Chapter 783: Silver Lining (1/2)

Krune received Lani's staff back, which had been split in half. Although it was broken, he could still use its material for the new one. After that, he went ahead and reforged it for Lani.

Back in the Thakulo Uniserve, Tixan went to talk with Jojle.

”I got that trade route you asked, so we're even now.”

Jojle nodded with a smile.

”Sorry for troubling you, Senior Phantom Blade. I already prepared a banquet for you. Please come with me.”

Tixan shook his head in response.

”There's no need. I went to my home first to take all my things. I'm just passing by to tell you that I'm finally leaving.”

Jojle was taken aback as he responded.

”Le-leaving?! Where? Was there something that you disliked here? I can definitely fix it up for you.”

Tixan shook his head as he said.

”No. You know that I've been in the Peak of the Divinity Realm for some time, right? I've decided to ascend to the Godly Path Realm. Well, even if I held my cultivation back, I wouldn't be able to stay for more than 1000 years or so. Considering our lifespan, this is simply no time at all.”

Jojle couldn't help but insist.

”But we're in a delicate balance at the moment. We still don't know what would happen to Dalin. We truly might need senior's help to recover it in case we find a way through the Dalin Universe Protection Formation.”

Tixan shook his head.

”That won't do. I already agreed to ascend together with that guy I battled before. He's also at the limit of time at which he can stay here, so I will take this chance to go as well. Besides, the Mortal Realm has been quite boring for some time already.”

”Wait! Lani? Are you going to ascend with the guy you beat during that trade route dispute? Why?”

Tixan laughed in response.

”Because he was the only one who was able to force me to use my sword. His strength will make things easier for me in the next realm since I don't know where we'll be sent. Well, this isn't a bad thing for you either. You might not have me around anymore, but Lani is also leaving. I'm sure you like this idea.”

Of course, Jojle liked it. After all, Lani was related to Krune and the Wisp God. It's good news that he was leaving. However, Jojle didn't think it was worth losing Tixan over it.

”Senior. Is there really no way to make you reconsider it?”

Tixan shook his head.

”It's already decided. Alright, if you succeed in your ascension tribulation, I'll see you in the Godly Path Realm in the future.”

Tixan didn't wait for Jojle to answer back before disappearing from the room. Before he knew it, Tixan already opened a Spatial Gate and left his Divine Sense range. Jojle's regret from sending Tixan to that dispute over a useless trade route was all that was left.

A few days later, Krune finished Lani's new Purple Flame Staff. This time, he made it even more resistant while keeping its ability to bend.

”Alright, grandmaster. Try it out.”

Lani already finished healing his body by now, so he gladly accepted the new staff. After using a few skills in a closed dimensional realm, he nodded.

”Excellent!”

However...

”Indeed, it looks excellent.”

Krune and Lani were taken aback by that voice. Suddenly, a hole in the Dimensional Realm appeared, which was used by Tixan to come inside.

Lani looked at that and couldn't help but sigh.

”Couldn't you at least inform the others that you were coming? Wait! This Dimensional Realm was supposed to be locked inside the Sect's Protection Formation. Could it be...”

Tixan nodded as he replied.

”Oh! That eggshell outside? I cut through it.”

Lani then spread his Divine Sense outside the Dimensional Realm. Sure enough, the entire sect was in chaos due to the sudden appearance of that hole. He quickly informed Lucio why that happened. Only then did the elders and the rest calm down.

”Don't break other's protection formations! They're expensive!”

Tixan laughed in response.

”Hehe. Sorry, sorry.”

Tixan then looked at Krune, who was looking at him with curious eyes.

”Are you the wisp I was supposed to fight before?”

Krune nodded.

”Yes. But I had other things to do, so my grandmaster took my place.”

Tixan nodded as he came down.

”I see. Well, nice to meet you.”

It was then that Lani remembered something.

”Oh, right! Tixan, show your sword to Krune.”

Tixan narrowed his eyes.

”You should know that I don't show my sword that easily, right?”
