Krune spent the last night cultivating and decided to leave the next day to take a look around the sect. Lakin and everyone else had already taken their own IDs and could walk around the Outer and Inner Sect too. The wisps wouldn't need to be afraid of anyone attacking them here, so almost every single one of them was out at the moment.
Lakin immediately left to go find where Cassy was, Dier had stayed with Ao's batch, so he wasn't there to start with. Krune noticed that there wasn't anything better to do and also left to take a look around. After checking the information about the facilities available for Inner Sect disciples, Krune decided to pass by the Cultivation Rooms first.
The cultivation rooms of the Inner Sect had Spiritual Energy Gathering Formations at the Nine Silver Stars level, which was impressive for someone Like Krune. The best one he found before was in the Mercenary Guild Headquarters in Yule Continent, and that one was still at the normal Stars level.
When Krune arrived at the facility, he noticed that he needed to pay Divine Merit Points for the time of use. One hour costs 100 Merit Points, and he has 2000 at the moment, which is the number that all Inner Sect Disciples who join for the first time have. Although he didn't have much, he still decided to pay for an hour to see how good it was.
The menial disciple responsible for taking care of the counter noticed Krune approaching and got a fright!
"The Sect Master's Disciple!"
Everyone around heard the menial disciple words and immediately looked over.
"So that is the Sect Master's very first disciple."
"I wonder why the Sect Master would accept a wisp as a disciple, though."
"At first, I thought it was a mistake, but two days had already passed, and nothing changed. That means that the Sect Master really selected him."
Krune could hear all the voices around him and sighed. That's why he didn't want to be the Sect Master's disciple. Still, now it was too late to care about that.
He then entered the room and started to cultivate so that he could see the difference. Suddenly, Krune's eyes lit up!
"Unbelievable! Cultivating inside here is the same as if I use Rank Five Spirit Stones without stop! Although it is a Nine Silver Stars Formation, it doesn't change the fact that it is still at the Silver level. I wonder just how good are the ones at the Gold Stars level. From what I found in the Sect's network, Gold Stars Formations are only available for Core and Legacy Disciples, though."
Krune already checked what was necessary to enter the Core Sect.
First, one had to be at least in the Core Formation Stage, anyone below that, even the Sect Master's disciple himself, wouldn't be allowed to enter.
Second, there is another exam that happens every year for the Inner Sect Core Formation Realm cultivators to take. If they pass, they can enter the Core Sect. Still, it wasn't easy.
The number that was accepted every year wasn't anything higher than 20 or 30 contestants. Don't think that this number is anything significant. One must remember that every ten years, a big batch of Inner Sect disciples join the Divine Path Sect. The proportion of Inner and Core disciple is only around 1/100, which means that the Inner Sect has at least 100 times more disciples than the Core.
Krune used every single second available to him to cultivate so that he wouldn't lose his points for nothing. When he left his room, he felt that there were even more people and demon beasts here now, and all of them were looking at him. Krune pretended that it wasn't his problem and decided to go to the next place.
After taking a teleport formation, he arrived at the Cultivation Pavillion, a gigantic building with hundreds of thousands of cultivation techniques, skills, and even some forbidden arts and soul cultivation techniques. Compared to this place, the old Rainbow Sect dimension Books Hall looked more like a small hut.
Once again, everyone present there at the moment noticed his presence, and soon, a crowd formed around Krune. He then arrived at the counter and paid 500 merit points, which would give him the chance to look through the techniques available for one hour too. After entering a private room, Krune activated the monitor in front of him and noticed that it had several filters.
One of the filters even considered the race that the disciple was from, which immediately picked Krune's attention.
"Could it be that it has wisps included?"
Krune then started to look for the wisps in that filter, and sure enough, the wisp race was also listed there.
"Does it mean that the Divine Path Sect has cultivation techniques suited for wisps too?"
Krune then immediately selected 'search,' and just a second later, three options appeared for him. The very first one made his mouth twitch a little, though.
Myriad Wisps Technique, by Krune.
"That old geezer is quite fast, isn't he?"
The other two options were.
Myriad Energies Technique, the common one, of course.
and...
Soon to Die Wisp Technique, by Ian.
Krune couldn't help but think that the name was very well fit for wisps. They have small life spans, after all. However, that wasn't the reason why this technique was called like this.
