Is that a Wisp?

A few months later, the Home Alliance had finally emerged victorious in the war.

The Dalin Home Alliance winning the war wasn't that unexpected. After all, they simply had no way of breaking through the Godly Plate Formations that Krune gave Little Arty to use. Little Arty also ensured that no one he didn't trust would enter the formation's perimeter, so spies wouldn't even pass through.

Of course, it was a Universe War, so the Retaking Alliance had many experts. Even though the Home Alliance won, there was no lack of enemies hidden in the various corners of the Dalin Universe. The Dalin people and beasts would need to pay very good attention to the situation for the next thousands of years to ensure none of those hidden dangers would turn off the formation. Especially since Krune's Godly Plates only had a little more than one hundred years of use time before breaking down.

A few things, of course, happened here and there. Sometimes Cinty had to go out and discuss the new regime with the Dalin members and the like. Although many of them didn't like that the Wisp Race was neutral, the top higher-ups knew the truth behind it. It was exactly the Wisp race that provided them the Formation Plates. That alone was what allowed them to have a great advantage during the war.

Still, there was nothing much other than that. The time everyone spent in the Wisp World while cultivating was pretty much peaceful. Feifei, Lofa, and Cinty had a lot of time to cuddle their kids as much as they wanted. With the resources available to them, it went without saying that their cultivation had improved smoothly.

And just like that, multiple years had passed, and soon, three decades and a few years had gone by in a flash. By now, the Dalin Universe's situation had pretty much stabilized, with very few uprisings among the remaining Retaking Alliance members. Even the Universe Powerhouses outside understood that taking Dalin down was an almost impossible mission with the Universe's Godly Protection Formation present.

Back in the Wisp Main World, Krune was cultivating inside a chamber with a few Top Quality Godly Stones around him. On his side, Feifei did the same thing. She had even prepared formations so that none of the energy would be wasted.

After some time, Feifei felt a ripple inside her Dantian. Immediately, she opened her eyes in delight.

"It's finally here."

Krune heard her voice, prompting him to ask.

"Oh! So you got there before me?"

Feifei giggled when she heard that.

"What do you mean before you? If you didn't hold back, you would definitely have arrived at his point first."

Krune shook his head in response.

"It's not a bad thing. Because I was in the Godly Path Realm, my cultivation progressed too quickly. Although I have no issues with my foundation, I had no time to get used to it. It was totally different from you, who had over a hundred years of extra time compared to me. I think that holding myself back was, in fact, a good thing."

Krune then raised his hand as Purple Tribulation Lightning began to course through his hand. However, there was a difference this time. He was able to do that with a single thought—no need for any kind of help from his Godly Meridians or Luvile's. Sure enough, Krune had reached a culmination in the last sub-law of the Purple Tribulation Lightning and merged all the sub-laws together.

"It isn't as good as it was in the Godly Path Realm, but this extra time also helped me put my thoughts together and reach this level."

Luvile's voice then echoed in the room.

"That's true. You got stuck at the last law for a very long time because of you rushing back in the Godly Path Realm. This time you spent idling was beneficial for you."

Feifei heard that and felt helpless for him.

"Alright, alright. Now, then. Let me do it."

Feifei took another few Top Quality Godly Energy Stones from her Spatial Ring and put them around her. Soon after, she began to gather the energy and attack the bottleneck of the 9th Stage of the Divinity Realm! With the Myriad Energies Technique to support her, she was very confident in her chances.

Krune just stayed by the side, watching as the girl made her breakthrough with a smile. He wasn't the least bit worried that Feifei would fail.

Sure enough, a burst of Godly and Spiritual Energy came from Feifei's Foundation as her cultivation increased very quickly. In just a few minutes, it went up and stabilized in the 9th Stage. Feifei had finally reached their objective.

"Phew... I wanted to say that it really took some time. However, my ancestor would probably break my head if she heard that. Hahaha!"

