Is That A Wisp? Chapter 352
Advertisement
Krune's group entered the center part of the Castle and started moving forward. They verified room by room to check if there was anything left as well. Unfortunately, they were all as they predicted. Everything was already wiped out.
On the way, Krune and the others also noticed signs of battle that happened not too long ago. Krune even found one of the Golden Dragonflies corpses at one of the battle sights. It was obvious that a few fierce battles for resources and treasures happened there.
This time, Krune wasn't using his Tribulation Lightning Layer since he didn't want to risk losing control over the energies in his foundation. It was already quite difficult to keep everything inside calm the way it is.
Everyone kept moving for over an hour without finding anything or anyone until finally, they arrived at an enormous building in the middle of the Castle. The door of the building was already open, which means that others had entered already. Unfortunately, the building seemed to have some kind of formation protecting against Divine Senses.
When Ricarte and Reiny saw that place, their eyes immediately lit up!
"Let's enter."
Krune's group moved slowly between the corridors of that place. This building also had several other rooms inside, but they all seemed to have been cleaned of whatever they had already.
However, when they reached the center of the building, there was a door with a seal on it. On the top, one could see a name written: 'Multi-Dimensional Spatial Gate Room.' When Ricarte saw that, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's it!"
Krune then looked at Ricarte and said.
"As I thought. When we passed through the rooms that were emptied already, both you and Reiny didn't seem very concerned about that. So your objective had never been the Treasures and Resources to start with, right?"
Ricarte laughed and then nodded. Just to be safe, he started using Divine Sense message to talk with Krune and the others.
"Was it that obvious? Oh well, it doesn't matter. You are correct, what we came here for is not the resources, techniques, treasures, or whatever. We came here for one reason only, Mohie Zarks' Undetectable Universe Crossing Spatial Gate."
Krune knew what he was talking about. Mohie Zarks projection had talked with his group when they first entered the Castle Realm. He said that the bubble realms' main reason for existence was so that Zarks could leave the Dalin Universe undetected. It seems like this locked room is exactly where the Spatial Gate that he used is at.
"For what you need this thing?"
Ricarte and Reiny looked at each other and then at Krune.
"Isn't that obvious? We wish to leave the Dalin Universe without being noticed!"

That answer made Krune and Feifei even more puzzled. Why would they leave the Dalin Universe? This is the place where one's cultivation and laws improved the fastest. It gathered geniuses from several powerful Universes, which was the ideal place to test one's ability.
But Joiu was different, after pondering a bit, he found the answer. Of course, he realized that it was a delicate topic, so he also used Divine Sense Messages.
"Are your families from the Dalin Universe?"
Ricarte and Reiny nodded.
"Yes."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"What is this about?"
Joiu looked at Krune and explained.
"You know how the Universe powerhouses send their geniuses here to train, right?"
Krune and Feifei nodded, so Joiu continued.
"But what should we say about the geniuses who are born here? In a Universe like this, there is no doubt that it will give birth to the highest number of them. No other Universe could ever hope to match it, right?"
Feifei and Krune looked at each other and nodded once more.
"Right."
"Good, let me explain from the start. It is very easy to identify cultivators and demon beasts who come from other Universes since the only way in is through the official Spatial Gates from each Main Universe. You probably still remember that when you came in, you had received the same special mark as I did. Once you reach the Divine Path Realm, you will be forced to leave this Universe unless you join some power here. Still, that mark will always be there with you if you do that."
Krune and Feifei made a poker face. What mark? We entered this place illegally, so we have no mark what so ever! Of course, they wouldn't say it aloud.
Feifei and Krune then agreed with Joiu.
"Yes, we did 'receive' the mark."
Joiu nodded.
"Of course you did. Anyway, the situation is different for those who are born in the Dalin Universe. This is their home, and this is a home that gives birth to a lot of talents. Usually, the cultivators and demon beasts would return to their own home Universes when they acquire the right cultivation. But since Ricarte and Reiny are already home, they don't need to go anywhere."
"Now comes the issue. What if the cultivators and demon beasts grow up and decide to take Dalin back for themselves? The other Main Universes can't possibly allow such thing to happen. That is why once a cultivator or demon beast who was born here reaches the Divine Path Realm, they will receive a Seal into their cultivations. That Seal exists to prevent that once they grow up and enter the Divinity Realm, they won't try to start a rebellion."

