458 Different Paths (2/2)

Feifei also gave Cinty a hug before they separated. Now, only the family of three remained behind. Of course, Heavin and Light Spirit were also there, but they simply had no other choice since they can't be separated from Krune at the moment.

Still, Feifei could see the worry in Krune's expression. She sighed and embraced him while saying.

”There is no helping it. Being together won't allow anyone to grow up. There might be some mishaps, some of us might die, including us. But we all knew what we signed up for. We can only wish that they will return stronger. Of course, we need to get stronger ourselves.”

Krune smiled and gave her a kiss.

”You are right. We should worry about ourselves.”

”Cough, cough. If the two lovey-dovey are done with the melancholic exhibition, shall we move forward?”

Feifei and Krune looked at Heavin's Parrot Puppet flying and laughed out loud.

”Sure, let's move as well. I want to reach the next level as soon as possible.”

Feifei, Krune, and Heavin immediately dashed forward. All they had to do was follow the flow of Godly Energy, and they would sooner or later arrive at the next level.

Two days later, Krune's group spotted an enormous pillar of light. It went so high that they couldn't see the end of it. Divine Sense didn't help either since this Holy Land also restricted how far the Divine Sense could go. At the moment, Krune's Divine Sense couldn't move more than 10km. Of course, Krune, Feifei, and Heavin still had Mental Energy. But even that seemed to be affected by the Godly Energy. Heavin, the one with the strongest Mental Energy, could only see things up to 30km.

”So annoying. It is evident that this Realm didn't expect the use of Mental Energy. However, this Godly Energy still prevents it from going too far.”

Krune looked at him and shook his head.

”What are you complaining about? Mine and Feifei's Mental Energy can't even reach 20km. If we use Divine Sense, 10km is our limit. You are already doing a lot better than most of cultivators and demon beasts. I doubt that there is a single one in the Soul Forging Realm that can beat you.”

Heavin could only nod in the end. It is not like things would change just because he doesn't like it.

”By the way, is this the entrance to the next level?”

As Krune, Feifei, and Heavin got close, they noticed that many cultivators and demon beasts were waiting around it. Surprisingly, the majority of them were injured and recovering their energies. Also, they all had several different levels of cultivation.

Suddenly, the Light Pillar shined on the base. A cultivator was then spilled out, immediately crashing on the ground with immense force. The poor guy vomited some blood before slowly getting up and moving away. The way he reacted, it seemed like it wasn't the first time it occurred.

Krune looked around and saw a small group that seemed to have cultivation similar to his group.

”I'm sorry for interrupting your recovering time, friends. Would you mind telling me what is happening here?”

The leader of this group didn't mind explaining. He was also injured and needed to recover from it, so he wouldn't move from this place anytime soon.

”That pillar there has a test inside. As you can imagine, it is quite dangerous too. Once you enter, you will have to battle ten levels of enemies. They are all adjusted according to your cultivation level too. If you fail, you will end up like us. However, you can recover and try again if you wish.”

Krune and Feifei nodded.

”Thank you.”

They exchanged a few more words and then left the guy alone. But it was then that he remembered something else.

”Ah!”

However, Krune and Feifei were already gone.

”Oh well, it's not like they could do anything about that anyway.”

He put those thoughts behind his mind and focused on his recover once more.

At Krune's side, he and Feifei stopped in front of the Light Pillar.

”Now then, how should we do this.”

Somewhere else, Alacanta was curious about something else. In the end, she decided to ask Laka.

”By the way, why didn't you tell them?”

”Tell what?”

Laka stopped for a moment and looked at her, puzzled.

”Isn't that obvious? Why didn't you tell them that every level has several different Dimensional Realms and that everyone is sent into them at random?”

Laka's heart skipped a bit.

”Say what?!”

Looking at Laka's face, Alacanta immediately understood. This idiot completely forgot about the explanation given by the elders of their faction before. Or to be more specific, he had never paid much attention to start with.

”Oh well, it will be a good test for them anyway. You can't have everything going as you planned in the cultivation world, after all.”

Laka began to feel nervous, but it was too late. Alacanta didn't know about Liriu and Fie, that's why she wasn't concerned.

”Well... fuck!”
