Is that a Wisp?

Krune noticed that his Meridians seemed to absorb both the Godly Energy and that weird transformation law. In the Holy land, such a thing didn't happen at all. As he paid more attention to it, he noticed that what came in first were the laws, and only then the Godly Energy.

'I see, without the support of the transformation laws, the Godly Energy can't transform the meridians.'

Krune had only to think for a moment to understand why it was happening.

'I'm such an idiot. Of course, the meridians will transform. I already verified way back that the Myriad Energies Technique's Meridians would become part of one's body. Not only that, but they could even be passed down like a bloodline. Since they are part of my 'body,' they will obviously transform first. Well, they are the only thing that can be considered as a 'part of a body' in my case.'

Krune's eyes lit up, and he controlled both the Elemental and Chaos Meridians to absorb even more Godly Energy. Different from his Wisp Core, he didn't feel any pain while his Meridians transformed at all.

Light Spirit was also taken aback. The speed which Krune was absorbing the super-concentrated Godly Energy far surpassed his expectations.

"Did you find a way to accelerate the process?"

Krune immediately replied.

"Yes and no."

He then explained his theory to Light Spirit.

"I see, that really makes sense. Meridians are considered part of the body, not the Dantian or Demon Core. It is no surprise that you can transform it first. However, the fact that you don't feel any pain while doing it is beyond my expectations. Are you sure your meridians aren't on the verge of breaking down?"

Krune shook his head.

"There is nothing wrong with them. If anything, they seem quite excited about it. It's just like when I first used Purple Tribulation Lightning to create the Spiritual Energy Meridians."

Light Spirit was quite surprised by that.

"Well, that's good then. I'll increase the amount of Godly Energy so that you can finish their transformation faster. Also, I'm quite curious to see what they will become."

Krune nodded, and he concentrated on all the Godly Energy and Transformation Laws. Both types of meridians seemed like sharks who smelled blood. They absorbed the Godly Energy and Transformation Laws like twenty small black holes.

"I wonder if all of them will become something like Godly Energy meridians. After all, the Elemental and Chaos Meridians were supposed to do two different types of jobs."

Light Spirit also had the same doubt.

"I don't know. In theory, they will be different. After all, they are made differently."

It was then that Light Spirit had an idea.

"Wait. Suppose that the Elemental and Chaos Meridians are becoming the same thing or kind of, why don't you try to fuse them? Until now, you had to first convert Spiritual Energy with the Elemental Meridians. Only then could you convert the Elemental Energy into Chaos Energy with the Chaos Meridians. But if they can link together, wouldn't they be able to do both things simultaneously?"

Krune pondered a bit before saying.

"But the Godly Path Realm and God Realm only have Godly Energy. If I fuse my twenty meridians into ten, wouldn't it be worse?"

Light Spirit was taken aback. Indeed, doing such a fusion would only be beneficial in the Lower Realms, not in the Higher ones.

"Hum... To be honest, I think you should still try it. If the Elemental and Chaos meridians can be fused into ten Godly Energy Meridians, they would be much bigger and more powerful. In theory, they wouldn't lose to the twenty smaller ones. Besides, it is not like you won't go back to the Lower Realm anymore, right?"

Krune thought about the chances. For some reason, he felt that it was worth a try.

"Alright, let me see what I can do."

Krune Chaos meridians are different from each other. After all, each one of them represented one part of the Heavenly Laws in the Lower Realms. The tenth one was the only exception since it was made with Light Spirit's Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws. But in that case, he can simply use the Purple Tribulation Lightning Elemental Meridian as a base.

Surprisingly, Krune didn't feel any deterrence when fusing the first Elemental Meridian with the Chaos Meridian. If anything, it seemed more like they were supposed to be together from the very start.

"Light Spirit, the Chaos Meridians are the Fourth Form of the Myriad Energies Technique. In the past, I thought that the Fifth Form would be Divinity Energy Meridians. But now I'm starting to think that perhaps, the fifth form was the Godly Energy Meridians instead. Otherwise, the fusion shouldn't be working so easily as this."

Light Spirit then thought about a possibility.

