Is That A Wisp? Chapter 392
Advertisement
Feifei soon finished absorbing all the Spiritual Energy she needed and took a deep breath.
"Hungry as ever."
She stood up and then restarted the practice with the Flying Sword. In the end, she nodded, satisfied.
"That's more or less it. I hope you guys can make another eight like this to me."
This time, Krune couldn't hold his curiosity.
"Why nine swords?"
Feifei smiled after hearing that question.
"My Clan believes that nine is an auspicious number. So a lot of things there they use multiple of nine. I grew up in this environment, so I also like to think that nine will give me luck. If I had asked for more swords, I would jump straight to eighteen."
Krune didn't care about such things, but if Feifei is okay with it, then so be it.
Yanvlal and Krune then returned to the blacksmith room with Feifei to restart the forging process. All nine swords took around 5 days to be finished. Feifei then tested the Swords outside and couldn't help but smile. Especially after seeing that Purple Flame effect. Even though it looked like a flame, it didn't get in the way of her Water Element or Sub-Laws.
After Feifei finished, she accessed the network to look for a good Flying Swords Array. With the money their group has now, they can get access to top skills. Soon, she found an array that caught her attention called Nine in Nine Swords Transformation. After reading the description, it turned out that the technique had several levels, and each one needed an extra nine Flying Swords to be used.
'A total of 12 levels and not considered complete yet. I guess I will go with it then.'
Sometime later, Dilo arrived at the Blacksmith Room. His Sword would be the last one to be forged. Different from Feifei, Dilo's actual Sword is not a Spiritual Equipment. He is a close-quarters attacker, so he uses his Sword with his own hands. Of course, it would be better if his new Sword could be made as a Spiritual Equipment. After all, if he loses the grasp of it during a battle, he could immediately call it back. It's just that Spiritual Equipments are always a lot more expensive, so he had only used a normal one so far.
He already knew exactly how his Sword would be since he used the old one for a long time. During the entire forging process, there were very few things that Dilo asked to change. After coming out to test, sword intent spread out while Dilo used several Sword Techniques. There were even some that he invented himself. Dilo wasn't considered a wealthy guy in the past, so he couldn't pay for expensive ones.

Because Krune had used part of the remaining Kaleu Tribulation Steel, Dilo's Sword turned out to be very compatible with his recently learned Lightning Sub-laws. Krune also liked the fact that he could fill the Sword with Tribulation Lightning, which Dilo could use for a surprise attack if needed. Finally, the Purple Flame effect once more increased the prowess of the Sword by several stages.
With this, Krune and Yanvlal finally finished all the forgings. Dilo and Krune then paid him for the works. That night, Krune cooked a feast for him and everyone else as well. This is almost like a ritual for Krune and his group. It also helped then to rest their minds after keeping training all the time.
The next day, Yanvlal Surrigel returned to the Blacksmith Organization in the Wisp World 9. He was, after all, its manager. Arriving there, he opened his communicator and reported everything to the Blacksmith Organization about his forging process. Of course, he had already informed Krune that the Organization asked him for that. Krune, on the other hand, didn't mind it at all. Other than the Purple Flame, his forging is pretty much like anyone else after all.
Sure enough, Yanvlal explained everything he understood about the Purple Flame. The fact that it was made through the use of Tribulation Lightning, or that the flame used the same principle of the blue flames. He could also see with his Divine Sense that it was the hydrogen and oxygen burning process that changed the equipment; that for some reason, they carried the properties of the Purple Flame into them.
The problem is, even the Blacksmith Organization didn't know how Krune achieved that. It is not like some of the Universes with Lightning type Heavenly Tribulations haven't got Tribulation Lightning Users. After so long, the number of those who tried to use the Blue Flames process with Tribulation Lightning was not so small either. Some had even succeeded in that, but their Tribulation Flame didn't increase the attack power of equipments forged with it. If anything, they only made the forging process easier or harder.
Yanvlal Surrigel knew that Krune was right, his Purple Flames is not something that can be copied. There is definitely something special to Krune's Purple Flames that no other Tribulation Lightning could replicate.
Back in the Wisp Main World, Krune decided to spend his time with Feifei from now on. After all, it was evident that their little girl wouldn't take more than two or three weeks to come out. It would also give them a few weeks before they needed to keep their promise with Hobbek and Rania.

