Chapter 1426 Creating a Gateway

"What will we be doing there?" Krune asked. "Our goal is only to reclaim the fourth key, right?"

"Yes." Gegrafikan nodded in response. "But we should also try to cripple the Mong Realm Spirit along the way. And that's necessary if we want our Kun Realm to survive their onslaught in the future."

"And this secret realm has a way to make that happen?" Sterlena asked.

"This secret realm is something only known to the Gods of the Mong Realm," Gegrafikan explained. "And there exists countless native races in this secret realm. You can say that this is one of the properties of a powerful sect. The Godly Energy in this secret realm has even reached a Rank 5 God Stone in quality."

"Rank 5 God Stone?" Krune was shocked to hear that. After all, even the Mountain Sect Sub-Realm, with its dozens of Godly Veins, could only produce Godly Energy on par with a Rank 3 God Stone in quality.

That meant this secret realm had an incredibly sturdy foundation.

"What exactly is this place?" Krune asked.

"It's a training ground for the elite," Gegrafikan replied. "It's where immortals that have the potential to become Gods cultivate."

"Then, wouldn't it be heavily guarded? At least a God or two might be there," Sterlena said, wondering why Gegrafikan wished to risk their mission so much.

"I was thinking of the way we'll retrieve our key," Gegrafikan said in response. "It would definitely be held by a God that would never leave the Mong Realm. Besides, he must be in one of the most secure regions of the Mong Realm. Retrieving the key by treading through their senses would be impossible."

"Hence, we need a plan," Gegrafikan suggested. "Do you remember Pocket Immortal from the Golden Gate Sect?"

"Yes." Krune nodded. "He had the power to create Sub-Realms or detonate them as attacks."

"Yes. Similarly, if we were to detonate a secret realm, it would inflict a major blow to the Mong Realm Spirit." Gegrafikan raised his hand, motioning for the two to not interrupt him as he spoke, "We'll be doing the same as Little Cally."

"You mean…" Krune's eyes widened in surprise as he understood just what Gegrafikan was getting at here.

Since this secret realm had a high foundation and contained the highest of talents of the Mong Realm, if they could detach it from the Mong Realm as an individual realm and put it under their control, then they would obtain a way to target the Mong Realm.

"But, the Gods would definitely interfere," Krune could not help but say soon after. "It's too risky."

"Indeed." Sterlena nodded in agreement. "Even if the Gods aren't there personally, they must be keeping an eye on everything that goes in the secret realm through their Laws. Just as how we protect Feifei, they must have left a portion of their bodies here."

"Yes, but here's where my powers come in," Gegrafikan smirked. "The moment we enter there, I'll unleash the entirety of my power to rapidly terraform the place into a part of the Kun Realm. Ask Little Cally to infuse a part of its consciousness into the place and birth itself as a secondary Realm Spirit."

"It should be possible, right?" Gegrafikan asked.

Krune and Sterlena closed their eyes, thinking for some time before nodding. "Yes, it's possible for Little Cally to do this."

"That's it," Gegrafikan said. "With that, we'll gain a permanent entryway into the Mong Realm that the powerhouses of other realms can use to enter. This would cause the Mong Realm Spirit to focus on the region, which would allow us to steal our key."

"The Mong Realm Gods would take action immediately," Krune said. "If this happens, not only would our plan fail, but we'll also be captured by them. If they retaliate with their full force, our Kun Realm wouldn't be able to handle it at present."

"Sterlena, you met with them, right?" Gegrafikan glanced at Sterlena all of a sudden. "Through probing the Laws of the Mong Realm, you chanced upon them, right?"

"Yes," Sterlena said, sighing. "But, I have no guarantee if they would join hands with us. Revealing our identity to them is too risky."

"Some of them are the resistance from the Tilk Realm, right?" Gegrafikan smiled in response. "They would, of course, help us, right? Since they have no other choice, with their realm on the verge of being annexed by the Mong Realm."

"Yes, but you have to know. The Tilk Realm is weaker than our Kun Realm. They had lost all strength against the war with the Mong Realm. So, they wouldn't amount to much in the scale of our plan," Sterlena told him.

"That's why we'll talk with the other realms that have planned to infiltrate the Mong Realm but didn't have the means or the opportunity to do so. We'll offer this gateway to them," Gegrafikan said in response.

"What about the Mong Realm Spirit?" Krune asked all of a sudden. "We are snatching a part of its body after all. Wouldn't it sense our actions right away?"

"It indeed would sense it. But so what?" Gegrafikan said with confidence. "The moment I unleash my ability, the secret realm would slip out of its control. It wouldn't be able to enter this place since I would be cutting off all connections."

"Then, it would be impossible for the secret realm to be a gateway, right?" Krune asked in confusion before realizing something; eyes widened as he looked at Sterlena.

"Right, the both of you have a part of the Calamity and Balance Laws as your Spiritual Incarnation. So, you'll be acting as the gateway between the Mong Realm and the Secret Realm through which we'll establish this." Gegrafikan nodded.

"This would be incredibly dangerous. But if we succeed, it'll allow us to snatch the key."

"Before that," Krune spoke after thinking for a couple of hours, considering various situations. "We'll need to complete the groundwork. We'll have to meet up with those from the other realms and establish a means of contact and make them ready to take action."

"I'll take care of that." Sterlena nodded, saying, "I can transmit this information even though the Mong Realm's Godly Energy. The Mong Realm Gods wouldn't even notice anything amiss since this is my race's innate ability."

"And I'll be making preparations to finalize the takeover of the secret realm," Gegrafikan said, gazing at Krune as he asked, "What will you do, Krune?"

"Same as what I did for the past three years." Krune smiled in response. "You'll be surprised when I'm done here."
