Krune sighed and then said.

"No can do, this thing is too hard to make. Besides, money is not something I lack at the moment."

​​

Laka looked at Krune with a crying face, but Krune did not relent.

"What if I act as your bodyguard in that idiot's place? I'm a lot stronger than him."

Laex, of course, was having a lot of fun seeing this guy.

"Hahaha! Laka, give up already. Krune is a Major Divine Soul Wisp, so he can't go out much. When I worked as his bodyguard, the Dalin Universe Management didn't know about him. But now, things are different. Even I am not of much help."

Laka glared at Laex and then greeted his teeth.

"I'm willing to bring you all with me to the Holy Land."

Immediately, Laex's expression changed.

"Don't spurt bullshit. Are the slots of the Holy Land something you can touch? It was already hard for your Universe to get a slot for you, let alone get a slot for all of us."

Krune and the others were utterly puzzled.

"What is this Holy Land?"

Laex looked at them and said.

"The Holy Land is a Dimensional Realm left behind by one of those Ascenders from the past. You remember that Wally fought several cultivators and demon beasts of the Higher Realms, right? After they finished their battle and reached that agreement, the ascenders returned to the higher Realm. Still, some of them stayed longer, one of them was called Sentoi Havan stayed behind for longer."

Suddenly, a Spatial Gate appeared, and Cinty came out of it. She didn't even look at Krune, but straight at Laka instead.

"Are you really capable of bringing us there?"

Laka patted his chest.

"I definitely can!"

Krune and the others were surprised to see Cinty appearing as soon as this topic came out.

Noticing their attention, Cinty turned around and continued Laex's story.

"As Laex said, Sentoi Havan was an Ascender. Not only that but also one of the strongest ones who descended during the fight against Wally. At least, that is what is said in the information left behind during that time. As for the Holy Land, you can think about it as a cultivation paradise."

"From what I know, the Holy Land has a small connection between it and the Higher Realms. Of course, you can't enter the Higher Realms through it. But because of this connection, the place is basked with the Higher Realm's Energy."

Krune couldn't help but stop Cinty there.

"Wait! I might not be familiar with the Higher Realms, but I read in the network that the Energy from there is not something that we can resist. Even a Divinity Realm cultivator would have to give his all to not be killed by that. What use does that have to cultivators and demon beasts of our level?"

Laex nodded and continued from where Cinty stopped.

"You are right. However, Sentoi prepared that Realm for the cultivators of the Dalin Universe. From what I know, he, too, was a cultivator who ascended from this place. Since he was already here, he made this Holy Land before going back."

"Sentoi was a brilliant guy with exceptional abilities with formations. He made a formation that keeps the Holy Land connection with the Higher Realms ON almost forever. Also, that connection is only enough to let a tiny amount of Energy to pass over time. That Energy is then separated over the entire Holy Land, reducing its effect by several times."

Cinty agreed with Laex.

"The Holy Land is one of the most famous Dimensional Realms of the entire Dalin Universe. It has several levels, and the higher you go, the stronger the Energy of the Higher Realms is. Oh, by the way, this Energy is also called God Energy."

Laka showed a confident expression and continued.

"The Holy Land only opens once every 1000 years. Fortunately, it is beginning just a few years before the Heavenly Competition, so the amount of Heavenly Fragment and Divine Soul Owners coming this time is no joke. Every Universe with some influence pulled every trick possible to send their own contestants inside."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"But is it safe for us? I mean, with so many powerhouses behind this event, wouldn't it be an extremely high risk for me and the others? First of all, if Cinty and I appear there, they might have some kind of formation that forces us into our Real form. Once they see us, we are done for."

Laka laughed out loud after hearing that.

"They would be courting death if they did that. There are just too many Demon Beasts going there now, and keeping their race hidden is also considered a trump card. If they Dalin Universe really did something like that, they would be too biased to the human race. Remember that the Dalin Universe is not composed of humans alone. If you separate humans and demon beasts without caring for the demon beasts' races, there are definitely more demon beasts."

"Also, it is not only the demon beasts who want to conceal their real forms and appearances but the famous human cultivators too. After all, between those who are participating in the Heavenly Competition or are trying to, many are already known by their abilities. So they, too, are most likely using different appearances this time around."

"Besides..."

Laka looked at Cinty and said with a smile.

"Who would believe that the Wisp Queen is idiot enough to leave her Wisp Main World now that they know about your real cultivation?"

Sure enough, Laka also received the information about Cinty's event.

Krune pondered a bit and then asked.

"Leaving aside whether you can or not bring us in. What guarantees are there that you won't be the one exposing our real identities?"

Laka shrugged his shoulder and simply looked at Laex.

Laex, of course, understood what he meant.

"There is no need to worry. This idiot and I will be using the Dragon Blood Pact. Am I right?"

Laka nodded.

"As long as I can get this Purple Flame Dragon Pearl, I'm willing to do almost anything."

"Dragon Pact?"

Cinty knows about this, so she explained in Laex's instead.

"This is a technique of the Dragon Race. It uses the blood of both sides to seal a deal. Whatever the conditions are agreed beforehand, it won't be possible for both parties to break. It is quite similar to the Blood Contracts, it is just that it only works for those with Dragon Blood. Also, both sides have to have at least 50% of Dragon Blood concentration."

Laex nodded.

"She is right. As I said before, 80% of Laka's blood is from the Dragon Race, with only 20% being from the Phoenix side. That is more than enough for the pact to take place."

Laex sighed and added.

"Well, to be honest, I don't think that this idiot would break his promise even without the Dragon Pact."

Laka laughed after hearing that.

"It is good that you know me."

Krune nodded and then asked.

"Alright, since Laex is sure, then we can move forward. Now, the Holy Land slots were supposed to be very hard to get, so how will you bring us inside?"
