One month before the Holy Land opening, Krune's group was back in the Wisp Main World.
But before they left, Laka asked everyone another question.
"Are you sure you want to bring those two kids? That is not a place to have fun, you know? I can't even guarantee if they can resist the energy of the Higher Realms."
Krune, Feifei, Tiane, and Ruik smiled and nodded their heads.
"We already checked with Cinty, this Holy Land will stay open for 10 entire years, right?"
Laka nodded.
"Yes. By the time it is over, there will be only 4 more years before the start of the Heavenly Competition. So there will definitely be thousands of competitors, and I'm far from being the only Heavenly Divine Soul entering that place. You should reconsider."
Krune and the others shook their heads.
"There is no way we would leave our kids behind during this entire time. Besides, we can keep them inside the Pocket Dimension Spatial Box until they grow stronger enough to come out. Also, this is a great opportunity, so I don't want them to lose it. Be it Fie or Liriu, they have outstanding talents, and this place would definitely make them grow even further."
Laka sighed and didn't try to stop them anymore. He isn't a father, so he can't really give a convincing enough reason.
Krune looked around and noticed that Cinty wasn't here yet.
"Where is Cinty?"
It was then that they heard her voice.
"I was bidding farewell to Kiirion. As you know, even with 10 slots, it is not enough to bring everyone. Someone would have to stay, and Kiirion volunteered himself to do so. According to him, he doesn't have much talent, but his cultivation is quite high already. Since he is in the 9th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm, he might as well stay to prepare for his breakthrough."
Everyone had to admit that it was true. So far, they have four tokens, which gives them access to 12 slots. Krune, Feifei, Fie, Liriu, Tiane, Ruik, Dilo, Xankruan, Cinty, Laex, Laka, and Laka's protector. There was simply no more available for use. The very fact that they got this amount is already a miracle to start with. Since there was no other way, it was good that at least someone offered himself to stay.
Ruik couldn't help but laugh, though.
"I see, no wonder you two spent so much time together in the last year. You were making up for the time in the Holy Land. Hahaha!"
Cinty's face went a little red after hearing that.
Krune, on the other hand, showed a serious face.
"Cinty. Although the chances are low, you should have taken care. What if you got pregnant? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to give birth in the middle of the Holy Land? Considering the time you spent home, just how many times you two had se-"
Boom!
Feifei sent Krune flying with a kick without showing any mercy.
"Shut up! Let them have their fun. Cinty is a responsible Wisp, so she definitely took precautions for that to not happen. Right, Cinty?"
Suddenly, Cinty dropped her head in shame...
Precautions? What is that? She wasn't even that experienced with those things to start with, so what precautions did she take? She only let nature take its course...
Krune quickly returned and pointed out.
"See! I was right! They went at it full for-"
Boom!
Another kick and Krune was sent flying again.
Still, he quickly returned once more.
"Alright, alright. I won't say anything else."
Fie had a puzzled face, though.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Krune nodded and started to explain.
"It's about se-"
Boom!
"Shut up, idiot! Fie is too young to know those things."
As curious as Fie could be, Feifei completely forbid her to make any further inquires.
Ruik, who was still laughing, added oil to the fire.
"Cinty should be fine. Don't forget how hard it is to happen. Such a lucky 'shot' like Krune's won't happen again anytime soon. Of course, there is no doubt that Kiirion gave several more 'shots,' though. Hahaha!"
Laka didn't know what to say about this scene. As for Laex, he just patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, they are always like this. Everyone already gave up trying to have normal interactions when Krune is around. Especially if Ruik is with him."
Sure enough, those years together made Laex understand many things, even though some of them don't have much of a use...
"Cough, cough. Leaving that aside, shouldn't we start moving."
Krune, who once again returned as if nothing had happened, nodded his head. Krune wanted to say that he already knew about those things between man and woman when he was only 3 years old. Still, looking at Feifei's dark face, he felt that it would be better to keep quiet about this topic.
"Errr... Let's use Phillin's teleport formation. It can teleport everyone directly to one of the surrounding planets."
Laka nodded.
"The best one would be Qantun Planet. Is it almost beside, and we can move directly to the entrance with a Spatial Gate. But be aware that the place will be full of cultivators and demon beasts. Just to be safe, keep your kids inside the Pocket Dimension Spatial Box before moving there too. With the amount of rivalry between universes with Heavenly Fragments and Heavenly Divine Souls, anyone might try to pick up a fight with you. Of course, according to the Dalin Universe Management laws, they can't force you to fight, so don't fall for their tricks."
