Chapter 613: Preparations (1/2)

After finishing everything, Krune quickly stored the Shields and left the workshop. He went straight to the Formations Guild in the city where Iem had been practicing so far. However, he was surprised when he saw Iem again.

”You broke through in the 9th Stage!”

Iem couldn't help but laugh out loud.

”Hahaha! I, your grandfather, am obviously amazing. Yes, I broke through two days ago. I used the merit points I got after we joined the Sect to buy a few cultivation resources. With them, I was successful in my breakthrough.”

They had entered the Sky Shifting Sect so that they could have access to those resources exactly. Iem didn't waste such a chance and bought them as soon as he could.

Krune was happy for him too. So far, only Iem had been able to keep up with his cultivation speed.

”Congratulations. It will make the exploration in the Godly Vein much safer. By the way, I brought my shields.”

Krune then took all the shields out of his Spatial Ring.

”Do you think you can finish all 102 of them?”

Iem nodded.

”We still have three entire weeks, that's more than enough time. However, these shields... other than the hexagonal shapes, they are very different from those you used when you fought me. Was it supposed to be like this?”

Krune laughed.

”You can tell, uh? Indeed, they are very different. They now have a new ability, you will see when the time to enter the Godly Vein Sealed Space comes.”

Iem laughed as well and put the shields away.

”Don't worry, I'll deliver them back to you in two weeks. You will have another week to practice with them before the grand event. By the way, you said that each Sect can send one group inside of the Godly Vein Sealed Space. I also received the invitation for the next Top Quality Godly Stones exploring. However, I don't know how the groups are made yet.”

Krune already expected that question, so he opened his communicator and sent Iem some information. Iem quickly took his one out and read about it.

”I see, so we have a total of ten slots for each Sect. Three of them are reserved for Divinity Realm, and the rest can be used by Semi-Divinity Realm or below. Between the Divinity Realms, there can be only one in the late stages, which means between the 7th and 9th. Another one in the middle stages, which is between 4th and 6th. And finally, one in the initial stages, obviously between 1st and 3rd.”

”It seems there is no such thing as a restriction for how strong the rest are as long as they are below the Divinity Realm.”

Krune nodded.

”Both you and I can fight at the level of ordinary Semi-Divinity Realm late stages. However, those who are going to be sent inside are definitely much stronger than ordinary ones. So chances are that we are weaker than them.”

Iem shrugged his shoulder.

”That is only in case we don't go all out. If we do, I doubt we will much weaker than them. I still think that it's the best set up for combat for us. Besides, I very much want to get my hands on a few of these so-called Top Quality Godly Stones. Until today, I haven't seen any Middle or High-Quality, let alone Top ones.”

Krune couldn't help but warn Iem, worried.

”Don't forget that the objective of this mission is to collect these Top-Quality Godly Stones. If you try to hide them for yourself, I believe you will be screwed up once you come out.”

Iem shook his head.

”I'm not that idiot. No doubt God Foundation and maybe even the God Core Realm Masters of those sects will be present to protect us at that time. However, it is said that we can take 1/10 of the Top-Quality Stones we find inside. As long as I get enough, I'll be able to procure a few for myself.”

Krune sighed in relief after hearing that.

”Then that's good. Anyway, I'll leave my shields with you. Call me when you finish them.”
