473 Being Too Greedy (1/2)
On Feifei's side, she didn't get into much danger so far. With her Destiny Major Divine Soul, she could at least keep herself safe. Of course, she knew that combat experience was necessary for one to get used to their powers, so she purposely let herself be caught a few times. With her Elemental Meridians and Three Heavenly Fragments, she could fight several stages above her level too.
Oh the third level, Feifei also took out the Godly Stones and used them. Thanks to that, she entered the 9th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm around three months ago. She was now accumulating energy to try a breakthrough.
She entered the fourth level two months after Krune. On the willpower test, she ended in the 81st Position. Feifei didn't mind it, though. After all, she knows very well her own playful mind. She was already happy enough to even get two Godly Stones from that level. Not to mention that it also meant that her willpower was strong than the majority.

Back on Krune's side, he stayed hidden, cultivating with only the Godly Energy of the surroundings for more than two months. Light Spirit said that he would need to enter the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm without the Godly Stones, and so he did. Now, he was inside the 4th Light Pillar Safe Zone, consuming his Godly Stones.
Of course, he once again received several threats that he should give his Godly Stones over. Not surprisingly, Krune ignored their words completely and kept cultivating. Like before, Krune was using one Godly Stone every two days, which made everyone red with jealousy. Only when he finished using the Godly Stones, he looked at the Light Pillar in front of him.
Krune took around three months to arrive at the fourth level, but he spent another three on the fourth level alone. It was easy to see that his lack of cultivation held himself back, different from higher level cultivators and demon beasts. They could use their own cultivation realms to resist the higher levels' Godly Energy.
Laka, for example, had already passed the 5th level and was inside the sixth at the moment. Krune could tell that since Laka's name was present in the top 10 rankings of the Fourth and Fifth Light Pillars.
Krune then put his Spiritual Energy in the Light Pillar and was teleported into the test room. Right after, he received the Divine Sense message with the information about this test.
-Elemental Control Test.-
-Test Level adjusted to the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm.-
-You may start.-
Krune smiled at this. If it is Elemental Control, he is pretty sure to be one of the best ones on his level. One could choose any element they wanted, but the more proficiency you showed with each one, the best your results.
Krune, of course, entered the top 10 easily. He had just too many advantages under his belt: Elemental Meridians, Chaos Meridians, Elemental Major Divine Soul, Elemental Heavenly Fragment, Elements Regulation Technique. Only a Heavenly Divine Soul could possibly compete against him.
But surprisingly, Krune was not the first placed participant. Instead, he was 4th!
1st: Hiran Falasas - 100 Points.
2nd: Wolsin - 99 Points.
3rd: Dafria Vissark - 98 Points.
4th: Lakin - 97 Points.
Of course, Krune didn't know that. He would only find out about these results once he reaches the 5th Level Pillar. Then he was quickly teleported to the next level, where he could once again start to adapt to the level's Godly Energy.
”Impressive. The Godly Energy is getting stronger and stronger. I wonder just how powerful it is in the Higher Realms.”
Light Spirit laughed after hearing that.
”I believe that those up there wouldn't even notice the presence of Godly Energy of this Level. Hahaha!”
Krune couldn't help but sign. He was really far from his ascension day. He could only imagine how things would turn out over there.
”Anyway, how long do you think I need to cultivate to get used to this Level?”
Light Spirit pondered a bit before saying.
”You gathered more Godly Energy than I expected thanks to the last Godly Energy Stones. So I guess it should be fine if you cultivate with the usual Godly Energy for two months and then use the Godly Stones Prize of the last Light Pillar.”
Krune nodded and immediately departed. Instead of finding a place to hide this time, he decided to go straight to the Light Pillar. He saw the Fourth Light Pillar ranking, but he didn't know how good his test was. It was different from the willpower test, where the rankings were separated straightforwardly. So he wanted to know how many Godly Stones he could take.
”You should be careful. I doubt you can find even a single Soul Forging Realm cultivator or demon beast in this place anymore.”
