Chapter 837: Life Fails (1/2)
Krune basically cultivated for the remainder of the day before returning to the guild once again for the next 12 hours of work. Roben, of course, was there as well. He had to check Krune's progress to see how he would fare.
Seeing that, Krune decided to ask something he forgot the day prior.
”Senior Roben, how long would I have to work to pay my debt?”
Roben pondered for a bit before saying.
”Considering an average Spirit Awakener's ability and your level, I would say that you'll probably need around 200 or so years.”
Krune's eyes immediately widened at the answer! 200 years? He had been alive for more or less that amount of time. Doesn't that mean that by the time he reached 400, he would have spent half of his life paying the debt?
”That won't do! That's way too long!”
Roben shrugged his shoulders as he said.
”Of course it is! In fact, I doubt you can even live that long unless you reach the God Core Realm.”
Only then did Krune realize he had another problem. Each realm had a different cultivation level where one could achieve immortality. For example, the Mortal Realm had the Divine Path Realm, while the Godly Path Realm had the God Foundation Realm. As for the God Realm, Krune would need to reach the God Core Realm if he didn't want to die of old age. The only doubt was how much lifespan he had as a Wisp. Even he didn't know that much.
'Well, I don't feel like I'm getting old that quickly, so I should have enough time. Fortunately, it's very easy for me to reach the Godly Fusion Realm thanks to my Myriad Energies Technique and Heavenly Core. I should be able to cultivate fast enough to avoid the lifespan issue.'
However, the time necessary to pay his debt was still an issue.
”Isn't there a way to pay the debt faster?”
Roben nodded as he replied.
”Increase your cultivation so you can awaken higher-level Spirits. Naturally, you will gain more and pay for things faster. This 200 years I talked about was in case you stayed at the 1st Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm for the rest of your life.”
Krune sighed in relief after hearing that. That was true. He just needed to increase his cultivation.
”Alright, then. Let me go back to work.”
Seeing that Krune began once again, Roben soon left the room.
This kind of process continued for several days in a row. During this time, Krune had achieved the same result, partially awakening a flawed Spirit, which wouldn't work. After two months, Krune had finally achieved success, awakening a spirit that wouldn't die through the random condition method.
The same sound of a baby crying echoed in his mind as he sighed in relief.
”Good boy. Seems like you were the lucky one between all the others from before.”
Krune then sent his Godly Energy inside the dagger, which somehow calmed down the newborn Spirit. Following that, Krune called Roben over.
”Senior Roben, I'm finally done with this dagger.”
Roben then asked his sword, Zap, to take a look at it.
”How is it? Does this Spirit have any problem?”
Zap's Spirit examinated the Spirit in the dagger before confirming.
”This little boy is fine. That's definitely a success.”
Roben smiled after hearing that.
”Great! Krune, how many times did you try to awaken this dagger's Spirit?”
Krune pondered for a bit before responding.
”89 times. I partially awakened Flawed Spirits in the previous attempts, so I had to stop midway.”
Roben and Zap nodded.
”It's still too early to say it, but it seems like your method is highly likely a lot more successful than ours. If it turns out to be like that, then your chances of success are ten times higher than a Spirit Awakener at your cultivation level. That is unbelievably high.”
Krune smiled in response after hearing that.
”That's good, then. However, don't send this dagger away yet. It is part of a dual dagger set, so I have to awaken the Spirit of the other dagger before sending it back to its owner.”
