Chapter 697: Chapter 696: Closed-door Training

The massive ice chains extended into the unknown, for they were buried deep beneath the ground, merging with the earth as if they were one.

Yusuf Zuck tried to dig forward for a few meters, but the chains gave him the impression of being endlessly long; where he was, seemed to be just a small portion of them. He also attempted to break the chains, but they were incredibly sturdy. When he used all his strength, the chains didn’t budge at all.

In the end, Yusuf Zuck gave up. Of course, he also planned to return and inquire about it, to find out what secrets were buried at the bottom of the Mainland.

Three days later, Yusuf Zuck rushed back to Chicken Mountain, but just as he was about to arrive, he suddenly saw someone in his mind’s eye – a person who was sitting cross-legged in meditation outside Chicken Mountain.

When Yusuf Zuck noticed this person through his Telekinesis, the person suddenly let out a fierce roar and charged directly at him.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t recognize this person, but the individual’s cultivation level was clearly at the middle or later stages of a Nascent Soul, with an incredibly dreadful aura.

Not daring to confront this person, Yusuf Zuck leaped into the high sky as the attacker approached, then fell from the sky, plunging into the layers of mist surrounding Chicken Mountain!

The Nascent Soul Powerhouse also leaped up, his eyes flashing murderously as he gazed at the peak of Chicken Mountain.

"The master is back!" Upon seeing Yusuf Zuck suddenly descending from the sky, everyone on Chicken Mountain immediately gathered around!

"What’s the deal with this person?" Yusuf Zuck, standing on the summit of Chicken Mountain, pointed at the Nascent Soul Powerhouse outside, who was exuding killing intent.

Black Jiao King answered, "He’s been here for two days, guarding at the foot of the mountain, forbidding anyone from climbing up or coming down. He seems to be called Clay Wolfe, the second son of the Sect leader of the Celestial Origin Sect!"

"Clay Wolfe?" Yusuf Zuck nodded. Michael Wolfe had many sons. Alexis Wolfe had been killed by him, and now another, Clay Wolfe, had appeared, who was clearly a supreme expert.

"Can you determine his exact stage?" Yusuf Zuck asked again.

"Late Nascent Soul Stage, approaching perfection, soon to undergo ’Divinity Transformation’," Black Jiao continued.

"Divinity Transformation stage?" Yusuf Zuck’s eyes sharpened. Following the Nascent Soul stage was Divinity Transformation, a new and supreme stage.

"Master, why has your cultivation level not increased but decreased instead? What happened?" The demons noticed that Yusuf Zuck now only had an early stage Small Foetal Respiration realm, whereas he had been in the middle stage of Big Fetus Breath when he left. How could his realm have declined?

"Hmm, can you see what’s happening inside my Dantian?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"No, we can’t. When we try to probe with Divine Sense, we can only see a purple mist, but your aura is indeed that of Small Foetal Respiration," the demons shook their heads.

"You can’t see it?" Yusuf Zuck’s eyebrows arched upward. It was good news that they couldn’t see; it seemed that both his Dantian and his breathing technique had indeed undergone a mutation.

After all, the yin and yang had disappeared from his Dantian, signifying a mutated Dantian.

"Don’t bother with the person outside, if he likes staying here, then let him. The twelve Golden Cores from before are still around, right?" Yusuf Zuck then asked.

"They are, they are," Black Jiao nodded repeatedly.

"Give me ten, and leave the other two for your mistress. Also, without my orders, no one is to leave the mountain. Of course, you can insult his ancestors with words, don’t fight with him, but do rile him up a bit." Yusuf Zuck sneered incessantly. Chicken Mountain was as secure as a sealed drum; it would be as difficult for others to enter as ascending to the heavens.

Meanwhile, he also planned to continue his secluded cultivation, as he wanted to solidify his pill and see what level of strength and stage he would reach after solidifying nine!

"Understood," all sixteen great demons laughed, and Yusuf Zuck also gave Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance a knowing look; the three of them then returned to the inner hall together.

