Krune and Iem kept watching as Sisan made his breakthrough. Different from the other Divinity Realm cultivators outside, Sisan definitely had enough Godly Energy to use. After all, even if he doesn't use Top Quality Godly Energy Stones, he still has High-Quality Ones.
Of course, he decided to use the High-Quality ones in this case since the abundance in Fire Essence would be more than enough for his breakthrough. Not to mention that almost all Top Quality ones were in Jimage's hands.
Seeing that Sisan didn't seem to be having any problems, Krune and Iem returned to their Fire Essence collection.
"Too bad that without these special vials, Fire Essence can't be stored. Otherwise, we might have found an entire pool of it here."
Krune shook his head after hearing that.
"However, that was a good thing. It was because the essence was escaping outwards that the Chaotic Demon Flower could flourish. If that didn't happen, I wouldn't have descended further into the chasm to collect it. In that case, I wouldn't have noticed the Fire Essence Vein either. We should be happy that we were this lucky."
Iem nodded.
"Well, that's true. The good thing is that the Fire Essence that we are collecting here is as pure as the Wind Essence one Gavei gave us after winning the race. Still, it is only close to half as good as the God Realm ones."
"By the way, how long do we still have?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"It's okay. When we left the Green Talon Eagle Mountain, ten days had passed. We also used another five to get to Gotas City. As for the Chaotic Demon Flower trade, it took us another five days. Last, we already spent three days here collecting Fire Essence. So far, we have spent 23 days on the planet already. We still have another 17 days, thanks to the difference in time speed. If we use these 17 days to keep collecting Fire Essence, we should get at least 10 to 15 vials full of it."
Iem nodded with a satisfied expression. They also had the Bazuric Nectar, so their rewards will be plenty once they are out. Not to mention that they intend to keep some of the Fire Essence for themselves and use in cultivation.
Time continued to pass until suddenly, a burst of Godly Energy came out of Sisan's body. Right after, his cultivation began to increase at an alarming rate. Obviously, Sisan did not encounter any problems during his Divinity Realm breakthrough. Finally, the energy increase stopped as Sisan entered the 1st Stage of the Divinity Realm.
"Phew..."
Sisan then opened his eyes, which obviously showed how delighted he was.
"Hahaha! Finally, a perfect breakthrough. It was worth waiting all this time to enter the next realm."
Krune smiled at him before saying.
"That's good and all, but you should focus on stabilizing the Chaotic Energy inside your body first. Once you are done, you can help us with the Fire Essence collection."
Sisan laughed once more and nodded. He then calmed himself and began to do as Krune mentioned.
Just like that, another 5 days went by.
Far above, on the surface, the Chaotic Pathway was full of Mortal Rejection Realm and higher-level cultivators and demon beasts. The Celestial Sky Organization had already confirmed that Krune's group really entered this place. That being said, they closed all entrances.
However, they looked for them but didn't find anything. Afraid that Krune's group might escape, they also contacted the other three Celestial Organizations to help in the search. After all, the Chaotic Pathway restricts Divine Sense. Not to mention that the place was enormous! Obviously, the other Celestial Organizations came in a flash after opening several Spatial Gates.
Nonetheless, they still haven't found a single clue after 5 days went by. By now, it had already been 28 days since Krune's group entered their planet, so they began to think that they might have left already.
Eason, a Demon Beast at the God Core Realm of the Celestial Sky Organization, was in charge of half of their group. The other half was under the second God Core Realm cultivator.
"Haven't you found anything yet?"
Another demon beast at the God Foundation Realm beside him shook his head.
"No, sir. None of the Celestial Organizations found a single clue until now. However, the Chaotic Pathway is enormous. Even with the extra help of the other Celestial Organizations, it will take several more days before we finish verifying the full extension."
Eason narrowed his eyes. Even though they haven't verified everything yet, he doesn't believe that three Semi-Divinity Realm would have gone this far away.
"Keep our searching team in this area. Ask them to make a search close to the ground from now on. Something tells me that they are still around here. As for the other places, leave it to the other groups."
