189 Cilia (2/2)

Sure enough, Krune entered the 4th stage without any issues. He then took a deep breath and started to stabilize his cultivation. After he finished, Krune looked around but couldn't see his Master or Grandmaster anywhere. He was puzzled but decided to ignore it for now. He still has another two or three days before leaving, so it is better to use this time to further stabilize his cultivation in the pool.

As expected, Krune received a message in his communicator two days later. It said that all those who are part of the program should gather at the Spaceship Port the next day morning. Krune saw that message and decided to leave the pool for now. He looked around but still couldn't see any of the two guys anywhere.

”Well, I guess I will just leave and send a message to Master later.”

But soon, Krune noticed a problem.

”Errr... where is the exit?”

The one who had brought Krune inside this place was Lucio and Lani. Not to mention that they came inside through teleportation. Krune walked around but could not find anything like a teleport formation or an exit door.

”Let me call Master.”

Krune still hasn't got his Grandmaster's number, so he could only rely on his Master at the moment. Unfortunately, Lucio wasn't answering at all.

”That old geezer, as unreliable as ever!”

But then Krune got puzzled.

”Just how am I going to leave this place?”

Krune was in doubt. Logic said that he should just stay put and wait for his Master or Grandmaster to be back. But he only has until tomorrow to appear at the Spaceship Port, so what if none of those two appear until there?

”I will wait here for a few hours. If none of them appear until there, I will leave and look for an exit.”

Seconds turned into minutes, minutes, into hours, but still, there was no sign of anyone. Krune had tried to call his Master several times, but Lucio was never available. Calling anyone else would be of no use since this is one of the Sect's Ancestor's place. They definitely wouldn't be able to get information about it. Krune was starting to get nervous since he was supposed to go to the Spaceship Port already.

”Forget it, I will leave a message here and start looking for an exit.”

After leaving a few words behind, Krune spread his Divine Sense to its max range, but couldn't see anything else other than the Spiritual Pool and the fishes inside.

”This pocket dimension is also enormous, and it might be even bigger than Master's.”

Since he couldn't find anything, Krune randomly chose a direction and dashed forward. Using Tribulation Lightning for movement had already become a habit, so Krune, in his human form, used it straight away.

Still, another issue appeared. Even after moving in several directions for an entire hour, Krune still couldn't find an exit. In fact, he couldn't find anything at all!

”Why do they have to make things this big? Does Grandmaster really need all this apace?”

Finally, around two hours later, Krune eyes lit up! He could see a building entering his Divine Sense.

”It was about time already.”

Krune isn't afraid of his Grandmaster not finding him. As the owner of a pocket dimension himself, he knows very well that it is possible to feel the presence of every single being inside it. That meant that his Grandmaster would be able to find him anytime he wanted once he is back.

After flying a little, Krune finally could see the place with his own eyes. That building was more like a tower instead. Krune tried to check inside with his Divine Sense, but that tower obviously had some formations that prevented it.

”Hum... Should I enter it? I don't want to be like a certain Sect Master who enters the others' houses without permission.”

Suddenly, Light Spirit talked with Krune.

”That place, there is something familiar inside.”

Krune was taken aback!

”Familiar? But haven't you been imprisoned for ages? How come there is something from your time here?”

Light Spirit answered.

”I don't know. I just feel a familiar type of energy, but I can't remember what it is.”

Krune pondered a bit if he should enter or not. After all, it was evident that this place wasn't simple. Suddenly, Krune and Light Spirit heard a voice coming from the tower.

”This presence... Luvile, you rascal, is that you?”

Light Spirit then felt like the most terrifying thing of the universe appeared right in front of him!

”Pretend that you don't know anything. Doesn't matter what, you don't know me, understood?”

Light Spirit then hid his presence as much as possible and let Krune do the talk.

Krune, of course, was as puzzled as ever. Still, he decided to do as Light Spirit did.

”Errr... Sorry. My name is Krune, not Luvile.”

The being inside felt puzzled for a second, but suddenly, it snorted.

”Oh, I see. That's my bad. In that case, there is no problem in me talking about a certain Lightning Kid and his 'interesting' experiences from a long time ago.”

Light Spirit, who was pretending to not be there, immediately jolted up like a cat who had its tail stepped on! Suddenly, Light Spirit's voice projected outside.
