Is that a Wisp?

Krune's team members were the first to leave. They would need a few minutes to get ready on the other sides. After all, the teleport formation couldn't send too many wisps at once. Krune had discussed with them, and they agreed everything should be ready in at most fifteen minutes. After the time was gone, Krune sent the first batch of wisps over.

"There they go! We are sending one batch every two minutes; it should take at most one hour for us to leave. That Infernal Beetle will definitely need much more than one hour to gather enough cultivators or demon beasts to come over. So, no need to hurry!"

One by one, batch by batch, the wisps were being teleported over. As Krune didn't receive anything back from the teleport formation, everything was going as planned. Around one hour later, the last batch of wisps was gone. Lakin took special attention to this one because Cassy and Dier were on them.

"Master, it's our time then."

Krune nodded. He stepped on the teleport formation with Lakin, Ruik, and the demon beasts; the Lizard Dragons were in this last batch too. Before activating the teleport formation, Krune summoned a fireball and made its internal spiritual energy run chaotic. It would definitely explode in the next few seconds. He then stepped right above the formation and activated it. In a flash of silver light, Krune and the others were gone, and right after that, the fireball exploded. The Short Distance Teleport Formation was gone.

Around four hours later, Gory had gathered enough forces to trash Krune's group. He arrived back at the Spiritual Vein Lake Cave and asked the demon beasts he had left around about what had happened during the time he was out.

"Our group had kept a look at the mountain range. No one had left it in the last few hours, that's for sure."

Gory found it weird. How could they not try to escape? He had left some scouts behind. Exactly, for this reason, there would be no way for them to get far away with those many wisps unless they escaped alone and left the wisps behind. But after defending those wisps with so much intensity, it would be strange if they simply decided to give up on them. At least, they should have let those wisps scatter in all directions so that they would have some chance of living.

Gory didn't waste time. He had gathered another two Core Formation Realm Demon beasts, sure about his victory this time. They immediately charged in the cave direction. However, when their Divine Senses finally got close enough to see what was happening inside, their faces darkened.

"How come there is no one?"

Gory didn't believe it and charged inside. After arriving at the spiritual vein lake, he finally understood what had happened. He couldn't help but kick a nearby boulder, which immediately crumbled.

"Those guys had a teleport formation prepared!"

The other two demon beasts looked at Gory coldly.

"What? Can't you see the remnants of the teleport formation? If you were in my place, would you have considered having a Four Stars Formations Master in their group capable of building teleport formations?"

The Core Formation Realm beasts ignored him and left. Now that the group used a teleport formation, there is no way to find where they have gone. They can only go back and order their subordinates to see if they had teleported somewhere close. But they also know it is very hard to be the case.

Gory was also feeling gloomy. He could spread the information, but it would ultimately bring him no results and raise a lot of problems, so he only sighed and left as well.

Back at the Raskie Danger Zone, Krune's group arrived at the entrance of the Rainbow Sect. They had to move slowly to keep the concealment. Thanks to Shinja flying around and scaring the demon beasts with her aura, Krune, and the others didn't get in any trouble on their way here. It was not like Krune built this Short Distance Teleport formation far away from the elemental gate anyway.

Krune used his authority as Legacy Disciple to open the gate. After that, everyone got in. Hasik, who was taking care of everything as always, was surprised when he saw the number of wisps passing through the gate. Shortly after, a few demon beasts together with Krune and the others entered as well. Hasik then waited for Krune to come to explain what was happening.

After arriving at the inner city, Krune left the wisps for Lakin to take care and went to the Order Hall. There, he could see Hasik was already waiting for him.

"Well, that's a lot of wisps, but I should advise you: using wisps for cultivation has many side-effects and will make your foundation poorer. You should think twice before using them for cultivation."

Krune's mood got gloomy straight away. In the end, it's not easy to change people's opinions about wisps! He then explained that his group would never use a wisp for cultivation. He brought them here to protect their lives.

"Hum? What will you get from saving a few wisps lives? They have a very limited life span. So there isn't much they will be able to do for you, you know?"

Krune thought that it would be better than explaining. The best would be to show him straight away. Krune, then, reverted back to his wisp form, which was bigger than the wisps outside. Hasik saw that and was alarmed.

"Yo-You! You are a wisp too!"

Krune then went back to his human form again.

"Exactly! So you don't need to be afraid that I or anyone here will use the wisps as cultivation resources. I will slaughter anyone who dares to try so."

Hasik was taken aback. He hadn't expected that at all. The best disciple his Sect had found in a few millennia turned out to be a wisp. Doesn't it mean Krune doesn't have much to live to start with?

Hasik looked at Krune and let out a sigh. His hope for the Sect got crushed just like that. But then he remembered Shinja, Ao, and Yusa were all normal humans. Although they aren't as talented as Krune, they are still top geniuses. His mood improved a bit after thinking like that.

As Krune could not understand what Hasik was thinking, he didn't care. After becoming a Legacy Disciple, Krune had read all the Sect's rules. The Sect doesn't stop any race from joining, as long as one has passed the tests and became an ordinary disciple. The Sect won't do anything to harm that disciple, let alone a legacy disciple like him. That's also why he didn't mind showing his true form.

"Alright, you shouldn't feel that sad anyway! I still have around 14 years of life ahead of me. My cultivation speed is more than fast enough to reach the Core Formation Realm! And don't forget, I'm a 'Rainbow Core' cultivator, remember?"

