The time didn't stop in the Luvile Universe either. Back then, the Darkness Sacred Land had employed its full force into searching for the remaining Time, Space, Blackhole Heavenly Fragments. In the end, their efforts proved rewarding.

On a planet called Tirank, they were able to find a cultivator called Askol Jofen. The planet of Tirank was a remote one, with cultivators and demon beasts not being able to go over the Soul Forging Realm. It was pretty much at the same level as Makui. The only difference is that it was a lot further away from the powers controlling this region. Thanks to that, no one noticed Askol's presence until now.

​​

Askol turned out to be a genius, easily dominating everyone in the same generation. When he was only twenty, he broke through the Divine Soul Realm. At the age of 32 years, he entered the Soul Forging Realm!

Don't look down on this cultivation speed. Considering the environment Askol grew up in, that is already a frightening speed of advancement. Around a year ago, an emissary of the Darkness Sacred Land arrived at the Tirank Planet. Using his authority, he made all the cultivators and demon beasts from the big sects look for heaven-defying geniuses.

Not too surprisingly, he quickly heard about Askol, who surpassed everyone else in battle prowess and cultivation speed. When the emissary went to test Askol himself, the later was able to escape his pursuit by using his comprehension of the Space Laws. The emissary is at the Void Breaking Realm. For a 1st Stage Soul Forging Realm to be able to escape from him, he immediately understood that perhaps he found the right person.

Instead of keep searching for him, the emissary immediately contacted the Darkness Sacred Land. Sure enough, the Darkness Sacred Land was desperate to find a Heavenly Fragment Owner. With this sudden news, they immediately sent a Divinity Realm over.

With a simple Divine Sense scan over the entire planet, that Divinity Realm quickly found Askol. It doesn't matter how impressive a Space Major Divine Soul is, the difference in cultivation was simply too big! The Divinity Realm guy's comprehension of the Space Laws far surpassed Askol's.

Askol couldn't understand how he offended such a terrifying existence. But not too long after he was confirmed to have the Space Heavenly Fragment, the elders of the Darkness Sacred Land explained everything to him. With no other choice, Askol went back to the Darkness Sacred Land with the Divinity Realm elder. In exchange, the Darkness Sacred Land had to treat his family and sect properly.

The elders of the Sacred Land knew that acquiring Askol's loyalty was the first step. So they immediately helped his sect become the strongest one in the Tirank Planet. As for his family, they helped them with pills, cultivation techniques, and other things. It wouldn't take too long for his parents to soar in cultivation, which pleased Askol very much.

In the next two years, Askol stayed in the Darkness Sacred Land cultivating in seclusion. He spent too much time on that remote planet, which severely affected his cultivation techniques, foundation, soul power, etc. His cultivation in the last two years didn't change much, only going from the 1st to the 4th stage of the Soul Forging Realm.

His overall abilities were another story, though. Things like top cultivation techniques, Top skills, Foundation Enhancement Methods, etc. All of that improved several times under the Sacred land's watch. His comprehension over the Space Sub-Laws also soared with the help of the elders.

The Darkness Sacred land finally had one more Heavenly Fragment Owner! Better than that, Askol was not like Uer, who was always a keg of gunpowder that could explode at any second. He was easy to talk and quickly adapted to the Darkness Sacred Land rules.

At the same time, Trata (the Earth Beaver) and the mountain girl were traveling from one planet to another.

Back then, when Trata was given a choice to help the sects or the mountain girl, he ended choosing the mountain girl in the end.

He was also the one to name her, choosing Lia as the name. Lia seemed to like that name a lot, so she quickly accepted it.

Obviously, the sects couldn't let things be over like that, so they tried all means possible to convince her to stay and go back to her Mountain Form. The mountain girl, obviously, immediately refused that. She had spent her entire life as a mountain, not being able to move at all! Who the hell would go back to that form? She would only do so when she needed to cultivate.

She simply grabbed Trata and went somewhere else. With her power, no one on this planet could force her to do anything. Besides, she would appear with Trata somewhere and then disappear again. So the powers of this planet had a hard time finding her. At some point, a new mountain would appear somewhere on the planet. That was Lia passing her time cultivating with Trata. But when the sects and other powers finally caught news of her presence, she would already be gone from that place.

Lia and Trata entered several different cities. With Trata's help, Lia learned how to write and read too. She also came to understand how the cultivation world worked. At first, Trata and Lia were trapped inside that planet since there were no Long Distance Teleport Formations. But at some point, a Space Ship from the powers controlling that region arrived.

Trata and Lia quickly reached an agreement with the troupe inside, and they brought those two away from there. Obviously, they had no idea that she has the Blackhole Heavenly Fragment. Or to be more precise, they aren't anyone important, so they didn't even know about the Heavenly Fragments to start with.

As a Blackhole Major Divine Soul and with a Blackhole Heavenly Fragment Owner, Lia's cultivation speed was simply frightening. Especially when she assumed her mountain form. When that happened, the entire extension of the mountain was her body! So all of that could be used to absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. It could be said that her true form and her Blackhole Divine Soul were basically made for each other. At the moment, she was already in the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, and it didn't seem like her speed was going down at all.

Trata also used those moments when she was back into her Mountain Form to cultivate. With so much Spiritual ENergy coming down, even his cultivation increased several times. Especially considering that Lia was purposely making a lot of Spiritual Energy pass through the place where Trata was. By now, Trata was already in the 5th Stage of the Core Formation Realm, which is impressive considering his previous Early Stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Trata simply couldn't thank Lia enough.

Lia had another big advantage. She more or less could understand the mountains! It was as if Lia could even talk to them. Thanks to that, it was easy for her to find deposits of Spirit Stones anywhere she went. It helped a lot with their travel expenses. At some point, the two of them also acquired two communicators. After learning how to use it, they started to buy the available cultivation techniques and skills. Of course, compared to the Dalin Universe's ones, those examples aren't even worth mentioning.

There was no helping it. In the Luvile Universe, any rare cultivation techniques, skills, soul techniques, etc. were considered the Sects, Clans, and Organizations' treasures. So one wouldn't be able to find them for buying over the Luvile Universe's network.

Today, Trata and Lia were cultivating. Suddenly, Lia felt like someone's Divine Sense passing over the place they were staying. The two had come to a remote region so that they wouldn't be bothered. Mainly because she was in her mountain form. Transforming back to her original form elsewhere would attract too much attention.

Not long after, A man and a woman appeared above her mountain body. The woman was a Demon Beast, while the man was a Cultivator.

The man looked at the woman and asked.

"Are you sure it is here?"

*sniff, sniff.*

After using her nose, the woman nodded.

"Yes. Although the smell is different, it is also very familiar. How can I saw it... It is as if they are from the same type and at the same time not."

The man looked around and could only see the mountain.

"You first felt this smell a few planets away close to a Long Distance Teleport Formation. By following the path of the scent, we went through one teleport formation after another. So whatever it is, should be important."

The woman nodded, and the two of them landed on Lia's mountain body. Trata was also there, but because Lia was the mountain itself, she could use her form to hide Trata.

"Weird... How come there is so much Spirit Energy in this place?"

The female demon beast nodded and said.

"Not only that, but the smell is also the strongest here as well. We should be able to see where it was coming from. Still, there is nothing, unless..."

Suddenly, the woman transformed back into her demon beast form. She had white fur, wolf appearance, and some arcs of purple lightning running through her body. It turns out that she is none else other than Ula, the Moon Wolf. As for the man beside her, it is Ao Sulian, Krune's long life friend!