"Because those Seals were put while they were still in the Divine Path Realm, it fuses with their foundation as they continuing to cultivate. So it becomes impossible to remove in the future. Simply put, you will be imprisoned until the day you ascend."
Krune then thought about something else.
"What if you try to leave the Dalin Universe before you reach the Divine Path Realm?"
Ricarte was the one to explain this part.
"If you wish to leave, you need to use one of the Official Spatial Gates. Even if a Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast tries to open a personal spatial gate, it won't work. So when you are not in the Divine Path Realm and try to leave through the Main Gates, you will simply receive your Seal earlier. Only then can you pass through."
"All the Spatial Gates are guarded by several Divinity Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts. Not to mention the several Divinity Star Level protection and analyzing Formations. Simply put, it is impossible to leave without having your Seal placed on you."
"There is only one exception to this rule, which are the wisps. Everyone knows that they can't reach the Divine Path Realm even while staying in the Dalin Universe, let alone once they leave. So placing Seal on them is a waste of resources. Well, not that there is many wisps idiot enough to leave since it is very expensive to do so. Not to mention the fact that they would be giving up the already almost nonexistent chance of advancing between the earlier realms."
Ricarte then looked at Krune and added.
"Don't take it personally, that is just how the things are."
Ricarte knew that Krune was very talented. Still, he doesn't believe that Krune could reach the Divine Path Realm either, just like any other wisp.
Krune didn't mind at all. In fact, such an arrangement couldn't be better for him and his wisp race. After all, their plan consisted of several wisps entering other Universes with the Myriad Wisps Technique. Not being marked while they are there is obviously the best thing that could happen.
"It's okay, you are not wrong about that."
Ricarte nodded and then pointed at the door.
"Anyway, that's what it is about. Both me and Reiny don't want to be imprisoned by those Seals. The same goes for my two friends behind me. That is also why we joined hands in this Dimensional Realm Inheritance thing."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"How did you find about this Spatial Gate?"
Ricarte shook his head.
"For the sake of my family, I can't tell you."
Krune didn't force the issue after hearing that. Not to mention that he also wanted to take a look at this Spatial Gate. Krune and Feifei wouldn't be leaving now, but they might use it in the future.
Krune brought out that Key that they had acquired and pressed it against the Seal.
But just as they were about to enter, they heard a sound coming from somewhere nearby. Krune and the others looked in that direction, and soon, they could see a three members team approaching. It turned out that it was Mohie Maran and the other two survivors from before.
"So, it was you all that had the Key to this Spatial Gate room."
Ricarte narrowed his eyes and asked.
"So what? Do you want to fight for it with us?"
Maran immediately shook his head.
"Do I look like an idiot? You guys have seven members in total while we are only in three. Sorry but I don't have the intention to suicide yet."
Because Ricarte, Krune, and the others were using Divine Sense Messages, Maran did not hear about Ricarte and Reiny's plans.
"So, what do you want?"
Maran nodded and then said.
"I'm willing to part with all the treasures, soul techniques, resources, and everything else we found inside this Inheritance. I only want a single thing."
Maran then created an image projection with his Spiritual Energy. Feifei, Krune, and Joiu immediately recognized that item.
'The Tribulation Jade.'
But there was a problem, according to Mohie Zarks, this Tribulation jade was brought away with him when he left thousands of years ago. Unless he was lying, such a thing doesn't exist in this place anymore.
Of course, only Krune's group knew about it. So they pretended that they didn't know anything.
"I don't mind it but, what if we don't find what you said?"
Maran then shrugged his shoulder and said.
"After making sure that this Jade isn't inside, we will simply leave. Whatever you plan to do after that is not my problem, nor do I care. Besides, you won't be able to enter without this thing."
Maran then took out another key that looked exactly like Krune's. The only difference was that it had other colors.
Krune and the others then looked at the door and immediately understood.
"It needs two keys to open, not only one."
Maran nodded.
"Exactly! Otherwise, I would have entered already. The room that we selected to enter the center of the Castle was where we found this key. Only when I tried to use this thing did I understand that I would need more than one."
Krune looked at Ricarte, and they nodded at each other.
"Very well. Let's go according to what you suggested."

Only Villains Do That

This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
