Chapter 361: Investigation

Krune's group way back to the city was uneventful. Once they arrived there, Krune paid Laex the other half of the agreement.

"Great! With this, our contract is over. If it happens that you need a bodyguard again, let me know. Here's my communicator number."

Krune smiled and accepted that. The two of them bid their farewells and went their own ways.

Joiu stayed with the group, though. He had a few things that he still wanted to ask.

"So, can I start now?"

Krune nodded.

"Sure, I just don't know what I can and cannot answer."

Joiu nodded as well.

"First of all, who is that Wally that Mohie Zarks talked about?"

Krune pondered a bit and felt like it would be useless to hide this part. Wally is known by all the Great Powers, after all. Joiu would be able to find it if he contacted his background.

"Wally was the only wisp to ever reach the Divine Path Realm that we have a record about. He continued to cultivate until one day, he ascended..."

Krune then explained the part of the story that everyone knew. Of course, he left out the parts that shouldn't be known.

"To think that such a thing happened... But, aren't you a Heavenly Fragment Owner wisp as well? Does that mean you can also reach the Divine Path Realm? Maybe it is because of it that Mohie Zarks said that you have been guided here."

Krune shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Who knows? I indeed feel like it was too much of a coincidence to have stumbled on Mohie Zarks Inheritance, so it might be true that I'm being watched by him. But it is still too early to think about it since I'm only a Divine Soul Realm wisp."

Joiu nodded.

"What you plan to do about that Spatial Gate thing?"

"For now, I think it is a good idea to keep it a secret. If we are to divulge its existence, we might gather a lot of unwanted attention. Sure, we might be rewarded by the Dalin universe Management guys. Still, we also might be killed to not leave behind any information that such a thing ever existed."

Joiu felt a chill on his back. It would be a lie if he said that he didn't think about trading the Spatial Gate's information for a reward. But he had not thought about the point where he could be killed because of that as well.

"Cough, cough. Let's just pretend that it doesn't exist."

Krune smiled and agreed with him.

Joiu then asked several other questions, and Krune answered what he could. After that, they quickly brought out all the resources they gathered in the last Realm and shared them according to their previous agreement. In the end, they exchanged contact information, and Joiu left as well.

Krune also took that opportunity to bid farewell to Rarol and Tinnian. They had come just to participate in the Mohie Zarks Inheritance. Now that it is over, they had to go back to their world too.

Feifei looked at Krune and then said.

"We should go back to the Wisp World first. Because of what happened in that Dragon Ressurection fight, many cultivators and demon beasts already know that you are a wisp. The main issue is also the fact that Wisps with different colors mean that they have Major Cores. We better be far away before the information spread."

Krune and the others immediately nodded.

They took the closest Long Distance Teleport Formation and immediately started their Journey back.

In the end, it was just as Feifei predicted. Krune's prowess and information soon appeared in the Mission Hall beside many others. There were quite a few Cultivators and Demon beasts who recorded their time in the Dimensional Realm. Some of them were obvious together with Krune during that time they fought the Dragon Corpse. That fight immediately spread like wide fire. Especially because that was something that happened in a Mohie Clan Inheritance, which is usually famous to start with.

Fortunately for him and his group, every single one of them was using different appearances and names. So unless Krune decides to walk around in his true form, all the information would lead nowhere.

Still, the fact that Krune is a Major Core Wisp and that he is strong enough to jump several stages soon arrived at the Dalin Universe Management.

Alliance Solar System, Alliance Management Planet.

In a certain room in one of the tens of thousands of buildings in this place, a man was reading the information about Krune and his group.

"Another Major Divine Soul wisp, uh? Cinty is very close to the end of her Lifespan, so there is a big chance of this guy becoming the next Wisp King. Still, isn't this Purple Tribulation Lightning way too strong? He can jump an entire Realm to fight..."

The man tapped the table in front of him with his finger while thinking. Wisps related information had always been watched carefully because of Wally, after all.

