In the end, no one told Krune what Luvile and Sentoi were talking about, so he could only give up. Well, one thing they were right, it probably wasn't something that he could help with at the moment.
Wally then looked at Krune before saying.
"Whether the Wisp Race can thrive or not will depend on you and that Wisp Queen efforts. I will not intervene, so just do as you wish. However, bring this with you."
Wally then passed a small rainbow-colored bead to Krune.
"If you find yourself in a problem caused by the higher realms, just put your Spiritual Energy inside. I will immediately help you to the best of my abilities. But only for this kind of case. For anything else, you will need to rely on yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Wisp Race will develop from now on."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"Is there really no way to save you?"
Wally laughed out loud after hearing that.
"It is true that I will die soon, but that is considering the total time I lived so far. Don't worry, my 'soon' is not the same as your 'soon.' I've been staying in a time slowing formation so far, so I will still stick around for quite some time. As for a method to save me... Well, if you succeed in ascending one day, we can talk about it."
Krune nodded. It seems like Wally will be around for quite a few thousands of years. He has lived for thousands of Chaos Cycles, so his concept of 'soon' is really different from Krune.
Heavin, however, thought it to be weird.
"If the method to save you is in the Higher Realms, why don't you ask Sentoi then?"
Sentoi and Wally looked at each other before laughing out loud.
"If just it was that simple. Hahaha! Anyway, you will know once you get up here."
Luvile pondered a bit as he looked at Wally.
'Could it be...'
But he shook his head and dissipated that Purple Lightning Body.
Krune then changed the topic.
"Senior Sentoi. Since you can see what is happening in the Holy Land, can you bring Fie to me?"
Sentoi immediately shook his head.
"I can't, as Luvile mentioned, I'm not here at the moment. Wally also doesn't have any authority over the Holy Land, so he can't help you either. The most I can do is observe. Anyway, you will be able to meet your daughter on the 10th level, so there is no need to be in a hurry."
Krune nodded before looking at Wally.
"What about the Myriad Energies Technique? You said that I was able to figure it out by myself. Does it mean that you wouldn't let anyone know about its true form if I didn't?
Wally pondered a bit before saying.
"Hum... How can I put it? I was making a bet."
Krune got puzzled.
"A bet?"
Wally nodded.
"Yes. I didn't want to be the one giving the technique away. I made it so that the first one to find the technique's true form would immediately alert me. That's how I found you. As for the bet, let's just say that I was waiting for someone worthy of it. If, by the end of my life, no one had figured it out, only then would I pass it down myself. Fortunately, this bet of mine was worth it. You are better than I could ever expect, and you even created a derivation, which is the Myriad Wisps Technique. So I have no complaints."
Krune didn't understand completely, but it seemed like it was imperative for Wally. As if it had to be this way.
Krune then talked with Wally for some time. Surprisingly, Wally didn't pass any technique or given Krune any equipment.
"You have no need for them. As you know, there is a limit to the quality of the equipment that one can use depending on their cultivation. However, you created something completely out of my expectations, your Purple Flame. Whatever you create that matches your own level will be much better than others without the Purple Flame. So there isn't much of a point of giving you anything. Besides, it's better to rely on yourself than others. That's how I did so far, and I believe you can do the same."
Krune felt a little embarrassed with all that trust. They had never really met each other before, so it was quite awkward.
The two of them conversed for a while longer before Krune asked.
"Oh, right! Why did we have to meet in this place? Couldn't you contact me somewhere else?"
Sentoi shook his head.
"Only in this place, no one will detect my presence. It's that simple."
Krune nodded. He already expected that it was something like that.
"I have one last question. When I entered the Void Breaking Realm, I got an Ascension Tribulation. Although it wasn't as strong as the Divinity Realm one, it was, without a doubt, an Ascension Tribulation. Do you guys have any idea why it happened?"
