Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 402 Hatching

On their way back, Krune told Feifei that Light Spirit had finally awoken again. After hearing that, she wanted to talk with him, but as always, Light Spirit didn't say a single word. Heavin, who saw that, pestered him for five hours without stop! Finally, Light Spirit gave up and decided to exchange a few words. He spread his Divine Sense and soon found Feifei in another place.

"What you want?"

Feifei was surprised when she heard that voice. But she soon recognized that voice from when they were saved in the Mohie Zarks Inheritance.

"I just wanted to thank you for what you had done for me back in the Mohie Zarks Inheritance."

Light Spirit didn't seem very moved.

"There is no need. I did that so that the idiot wisp wouldn't act like that again. If you are strong enough, there will be no need for him to throw himself in front of an attack."

Feifei nodded. She was already expecting this much anyway.

"Still, I'm very grateful."

After saying that, the room became silent, which made the situation quite awkward. Feifei quickly thought about several ideas when she suddenly remembered one thing. Feifei then brought Fie outside of the pocket Dimensional Realm, who just so happen to be sleeping again.

"Have you seen our child already?"

Light Spirit's interest was finally picked.

"I saw her when you went to take your Heavenly Tribulation. As expected, the girl also turned out to be as colorful as the idiot wisp."

For some reason, Feifei felt like Light Spirit's voice got a little more tender when he talked about Fie.

"Right?! Although I can't say that I wasn't expecting that, it was still a surprise to see her rainbow-like hair and eyes. But did you see the wisp ethereal body effect?"

Light Spirit got puzzled.

"Effect? What effect?"

Feifei then explained about the fact that sometimes, Fie's body would release colorful energy around her, just like Krune's wisp form. She also told that because of the Wisp Core, Fie could float as well. Of course, Cinty had already explained that once Fie manages to control her Spiritual Energy, both the Wisp body effect and the float thing can be controlled.

Light Spirit couldn't help but laugh.

"Now, that's quite an interesting girl."

Feifei nodded vigorously and then explained the other things they found about Fie. Like the Elemental Meridians that can be inherited and that she didn't have the problem about dying if she failed to enter the Foundation Establishment.

"Now that you said, I do remember to have felt the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm coming from her. So that's why uh? To think that Wally created something that would become part of one's body. Doesn't that mean that she can get Elemental Source Energy already? She probably will have a much easier time entering the Foundation Establishment than anyone else in the past. Still, I didn't expect her to not have any blood and flesh Meridians."

Feifei nodded.

"It's okay. The Elemental Meridians are a lot better, after all. Even I haven't used my normal Meridians ever since I got my Elemental ones. The fact that they can instantly convert Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source one is undoubtedly several times better."

Light Spirit pondered a bit and had to admit that she was right.

"She was born for a month or so already, did you see anything else different?"

Feifei shook her head.

"No, that's all so far."

Feifei then showed a playful smile and asked.

"By the way, aren't you a little too interested in our Fie?"

Light Spirit was taken aback by that.

"Cough, cough. It's your imagination. I'm only interested in the changes that a hybrid with Elemental Meridians will go through, that's all."

Seeing Feifei's expression, Light Spirit obviously understood that she didn't believe a single word of his.

"Anyway, this is all for the moment."

With that, Light Spirit retracted his Divine Sense.

"Done, I talked to her. Now leave me in peace while I recover my energy."

Heavin nodded.

"Very well, Feifei has to be treated the best, don't forget it."

He then took control of the Parrot Puppet and returned to his Puppeteer practicing.

As for Krune, he couldn't help but comment.

"You took longer than I expected to finish your conversation with her. Normally, you would simply say some short sentences and go away. What did you talk about?"

Although Light Spirit heard that question, he pretended that he didn't. However, he had spent so much time with Krune that he felt somehow responsible for Fie as well. It was very similar to how Uncle Feng felt regarding Feifei. He couldn't be blamed, though. Just how long had he been locked down in the Luvile Universe? Even a stone heart like him would long for some type of connection after all that time. Besides... he felt it very funny when he saw the colored hair and eyes, just like Krune. Of course, his pride would never allow him to say that out loud.

