As one of the low-ranked God Foundation Stars Materials, it wasn''t anything expensive. Considering Krune''s actual ie, he was able to buy more than enough for his 102 shields. Well, he would use the remaining material for repairster on.


    Krune then focused on forging his first shield, which didn''t have the effects of the Purple me. After he was done with it, he sent his God Energy and Divine Sense inside it to control its flight. The shield then floated around, moving as Krune wished.


    ''Hmm... Indeed, the blockage in Divine Sense is really strong here in the God Realm. My Divine Sense can''t go more than a few tens of meters away, limiting my ability to use flying shields. Well, at least I''m already used to them, so I should be able to control all 102 simultaneously, even with this limited range.''


    After some time, Krune''s shields stopped flying and fell to the ground before Krune picked it up.


    ''I''ll need to go to the Formations Guild so that they can inscribe an Energy Transferring Formation on each one of them. Usually, Feifei would do it for me, but she isn''t here right now, nor is Iem.''


    Krune then poured more God Energy into the shield and continued to control it, trying to get used to this new piece of equipment. Only after a few hours did he reach a conclusion.


    ''Indeed, controlling a shield without Lightning Affinity Materials is totally different. There are the restrictions of the God Realm that make it even slower. However, even without that, it''s different how my energy moves inside. I''m using the normal ck fused elements andws together with my Mental Energy. So far, the metal''s several elements have a pretty good affinity with it. Let''s try my Bnce Laws now.''


    Suddenly, the ck fused elements on the shield disappeared before rainbow-colored energy manifested on it. Krune still couldn''t keep it going for more than a second or two, but that was enough for him to get an idea. He kept repeating this process for some time before he nodded, satisfied.


    ''Great! The Bnce Laws are so much better. Once I finish creating my Elements Cooperation Sub-Law, I should be able to sustain its form for much longer. Fortunately, I already know how the Initial Stage of this Sub-Law will be. I just need time to work on it now.''


    It turned out that Krune''s Shield moved much faster, became much sturdier, and allowed his God Energy to circte several times easier. It wasn''t just by a bit, but an increase of multiple times. Using Soren''s Fused Elements and Laws simply couldn''t bepared.


    Time passed as Krune awakened the Spirits for profit and forged his shields. Just like that, four months went by in a sh. It couldn''t be helped since every single shield took a lot of time to forge. One must remember that Krune couldn''t use the Purple me anymore, so it took a lot longer to do it. Besides, he was forging shields at the limit of his actual cksmith skills.


    "Finally! 102 shieldspleted!"


    During this time, Krune kept passing by the Formations Guild in Sunkan City to deliver his shields. After all, he needed the God Level Formations for the transfer of God Energy between him and the flying shields without touching them. Without that, Krune''s shields couldn''t fly for more than a few tens of seconds. That was way too little.


    "Let''s go to the Formations Guild to deliver thisst one."


    Krune then exited the forging room before bumping into the cksmith Guild''s supervisor. After being part of the guild for so long, he became quite well known. It wasn''t because of his cksmith level but because of how fast his cksmith skills were improving. One must remember that Krune started with a single Godly Fusion Star level. Nevertheless, he was already a God Foundation Star cksmith after just this little time.


    "Oh, Krune. I haven''t seen you in thest few weeks."


    Krune smiled as he greeted back.


    "Hello, Guild Master Juno. I was just on my way out to the Formations Guild."


    Juno nodded.


    "We have a partnership with them for Equipment Formations, so it''s good that you are using them. How was it? Did you finish all your shields?"


    Krune nodded before passing hisst forged shield to Juno.


    Juno then sent his Divine Sense inside and analyzed the craftsmanship.


    "It''s truly a sight to behold. Just how can you make such a piece of high-quality equipment with so little experience? It''s quite a shame that you decided to use a low-level material like Multi-Purpose Metal."


    Krune shook his head as he replied.


    "I have no other choice. Unlike others, I''m specialized in all the five main elements and the two higher ones. Using a metal only good for one of them would be detrimental even if its quality is much higher."


    Juno nodded as he said.


