Chapter 637 Learning About True Spirits
Illia continued.
"True Spirits are born from Godly Energy itself. Well, that much you probably already know since you are a True Spirit yourself. Other than that, they have an enormous affinity with Godly Energy. Any organization of the Godly Path Realm would love to have them in their ranks. Alas, they are just too, too rare. For example, other than yourself, I only know about a single True Spirit in our Zamaria Planet. His name is Reril, the Sect Master of the Energy Sect, one of our planet\'s strongest powers."
Krune was taken aback. However, something told him that the True Spirits aren\'t the same as the Mortal Realm Wisps. That\'s because wisps are formed of Spiritual Energy while True Spirits are formed of Godly Energy. Krune believes that both sides probably have their differences.
For example, back in the Mortal Realm, Wisps were extremely common. However, True Spirits are extremely rare in this place. It shows that the formation of a True Spirit Core is very different from the formation of a Wisp one.
Another noticeable difference is the True Spirit\'s cultivation speed. From what Illia spoke so far, True Spirits seem to have a very easy time cultivating. As for the Wisps, if not for his Myriad Energies Technique, Krune might have died out of lifespan already. No, he most likely would have.
"You said that there is nothing wrong with me having intelligence before the Semi-Divinity Realm. Does that mean that it is normal for True Spirits like me to be intelligent before that?"
Illia nodded.
"Correct. True Spirits are brilliant. From what I found, they can reach the level of an adult\'s mind by the age of two or three. They are the only existences other than humans to not need cultivation to be sentient. Oh, right! You should stop calling yourself Demon Beast. True Spirits are categorized as a third type of existence. That being said, the Godly Path Realm has Humans, Demon Beasts, and True spirits."
Krune was taken aback by that. But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it made sense.
First of all, Krune always noticed the Wisps\' Cores were utterly different from demon beasts. But because they were different from humans too, wisps were put together with Demon Beasts. In this aspect, True Spirits seem to be very similar to wisps.
But it was at this moment that Iem remembered something.
"Wait! Krune\'s True Spirit Form is Rainbow-Colored. Are all the True Spirits Rainbow-Colored as well? After all, you didn\'t point out his colors after seeing his forms."
Illia understood what Iem meant.
"It seems like you got the wrong idea about True Spirits. It\'s completely normal for True Spirits to be different. Their race comes in several different colors and shapes of ethereal bodies. For example, Krune here looked like a Rainbow-Colored Ball of Energy that also released Rainbow-Colored Ethereal Flame. From what I know, the Sect Master of the Energy Sect has a Blade Shaped Ethereal Body around his True Spirit Core. In the past, there was another True Spirit that had a Rock Ethereal Shape. Anyway, True Spirits are usually different from each other."
Krune was taken aback. That confirmed his suspicions that Trues Spirits are definitely not the same as Wisps. However, that didn\'t matter. That\'s because their different forms are good news for Krune. In the past, when Krune saw Feifei for the first time, he played with her by changing his Ethereal Body\'s form. That was something extremely easy to do even when he was in the Qi Condensation Realm, let alone now. As long as he changes his shape to something else other than the Wisp Form, he can totally pretend to be a True Spirit.
Of course, Krune will need further investigation once he comes out.
"What else you know about them?"
Illia pondered a bit before saying.
"Hum... It\'s said that they have a high comprehension of laws, cultivate really fast, and their lifespans before the Divine Path Realm is a lot higher."
"Higher Life Spans?"
"Yes. Ordinary people have around 60 years to live before the Divine Path Realm. But True Spirits can live over 200 years. It\'s quite hateful since they have a lot longer to reach the Divine Path Realm while already being faster with cultivation. As you know, life span doubles when you reach the Divine Path Realm, so while humans would have 120 years to live after the Divine Path, True Spirits would have 400!"