The words 'Rainbow Core' didn't ring any bell in Hasik's mind.

"I know you have a rainbow core. You told me about that before. Is there anything special about it"?

It was as Krune expected. Hasik really didn't know about the rarity of the Rainbow Core. Otherwise, he would have said something that day when Krune told him about that. But he didn't enter in detail last time. He only commented about the Tribulation Lightning but left the properties of the Rainbow Core basically out. It was then he thought about another possibility.

'Maybe the name they give to my Core isn't 'Rainbow Core' like the Mercenary Guild Head put.'

Krune then explained what his 'Rainbow Core' is. Only after hearing the details did Hasik's face finally change; he seemed to be in a rage.

"To hell with Rainbow Core! That's obviously an Elemental Core. Who the heck came up with this name?"

Hasik felt like he was blind.

"I'm also an idiot! How come I didn't notice it before? The clues were all out there for me to see. Maybe it's because it is so rare I didn't consider the possibility of an Elemental core appearing here."

Krune was ecstatic. It seems Hasik knows more about his Rainbow Core.

"To think that a wisp would give birth to an Elemental core! What a waste!"

Krune didn't mind that comment. He had long since got used to the little expectations everyone had for wisps. Hasik shook his head and then continued.

"The elemental core is one of the ten major cores. It's extremely rare

and can give birth to the Elemental Divine Soul. You called it Five Elements Divine Soul. It's not incorrect to think like that! They were right at this point. You will really have an easier time understanding the elemental laws in the future."

Krune got curious.

"Ten major cores?"

Hasik nodded.

"They are the Elemental core, Black Hole core, Yin core, Yang core, Destiny core, Death core, Life core, Space core, Time core, and the most mysterious of all, the Heavenly Core. They all can nurture their respective nascent souls."

Hasik seemed to be lost in thought while talking about it.

"As for the conditions that give birth to those cores, no one knows. Several powers tried to find a way to raise cultivators with those cores, but they all failed. In the end, they got to the conclusion that it doesn't matter where or when those cores were born. They only appear for the fated ones."

He then continued.

"The Back Hole core is the one with the fastest cultivation of all cores. There is no such thing as a bottleneck. It is also a strange one; once a cultivator gives birth to it, it doesn't matter what kind of foundation they built.

"Yin core can control the Yin elements to the best capability. In places where Yin energy is abundant, their cultivation speed and combat prowess are at the top."

"Yang core obviously can control Yang Elements! So it's basically the opposite of the Yin Core."

"Destiny core is the best for divination. As long as you have the necessary materials for study, everyone can do divination. But no one can match those who give birth to this core, not to mention that they have fewer chances of getting a backlash when prying into the secrets of the heavens."

"Death core can control death power. They are especially strong in huge battlefields where death reigns supreme. You can even say they are the gods of war. Of course, they are still very strong even if no people are dying around."

"Life core has the power to obviously control life. They are the best for healing techniques, and those with this core are usually called saints."

"Space core has the best control over space. Its spatial skills are unmatched at the same level.".

"Time core is quite a weird one. It might be a blessing or a disaster. It makes it easier for the cultivator to understand the time laws. But before reaching the Void Breaking Realm, the owner of this core can't control the power of time of his core. So they might age so fast that they have no chance to reach that realm."

"As for your elemental core, it should be very obvious to you! You have control over the elements that almost no one can match. You would only lose for those with a core like the Yin or Yang core. But they can only surpass you in their respective elements. You could say you have an all-rounded core in this case."

"As for the Heavenly core, that one has appeared the least number of times. Few have witnessed the power of a cultivator who gave birth to this core. Some say that all the other nine cores can ultimately become a Heavenly core, but no one knows, for sure. It is said that those with a Heavenly core can control the power of the heavens!"

Krune and the others were amazed to think there are so many powerful cores out there. It was then that he thought about one thing.

"Shinja has a Pure Yin Body. Does it mean she has a Yin core?"

Hasik wasn't surprised by that question. He already knew about Shinja's body, but he just shook his head.

"You are greatly underestimating the rarity of the ten major cores, compared to the Yin core. Pure Yin Bodies could only be called ordinaries. It's even easier to find a man with a Pure Yin Body than a cultivator with a Yin core. She could find if she had a Yin core in a second. Just ask her to check if her core is azure-colored or golden."

Shinja wasn't sad by hearing that. She knew that her core was as golden as it could be. It didn't seem it had anything special about it either. Krune finally came to understand how incredible his core was.

It was then that Krune remembered his Tribulation Lightning in his core.

"Hasik, do you remember that I can control the Tribulation Lightning and that it is mainly inside of my Rainbow Core? Does it mean that I have a Heavenly Core?"

Hasik shook his head.

"There is no doubt the Tribulation Lightning is part of the power of the heavens, but the heavens aren't just the Tribulation Lightning alone, so it can't be called a Heavenly Core, but-"

Hasik took a deep look at Krune before he continued.

"If what they say that all nine major cores can become a Heavenly core, then the Tribulation Lightning inside your core might give you the chance to achieve that, alas…"

Krune finished Hasik's words.

"Alas, I'm a wisp. Is that what you want to say?"

Hasik just sighed and didn't say anything else.

"Hmph! You just wait and see."
