Cultivation Pet Shop

The main difference between spirits and wisps was the kind of energy that they were made of.

Even though they were both beings made of pure energy, that didn\'t mean that they were the same.

The spirits were made of pure elemental energy that occurred in nature. It could be said that the spirits were the children of the worlds themselves.

However, it was different when it came to wisps because unlike the spirits, the wisps weren\'t made of natural elemental energy found on worlds. Instead, the wisps were made of residual law energy.

Wisps were creatures that came into being when residual law energy that was strong enough separated from the being that they came from and took form of their own. This form that they took were as wisps, so they were considered beings of law instead of beings of elemental energy.

Of course, since they were beings formed from laws, they weren\'t considered living beings that were formed naturally like the spirits. Because of this, most of the wisps didn\'t even have their own personalities. They only had intelligence, but they didn\'t have individual thoughts, just living purely on instincts.

There were some of the more powerful individuals among wisps that did have thought though, but they were more rare compared to the normal wisps without thoughts.

Of course, the most important factor in deciding this was the level of cultivation that these fragmented laws came from. If the expert was stronger, the fragmented laws that they left behind were naturally stronger as well, which was what created the higher grade wisps.

But that wasn\'t the most important thing from this discovery. The most important thing was that for wisps to even appear, that would mean that there was a powerful expert that was present in this realm.

As for whether that was good news or bad news, it was hard for Lin Fan to tell.

If it was an aggressive expert that didn\'t like people trespassing on their realm, then it would definitely be bad news.

If it was a friendly expert who was willing to talk to him, at least Lin Fan wouldn\'t have to fight him and would have a chance to gain another special employee. Since the shop had been upgraded, there was currently another free employee spot.

Still, that would have to wait until Lin Fan met up with the expert that ruled over this realm.

For now, he would explore this realm first and see what kind of treasures were hidden here.

After thinking this through, Lin Fan put away the corpse of the little boy. After all, this was the corpse of a wisp that was in the realm past the Soul Realm, so it was definitely something useful.

Even ignoring everything else, for the corpses of wisps and spirits, since they were beings that were made of pure energy, that energy dissipated slowly when they died. Just the energy that was slowly released would be enough to power many things, which meant that this corpse could be considered an excellent battery pack.

Then again, Lin Fan was sure that this wasn\'t the only use for this corpse. When he got back, he would ask Momonga about this.

After putting that corpse away, Lin Fan signaled for the two pets to follow him while he let Brainy lead the way.

While they had been fighting the ball of light, the scouts that Brainy released had been checking out this castle the entire time. They had spread quite far and while they hadn\'t explored the entirety of the castle, they had certainly explored quite a large part of it.

Based on the part that they had explored, it wasn\'t hard to figure out the layout of the castle. Brainy was currently leading Lin Fan to where it believed that the throne room of the castle should be.

If it was a castle, then there should be a throne room since that would naturally be where the owner of the castle would be.

As they made their way through the castle, they found balls of light that were wandering around the castle. There were some that wandered alone and there were some that moved around in groups.

It was interesting to note that the ones that moved along in groups had weaker cultivations, only being in the Soul Realm instead of the realm beyond it like the first wisp. The ones that moved by themselves were much stronger, matching the first wisp in cultivation. There were even some that were stronger than the first wisp.

It was just too bad for them that Lin Fan and the pets had the ability to revive endlessly.

Well, it wasn\'t endless for Lin Fan like it was for the pets since it cost him points to revive each time. However, with four different stores earning points for him, it wasn\'t considered that much for him.

Still, as the deaths racked up, Lin Fan had spent quite a bit of points.

In total, he had died two hundred times and that had cost him twenty thousand points which would have been enough to enter this cultivation realm two hundred times.

The system really could price things well, each revival cost the same as one entrance into this realm.

As they made their way through the halls, they came closer and closer to where Brainy suspected the throne to be. When they came close enough to the room, Brainy was able to confirm it since it could see the throne in the room through one of its scouts.

However, when its scouts looked around the room, they couldn\'t find a single thing. There was also nothing that was triggered when those scouts entered the room. It almost seemed like the throne room was just completely abandoned.

When Lin Fan heard Brainy\'s report, after a moment of thought, he still decided to head right for the throne room since he believed that as the center of this realm, it should hold some answers. Even if it was abandoned like it seemed to Brainy.

He was very curious why this castle that seemed abandoned was floating through space, as well, why this abandoned castle could be considered a top grade cultivation realm.

There were still a few more wisps that were in between them and the throne room, but they were easily dealt with by Lin Fan and the two pets.

During this time, the two pets had both broken through to reach the mid Embryo Soul Realm. The moment that they had broken through, they had tried to attack Lin Fan again. The only thing that they had received was another lesson in fear that made sure that they wouldn\'t dare to do the same thing ever again.

Lin Fan didn\'t mind since he had already accomplished his goal by making them break through, though he wanted them to break through even more since the greater the training results, the better his reputation would be.

As they came to the door to the throne room, Lin Fan could see that there were wisps that were standing near it and didn\'t dare go in. It was almost as if there was an invisible circle that was keeping all the wisps out.

Still, that worked in Lin Fan\'s favour because he didn\'t want the wisps to interfere when he met with the ruler of the realm.

Lin Fan also didn\'t bother fighting with the wisps as he rushed right past them, using the two pets as diversions to pull them away. After all, the pets would revive by his side when they revived, so they were perfect to pull the wisps away to clear a path.

When he entered the range of the invisible circle that kept the wisps out, it was like he had completely disappeared from their line of sight as they suddenly stopped attacking him. They just went back to wandering around in the area outside of the invisible circle.

Lin Fan didn\'t bother with them as he went right up to the doors to the throne room and pushed them open. As soon as the doors to the throne room opened, there was a bright flash of light, but that quickly faded.

The throne room that appeared in front of Lin Fan was just as Brainy had described it and the moment he came in, there was no movement at all.

Looking around the room, Lin Fan tried to see if there was anything that could give him a clue, but there was nothing that was here.

If he had to describe it with one word, it would be "desolate".

It was almost as if this realm had been abandoned in a haste and everything of value had already been stripped of this room. There were no decorations on the walls and even the walls themselves seemed almost worn down from the passage of time.

The only thing that seemed like it was worth anything in this room was the glowing throne that was sitting right in the center of the room.

Lin Fan could tell with a single look that this was a throne that was fit for a ruler since the aura that it released was anything but normal.

Since there was nothing else that he could find in this room, Lin Fan moved over to where the throne was and stood in front of it, looking it up and down.

As he looked at it, there was a strange desire to sit down on it that came from deep down within him. He resisted this desire at first, but then he couldn\'t stop himself as he slowly came towards it.

When he was right in front of it and was about to turn to sit down, there was a voice that suddenly rang out that said, "Human, do you desire my throne?"
