Chapter 571: Free Work is Over (1/2)

Krune couldn't feel more satisfied at the moment.

”Thank you, Senior Oclo.”

Oclo nodded.

”It's nothing. The restaurant is already closed, so you can go to the Spiritual Chef Guild if you wish so. It shouldn't be a problem for you to pass the Star Path Chef test.”

Krune shook his head, though.

”That will be unnecessary. I don't plan to stay as a Star Path Chef for long. I decided to take the Star View Chef test instead. I can tell that the Divine Path Realm level ingredients are far from my real capabilities. I will cook Star Path Dishes for the next ten or so days and then try a Star View one after. I wonder if Head Chef Oclo would mind it.”

Oclo laughed out loud.

”Hahaha! No problem, no problem. Usually, I wouldn't let anyone touch the ingredients for Spiritual Food, but you are different. You are just like me and my peers, someone who loves food. That being said, I have no reason to deny your request. Not to mention that all the work you have done is at least worth this much from me. Also, if I wasn't confident about your abilities, I definitely wouldn't let you do so, either.”

Krune quickly bowed and thanks Oclo. He couldn't help but feel that this was one of the best choices he had ever made. He finished his Wisp Core and Foundation Transformation in half the expected time. Learned about the Spiritual Chef Occupation, and even made a breakthrough with a Semi-Divinity Star Meal. Where would he be so successful like this?

Krune spent his night cultivating and understanding his laws. Godly Energy, obviously, could also be used to expand one's foundation. Thanks to that, Krune's Universe Foundation was getting bigger and bigger too. Solar Systems, Nebulas, even one or other Blackhole could already be found there. Still, he was really far to achieve the size of an entire galaxy.

The next day, Krune returned to work. Once again, all the Star Path level and below Spiritual Dishes were handed to him to be cooked. It didn't matter how low the level of the dish was, Krune cooked every single one to the best of his abilities, much to Oclo's satisfaction. Real Spiritual Chefs will never look down on the level of the food they are preparing.

Krune also introduced his own ideas on the second day, which Oclo approved as soon as he tasted. Oclo was true to his words, Spiritual Chefs can't just follow others' recipes; they have to have their own. On the third day after Krune began to make Spiritual Dishes, five of his own recipes were added to the menu. There are always those who want to try something new, so orders for the new dishes quickly arrived.

Krune's own work began to generate profit for Oclo's restaurant. Oclo wanted to give Krune part of the gain since it was made on his dishes, but Krune refused. Instead, he asked Oclo for his Semi-Divinity meals. Oclo couldn't help but laugh as he nodded. The amount of Godly Stones made by the restaurant was definitely more than enough to pay for those meals that Krune asked.

However, Krune also noticed one thing. He couldn't eat too much of those dishes with a lot of Godly Energy. That's because even though those energies were gentle and easy to absorb, ultimately, they were not his energy.

His Godly Meridian worked pretty much like the previous Chaos, Elemental, and Spiritual Meridians too. They also started at a level where Krune couldn't transform the whole energy into his own. In fact, Krune couldn't change even 10%. The rest had to be done by his foundation. Considering that Krune wasn't supposed to come to the Higher Realms before being a Divinity Realm wisp, this rate of transformation by the Meridians will continue like this even after he reaches the peak of the Divinity Realm. That was to be expected. After all, Krune wasn't supposed to have ascended yet.

That being said, Krune's own Godly Energy was being affected by the number of other types of Godly Energy in his foundation. As mentioned before, Godly Energy doesn't affect one's foundation, but that was only in the case you absorb the Heaven and Earth Godly Energy, which has no owner. The Godly Energies in the Semi-Divinity Meals definitely had previous owners, though.

'I will first reach the 9th Stage of the Divine Path Realm and then focus on making the foreign Godly Energies my own.'

During the next night, Krune decided to ask Luvile for something else.

”Luvile, do you know what would it be to cultivate the Myriad Energies Technique from the start here in the Higher Realms?”

Luvile got puzzled.

”What do you mean?”

Krune then explained.

”The Myriad Energies Technique starts with Spiritual Energy, then it goes to Elemental Source Energy. Finally, it reaches the moment were I need Chaos Energy. However, suppose I begin cultivating it from the start in the Godly Path Realm. In that case, there will be no Spiritual Energy to talk about. Wouldn't it be useless then?”

Luvile finally understood what he meant.

”I don't think so. Like I said before, Godly Energy can substitute all the energies from the Lower Realms. That being said, you probably can use it for all the phases of the Myriad Energies Technique as well. Of course, you would need to try it out to be sure.”

Krune nodded. It was just a doubt he had. There is no one cultivating his Myriad Energies Technique in this place other than himself after all.
