276 Elemental Path Opens (2/2)
Around one hour later, the Elemental Path was about to open. Sian looked at everyone and said.
”Alright, I have said everything I had to say. As you all know, our Elemental Path Sect has a 5 stars reputation with the Mission Hall. That means that we always keep our word. If you haven't reached the Soul Forging Realm after a hundred years, we welcome you to participate in the Elemental Path Realm opening once more.”
Suddenly, Spiritual Energy started to gather in the center of the field. Suddenly, the Elements began to spin around the center and grow in size. Krune immediately recognized that phenomenon.
'It's just how the old Rainbow Sect entrance looked like. So this is where the Elemental Path Entrance of the Elemental Sect appears. It's right inside of their Sect. Well, I guess this was obvious anyway.'
It only took around a minute for the path to be formed. Once it appeared, the exploration team immediately rushed inside without saying anything. Elder Sian didn't seem to care either. He just looked at everyone else and said.
”Well then, the elemental gate is open. I wish you all good luck in your harvest. I will see you again in this field 18 days later.”
Krune's group didn't waste time and immediately entered. The other teams also rushed inside, and everyone soon disappeared inside the Elemental Gate.
-
Once inside, Krune's group noticed that they appeared on a snowfield. Fortunately, it didn't seem to have any dangers around. As for the Elemental Sect exploration team, Krune could only see them in his Divine Sense. It was evident that they immediately departed as soon as they entered. But soon, something unexpected happened.
Krune, Tinnian, and Rarol returned to their original forms. Not only them, but all the demon beasts that were previously in their human form also transformed back. Some of them seemed surprised with it, others seemed to expect that already.
”This...”
Krune immediately understood the situation.
”It's just like the Divine Path Sect Illusory World. It forces everyone into their original form. Why didn't anyone comment about it?”
Before Krune finished transforming back, Light Spirit quickly acted and released arcs of purple lightning around Krune's body. By the time that Krune finally returned to his wisp form, the others could only see a bid ball of Purple Tribulation Lightning. That obviously made a lot of the participants curious about him.
Krune let off a sigh of relief and said.
”Thank you, Light Spirit. You saved the day.”
Light Spirit didn't seem to care too much.
”There was no other way. Remember what Cinty told you before? A wisp with different color means a Major Core Owner. She probably already dealt with the ones who saw you that day in the Wisp World 13, but she won't be able to do anything with the ones here. So we better keep the number of cultivators and demon beast that saw your true form as small as possible.”
Krune nodded and looked around.
”Hey, Jolk. What is happening with you?”
Krune just replied.
”I'm just a little bit too shy, so I don't like others to see my real form. Don't mind it, keeping this layer or lightning is as easy as breathing for me.”
Marshine and the others didn't believe about the shy thing at all. Still, it is not their place to complain about not being able to see Jolk's real form or not. But there was one thing that they and the other participants thought to be impressive. The fact that their Divine Sense couldn't feel Jolk's presence at all! That is to be expected, Light Spirit used the same trick as he used when they left the Rainbow Sect back then.
Still, this made everyone warier of Krune, After all, not being able to sense someone with their Divine Sense means a massive gap in the initiative. That technique was simply way too good for sneak attacks.
Rarol just smiled, seeing that and said.
”Alright, we have no reason to keep waiting. Let's follow the explorer team since they definitely know the right way to go.”
Everyone in their group nodded, and they immediately moved out.
