Is that a Wisp? Chapter 309 Underestimated

Time passed, and another two months went by. During this time, Krune’s group only stoped for rest. The number of Elemental Path Stones they used already would make the majority of cultivators and demon beasts go crazy for. Still, the use of the Stones for normal Meridians is different than Krune’s group Elemental ones, so they really needed a lot more.

Today, Krune’s group came to the teleport formation to receive Dilo and Xankruan. The two of them were supposed to have arrived a long time ago. But because they didn’t have enough Spirit Stones, they had to go out on missions together to get the ones necessary to open all 9 Spiritual Energy meridians. Fortunately, payment for a Soul Forging and Divine Soul Realm level missions are much better than in the Luvile Universe.

They could have asked Krune for help since he does have a lot of spirit stones now. But Dilo and Xankruan didn’t want it, so they decided to do everything by themselves.

When the two arrived, Krune then asked the two.

“So, how was it? Are the Elemental Meridians worth it?”

Dilo quickly nodded excitedly.

“This thing is unbelievable good! The moment I finished evolving my Spiritual Energy Meridians into the Elemental ones, I tried to cultivate. Immediately, almost 80% of all Spiritual Energy was directly converted into Elemental Source Energy. This thing is too heaven-defying! Before, I had to absorb the Spiritual Energy, and only after it got inside my foundation could I start the conversion. But now, 4/5 of the work is done even before I need to start the conversion.”

Krune smiled and then said.

“That is good to know. Since you are in the Soul Forging Realm, 80% was exactly what we thought to be the max rate. In that case, I believe that Xankruan is now able to convert around 50% since she is in the Divine Soul Realm, correct?”

Xankruan nodded enthusiastically.

“Correct! It worked as you said it would. But the much faster cultivation speed isn’t all! Our control over the elements also soared! I’ve never felt the Elements to be this easy to control before. Not to mention the effect that this Technique has on our Soul Power. Both Dilo and my Divine Senses increased quite a lot!”

Feifei and the others also liked to hear all of that.

“So now we really know that we will have a conversion rate around 80% when we reach the Soul Forging Realm. With Dilo here, we will also quickly find out if the limit of 80% can be surpassed or not! If he goes over 80%, then the increase that we got so far can probably be carried over as well.”

Krune nodded and then said.

“Alright, first, you two will need to get a free collection pass in the Elemental Sect Branch.”

Krune told Dilo and Xankruan to teleport to another city that his group is staying now after they are finished. Around one hour later, Dilo and Xankruan appeared at the teleport formation in that previously mentioned city.

Dilo then looked at Feifei and decided to ask something else that was bothering him.

“I have noticed it before but, what exactly is this Parrot Puppet?”

Krune and the others immediately laughed after hearing that.

“This is Krune’s Divine Soul. Well, to be more precise, Krune’s Divine Soul is connected to it. His name is Heavin.”

Dilo and Xankruan were puzzled, just like Ruik and Tiane were in the past. Krune then explained to those two about the situation of his Divine Soul.

“A Divine Soul with sentience! That is really something new. I’ve never heard about it before, at least. But how come he isn’t saying anything until now? Didn’t you say that he is a lively kid?”

Krune shrugged his shoulders and said.

“He is working on changing a technique so that he can use it even though he is a Divine Soul. Oh, right! Let me pass it to you as well. This is the Technique he is trying to modify, but you two can use the original version.”

Krune then handed over the Mind Splitting Technique so that Dilo and Xankruan could practice it.

“This! The Mind Splitting Technique! We can’t accept this thing, it is too expensive! Even if I gather all the money I’ve earned until today, I still wouldn’t be able to pay for it!”

Krune shrugged his shoulder and said.

“It doesn’t matter. Just do like Feifei and the others are doing. 10% of the Elemental Path Stones that you find you give to me. In the end, it should definitely surpass the price of this Technique since Elemental Path Stones are quite expensive.”

