484 Frunkan Clan (1/2)
As the rank appeared, Krune was able to find the names he could recognize. Surprisingly, he even saw Liriu's name, which Liriu didn't change to start with. However, Fie's name was still not present. Krune began to think that perhaps, Fie hid in the second level and didn't leave anymore.
As for his own position, he was able to verify straight away. In the end, Krune took 5 minutes and 23 seconds to make his way to the light pillar, which gave him the 8th position.
”Good, those are another 10 Godly Stones.”
Heavin nodded on his side.
”Even better. Since you weren't sent to the next level right away, you can take the Godly Stones right now.”
Krune's eyes lit up, and he immediately selected his reward.
”Wait! I would need to wait 3 days for my position to be consolidated, no?”
”Ah!”
Only now did Heavin remember that such a rule did exist indeed.
Krune tried to take the reward nonetheless. However, he just received a notice that he couldn't take it away at the moment. Sighing, Krune looked around and could see that the other participants were making their way to the Light Pillar. Although some died, it looked like quite a few would make it through.
Krune, of course, wouldn't wait for them to arrive. Especially since there was even a Divine path Realm in the middle of those guys going through the test. After sending his Spiritual Energy into the Light Pillar, Krune was teleported to the 7th level straight away.
---
As Krune entered the 7th level, those with high talent and cultivation finally started to appear in the 10th level. At this same place, there was a concealment formation that has just been recently built. Inside, a small group of Divine Path Realm cultivators and demon beasts awaited.
Time passed, and a few days went by when suddenly, a new cultivator entered the Concealment Formation. The others inside looked at the newcomer and immediately greeted him.
”Welcome, Senior Brother.”
They were all part of the Frunkan Clan, a Clan that exists in another Universe called Zaral. This Universe had ties with one of the Universes controlling Dalin, and they used this connection to send all these members inside.
In total, there were five members present: two demon beasts and three cultivators. The Strongest one was their Senior Brother, Hanan Frunkan. He was in the 7th Stage of the Divine Path Realm cultivator and a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner on top of that.
The other two cultivators were also at the Divine Path Realm. One of them was Tannin Frunkan, a 9th Stage Divine Path Realm. The third one was Julie Frunkan, also a 9th Stage Divine Path Realm female cultivator.
The Last one was also a Demon Beast that only existed in the Dalin Universe in the past, a Flegen. This Demon Beast looked like a mix of buffalo and rhinoceros, known by its strong defense and high aptitude for Earth Element and Laws. His name was Morjin, and he was in the 8th Stage of the Divine Path Realm.
Hanan looked at Julie before asking.
”Start it.”
Julie took a deep breath before taking out a piece of equipment that looked like an Orb. She sat down on the floor and used her Spiritual Energy to activate it. At first, the Orb looked transparent, but a white fog started to form after a few minutes. Finally, the white fog took the form of an old man's face. That old man looked at every around before nodding.
”It seems like the prophecy was correct. As you can see, the Seal that locks down the Holy Land was lifted. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to talk with all of you. Even until now, we don't know what caused the Seal to be lifted, but it matters little at the moment.”
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up after hearing that.
”Our time has finally come. This imprisonment that has lasted thousands of Chaos Cycles is finally about to be over. However, for that, we will need the Core Artifact of the Holy Land. Only with that will we be able to drive away all the resistance.”
The old man looked at the five juniors before saying.
”Such a chance won't appear again. It doesn't matter what happens, you must reach the Origin Dimensional Realm and retrieve the Artifact. This is our only chance!”
Everyone had resolute expressions on their faces.
”Don't worry, Clan Head, we will not fail. Even if it cost our lives, we will retrieve the Artifact.”
The man inside the Orb nodded, satisfied.
”The only way to enter the Origin Dimensional Realm is through the 50th floor. Usually, it would be impossible to even go that high. However, now that the Seal has been lifted, the flow of Godly Energy from the 10th floor onwards will decrease by a lot. There will be little difference between each of them now.”
”You have a little less than nine years to reach that place. It won't be easy, and the tests' difficulty probably won't be affected. Still, we prepared the five of you just for this moment. If you can't do that, no one can.”
The man then looked at Hanan.