"Any news from Xiaoliang?" As soon as they entered the inner hall, the two women couldn’t wait to ask.

Yusuf Zuck nodded, "She’s not in the South State, but has been sent to the headquarters of the Saint Dragon Pavilion for training. She won’t be back for at least two and a half years!"

"Ah..." The two women were stunned for a moment. She wasn’t in the South State?

"That’s why I now have two and a half years to train and prepare. I fought with the head of the Heavenly Origin Sect before, and I was no match at all, so I must intensify my training." Yusuf Zuck looked at the two women, "The same goes for you, don’t delay."

"We know, my sister and I are going to practice fasting, it’s just a matter of these few days!" Ember Vance replied with a giggle.

"Good." Yusuf Zuck embraced the two women, "Wait for me, once I advance in my training and can traverse the Mainland at will, you won’t have to stay cooped up on this mountain all day. I will take you out to have fun and see the world!"

"Mhm." Both women nodded simultaneously.

After embracing for a long while, they parted, and Yusuf Zuck sought out a secluded chamber for his training. The two women did the same; their top priority was advancing their training, and they now had ample resources, with everything prepared for their Solidifying Pill.

...

Meanwhile, as Yusuf Zuck began his seclusion for training, Clay Wolfe on top of Chicken Mountain snorted angrily, "No matter what kind of demons you are, if you come out one by one, I will kill you, one by one. With me here, don’t even dream of taking half a step out of Chicken Mountain!"

"Bluffing, eh? Mr. Wolfe, your older brother Alexis Wolfe is already dead. Our Family Head said, the next in line are your younger brothers and little sister, and lastly, you’ll be killed!" the black serpentine creature shouted loudly, "Do you know why you’ll be killed last?"

"Because our Family Head said, ’With a watchdog guarding outside the mountain, we are safe.’ This dog is pretty good, let’s keep it for guarding the house!"

"Hahaha..." The great demons on the mountaintop all burst into laughter.

"Look, his face is turning green with anger..."

"Oh, are you getting angry now? Our Family Head also said that he would capture your old mother and little sister to bring to the mountain for our dual cultivation."

"Hmph, a bunch of beasts that are worse than animals, even if you’ve cultivated into human form, you’re still beasts!" Clay Wolfe coldly snorted and then quietly descended outside the mountain, sat down, and stopped conversing with the great demons!

After continuing to curse for a while, the great demons also felt bored, so they all sat down in the square and started drinking.

At the same time, Yusuf Zuck began taking Golden Cores. The Golden Core of a Golden Pill Monk is an extremely precious treasure. It seems there’s nobody in the world who can eat Golden Cores like candy beans. After all, Golden Pill refinement is incredibly rare—killing a Golden Pill Monk from another Sect would mean incurring a mortal enemy, a fight to the death. Therefore, ordinary cultivators seldom slaughter each other. Even if they do, it’s usually done in secret and not blatantly running into a Sect to kill and steal the Core.

When Yusuf Zuck took the Golden Core again, he became extremely cautious, for he still feared the will within the Golden Path.

However, his concerns were clearly unnecessary after this particular Golden Core was consumed. As the Golden Core dissolved its medicine power within him, the nine Big Fetus Breaths within his Dantian began to vibrate simultaneously, then released light and energy, instantly absorbing all the energy and will of the Golden Core!

There was no need for him to circulate any kind of circulation technique or any Qi Harmony Song; the nine Big Fetus Breaths themselves absorbed everything from the Golden Core, and it seemed almost conscious, which was quite eerie!

"Hoo~" After absorbing the Golden Core, Yusuf Zuck saw that the nine Big Fetus Breaths seemed to have grown slightly larger, bursting with more purple radiance!

Yusuf Zuck smacked his lips. If a Little Foetal Respiration had swallowed a Golden Core, it likely would have exploded, right? Yet, his only grew slightly larger. It appeared that the energy required for his cultivation was going to be massive.

"Again!" Realizing this, Yusuf Zuck no longer needed to be careful, and continued to grab another Golden Core to consume.
