Ruik couldn't help but ask.

"Are you being serious? With so many good options you selected me?"

​​

Krune nodded.

"Of course. I'm sure that they will eventually reach a high realm with their dedication. But if I don't keep an eye on you, what will happen with the face of our rainbow sect? A sect where all the members are stronger than the Sect Master? That can not happen, right?"

Ruik couldn't help but exclaim.

"Then why don't you select one of them as Sect Master? It's not like it has to be me."

Krune then looked behind and asked.

"Anyone here wants to be the Sect Master?"

The answer was unanimous.

"No!"

Krune looked back at Ruik and said.

"There you go."

Ruik's mouth twitched.

"Lakin is going to take my place for hundreds or even thousands of years. Isn't it better to simply make him the Sect master, then?"

Lakin was the one to answer this one.

"I'm just taking it as an experience. How could I rob the real Sect Master of his position? Don't worry, I won't betray the Sect like this."

Ruik was already feeling like crying.

"Do I really have to go?"

Krune looked at him and said.

"Well, I won't force you, of course. But out of everyone, I wanted you to come with me. Are you really going to refuse?"

Ruik then received a Divine Sense message from Krune.

"Out of everyone, you are the one with the most neutral position. If I selected someone else, I doubt that the others would complain or blame me in any way. Still, some will think: 'What or why didn't I select them?' You are the only one in our group that can make no one feel that way after being selected. I really put a lot of thought over it, and that's the kind of position that you have in everyone's mind."

Ruik didn't expect that he was seen like that. In the end, he just sighed and accepted his fate.

"Fine, once I get to the Divine Path Realm, I guess I can sleep as much as I want."

Lakin put one hand on his head and said.

"That is considering that you will ever get at that Realm. Even I have passed you already. Let's see what you can do with this personality of yours."

Ruik didn't care about that, though.

"That's only a temporary thing.

Ao then asked Krune.

"Is there someone else going with you?"

Krune nodded.

"Sooner or later, you would find out. But I hope you keep quiet for the time being. I'm going with Feifei too. That's because, as I told you before, we have that thing about destiny energy not moving with our actions."

Ao and everyone else remembered the day that Krune told them about it. For some reason, divination didn't work on him, and it seemed like it didn't work on Feifei either.

"I see, I understand. By the way, if you can bring someone, she probably can too. Who is she selecting?"

Krune shook his head.

"I have no idea. I guess I will know by tomorrow anyway."

Krune then spent the rest of the time chatting with everyone and doing whatever had to be done.

The next day. Krune was back into his Master's residence. Wang Mei and Lani where there already too. Beside him, Ruik had a gloomy face as if he was going for his execution.

Feifei was also there, and beside her, there was another girl with pure black hair. When Krune felt her aura, he knew that she was a demon beast. She wasn't that beautiful but not ugly either. Common was definitely the best statement.

As for her race? She could be said to be extremely common too. That's because she wasn't anything else other than a Demon Crow! That's correct, a very common animal that could be found almost anywhere in this Universe.

Krune then sent Feifei a Divine Sense message asking about.

"Oh, her? Her name is Tiane, and she had been following me ever since I was young. I've known her for even longer than you. Right, let me tell you how it became like this, I'm sure you will like it."

Feifei then sent a Divine Sense message to explain everything to both Krune and Ruik.

Usually, Demon Crows don't cultivate to the point where they get sentience. At most, they would reach the 2nd or 3rd stage of the Qi Condensation, they are even weaker than that Four Winged Crow that attacked Krune back then.

Due to a coincidence, Feifei was able to see Tiane's future. There was nothing impressive in it. In fact, it was quite bad. According to what Feifei saw, she was supposed to be killed by a stronger beast and eaten after that. Quite a common fate for a lot of animals. Still, Feifei as a kid, couldn't bear letting it happen.

At that time, Uncle Feng explained that this is how the world works. The weak become prey for the strong. If she decided to save every single animal that has this kind of destiny, even her entire life wouldn't be sufficient. Not to mention that she would disrupt the balance of other living beings. So he made a deal with Feifei as a kid. He would let Feifei bring that Crow with her, but she should not do that again unless it is something really important.

There was even a similarity with Krune, Tiane was able to get her human form the moment she reached the Foundation Establishment. It once again goes to show just how common her race is.

