Chapter 713: One Year Remaining (1/2)

Lila nodded, not minding too much.

”Anyway, stay here for the next few days while we do some more tests. If nothing happens in the end, I'll deliver you two back to the Sky Shifting Sect, or you can stay with my Kalame Sect as well. I can guarantee that the resources, missions, and the treatment here will be even better than there.”

Krune and Iem shook their heads in response.

”Sect Master Franlia had helped us a lot in the past. Besides, she already provides us with more resources than we need. We want to stay there to properly pay the favor.”

Lila sighed after hearing that.

'Well, they will be staying in the Sky Shifting Sect anyway. It will be easier to track them down if necessary.'

As mentioned before, the Sky Shifting Sect was located in the same Solar System as the Kalame Sect. In the point of view of a Nascent God cultivator like Lila, one might say that the Sky Shifting Sect was her neighbor.

After that, Lila, Krune, Iem, and Zuitou spent the next few days testing the Floating Dark Water Globe nonstop. Unfortunately, there was simply no reaction. At the moment, the only thing that they could use it for was for localization. Lila tried to go as far as possible, using her Spatial Abilities. But even though she had gone several galaxies away, the Dark Water she brought with her still slowly moved in the main body of water's direction. They even set up a concealing formation around the thing. Still, it was useless against the connection between the two dark water bodies.

Of course, Krune knew the reason for that. This thing was related to Mental Energy. Concealing Formations never had any effect on his Mental Energy. Naturally, it was useless against the Dark Water.

Still, they couldn't figure out why the Chamber even opened in the first place. Lila had verified Vorin several times, but there was simply nothing wrong with him. That being said, there shouldn't have been a reason for the Chamber to entirely open anyway.

'Perhaps the condition for its opening was for someone to enter it.'

She thought...

Finally, Lila and everyone else gave up trying. Unless they could find another use for it, this was just some strange water. As for Krune and his Dark Water, he decided to bring it back to Heavin in the Mortal Realm for testing. No one knew more about Mental Energy than him, after all. He might even have some uses for it.

On the next day, Zuitou had personally brought Krune and Iem back to the Sky Shifting Sect. Franlia was there to receive him as well. After all, Zuitou was a Nascent God Realm cultivator and the Kalame Sect Master. However, she was quite intrigued by his behavior. He was acting a little... too polite. Obviously, Krune and Iem had something to do with it. She even thought that they might have used that ridiculous powerful demon beast to threaten them.

After talking for some time, Zuitou left, leaving Franlia with Krune and Iem.

”So... how did things go?”

Krune shrugged his shoulders before saying.

”It was better than I expected. We got a few good things and even nurtured a good relationship with Kalame Sect's Ancestor. All in all, it was good.”

Franlia was shocked for a moment. She didn't even know that the Kalame Sect had an Ancestor hiding in there. Their Sect Master was already in the Nascent God Realm, so their Ancestor must be even stronger in that same Realm.

”You two keep bringing me surprises one after another. Oh well, I will not ask what it is that you did there. From the looks of it, the Kalame Sect wants to keep it a secret, and I'm not in the mood to make an enemy of them. All I need to know is if it will impact my Sky Shifting Sect in any way or not?”

Iem pondered a bit and nodded.

”Well, if by 'impact' you mean getting an ally if things go south, then yes. I believe that if I ask them to give your Sky Shifting Sect some help in a complicated situation in the future, they probably will do it.”

Franlia's interest was immediately piqued.

”Why?”

”Well, let's just say that they also want me and Krune to owe them some favors.”

Franlia wasn't very satisfied with that ambiguous answer. Still, if what Iem said was true, then it was a good outcome nonetheless.

”Sigh... fine. As long as you are okay, then my sect hasn't let down the help you gave it.”

Krune then asked something else.

”What about the problem with the Demon Beast's Dimensional Realm?”
