Is that a Wisp?

Another one who was close to his breakthrough at the moment was Dilo. After getting separated from Xankruan in the first level's Light Pillar, he also spent a lot of time looking for her. But in the end, he couldn't find his wife. Without another choice, he proceeded to the second Light Pillar. Only then did he find out that there were several dimensional realms for each level.

However, he also came to know that the 10th level and above only had a single Dimensional Realm each. That being said, he started to make his way up too. Dilo wasn't like Feifei or Krune, so he didn't get any Godly Stones. In fact, he lagged behind with most of cultivators and demon beasts.

He could have gone further ahead. After all, his Elemental Meridians allowed him to adapt faster to each level's Godly Energy. Still, he knew that Xankruan would probably be moving at the same pace as him, taking her time to cultivate properly, so he did the same. Thanks to that, he also didn't find many too strong cultivators and demon beasts. Those who could resist a higher amount of Godly Energy would have gone up by now.

Dilo had the chance to battle quite a few opponents at a similar level. Of course, not all of them were like that. He found a few that he could easily defeat. At the same time, there were others which he had no chance, so he had to flee. He passed through a few dangerous situations, but in the end, that is all that cultivation is about. Thanks to that, Dilo had gotten more than enough combat experience.

At the moment, he was looking for a safe place to make his breakthrough into the Void Breaking Realm in the Third Level. He knows about the safe zones, but with the number of participants who are usually there, who knows what could happen? He didn't want to risk, so he moved to somewhere more remote.

To do that, he purposely went in a different direction of the Godly Energy Flow, which led him further away from the Light Pillars. It is not like he wouldn't find anyone, but at least the chances were much smaller.

Dilo really knew Xankruan well. She was doing just like he thought, taking her time to cultivate well. By now, Xankuran was almost in the 7th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. Without Godly Stones, Dilo and her Cultivation can't reach Krune's speed. Even with them, they would still be somewhat slower. However, breaking through one level of the Soul Forging Realm every six months was already very fast.

Of course, Xankruan would still take a long time before reaching the Void Breaking Realm, probably no less than a year. But she didn't mind it, she never thought she was a genius or anything. For her, being in the Holy Land at the moment is already forcing her fortune too much.

In this one year of training, Fie had already broken through the Divine Soul Realm. Not only that, but she was already in the 3rd Stage. Of course, a large part of her accomplishments were thanks to Little Arty spartan education. She didn't lack Godly Energy, which was always regulated to her level, and combat experience, which was always provided by Little Arty. Although Fie didn't like to train this much every time, she got used to it after one entire year.

"Little Arty, how are father and mother doing?"

The artifact spirit's projection, Little Arty, appeared beside Feifei before showing her several images of Krune and Feifei.

"They seem to be doing well. Your father is about to break through into the Void Breaking Realm, while your mother already did so."

"Is there really no way to contact them?"

"There isn't. It goes against the rules left by my Master before he departed. The most I can do is send you into the Tenth Level, but you are far from reaching the level necessary to resist that place's Godly Energy."

Fie sighed and then got up once more.

"Alright, let's continue then. I want to check how my Lightning Laws are faring in battle. But after we are done, I want to choose my food again!"

Little Arty didn't mind.

"As long as you put the effort, it won't be a problem."

Poor Krune, obviously, would have even more food stolen from him in the future.

Liriu didn't have that perfect amount of Godly Energy, but he did have his Dracophoenix Body. Sure enough, it was several times stronger than Fie's. Thanks to that and his Elemental Meridians, his adaptability to the level's Godly Energies didn't lose to anyone. Especially after his bloodline seals were broken, bringing out his might as a Dracophoenix.

With Mian's protection and the fact that he stayed on the third level, he didn't encounter any dangers anymore. So after so long, he also broke through into the Divine Soul Realm. One must not forget that Liriu also got Godly Stones from his ranking in the Second Light Pillar, which helped him a lot.

By now, he was already in the 2nd Stage. Still one Stage below Fie's, though.

However, the Godly Energy in the third level was starting to not be enough for Liriu anymore. If he continued in this place for too long, his cultivation would begin to lag behind. Liriu knew that, but going up another level with his cultivation Realm was also too dangerous. After all, Mian would most likely be sent to a completely different Dimensional Realm of the fourth level.

"Sigh... Mian, what do you think about it?"

Mian, the Jade Turtle, bowed to Liriu before answering.

"Master, Mian believes that you should stay here. Master's cultivation is too low, and Mian won't be able to protect you. Unless Master takes control of another Dragon or Dragon Related race demon beast, Master will most likely die there."

Liriu shook his head.

"I don't want to rob others from their free will. I don't know if it is possible, but I also plan to let you go at some point. So unless extremely necessary, I won't do such a thing. Dad, mom, and uncle Laex would definitely be sad if I did it."

Even though Liriu said that much, there wasn't a single ripple of emotion on Mian's face. She really didn't care at all with what would happen to her. It was as if she had turned into a puppet, with no feelings what so ever. Liriu is already 12 years old this year, so he could more or less understand what was happening to her. Such a level of control over one's mind really frightened Liriu. This was one more reason why he didn't want to use his Dracophoenix power.

It was then that Liriu thought about another thing.

"Mian, you sparred with me several times to help me gain some combat experience. Although these could not be considered Life and Death situations, they helped me a lot to understand my Bloodline Powers. Can you tell me how strong you think I am at the moment?"

Mian immediately nodded.

"Master's talent is the highest that Mian has seen in her entire life. Even the legacy disciples of my sect wouldn't compare to you. Your Fire Laws are advancing at a frightening pace, your body strength is several times my own when I was at your level. There are also your elements control and cultivation speed. If Master was paired with ordinary cultivators and demon beasts from outside the Holy Land, Mian believes that Master should be able to fight at the Soul Forging Realm 1st Stage. As for Divine Soul Realm, Mian finds it challenging to think about someone who can compare to you at the same level."

Liriu nodded.

"What about the cultivators and demon beasts of the Holy Land?"

Mian shook her head this time.

"It is hard to say. The Holy Land has loads of Divine Major Souls, Heavenly Fragments, and even quite a few Heavenly Divine Soul owners. There are also those with unique constitutions and others who are geniuses even though they don't have any of it. Not to mention the rare demon beast races that entered this time. Dragons, Phoenix, Kirins, Golden Crows, you name it. You will probably find their descendants here too."

Mian pondered a bit before continue.

"If I were to guess, I believe Master has the power to fight those between the 6th and 9th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. Of course, I'm leaving the Heavenly Divine Soul Owners out. After all, an entire year has passed, so there is no way Master will encounter one of them in the Lower Levels anymore. In fact, even Heavenly Fragment Owners will be hard to find."

Liriu nodded before asking.

"What if I fought a Heavenly Divine Soul owner with the same cultivation as me?"

Mian shook her head again.

"Master doesn't need to think about it. No Heavenly Divine Soul would be under the Void Breaking Realm at this point. So it is useless to think about an impossibility."

"I know, but I'm still curious. What if there was one?"

"I can't say because I've never seen one of them fighting in my life."

Liriu nodded and remembered Laex and Laka's battle back in the Wisp Main World. However, their power was too high, so he couldn't make heads and tails of what was happening there.

"I've decided. Fie is probably cultivating very fast now, so I can't stay behind. Once I reach the 5th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, I'm going up!"
