Krune was taken aback.
"What you mean?"
Karine just shook her head and said.
"There is no need for you to know about that now. Also, your cultivation is way too low at the moment, so come back once you reach the Soul Forging Realm. Go outside and gather a few Elemental Flowers, you can also take those Extreme Fire Crystals if you want. They should provide you quite some help in the future."
Krune immediately rejected that idea, he had way too many questions.
"No can do. First of all, what is this place? What does Wally expect to achieve? Does it have something to do with the fate of the Wisp Race? I knew about the War to conquer the Dalin Universe all that time ago, so was your death and the other disciples faked? If yes, why? Also, was it part of the plan?"
Karine laughed a little and answered.
"Aren't you a curious wisp? Well, I guess this is a trait that all wisps have anyway. I can answer your first question, though. This is where Wally and we created the Myriad Energies Technique. This is also why when you killed those demon beasts outside, their energy helped improve your Elemental Meridians a little."
"As for what Wally is expecting to achieve. Isn't that obvious? He just wants to save the wisps' lives. You heard about the battle between him and the other ascenders, right? So you definitely know why the wisps are holding by a tread."
Krune shook his head.
"That's not what I meant. I want to know what Wally plans on doing specifically."
Karine just shrugged her shoulders.
"That you will have to ask him directly. As for our deaths, I told you already. You have no need to know about what happened there. If it is part of some plan or not, you will need to ask Wally for that as well."
Krune understood that it wasn't going anywhere.
"Alright! Then I'm going to ask Wally about it. So, where can I find him?"
Karine sighed
"Who knows? All I can tell you is that he definitely knows where you are, but I have no idea which Universe he is watching you from."
Krune knew that she was right, that presence is his Elemental Meridians was more than enough proof that Wally knew about him. But he came to understand a piece of information. Wally wasn't expecting him to learn the second form of the Myriad Energies Technique by himself. But since he didn't intervene, it means that it probably fell into his plans as well.
"You said to come back here once I reach the Soul Forging Realm. But in this Elemental Path Dimensional Realm, only Divine Soul Realm or below can enter. Soul Forging and above are impeded from doing so."
Karine nodded and extended her hands. In front of her, Spiritual Energy started to converge, and soon, a token was formed with it.
"You can use this token to reach this place any time you want. But remember, you will only be able to use only one time! So be sure to only come back once you reached the Soul Forging Realm."
"Why Soul Forging Realm?"
Karine showed a playful smile and answered.
"That will be a surprise."
Krune couldn't help but feel that this girl resembled Feifei a little in her attitude.
"There is one thing that has been bothering me. The Elemental Path has been ongoing for a very long time. But as soon as I entered it, that protection formation was found for the first time. Could it be that we only found this place because a real Myriad Energies Technique user appeared?"
Karine nodded.
"Smart! You are correct. This Dimensional Realm is not as endless as the outsiders think. In fact, it is quite small. Even if you appear at the start, you shouldn't need more than 1 month to reach the end of it. It's just that because only Divine Soul Realm and below cultivators can enter, they don't have the level necessary to perceive what is happening around them. Every time we open this realm, we change its shape. So it always looks like they are entering a new region that had never been explored before."
Krune agreed with her. He had this idea in his mind ever since he found that protection formation.
Krune retracted his Lightning Energy, and it went back to cover only himself. He looked at the others behind him, and just as he was about to talk, Karine acted.
Except for Feifei and Krune, the rest was lifted on the air for some kind of invisible energy and brought right in front of her. It doesn't matter how much Spiritual or Elemental Source Energy they used, it wasn't possible to move a single muscle.
Krune immediately asked.
"What are you doing?!"
Karine looked at him and said.
"Different from that girl over there, these ones don't have much of a connection with you, right? In that case, I can't let them go now that they know about the other forms of the Myriad Energies Technique."
Krune didn't like it and decided to intervene. But he soon noticed that he also couldn't move, and the same could be said for Feifei.
"Stop! You can't simply kill them just because they heard something."
Karine looked at Krune with a puzzled face.
"Do I look like an assassin to you? I'm just wiping their memories of everything that happened in this Yang Hall, that's all."