    "Well, it''s up to you in the end. Still, are you sure you don''t want to work for the cksmith guild? Your forging ability is really good, so you would get quite a few customers."


    Krune shook his head as he responded.


    "I''m already too busy with the Spirit Awakener Guild. Besides, they''re paying me much more than what I would make here."


    Juno didn''t deny that. Everyone knew that the top-earning sub-upation was Spirit Awakening. His cksmithing wouldn''t be able to match that, so there was nothing he could do.


    "Well, if you ever get bored of the Spirit Awakener Guild, we have a ce for you here."


    Juno then continued to analyze Krune''s shield before asking.


    "By the way, you''re not nning to awaken your shields'' Spirits, right?"


    Krune had puzzlement on his face as he asked.


    "Why wouldn''t I?"


    Juno then exined.


    "It''s because you will spend way too long to do it. I know that you have a special method that allows you to awaken a Spirit every two or so months. However, 102 shields are way too many. By the time you finish awakening all of them, your own cultivation would have advanced. It will possibly be the time to change your shields for higher-level ones. I won''t say that there aren''t methods of transferring one Spirit to another vessel. However, the Spirit will never reach the same potential as a Spirit born there."


    Krune understood where Juno wasing from.


    "I didn''t know you could transfer Spirits between pieces of equipment."


    Well, that wasn''tpletely true. Krune knew that as long as a Spirit cultivated Soren''s Soul Cultivation Technique, he would be able to move it out. However, Soren''s cultivation technique wasn''t avable for everyone to use.


    Juno nodded.


    "It would be better for you to ask it in the Spirit Awakener Guild. However, it''smon sense that a Spirit will lose most of its strength if transferred to another vessel. It doesn''t matter how simr they are. There''s no such thing as identical equipment in this world. Everyone is unique, and so are equipment spirits and their born equipment."


    Krune nned to use Soren''s Soul Cultivation Technique to eventually move his Shield Spirits to higher level shieldster. However, it seemed like he would need to give it further thought. After all, once he awakened their Spirits, Krune would have to raise them from the start. One must remember that Equipment Spirits were just like newborn babies. They would take a long time to ''grow up.'' By the time they''ve be old enough to understand things and start cultivating, Krune would already need a new set of higher-level shields.


    ''This is the kind of problem that only those who cultivate as fast as I can have. Normal cultivators and demon beasts will spend several times longer to increase their cultivations. In their case, awakening Spirits and raising them is still worth it due to how long they will use them.''


    Krune reached the conclusion that awakening God Foundation Stars Equipment Spirits wouldn''t be a good idea.


    ''Well, Soren''s Soul Cultivation Technique is nothing like the Spirit Cultivation Techniques of the God Realm. Unfortunately, I lost my chance to ask Little Arty if he got weaker after moving out of his equipment. I can''t use Heavin as an example since he isn''t an equipment spirit, but part of my Divine Soul.''


    Krune pondered if he should try it out or not. However, he shook his head in the end. If he tried, he would only awaken a single Shield Spirit. After that, he would need to wait years for it to grow up and start cultivating Soren''s Soul Cultivation Technique. Not to mention that the Spirit would need to reach the Soul Control Realm before being able to move to another vessel. The time necessary for all of that was way too long.


    ''It''s much more worth it to simply wait until I''m at a higher cultivation level. At that time, my cultivation speed will have dropped by hundreds of times, making me spend several years or maybe even decades before going from one Stage to another. Only then will it be worth it to raise the Shields'' Spirits.''


    However, Krune still decided to awaken one Shield Spirit.


    ''I will use this one Spirit to analyze their power and development. Later on, I can simply let it go and live its own life after I craft higher level shields.''


    Juno smiled, seeing Krune deep in thought. That was a verymon sight when it came to raising Equipment Spirits.


    "Oh, by the way. I know it will take some time, but let me know when you reach the God Core Stars Level as cksmith. I think I know the perfect metal for you to make your new shields after that."


    Krune''s eyes lit up as he thanked him.


    "Alright. Thank you, Guild Master."