Everyone nodded. Although Liriu and Fie sulked at the fact that they had to stay inside, Feifei and Tiane were adamant, so they had to follow the orders.
Krune checked everyone and confirmed that they all had changed their appearances. Unless someone they had met personally before appears and recognizes their auras, no one will identify them.
Lastly, but not least. There was the fact that Wamie and Gilia didn't need those slots. One year ago, after Krune concluded the deal with Laka, Wamie took the opportunity to reveal.
"We don't need it. Our All Life Sect Sacred Land was far ahead of the other two Sacred Lands. Since we would participate in the Heavenly Competition, they made sure to prepare two slots for us in advance. That being said. I thought that I would be able to surpass you during my time in there while you stayed outside. However, it seems like it won't be that easy."
So whether Krune would be going or not, Wamie and Gilia were already guaranteed inside. Krune didn't mind it, though. It was not like he would force them to give their slots to him. Besides, different from Laka, Wamie and Gilia really had only a slot each, a lower level token. That means that there would be only two slots available. Krune wouldn't be able to leave Feifei or Fie behind for 10 entire years. So he definitely wouldn't use it.
Of course, now that he had his deal with Laka, he didn't need to mind such things anymore.
Everyone then stepped on the teleport formation before activating it. With a flash of silver light, the entire group was gone.
The Holy land was located in the Faraut Galaxy, Guenkal Solar System. The Qantun Planet was obviously inside this Solar System as well. Just as Laka mentioned, the place was full of cultivators and demon beasts. Heavenly Fragments and Heavenly Divine Souls owners from several universes could be seen here too.
Of course, quite a few of them had changed their appearance. Some even had treasures capable of changing their auras, all for the sake of not being identified before the Holy Land opens. Still, more than half didn't mind it. Some were simply confident in their abilities, while others didn't have any enemies or grudges. There is also the fact that there are loads of cultivators and demon beasts who aren't Heavenly Fragment or Soul Owners to start with.
As expensive as the Holy Land passage might be, there is no lack of universes and powers out there willing to pay it. Laka's four tokens and Wamie and Gilia's two slots are excellent examples of this phenomenon.
Suddenly, one of the several teleport formations in the City of Qanta activated. No one even bothered with it, though. Those teleport formations had been activating so many times recently that no one paid attention to it anymore.
From inside the Teleport Formation, Krune and his group stepped out. As soon as they did it, they were showered by Divine Senses. It is not that others were keeping tracking on them. It's just that everyone was with their guards high, so it was the same for all the participants.
"Well, it seems like we are here."
Just as Krune's group was about to move, they heard a voice from the side.
"You are finally here! Just where the hell had you been until now?"
When they looked over, they saw a female demon beast in human form. However, except for Cinty, no one else could feel her cultivation. It couldn't be helped, though. That girl was an 8th Stage Divine Path Realm Phoenix!
After seeing that female demon beast, Laka's heart skipped a bit. Still, he noticed that her aura had already locked onto him, so escaping was out of the question.
"Cough, cough. Ohhhh! Look if it isn't my beloved protector that my beloved faction prepared for me! Come on, give your little Laka a hug!"
Boom!
In the next second, after Laka tried to hug her, he was already lying on the ground. Krune and the others took a step back unconsciously. It was evident that this Phoenix isn't in a good mood.
"Good, good! You disappear for an entire year, and that's how you try to act. As if nothing happened at all! Very well, if I don't give you a lesson today, my name is not Alacanta."
Laka then looked at Krune's group with pleading eyes.
'Help me!'
It was not that the will wasn't there, but as soon as everyone looked at Alacanta's dark expression, no one dared to step forward.
Alacanta noticed the group as well and asked with a serious tone.
"Are you his friend?"
Hearing that, Laex immediately stepped forward.
"You are mistaken. We just happened to take the same teleport formation as Laka. We have never met before, I swear! All we did was to talk a bit before the teleport formation activated. Still, I could tell that this man is really shameless, so this sister has my total support if she wants to give him a lesson!"
Laka felt like crying! Where is their friendship? Haven't they been friends for years already? To think that he would be betrayed this easily.
Alacanta's expression smoothed, and she gave a brilliant smile.
"Oh, your words are to my liking. You guys can come with me then. It won't be long before I finish with this guy, and we can have a good talk."
Everyone nodded vigorously, not daring to go against her words.
Just like that, their first day towards the Holy Land started.