Only then did Krune notice one thing. Rarol's instinct always warned when some danger would appear. But he didn't act at all until now. That means that there had never been a danger to him in this place to him to start with.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Karine put then back on the ground, and they started to make their way outside. When Krune looked at their eyes, he could see that they had lost all focus. They passed by him and started to go back upstairs.
"Don't worry, they will come back to normal once they leave this building."
Feifei pondered a bit and then asked.
"Just as I thought, you really are Karine, one of the Wisp God's disciples, right?"
Krune might have closed Karine and himself inside the Tribulation Lightning Layer. Still, Feifei had full access to it with her Divine Sense, so she heard everything they discussed.
Still, he got surprised by that question. That's because it seemed like Feifei already knew Karine even before she introduced herself to Krune.
"You knew her?"
Feifei nodded at Krune.
"Don't you remember? That day when Cinty released the seal covering the specs of light representing the nine disciples, we had the chance to look into all of them. Karine just so happens to be identical to the Karine in the Wisps' Ancestry Hall. She was the owner of the Yang Core"
Suddenly, Krune felt a little embarrassed.
"Errr... Would you believe me if I told you that I only checked Wally's one?"
Karine and Feifei looked at Krune like he was an idiot.
"Cough, cough. I just had too much in my mind at that time, so I forgot."
In fact, it was because he had been talking a lot with Light Spirit at that moment. So it isn't a lie if he says that he forgot the other ones.
Karine then looked at Feifei and asked.
"Well, and who are you? I can see that you are related. After all, both of you have the Elemental Meridians. Of course, only Krune has the main type."
Krune got puzzled.
"Main type?"
Karine smiled and commented.
"You will understand it in the future as well."
Krune knew that asking would do no good, so he ignored it for now.
Feifei then looked at Karine and said.
"I'll tell who I am."
She smiled and grabbed Krune's core out of the Tribulation Lightning ball. She then brought him close to her chest and proclaimed proudly.
"I'm his Fiance, and he is my man!"
If Krune was in his human form at the moment, even a love dull wisp like him would feel his heart racing.
Karine saw that, and her mouth twitched.
"Are you for real?"
Krune immediately confirmed.
"Cough, cough. That is true, we have been together for quite some time already."
Karine couldn't help but ask.
"But are you okay with it? A child between a human and a wisp is very hard to be conceived, you know?"
Feifei and Krune were taken aback. Who is talking about children here? It's still too early! They don't have time to take care of one at all!
But a second later, the two of them noticed the problem in that comment.
"Wait, what do you mean with that?"
Karine noticed that they weren't pretending and decided to explain.
"Well, If a reason has to be given, that is because wisps are too weak. Let's see, how am I going to explain it..."
Karine pondered a bit and then started to talk.
"When a wisp gains its human form, their personality decides which gender they will have. From that point onwards, they can also have children. In the case of female wisps, they just need to make sure to not return to their wisp forms until the pregnancy is over."
"If it was a wisp couple, then there would be no problem. After all, they are from the same race. I might as well tell you that what will be born from a Male and Female wisp is also a wisp. It's just that their child will already be in the Foundation Establishment realm, just like their parents. Because of that, the wisp will be born in its human form too. Simply put, he will look just like a human baby. Once that newborn wisp learns how to control his cultivation, he can return to his wisp form just like any other wisp."
"The problem here is the copulation between the wisps and the other races. As I mentioned before, wisps are too weak. Which means that their 'seeds' are also in the same boat. A male wisp's sperm is too weak to break the barrier of the female's ovum. In case the wisp is a female, her egg will be too weak to resist the man's sperm."
Krune and Feifei looked at each other and had the same idea.
"You said that it is very hard. Still, it also means that it is not impossible, correct? Then, what should we do?"
Karine then looked away while scratching the back of her head.
"Well... Errr... You just need to... Cough, cough... Try a lot harder...
Errr... You know... Just... Go at it several times... Per day...
Sooner or later... There will be a time where the... Cough, Cough...
Where the 'trials'... will bear fruit."
Feifei was already as red as a tomato when Karine reached the 'a lot harder' part. But she immediately got a foreboding feeling.
As for Krune, he waited until the end of the explanation.
"A lot harder? Then that's simple. I will make sure to try very 'hard.' No, I will make sure to do it 'extra hard.'
Krune looked at Feifei and then announced proudly!
"Feier, you can count on my hardness!"