Krune thought that perhaps Light Spirit went straight back to sleep, so he ignored him for now.

Since there was still a month or so for them to leave, Krune decided that he might as well keep practicing his Blacksmith. He is already a Seven Stars one, so it shouldn't take long to reach the Nine. Besides, Heavin's Puppets would probably need pieces at this level later as well.

'There isn't enough time to reach the Nine Stars, but I can finish the rest when I come back.'

As for Heavin, he was already a Six Golden Stars Puppeteer. All thanks to Krune's high comprehension of laws! As mentioned before, Heavin can't comprehend Laws himself, but he can at least use the ones that Krune did.

Still, that raised a question from Krune some time ago.

"If you need my comprehension to be able to use Laws, what will happen once we get separated? Will you still be able to use them?"

Heavin laughed after hearing that.

"No need to worry. If everything goes as planned, I should be able to comprehend my own laws after reaching the Soul Transformation Realm. Of course, I still need to test it later."

Time passed, and that month went by. Tiane could already feel with her Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense that he egg was very close to hatch. Although it looked like Tiane's egg was slower in cultivation, the fact is that the little guy inside took longer to grow up. That also impacted its cultivation speed. By now, Tiane and Ruik could already feel that Liriu was also in the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, just like Fie.

During this time, Krune successfully reached the Eight Golden Stars as Blacksmith. Mainly because Heavin started to make even harder orders for his puppets, which forced Krune to improve faster. Of course, Krune didn't neglect his other jobs.

Krune had already reached the mastery of his Mind Splitting Technique, which means that he can divide it into ten parts without losing focus.

Because of that, he was doing several things at the same time. Cultivating, comprehending Laws, practicing his Master's Elemental Regulation Technique, etc. Krune was an all in all multi-tasker. However, he didn't feel bothered by that. Krune enjoyed the feeling of improving. For him, as a wisp, the fact that he can do so much is something he can not neglect. He has never forgotten about the other wisps who didn't have the chance to do what he can.

As for Feifei, she started to Inscribe Krune's Flying Shields with the Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy Connection Formation. That was also a good thing since she could practice her own side occupation. One must remember that due to the limited space, inscribing formations on equipments is a lot harder than the normal ones. Fortunately, she could prevent big fails thanks to her Destiny Divine Soul.

Another good news this time was that Dilo reached the 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. That was to be expected, though. His foundation is quite simple, which means he requires less energy to advance Stages. It's pretty much like Ruik and Tiane's case. Of course, the fact that it was a simple foundation also impacted his overall strength.

However, as a Myriad Energies Technique user, he could be said to be far ahead of ordinary cultivators. He wouldn't have any problems in fighting against the 8th Stage ordinary ones. As long as Feifei and Krune were not included in this list, some might think that he is really a genius. That's just how amazing the Myriad Energies Technique is.

A week later, everyone received a message from Tiane. Her and Ruik's egg finally started to hatch. They stopped whatever they were doing and gathered together.

When Krune arrived there, he noticed that the egg wasn't moving at all, though.

"Are you sure it is hatching?"

Tiane, who was using her Spiritual Energy to check inside, nodded.

"Liriu is finishing absorbing the last bit of nutrients, so he should try to break the Egg Shell anytime now."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the Quetzalcoatl started to try to break out of the egg. Krune and the others could also see that the egg would tremble once in a while, which showed its tries of getting free. Tiane got preoccupied and felt like she should help Liriu to get out. However, Ruik put a hand on her shoulder and stopped her.

"I know what you want to do, and it is wrong. Liriu has to get out by himself. This is his first obstacle in life, and you should not intervene. Besides, you don't need to worry. There is no way that our child will fail against such a simple task."

Tiane knew that Ruik was right, so she held herself back. Time passed, and the number of times that the egg trembled increased. Finally, everyone heard a 'crack' sound. That crack seemed to create a chain reaction, and a moment later, the entire egg cracked.

Finally, with a final push, the side of the egg broke, and a snakehead could now be seen.