Xankruan and Dilo looked at each other and nodded.

“Alright. If we really can find this amount of Elemental Path Stones are you are saying, then it should really be more than enough to pay for this Technique.”

Xankruan then remembered something else.

“I think you are forgetting the main point here. Krune’s Divine Soul is changing a technique by itself! Isn’t it too dangerous? This Technique is directly related to the soul, after all!”

Krune nodded.

“I also thought the same at first. But it seems like Heavin knows very well what he is doing. He did make a few mistakes while trying it out, but he always kept a safe approach when doing it. So far, he didn’t get any big problems.”

Krune then decided to change the topic.

“Anyway, before you two go out to look for Elemental Path Stones, you should first achieve the Initial Stage of the Mind Splitting Technique. If you do that, you will be able to cultivate even while you are looking for the Elemental Path Stones. The first level isn’t that hard either, and considering your cultivations, I believe that one to two weeks should suffice.”

Dilo and Xankruan nodded, and Krune showed where the hotel that they are staying at this time is. Krune also mentioned that they wouldn’t be staying in this city’s surroundings for too long and would be moving away later to avoid suspicion. Just as Krune and his group were about to leave, Heavin opened his eyes excitedly!

“I DID IT!”

Krune and the others immediately looked at the thrilled Parrot Puppet.

“Did what? Was the modification in the Mind Sppliting Technique successful?”

Heavin immediately nodded.

“Yes! It took a long time, but I finally finished changing it! I can finally practice it even though I’m a Divine Soul.”

Krune smiled and asked.

“Are you sure? Before you can achieve the initial stage and split your mind in three, it can’t really be considered a success.”

Heavin showed an angry expression and said.

“If I said I did, then I did it! I already practiced it to the initial stage too! I can split my mind in two now!”

Krune and the others got puzzled.

“In two?”

Heavin nodded.

“The problem was that I’m a Divine Soul, not a real one. So I had to reduce the number of parts that my mind can split in each level. My initial stage can now split in two, intermediate in three, advanced in four, and culmination in six. It is not as good as the real one, but it is okay since this is a technique that shouldn’t work for Divine Souls to start with!”

This time, Krune and the others were really shocked! Did Krune’s Divine Soul really succeed in modifying a technique as complex as the Mind Sppliting one?

Heavin noticed that everyone seemed to be doubting him and started to flap his wings in dissatisfaction.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I did it! I really did it!”

Krune then asked with a serious expression.

“Then what about you try to cultivate while doing something else. Let’s say, try to keep flying while I check if you are really cultivating or not. Before, if you started to cultivate, you couldn’t do anything else and had to stay still, after all.”

Heavin immediately got excited!

“You said it! You can’t lie to them when I show you that I really can do it!

Krune smiled and then nodded.

“But of course! After all, if you can really do it, I will be able to leave my cultivation for you to take care while I can use that part of my mind to do other things.”

Heavin nodded and then immediately took flight. At the same time, Krune paid attention to his Divine Soul to see if he was really cultivating as he said he would do.

Surprisingly, Heavin wasn’t lying. Krune could feel that Heavin’s cultivation speed was as good as that time when he cultivated for a few minutes. He then looked above and could see that Heavin was also flying around like he wasn’t busy with anything else.

“Impressive. To think that Heavin was really successful in modifying the Technique. It’s been only a little less than 3 months since he left the Elemental Core. If I count the time that he first gained sentience, then Heavin could be said to be born for half a year only!”

Feifei and the others also felt that to be unbelievable. Krune kept looking at Kevin flying and then added.

“Before, I said that he has an IQ as high as the wisps, but it seems like I underestimated him. His intelligence might be even higher than that!”

Ruik heard that and said.

“That’s is not good! If your Divine Soul is as intelligent as you, that will be the receipt for an apocalypse!”

Krune almost fainted right there and then!

‘Perhaps, the Universe doesn’t need this many Two-Headed Snakes.’
