Chapter 646 Celestial Organizations
"Elder Gavei, we came from quite far away. There are a few things that we can see here in this place that we can\'t there. Would you mind answering a few questions? Of course, if it is an over sensitive topic, you can remain silent too."
Gavei nodded.
"Sure, go ahead."
Krune then started with the most important one.
"From the place we came from, the elders don\'t like to talk about that formation in the skies. That\'s also one of the reasons we came from so far away. Could you tell us more about it and the space outside?"
Gavei was taken aback.
"Why would they keep that secret?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"If I knew, I wouldn\'t be asking it here."
Gavei thought it to be a little fishy. Still, he didn\'t have a reason to not tell Krune.
"Well, at least here where we live, everyone knows about it. That is the Celestial Protection Formation. As you can tell, this formation protects us from the dangers from outside. As far as everyone remembers, it has always been maintained by the four Celestial Organizations."
Krune immediately asked after hearing that.
"What are those four Celestial Organisations?"
Gavei was surprised that they didn\'t even know about that.
"Well, they are the supreme existences of our Qanton Planet. Each one of them controls one of the four cores that maintain the formation that you see outside. Also, they are their protectors. From what I heard, it seems that it is possible to advance past the Divinity Realm once you are part of them."
Krune was taken aback. Why would they need to go to such a place to surpass the Divinity Realm? Couldn\'t they do it anywhere else? However, just as he was about to ask, Luvile answered that question for him.
"It\'s the concentration of Godly Energy. Can\'t you see? There is so little that you were even able to fly in this place. Obviously, there is no way you can accumulate enough Godly Energy in a single place to overcome the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm Bottleneck."
"But what about Godly Stones? Couldn\'t they simply use-"
It was then that Krune noticed something. Until now, he hasn\'t seen anyone using Godly Stones at all!
Immediately, he sent a Divine Sense Message to Iem and Sisan.
"Unless you are in a dire situation, do not take Godly Stones out. At the very least, make sure that no one sees you using them."
Sisan and Iem looked at Krune, surprised.
"Why is that?"
Krune then explained that the reason that they couldn\'t enter the 2nd Stage of the Transformation Realm was that they didn\'t have enough Godly Energy. Obviously, that meant that they also didn\'t have access to Godly Stones. That\'s what Krune believed. If they brought Godly Energy Stones out, they might become everyone\'s target, especially the Top Quality Godly ones. After all, anyone would be able to tell just how much Godly Energy their stones harnessed.
Sisan and Iem promptly agreed with Krune. They might be overthinking, but there was nothing wrong with preventing unnecessary risks.
Krune then returned his attention to Gavei.
"Could it be that it is because those Celestial Organizations have a lot more Godly Energy?"
Gavei nodded.
"Well, that\'s what I heard, at least."
"Why don\'t you guys try to join one of the Celestial organizations?"
Gavei laughed out loud after hearing that.
"Hahaha! If just it was that easy... The Celestial Organizations seldom recruit anyone from outside. The last time they did it was over 500 years ago. Not only that, but they also recruited only twelve members. One of the previous elders of our race had gone there just to watch. He told me that he had never seen so many cultivators and demon beasts gathered in the same place."
Krune had an idea of why they rarely recruited anyone. First of all, since they have enough Godly Energy to advance to the 2nd Stage of the Transformation Realm, they probably can reach the Mortal Rejection Realm too. That means that they would acquire immortality.
No one outside the Celestial Organizations can surpass the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm after reaching the Peak of the Divinity Realm. That being said, they simply didn\'t have any enemies who could put them in danger. After all, a single Mortal Rejection Realm would be enough to get rid of several Peak Divinity Realms with ease. Not to mention those who already advanced to the God Foundation and above Realms.
Their only enemies would probably be the other Celestial Organization. However, from the looks of it, they are not willing to bother the others. At least, they don\'t do it on the surface since Gavei hasn\'t said anything about wars between them.
There was also the most obvious part. Without enemies at the same level and their unlimited lifespans, not many died inside. Considering that they have their own families and offsprings to replace any possible deaths, it is no surprise that these organizations seldom recruited anyone. It was even possible that they only recruited just because there were a few jobs that they don\'t want to do.
Krune also had another theory. This place is inside the Silver Demon Core. However, they didn\'t have much Goldy Energy in this place. That meant that the Celestial Organizations were using the Godly Energy to keep the formation that protects the planet. Still, there is also a chance that the protection formation doesn\'t need all that Godly Energy. If that was the case, they were purposely stopping the Godly Energy from escaping outside. They were probably afraid that they would lose their position of power if everyone started to advance past the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm.
Of course, these were all speculations. At the moment, Krune doesn\'t have any proof. Not to mention that he really didn\'t have much of a reason to go find answers either.
"Very well. That\'s basically everything we wanted to ask. Senior Gavei can already set up this \'race\' for the Wind Essence Vein. Oh, right! Are you sure no one of the other powers participating will intervene to help their competitors?"
Gavei nodded.
"Don\'t worry. There are quite a few participating. Everyone will be watching each other. Simply put, it\'s not worth the risk. You must remember that this Wind Essence Vein is very important for everyone taking part in it. If someone is caught cheating, his organization/clan/sect will be targeted by all the others together. It is one thing if they don\'t get the Wind Essence Vein, but another completely different one if they get themselves destroyed."
Krune had to admit that Gavei was right. In fact, all the powers other than the Celestial Organizations don\'t have anyone above the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm. That being said, Krune is pretty confident that he can at least notice if something wrong is happening.
"I understand. Another thing, why are you trusting us this much? We barely know each other. Don\'t you think that we might be some spies or something like that?"
Elder Melio on Gavei\'s side sighed after hearing it.
"I did think that, and so did Gavei. However, we don\'t have much choice. Another Divinity Realm Elder and I have been investigating the Semi-Divinity Realm competitors of the other races. Although I won\'t say that our side is weak, we are not strong enough to guarantee that we could defeat their best ones. In the end, our chances are bleak. Not to mention that I believe some of the weaker ones are definitely inviting outsiders that we don\'t know about as well."
It was then that Jilan remembered something.
"Wait. Elder Melio, you had just come back from a trip. Could it be..."
Melio smilled before nodding.
"Exactly. I went out to see if I could find someone who could take part in this competition for us. Unfortunately, I didn\'t find anyone. I was planning to go to other regions and see if I could find something there. Still, who could have thought that Krune\'s group would knock on my door? After seeing their power and speed while fighting Wilten\'s group, I\'ve decided that it was worth a try."
Krune finally understood their situation.
"Well, then I can only tell that you don\'t need to worry about me being a spy or anything like that. My group had really come from very far away, so we knew nothing about this competition of yours. That being said, I\'ll do my best for those Wind Essence Vials."
Gavei and Melio smiled, satisfied. After that, Gavei looked at Jilan and passed an order.
"Jilan, you were the one who found those friends, so I\'ll leave it for you to attend to their needs while they stay in our Mountain. Let me know if they need anything. For now, bring them to the second peak; they can stay there for the time being.
Jilan immediately accepted it.
"Yes, elder Gavei."
Jilan then asked Krune and the others to follow her. Once they left, Melio and Gavei looked at each other.
"What do you think?"
Gavei pondered a bit and said.
"I\'m not sure. Only the end result will show if we were right or not. Still, I doubt we would find anyone as fast and as strong as him."
Melio nodded. After that, Gavei immediately left to inform the other powers.
