Krune decided to wait until he finds Feifei again. Laex had the same idea, but because of Liriu instead. With Laex and Krune, there wouldn't be many participants on this floor that could put them in danger.
Time passed, and another six months went by. Feifei, who was already on the 8th floor before, was now on the 9th. Her cultivation also continued to grow steadily, achieving now the 6th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm. It has already been 3 months since she stepped in this floor, so she had got used to the Godly Energy. That being said, she moved to the next Light Pilar.
However, Feifei wasn't the only one. Wamie Zarks had also arrived on the 9th floor. Other than that, Wamie's cultivation was the same as Feifei, being in the 6th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm. It's just that she only had a single Heavenly Fragment, different from Feifei, who had three. If not for the fact that her cultivation was higher than Feifei to start with, Feifei would have passed her. In combat power alone, Feifei would definitely have the advantage. She has been using the Elemental Meridians for much longer, after all.
Suddenly, Krune felt a presence and looked in a specific direction. The one he noticed wasn't Feifei, but Wamie instead. In the end, Wamie arrived on the 10th before Feifei. As for her Godly Energy Control test, she was able to fill up 77% of the Orb, making it into the top 20.
Krune didn't leave his place, though. Wamie would be coming to him regardless. After all, Gilia died on this Holy Land. Sure enough, Wamie arrived at Krune's location one week later. As soon as she saw him, she immediately inquired.
"You know about Gilia's death, right?"
Krune nodded.
"I felt her Soul Slive disappearing. From what I found out, she got herself involved in a battle for Godly Energy Stones. But this battle got bigger and bigger, more and more cultivators and demon beasts joined in it. She did acquire a Godly Stone, but it also made her the target. In the end, she gave up the Godly Stone and fled. Unfortunately, she was already poisoned, which brought her demise."
Wamie was taken aback. That was really a very specific explanation. A thought passed through her mind, and she narrowed her eyes before asking.
"You were there observing and didn't do anything?"
Krune shook his head.
"Fie, Little Arty, it is up to you."
Fie came out from the hiding place where Krune's group was staying, and her eyes lit up.
"Sister Wamie!"
Fie rushed forward and hugged Wamie tightly. Wamie was taken aback for a second but gave up in the end. Fie had grown up a lot, but she still liked her. Although she wasn't exactly in the mood, she still forced a smile while hugging her back.
"It's good to see you, but why do you look so tired?"
Fie was just about to complain about Little Arty again when the same began to float.
"Ah!"
Wamie jumped back in an instant. Even at her level, she simply couldn't feel his presence at all.
Little Arty didn't mind and then began to explain about Gilia's situation.
"Couldn't you do anything?"
"Even if I could, I wouldn't. I'm an Artifact Spirit, so my Master's orders were absolute. Don't misunderstand things. Your friend was not the only person to die in this Holy Land. Everyone who enters this place is well aware of the risks involved. Or could it be that you didn't?"
Wamie wanted to refute that, but she couldn't. She indeed knew what would be awaiting them here.
"Did you see who did that with Gilia?"
Little Arty sighed.
"I wasn't paying too much attention at that time. After all, I had to observe the entire Holy Land. If not because Fie asked me to keep an eye on her too, I wouldn't even have bothered. There were at least a hundred Demon beasts and Cultivators fighting for those Godly Energy Stones, which is very common on the lower floors when they appear. So I can't really tell which one was responsible."
Wamie expression went dim. However, she at least knew now how Gilia died. She can't get angry at Little Arty since she would be in the dark without him.
Little Arty then added.
"Life and Death are part of the cultivation path. If you don't get used to it, your path will become even harder in the future."
Wamie took a deep breath and nodded in the end. He knew all of that, but she still had the hope to seek revenge for Gilia. However, it would be impossible if there were so many cultivators and demon beasts involved. Even Little Arty didn't know all of them, so how could she?
Wamie then looked at Krune before saying.