"That makes sense. Do you Remember? Wally's disciples in the Elemental Path said that they had been trying to create the Fifth Form for who knows how many Chaos Cycles. However, only when you showed them the Purple Tribulation Meridians did they considered the Higher Realms' laws. That being said, it has a direct relation with the Godly Energy and Transformation Laws of the Higher Realms."

"First of all, who said that the Myriad Energies Technique Fifth Form had something to do with Divinity Energy? It's just that you all saw it evolving into Spiritual Meridians, Elemental Meridians, and Chaos Meridians that you automatically thought about something like Divinity Meridians."

"However, your meridians are making the fusion as if it was the most common thing in the world. Doesn't that prove that such a thing as Divinity Meridians shouldn't exist in the first place? Or better, it might really be possible to create the Divinity Meridians first, but who said that you must follow the proper order? Your Myriad Energies Technique is something wholly new and unexplored, so there is nothing wrong if you find new paths that no one discovered before."

Krune had to admit that Light Spirit was right.

"Alright, enough with the talk. Focus on the fusion and then the transformation."

However, Krune came up with another idea.

"Wait! Before that, didn't you say the new ascenders need to first transform their bodies before slowly transform their Dantians and Demon Cores? In that case, wouldn't my Meridians be considered my body in a certain way? If that is the case, I believe I can use my meridians to resist the Higher Realms Godly Energy and only then slowly transform my foundation and Wisp Core."

Light Spirit was surprised to hear that.

"I see... Then let me know when you finish the transformation and fusion of the Elemental and Chaos Meridians into Godly Meridians. We can test if you can use them to resist the Higher Realms Godly Energy on your own."

Krune agreed with Light Spirit and focused on the transformation of his meridians. As time passed, Krune asked for more and more Godly Energy. Of course, Light Spirit made sure to not disperse the Energy Protection that Wally put around Krune's Wisp Core. According to what Light Spirit could see, Wally's protection would last an entire week.

Back on Iem Turo's side, he was suffering quite a lot. Even with his Crystallisation ability of the Heavenly Race and the Devil Flame God's help, it was far from easy. Harold did his best to make Iem go to his limit. If he let even an extra iota of Godly Energy pass through his protection, Iem would definitely collapse. He knew that coming to this place was a risk with Iem's level, but he simply couldn't let the chance pass.

Suddenly, he remembered about Krune and Luvile. When his perception extended to those two, he was taken aback. The amount of Godly Energy entering the Wisp's body was at least five times higher than Iem Turo's. He couldn't believe it since Krune is just a wisp. How could he resist so much Godly Energy of the Higher Realms like that?

"Luvile, is that really a wisp? How can he absorb so much Godly Energy?"

Usually, Light Spirit wouldn't need to answer if he didn't want to. But he felt that Harold would not just let it go if he ignored him. So he came up with a good excuse.

"It's not like you didn't hear, right?"

Harold was puzzled.

"Hear what?"

Luvile then continued.

"Were you in a cave during your time in the Lower Realms? I'm obviously talking about the new Myriad Wisps Technique, idiot. What else could allow him to do what he is doing now if not for that?"

Harold was taken aback. Of course, he heard about it. The Myriad Wisps Technique that was on par with the best cultivation techniques of the strongest powers in all Universes.

"That thing? But how is it related to Godly Energy? Wasn't it just a Lower Realms Cultivation Technique?"

Luvile snorted after hearing that.

"Do you know who invented it? It was an ascender. To be more specific, the only Wisp to have ever ascended, Wally. Considering that you spent your time with this kid of the Dalin Universe, I'm sure you at least heard about him, right?"

Harold finally understood what Luvile meant.

"I see... I heard about Wally and the wisps' situation indeed. I guess I just didn't care much about it. Otherwise, I should have thought about this possibility. Sure enough, that Wisp stayed in the lower realms to create this new technique that is amazing both in the Lower and Higher Realms, quite impressive."

Luvile agreed with him.

"Now, don't bother me anymore since I need to take care of this wisp here."

Harold agreed with Luvile and also returned his attention to Iem. Just like that, three days went by.
