Is that a Wisp? Chapter 158 He Survived to Tell the Story

Shinja couldn't help but ask.

"How did you make it work only on wisps?"

Krune heard that and shook his head.

"This is a secret, it's not that I don't trust you and the others, but I prefer to keep this information to myself. Although I don't think soone would be able to find the true form after acquiring this information, I prefer not to take the risk."

Shinja nodded and agreed that it was for the best. As long as only Krune knows how it works, it will be safer for him and the wisps too.

This ti, Lakin was the one to ask.

"But Master, if wisps start to cultivate now, wouldn't it bring even more danger to them? After all, they would start to have even more energy, which would bring even more hunters after them."

Krune heard that and started to laugh out loud.

"Do you know why the new version is slightly worse than the new one?"

Lakin and everyone else shook their heads. Krune didn't mind and told them.

"That's because it changes the very structure of the Spiritual Energy of the wisps. As you know, the Spiritual Energy ridians convert the outside energy into the energy that is compatible with the user. But in fact, it can also convert the users' own Spiritual Energy to sothing else! This will not change anything for the wisps themselves, they won't get slower, faster, stronger, weaker, more talented, or worse talented. Simply put, it has no aning for the wisps."

Lakin and the others were amazed.

"How is that possible?"

Krune smiled and said.

"In fact, this was the easiest part to create. Do you know why all the races prefer to use wisps' energy for cultivation? That is because their energy is a lot easier to convert and much faster to absorb than Demon Cores, Dantians, and Spirit Stones. If not for the impurities that profoundly affect one's foundation, wisps could very well be considered the best cultivation resource in the universe!"

"But it is exactly this easily convertible energy that makes it possible for to use the new technique to alter it. By the ti that the wisp finishes creating the nine Pseudo Energy ridians, their own energy will not be a common wisp's energy anymore."

Suddenly, Dier's eyes lit up! Dier was the wisp who entered the Foundation Establishnt with a Tree as Foundation.

"Ancestor, I think I understand already."

Krune smiled and waited for Dier to talk.

"If I'm not wrong, the conversion of Spiritual Energy that Ancestor is talking about is the sa that the other races do. When the other races convert the Spiritual Energy for their own use, that energy will enter their Cores or Dantians. Everyone can use Dantians and Demon Cores to cultivate. Still, the difficulty of conversion and absorption between them and wisps is like the difference between heaven and earth. It is not even worth ntioning."

Krune's eyes lit up and said.

"Bravo! Well done, Dier!"

But the others still didn't understand what Dier was talking about. Krune then looked at everyone and said.

"Wait for it, I'm confident that Dier can explain the rest."

Dier was feeling embarrassed with Krune's praises and everyone's eyes on him. Still, he continued to explain.

"Well, what I ant is that after the wisp's energy finishes its conversion at the 9th Pseudo Energy ridian, it will beco the sa as Demon Cores and Dantians! It will be a type of energy that has already been converted and can't be absorbed easily anymore. Simply put, whether you use a wisp's core, a demon beast's core, or a dantian, it won't matter. They will all have the sa difficulty to be absorbed and converted!"

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

Krune couldn't help but applaud Dier's intelligence.

Finally, everyone understood just what kind of miracle Krune had achieved with the new Myriad Wisps Technique. Lakin was the one most affected by it since he imdiately recognized the effects of such a change.

"Amazing! With this, both Demon Beasts and Cultivators will lose their interest in any wisp with high cultivation. After all, it is just the sa as killing any human or demon beast for their Dantians and Demon Cores. Considering that wisps are a lot rarer to find than demon beasts and humans, those two will definitely prefer to focus on the other. Wisps, Humans, and Demon Beasts will all have the sa standards!"

Krune nodded.

But it was then that Lakin thought about sothing.

"The only problem is that no one knows about it already, and even if they do, they can't be sure if the wisps they find on the way is a user of Master's technique or not. That ans that there will be a need for a lot of wisp sacrifices until stability is reached and the other races give up on them. They won't just believe it because we said that wisps aren't good for cultivation anymore either."

Krune sighed but still nodded.

"Yes, that is the only thing that cannot be avoided. In the end, this is all I can do for the wisps."

Suddenly, a man appeared beside Krune as if he was a ghost.

"Every single race in the universe that reached the top achieved it through a journey of fights and sacrifices. It just ans that this is the wisps' ti to start their journey too, and there is nothing wrong with that!"

Krune's heart almost stopped there. When he finally noticed who it was, his face imdiately changed to dark.

"You darn old geezer! Do you even know how to knock before entering soone's house?"

He was obviously none other than the Sect Master of the Divine Path Sect, Lucio Koffel! Lucio then showed a playful smile at Krune and said.

"I'm the Sect Master, so the entire sect is my ho. Obviously, I can enter anywhere I want! Especially my own disciple's house."

Krune's mouth twitched after hearing that, but he knows that it wasn't an important issue at the mont.

"How long have you been there?"

