Chapter 680: To Open (2/2)
”That shouldn't be possible. However, if another passage is really opened into that place, I'll be able to tell you straight away. If you are concerned, I can show you the exact Space-Time location of the Dimensional Realm. Anyone who wishes to enter will have to come to that place. Of course, even if I tell you this location, it is quite huge, so it might be somewhat difficult to watch all the extension of it.”
Binmia nodded.
”That's good enough.”
”Great! Now, let's discuss my payment. Don't forget, there is no free lunch in this world. I want a hundred Top Quality Godly Energy Stones in exchange for the information.”
”One hundred?! Are you crazy?! This is a fortune!”
Zule didn't mind, though.
”Fortune? Fortune is what you can find in the Foundation Space of my Demon Core. What can a few Top Quality Godly Energy Stones do compared to all that wealth? Alright, I'll add another gift too.”
Suddenly, 'Zule's' Godly Energy condensed in front of Binmia, quickly forming a seal. It gently landed on her hands right after. As the Sect Master of the Flower River Sect, Binmia had seen tens of thousands of seals before. She could use a lot of them too. However, she had never seen one like this. In fact, she was surprised that Zule could create a seal of this level with his miser Core Formation Realm.
”What is this?”
Zule smiled before explaining.
”It is a Seal that can partially control the power of my body. Of course, at my level, it can't do something like control the entire thing. At most, you will be able to manipulate the energy a few kilometers around the seal for a minute or so. Obviously, this would be nothing more than a very small fraction of the entire body's power. Still, that can guarantee a boost in power for the user of this seal. I guess you wouldn't mind having such an advantage once in there, right?”
Binmia's eyes lit up as she looked at the seal. If used correctly, she might be able to get rid of any competition at that point in time.
”Very well, show me the Space-Time Location of the Dimensional Realm.”
Time began to pass as Krune and Iem proceeded with their own things. Soon, a year went by. Iem finally reached the same level as Formations master as he was in the Mortal Realm. He already had the basics to start with. He only had to adapt to this Realm's type of formations. After that, he decided to go for alchemy once more since that was his second side-occupation.
Krune also thought about doing the same thing, but he gave up in the end. He felt it was better to keep his focus on Blacksmith and Spiritual Chef occupations. If he added a third one to his table, he would have too many things to deal with. Besides, Iem had also developed his own variation of fire for the concoction.
”That's to be expected. You are using my Purple Tribulation Lightning to create the Purple Fire. However, Harold's power is a real fire-type one with his power focus exactly on it. Iem's pills might be even better than yours, depending on how he uses it.”
Krune had to admit that Luvile was right about it.
Another thing that happened during this time is that Krune began to make Divinity Star Level Spiritual Dishes. No one thought it to be strange since he was already in the Semi-Divinity Realm.
As for cultivation, Iem and Krune had basically relied on Krune's Spiritual Dishes. They indeed had quite a lot Top Quality Godly Energy Stones. However, they concluded that it was too much of a waste to use them at their level. After they reached the 3rd Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm, they stopped using it to gather energy. Instead, they only used those stones the moment they made a breakthrough into the next Stage. In Krune's case, he even wanted to bring some of them for Feifei to use.
On the restaurant's side, Nina had already recovered her abilities. Thanks to that, both her and Jilin advanced in their cooking skills without a problem. As for cultivation, they had already reached the late stages of the Soul Forging Realm. Krune believes that they wouldn't take more than a month or two to try the Void Breaking Realm breakthrough. The same goes for Nina's brother.
Krune was quite happy with their developments. It was so good that he felt that the old Nina was back too. The way she acted towards him changed from stiff to the same friendly and energetic way as before she lost her memories.
There was a dinner that everyone in the restaurant had together after work, where he even pointed it out.
”Hahaha! You see? I told you that she only needed to make new memories. Look at Nina now. I can't even feel any difference between this one and the one before the memory loss.”
Nina heard that and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
”I'm just being too meddlesome.”
”Of course not. It is thanks to this love for cooking that you recovered your skills this fast. Just keep going like that. As yours and Jilin's Master, I'm very happy with both your progress.”
Nina dropped her head without being able to look at Krune. Except for Krune, everyone couldn't help but feel like history was repeating itself.
Lino also noticed that and sighed.
'It is so obvious... To think she could fall in love with the same person twice... and that this person still hasn't a clue about it...'