"First of all, where did this Purple Tribulation Lightning came from? Is this Wisp from another Universe?"

The man then brought out his communicator and contacted someone.

"Check one thing for me. Look into the record of all wisps who came into the Dalin Universe in the last 20 years. Give special attention to the ones from 5 years ago to now."

He then turned off his communicator and kept looking at the recordings where Krune fought the cultivators at the entrance of the Mohie Zarks Inheritance and especially the Dragon's event.

Fortunately for Krune, the recordings available were only from those two times. After the battle against the Dragon, Krune's group separated from the others, and only Pala's group followed them. Still, no one in her team recorded anything, so there wasn't more information at the moment.

Soon, he received the information that he had requested.

"A total of 1356 wisps entered the Dalin Universe in the last 20 years, and only 239 in the past five. Most of them were basically following some of the cultivators and demon beasts and had very low cultivations. Not a single one of them was at the Core Formation Realm, either. Anyone that comes from another Universe will be marked with the cultivation monitoring, and the wisps are no exception."

The man once again took out his communicator and passed more orders.

"Check all the wisps and see if anyone of them has a rainbow-like color now. Also, check their cultivation and see if any of them match this Darten's description."

Three days later, he received all the information he had requested.

"873 of those wisps already died, mostly because of Lifespan. The ones who are still alive, not a single one is even close to reaching the Divine Soul Realm. That means that this Darten is a Wisp born in our Dalin Universe. Well, I already expected this much anyway. Still, Dalin Universe's Tribulation is a Fire one, so how did he get this Purple Tribulation Lightning? An inheritance, perhaps?"

Not even for a second had this person thought that Krune came in illegally. After all, there were no recordings of someone entering the Dalin Universe through other means during thousands of Chaos Cycles.

"Sigh... This thing about not being able to touch the Wisp Worlds is really annoying. It makes everything so hard to investigate. Oh well, for now, I will label this guy as the probable next Wisp King. Cinty's Lifespan should be running out in the next 20 or so years, so we will find about him very soon."

In the end, he passed orders to keep monitoring the Wisp Worlds and see if they can get any information about the new Major Core Wisp.

Back in the Wisps World, Krune and Feifei were reporting the things that happened in the Mohie Zarks Realm.

"So we can only use that Spatial Gate once, uh? That's unfortunate. If we had full access, we wouldn't need to rely on the Spatial Gates from the Alliance to send our wisps out."

Krune then asked.

"How many wisps with the Myriad Wisps Technique had left already?"

Cinty thought for a second and then said.

"We sent 21 in the first year, and until now, a total of 52 are already gone. Fortunately, they can't be branded with the Alliance Seals."

Krune nodded.

"I heard about that. It seems like it is not worth spending the resources to use the Alliance Seal on wisps, right?"

Cinty heard that and said.

"I'm not sure if that is really the reason. It might have been because of Wally as well. But the thing is that wisps really don't get the Alliance Seal."

Feifei, who had been hearing until now, decided to ask something that was bothering her.

"Cinty, we heard that everyone who is born in the Dalin Universe has their souls marked during the time they are passing from the underworld to their new body. It seems like it is to make sure that the Dalin Universe management can find out those who reach the Divine Path Realm. You were born in this Universe, doesn't it mean that you have the same thing?"

Cinty shook her head.

"Such information is really true, but Wisps are excluded from that. The reason is very simple, Wally intervened when they tried to do it. It was an event of many Chaos Cycles in the past, though. But since then, the Dalin Universe Management didn't dare to brand Wisps."

Krune nodded.

"As I thought. You didn't seem the least bit concerned when you found out that you had a chance at the Divine Path Realm. So I guessed that there was a reason for you to not care about this thing."

Krune and Feifei then exchanged a few more words with Cinty and left.

Feifei looked at Krune and asked.

"What you plan to do now?"

"For now, I have to practice alchemy and concoct a stronger Foundation Repairing Pill. Then I need to do something about my Soul as well."
