With his Divine Sense Restricted, Krune spread his Mental Energy instead. Although it also had a limited range, it was able to see much further than his Divine Sense at the moment. However, be it Feifei or Fie, none of them were inside his field of view.
"Light Spirit!"
Luvile knew what Krune wanted.
"Alright, let me give a quick check."

Suddenly, Krune felt the Tribulation Lightning on the Purple Tribulation Lightning Source activate. It moved like an arc around Light Spirit's source for a few seconds and then stopped.
"This is not good, they are not in the same Dimensional Realm as you at the moment. This Holy Land has several levels, so Fie and Feifei were probably sent to some of the other ones."
Krune couldn't help but feel worried. Feifei had more than enough power to take care of herself, especially with her Destiny Major Divine Soul. But Fie was utterly different. She is only at the 5th Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Anyone in this place can kill her with a finger.
"However, I can still tell that the specs of Tribulation Lightning Essence in their bodies are fine, so both girls shouldn't be in danger. Anyway, there is no point in overthinking it at the moment. We can only move forward."
Krune took a deep breath and nodded. He always followed logic, so there would be no point in panicking now. Krune couldn't find anyone inside his Mental Energy Range, so he immediately departed. Still, there was one thing bothering him.
"The problem here is different. Even though I was sent to another Dimensional Realm, there is no doubt that Fie and Feifei were also sent to similar level ones. I doubt that there are entrances connecting them, which means that we can only hope to meet each other in higher ones. But how will Fie pass through everything on her own?"
Heavin answered.
"That conjecture is only valid if Fie is really alone. However, she might as well be with Feifei at the moment. After all, we don't know how many similar levels there are. Who knows? There might be only two to start with."
Light Spirit agreed with Heavin.
"He is correct. Besides, this is also an opportunity for you to train alone. You have been with Feifei for quite some time now, so you got a little too used to her Illusion of Destiny Domain. Take this chance to deal with things on your own."
Krune nodded and then put those thoughts behind. First, he has to reach the entrance of the next level.
Different from what Heavin replied, Fie wasn't together with Feifei. In fact, she wasn't together with anyone as far as she could see. Fie had never been alone before, so she obviously was feeling a little apprehensive.
What was weird is that there was nothing around her. Let alone other cultivators and demon beasts, she couldn't see any other type of life, not even plants. It was all a flat white land. Without anywhere else to go, Fie began to move forward while keeping her Divine Sense spread. Fie still didn't have the cultivation to reach the necessary level on the Soul Cultivation Technique that allowed others to use Mental Energy. So she could only rely on her Divine Sense, which couldn't spread more than a few hundred meters.
After walking for a few minutes, nothing happened. Fie had never been a calm child. She is Feifei's daughter, after all. She began to lose her patience quickly and finally decided to take flight. Her speed gradually increased until she finally flew as fast as possible while making sure not to deplete her Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy pool.
"There is nothing, just where is this place? Dad said that the Purple Tribulation Lightning essence could show the way to the friend inside his foundation. I tried it before, and it always worked. But now, it is completely still. It can't feel dad's friend's location at all."
Fie continued to fly while cultivating at the same time. Krune had long since passed her the Mind Splitting Technique, so she, too, could do several things simultaneously. This place also had Godly energy, and it was quite a lot more than the previous floor. However, Fie also has the Elemental Meridians, so she got used to it just like everyone else in their group.
After flying for an entire day, Fie began to feel really worried. There was no one, no life, no nothing—only the same white flat land. The only reason Fie could tell that she was moving forward was because of her communicator. Krune told her how he used it in the Mohie Sect Dimension back in the Luvile Universe together with Shinja, Ao, and Yusa. Fie could leave a marker behind, and the communicator would be able to show its direction.
Back then, when this Holy Land was built, things like electronic equipment didn't exist. Obviously, no countermeasures were prepared for them too. However, even this had a limit. The communicator on Fie's pulse could only reach so far with the markers. When she went out of the range, she had to put a new one.
Of course, compared to not having one, it is thousands of times better. At the very least, she knows that she isn't moving in circles.
Three days went by, and Fie could only tell that thanks to the clock in her communicator. But by now, she was holding herself to not cry. It doesn't matter how intelligent she is, Fie is still a kid. She is really scared at the moment with this never-changing scenario.
Suddenly, an ethereal voice appeared from everywhere.
"Child, how did you come up here?"
Fie was frightened for a second. She looked around but couldn't see anyone. The voice also seemed to have come from all directions.
"Who are you?"
The voice went silent for a moment before answering.
"I'm this Holy Land's Artifact Spirit."
"Artifact Spirit?"
Fie had never heard about it before, so she didn't know what this voice was talking about.