Lucio imdiately replied.

"Long enough to know that this Myriad Wisps Technique is nothing more than a worse version of the real thing. I can now understand how so many contestants of such a weak planet like Makui made it into my sect."

Everyone's hearts stopped for a second after what Lucio said that. Krune then took a deep breath and asked.

"So, are you going to force my technique out of them or ?"

Pow!

Krune didn't even see from where it ca, but his head was knocked by his Master out of nowhere.

"Hmph! Do you think that , your Master, would do such an idiot thing? Unless I want to destroy my own Dao Heart, there is no way that I would make such a shaless thing."

Krune couldn't help but comnt.

"Said the guy who likes to sneak inside the other's house."

Pow!

Krune head was once more smashed to the point that he even felt dizzy this ti.

Lucio then said.

"Enough with that. Like I was saying before, sacrifices are unavoidable when a certain race starts to rise in the ranks. There is nothing wrong with that either. In fact, it is because of those sacrifices that your future Wisp Race protectors will co start to appear."

He then put a serious face and comnted.

"My disciple, I can't help but say that your heart is too soft! One day, it will backlash, so you should change it as soon as possible."

Krune, on the other hand, didn't have the least bit of an intention to change.

"Out of the question. If I change the way that I am just because of what you said, would I still be in the end? I believe that everything I had achieved so far is thanks to who I am and what I've done, so I won't change! Even if I have to die because of it, I won't change!"

Lucio then shook his head, but deep inside, he was smiling.

'Such a strong will!'

Everyone else didn't know what to think about this Master-Disciple relationship, but it was already good enough that the Sect Master wouldn't pry further into the issue.

Lucio then looked at the Krune and the other wisps and said.

"Anyway, this is a good thing for your wisp race. It will probably take hundreds, if not thousands of years until your race gets a foothold in this universe. But that was the sa for everyone else, humans included, so there is no need to feel sad because of that."

He then paid attention to Krune and asked.

"By the way, it is already the next day, where is my barbecue?"

Krune didn't want anything else other than kick this guy out, but he knows that such a wish is impossible to realize. He then turned to another one of the Lizard Dragons' siblings and asked to call their brother and Kassius back.

"Wait there, old fart. I was already planning to make so food since Senior Kassius ca in today."

Lucio's mouth twitched a little

"Who is the old fart? I should let you know that considering my cultivation level, I am a very young and handso man."

Krune just shook his hands.

"Yes, yes, very handso. Now, wait for the food to be ready. Lofa, give so help here."

Lucio didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sigh, I should just find another disciple who knows how to respect his master."

Krune heard that, and his eyes imdiately lit up!

"Great! Let's go find soone else, I will help you! What about Yusa here? She's quite shaless, just perfect for soone like you."

Yusa heard that and almost fainted. Does Krune want to use her as a sacrifice now?

As for everyone else?

"Pss..."

They were doing their best to hold their laugh. Lucio is the Sect master, after all.

Lucio, obviously, noticed that.

"Hmph! Forget it, if I let you go, you will definitely tornt soone else, I couldn't possibly let you do that."

He then sat on the table and started to wait.

Not long after, Kassius ca back with the Lizard Dragons.

He noticed the new person in the room, but because of the beggar like appearance, he didn't recognize who it is. In the end, he thought that he is one of the nial disciples. After all, the Sect Master's way of dressing isn't exactly comndable.

Krune noticed that Kassius was back and asked him to sit to eat with them. Kassius wasn't in a hurry anyway, so he accepted. He then sat beside the Sect Master and took a bottle of wine out of his spatial ring.

"Hey there, brother. Want so wine?"

Lucio didn't mind and accepted a glass. Noticing that this 'disciple' was quite friendly, he comnted.

"By the way, brother. You should dress better since, at the mont, you look more like a beggar. We are in the Divine Path Sect, after all. Your face might not be that much, but a good set of clothes can transform a man just as much as a woman."

Lucio almost vomited blood this ti.

"Your face isn't that much! Your entire family's faces aren't that much!"

Kassius didn't mind the comnt, though. As for everyone else, they couldn't help but ntally praise Kassius' guts!

After that, Krune and Lofa served the food once more, and everyone ate and chatted. When they finished, the Sect master finally left.

Kassius noticed that the 'nial disciple' who was beside him until now disappeared, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Where did he go?"

Krune then said.

"Ignore him, my Master likes to have free als and disappear right after, I decided that I will ignore it too."

Kassius then nodded.

"Oh, I see, your Master."

For a second, Kassius didn't mind Krune's words that much. But suddenly, cold sweat started to appear all over his body.

"Your Master? Krune's Master? The Divine Path Sect's Sect Master? That Master?"

Krune gave a side glance to Kassius and asked.

"Who else would it be other than that old geezer?"

Kassius heard that and... passed out.

Today, Kassius entered to history! He was the first Divine Soul Realm cultivator to say that the Sect Master of the Divine Path Sect is ugly right on his face and survived to tell the story.