Still, once Tiane got sentience at the 9th stage of the Qi Condensation, she came to understand that it was Feifei that gave her that chance. So she decided to follow Feifei from that moment onwards. Tiane didn't have any talent whatsoever, she is as ordinary at cultivation as anyone could be. But thanks to her hard work and the Wang Clan's resources, she was able to reach the 3rd stage of the Core Formation Realm. That could already be said to be a miracle, and it only loses to Krune's case.

After hearing everything, Krune couldn't help but feel some admiration for Tiane.

He looked back at Ruik and rebuked him.

"Now look at that. Tiane's talents are worse than yours, her age is lower than yours, she doesn't have the Spiritual Energy Meridians either. A Demon Crow! Don't you feel ashamed of yourself for being in the 9th stage of the Foundation Establishment still?"

Every word was a knife passing through Ruik's heart. He looked at Tiane, who didn't know anything about this conversation, as if she was a great foe.

"Fine! I already said that I understand, didn't I? You just wait and see how this grandfather will surpass her in no time."

Krune laughed after hearing that.

"That's what I want to see because if not, you are definitely in for a beating!"

Lani and Mei came forward and asked.

"Are you four ready? We are going to open the passage now."

They all nodded.

Lani and Mei then helped each other so that nothing wrong would go with the passage.

After some time, Lani said.

"I found the location described by Senior Cilia."

Mei nodded.

"Let me help you open it up."

The power of space-time came from both of them, and soon, a spatial gate started to open in front of Krune's group.

"Alright, let's use this passage to find a planet for them to land. We can't simply throw Feifei and the rest in the middle of the void, after all."

Lani nodded.

"I hope it doesn't take too much time. The longer it takes, the higher the chances of the other side find out that a gate is open."

Mei nodded, and they started to spread their Divine Sense into the Universe.

But soon, both Lani and Mei were shocked!

At first, they thought that it would take some time until they found a planet with the right conditions. Things like a population, technology, cultivators, and demon beasts. After all, if they sent Krune and Feifei in a desert planet, they would basically be stuck there for decades, if not hundreds of years before they can open a spatial gate themselves.

But it turned out that every single planet that they scanned had everything that they were looking for! Soon, Lani and Mei understood the reason. That is a Universe that can speed up the rate of cultivation. So it goes without saying that every single Universe in control of this one sent as many people and demon beasts as possible. That way, their own universes would be strengthened. Because of this, now even the most remote planets had cultivators and demon beasts.

Even planets that were in no habitable zones of that Universe were no exception! Thanks to formations and other means, those planets also were flourishing with life.

Lani couldn't help but say.

"I thought that our problem would be to find a habitable planet. But I have never thought that the issue would be to select one instead."

Mei nodded after hearing that. Even she was having a hard time just picking one. There were just too many of them!

"I guess we might as well select a huge one. That way, Feifei and Krune will have a lot more chances of developing. It seems like Demon Beasts and Humans also live together without a problem there, so we don't need to focus on this issue either."

Lani nodded, and they immediately started to look for a good one. There were quite a few that fit this description, so in the end, they just selected the one that seemed to have the highest amount of spiritual energy.

"Alright, this planet here has everything needed. Let's go with it."

Lani and Mei looked at those four waiting and started to explain the little bit that they could see about that place. Like the landing point, the nearest city, etc...

"You can come now. Remember, no word about where you came from."

Krune's group nodded and bid their farewells.

Feifei gave her mother and father a hug while Krune simply talked with Lucio.

Lucio then remembered something and told him.

"Oh right, you probably will like to know that your Myriad Wisps Technique is spreading quite well. I looked into it last night for you. Quite a few wisps started to enter the cities in their human forms. Also, the market for wisps began to decline since the wisps that were found were no good for energy absorption anymore. Of course, the changes are very small, and few noticed it, but soon, it should become a much more common situation."

Krune felt a little emotional after hearing that. There was obviously a long way to go, but it seemed like that the wisp race in his home universe had finally crossed the start line.

Krune's group finished their preparations and went in front of the gate. Just when everyone started crossing it, Krune remembered something and quickly asked his Master.

"Oh, right! How do you call our Universe?"

Lucio was surprised that Krune still doesn't know that, before the gate closed behind, he answered through a Divine Sense message.

"Luvile Universe."
