Is That A Wisp? Chapter 344
Advertisement
"Hello there! My name is Mohie Zarks, but I guess you already know that."
Krune's group looked at him and confirmed.
"Yes, we have seen a few pictures of you on the wall in the previous Bubble Realms."
Zarks smiled and nodded.
"That was really me. Well, the real me, to be more specific. As you can guess, this is nothing more than a will left behind."
Zarks expression then became serious.
"Anyway, I wasn't intending to appear anytime soon. But while I was observing everyone passing through the Realms, I've noticed something peculiar."
Zarks then looked at Krune and asked.
"Your Tribulation Lightning, it came from the Luvile Universe, right?"
Krune and Feifei were taken aback while Joiu had a puzzled face.
Still, Krune soon remembered something.
"I see... In the information that we found in one of the Jade Slips, you commented that you had been to the Luvile Universe in the past. That's why you can recognize the power of the Tribulation Lightning, right?"
Zarks nodded.
"Exactly! Still, I didn't expect that Wally would send you here, that was quite unexpected."
Krune and Feifei really got shocked this time. Not because he knew about Wally, though. But because he talked in a way that it looked like he knew Wally personally.
"Have you met him before?"
Zarks nodded.
"I did, the one who gave me that Treasure that you saw on the wall pictures was none other than him. Well, that thing got me tormented by a certain someone who was also part of the Mohie Clan, though."
Zarks continued.
"That thing is called a Tribulation Jade, and it can not be found in the Lower Realms."
Light Spirit then immediately sent Krune a message.
"Oh! So that's how it is. The Tribulation Jade is an item from the higher realms. It is something that can help against the Tribulation. If you use it in the Higher Realms, the power of the early Tribulations could be reduced by 1/3. But if you use it here in the Lower Realms, it should be twice as effective at the very least. No wonder this guy got pursued."
Krune got puzzled.
"Is there really a need to go after him because of that? After all, they were from the same Clan. Also, anyone can still pass the Tribulation on their own."
Luvile sighed and then explained.
"You don't understand. Have you ever asked your Master or anyone else about how many Cultivators and Demon Beasts are successful during the Ascencion Tribulation?"
Krune had to admit that he hasn't.
"Is it difficult?"

Luvile laughed and then said.
"Usually, not even 1% are successful in overcoming it."
Krune was frightened by that number! But that also explained why Mohie Zarks got pursued. Something that can reduce the power of the Ascension Tribulation by that extent is definitely a heaven-defying treasure. At least, it is in the eyes of a Peak Divinity Realm Cultivator or Demon Beast. Since it is twice as effective in the Lower Realms, it probably means that the power of the Tribulation can be reduced by more than half!
Luvile then continued.
"That's not all. After you reach the Divine Path Realm, you will gain immortality. You probably noticed already, right? Even when you are not cultivating, your Core still absorbs a little amount of Spiritual Energy all the time. So even if you don't cultivate, your cultivation will still increase, albeit very slowly."
Krune nodded.
"Yes, but if I rely on it to cultivate, I will die 100 times out of life span before reaching the Divine Path Realm. Even someone with a higher life span wouldn't be able to rely on it."
Luvile agreed with him.
"Yes, but unless someone kills you after you reach the Divine Path Realm, you will eventually reach the Peak of the Divinity Realm. Of course, you also need to surpass each Cultivation Realm Tribulation. Anyway, everyone is crazy about gaining power. So the number of Cultivators and Demon Beasts that decide to stop cultivating after that is almost nonexistent."
Krune understood where Light Spirit was coming from.
"I see, it means that sooner or later, one will have to fight against the Ascencion Tribulation. When that time comes, they will probably die. So that's why Zarks' Tribulation Jade is so important. A Tribulation with half or less of its total strength can increase the chances of success several times. Any Divinity Realm would go crazy for this thing."
Although Krune and Light Spirit's talk seemed to take a long time, the fact was that it was done through their soul connection, so it took just a second in the real world.
Mohie Zarks then continued to explain.
"Anyway, I guess Wally sent you here to test yours and your friends' power, right? I have to say, that was quite a risky move considering the level of your cultivation. Wally should have quite some confidence in you."
Krune and Feifei got even more puzzled now.