Their ancestors took thousands of years to reach the 9th Stage of the Divinity Realm, after all. Feifei and anyone in Krune's group really had nothing to complain about since they only had to cultivate a few hundred years to reach that point.

Krune laughed as well before saying.

"It's fine. They also have the Myriad Energies Technique now, so they are pretty happy with it. Talking about your Wang Clan ancestor, wasn't she in the Peak of the Divinity Realm already? Is she holding her cultivation back to not ascend?"

Feifei nodded.

"Yes. She was never confident in her chances of passing the Ascension Tribulation at her level. Only after she got the Myriad Energies Technique from you did she began to prepare for it. Still, Ancestor Wang Mei is too important for the Wang Clan, so she would need many years to prepare everything for her departure. A clan operates in a different way than a sect, after all. We only leave the position of leaders to our own blood."

Krune could imagine that.

"Well, it shouldn't take long for her now. Anyway, since you got your breakthrough into the 9th Stage, I guess it's time for me to do so as well."

Feifei was taken aback as she looked at Krune.

"You...! So you really had been holding back all this time!"

Krune smiled.

"Yes and no. Didn't you hear Luvile? Holding back was a good thing for me, so I benefited a lot from that. However, it is true that I didn't want to make you hurry just because I was ahead, so I was doing it for the both of us."

Feifei couldn't help but sigh. Still, she was happy inside. That just showed how much importance Krune gave to her well-being. He might be a little dense... well, a lot dense... but she loved that part of him as well.

"Fine! Go ahead and make your breakthrough. After that, we're going to be finally ready to go after the Mortal Realm Key."

Krune nodded and concentrated on his cultivation. Several Top Quality Godly Energy Stones quickly appeared around him. Not long after, he began to absorb all of the energy inside the stones into his Wisp Core like a raging torrent. It was obviously many times faster than Feifei since he had the Godly Energy Meridians.

He controlled that energy and used it to attack the 9th stage barrier. If the breakthrough was easy for Feifei, then nothing else could be said for him. A few minutes later, another burst of Godly and Spiritual Energy came from Krune's Wisp Core as it spread outwards. His breakthrough was quite strong, so a few of his friends outside noticed it straight away. Cinty, who was talking with Ary, immediately looked in the direction of Krune's house as she smiled.

"What is it, mom?"

Cinty then looked at the lady in front of her, who was taking care of another kid. Ary had grown up into a beautiful woman and had even married already. Well, she was already over forty years old, so there was nothing wrong with that.

"Oh, it's just your Uncle Krune and Aunt Feifei. It seems like they've finally reached the 9th Stage of the Divinity Realm."

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the door.

"What?! Mom and Dad succeeded?! Let's go see them!"

The man was none other than Krune and Feifei's only male child, Luo. He quickly held Ary's hand as the two left in a hurry with their kid. Cinty sighed and used her Divine Sense to tell everyone about it before leaving the house calmly. Kiirion soon appeared by her side as he looked at Ary and Luo flying away.

"They're already over forty. Can't they be a little more composed?"

Cinty shrugged her shoulders as she said.

"For cultivators and demon beasts, forty years is still young."

It turned out that Ary and Luo fell in love with each other, so they got married. Cinty, Krune, and Feifei were more than happy for them since each side knew that they could trust their kids' choice. Krune was just a little surprised about their child, though. That's because the two decided to give his name to him. Cinty and Kiirion didn't mind it. In fact, many wisp couples in the Wisp Solar System used Krune's name in their offsprings as well. That's just how famous Krune had become in the Wisp Race. His existence wasn't any worse than the Wisp Queen, Cinty.

Back where Krune and Feifei had their breakthroughs, they quickly noticed the crowd heading their way.

"Well, it seems like everyone knows already."

Feifei smiled as she got up.

"Let's go out and see them."

Not everyone was present. Lofa and Tasier had gone somewhere else with Zuan. Lua, Krune's second daughter, went on a trip with Fie and Darten's family. For some reason, Yusa went with them as well.

Nonetheless, they were still in Dalin, so it was quite easy to contact them through the Universe Network.
