Krune thought a little and then said.

"It seems like they are pretty used to receive outsiders. So I guess it won't be that bad to go to their place. Even if they ask from where we are, we can just say that by the orders of our Sect, we can't tell its name so that people won't give us an easier time because of our background."

​​

Feifei shook her head.

"What if they ask for a blood contract to confirm if we are telling the truth?"

Tiane gave them an idea.

"We can do the same. Just say that we are also under a blood contract that we can't reveal our backgrounds. From what I can see, as long as we agree to follow the Planet's Laws, it shouldn't be a big issue once the proper price is paid."

Although Krune could still think about a few flaws in Tiane's plan, he would need more information to decide how to act. Not to mention that fleeing would be a very bad idea. If they become fugitives as soon s they arrive, they will have a hard time while developing here. They are all in the Core Formation Realm, so they can't simply flee from the Planet through the void.

"Alright, let's do as you say."

Krune then paid attention to Ruik once more. It was then that he noticed that the Core Formation Realm guys positioned themselves around Ruik. At first, he got a little nervous. If they decided to intervene in his Trial, Krune definitely wouldn't stay put. But soon, he let out a sigh of relief.

Those guys weren't doing anything to Ruik but stopping the flames of the Tribulation from spreading around. Only now did Krune notice that those flames were burning everything close to Ruik as well.

"I see, considering the number of cultivators and demon beasts in this Planet if everyone goes through their tribulations anywhere, soon, the Planet will become a charred ball in the middle of space. No wonder there are laws set in place for this. It's just like the Tribulation Ground back in the Divine Path Sect."

Ruik, as expected, passed the Tribulation without any significant issues. Although he looked like a charred doll, he was pretty much okay at the moment.

"Hahaha! As long as it is not lightning, this grandfather is not afraid of anything! Did you see that? Even though the time it takes is a lot longer, the different Element makes it a lot easier for me."

Krune gave him a helpless sighed and said.

"Can't you see that we have company? Stop your blabbering and quickly heal yourself, we need to go to the city to pay the fee for your transgression."

Only then did Ruik notice those guys with the same type of clothes around him and the leader looking at him outside.

"Errr... What's going on here?"

Krune then sent him a Divine Sense message explaining the entire situation.

"Oh, I see. Give me a second, I just need to heal the external injuries, and we can go."

Krune looked at the leader of the guards, and he nodded. It wouldn't be a problem to wait just a bit for that. Krune also helped Ruik with his Wood and Water elements, which increased his healing speed even more. Since he only needed to heal the external injuries, the process was over in only a few minutes.

Krune and everyone else bowed to the guards and said.

"Sorry for making you wait."

The leader's impression of Krune's group improved a bit after seeing how polite they were. For them to have arrived here through a spatial gate, it is apparent that they have quite a good background. Still, they know how to show respect, which is a good thing.

"Alright, let's move!"

Krune then asked.

"Could you tell us your name?"

The leader of the group nodded.

"Julian."

Krune also nodded, and their group then followed the guards to the city. Just as Lani and Mei mentioned, they were really just a few hundred kilometers away. From a distance, Krune and the others could see a gigantic wall that extended way past their Divine Senses. But that was to be expected since this is a city with over a hundred million people or demon beasts.

They could also see a protection formation the covered all the way up to the sky. Krune's knowledge of formations had fallen behind for some time now, but he could still tell that it was a detector type instead of a barrier one.

Also, Krune could see that quite a few cultivators of demon beasts passed through it with his Divine Sense. Those ones were not trying to hide, so it wasn't a problem for him and the rest to detect them.

'A barrier-type formation would be annoying to control with this amount of cultivators and demon beasts entering and leaving all the time. Still, it seems like the biggest majority of them have cultivation far higher than me or anyone in my group.'

Once they arrived at the city gate, they descended from the sky. It was then that Julian said.

"This is Galeri City. Remember, no one under the Soul Forging Realm can fly inside the city. Otherwise, they will be charged for breaking the law."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"I can see that those guys flying have cultivations much higher than mine. Still, I can see a few who aren't that strong. Do they have some kind of privilege?"

Julian nodded.

"Exactly, there is only one way for that. Paying the fee! As long as you can afford it, you will get a token that can be used to prove your status. Of course, even I don't have one of those, so it goes without saying that it is quite expensive. The majority of those who have this token usually got it from their families who paid for them."

Julian guided everyone to one of the guards' office branches of the city, where he explained everything to his superior.

"Well, it's not like we don't get clueless travelers like your group now and then. So let's get done with it. First, I need your information so that an ID can be made. After that, you will need to pay the fee for the Tribulation issue. If you can't pay, then you can have your elders come by and do it for you. If that also isn't possible, we are going to assign you to a few places where you will work until you get enough Spirit Stones to clean your names. Any question?"

Krune's group shook their heads. So far, the system of the Riren Planet was pretty much the same as the one back in their homes. They had a specific set of rules and laws that had to be followed.

"Alright, I need your names and birth Planet. If you came from a different Universe, I would need that too. Don't forget your background if you are part of a Sect, Clan, or anything like that."

Krune then couldn't help but sigh.

"We can't give that information since it was the orders of our elders. At most, I can provide you our names. They made us swear to not divulge it so that our background wouldn't be considered when others decide to deal with us. We are sorry."

The guy heard that and didn't seem surprised at all.

"Tch, another group of young masters. Alright, but know that if you don't give me that information, it will be quite expensive to create an ID. Are you okay with that?"

The guy didn't suspect Krune's group since for Core Formation Realm cultivators to arrive on a planet through a spatial gate, they had to have some strong elders in their Clan or Sect. Even if they were some fugitives from somewhere, with their cultivation level, they wouldn't be able to do anything in this place either.

Krune's group immediately nodded. They didn't expect that everything could be settled that easy with Spirit Stones.

"Very well. The fee for the Tribulation Issue is 324 Rank 7 Spirit Stones. As for the IDs, it is 127 Rank 8 Spirit Stones for each one."

Krune's group almost fainted! That's too damn expensive!

But it was then that Krune thought about a possibility and asked the guy.

"By the way, if we had to work to pay for the transgression, how long would it take?"

The man didn't mind and answered.

"I reckon that if it is the four of you, it would probably take around a year and a half to pay for everything."

Ruik opened his eyes wide!

"Only one year and a half to pay for that amount?!"

Krune, on the other hand, just nodded. It was exactly as he thought.

He then explained to Ruik and the others through a Divine Sense.

"Did you forget the description that we received about this Universe? All the powerful Universes out there send their population here for training. It goes without saying that a lot of high-level Spirit Stones arrive in this place every single day. It might look a lot for us, but for them, this is nothing much."

Feifei and everyone else nodded after hearing that. They had to admit that Krune's thought made sense. Fortunately, both the Wang Clan and the Divine Path Sect had given a lot of high-rank Spirit Stone for Krune and Feifei just in case. So they could still pay for those fees. Still, it was evident that their reserves won't last for long in a place like this.

Krune looked at everyone and shrugged his shoulders.

"In other words, we will have to work!"
