Chapter 1024: Chapter 1023: Another Promotion

"Rafael, Zayden, just how many Green Spirit Fruits do you have?" In the back hills, Yusuf Zuck was changing clothes along with Rafael Case, while the Sect Master maintained a stern face. He could guess that Rafael Case and Zaiden Newton definitely had their own private stash. But... a disciple offering him fruit was an act of filial piety. If they offered none at all, he was not the type to forcibly take it.

The continuous promotions of Zayden Newton, the behavior of Elder Fang, and Aiden Wilkinson’s performance all seemed to indicate that the two women had received Green Spirit Fruits; otherwise, they wouldn’t be standing up for it.

"Master, we only have one left, truly just one more!" Rafael Case immediately bowed repeatedly, indicating that he was not deceiving the Sect Master.

"Sigh~" The Sect Master took a deep breath and shook his head with a wry smile, "I don’t care how many you have left. Manager Ledger Vaughn already knows about your fruits, so you must give him one. This also relates to your future development in the sect. With Manager Vaughn’s support, someone can speak for you when you make mistakes in the future."

"Yes, Master, you’re right. This last one we’ll give to the manager!" Rafael Case nodded obsequiously, taking out the Green Spirit Fruit and quickly placing it in the Sect Master’s hand.

The Sect Master waved his hand and the Green Spirit Fruit disappeared.

"When I ask you if you have Green Spirit Fruits, it’s not because I want to covet your fruits. After all, I haven’t even had the chance to consume my own yet. I just want to warn you, under no circumstances should you give the fruit to anyone else or let more people know about it, else disaster will befall!"

"Understood, Brother."

"Understood, Master!"

The two of them responded in succession.

"Alright, that’s all for now. We’ll wait for the Great Emperor to arrive." The Sect Master finished speaking and returned to the mountaintop.

After exchanging a glance with Zuck, Rafael also followed, eventually sitting at the very back of the Campbell Sect’s crowd.

Upon returning to the mountaintop, the Sect Master sat next to Ledger Vaughn and communicated secretly using Divine Sense. Moments later, he handed a ring to Ledger, who looked at it discreetly, his eyebrows then brimming with joy.

So there they sat, Zuck and Rafael, quietly at the back of the crowd on the mountaintop. Rafael, with his beady green eyes, couldn’t stop ogling the beautiful female disciples of other sects, his lecherous gaze even defiling the properly dressed nuns for quite some time.

Zuck, on the other hand, scrutinized the participants from the three sects, especially those from the Carefree Palace. Unfortunately, within the members of the Carefree Palace, there was neither Paisley Kirk nor Khloe Miller; he recognized no one.

Zuck sighed lightly, feeling a touch of disappointment.

Three days later, Zuck collected his thoughts and finally began contacting Maria Haney; he must have her erase her memories.

However, when Zuck informed Maria Haney of his decision through Divine Sense, she didn’t even think before she outright refused!

Yes, Maria Haney refused him.

"I have many secrets myself. If others were to find out, wouldn’t I be doomed? Also, don’t you know that being subjected to a Soul Search can cause great harm to the soul, affecting cultivation? So, I will not allow the White-Haired Witch to search my soul. I don’t trust her!"

"But... if you don’t erase part of your memories, you’ll still die when the Great Emperor arrives!" Zuck urged frantically.

"That doesn’t justify exposing the deepest secrets of my soul, so forget it," Maria Haney firmly refused, without hesitation.

Zuck was left speechless, his calculations failing to account for Maria Haney’s stubbornness.

"What if the Great Emperor conducts a Soul Search when he arrives? Won’t your secrets still be exposed?" Zuck argued.

"The Great Emperor wouldn’t easily search someone’s soul. Besides, if he were to search, he’d start with the major figures present. Which one of them doesn’t have secrets? Hence, they wouldn’t let him search either. Don’t worry, just wait and see!" Maria Haney explained, "Among those present here, there are several distinguished individuals, like Dillon Meskill. His clan’s ancestor is an Emperor of the Immortal Realm. There are also people in the Green Spirit Sect, Carefree Palace, and Baiyun Temple who are more or less related to the Imperial Families of the Immortal Realm, so it’s not definite that there will be a Soul Search!"