At the same time, the news that Lucio Koffel got his very first disciple spread like wildfire! Soon, images of Krune's appearance and recordings of his achievements in the Entrance Exam started to circulate in the entire sect. It didn't take long for the news to leave the planet and spread around the Divine Path Sect's territory.
It wasn't only there, though. The other three big powers received the news even faster than some of the top-ranked planets in the Divine Path Sect's territory.
Wang Planet, Wang Clan's main residence.
A 15 to 16 years old girl was looking through some information in their territory network when suddenly, someone knocked on her door.
"Come in."
Soon after, a man came in and approached the girl. She then stopped what she was doing and looked at the man.
"Uncle Feng, is there something?"
Uncle Feng then sighed and said.
"It's not like you don't know why I came here, right, Feifei?"
The girl was obviously Wang Feifei. It had been around 6 years since she met Krune back in the Makui Planet, and she had turned into a beautiful lady since then. The number of suitors that came to the Wang Clan to try to strike a marriage with her couldn't even be counted in the hundreds anymore. Still, Feifei refused every single one of them.
Her father, the Wang Clan's Clan Master, was starting to feel a little helpless already. It seemed like that it doesn't matter who it was, Feifei didn't show any interest in them.
Of course, the Wang Clan's Master had no intention what so ever of giving Feifei away to any other power. Those who came to propose had to agree to one absolute condition. They will be the ones marrying into the Wang Clan, not the other way around. Still, the number of suitors only increased, and they were all geniuses from powers inside the Wang Clan's territory. Having a direct connection with the Wang Clan would not be bad for anyone, even if they have to lose an heir.
Feifei immediately got up excited and said.
"I know that it is something about Krune since it is around the time for the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam. But like I said before, I can't see anything about him, so I can't tell what happened! That is one of the very few things that still makes me excited to find about. I'm very curious to know what happened in the Exam. So stop beating around the bunch and tell me already!"
Uncle Fend could see the happiness on her face and sighed. Feifei basically couldn't get excited like any other person about what would happen in the future since she could more or less see it. So it was very rare to see her this way.
Uncle Feng then used his communicator and connected to the room's monitor. After that, it started to play the entire Exam of the Divine Path Sect. The Exam was basically available for anyone with enough power, and the Wang Clan was obviously one of them. Feifei watched the entire process as if she was a kid who got a new toy. Of course, the images passing on the monitor were playing at 100 times faster than the normal speed. But Feifei had cultivation high enough to see it without missing anything.
But there was a point were her happy smile immediately disappeared. It was when she found Lofa, of course! Krune is as good as a door when it comes to things like Love, but Feifei is obviously different, so she noticed that at first glance.
"Who is she?! What does she want with MY Krune?!"
Because Lofa was closely related to Krune, Feifei also couldn't see much about her. This situation is even worse for Ao, Yusa, and Shinja, who had been with Krune for the longest. She also can't see anything about those three.
Uncle Feng then accessed a few more information in his communicator. He then told Feifei about Lofa's identity and everything else available at the moment.
"Hmph! That won't do, I need to act before it is too late!"
Uncle Feng got puzzled, though.
"Are you going to get someone to kill her?"
Feifei looked at uncle Feng as if she was looking at an idiot.
"Isn't that the same as saying that I'm not her match? That won't do, my pride as a woman won't forgive anyone who tries to do something like that to help me! Krune has his promise with me, but only the three of us know about that. No, wait! Maybe his friends know about it too, including that Lofa! Still, they probably don't take it very seriously due to my identity."
Uncle Feng pretended that he didn't hear and looked away.
Feifei then started to ponder about what she should do. But in the end, she decided to watch the rest of the recordings of what happened in the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam. She would think about it when she was done with all the information.
Finally, it came the time where Krune left the Illusion Realm and was accepted as the Sect Master's disciple. Feifei saw how unwilling Krune was when that happened and started to laugh out loud.
"Hahahaha! So funny! Who in the entire Divine Path Sect territory would be unwilling to be the Sect Master's disciple? Indeed, my Krune is the best!"
But it was then that Feifei's eyes lit up! Uncle Feng saw that and felt a chill on his back.
"Wait, you couldn't possibly..."
Before Uncle Feng could even finish talking, Feifei had already dashed out of the room. Poor Krune, he is still unaware of the storm that is coming his way!
