Is that a Wisp?

Krune knew why they wanted it. So it wasn't anything surprising. However, the only ones who know that Purple Flame Weapons don't work on him are his friends, the previous Yin and Yang fragment owners, and their subordinates from that time.

In fact, even if the cultivators and demon beasts knew that Krune's equipment can't be used against him, they don't know who he is. After all, he always operated under the name 'Jolk' in the Blacksmith Organization.

'Hum... I think I will make a few more after I finish everything on my side. I might encounter someone using them in the later parts of the Heavenly Competition.'

Krune then put those thoughts aside and began the forging of his Shields. It was better to have them finished first. This was also the first time Krune was making his own shields, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He had always heard the other Blacksmiths saying that the best equipments are the ones made by yourself.

Because Krune had to use the Elemental Forge Change technique, each Shield took a lot more time to be made. Krune spent almost an entire day for each. However, when Krune finished the first one and tried it out, he had to admit that he never felt so comfortable while using one of his Shields. Even the fact that it wasn't 100% compatible with Purple Tribulation Lightning didn't bother Krune much.

Every small detail was exactly as Krune desired. He also got Feifei's descriptions of the Formation that will be used on them, so he prepared the necessary space during the forging.

'I can't wait to have Feifei drawing the formations.'

Krune then put the first Diamond Shield away and began his work on the second one. Just like that, Krune spent over an entire month inside the Time Formation to finish all 38 that he is used to controlling.

"Phew... They are finally ready."

Krune took all of them and charged with energy. Without Feifei's energy transfer formation, he needs to do it directly. But it didn't matter since it was just a simple test.

The shields gathered while forming several forms. Every command worked perfectly as if they were a part of Krune's own body. Krune even felt it to be quite fun to move them around. That usual burden of controlling so many at the same time didn't appear at all.

"Great!"

After playing with them for some time, Krune finally exited the Time Formation. He then opened his communicator and sent Feifei a message, saying that the shields were ready. Feifei was also practicing her formations while inside a Time Formation as well. Krune didn't wait since he knew Feifei might be practicing. Once Feifei is ready, she will message him back or come at him directly.

Instead, Krune went to Heavin's Puppet Workshop. Arriving there, he noticed that the Phoenix Puppet was flying around. Although it had the shape of a Phoenix, the fact is that it wasn't as big. However, size didn't matter much at the Stars Path Level. It was the equivalent to the Divine Path Realm, so the size could be controlled to a certain extent. It was pretty much like a demon beast.

Finally, the Phoenix landed on the ground once more and looked at Krune.

"Oh, you are here."

Krune could see the immovable Parrot Puppet on one corner of the room, so it was evident that Heavin's conscience was in the Phoenix at the moment.

"How is the puppet, is it as good as you designed?"

Heavin nodded.

"Pretty much. It's just that there are several components that I haven't added yet. For example, the parts that I'll need you to forge. Because of that, I'm only using some cheap replacements. It will become much better after you make them since I designed it with them in mind."

Krune nodded.

"I just finished my shields, so I'm basically waiting for Feifei to come back. Once I pass my Shields to her, I can start forging the parts you asked me."

Heavin was satisfied to hear that.

"That's good. It's just that Feifei had just entered the time formation, so she will probably take two or three days to come out."

"Oh, you saw her?"

"Yes, she seemed quite excited since she was about to try to make a Stars Path Level Formation. Considering her Destiny Major Divine Soul, I doubt something will go wrong anyway."

Krune was happy to hear that.

"That's great. In that case, I'll go make something to eat while I wait for her."

Heavin didn't mind.

"Go ahead. I still want to do a few tests, so I'll stay here."

Once Krune arrived in the house, he noticed that Fie was there in the living room. Together with her was Liriu and Tiane.

"Dad! Did you finish your work?"

"Pretty much, I only have Heavin's part and a few things for the Blacksmith Organization. What are you guys doing?"

It was then that noticed that they all had their communicators open.

"Did something happen?"

"Not really, we are just checking the news about what is happening outside. After all those cultivation techniques appeared, it has been quite lively."

Krune checked and could see several topics on the network related to it. Some also speculated that it might have something to do with the disappearance of the Holy Land.

Together with those topics, there were also several others about the Myriad Wisps Technique. In fact, Krune could find the files containing the entire cultivation technique available for download. He downloaded some of those random ones and confirmed that they were indeed the real deal.

Only influential powers know about the wisps situation, so those without this information even think that the Myriad Wisps Technique was also released by the those Universe Powerhouses.

"Indeed, Dalin Universe can't really stop the spread of the Myriad Wisps Technique anymore, so they might as well give up altogether. Instead, the topics about those top cultivation techniques for other races are far more accessed."

Tiane shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, that is obvious. After all, there are only so many wisps. They are not higher in number than some other ordinary races out there. When you put all the Blood and Flesh races together, the wisps can't amount even for 1% of their total."

Krune nodded.

"That's good. It means that no one will target us for the time being. I'm going to make some food, do you guys want some?"

Liriu's eyes lit up. It had been some time since he ate Krune's food. Fie and Tiane also took their chance to ask for what they wanted.

Krune didn't work in anything during the next few days. He had been working on his Blacksmith Skills and cultivating all the time, so he decided to simply rest until Feifei comes out.

Fie only had a single day off. After that, Little Arty dragged her somewhere together with Liriu to continue their own training. Liriu was the opposite of Fie, he always put the full effort. Little Arty loved that since Fie couldn't pretend to not see Liriu working hard, so it helped her to put her all as well. In tiane's case, she went back to where Ruik was staying. It seemed like that lazy snake was close to a breakthrough, so he didn't appear this time.

The days passed, and another week went by. Surprisingly, only now did Feifei come out of the Time Formation. It was a lot more days than Heavin had predicted. Krune didn't find it weird, though. She was trying a breakthrough in her Formations, after all.

Feifei seemed quite tired, so when she saw Krune in the living room, she couldn't help but lie against him. She obviously wanted some attention.

Krune smiled at that while patting her head.

"How was it, did you succeed? Heavin told me that you were trying to create a Stars Path Level Formation."

Feifei, who was quite satisfied with the treatment, nodded her head.

"It cost me a layer of skin, but I finished it. Next time I try a breakthrough in Formations, I won't select one so hard to draw."

"Which one did you use?"

"It was a creation formation. As long as the conditions were right, it could summon fake demon beasts and cultivators. Their power would be something between the 2nd or 3rd Stage of the Divine Path Realm. No wonder there aren't many of these formations everywhere. It is tough to account for all the variables in power and elements. They also had to have an intelligence of their own so that they could adequately battle. Still, I wanted to challenge myself, so I did this idiot choice of a formation."

Krune laughed before asking.

"But you did finish it, didn't you?"

Feifei nodded.

"Of course, who do you think I am? My wisp is already an Eight Stars Path Blacksmith, so how could I keep at the Diamond Level as a Formations Master?"

Feifei then gave Krune a kiss before changing the topic.

"I got your message, do you want to me to start drawing the formations in your Shield now?"

Krune pondered a bit and shook his head.

"You just finished creating that crazy thing, so take the rest of the day to rest. We still have a few months ahead. That is more than enough time."

The two then talked for a few more hours before they went back to their bedroom. Krune had some 'marital duties' to fulfill, which he gladly did. On the next morning, Feifei took all his Diamond Shields and went somewhere else to draw the Energy Transfer Formations. As for Krune, he went to talk with Heavin so that they could start forging the Puppet Parts that he required.
