Is that a Wisp? Chapter 663: Striking a Deal

However, right at this moment, Luvile’s voice resounded in his mind.

“Hehe! They sure know how to hide their intentions. Just now, they put a deadly mark inside all your bodies. They even went to the extent where they worked together with their higher cultivations to not let you, Iem, or Sisan notice anything.”

Sure enough, Harold told Iem the same thing. However, both Krune and Iem pretended that they didn’t feel anything to not alert them.

“Can it be eliminated?”

Luvile confirmed.

“It can, but they immediately notice once I use my Purple Tribulation Lightning to strike it. If they activate it during that time, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to protect you. The difference in cultivation is just too big.”

Krune nodded.

“Alright, leave it. Let’s follow the flow for a while.”

Krune also talked with Iem through Mental Energy so that they would be in synch.

Finally, Krune and Dolmen’s group asked the obvious question.

“What kind of message?”

Suelen nodded and continued.

“We are willing to offer the Cores of the Celestial Protection Formation to them.”

“The cores? Why would they want that?”

Iem asked. He wasn’t wrong. The Sky Shifting Sect could get formation cores by themselves if they needed it. 

“That’s not your standard type of Formation Core. The ones that control the Celestial Protection Formation are made of some strange material that continuously generates Godly Energy. Why do you think we can keep most of the Godly Energy inside the Celestial Organizations? Don’t you think it would be way too annoying to make the Godly Energy of a Planet of this size to converge in four points?”

Iem thought for a bit and had to admit that she was right. He is a formations master, so he knows the implications of those words.

“Are you telling me that all the Godly Energy you have here is coming from the Formation Core itself? That doesn’t make sense. We are inside the Foundation Space of a Demon Beast’s Core. The Godly Energy in this place was supposed to be coming from everywhere around the planet.”

Suelen nodded her head.

“It is. All the space outside is full of Godly Energy. In fact, an enormous part of the Godly Energy used by the Celestial Protection Formation comes from absorbing the Godly Energy in the chaotic space outside. However, that Godly Energy doesn’t go through the Celestial Protection Formation. Anyway, what you need to know is that this Formation Core is responsible for all the Godly Energy in the four Celestial Organizations.”

Krune and the others understood what she meant. They already told them what a Top Quality Godly Energy Vein is, and this place just so happens to have Godly Energy on par with that. However, these Formation Cores can be moved! In the Top Quality Godly Energy Vein’s case, it has to stay still. Otherwise, the three sects would have taken those veins and brought back to their own Sects a long time ago.

‘Four Formations Cores that can generate as much Godly Energy as a Top Quality Godly Energy Vein… I guess only Little Arty, who can connect directly to the God Realm, would be able to match these cores efficiency and still can be moved around.’

Everyone understood just how extraordinary such cores would be for any of their sects. They would definitely stand above the Top Quality Godly Energy Veins’ in importance just because they can be moved.

“Alright, this is indeed enticing enough for our sects to accept almost any condition. In that case, what is it that you want in excha-“

“Wait!”

Suddenly, Krune stopped everyone’s talking. Obviously, they all looked at him at the same time.

“From what you are saying, these Four Cores can be brought outside, right?”

The four leaders of the Celestial Organizations looked at each other before nodding. 

“Well, theoretically speaking, that should be possible.”

Krune’s eyes lit up as he asked.

“Would you mind showing me one of those Cores?”

Everyone got even more puzzled, including Iem and Sisan.

Jamot, the leader of the Celestial Sky Organization, then said.

“As you can imagine, the cores as inside several protection formations and are guarded 24/7. The importance they have for us is far too great. Unless you give me a good reason, I can’t simply bring you there.”

It was then that Krune used a Divine Sense Message to tell Jamot what he was thinking.

They kept looking at each other for sometime. However, everyone knew that they were talking through Divine Sense.

Finally, Jamot let a scream out.

“What?! Are you sure?”

Krune shook his head.

“I’m not. After all, it is just a theory. However, I believe it is worth at least letting me see it, right?”

Everyone noticed how stirred Jamot became, and they got curious.

“Jamot, what is that?”

Jamot then sent the other three leaders and Eason, a member of his Organization, a Divine Sense message. Obviously, they were taken aback by what they heard. They talked for a while more through Divine Sense until they finally seemed to reach a decision.

“Anyway, I’m bringing him there to confirm it. If something happens, do as we agreed.”

Varkin, Suelen, and Gamadol nodded at him.

Jamot then used his Spiritual Energy to grab Krune and disappeared in a flash. The members of the Celestial Sky Sect could at least tell that he flew in the Formations’ Core direction. Still, they did not pursue since that was the Organization’s leader.

