Is That A Wisp?

"Since we can't enter the Underworld, should we go after the other Heavenly Fragments for now?"

Krune shook his head.

"I have to go talk with Wally first, remember?"

"Oh! That's right. We can do it after that, then."

"Yep. That should be fine."

Feifei still didn't know where the fragments were located, though.

"By the way, where is the first Universe with an Ownerless Fragment?"

Krune opened his communicator and took a look inside.

"The closest one would be the Isen Sect of the Caxtin Universe. From what it is saying here, this is also a Universe dominated by different powers instead of only one."

Lucio then said.

"Oh, I know that one. It's a Universe where the Tribulations are of the Water Element. It seems like it can even affect the blood in one's body during it."

Krune and Feifei didn't seem to care, though.

"Well, we are far from reaching the Peak of the Divinity Realm, let alone receiving our Ascension Tribulation. In any case, let's go there first after I settle the things here in Luvile Universe."

Feifei agreed with Krune.

After that, Lucio remembered Krune about something else.

"Don't forget that you wanted to talk with Master about the Elements Regulation Technique."

"Ah! That's right! Feifei, I'm going to talk with Grandmaster before going out to find Wally."

Feifei smiled and nodded before leaving. Not long after, Krune and Lucio went to see Lani Gobel. Soon, they arrived in a secluded garden full of flowers and trees. The only building around seemed to be a hut in the middle. Lucio then approached the house and knocked on the door.

"Master, are you there?"

Immediately, a voice came from inside.

"Enter."

Krune and Lucio entered the hut. There, they found Lani brewing some tea for his own consumption. However, as a Spiritual Chef, Krune couldn't help but analyze the pot with his Divine Sense.

"Grandmaster, this tea can become even better. Would you like to learn how to do it?"

Lani looked at Krune, surprised.

"Oh! That's right, you are a chef. Alright, go ahead and show me."

Krune smiled and began to brew the tea while explaining to Lani the tricks he learned before. Sure enough, the already fragrant tea became even more fragrant than before. Krune then served Lani and Lucio before serving a cup for himself.

"Try it out. I'm sure you will like it."

As soon as Lani drank the tea, his eyes lit up.

"This is really good! Do I need to simply follow those steps?"

Krune nodded.

"Yes. It's not like you are working on Spiritual Food anyway."

"Spiritual Food? You mean food with lots of Spiritual Energy?"

Krune shook his head and explained to Lani about the Spiritual Chef side occupation from the Godly Path Realm.

"Oh! Is there such a thing? Interesting."

Lani quickly finished his cup of tea and then looked at Krune.

"Lucio told me about your doubt. You want to know more about the Elements Regulation Technique, is that correct?"

Krune nodded.

"Yes. Well, it's nothing of significant importance, to be honest. It's just that the Elements Regulation Technique that Grandmaster uses is just too good. Even in the Godly Path Realm, I didn't find anything at this level."

Lani was surprised to hear so much about his Elements Regulation Technique.

"Is that so? Well, that makes me quite happy. The one who passed me this technique was my master as well. Unfortunately, he died a long time ago after failing his Ascension Tribulation."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"Does Grandmaster know anything about the origins of this Technique?"

Lani pondered a bit and nodded.

"I did ask my master about it before. This technique had been with the Divine Path Sect for several generations of Sect Masters. According to what he heard, this technique was found in another Universe. There had been a huge battle in a secret inheritance back then where many Divinity Realm cultivators participated. It seems like many powerhouses died during that time as well."

Lani laughed a bit after saying that.

"Hehe... The funny fact was that all those powerhouses fought for nothing. This technique, which was indeed a great treasure of that place, was not in the core regions where all those powerhouses went. Instead, the ancestor who went there found it in the outer areas. Not only that, there was no protection or anything like that. It was right in the open, ready for anyone to take. Our ancestor just lucked out in his search, that's all."

Krune and Lucio were taken aback by that.

"Didn't anyone come after our ancestor after that?"

Lani shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"Why would they? Our sect's ancestor stayed in the outer regions. After that, he came out before the powerhouses even started their battle in the core areas. He was also in the Divinity Realm at that time, so no one would really try to stop him for no reason. Not to mention that many other cultivators and demon beasts also entered and left the inheritance's sight during that time." 

"Considering the time he spent inside, anyone could tell that he didn't go to the core region. In the end, without making anyone feel suspicious, he returned to our sect. He then passed it to the next sect master. From there on, it was passed down to the sect master's disciples, one by one."

"You just so happen to be Lucio's disciple, so you also got this technique. It's simple as that."

Krune nodded. That was really a stroke of ridiculous luck.

"By the way, where was this technique found?"

Lani pondered a bit more and answered.

"Hum... I seemed to have been found in a place called Soren Ruins in the Palom Universe. However, it's better if you don't go there. It's quite a dangerous place where even the Peak Divinity Realm experts can easily die. Besides, our other sect masters had gone there before after making sure to pass the technique to their disciples. The ones who came back alive didn't find anything of interest."

However, it was at this moment that Luvile's voice appeared in their mind.

"Hehe. I think I know who Soren is."
