Chapter 739 Soren

Krune and Lani were taken aback. Lani already knew about Luvile, so there wasn't really a reason for Luvile to hide his presence.

"You know? Then, who is he? Someone from the God Realm?"

Luvile confirmed.

"Exactly. To be more specific, Soren was also a God from back then."

Somehow, Krune wasn't that surprised. After all, everyone Luvile seemed to have some relation with was always some kind of god.

"So... do you know anything about the Elements Regulation Technique? Or perhaps more information about Soren?"

"Not really."

Luvile then explained.

"Although the number of Gods wasn't that big back then, you could still get a sizeable number when you put all of them together. Obviously, that time when we tried to escape the Four Realms, most of the gods participated. Soren just so happened to be one of them."

"However, Soren and I barely knew each other's names. It's not like just because the other side was a God that I know them all. First of all, all Gods used to stay alone, so it was quite rare for us to meet one another."

"That being said, I don't know much about what kind of power he used. However, now that you talked about this Soren Ruins, it reminded me that his abilities seemed to be some kind of Dark Energy. It just so happens that the Advanced and Culmination Stage of your Elements Regulation Technique also carries this dark aspect."

"Of course, I might be wrong, and these Soren Ruins have nothing to do with the Soren that I saw in the past. Still, I think it would be worth it to pass by there and take a look. Perhaps there is something that only a God like myself would be able to find."

Krune nodded and then looked at Lani.

By the way, how long has it been since a Sect Master entered the Soren Ruins? Or better yet, does it still exists?"

Lani nodded.

"It still exists. As for the last one, it was the sect master from 17 generations ago. We have long concluded that there was nothing else there, so we gave up trying to explore the place. To be honest, I wouldn't go there if I were you. Even today, that place is as dangerous as ever."

Krune pondered a bit before saying.

"Hum... I have to admit that I'm quite curious. Oh well, if I have the time, I'll go take a look. There might really be something good there that Luvile might be able to find. Soren was a god, after all."

Lani shrugged his shoulder.

"Well, if you say so..."

After that, Lani changed the topic.

"Now then, I want to discuss another problem on our side."

Krune and Lucio looked at Lani with a puzzled expression.

"What would that be?"

Lani smiled.

"The next sect master issue, of course."

"Ah!"

Only now, Lucio noticed a problem. Krune's cultivation speed!

"That's right, the successor of the Sect Master position! If Krune continues to cultivate at this speed, he will probably ascend before me. Even if he doesn't, it would only be a few years before that happens."

Lani nodded.

"His presence really disturbed all the balance of time. Now all the Universe Powerhouses made their own top cultivation techniques public. Because of that, everyone is cultivating tens of times faster. However, Krune is still much faster than that, as you can see. Obviously, it would be useless to make him the Sect Master if he can't stay for long."

Krune was quite surprised by that, though.

"Wait, wait, wait! You wanted me to be the next Sect Master? How come I've never heard about it?"

Lucio sighed after hearing that.

"The Elements Regulation Technique is only passed to the next Sect Master. Obviously, it would be you. Well, that doesn't matter anymore since you can't take the position."

Krune felt quite helpless, but it was certain that he wouldn't stay in the Mortal Realm for much longer.

"In that case... you need to find a new disciple?"

Lucio looked at Krune as if he looked at an idiot.

"Me? A new disciple? Why would I do that? You are the next one in the line, so it's your problem to find the next successor."

"Ah?!"

Lani agreed with Lucio.

"Exactly. Be sure to make a good choice. The future of the Divine Path Sect depends on it."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you two taking it too lightly? You should give it more thought before passing the decision onto me."

Lani seemed to not hear Krune's voice, though.

"Now that this is resolved, I have one last thing to discuss with you two."

Krune's mouth twitched. He's sure they were doing it on purpose!

"I've been at the peak of the Divinity Realm for a long time already. Obviously, I did not cultivate so that I could delay my Ascension Tribulation. However, I'm very close to my limit. That being said, I should go through this tribulation in the next two or three years at most."

Lucio was surprised to hear that.

"So, it's finally time, Master? Are you going to be fine?"

Lani nodded.

"Yes. Anyway, I got the Myriad Energy Technique from Krune, so the small chance I had in the past is now quite big. I'm very confident as well."

Krune finally gave up talking about this successor. It's was not like he didn't have a few ideas.

"If you want, I can make a weapon or armor with Purple Flames. With the Myriad Energies Technique and my equipment, I'm pretty sure you can fend off the Ascension Tribulation."

Lani was happy to hear that.

"Sure thing!"

Lani then reached inside his Spatial Ring and brought a staff out.

"I'm quite a rare staff user. Do you think you can make something similar to this one?"

Krune quickly analyzed the staff. It was at the Seven Divinity Stars Level.

"I can. I brought a lot of material from the Godly Path Realm, so I have something perfect for it. This size, weight, and properties are okay for the new one, right?"

Lani nodded.

"Yes. I'm used to this one already, so anything close to it will be perfect."

Krune smiled before saying.

"Leave it to me. I'm going to forge it for you before leaving the sect."

After that, Krune, Lucio, and Lani discussed a few more things before calling it a day.
