Chapter 885: Anticipation (1/2)
Krune eventually exited the dome-shaped chamber as he placed a lot of materials on the ground, basically emptying his entire reserve of materials. What he was planning to do right now was more or less a massive project, the likes of which he hadn't attempted in the God Realm yet.
Little Krune inhabited a Pseudo-Wisp, taking control of its body as it moved alongside Krune. Both of them stood before the large pile of materials, beginning to process them immediately. The other 99 Pseudo-Wisps were still in the dome-shaped chamber, still immersed in cultivation.
They were still able to cultivate for some more time. After all, Krune and Little Krune were already in the Seventh Stage God Foundation Realm. As for them, the quality of energy inside them only conformed to the Fifth Stage of the God Foundation Realm.
That difference in cultivation was due to the fact that they cultivated passively. As for Krune, he was actively siphoning the Godly Energy into him. This naturally increased his speed of cultivation. On top of that, he also made use of the vortex generated by opening his subspace to force him to absorb more Godly Energy, increasing his cultivation speed even further.
Then again, as both he and Little Krune were cultivating simultaneously, the suction force they generated against the Godly Energy caused a massive funnel in the area that the Godly Energy was unable to prevent itself from gushing in like a torrent.
Moreover, the Pseudo-Wisps were just sacks of energy. They didn't possess a cultivation base to regulate the energy stored in their bodies. This, in turn, reduced their cultivation speed.
This was why, despite cultivating together, the cultivation bases of Krune and Little Krune increased faster than the Pseudo-Wisps.
Krune took a hammer he had forged in the past as he began to process the materials. Since the Mind Splitting Technique was activated, he was able to use one hand to generate flames to process the materials while he used the other to work with them.
”Hmm...” He frowned as he looked at the results of his work, feeling that the amount of work he could do at the moment was far less than he had expected. With that, six Pseudo-Wisps left the chamber before taking on a human form. To ensure they wouldn't look off, Krune changed their body structures a little, assuming varying ages and gender.
After that, Little Krune split itself into seven fragments and burrowed into each Pseudo-Wisp, now controlling seven clones in total. With its cultivation base at the Seventh Stage God Foundation Realm, it was able to fragment itself into seven.
Unsurprisingly, the work efficiency increased. Krune was working on processing the materials using brute force while the clones controlled the flames. Unlike before, they didn't use normal flames.
The clones activated different laws, changing the inherent color of the flames as their properties continued to change with time. They did the changes according to the material being processed. This way, the efficiency of production was higher while ensuring higher quality output.
Each material had a respective use in the overall picture, so Krune was careful in his creation. Even though he had excess materials to use, failure would cause him to run out of them. He didn't have enough for a second attempt. With that, Krune had to tread with caution and care.
Krune condensed a bowl using some of the materials he had processed, putting the molten substance of another material inside it. This way, it was stored perfectly without being damaged. One of the clones constantly emitted heat that would maintain its molten state.
It took four days before they finished processing all the materials and removing all the impurities inside them. At this moment, three clones were activating all sorts of laws as they maintained the conditions of the molten materials.
Not once did they rest in the entire duration, always being in a state of tension as their minds constantly whirred, double-checking over all the details that were necessary to create what they wished to make.
They were constantly butting heads, canceling their previous thought process upon hitting a dead-end before brainstorming a new idea. Unfortunately, a lot of materials were wasted due to this, but there was nothing to be done about that. This was Krune's first time doing something like this.
What he wished to create was a simple teleportation formation. It was the same as the ones available in the cities. But, what he wished to achieve had a few differences.
A normal teleportation formation could be accessed as long as someone knew of its coordinates. It was the same as how Cultivator was able to send the bag of Rank Four God Stones to the Sunkan City Lord directly upon knowing the latter's coordinates.
So, possessing a teleportation formation had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages consisted of the fact that one was able to transport goods over massive distances instantly. Moreover, with advanced teleportation formations, they were even capable of transporting powerful cultivators.
Then again, it was also a disadvantage. Suppose someone had enmity towards the Sunkan City Lord. With that in mind, as long he knew of the other party's coordinates, he could activate the teleportation formation on his side and emerge from the Sunkan City Lord's. This would give him a perfect chance to initiate a sneak attack.
That was why all the teleportation formations were closely guarded by a group of cultivators. Nevertheless, the root cause of the risk remained. Possessing something like that was tantamount to suicide for someone like Krune.
Even though he hadn't been able to sense Little Cally lately, possessing such a teleportation formation would give it the perfect recipe to make his life a living hell. Random people would pop out of it from time to time and make his life more miserable than ever before.
