"That was a pretty sweet deal." Seated on the Lawless Plains, Krune laughed as he fiddled with the treasure. "I only lost one clone. In return, I obtained this convenient treasure that saves me a lot of time."
The Cultivation Lotus in his subspace constantly emitted Godly Energy that Krune fed into his meridians, pouring it into the 36 Pearl Dimensional Relic. He focused on the first pearl, pouring Godly Energy into it constantly as he shuddered. "Just how far is this place? It has already absorbed ten times the Godly Energy I can hold at once, and it's still not even a quarter full."
Nevertheless, Krune continued to fill it up with Godly Energy. After all, whether it was Guria or the Rumria Continent, they were regular continents. If there had been any infant continents nearby, then his sect members would have known about it. After all, such information should have been common knowledge.
After all, an infant continent took countless millennia to finish forming. News of it would reach everyone around the place.
As they didn't know anything related to that, it was apparent that there weren't any infant continents in the surroundings of the three continents of Zamuria, Guria, and Rumria.
So, his best bet was to head towards a foreign continent and try his luck. Thankfully, there were a lot of locations marked on this treasure. Thanks to the Cultivation Lotus, he wasn't worried about a lack of Godly Energy.
After he constantly fed it Godly Energy for a good two days, Krune sighed in relief once the first pearl completely lit up, activating it as he anticipated what would happen next.
He could feel the spatial laws around him acting up before his body vanished from the place, arriving at a lushly decorated environment. There were vast pools of aromatic water around him, emitting a gentle steam while curtains of all colors had been used to decorate the place.
Cheerful giggles resounded everywhere as the scent of lavender filled the air.
The moment he appeared at the place, Krune instinctively placed the 36 Pearl Dimensional Relic in a spatial ring before chucking it into his subspace. He then tried to move the subspace towards the clone present in the Lawless Plains, frowning as he thought, 'It seems since the distance has been tremendous, it's taking almost a minute to send the subspace to the clone at the Lawless Plains. It seems when my cultivation base increases, the time it takes to shift my subspace over long distances would also reduce. I have to make a note of this point.'
Just as he finished concluding this point, Krune noticed that he was within one of the pools, immersed up to his hip.
Not only that, but there were more than a hundred eyes on him, staring at him in shock, surprise, fluster, and other similar emotions. Only now did Krune understand just where he had arrived, mentally cursing the entity that had recorded such a place.
It was a Royal Bath House!
Judging by the poshness of the place and the dense Godly Energy swirling around, it was apparent that the place was something meant for the wealthy, for the powerful.
All the women in the place screamed at the top of their lungs. Krune was alarmed at the start, intending to leave the place when he noticed that the women weren't actually in a fluster as indicated by their voice.
Rather, they seemed to be…having fun acting as typical girls?
After all, a casual probe was enough to note that most of them were at the Ninth Stage of the Nascent God Realm while the remainder were…immortals.
"Ara! How did a cute little fella like you come here?" Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind Krune, causing him to turn around in shock, for he hadn't even noticed the other party until she whispered in his ear.
It was apparent that her cultivation base was beyond what he could fathom, gazing at her face for a moment before he was stunned, as if enamored by her depthless eyes. Rather, within a second, Krune was alarmed when he could feel his Spiritual Incarnation… destabilizing.
"Alright, don't stare at me so intently. Big sister here feels shy," the lady said as she blushed, turning around as she faced another direction.
But all along, Krune wasn't focused on her beauty or anything the other women in the place were behaving. He was full of dread, for even though it seemed like everyone else was playing around, they had long since taken action, having covered him with their Divine Sense.
On top of that, they seemed to possess a mysterious power that was applied through their Divine Sense as he was unable to move, rooted to the spot in shock. In fact, when he tried to reply, he realized that he was unable to even open his mouth, now only able to stare at the lady before him in shock.
"Oh, I apologize. Since this wasn't something we had ever expected, we took action by instinct." The lady noticed his plight, waving her hand to free him as she introduced herself, "You can address me as Lady Strombisu."
Her eyes then gently arched into a smile as her words echoed like a heavenly flute, causing his knees to go weak. "Now, how do I address you, little boy?"
"K-Krune…" Krune replied instinctively when he noticed his voice was trembling. It wasn't fear that made him like this, but it was because his Spiritual Incarnation had destabilized to such an extent that he was having a hard time breathing.
He realized that his opponent only had to gently unleash her Land Incarnation to wholly annihilate him. In fact, there was a good chance all his clones would also suffer from the attack, despite the massive distance.
'Thankfully, I sent away the subspace early.' That was his only relief, unwilling for the Cultivation Lotus to fall into the hands of his opponent, who he was unable to judge whether was an ally or an enemy.
"So, Krune...is it?" The one addressed as Lady Strombisu laughed cheerfully when the subtle pressure she exerted caused Krune's body to melt as the tone of her voice subtly changed. "Now, this place is heavily protected by countless dimensional arrays to prevent anyone from coming here in the first place."
