Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 403 Back Into the Elemental Path



Slowly, Liriu started to crawl out of the Egg. Although it looked like a snake, it had a pair of black wings that, when stretched, were almost as big as the body. It was hard to tell if the body had scales or feathers, though. They did look like feathers but gave the feeling of being as resistant as scales. Still, they were quite beautiful.

Tiane extended her hand close to him. Liriu then used his tongue to check the surroundings and felt like something familiar was close. Not long after, he started to coil around Tiane's arm and suddenly fell asleep.

Krune couldn't help but laugh.

"He only took a second to sleep. There is no doubt that he is Ruik's kid. Hahahaha!"

The others couldn't hold themselves and laughed as well. Indeed, that was a very Ruik-like action.

Ruik, of course, rebuked back.

"Hmph! What is wrong with it? He might even comprehend the Dream Laws faster than your grandfather here. He is doing the right thing."

Tiane slapped Ruik's backhead and said.

"Stop talking nonsense and help me clean your child. He is all sticky now that he came out of the Egg. Be careful to not wake him up, it is obvious that Liriu is very tired."

Krune then looked at the broken Eggshell and took a piece on his hand. He tried to break it further, and the piece broke in half. Still, Krune felt shocked when he did that. Ruik noticed Krune's action and asked.

"What is it?"

Krune took another piece of Liriu's broken Egg and passed it to Ruik.

"Try to break it."

Ruik looked confused at Krune but did as he was told. Still, after breaking it, he was also taken aback.

"This... just how strong was this eggshell?"

Krune nodded.

"I thought it weird that Liriu, who was in the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, did not break out the Eggshell straight away. Considering the resilience of these eggshell pieces, even an ordinary 1st Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator or demon beast would find it hard to breakthrough. Your kid... is quite strong."

The others were also surprised by what Krune said and grabbed a piece of the Eggshell each. Sure enough, they all confirmed that they had to use more strength than a common 9th Stage Qi Condensation could. Liriu was just in the middle of being born and didn't know about anything. However, with his strength alone, he was still able to break out of the Egg.

Ruik and Tiane, of course, became very happy after hearing that.

"Haha! As expected of the Great Ruik's child. So young yet so strong!"

Krune glance at him and shrugged his shoulders.

"Said the Double-Headed Snake, who definitely didn't have this kind of power when he was in the 1st Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Once again, everyone laughed out loud.

Ruik, on the other hand, couldn't help but ask.

"You are doing all of this on purpose, right?"

Krune nodded.

"I still haven't forgotten your 'Praise, Praise.'"

Ruik was reminded of the comment he did when Krune's first Purple Flame Sword destroyed the Formation in the testing field.

"Oh, that one. Then I guess it was worth it."

Tiane, who already started to Clean the Quetzalcoatl, rebuked Ruik.

"Are you going to help or not?"

Ruik came back to himself and immediately went over.

Since everything seemed fine, the group decided that they would be leaving a week later. Tiane also prepared a pocket dimensional realm box just to keep Liriu inside. Still, Liriu spent most of his time coiled around Tiane or Ruik's shoulders. Also, he wasn't really the sleeping type. Most of his time, he was awakened, looking around with curiosity. If one looked at the sleeping time alone, Fie could be said to sleep a lot more than Liriu.

Because he is a demon beast at the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, Liriu already had sentience. Of course, that didn't mean that he could already communicate. Those kinds of things need to be learned with time, just like any newborn baby.

Tiane and Ruik also confirmed that Liriu was just like Fie. He had the Elemental Energy Meridians. But there were no such things as Flesh and Blood ones.

A few days later, Tiane and Feifei put them together to see what would happen. Of course, with Tiane and Especially Feifei's cultivation, neither side would have the chance to do something wrong with the other. But for some reason, they looked they knew each other. Liriu came close and coiled around Fie, who touched his head back. Liriu ended flapping his wings as if answering the action.

Feifei looked at that and commented.

"Could it be something about the Inherited Elemental Meridians? I thought that since Liriu was still young, he would attack anything that he wasn't familiar with by instinct."

Tiane agreed with her.

"I thought so too. Well, I guess it is a good thing that they get along."

