The Sealed Spaces around the Godly Energy Veins opened once every year or so. However, there were quite a few Godly Veins, so there were quite a few Sealed spaces. That being said, it wouldn't take long for the next one to open.

Krune talked with Tulike and told him that Iem was no weaker than himself, so he would like to have him coming. Tulike didn't mind accepting it since he participated in the same Sect Entrance test with them. He knows that Krune is telling the truth.

​​

"Oh, right! Why did you participate in the exam if you are a member of the sect?"

Tulike laughed before saying.

"That's because it is fun. I like to compete against the new disciples every time they appear. I can see several types of abilities and get a lot of experience from it too."

Krune pondered a bit and had to admit it was true, especially now during the wartime. A good example were those members of the Rermil Clan, which came to enjoy the benefits. They were very strong, without a doubt.

Later, Krune went to the Formations Master Guild and called Iem out.

"What is it?"

Krune then explained everything that happened. Iem's eyes lit up when he heard that he would be able to enter the Godly Veins' Sealed Spaces. That would be perfect for him since he could battle other stronger opponents with cultivation above his own. Not to mention the merit point he would acquire. However, he was in doubt about something.

"Are you sure it is okay to believe them? It seems kinda fishy."

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

"What do you think an 8th Stage Divine View Realm 'cultivator' could do if they wanted to catch me? But in the end, they didn't, so I guess it is fine to trust their side. Besides, I can't leave Nina and Lino like that. Don't worry, as long as we don't reveal our Heavenly Fragments or Core, we should be fine. If they suspected that we had such things, we wouldn't be walking freely like now."

Iem nodded in the end.

"Hahaha! Great! Then I'm looking forward to the day the next Godly Vein opens."

Krune nodded and was just about to leave when he remembered something else.

"Oh, right! With the merit points we got when we joined the sect, we can buy a few things already. I'm going to use it to get some materials to forge new Purple Flame Shields. I already got used to their forging system and can make similarly strong equipment. You know the effect of my Purple Flame Equipments, do you want me to forge you anything?"

Iem shook his head.

"You should have understood already that my beast weapon is my crystalization ability. Your weapons are powerful, but I still prefer to rely on my body. Just concentrate on your own things."

Krune nodded.

"By the way, can you already draw equipment formations? My shields usually use Energy Transfering Formations, so I would like to have the same thing with my new ones."

Iem patted his chest before saying.

"Don't worry. I might not have finished comprehending the God-Level formations completely, but I do know enough to make a few equipment formations. Just pass your shields to me, and I'll draw the energy transfer formations on them."

Krune was delighted to hear that. He could use his shields without those formations, but it wouldn't be the same thing. He would need to keep track of how much energy they still had. Fortunately, Iem can do that for him.

"Excellent! I'm going back to prepare everything. Oh, right! The sect will send information about when the next sealed space opens, so pay attention to your communicator."

Iem nodded, and the two separated.

Krune made his way back to his restaurant. Looking at the closed doors, he couldn't help but sigh. Still, he quickly put those thoughts behind and entered, quickly making his way to his room. After that, he opened his communicator and accessed the Blacksmith Network.

'Let's see, good conductor materials... I don't know much about the metals available in the Godly Path Realm, so it will take some time to browse everything. Perhaps I can find Lightning Tribulation ores here too... No, that wouldn't happen. Tribulations only occur at the Mortal Rejection Realm Breakthrough. That means that any Tribulation Ore would be at that level as well, I wouldn't be able to use it.'

Krune then switched to ordinary lightning type materials and spent his next two days looking for it. Finally, he found something that caught his attention.

-Hundred Years Myriad Lightning Ores.-

'Oh! This Lightning Metal is artificially made by the Thunderclap Sect. They use five types of lightings to nurture it for a hundred years, transforming into an ore highly compatible with various lightning abilities.'

Krune kept reading the description and couldn't help but nod, satisfied. It wasn't any heaven-defying material, but it was quite a good one. Besides, it could be acquired with the number of merit points he got from passing the Sect Entrance Exam. As for the Godly Stones, his years working as Spiritual Chef got him more than enough to pay for them.

Krune quickly went back to the Blacksmith Hall in the sect and passed his badge over. The disciple there retracted his merit points and received the Godly Stones payment.

"The Thunderclap Sect confirmed your order. They will send it via teleportation in an hour. You can wait in your workshop, and we will deliver it to you as soon as it arrives."

Krune thanked the disciple and did as he said. After one hour or so, Krune got his new ores delivered in his room. He quickly closed the concealing formation after that and began his forging.

Krune could already forge Stars View Equipment, which was also his own level. The Sky Shifting Sect workshop was also very good for the refinement of the ores. Krune was really having a good time while he prepared his new shields.

In just half a day, Krune finished his first Myriad Lightning Shield. He raised it and infused Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning.

'Great! The Purple Tribulation Lightning can run unimpeded. Although it is not as good as a Tribulation Lightning-Type Ore, it is still more than enough for my level.'

Krune then filled it with his Spiritual Energy. Sure enough, ethereal purple flames appeared around it. Not only that, but his Purple Flames effect seemed a lot more potent than before.

'Is it because I made the shield using Godly Energy?'

Luvile understood what Krune was thinking.

"Don't forget, my Purple Tribulation Lightning and its Laws originated in the Higher Realms. Obviously, it is several times better with Godly Energy. You Purple Flames are made with it, so they obviously increased the power of the Purple Flames on the finished product."

Krune nodded.

"This is good enough already."

Krune then put that Myriad Lightning Shield in his Spatial Ring and began to forge the next ones.

While he was doing it, Zule looked trough the process. After Krune finished his fifth shield, Zule couldn't hold his curiosity anymore and asked.

"I've never seen this kind of effect in a piece of equipment before. Do you think you could use it to reforge the equipment I'm in?"

Krune was taken aback.

"Reforge your the treasure holding you? Aren't you a Nascent God Level equipment? I don't think I can do that. Besides, yours is a piece of broken equipment, no? Wouldn't it be risky? I don't know how it was forged, so chances are that I would completely break your pyramid treasure in the process. If that happens, you will lose most of your power to control space. Maybe even your sentience will be damaged or destroyed. You must understand that this Purple Flame is really tyrannical, so I'm not sure how much it could affect you."

Zule didn't seem to mind, though.

"It's okay. Since I'm the one inside, I obviously know very well how it was forged. Besides, I don't think I'll ever be able to conceal myself from the Nascent Gods if I keep the treasure broken. If you want me to be gone one day, I will have to get fixed."

Krune narrowed his eyes and pondered a bit about it.

"First, I want you to give me all the information about your forging process. Only then can I give you an answer on whether I can do it or not."

Zule's small projection eyes lit up.

"Great! I'll send everything through Divine Sense message."

Krune nodded and closed his eyes. Right after, Zule's Divine Sense spread as it passed Krune everything he needed to know. Krune couldn't help but be impressed the more he committed that information to memory. The level of the person who forged it was far beyond his. He found out many things that he could also use in his forging in the future. Truly, it was a wonder!

However, he soon narrowed his eyes.

"I think I can reforge you, but we have two main issues."

Krune took a deep breath and continued.

"First, it is my cultivation and skill level. I definitely won't be able to do such a thing as a Divine View Realm and Stars View Level Blacksmith. At the very least, the Divinity Realm Cultivation and Divinity Stars Blacksmith Level will be necessary."

"Last and most important, the materials! Most of them can be found in the Blacksmith Network, but they are rare and expensive. However, the main issue is that one of those items is too hard to acquire. I doubt we will see it selling either. I will need a Condensed Space Fragment."
