Chapter 73 - The Ten Major Cores (1/2)
Krune's team members were the first to leave, they would need a few minutes to get read on the other sides, after all, the teleport formation couldn't send too much at once, Krune had discussed with them and they agreed that everything should be ready in at most fifteen minutes, after the time was gone, Krune sent the first batch of wisps over.
”There they go, we are sending one batch every two minutes, it should take at most one hour for all of us to leave, that Infernal Beetle will definitely need much more than one hour to gather enough cultivators or demon beasts to come over, so no need to hurry.”
One by one, batch by batch, the wisps were being teleported over since Krune didn't receive anything back from the teleport formation, It means that everything was going as planned, around one hour later, the last batch of wisps was gone, Lakin took special attention to this one since Cassy and Dier were on them.
”Master, it's our time then.”
Krune nodded, he stepped on the teleport formation with Lakin, Ruik and the demon beasts, the Lizard Dragons were in this last batch too, before activating the teleport formation, Krune summoned a fireball, he then made its internal spiritual energy to run chaotic, it would definitely explode in the next few seconds, he then left right above the formation and activated it, in a flash of silver light, Krune, and the others were gone, right after that, the fireball exploded and the Short Distance Teleport Formation was gone.
Around four hours later, Gory had gathered enough forces to trash Krune's group, he arrived back at the Spiritual Vein Lake Cave and asked the demon beasts that he left around about what happened during the time he was out.
”Our group had kept a look at the mountain range, no one left it in the last few hours, that's for sure.”
Gory found it weird, how could they not try to escape? He had left some scouts behind exactly, for this reason, there would be no way for them to get far away with that many wisps unless they escaped alone and left the wisps behind, but after defending those wisps with so much intensity, it would be strange if they simply decided to give up on them, at least, they should have let those wisps scatter in all directions so that they would have some chance at living.
Gory didn't waste time, he had gathered another two Core Formation Realm Demon beasts, so he was sure about his victory this time, they immediately charged in the cave direction, but when their Divine Senses finally got close enough to see what was happening inside, their faces darkened.
”How come there is no one?”
Gory didn't believe it and charged inside, after arriving at the spiritual vein lake, he finally understood what happened, he couldn't help but kick a nearby boulder which immediately crumbled.
”Those guys had a teleport formation prepared!”
The other two demon beasts looked at Gory coldly.
”What? Can't you see the remnants of the teleport formation? If you were in my place, would you have considered that they would have a Four Stars Formations Master in their group capable of building teleport formations?”
The Core Formation Realm beasts ignored him and left, now that that group used a teleport formation, there is no way they can find where they have gone, they can only go back and order their subordinates to look around to see if they had teleported somewhere close, but they also know that it is very hard to be the case.
Gory was also feeling gloomy, he could spread the information, but it would ultimately bring him no results and raise a lot of problems, so he only sighed and left as well.

Back at the Raskie Danger Zone, Krune's group had arrived at the entrance of the Rainbow Sect, they had to move slowly to keep the concealment, thanks to Shinja flying around and scaring the demon beasts with her aura, Krune, and the others didn't get in any trouble on their way here, it was not like Krune built this Short Distance Teleport formation too far away from the elemental gate anyway.
Krune used his authority as Legacy Disciple to open the gate, after that everyone got in, Hasik, who was taking care of everything as always, was surprised when he saw the number of wisps passing through the gate, shortly after, a few demon beasts together with Krune and the others entered as well, Hasik then waited for Krune to come to see him and explain what was happening.
After arriving at the inner city, Krune left the wisps for Lakin to take care and went to the Order Hall, arriving there, he could see that Hasik was already waiting for him.
”Well, that's a lot of wisps, but I should advise you, using wisps for cultivation have many side effects and will make your foundation poorer, so you should think twice before using them for cultivation.”
Krune's mood got gloomy straight away, in the end, it's not easy to change the people's opinion about wisps, he then explained that his group would never use a wisp for cultivation, they brought them here to protect their lives.
”Hum? What will you get from saving a few wisps lives? They have a very limited life span, so there isn't much they will be able to do for you, you know?”
Krune thought that better than explaining, the best would be to show him straight away, Krune then reverted back to his wisp form, which was bigger than the wisps outside, Hasik saw that and was alarmed.
”Yo-You! You are a wisp too!”
Krune then went back to his human form again.
”Exactly, so you don't need to be afraid that I or anyone here will use the wisps as cultivation resources, I will slaughter anyone who dares to try so.”
Hasik was taken aback, he hadn't expected that at all, the best disciple that his Sect had found in a few millennia turned out to be a wisp, doesn't that mean that Krune doesn't have much to live to start with?
Hasik looked at Krune and let out a sigh, his hope for the Sect got crushed just like that, but then he remembered that Shinja, Ao and Yusa were all normal humans, although they aren't as talented as Krune, they are still top geniuses, his mood improved a bit after thinking like that.
How Krune could not understand what Hasik was thinking, but he didn't care, after becoming a Legacy Disciple, Krune had read all the Sect's rule, the sect doesn't stop any race from joining, as long as one has passed the tests and became an ordinary disciple, the sect won't do anything to harm that disciple, let alone a legacy disciple like him, that's also why he didn't mind showing his true form.
”Alright, you shouldn't feel that sad anyway, I still have around 14 years of life ahead of me, my cultivation speed is more than fast enough to reach the Core Formation Realm, and don't forget, I'm a 'Rainbow Core' cultivator, remember?”
The words 'Rainbow Core' didn't ring any bell in Hasik's mind.
”I know you have a rainbow core, you told me about that before, is there something special about it”?
It was as Krune expected, Hasik really didn't know about the rarity of the Rainbow Core, otherwise, he would have said something that day when Krune told him about that, but he didn't enter in details last time, he only commented about the Tribulation Lightning but left the properties of the Rainbow Core basicaly out, it was then that he thought about another possibility.
'Maybe the name that they give to my Core Inst 'Rainbow Core' like the Mercenary Guild Head put.'
Krune then explained what his 'Rainbow Core' is, only after hearing the details did Hasik's face finally change, he seemed to be in a rage.
”To hell with Rainbow Core! That's obviously an Elemental Core, who the heck came up with this name?”
Hasik felt like he was blind.
