Opening the Chamber

Obviously, Krune didn't tell Lila or Kalame since Mental Energy was supposed to be a secret. But Krune told Iem since he also had the Soul Cultivation Technique. It's just that he wasn't at a high enough level to use Mental Energy yet.

'Hum? This thing can eat Mental Energy? What does that mean?'

Krune shook his head.

'I have no idea. First of all, this thing is a new cultivation system that wasn't supposed to exist. But now I'm in doubt if this really is the case. Of course, it might be just a coincidence that whatever is inside happens to react to Mental Energy.'

Iem nodded.

'I understand. However, our Divine Sense also can't tell what is happening in there. Mental Energy will be eaten if you try to use it too. We don't have another choice. Let's enlarge the hole so that we can look inside.'

Krune then looked at Lila before asking.