Krune couldn\'t help but be impressed with the difference in this aspect. True Spirits are basically to pole opposite of Wisps. They have everything that the Wisps ever dreamed about. The only thing that Wisps are better is that their numbers are tens of thousands of times higher. There are probably a million wisps for every True Spirit, maybe even more. Well, their intelligence seems to be similar, too, though.
"Oh, right. Let me ask you this. Do True Spirits have Meridians?"
Illia looked at Krune, puzzled.
"You should know this better than anyone else."
Krune nodded.
"I know, but I want to know if we are all the same in this aspect."
"Oh, so that\'s why. Don\'t worry, from what I know, True Spirits are all the same in relation to Meridians. None of them have it. Just like you, they have an extremely high affinity with Godly Energy, so they simply don\'t need meridians to start with. Just their natural Godly Energy Absorption Power is more than enough to make everyone jealous of their Cultivation Speed. Even cultivation techniques are basically useless for them."
Krune couldn\'t help but sign. Wisps can also absorb Spiritual Energy without meridians. However, their cultivation speed is far from enough for them to win against their own life spans. Only now that Krune spread the Myriad Wisps Technique did they began to stand a chance. But even then, chances are that the majority will die. After all, not all wisps had Krune\'s luck of having an Elemental Divine Soul or a Luvile on his side.
"Is there anything else?"
Illia pondered a bit before shrugging her shoulders.
"Sorry, this is the limit of my knowledge. I only took a look at the True Spirits information before because my master insisted. He said that any living True Spirit would most likely have some fearsome background. That being said, I should at least know about them so that I wouldn\'t offend someone I can\'t afford to. If you want to learn more about it, you should go look for another True Spirit yourself."
Krune nodded and didn\'t insist. This was enough information for the time being.
Krune\'s group battled their way back to where Krune found the Meridian entrance. Fortunately, the place was still somewhat far from where the God Crystal was found, so it didn\'t have that many Space Creatures.
Suddenly, Krune stopped moving and looked at a corner.
"It\'s behind this blood vessel wall."
Illia couldn\'t help but ask.
"The meridian\'s walls are definitely much stronger than blood vessels. How exactly do you plan to break through it? I\'ll tell you in advance that I have no confidence whatsoever."
Krune and Iem laughed after hearing that but gave no explanation. Instead, they both summoned their Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flames. As expected, their two Gods\' Powers can destroy laws or eat them. Although the meridians\' walls are strong, as long as they keep infusing it with Luvile and Harold\'s powers, they will eventually breakthrough.
Krune and Iem then touched the wall and began to open the way. However, they did not attack the walls with skills. Instead, they slowly poured the energy inside. That was to prevent too many commotions from happening. Besides, there was another reason.
"Back then, the blood vessels walls closed on us after we entered. That being said, such a thing might happen again if we cause too much damage at once. It\'s better to do it slowly to prevent that from happening."
Iem nodded.
"That\'s true. Also, as long as we do it at this pace, we can keep replenishing our powers at the same time."
Illia was surprised to see that the blood vessel wall was really breaking apart. Not that she couldn\'t cause any damage, but that Krune and Iem didn\'t seem to be using that much power at all. She then used her Divine Sense to check the place where they were breaking through, and sure enough, the laws that composed the walls were being destroyed or eaten without stopping. It was the same thing when Krune and Iem\'s Domains touched her when she was hidden.
\'What kind of abilities are those? I\'ve never seen skills that could eat or destroy other laws. I better investigate if I succeed in escaping later. Too bad that I won\'t be able to tell anyone before I improve my cultivation by two realms at the very least. Otherwise, it would be much easier.\'
One of the conditions of the restrictions on her Soul was to never talk about anything related to Krune and Iem\'s secrets, after all.
Iem and Krune took just fifteen minutes to reach the Meridian Wall. But after that, it took them almost an entire hour to break that. That shows just how much stronger Meridians are in comparison to the rest of the body. It wasn\'t only that one, but all other races as well. The only exceptions might be the wisps and those True Spirits Krune heard about.
