With that, their negotiation was done with. Luvile and Harold's bodies then returned to their previous forms before entering Krune and Iem's bodies once again. The pressure in the room then quickly disappeared, making everything go back to normal. Only then did Lila and Zuitou let out a sigh of relief. They felt like they were walking on the edge of a blade all the ti.
Lila then looked at Krune and Iem before showing a smile.
"I'm happy that your Masters are such reasonable cultivators. You don't need to worry. We will keep our side of the deal. As long as you open that chamber, the second and third picks are yours to take. Also, I can guarantee that not a single word will get out regarding this trade or whatever you got there. Of course, I hope that neither of you say anything about what you see there. After all, this is directly connected to the safety of our Kala Sect."
Iem and Krune didn't mind as they nodded.
"Don't worry. If we did that, you could spread the news about our masters. If that happens, we would be in bigger danger than your Sect is."
Lila agreed with them.
"Very well. If you don't have anything else to do, we can go to that chamber right away."
Krune and Iem looked at each other before looking back at Lila.
"It's okay. We have nothing else to do at the mont anyway."
Lila then looked at Zuitou before saying.
"You will co as well. As the sect master, you need to know what is in there. One day, I will ascend or die trying, so it will be your job to decide what to do with that place."
Zuitou nodded and looked at Latam.
"You can go back. If anyone asks anything, you know what to do."
"Yes, Sect Master."
After Latam left, Lila made a slashing movent with her hand in mid-air. That movent had then parted space in half, opening a Spatial Gate right after.
"Co with ."
As the Ancestor of the Kala Sect, Lila had access to all the sealed places. None of the Sect's Protection Formations would stop her from going anywhere she wanted. That being said, she connected that Spatial Gate directly to the place where the chamber was located.
Krune and Iem passed through it with Zuitou, appearing on the other side in just a second. Lila followed them from behind.
As soon as they appeared on the other side, Krune and Iem were taken aback. They were expecting sothing enormous, a giant building or sothing like that. However, it turned out that it was relatively small. No bigger than a standard room you'd find in a city of low-level cultivators. If you tried to fit several people inside, it wouldn't allow more than 15 people or so to squeeze in there.
Krune tried to use his Divine Sense to check it, but it was blocked. Of course, Krune already expected this. That being said, he switched to his ntal Energy scan. As a different power from Divine Sense, perhaps the chamber would not be able to block it. At least, Divine Sense blocking formations were not able to do so.
Unfortunately, he ca to understand that his ntal Energy couldn't go in either. However, it was not the formations on the chamber that blocked his ntal Energy, but the chamber materials instead. The thing that the room was made of seed to be immune to ntal Energy scans. Of course, that left Krune very surprised. That was the first ti he had encountered anything other than Godly Energy itself that could completely block ntal Energy. Well, there was Luvile and Harold's power too, but that probably had sothing to do with their Law Destroying or Eating properties.
That chamber shone with the color of gold. Also, Krune and Iem could tell just how many formations were present in this thing. The weird part was that although the formations seed to be working at full power, there was no Godly Energy entering it from outside.
Lila knew what Krune and Iem were thinking, so she explained.
"We tried to cut any access that it had to Godly Energy before and then attack it, trying to spend its energy. However, it didn't matter how many tis we attack. The formations and materials making up the whole thing didn't even budge. We finally reached the conclusion that whatever is generating Godly Energy to these formations must be inside."
Those words imdiately made Krune and Iem think about Kun-peng's Silver Core. That thing didn't need the outside world's Godly Energy. Instead, it created Godly Energy by itself. Of course, Luvile and Harold, who were inside their foundations, heard that as well.
'Don't overthink it. Did you forget Little Arty? He could provide you guys as much Godly Energy as you needed. However, he couldn't produce it himself. Instead, he was directly connected to the God Realm. Chances are that this is the sa case.'
After hearing that ssage, Krune and Iem nodded. That indeed made a lot more sense than finding Primordial Demon Beasts' cores at every corner they go.
Lila then looked at the chamber and back at the duo.
"Well, I'll leave it to you two now. However, be careful. This thing had never retaliated before. But we have never been able to inflict any damage to it either. Perhaps there is so formation in the middle that can counter-attack if it feels a threat. Of course, Zuitou and I will stay beside you 24/7, ready to act as soon as we feel anything strange."
Although Krune and Iem knew that she was talking the truth, they also knew it wasn't the whole reason. She probably was afraid of them trying to pull her leg while at it. They couldn't bla her since they would do the sa. Not to ntion that they really preferred that layer of protection.
"Alright, let's start."
Krune and Iem touched the chamber and imdiately summoned that Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flas. As always, Luvile's Power ate the laws while Harold's destroyed them. Just like that, ti began to pass.
Soon, three days went by in a flash. It turned out that the protection on the chamber was extrely powerful. Not only did it protect the chamber, but it also recovered itself from the damage. Fortunately, the sa power of self-healing was also based on the laws of the universe. So it couldn't show its full power with the Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flas in place. Nonetheless, Krune and Iem's three days of effort hadn't done anything else other than a tiny scratch on the surface. Let's not even ntion opening a hole to check what was inside.
Lila, on the other hand, seed delighted.
"Great! Although sowhat slow, it is evident that it is working. Are you two holding well with Godly Energy? If necessary, I can even arrange for Top Quality Godly Stones to be brought here. Although they are quite expensive, I don't mind prices at this point anymore."
Krune and Iem shook their head, saying.
"Don't worry. We are keeping a balance between energy expenditure and recovery. Besides, Godly Energy can't be instantly converted into our powers anyway. We need ti for the conversion."
Lila nodded, not minding it too much. She already waited this long anyway.
Ti continued to pass in a flash. At so point, Krune and Iem had to use their communicators to call Franlia back to tell her everything was fine. After all, they would probably spend a very long ti in this place.
Sure enough, the bigger the hole on the chamber wall, the slower the work beca. It's just that with a more significant gap, Krune and Iem had to spread Luvile and Harold's power more around it. Naturally, the law destroying and eating abilities had to be spread as well.
There was a good thing, though. Iem and Krune could still cultivate during it. It was not like their ti was being completely wasted in there.
Soon, days beca weeks, weeks beca months, but Krune and Iem's work continued. It was only three months after they initiated their job that they were finally able to open a tiny hole. Of course, it was way too small for them to be able to do anything at this point. However, it was more than enough to verify what was inside with their Divine Senses. In Krune's case, he decided to use ntal Energy instead.
Unfortunately, Lila and the other's Divine Sense couldn't sense anything inside. Not that it was empty, but that they felt like their Divine Senses fell into an abyss without end. It was a completely different sensation from when Divine Sense is used in outer space, though.
However, the mont Krune's ntal Energy Scan entered the chamber, he felt a jolt in his Soul. That jolt made Krune retrieve his ntal Energy almost instantly due to the pain it caused. If he had not been on his guard, he would probably have lost control over the Purple Tribulation Lightning as well.
Luvile noticed Krune's fluctuation and imdiately asked.
'Are you okay? Did you find anything?'
Krune answered.
'It was weird. I felt like my ntal Energy was being ripped apart. I didn't even know that damage could be caused through ntal Energy before. How can I say it... Oh! It's as if whatever is inside tried to eat my ntal Energy away.'
Luvile didn't know what to say about it. First of all, ntal Energy was sothing new for him. Probably, only Heavin would be able to co up with anything related to it.
