Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Monk Isaiah Fowler

Yusuf Zuck had always known that his telekinesis or invisibility might not be unique in the world, for the world was simply too vast with too many peculiar and odd occurrences.

And today, he finally encountered another person who possessed telekinesis, and what was telekinesis? Telekinesis was about control, that feeling of having everything within the depths of one’s mind, like being the supreme ruler where he could feel every subtle movement of others, and even every heartbeat.

From outside the door to the inside, a distance of no more than ten meters, Yusuf Zuck pushed the door open and immediately saw a large monk.

This monk was not a true bald man, for he had a layer of black stubble on top of his head, and Yusuf couldn’t discern his age. He looked somewhat like a sixty-year-old man, but also like he could be in his seventies—either way, it was impossible to determine for sure.

The monk was standing, over one hundred eighty centimeters tall, giving off a rough, broad, and powerful aura.

"Junior Yusuf Zuck pays his respects to the master," he greeted, following the previous advice from Everest Zuck, performing the proper junior’s salutation.

"That’s not right!" Monk Isaiah Fowler did not return the salute but after Yusuf finished his, the monk furrowed his brow and cocked his head to the side, insisting something was amiss.

"Ah..." Yusuf was at a loss for how to continue the conversation.

"How did you cultivate your Divine Sense?" Monk Isaiah unexpectedly enquired.

"Divine Sense?" Yusuf paused slightly, then quickly realized Isaiah was referring to telekinesis.

After some thought, he answered earnestly, "It appeared after an incident where I was electrocuted." He wasn’t lying because he too wanted to understand what was happening to him.

"Electrocution?" Isaiah was also taken aback, then exclaimed incredulously, "Are you saying you developed Divine Sense without undergoing ’Cultivating God’?"

"What is ’Cultivating God’?" Yusuf countered.

"Huh—" Hearing Yusuf’s question, Isaiah took a deep breath, then stared intently at Yusuf and asked, "May I... place my palm on your head? I wish to see inside your mind."

"That I cannot agree to!" Yusuf immediately shook his head, not intending to put his life in another’s hands.

"Oh, then never mind, hehe, the world is vast and filled with wonders; it is I who was too eager," Isaiah joined his palms together, acknowledging he was too hasty and couldn’t blame Yusuf for not consenting.

Yusuf didn’t say anything but just smiled.

"Please, have a seat and we can talk," Isaiah gestured towards two meditation cushions on the ground.

"Yes." Yusuf sat down, imitating Isaiah’s cross-legged posture, though his legs were not positioned properly, unlike the posture of a monk in meditation.

"How long have you had Divine Sense?" They returned to the previous topic after sitting.

"Over a decade," Yusuf replied, careful this time not to say a few months, but instead, ’over a decade’.

"Oh, what can you perceive with your Divine Sense?"

Yusuf thought for a moment and said, "It’s equivalent to my eyes, I guess; it can see through walls."

"Hmm, through walls!" Isaiah nodded, his worked the same.

"How long do you have to accumulate energy before using Divine Sense, and how long does it take to recover after using it once?"

’Accumulate?’ Yusuf squinted and countered, "What about yours, senior?" He didn’t answer but instead asked back, sensing that there seemed to be a difference between himself and the monk.

"At least two hours for me, which is one ’shi chen’. The recovery is the same after using it once," explained Isaiah. ’Shi chen’ was an ancient way of referring to time, with one ’shi chen’ equating to two modern hours.

"Mine is a little slower than yours, senior. I need four hours," Yusuf’s heart thumped with excitement. Isaiah’s Divine Sense was not something that could be used continuously; it required two hours to recover after a single use, whereas his was unconditional and unlimited, ready to be released whenever he wished.

"Hmm." Isaiah nodded, indicating he understood. It had been many years of his own practice, and one ’shi chen’ was already quite fast.

"So how far can your Divine Sense reach?" Isaiah asked further.

"About two or three meters? I never measured precisely," Yusuf Zuck continued to spout nonsense. He was half in the know about these circles and understood that you mustn’t reveal everything at once, let alone to a monk, where he should be completely candid.