As the Celestial Sky Organization leader, Jamot didn’t have many problems to approach the Formation’s Core. Krune, of course, was brought with him as well. Finally, after a set of procedures that they had to take, they arrived beside it.

The Godly Energy outside was already surprisingly thick. But now that he is standing beside the Core, Krune is even feeling somewhat affected by the sheer amount of it.

Suddenly, Luvile’s voice entered Krune’s head.

“He wasn’t lying. This Formation’s Core is indeed generating Godly Energy constantly. But I know why that is. It is because this Core is made with parts of the Silver Demon Core as the base. The only thing that makes me curious is how exactly Godly Energy can be created by it.”

“What you mean?”

Luvile then continued.

“I always thought that the Godly Energy we felt outside was a result of the remaining Godly Energy in the Silver Core itself. Due to how big the Foundation Space inside was, its Godly Energy hadn’t run out yet. However, now I can see that Godly Energy is being created instead. As far as I remember, no race in the God Realm has cores that can create Godly Energy. Since that’s the case, here’s the question. Just what was this Demon Beast?”

Krune pondered a bit before saying.

“You perished just way too long ago. There were definitely tens of thousands of new races that appeared after that. Chances are that this is simply a new race that didn’t exist while you were alive in the God Realm.”

Luvile had to admit that Krune was right.

“Well, that’s true. It has been tens of thousands of Chaos Cycles, after all. Anyway, we can search for it if we ascend to God Realm someday.”

Although they spoke all of that, just a split of a second passed in the real world.

Jamot then looked at Krune.

“Well? How is it?”

Krune nodded and put his hand on the Formation’s Core. In fact, he didn’t need to do that anymore since Luvile already confirmed his suspicion. Still, it was better to play the role.

“As expected, this Formation’s Core is indeed made of the same material as the Silver Demon Core outside. That is most likely the reason why it can generate Godly Energy. However, it is not considered as part of the Foundation anymore. Which is good since we can really bring it outside. Nevertheless, the connection between the two is still present. This is great! The plan might really work.”

Jamot nodded and let Krune do as he pleased. With their difference in cultivation, he wasn’t afraid of Krune trying anything against him or the Core.

Krune then summoned his Godly Energy Meridians and connected them to Jamot and the Formation’s Core. After that, he spread his Mental Energy as if looking for something.

‘Found you!’

Obviously, what could it be if not the ‘link’ that he had always been able to see on everyone’s souls on this planet?

Krune then looked at Jamot.

“I’ll start now.”

Jamot couldn’t see what Krune was making. After all, Krune was using Mental Energy, which only another cultivator of Heavin’s Soul Cultivation Technique could do.

Krune knew that everyone born in this Foundation was linked to the Foundation itself. Not only that, but his Mental Energy could even see it. Since he could see, can’t temper with it as well?

That was a crazy idea that Krune had before. However, Krune was afraid of trying to do anything to these links. After all, if it is cut out, the one linked to it might die straight away. In this situation where Krune is captured, if he killed someone, things would become even direr. Not to mention that he isn’t sure if he can really cut it or not. 

The idea popped in his mind once the Celestial Organizations Leaders said that the Formation’s Cores were made of some strange material. Not to mention that they said it could generate Godly Energy. At that moment, Krune knew that this Core was most likely made of the same material as the Silver Core outside. He asked to see it so that he could confirm his theory.

Fortunately, Luvile confirmed to him straight away that he was right. The best part is that this ‘Demon Core Piece’ can be dragged around. Since it can be separated from the Silver Core, but it is still part of it, can he connect those ‘Links’ to the Formation’s Core instead? If that worked, he might be able to bring the Core and the person or beast connected to it outside!

That was the main reason why using spatial equipments that could hold life would be meaningless. Otherwise, Krune and Dolmen’s groups could simply put everyone inside and go out. But because of the link, it wouldn’t let it escape this Foundation Space.

Of course, he had to first try it out. Also, the only person who could get close to this Formation’s Core was obviously the leader of the Celestial Sky Organization. That being said, Krune offered a deal to Jamot through a Divine Sense message.

Back then, when Krune was talking with Jamot through Divine Sense…

“I believe I can change the link you have with the Foundation Space to the Formation’s Core instead. In that case, the one connected to it can most likely step outside together with the Core.”

Jamot was obviously excited to hear that. However, he wasn’t an idiot.

“If you do that, nothing can stop me from killing you once we step outside to prevent the news of the Formation Core from spreading. I believe you know that too. In that case, what do you want?”
