This time, it was an enormous mountain that extended for several hundreds of kilometers. Around the mountain, there was nothing more than emptiness, it was obvious that this Realm only extended that far.

When Krune's group passed through the door, they noticed that behind them, there was no opening anymore. Still, cultivators and demon beast kept appearing one after another. Krune tried to go back through the location that he came, but there was nothing but the air there.

​​

"It is as Ricarte mentioned, the realms wouldn't allow you to go back at some point. I just didn't expect it to be this soon."

Everyone also noticed something else.

"Divine Sense is being extremely restricted in this place."

Krune nodded.

"Indeed. I can't see more than 3km around me. Also, we better be prepared because there is a chance that several Realms, if not all of the next ones, will have the same effect."

Krune's group and everyone else then started to explore the mountainsides without entering the void. But the outside of the mountain seemed to be completely empty. A few minutes earlier, they received the information that a cave entrance was found not too far from where they are.

Arriving there, Krune noticed that all cultivators and demon beasts were gathered once more. It's not that they were afraid of entering, but because they couldn't. In front of the cave, there was a seal preventing anyone from passing through.

Krune asked everyone to take a safe distance to try to use his Jade Slip once more. But then one of the cultivators waiting said.

"I think it is not the issue. This Seal will be opened in another way."

Krune and the others looked at him, puzzled.

"Well, touch the seal, and you will understand what I mean."

Krune noticed that a few of the earlier ones were also doing that. His group then touched the Seal, and sure enough, a stream of information flowed inside their soul.

"Only once everyone in this Realm is gathered, shall this Seal be removed."

They immediately understood why the Jade Slip would be of no use here.

Joiu pondered a bit and then said.

"That makes sense. There are only 18 Jade Slips, but there are a lot more realms than that. How would the cultivators and demon beasts that don't have a Jade Slip proceed forward? The Realm also has its own ways to allow everyone to pass through since it was obviously created to support a lot of them."

Krune nodded.

"Indeed. That house that exploded before. Maybe there was another way to activate that explosion as well. It's just that since I had the Jade Slip, it opened straight away. Let me see if this Seal can be opened with the Jade Slip as well."

Krune brought his Jade Slip forward, but this time, the Seal had no reaction what so ever.

"Seems like we need to wait for the rest to gather here, then."

Some tried to go to the sides and use Earth Movement Techniques to enter, but just as expected, the Seal seemed to cover the entire mountain. All the attempts turned into failure.

The information soon spread to the others who were exploring outside. More and more cultivators and demon beasts started to gather in front of the Seal. Around one hour later, just when a solo demon beast arrived, the Seal started to shine.

Everyone felt a chill of their backs and immediately ran far away from the Seal. No one wanted to be close if this thing decides to explode as well. But in the end, the Seal in front of the door disappeared. Krune's group and the others came back once more... slowly. When then finally got in front of the cave, no changes happened at all.

"Well, I guess we can just enter."

Usually, the greed ones would have rushed inside, but it seems that the last house explosion helped them to cool down their heads.

The cave entrance was enormous, so everyone could pass without any struggle. All the teams continued forward until they reached a bifurcation. There were no Signs, Seals, Formations, or whatever. But everyone soon noticed another thing.

"The Divine Sense is even more restricted here, I can't see more than a single kilometer ahead now."

Obviously, the cultivators and demon beasts would need to choose their own paths without the Divine Sense help.

Rarol then sent a Divine Sense message to their group.

"Right side. I feel like the left will not have a nice outcome."

No one asked any questions, and they immediately entered the right entrance. The majority of the Demon Beasts and Cultivators ended following Krune's group, but a few decided to try their luck and entered left.

Krune's group continue forward for a few minutes when suddenly, they felt the cave tremble! Everyone immediately raised their energy barriers and got ready for any situation. However, nothing happened after that.

Dilo looked at his group and the commented.

"It was probably the guys who took the left side. Whatever they found there, it doesn't seem to have been good."

Krune and everyone else nodded.

"Let's keep going."

Not too long after, their group had to select another route. But this time, there were three paths to be chosen. Rarol looked at them and narrowed his eyes.

His older brother, Tinnian, noticed it and then asked.

"What is it?"

Rarol then said with a Divine Sense Message.

"The center seems fine while the left gives me the same sensation as the previous one. As for the right... it is a mix of good and bad feelings. If I was to guess, there would be some interesting rewards, but at the same time equivalent danger. It is up to you guys which side you are going to follow, center, or right."

Krune looked at everyone, and they nodded.

"Well, the right side it is!"

That was obvious. They came here to see if this Mohie Zarks had something to do with the same Mohie Zarks from the Luvile Universe. But at the same time, they also wanted to find treasures, resources, and Soul Techniques for Heavin to analyze.

Once again, the majority followed Krune's group while a few took the left and center paths.

This time, Krune and his group were moving very slowly to be ready for any trap. After a few minutes, the cave trembled again. They didn't need to think much to understand that the left path was probably the reason.

They ignored it and pressed forward. At some point, Krune detected that the tunnel started to expand. Soon, they reached what seemed to be an enormous space inside the mountain. They looked around and could see several small cave rooms on the sides. On the other side, the path to keep moving forward as there as well.

Just as Krune and the others were about to enter that space, Rarol stopped them with a Divine Sense Message.

"There is something ahead."

Although Krune and his group stopped, some of the cultivators and demon beasts didn't. They rushed inside, expecting to be the first one to take the treasures in those rooms. The rest had noticed that Krune didn't enter, so they, too, decided to play safe and wait with Krune.

Sure enough, that space that seemed to be silent until now changed completely. Krune felt the Spiritual Energy rushing into the soil, and soon, several vines shot out of it. They immediately targeted the cultivators and demons beasts that entered the space.

Those guys were all in the Divine Soul or Soul Forging Realm, so they obviously had the power to protect themselves... or so they thought. Although their attacks damaged some of the vines, the majority were still fine. It didn't matter what element or laws they used; it didn't seem to have much of an effect on the vines either.

That wasn't all. Their energy barriers were utterly useless against those vines. They pierced through it as if they were made of paper! Those vines soon penetrated everyone who entered the space, and the bodies of the Demon Beasts and Cultivators started to dry quickly.

They tried their best to get rid of the vines, but it was useless. Just a few seconds later, only their bones were left behind. Still, there were three exceptions!

Two Demon Beasts in human form and one Cultivator were at the center of the room, looking at all of that frightened. But for some reason, the vines didn't target them.

Krune was paying attention to everything and then said.

"I see, so that's how it is."

He then started to move forward as if nothing had happened in the first place. Feifei and the others didn't understand what he was thinking but followed him nonetheless.

Soon, Krune got beside those three who felt too scared to move.

"Don't worry, the vines will not attack you here."

Krune then looked behind to the others and said.

"As long as we don't enter those cave rooms, the vines won't do anything. Just follow the center path through the room to the exit on the other side, and we will all be safe. Those vines are here to protect the cave rooms, that's all."

Finally, everyone understood why Krune wasn't afraid of entering and soon followed. Just as he said, those vines did not approach the center path that leads to the other side.

While the others were passing, Krune and his group stayed in the center of the room. There were, of course, a few others who also stayed there, and they all had the same idea. If those caves are being protected, then some of the treasures and resources that they are after is probably inside.

Feifei then looked at Krune and the others.

"Well, any ideas?"