"Oh," Isaiah Fowler nodded in response.

"And what about yours, Master? How far can you sense? And what is Cultivating God, and how is Divine Sense acquired?" Yusuf Zuck bombarded him with a flurry of questions.

"My Divine Sense extends a bit further than yours, exactly eleven meters!" Isaiah Fowler said with a hint of pride and continued, "As for what Cultivating God is, it’s a supreme skill of refining Divine Ability, much like how sacred objects in Buddhism need to be consecrated. Of course, in this day and age, no one can achieve Cultivating God on their own. The reason I underwent it was due to a chance encounter with a great master who performed it on me, and consequently, Divine Sense appeared within me."

A glint flashed in Yusuf Zuck’s eye: "I see, so Divine Sense isn’t something one cultivates on their own. Does that mean there are very few people in the world with Divine Sense? Not even a master of Neijia boxing could achieve it?"

"Certainly, you are the second person I’ve met who possesses Divine Sense. Even if one practices Neijia boxing to the fourth level, they couldn’t develop Divine Sense!"

"By the way, Master, how did you know I would come?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly recalled that this monk had requested to see him alone and seemed to know that he was coming.

"Hehe," Isaiah Fowler chuckled softly and shook his head, "The Buddha said, ’It cannot be spoken of, cannot be spoken of!’"

"Fine," Yusuf Zuck cursed inwardly, now that the monk had brought the Buddha into it, he couldn’t well keep asking. But perhaps like Everest Zuck, he was also someone who could predict things, able to foresee what might happen soon.

This monk was also a charlatan, an old one at that!

Yusuf Zuck could tell that even though the monk appeared simple and unadorned, there was something insubstantial about him.

As people age, they become more cunning, so it was very difficult to get straight answers out of him!

"What brings you here?" Isaiah Fowler finally got to the point.

"It’s like this, senior," Yusuf Zuck immediately went over Ember Vance’s illness and then earnestly requested his help with her treatment.

"I may not be capable of curing this illness either. You have Divine Sense like me; I fear I wouldn’t be of any help if I went," Isaiah Fowler said, shaking his head.

"Senior, please help this junior just this once. The patient is very important to me!" Whether he could cure her or not, Yusuf Zuck was determined to bring him along and deal with any inability to treat her later.

"Hehe, since Mr. Zuck has traveled so far to ask, I shall accompany you on this journey," Isaiah Fowler agreed without hesitation and smiled softly.

"Thank you, Senior!" Yusuf Zuck was overjoyed. Although the monk was secretive, if he could save Ember Vance, Yusuf Zuck was willing to revere him like an ancestor.

"Mr. Zuck does not Cultivate God, yet possesses Divine Sense. It’s a boundless blessing and fortune, indicating your many lifetimes of accumulated virtue and connection with Buddhism. Those with a connection to the Buddha are inherently good. I shall do my utmost on this journey."

Yusuf Zuck thanked him again and was also eager to depart immediately. However, the monk didn’t seem ready to leave just yet; instead, he continued to inquire about the origins of Yusuf Zuck’s Divine Sense, wanting to hear in detail about his experience getting struck by lightning and the sensations that followed.

Yusuf Zuck had no choice but to keep his patience and toss out one irrelevant response after another.

And as he rambled on, something suddenly occurred to him, and he quickly countered, "Senior, Divine Sense is Telekinesis, right? Can Divine Sense control objects?"

"Divine Sense controlling objects?" Isaiah Fowler was momentarily taken aback, then burst out laughing before replying, "Can your eyes control objects?"

"No," Yusuf Zuck shook his head.

"There you have it, how could the human eyes possibly control objects?" Isaiah Fowler shook his head.

"Understood," Yusuf Zuck chuckled. So Isaiah Fowler’s Divine Sense couldn’t control objects.

That meant the Divine Sense of Neijia boxing and his mutated Telekinesis were entirely different things; they might be alike, but still wholly unique!

"Senior, which level of Neijia boxing have you reached?"

"Hehe." The only answer Yusuf Zuck got was a coy chuckle. Isaiah Fowler was a sly one, not revealing his exact Cultivation Level.