Be it Wally or Sentoi, they had seen when it happened. At that time, Wally got quite nervous, afraid that Krune would die there and then. Fortunately, Krune had managed to pass through it with Luvile's Help.
"To be honest, even we got surprised by that. I guess it had something to do with the Godly Energy since it is from the Higher Realms. However, we really don't know if it was really the case. That was the first time that Sentoi and I saw something like that."
Krune couldn't help but sigh. Even Wally didn't know the answer in the end.
"Well, let's just hope it won't happen after I leave the Holy Land."
Krune then noticed that he had been staying here for too long.
"Alright. Should I take my leave now?"
Wally and Sentoi nodded. Sentoi then waved his hand, and a teleport formation appeared beside the Hut.
"Just step on it, and you will be teleported to the 10th floor. The Holy Land will still be opened for a little less than 8 years, so use this chance well."
Krune was just about to do that when he remembered one last thing. He then sent Wally a Divine Sense message, which surprised Wally.
"Hahaha! Sure, when that time comes, I will be there with you. Such a thing had never happened before, so I'm very interested in seeing how it will turn out."
Krune nodded before moving to the teleport formation. Heavin also took flight and landed on his shoulders. However, before leaving, Sentoi and Wally asked one more thing to Krune.
"Oh, right! Keep our meeting a secret. Don't let anyone know about it, including your family and friends. I guess I don't need to tell you this, but no one can know about Wally's real condition. They must think that he is still okay and ready to fight at any time. I know you trust your family and friends, but caution is never enough."
Krune didn't mind. Even if they knew about this encounter, it is not like they could do anything anyway. Even he doesn't know what this encounter was really about. The only ones who made some kind of agreement were Luvile and Sentoi, that's all.
After a flash of silver light, Krune disappeared.
Wally then looked at Sentoi.
"Is it really okay to not tell him about those guys?"
Sentoi nodded.
"It's better for them to resolve it themselves. Besides, the cultivation path is filled with dangers, and this will not be the last one."
Wally nodded before disappearing completely. He returned to his own resting place, where he had the Time Slowing Formation.
After Wally was gone, Sentoi looked up and smiled.
"Little Arty, uh? Seems like the Will I left behind found quite a suitable brat for him."
Sentoi's projection also disappeared, and the Hut returned to its silence. Who knows how many years will be gone before anyone appears here again.
Back on Krune's side, he finally appeared in the 10th floor as he wished. As soon as he stepped out of the Teleport Formation, the Godly Energy assaulted him once more. However, something was different from what he expected.
"Eh? Isn't the difference between the 9th and 10th Floors too small?"
Light Spirit agreed with Krune.
"Indeed. Every time we went up a floor, the Godly Energy increased a lot. But this time, I can barely feel any difference from the 9th floor."
Obviously, Krune and Light Spirit didn't know about the transformation of the Holy Land. It was being prepared to be dragged inside Little Arty's Dimensional Godly Energy Sphere. Thus, the flow of Godly Energy was being affected on the 10th floor and higher ones.
"Well, you can move to higher floors much earlier if that is the case."
Krune immediately shook his head, though.
"No can do, I will at least wait for Feifei to arrive here. Besides, Sentoi said that I would meet Fie on the 10th floor as well. There is no way that I will go up now."
Luvile didn't mind it.
"Well, then let's just find a place to hide and start cultivating. It will still take a long time before Feifei arrives. In any case, I left a little my Purple Tribulation Lightning Essence with them, so I will notice when they appear here. Until that moment comes, we better use our time well."
Krune nodded and immediately departed.
On Little Arty's side, he finally found Krune once more.
"Ah! He finally reappeared! It seems like nothing happened to him, either."
Little Arty then pondered a bit.
'He went to this Floor Zero, but only spent a few hours there. What did Master create that floor for?'
In the end, Little Arty decided to put those thoughts behind. He trusted his old Master, so there was no need to overthink it.
Another month went by in a flash, and Fie finally got ready for her Soul Forging Realm Breakthrough.
