Chapter 668 - Dinner With Franlia
They had to admit Krune was right about that point.
"Besides, there is another detail you haven't considered. What if they leave the Foundation Space before we even decide to build a trap? Also, who said that they will leave through the Godly Energy Vein Sealed Space we used? They are God Core Realm experts. They can simply open a Spatial Gate and go somewhere else. Anyway, I believe the best-case scenario is to negotiate with them."
The elders and Franlia then began to discuss their views with Divine Sense Messages. It wasn't before a few minutes later that they finally reached a decision.
"Very well. We will make negotiations with them. The only problem is that we will need to wait for the next time the Chaotic Space stabilizes before sending anyone inside. We also have to discuss the issue of the other two sects as well. After all, we don't know what instances they will take."
Krune nodded and refrained from commenting. The problems about the other sects can only be resolved by the higher-ups of his own. He would not take part in it.
"Now, let's go back to the Demon Beast's corpse. You guys said that the board on the building that had the Teleport Formation had 'Heaven Break' written on it, right?"
Krune, Jimage, and all the others nodded.
"Does Sect Master know anything about it? We thought that it had something to do with someone who had been inside the Demon Beast's Corpse in the past."
Franlia pondered a bit but shook her head in the end.
"Heaven Break isn't exactly an uncommon name. If we go deep into it, we probably can find tens of thousands of powers that use this name in the entire Godly Path Realm. However, something tells me that none of them would be involved in it."
"Why is that?"
"That's because this Demon Beast's Secret is not something that any power would let pass. From what you told me, that build is probably several times older than my Sky Shifting Sect, which has only around fifty thousand years. Still, I don't know about any power of the past called Heaven Break to have ever resided this place. That is weird since that Demon Beast's Corpse is a treasure trove that could make any power soar in the heavens if used correctly. That being said, this Heaven Break is probably related to a single individual or at most a group of people/beasts."
Everyone heard the Sect Master's analysis and thought that she was probably correct.
Tosely then added her piece.
"The problem here is the fact Krune's group told us that this building with the Teleport Formations was almost crumbling apart. They even had to fork out their own resources to fix the super old Teleport Formation. Since someone knew about this place before, why hasn't he or she or the group come back?"
Jimage then explained what they thought about it.
"While we were inside, we didn't find any traces of someone being there recently. We have two theories on our side. The first is that whoever was inside before died in there, never coming out. As for the second, it might be that the person or beast or group that had been there before, already died or ascended. After all, Iem said that the teleport formation was ancient."
Iem nodded.
"I'm a Formations Master. That teleport formation was of very high quality. Considering that the space around it was protected, it definitely could exist for several chaos cycles. Still, it was on the verge of crumbling apart of old age. It wouldn't be surprising if the one who found it in the past had already ascended or died trying. Of course, there is also a chance that whoever was there before died outside because of other reasons, never telling about the Demon Beast's Corpse existence."
All three theories seemed valid. Still, it did not give them an answer.
"Alright, I will have the elders go out and search the records on this planet. Maybe there was someone or some power called Heaven Break far in the past. Let's continue."
After that, they began to talk about other things related to the share of rewards, the next group to explore the next Sealed Vein, etc.
Finally, Franlia called the end of that meeting, and everyone left to do their own jobs. Just as Krune was leaving, he received a Divine Sense message from her too.
"Meet me at my son's house this night. There are a few other things I want to ask you about. Also, bring that friend of yours called Iem."
Krune wasn't surprised by that. After all, he and Iem did a lot of ridiculous things during the expedition. Not to mention their own heaven-defying powers that could jump over an entire realm to fight. The fact that none of the elders asked anything probably was because Franlia told them to do not so.
'Seems like I will have to wait a little more before I can absorb the Heavenly Fragments. Talking about Heavenly Fragments...'
"Hey, Zule, how long will you stay there? Go back to the Spatial Ring. Knowing that you are swimming inside my Divine Soul gives me the creeps."
Zule laughed as he suddenly reappeared inside the Spatial Ring.
"Don't worry. I don't intend to do anything to you or the Heavenly Fragments. After all, I need you to fix myself. Also, don't forget that it is because of this ability of mine that your things were not stolen back in the Celestial Organizations."
Krune sighed.
"Fine. Anyway, I need to prepare for tonight, so let's go to our room first."
Krune then sent a Divine Sense message to Iem to tell about the meeting before leaving. As a disciple of the Sky Shifting Sect, Krune obviously had a room in the Sect for himself too. It's just that he spent most of his time in the restaurant.
The night quickly arrived, and Krune met with Iem in front of Tulike's house. Iem, of course, wouldn't dare to not come since he knows who called them here. After that, they touched the protection formation on the house.
"Hahaha! Krune, you are back. Iem is here too, great! Mother already told me that you were coming, so let's go inside. Father is preparing the meal as well."
As mentioned in the past, Krune had already explained what happened when he got the Sealed Space slots. That being said, Iem wasn't surprised to see the Sect Master there. Still, Tulike's father seemed a lot stronger than he thought. He couldn't see his cultivation, but something told him that he wasn't any weaker than Franlia herself.
"Oh, you two are here. Take a seat. I'm almost done with the dinner's preparation."
Rag then went back to the kitchen to continue his cooking. As for Franlia, she waited at the table with Krune, Iem, and Tulike.
"Now then, what are you exactly? You can feel things that others can't. You can jump over an entire realm to fight. Not to mention these Tribulation powers the both of you have. Why did you come to my Sky Shifting Sect?"
Krune then looked at Iem, and the two nodded at each other. After that, Krune began to transform as he returned to his Wisp Form. Well, to be more specific, Krune changed his Ethereal Body into the shape a little so that he wouldn't look exactly like a wisp. Even though there are no wisps in the Godly Path Realm, it was better to not risk it out.
"You! You are a True Spirit! I see... no wonder you are as powerful as Jimage and Sisan mentioned. The Energy Sect's Master, Reril, is a freak who reached the God Core Realm in less than a thousand years. Thanks to him, his Sect became one of the strongest ones on our planet in a flash. Not to mention that his combat power far surpasses his Realm. If you are a True Spirit as well, I can accept why you are this strong."
"Still, where did you get this Purple Lightning with Tribulation Power of yours? That is not something True Spirits are born with."
Krune then returned to his Human Form already inside his clothes. After that, he shrugged his shoulders.
"All I can tell Sect Master is that my friend here and I found a certain inheritance. Other than that, we can't tell you much. However, Sect Master has no need to worry. Both Iem and I had never been part of any other power before. The Sky Shifting Sect is the first one we ever joined in the Godly Path Realm."
Before Franlia could say anything, Tulike already jumped ahead.
"Impressive! To think that I'm a friend with a True Spirit. Hahaha! Mother, this is a stroke of incredible luck for our Sky Shifting Sect!"
"Shut up!"
Franlia narrowed her eyes as she looked at Iem.
"What about you? Krune is both a True Spirit and has his Purple Lightning with that Tribulation Powers inside. You, on the other hand, have these Black Flames that also have Tribulation Powers. But this is not the source of all your talent, is it?"
Iem laughed as he said.
"Well, I'm a Heavenly Race Member, after all."
Franlia's eyes widened even more as she thought.
'Is such a thing possible? A True Spirit and a Heavenly Race Member joining my Sect at the same time? Not only that, but they are friends too. Did I perhaps save the Entire Godly Path Realm in my previous life?'
