345 Krunes Choice (1/2)

Once Mohie Zarks was gone, Joiu decided to ask.

”So, what was all that about?”

Krune and Feifei didn't know how to really explain.

”How can I say it... From the looks of it, my group was purposely guided to find this place.”

Joiu then asked.

”But that Tribulation Jade thing. He did not tell us what it really was.”

Feifei nodded.

”Indeed. But it is not here as well, so it matters little anyway. First of all, Zarks said that he probably used that already, so we won't find it here or anywhere else.”

Joiu had to admit that she was right.

Krune then paid attention to the front and said.

”Alright, any other questions can come later. Let's focus on the task at hand.”

The three then entered the castle.

But just as they were about to move, they heard Mohie Zarks Voice resonating in their minds.

”Any treasures, artifacts, or whatever that can surpass the power of a 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm have now been blocked. I'm looking forward to seeing what all the participants can do.”

It wasn't only Krune's group who heard that, but all the teams. It means that Feifei and Krune's protective tokens like Krune's Grandmaster's one will not work here. Of course, that meant that the same thing was valid for all the participants in this Castle Realm at the moment.

Joiu then explained.

”That's normal, most of the high-level Inheritances that you enter in the No Law Zones have similar setups.”

Krune and Feifei nodded, and they started to move forward. But just a few seconds later, they felt the ground tremble a bit.

”It seems like there is already a battle going on.”

”Forget them, keep your Divine Senses spread, and let's move forward.”

Krune then spread his Tribulation Lightning Layer, and the group entered one room after another. Just as Zarks mentioned, there were a lot of resources available in this place.

Each room had at least a good amount of Spirit Stones. As far as they can tell, Zarks had spread everything evenly around the enormous castle. Another thing was that the closer to the center they got, the higher the amounts.

”Hey, there are Soul Techniques here.”

Krune immediately started to look into all the Jade Slips together with Joiu and Feifei.

”Alright, let's bring the Jade Slips out of the Dimensional Realm first. We can take our time to both sides memorize the contents. That way, we won't need to share.”

Joiu and Feifei nodded, and they stuffed everything inside their Spatial Rings.

Krune's group then left the room and started to move again. But suddenly, Krune stopped.

”Wait!”

”They are two floors below us, but they can't feel our presence with Divine Sense. Let's keep moving and avoid battle as much as possible.”

Of course, everything wasn't perfect. Just as Krune and his group started to move again, that group two floors below attacked the ceiling above them and immediately reached the same level as Krune and the others. It turns out that they weren't using only Divine Sense to check the surroundings. Unfortunately, Krune didn't know what they did to find them.

Krune's group immediately recognized the other side. It was Lutin Hravent's group, one of the Jade Slip owners. He was also able to protect his Jade Slip until the very end and enter the Castle Realm.

”This Purple Colored Lightning... From what I heard from the guys in the previous Realm, it seems like you are Darten, right? The multi-colored wisp.”

Krune wasn't surprised that they knew. Quite a few of the Cultivators and Demon Beasts that reached the Realm Prior had been with him when they fought that Azure Dragon in the Third Realm. Since they stayed several days there doing nothing, it wasn't hard to think that his information had been spread.

”And you are Lutin Hravent, right? You are still in the 1st Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, so it is impressive that you also protected your Jade Slip until now.”

Lutin then laughed.

”Not as much as you, who is still in the 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm.”

Krune decided to stop the pleasantries.

”So, what you plan to do? Are you going to start a fight here? We are just at the start of this Realm, are you sure it is worth the risk?”

Lutin shook his head.

”Don't worry, we just wanted to see who you were. It seems like you have some technique or treasure that keeps you concealed from the other's Divine Sense. If not for the fact that my friend has a technique that enhances his perception of vibrations, we wouldn't notice your presence at all.”

Lutin then extended his hand.

”So, what about this? You give me this treasure of yours or pass me this technique that conceals against Divine Sense, and we can leave each other alone for the time being.”

Krune sighed and then retracted his Tribulation Lightning Layer.