Soon, the remaining week was over, and everyone gathered at Cinty's house.

Krune also asked Laex to stay since it wasn't something related to him. Laex, of course, didn't mind. Krune is paying him by time, so wherever he goes or stays, that will depend on whether Krune wishes it or not.

To be safe, Liriu and Fie were sent back into the Pocket Dimensional Realm Boxes too.

Krune looked at the group and asked.

"Is everyone ready?"

They all nodded. Krune then took out the Token that Karine had given him before and put his Spiritual Energy inside. Suddenly, the token started to shine, and the Laws of Space began to gather around it. Krune and Cinty, of course, immediately felt that. A few moments later, a Spatial Gate appeared right in from of everyone.

Krune also returned to his Wisp Form so that he would be ready for anything. Tiane, Ruik, and Xankruan did the same. The majority of Demon beasts are stronger in their true forms, after all.

"Let's go!"

With flashes of Silver Light, everyone disappeared inside.

Elemental Path Dimensional Realm, Inside the Yang Hall. Suddenly, Space laws started to gather, and a Spatial Gate appeared right after. From inside, Krune and his group came out one after another.

Feifei looked around and commented.

"It's the place where we talked with Karine the last time."

Suddenly, everyone heard a voice around them.

"Oh, you are back already? You were faster than I thought."

Karine's human form projection appeared once more. Cinty, of course, immediately recognized her.

"H-Hi, I-I'm Cinty, this generation Wisp Queen."

She could barely speak straight in front of one of her idols.

Karine looked at Cinty and smiled.

"A Blackhole Divine Soul, Xiun will be happy if he sees you."

Cinty was taken aback.

"Wally's Blackhole Wisp Disciple, Xiun?!"

Karine couldn't help but laugh.

"It's great to see that the Wisp World hasn't forgotten about us yet."

She then took a look at Krune and was surprised by what she saw.

"Already in the 2nd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm? And your fiance there is even in the 4th. Isn't your cultivation speeds way too fast?"

Suddenly, Karine's surprised expression changed into one of utter disbelief.

"That! Did you perhaps betray Krune and became a mother with another man?"

Sure enough, Karine immediately noticed the changes in Feifei's body due to her previous pregnancy.

As for Feifei and Krune, they couldn't even feel angry anymore. It felt like everyone who knew them a little would first think about Feifei betraying Krune and having a child with someone else. That's just how difficult to be born a hybrid between wisps and humans were considered.

Still, Feifei knew that seeing is believing. She didn't feel any danger around after passing through the Spatial Gate either. Not to mention that Fie is not a Heavenly Fragment Owner and had shallow cultivation. Because of that, Feifei was able to pry inside her short term future without problems. Thanks to that, she was sure that nothing bad would happen to Fie at least.

A second later, a little baby girl with a rainbow-like hair and eyes appeared on Feifei's arms. Feifei checked for a second and then released her. Sure enough, Fie started to float right there and then.

Since Krune is in his wisp body as well, the resemblance of his Rainbow Wisp Body and Fie's Rainbow features was obvious.

Karine couldn't hold her excitement anymore.

"Hahaha! I can't believe you two really had a child. Just how many times you tried after you left this place?"

Feifei grabbed Fie and sent her back into the Pocket Dimensional Realm Box.

"Believe it or not, it was just a single time."

Karine was taken aback once again.

"Did you two save several Universes in your past lives, perhaps? Otherwise, what is up with this heaven-defying luck of yours?"

Just like before, Karine seemed to be quite an easy-going wisp.

"Even if that is the case, I'm more than happy to use all that accumulated luck on this."

Karine nodded and then looked at the others.

"Oh, everyone here is cultivating the Myriad Energies Technique. But it seems that only Krune has the main type. I can also see that you used a lot of Elemental Path Stones to increase your Spiritual Energy conversion to Elemental Source Energy. That was a very good idea, I have to say."

She returned her attention to Krune and asked.

Anyway, you kept your promise and came back after entering the Soul Forging Realm. So, shall we start?"

Krune looked at Karine, puzzled.

"Start what?"

Karine smiled.

"Isn't that obvious? It's time for you to learn the 4th Stage of the Myriad Energies Technique."
