Lila nodded, not minding too much.
"Anyway, stay here for the next few days while we do some more tests. If nothing happens in the end, I'll deliver you two back to the Sky Shifting Sect, or you can stay with my Kalame Sect as well. I can guarantee that the resources, missions, and the treatment here will be even better than there."
Krune and Iem shook their heads in response.
"Sect Master Franlia had helped us a lot in the past. Besides, she already provides us with more resources than we need. We want to stay there to properly pay the favor."
Lila sighed after hearing that.
'Well, they will be staying in the Sky Shifting Sect anyway. It will be easier to track them down if necessary.'
As mentioned before, the Sky Shifting Sect was located in the same Solar System as the Kalame Sect. In the point of view of a Nascent God cultivator like Lila, one might say that the Sky Shifting Sect was her neighbor.
After that, Lila, Krune, Iem, and Zuitou spent the next few days testing the Floating Dark Water Globe nonstop. Unfortunately, there was simply no reaction. At the moment, the only thing that they could use it for was for localization. Lila tried to go as far as possible, using her Spatial Abilities. But even though she had gone several galaxies away, the Dark Water she brought with her still slowly moved in the main body of water's direction. They even set up a concealing formation around the thing. Still, it was useless against the connection between the two dark water bodies.
Of course, Krune knew the reason for that. This thing was related to Mental Energy. Concealing Formations never had any effect on his Mental Energy. Naturally, it was useless against the Dark Water.
Still, they couldn't figure out why the Chamber even opened in the first place. Lila had verified Vorin several times, but there was simply nothing wrong with him. That being said, there shouldn't have been a reason for the Chamber to entirely open anyway.
'Perhaps the condition for its opening was for someone to enter it.'
She thought...
Finally, Lila and everyone else gave up trying. Unless they could find another use for it, this was just some strange water. As for Krune and his Dark Water, he decided to bring it back to Heavin in the Mortal Realm for testing. No one knew more about Mental Energy than him, after all. He might even have some uses for it.
On the next day, Zuitou had personally brought Krune and Iem back to the Sky Shifting Sect. Franlia was there to receive him as well. After all, Zuitou was a Nascent God Realm cultivator and the Kalame Sect Master. However, she was quite intrigued by his behavior. He was acting a little... too polite. Obviously, Krune and Iem had something to do with it. She even thought that they might have used that ridiculous powerful demon beast to threaten them.
After talking for some time, Zuitou left, leaving Franlia with Krune and Iem.
"So... how did things go?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders before saying.
"It was better than I expected. We got a few good things and even nurtured a good relationship with Kalame Sect's Ancestor. All in all, it was good."
Franlia was shocked for a moment. She didn't even know that the Kalame Sect had an Ancestor hiding in there. Their Sect Master was already in the Nascent God Realm, so their Ancestor must be even stronger in that same Realm.
"You two keep bringing me surprises one after another. Oh well, I will not ask what it is that you did there. From the looks of it, the Kalame Sect wants to keep it a secret, and I'm not in the mood to make an enemy of them. All I need to know is if it will impact my Sky Shifting Sect in any way or not?"
Iem pondered a bit and nodded.
"Well, if by 'impact' you mean getting an ally if things go south, then yes. I believe that if I ask them to give your Sky Shifting Sect some help in a complicated situation in the future, they probably will do it."
Franlia's interest was immediately piqued.
"Why?"
"Well, let's just say that they also want me and Krune to owe them some favors."
Franlia wasn't very satisfied with that ambiguous answer. Still, if what Iem said was true, then it was a good outcome nonetheless.
"Sigh... fine. As long as you are okay, then my sect hasn't let down the help you gave it."
Krune then asked something else.
"What about the problem with the Demon Beast's Dimensional Realm?"
Franlia understood what Krune meant.
"During the time you were out, we did receive quite a few visits related to the Demon Beast's Dimensional Realm. However, Nascent God Powers were not included in between them. Most of the visits were done by the Sects or other organizations of our own planet. However, because of our alliance with Flower River and Three Peaks' Sects, none of them tried to be too forceful. At the moment, we are quite safe. After all, it is not like their own sides don't have their own secrets. It's as simple as that."
