escaping.

But it was then that both sides noticed Krune's group appearing in the distance. Their Divine Senses immediately covered those three and found out that Krune and Iem were only at the first stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm. However, they also noticed that Sisan was at the peak of the same Realm, the 9th stage.

The eagle finally saw a light of hope when it noticed that they weren't wearing the same clothes as the Heavenly Protection Sect. Obviously, it thought that Krune's group wasn't part of the enemies' organization.

"The friends over there. If you help me get rid of these three, I'm willing to contribute some of my race's Wind Essence."

Krune was surprised to hear that the eagle spoke a language that he knew. He then immediately told Iem and Sisan which language it was. At the same time, he furtively sent Sisan his languages' database through their communicators. Iem already had it from the last time in the underground city, though.

Hearing that, the three cultivators narrowed their eyes. Krune and Iem were one thing. But Sisan's 9th Stage cultivation made them somewhat wary. Of course, if they knew just how much stronger Krune and Iem were compared to their cultivation, they would have completely ignored Sisan. Too bad, they didn't. In the end, they could only issue a warning.

"I ask these three friends over there to not meddle in our Heavenly Protection Sect's affairs. Our Sect Master is Walto Darikan, a 5th Stage Divinity Realm cultivator."

Krune and Iem didn't really care about that. Now that they entered the Semi-Divinity Realm, their power increased by a lot. Ordinary 5th Stage Divinity Realm might be hard to deal with. Still, as long as they combine their powers, they can definitely fight back.

One must remember that the Space Creature that Iem and Krune fought had a combat power equivalent to a 6th Stage Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast. However, that creature had no intelligence! Obviously, that made things several times easier for them to deal with. This Sect Master called Walto might be one stage below in power. Still, he would definitely be much harder to deal with since he does have intelligence. It's exactly because Krune and Iem entered the Semi-Divinity Realm that they weren't too concerned. Otherwise, they would rather not find a problem with someone like that.

Of course, it didn't mean that they will help the eagle either.

Krune immediately stepped forward to talk for their group. After all, Sisan and Iem couldn't possibly learn a new language in just a few seconds. Not even Krune could do such a thing.

"Sorry, I don't know what is happening here. We just lost our way, so we would like to know where is the closest city."

The eagle's expression darkened as the Heavenly Protection Sect members let out a sigh of relief instead.

Still, the eagle couldn't help but ask.

"Are you really not interested in my race's Wind Essence?"

Krune smiled and shook his head. They are new to this place, so his group better not get in a fight from the get-go. Although Krune didn't like the fact that the cultivators were ganging up on the eagle, the truth is that Krune didn't know the eagle either. Who said that it was a demon beast worth saving? 

"Sorry, your offer is very tempting, but we would rather not buy a fight against these other friends' sect."

Well, the fact was that Krune had no idea what that wind essence was to start with.

The leader of the cultivators then laughed out loud before saying.

"That's the correct decision. Anyway, the nearest city is also our Sect's home. It is three days of flight to the south-east of here. As long as you follow this direction, you will eventually start to find more cultivators of lower levels. Just use their information to correct any mistake in the route."

Krune smiled and then bowed. Right after, he told Iem and Sisan what they discussed through a Divine Sense message. Of course, Harold and luvile heard that as well. Finally, they turned in the south-east direction and prepared to leave.

However, just as they were about to do so, Krune received a Divine Sense Message from Luvile.

"Are you sure you don't want that Wind Essence?"

Luvile took this long to talk because he also didn't understand those guys' language. Only when Krune explained everything did he comprehend what was going on.

Luvile's words obviously caught Krune's attention.

"Is it of any use?"

"Definitely. Wind Essence can naturally attract wind laws. It's quite a good thing, even in the God Realm. You can use it for many things like forging equipments, laws comprehension, law merging, or simply as a trade item. It might not have many uses for you now, but it would definitely be good if you want to trade with the Sky Shifting Sect Master. She definitely will accept it in exchange for the items to free your two employees of the Memory Seal."

Krune's eyes lit up at the moment. He then turned at Iem to see if he had anything against it. 

"Don't look at me. If you want to help the eagle with it, then go ahead. Besides, it's not like either of us is afraid of a 5th Stage Divinity Realm cultivator."

Krune smiled and then explained the things to Sisan as well.

"Are you sure? If that Sect Leader they talked about comes after us, things might get complicated."

Krune smiled and nodded. Obviously, Sisan didn't know just how powerful he and Iem are.

"Don't worry, we will be fine."

Sisan then shrugged his shoulders and stepped back.

"Alright, but you will need to deal with it yourself."

Iem laughed and did the same thing.

"Give us a good show."

Krune didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They didn't try to stop him, but they didn't want to help either.

'Oh well, it's not like it will be a big problem.'

Krune then turned in the direction of the eagle and asked.

"Can you guarantee the Wind Essence?"

The eagle, who was just about to put its life on the line, opened its eyes wide. How come Krune changed his mind so fast? Just a second ago, he didn't show any interest in the Wind Essence at all. Still, it didn't have much time to think about it now.

"Yes! As long as you can save me from this predicament, that is."

Krune nodded and then turned to the three cultivators.

"Alright then, you three can leave now."
