Chapter 977: Finalised Passive Abilities (1/2)

Another six months had passed in such a fashion as Krune and the Seamstress headed down once every three months to retrieve 60 eggs each time. After they had formed a plan of action, they didn't waste any time.

When they headed towards the ground, it was only to scout and observed the behavior of their enemies. With that, they would be able to obtain a greater understanding of them that would further their research and development.

At present, both of them had three goals. First, to continue developing their passive abilities and train daily so that their stamina would improve. Second, create a farm of Godly Points. And third, create a Supreme Monster to obtain an active skill.

With that, their goal in Layer 3 would be achieved. Krune was able to determine how these abilities would help him when he regained his cultivation once again. And upon obtaining numerous ideas, he was pretty excited. He was assured that he would become even stronger among his peers than before.

After obtaining his Spiritual Incarnation, he was like an undying tiger with wings. And now, after obtaining the abilities related to his physique, he was like an undying strong tiger with wings.

When cultivating, Godly Energy was focused on the most. So, everyone only built their cultivation bases. Though, not much of an emphasis was placed on the physical body. Even if they did, their physical bodies had a clear limit.

For a regular human, their bodies were weak. Even though they obtained a boost in strength thanks to their cultivation base, it was limited. There weren't any established methods to cultivate their bodies. But now, having observed their workings for long enough and using his understanding derived from his comprehension of the Balance Laws, Krune determined that the real treasure of this Sub-Realm was the physical cultivation method.

That was why an emphasis on their mortal selves had been placed. Krune determined that by the time he left the Sub-Realm, he would have obtained the physical cultivation method. Godly Energy related to the cultivation base, Mental Energy related to the soul, and now, Physical Energy related to the body. They would form a trinity once he completed them.

Krune realized that he would evolve to a whole new realm of strength in the end, possibly able to skip a major realm in power in the future to combat his opponents.

Just thinking about it made everything he experienced worth it.

Moreover, living as a mortal human allowed him to look at life from a perspective that a Wisp never obtained, even when it was young. So, it was an experience just like what he had desired. Thanks to that, Krune felt he wouldn't face any blocks in cultivating until he reached the peak of the Nascent God Realm.

Krune was currently standing atop a cage, looking at the pupa that had been growing within. Upon seeing him, the pupa opened its mouth and shot out its tongue, smashing the cage. The cage faintly vibrated from the attack, but Krune was assured it didn't even suffer any damage from this.

As the cage was constantly in contact with the ocean water, he supplied water to it with a pipe, healing all damage. While the pupa kept attacking the cage with no effect, Krune had been observing its state all along, sensing the presence built up within it.

As they were grown with bone tree fruits made using the blood of their adult counterparts, all the pupae were growing to become stronger than their counterparts on the ground. As they were growing, the bone tree fruits became insufficient since the source was the blood of only a single adult.

After that, Krune and the Seamstress caught a couple more adults by risking their lives. He took one while the Seamstress took the other. With a second adult, he had an easier time. Moreover, despite their wings being clipped at regular intervals and their blood being drawn out daily, they were growing healthily.

It was because they were being supplied with an unending stream of nutrition. Life was tough because Krune and the Seamstress had to constantly enter the ocean above to kill a lot of fish. Even though he had expanded the bone tree farm to produce enough bone tree fruits naturally through the ocean water alone, he still had to feed the adults with enough meat.

Otherwise, they would refuse to eat the bone tree fruits after a while and would rather starve to death. It seemed they had mental blocks that refused to survive by eating the bone tree fruits alone. So, Krune had no other choice but to hunt the fishes from the ocean.

As the pupae grew further, after four months, quite a lot of them began to spin a web around themselves, turning into a cocoon. A month later, they turned into adults. Once that happened, Krune obtained a lot of blood supply for the subsequent bone tree fruits.

Once they evolved, he used his freezing energy to freeze them to a near-death state, clipped their wings, bound them and tied them up in a cave with the other adults. Moreover, through his experiments, he determined that they only evolved when the climate was warm and humid.

With a change in the temperature, they wouldn't evolve. So, once the cold currents began to flow in the ocean above, the temperate in the place dropped, causing the pupae that had been on the verge of spinning a cocoon to give up and remain as a pupa.