That was a relief for Iem and Krune. At least, that meant the others didn't pay attention to how the Dimensional Realm was open or maybe didn't even notice it.
After that, Krune and Iem talked with Franlia for some time longer. At some point, Tulike also appeared there. His cultivation had improved by three stages since two years ago, showing that he took Iem and Krune's advice to adventure outside.
Finally, they bid their farewells and left the sect together.
On their way back to the city, Krune couldn't help but comment.
"See? In the end, there was nothing wrong with my breakthrough! Not only that, but we even got quite a few good things. I don't know much about this Dark Water, but these Golden Metal Cubes are more than worth it already."
Iem's mouth twitched.
"Nothing wrong your head! If Harold and Luvile didn't come out to pretend to be Gods of the God Realm, what do you think they would do to us? Or worse. What if Lila didn't believe in them? I'll tell you what would happen. We would be locked down straight away. They would try to get Luvile and Harold's power away from us. Last but not least, we would have been killed to keep the Chamber's secret. This was by far the worst calamity you had ever brought upon us!"
Luvile and Harold mentally nodded inside Krune and Iem's foundations. They couldn't have agreed more with Iem's words.
Krune scratched his head while looking away.
"Well, at least the rewards were on pair with the risks. I'm looking forward to the day I make my breakthrough into the Mortal Rejection Realm. It's reassuring to know that you will be there too."
Iem felt a chill on his back after hearing that. However, Krune's condition to pass his Myriad Energies Technique to Iem was precisely that. For Iem to be with him when he went to make a Breakthrough. Iem began to wonder whether that had been the right choice or not. The Myriad Energies Technique was really, really good. But was it good enough to follow this walking calamity? He wasn't sure.
"Sigh... whatever. I'm going back to the Alchemy Guild. I'm still quite far from being able to match my skills to my cultivation level."
Krune nodded.
"I'm going back to my restaurant. It will be only a single more year before Zule's Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher finishes charging. I don't want to go out anymore during this time. Instead, I will properly train Jilin and Nina as Spiritual Chefs so that they can work on their own once I'm gone.
Iem nodded as he said.
"Suit yourself. I'll appear there now and then to eat for free, so be sure to have your best dishes ready."
Krune felt helpless with Iem's shamelessness. Still, he liked to cook anyway, so he didn't mind. Soon after, the two of them separated once more.
Not too long after, Krune arrived back in his restaurant. His initial plan was to use the remaining five years to help Nina and Jilin, but the thing with the Kalame Sect cut two years out of it. He decided that he would make up for that time during the last year while cultivating.
It was midday, so his restaurant was already open with quite a lot of customers inside. That vision always made him happy. A lot of people and beasts means that his disciples' dishes were successful. He quickly entered through the front door just for everyone to go on an uproar.
"Oh! Chef Krune, you are finally back!"
"Chef Krune, why did you disappear for two years? Well, whatever. I want Seraan Python Soup. Only you know how to make it the way I like."
"Hey, you arrived here after me, so go back into the queue. Chef Krune, two plates of Dark Blood Tortoise Meat, please!"
Krune laughed as he approached the counter. Bai, as always, was taking care of the cashier.
"Welcome back, Chef Krune. You really like to disappear a lot, don't you?"
Krune scratched the back of his head helplessly. It was not like he wanted that to happen. Things just came in his way, things that he had no control over.
"Hehe... Anyway, I'm in a good mood now that I'm back. Grab everyone's orders. I'm going to make everyone's dishes."
Soon after, Krune entered the kitchen to meet Jilin and Nina once more. However, he was surprised to see a new face working there. He didn't remember having contacted anyone else, after all.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Lila nodded, not minding too much.
"Anyway, stay here for the next few days while we do some more tests. If nothing happens in the end, I'll deliver you two back to the Sky Shifting Sect, or you can stay with my Kalame Sect as well. I can guarantee that the resources, missions, and the treatment here will be even better than there."