Feifei took that opportunity to start practicing the Weapon Formation Inscribing. But sure enough, it was as hard as she expected. Even with her Destiny Core and several days, she hasn't succeeded even once. There was a reason why Formations Masters only tried it after they went up to the Diamond Stars Level. That is because their control over the elements and laws would be much better in the Void Breaking Realm than it is in the Divine Soul. However, Feifei wasn't dishearted. Every fail brought her close to success.
The main problem of Weapons Formations Inscribing is the size of the Formation and its resilience. It had to carry all the habilities of the Formation, and above all else, it had to resist the process of a battle. So, on top of the Formation abilities, there was a need to have another overlapped protection Formation. That Formation can't impact the equipment's user either.
All in all, it was several times more difficult than making a regular formation.
Time passed, and two weeks went by. By now, Tiane also stayed beside Feifei as much as possible. Cinty had also prepared the room where Feifei would give birth and those who would help her with it. Even though the Wisp Worlds were mostly filled with wisps, it didn't mean that other cultivators and demon beasts didn't live there. So it wasn't hard to find a few women who knew how to help.
Suddenly, Feifei shouted.
"Success!"
Krune and Tiane looked at Feifei's bright smile while she held one of her Swords.
"Did it work?"
Feifei nodded.
"I finally got the Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy connection formation working with a protection formation on top of that. All of them are at the Five Golden Stars Level as well!"
The Spiritual and Elemental Source connection formation can link Feifei's dantian to the Sword itself trough the Space Laws. Through that, she will not need to bring the swords back to her side to recharge them with those energies. It can be transferred directly into the Swords.
The main advantage of such a formation is evident. Feifei won't need to worry about the Flying Swords running out of energy during a battle. It will allow her to use the Sword's properties without stopping.
Krune, too, had to always pay attention to his Shields Spiritual Energy. If one thinks about Krune's old battles, his Flying Shields weren't always present. He was used to keeping them in his Spatial Ring and not use them unless he was against a strong foe.
But if Feifei inscribes such a formation in his Flying Shields, Krune will have no need to hold back anymore.
Tiane and Krune were feeling happy for her when suddenly, Feifei felt some pain coming from her belly. Krune and Tiane's expression immediately changed, seeing that. Right after, some liquid started to run down from the chair.
Krune didn't feel afraid, though. He is the type who likes to make a through and through research about everything. So he had long since looked into the birth process of a human. So far, Feifei's pregnancy had been remarkably similar to a normal human couple. If there was any difference, it was the fact that the pregnancy took an extra three months and that his child started to cultivate even before leaving the womb.
"Oh! Let's bring her to the room, the labor process has just started."
Everything was already prepared for that, so Krune was at ease. Through his Divine Sense and the information he got, he could see that nothing was going different from expected. The only thing that bothered him was the fact that Feifei looked to be in pain. Still, that was also part of the process. Fortunately, as a cultivator, such a thing was not exactly a problem for Feifei, either.
It is common for fathers to wait outside, but Krune didn't give a damn to customs, so he stayed in the room and observed the entire process. Feifei knew that asking him to leave would be meaningless since he had a powerful Divine Sense. He would still be able to see anything he wanted. Besides, his 'as-expected' face while looking at what was happening made her feel a lot safer.
One must remember that this is definitely not the first time that Krune or Feifei saw the process of birth. In fact, most cultivators or demon beasts in the Core Formation Realm or above probably have seen it at least once. After all, just how big their Divine Senses are? Every time Krune, Feifei, or any one of their group stays in a big city with millions of residents, they are bound to catch a glimpse of some woman giving birth somewhere. It would have been a miracle if they hadn't seen it instead.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?

And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
