Is that a Wisp?

"How did you become a wisp?" Feifei was flustered for a moment, realizing full well that Krune wished to hide his identity as a wisp.

"Oh shit!" In response, Krune was flabbergasted, not because he had turned into a wisp, but because of an entirely different reason. "Ah shit, here we go again."

Faint electric sparks flickered around his body as he could feel some changes in him, noticing that his body was now no different from when he had just started his journey of cultivation.

"I have 10 years left to live," Krune lamented. "They say history repeats. But this…fuck!"

Feifei also realized just what had happened, understanding everything immediately, "Layer 3 gave us active and passive abilities, allowing us to consume our stamina and wield it. Layer 2 increased our body weight, allowing everyone to complete our body cultivation methods. And Layer 1…"

She frowned, sighing as she continued, "It seems Layer 1 will fuse this into our physique, making it part of us while we cultivate from scratch once again. This way, it'll be fully integrated into us by the time we head into the God Realm. We won't experience any rejection from the Laws of the God Realm."

After all, body cultivation was entirely new, something that the Laws in the God Realm wouldn't be happy to accept. So, they have to be tempered into the world and make it accept the newfound laws.

And what best way to do that other than through tribulation lightning?

As they break through the stages, they'll trigger the tribulation lightning numerous times. This way, the body cultivation would fully integrate into them.

"But wait a minute." Feifei was alarmed as she hurriedly walked towards the edge of the island, gazing at her reflection in the pond, screaming, "I'm still the same. We aren't young."

She turned around, screaming as she pointed at Krune, "You no longer have 10 years. Four…at most three years. That's all you have since you've grown a lot older now. You're an old man!"

"Fuck!"

Realization hit them out of the blue, causing them to stagger as they began to sweat.

As Feifei sensed herself, she noticed that she was at the First Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, right at the very beginning of one's cultivation journey.

Krune, in his wisp form, was the same as well. So, if they wished to increase their lifespan, they had to reach Foundation Establishment. On top of that, time was even shorter this time. In fact, three years was just an estimate.

People in the God Realm lived regular lifespans. Only those at the Semi-God Realm and above were called immortals, those that lived almost infinite lives. But before that, their lifespans were no different from mortals.

The moment they appeared at the God Realm and acclimated to it, they became no different. From the day they arrived at the God Realm, more than 50 years had passed.

Suppose Krune could be considered to technically be in his twenties at the start, then his God Realm age was in the seventies. So, this meant that he didn't have much longer to live.

And now that he had turned into a wisp that had a natural lifespan of 10 years, taking that into account, it could very well be said that Krune only had a couple of years at most to reach Foundation Establishment and increase his lifespan by ten years.

"Wait, I don't even have any meridians now." Krune groaned, intending to activate Ocean Heart habitually when he realized that he wasn't able to anymore. To activate Ocean Heart, he had to rely on his heart that contained the passive ability.

But in his wisp body, he didn't have that. So, he couldn't rely on it to supplement himself. Surprisingly, as he worried about it, Krune laughed, consoling the worried Feifei as he told her, "Hey, it's not all that bad. Look, I can still use my active ability. It's something present in the entirety of myself, so I can use it even while I'm a wisp."

The Cloud Whale appeared as usual as Krune heaved a sigh in relief. With that, he wasn't as weak and helpless as his old self.

"Ahhh!" Right at this moment, Hazak's voice increased in pitch as its evolution completed. And right as that happened, Feifei slapped Krune, sending him flying away to prevent him from seeing Hazak naked.

After all, Hazak had chosen the feminine gender.

"This is too chaotic," Zamura muttered with a wry smile, appearing before Krune as he crouched on the ground, picking up Krune. "You should really stay like this. You'll make for the perfect pillow. Man, you're the best toy a child could ask for. If I have an absolutely cute daughter in the future, I'll gift wrap you to her. That's what brothers are for, right?"

"Screw you!" Krune said in irritation, intending to fly away when Zamura caught hold of him, laughing cheekily as he said, "I haven't seen a wisp all my life. Why don't you tell me more of your story?"

"Later. I have less than a couple of years to live in my current state," Krune replied in worry. "If I don't reach the Foundation Establishment Realm within that time, I'll die. The natural lifespan of wisps is only 10 years."

"I'll ensure you won't die until I get to hear your entire life story. I'm damn confident that it would be a thrilling experience." Zamura laughed.

"You can count me in on that as well." Zamuria arrived, ignoring Zamura as she looked at Krune. "I'm interested in your story as well. Unless I hear it, I won't allow any harm to befall you."

"I'll protect my lord with every essence of my being." Hazak, now wearing a set of clothes that Feifei and the Seamstress had hurriedly put together for her, replied, bowing in response.

"Hey, hey, hey. All of you are talking as if I have become weak. I'm still strong. I can use all my abilities through my active ability." The wisp retorted, flying into the comfortable arms of Feifei as he snuggled cozily, muttering in comfort, "That takes me back!"

'The moment he turned into a wisp, it's like his old self had returned. Hopefully, his bloodthirst from when he was a mortal would disappear thanks to this change,' she thought, silently hoping for it to be the case.