"Alright." Zuck didn’t continue the conversation with Maria Haney. In reality, he was feeling quite frustrated but didn’t know what to do about it!

However, what Maria Haney said made sense. A Soul Search could affect future cultivation, and who doesn’t have secrets? Thus, a Soul Search is a major taboo.

Zuck settled down and took out the Nameless Book to continue watching, to learn about the experiences and journeys of those major figures to fame.

As he indulged in the pleasures of reading, time passed day by day.

Indeed, everyone was suffering and waiting in trepidation, for no one knew what would happen upon the return of the Great Emperor.

Over five months passed, and during that time, he had already returned the Nameless Book to Aiden Wilkinson, since he memorized all its content.

"So, have you realized anything? Can you share anything with me?" Aiden Wilkinson sat next to him and asked curiously.

"Teacher, to be honest, I haven’t realized anything. After all, their paths and my path are different. My cultivation is complex and diverse; integration isn’t something that can be accomplished overnight." Zuck shook his head.

"Oh," Aiden Wilkinson said indifferently, feeling a slight disappointment in his heart!

"However, I have deciphered two words from the Nameless Book!"

"What words?" Aiden Wilkinson asked curiously.

"Perseverance!" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed, "Considering the life stories of those predecessors, they were not geniuses by birth, but they were precious for their perseverance. They never admitted defeat; even when they were oppressed and faced life-and-death situations, they still lived for their beliefs and persisted in their own life paths. And it was because of their perseverance that they later achieved success!"

"Indeed, the value of life is in perseverance, and it’s a gain that you have understood this point," Aiden Wilkinson praised.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher."

"Hmm, continue your cultivation then," Aiden Wilkinson got up and left.

Yusuf Zuck once again took out the Cultivating God technique and read it carefully, pondering, if he used the Time-space field, then writing on the water’s surface might not be such an impossible task anymore!

"Right, in combination with the Time-space field!" Yusuf Zuck immediately entered into meditation, sinking into deep-level cultivation.

This deep-level cultivation involved using the soul to conjure water surface scenarios, then repeatedly practicing the act of writing on the water again and again under his own conditions.

...

After another two months had passed, more than half a month of the one-year deadline had elapsed, yet the Great Emperor had not come. The entrance to the Spirit Realm was guarded by people from The Four Great Sects, and even people had been sent to wait for the Great Emperor at the Northeast Cave.

But as the deadline passed, there was still no sign of the Great Emperor!

The upper echelons of The Four Great Sects gathered again, forming a small circle to discuss in secret!

"If he doesn’t return, are we supposed to wait here forever?"

"Half a month has passed now, it’s not that we are unwilling to wait for him, but that he has broken the appointment.

"So what do we do?"

"A Golden Immortal disciple of my Sect can hardly hold on any longer."

"A disciple from my Sect is on the brink of physical collapse as well."

"How about we wait a bit longer, another sixty days? If he still doesn’t come after two months, we’ll leave!"

"Good idea, let’s wait another sixty days."

After some deliberation, they decided to wait an additional two months. If the Great Emperor did not come out by then, they would leave the place.

There was no Immortal Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Realm, so many with lower Cultivation Levels were struggling to endure. Sixty days were also a limit.

However, just as the high-level leaders had not yet dispersed, suddenly from behind the mountain peak, a violent surge of energy erupted, followed by a "my goodness" exclamation.

"Buzz buzz buzz~" A golden wave of energy uncontrollably burst out. That "my goodness" was none other than Rafael Case, who had been sitting next to Yusuf Zuck; he was blown away by Yusuf Zuck’s energy wave, and the reason why he exclaimed was that he knew very well that this damn thing was Yusuf Zuck’s clone. How could a clone advance in level? Too much of a monster.

"What? That young cultivator advanced again, reaching Grade One of the Great Luo?"

"Heavens, there’s no Immortal Spiritual Energy here, how did he manage to advance?"

"I saw the young cultivator always reading, a hard-working person, very serious about cultivation. Good, good, the Jimmie Campbell Sect truly brings forth talents!"

"Congratulations!" Members of the other Sects congratulated the upper echelons of the Jimmie Campbell Sect.

"Haha, it seems Jack Gardner has a keen eye for talent. After returning, I must inform the Sect Master that Zayden Newton needs to be cultivated as a priority!" Ledger Vaughn laughed heartily.