"I will keep moving forward alone. I hope you don't mind it since I need to train as much as possible."
Krune nodded and didn't mind.
"That is the correct decision. Staying together will not be as challenging. With your cultivation and Laws, I have no doubt that you can at least keep yourself safe. Of course, that is not considering that you find some freak with a Heavenly Divine Soul. But in that case, even I might get helpless."
Wamie looked at Krune, and only now she noticed. Krune was quite behind her in cultivation when they entered the Holy Land. But now, he was the same as her, a 6th Stage Void breaking Realm! That was to be expected, though. With all his advantages, it would be weird if he was still behind. In the last six months, Krune broke through into the next stage and was making his way to the 7th.
Laex, who had been listening so far, came out as well.
"Shall we go then?"
Everyone nodded except for Wamie.
"I will be biding my farewell to you guys here. May we meet again at the end of the Holy Land."
Krune and Fie smiled.
"Okay."
Fie gave one last hug at Wamie, which much pleased her before they left.
On Feifei's side, she looked around to see where she should go from here. She knew that everyone would arrive in this 10th floor since it was a single Dimensional Realm, so she had to wait for Krune and Fie here.
"Considering Krune's position in the Light Pillars, he should be here already."
Feifei then took out a small piece of Krune's old Tribulation Shields that he used back in the Luvile Universe. Inside, the Power of the Purple Tribulation Lightning could be felt. Krune had made it so that Feifei could find him in case they got separated.
As soon as that appeared, a spark of Purple Lightning was released in a particular direction before disappearing. Seeing that, Feifei smiled. Sure enough, Krune was still on the 10th floor.
With both sides moving in the same direction, the initial two days of travel were instantly reduced to a single one.
However, a few hours after Feifei departed, she ended up catching someone's attention. Feifei always used her Destiny Major Divine Soul to find the best route. But it didn't work if the opponent's cultivation was much higher than hers. The 10th floor is the place where all cultivators and demon beast are gathering. Six months had already passed since Krune arrived here, so the number of them kept increasing.
That is to be expected. Since Krune knew that he could gather his group here, then so did others. So a lot of the cultivators and demon beasts did not advance to the 11th floor onwards. As time passed, these numbers only kept increasing.
"Hum...?"
A Divine Path Realm Demon Beast was traveling to the next Light Pillar when Feifei appeared inside his Divine Sense.
"6thg Stage of the Void Breaking Realm? For her to arrive on the 10th floor with such low cultivation, she is probably one of those geniuses."
The demon beast was a Scarlet Bear at the 3rd Stage of the Divine path Realm. This type of Demon Beast had a high concentration of Divine Beast Bloodline, the Sun Bear. So it was quite strong even without a Heavenly Fragment or a Major Divine Soul.
The Bear didn't attack Feifei straight away. Instead, it checked her with its Divine Sense for a while longer. Suddenly, its eyes lit up.
"She is blocking a lot of the Godly Energy of the 10th floor with her cultivation, this proves that she has just arrived here. Perhaps, she got a few Godly Stones from the Previous Light Pillar."
The Bear was right. Feifei has the Elemental Meridians, and she had it for much longer than Wamie. Thanks to that, she was able to fill the Godly Energy Orb up to 81%, putting her in the top 10!
"However, even if she has got Godly Energy Stones, she will need to go to the Light Pillar to retrieve it. Once the Godly Stones appear there, it won't be me who will end up with them. What to do?"
The Bear thought for a while longer when suddenly, Feifei's speed exploded forward.
"Shit, she noticed me. But how?"
The answer was simple, Mental Energy! Mental Energy could go much further in the Holy Land, so when the Bear got close enough, Feifei immediately noticed its presence.
"Fuck it! She might have some other Godly Stones. It's better if I catch her before anyone else appears."
The Bear didn't hold back anymore and dashed forward. Its race might not excel at speed, but its cultivation was much higher than Feifei's.