"What you mean with we were sent here? I've never met Wally in my life before, nor have we ever talked with each other."
Zarks was the one to look at Krune puzzled now.

"He didn't send you here? Then how did you find this place?"
Krune then explained how they found that Jade Slip when they arrived at the Hakasha Galaxy. The fact that his group paid 100 thousand Rank 7 Spirit Stones, etc...
But it was at this moment that Krune noticed something.
"I'm an idiot!"
Feifei knew that Krune noticed something.
"What is it, what did you find?"
Krune then said.
"Think with me. This Mohie Zarks is the same Mohie Zarks from the Luvile Universe. Now we came to the Dalin Universe, and we just so happen to bump on his Inheritance. We are talking about an entire Universe here. What were the chances of finding this exact Inheritance, which was built by Mohie Zarks himself?"
Feifei immediately understood.
"It is nearly impossible!"
Krune nodded.
"It is just too much to expect from fate alone. That demon beast, Turin, he was there selling Mohie Zarks Jade Slip on purpose. He wanted us to see it! Sure enough, we ate the bait, and here we are."
Krune also added.
"It doesn't end here. We are pretty sure that Uer is one of the Heavenly Fragment Owners of the Luvile Universe, right? Once again, just what are the chances of we meeting him in this place? Just how big can a Universe be? Most likely, he was also guided to this place without noticing. All for the sake of meeting us here!"
Mohie Zarks heard everything and then laughed.
"So that's how it is! I wonder if that demon beast that you saw was really a Core Formation Realm one or if he was Wally himself. Hahaha!"
Krune sighed and then decided to ask.
"So, why did Wally give you that thing to start with?"
Zarks shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Let's just say that I had something Wally wanted, and he had something I wanted. That's all."
"Oh! As for the Tribulation Jade, you will not find it anywhere. Considering that time that has passed, my real self probably has used it already. Still, this castle of mine has quite a few treasures, artifacts, spiritual equipment, resources, and others."
Krune nodded.
"Does it mean that you are going to help us?"
Zarks immediately shook his head.
"That's not gonna happen. The order left by my real self is that I should not intervene in the Inheritance Trials. So whether you succeed or die, it will have nothing to do with me. So you three better be prepared for everything."
Feifei then decided to ask something else.
"Then, why exactly did you build this Dimensional Realm for? Was there really a need to finish it before you left for the Luvile Universe?"
Zarks nodded.
"There was. Although it is indeed an Inheritance, there was another reason as to why I built it. This place was made like this so that I wouldn't alert anyone when I left for the Luvile Universe. Because of the several 'Bubble Realms' around this last one, any prying inside was extremely hard to be done."
"As you probably know, the Dalin Universe is monitored at all times. When someone opens a Spatial Gate from another Universe to here, the management will immediately notice. That is to prevent cultivators and demon beasts from other Universes from sneaking inside undetected. So, it goes without saying that the opposite is also valid."
"To open a Spatial Gate to the Luvile Universe without anyone noticing is an arduous task. If I was caught, anyone could tell where I was going to. Fortunately, as one of the higher-ranked elders of the Mohie Clan, I also knew how the monitoring is done. The whole process of building this Inheritance was so that I could leave without leaving any trace."
"Of course, such a thing is only possible if you are leaving. The opposite definitely wouldn't work."
Krune and Feifei then remembered how Cilia knew about a passage to this place that wasn't monitored. Of course, they wouldn't talk about it. But thanks to that, what Zarks thought to be impossible was now possible.
"Is it really okay to tell us all of that?"
Mohie Zarks shrugged his shoulder and replied.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I was already at the peak of the Divinity Realm when I got that Tribulation Jade. That means that I was just a few thousands of years away from being forced to take the Ascencion Tribulation. By now, there are only two outcomes. I succeeded and Ascended, or I failed and died. Whatever happened, telling everything now makes no difference. I just needed a place where I couldn't be found while healed my injuries."
Zarks then looked at the three of them and said.
"Anyway, we have talked too much already. I've been keeping you, and all the other participants looked until now. The others are starting to get restless. As for the exit of this Realm, it is somewhere inside the castle. I wish you good luck. Oh! And make sure to send my compliments to Wally if you see him in the future."
Mohie Zarks left, and the protection formation locking Krune's group disappeared too.