The subordinate quickly nodded his head and left. Eason then went to help with the search himself. He is at the God Core Realm, so even with the Divine Sense restriction in this area, his own is powerful enough to cover over a thousand kilometers.
Another three days went by just like that when suddenly, Eason received a Divine Sense message from one of his subordinates.
"High Elder, we found a tunnel leading deep into the ground!"
"What?! Did you enter it?"
"Not yet. We decided to tell you about it first."
"Good! I'm on my way. Don't get too close, or you might scare them."
Eason then used his full speed to arrive at the place. Finally, he understood why it took so long to find this tunnel. That's because the first 10km was closed. The tunnel only started after that distance. If he didn't give the order to make the search close to the ground, his subordinates would definitely not have found it.
Deep inside the cave, Krune, Iem, and Sisan didn't know anything. They kept collecting Fire Essence while cultivating with some of it. Abruptly, Harold and Luvile's voice entered Krune and Iem's minds.
"Not good! Someone found this place."
Both of them just noticed a powerful Divine Sense sweeping underground. Without a doubt, it was even stronger than the one they escaped from before.
"What?!"
*BAM!*
Suddenly, the entrance of the tunnel above was blasted away. At the same time, Krune's group felt an immense pressure locking on their bodies.
Krune ignored everything else at the moment.
"Zule, can you take us out?!"
However, Zule immediately answered.
"In your dreams! The guy is too close and strong. He will definitely stop the generation of the Spatial Gate."
Krune and Iem expression changed. However, there was nothing they could do at the moment. Just a bit later, Eason appeared inside the area with the Fire Essence Vein. He then looked at Krune, Iem, and Sisan.
"No wonder you didn't leave this place. You found a Fire Essence Vein all for yourselves. Obviously, you had no need to come out anymore."
Eason then pulled them together and removed their Spatial Rings using brute force. Krune, of course, got even more nervous. After all, Zule was inside Krune's one. However, Zule's voice entered Krune's mind a moment later.
"Don't worry, I hid together with your Heavenly Fragments. Not even god will find me here."
Krune was taken aback. He then verified his own Divine Soul just to see a miniature pyramid hovering around the other fused Heavenly Fragments Krune had.
'Since when he can do it?!'
However, that was a good thing for them.
"Great! At least we still have a chance at escaping. Too bad that he got the Space God Crystal and my Ownerless Heavenly Fragments, though."
Zule calmed Krune after hearing that too.
"Not, he didn't. I put them inside my own Spatial Pocket Dimension before hiding inside your Divine Soul. I also brought the majority of the Fire Essence Vials with me. Of course, I left a few inside the Spatial Ring so that he doesn't suspect anything."
Sure enough, Eason saw a lot of Godly Stones. Not only that, but there were also Spiritual Stones and other items from the Mortal Realm that Krune had kept with him. Still, the Top-Quality Godly Stones were mostly on Jimage's hands. Not to mention that Godly Stones were only important for the people and beasts outside the Celestial Organizations. For those who are inside, they were not that significant.
As for Sisan and Iem's Spatial Rings, Krune didn't know what was inside. Eason then put the Spatial Rings he obtained away and dashed outside the Fire Essence Vein area. After all, Elemental Essences could be easily obtained by the Celestial Organizations.
"Pass the message to everyone that the three of them were already captured. We are returning to the Celestial Sky Organization Headquarters."
Soon, the news about Krune's group capture spread in the Chaotic Pathway.
Eason quickly brought Krune, Iem, and Sisan out of there. Once he reached a place with stable space, he opened a Spatial Gate and entered it with them.
As one can imagine, they arrived in the Celestial Sky Organization in an instant. When Krune's group looked at it, they saw an enormous torrent of energy rushing into the skies and entering the Celestial Protection Formation. Clearly, that was because of one of the four Formation Cores that was present in this place.
"Welcome to the Celestial Sky Organization, outsiders. You can consider it your home until we get what we need from you."
Krune's group smiled bitterly.
'Indeed, they really found out about us.'