"Sigh... Anyway, how did you enter this place? No one should be able to step inside this origin realm."
Fie pondered a bit and then shook her head.
"I don't know. There was a big pillar of light, and then I fought ten demon beasts. After I beat them, I was teleported here."
In fact, the Artifact Spirit knew about Fie's presence the moment she entered this place. However, it didn't know if Fie had come here by herself or if someone sent her here on purpose. This Origin Realm in the backbone of the Holy Land. So, in theory, no one should be able to enter without the Artifact Spirit's consent. That obviously put it on his guard against Fie at first.
The Artifact Spirit thought about getting rid of Fie straight away. But because it was just a child, it couldn't bring himself to do so. At its level, it was simple to check her bone age and ascertain that it was definitely a child. It then began to observe Fie flying around. Due to its connection to this place, the Artifact Spirit could feel the fluctuations in Fie's emotions. It was just when Fie was about to cry that the Artifact Spirit finally convinced itself that she wasn't here for it.
"That's weird. Could it be that there is a flaw in the teleport formation? Although it is hard to believe, I can't think about another reason. I better recheck the Light Pillars' Teleport Formations later."
Fie didn't know what the voice was talking about. However, she was at least able to calm herself a little. What scared her the most was the fact that she couldn't see anyone anywhere.
"Artifact Spirit, is that your name?"
The Spirit was taken aback.
"Name? I don't have one, you can simply keep calling me Artifact Spirit."
Fie immediately shook her head.
"That won't do. It is too sad. What about Little Arty?"
Sure enough, Fie's sense for names is just as good as Krune. She simply used the existing one and simplified it. A very Krune-like way of doing things, it probably is in the DNA.
"Li-Little Arty...?"
Fie's eyes brightened while she nodded vigorously. Anyone could totally see the expectation on her face.
"This is quite..."
Suddenly, Fie's expression changed as if she would cry at any moment.
"Is it a bad name?"
Seeing that, the Artifact Spirit immediately changed his stance.
"Of course not! Little Arty is great! I love it! Yes! Definitely! You can totally trust me!"
Fie immediately showed a smile as bright as the sun, to the point that Little Arty felt it to be too shiny.
"Little Arty, do you know where are my father and mother?"
Little Arty pondered a bit and then asked.
"How do they look like?"
Fie thought about showing a few pictures from her communicator. But then she remembered that Krune and Feifei changed their appearances. In the end, she could only try to explain it as good as possible.
Little Arty is the Holy Land's Artifact Spirit. Everything that happens inside is under his control. That being said, it wasn't hard for him to find Krune and Feifei, who had been teleported to different places.
Suddenly, several images appeared around Fie, showing pictures from different angles of Krune and Feifei.
"Are these the correct ones?"
Fie immediately nodded, and tears started to fall from her eyes. After so many days alone in this strange land, she was finally able to see them again.
"Errr... why would you cry if they are the right ones?"
Fie then laughed while wiping the tears on her face.
"I'm just happy to see them again. Little Arty, can you send me to them?"
Little Arty sighed and then explained.
"I can, but not now. This place where we are is separated from the Holy Land's first levels as a safety measure. That's why I found it weird that you appeared here instead of going to the next levels. I can send you to a much higher level, though. But they won't be there for quite some time. Besides, the Godly Energy there is much stronger, so you won't be able to resist it with your body."
Fie nodded.
"Then I will train hard until I can resist that energy. When my Mother or Father arrives at the higher levels, you can send me there too. Is that okay?"
Little Arty agreed with her.
"Very well. I can control the flow of Spiritual and Godly Energy in this place. I can even help you with some formations for combat training. So it shouldn't be hard for you to increase your level in this place."
As the Holy Land's artifact spirit, it had a lot of power. In this place, no one could challenge. So changing Energy flows or providing a few simple formations is just too easy for Little Arty.
Fie showed a bright smile again and bowed.
"Thank you, Little Arty!"
Little Arty just laughed. Suddenly, small spheres of white light shined while showing a specific direction.
"Just follow those light balls, you will find a better place to spend your time."
Fie nodded and immediately flew away. Little Arty's presence also disappeared, making this land quiet once more.
However, it was at this moment that a projection of an old man appeared just where the two were talking. Surprisingly, not even Little Arty, the Holy Land's Artifact Spirit, knew about his existence.
"Little Arty, uh? What a funny name you got."
He then looked at the direction that Fie disappeared.
"Little girl, I'll leave him in your hands. 'Little Arty...' has been alone for too long already."
After that, the man's projection made a seal on the air with his hand and then disappeared. In fact, he didn't have much energy since he was just a will left behind countless years ago. Sending Fie here had spent the little much he had left. Now, he was really gone forever.
