Chapter 840: Chapter 839: Nine Levels of Divine Power

In the mountains, a single day goes by, yet a thousand years pass in the world.

Unknowingly, Yusuf Zuck became engrossed in practicing the Shadowless Sword Technique over and over again, and before he realized it, five years had slipped by.

During these five years, no one disturbed him, whether it was his many admirers or his brothers. Although many people came and went on Chicken Mountain, once they knew he had gone into seclusion, they did not interrupt his practice.

Of course, he was not the only one practicing; everyone, including Ruth Wilcox, was silently cultivating.

If a person fully immerses themselves in non-stop practice, time flies quickly. For ordinary people, five years might seem long, but for the friends and family of Yusuf Zuck, it was but the blink of an eye.

After five years, while Yusuf Zuck was practicing his swordsmanship, he was suddenly awakened by a burst of dazzling light, and then he saw the Book of Earth in his mind finally beginning to change. After flickering continuously, the words "Book of Earth" finally disappeared, replaced by lines of vertical text, arranged from right to left, in ancient clerical script!

Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath and eagerly began to read. Although some of the characters were difficult to recognize, by considering the shape and placing them in context, he could roughly understand them.

There were ten lines of text in total. Aside from the first line which had four characters, the other nine lines each had seven characters: from right to left, they were: Nine Levels of Divine Power

The first level: Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways

The second level: Heavenly Braces and Earthly Thorns

The third level: Sky Darkens and Earth Dims

The fourth level: Sky Shaking and Earth Moving

The fifth level: Sky Overturning and Earth Overturning

The sixth level: Sky Net and Earth Net

The seventh level: Connecting Heaven and Earth

The eighth level: Heavenly Disaster and Earthly Demon

The ninth level: Heavenly Doctrine and Earthly Justice

"Nine Levels of Divine Power?" After reading about the Nine Levels of Divine Power, Yusuf Zuck inhaled sharply. Considering the meaning of each phrase, the mere names were enough to stir one’s heart. If one truly mastered them, wouldn’t they be able to move heaven and earth?

"Hmm, how should I cultivate this? Perhaps I must infuse my Divine Sense into the text?" At the moment his eyes gleamed with insight, Yusuf Zuck’s Telekinesis forcefully entered the first level, "Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways."

With a "hum" sound, as his Telekinesis entered the first level of divine power, he suddenly felt his consciousness leave his body and in an instant, entered a hazy space. Within that blurred space, myriad interpretations of Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways along with their cultivation methods also flooded into his mind.

Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways meant that Heaven and Earth are fair in their principles. If you wish to cultivate this way, you must also make sacrificial offerings to Heaven and Earth. The sacrificial offerings varied widely and were numerous in type.

The lowest grade sacrificial items included fruits, wines, incense, tea, and so forth, the next level up included cereals and grains. Higher still were the five domestic animals, followed by fierce spirits such as tigers and wolves. Even higher than these were primates, namely living humans, and the sacrificial items exceeding living humans were even purer children, both boys and girls.

Higher still than the children were cultivators, Demon Cultivators, and even higher were Earth Immortals, Earthly Demon Immortals, and even Immortals and deities and demons, all of which could be offered in sacrifice.

And the higher the level of the sacrificial item, the more powerful the force you would obtain, and the greater the power of Heaven and Earth you would receive.

The first level of Divine Skills, "Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways," only talks about the Method of Sacrifice, which is also considered a method of practice. The power you offer in sacrifice will be absorbed by the Book of Earth and then transformed onto you, increasing your physical strength, cultivation level, and so on.

This Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways has no substantial art and method, it only discusses sacrifice.

However, Yusuf Zuck also understood that there must be a reason why Divine Skills of Nine Levels placed Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways in the first level, because the more you sacrifice, the better you will cultivate the Divine Skills below, like a fish in water.

"It’s somewhat like the nature of sorcery!" Yusuf Zuck stood in the space of Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways and pondered for a long time. After remembering all the methods of sacrifice, he suddenly stepped out.

"Whoosh." After stepping out of Heavenly Principles and Earthly Ways, he immediately entered the space of the second level, "Heavenly Braces and Earthly Thorns."

"Hm?" Upon entering, numerous practices and methods for using Heavenly Braces and Earthly Thorns also immediately penetrated into his soul. At the same time, Yusuf Zuck took several deep breaths and immediately sat down to thoroughly comprehend!

The cultivation of Divine Skills is not something that can be completed overnight. If it only took days or months to cultivate a Divine Skill, then what you’d have cultivated would definitely not be a true Divine Skill!

Although Yusuf Zuck received the cultivation method for Heavenly Braces and Earthly Thorns, he forgot about time once again when he started to delve deeply into it.

Another seven years passed, and after a full seven years, which was twelve years after he returned to the secular world, Ruth Wilcox had to wake him from his meditation.

"What’s going on, what happened?" When he felt someone shaking his body, Yusuf Zuck’s soul returned to his body, and he became instantly alert, though he still didn’t realize that his two meditative retreats had lasted for twelve years.

"Do you...do you know how many years you’ve been in retreat?" Ruth Wilcox bit her lower lip as she spoke.

"Years? Has it been years already? So soon?" Yusuf Zuck was greatly startled. Whether it was the previous meditation to practice Swordsmanship or entering Heavenly Braces and Earthly Thorns to cultivate Divine Skills, he had no complete sense of time, and it felt as though it had been only a few days.

"Fast? It’s been twelve years, a full twelve years of retreat, and tomorrow is the Spring Festival. I couldn’t go against the old man’s will; he wants you to come home for the New Year!" Ruth Wilcox sounded aggrieved. For twelve years, Yusuf Zuck hadn’t paid any attention to them!

"What? Twelve years? I’ve been in retreat for twelve years?" Yusuf Zuck’s heart sank. He hadn’t fully mastered Heavenly Braces and Earthly Thorns yet, but to think that twelve years had passed!

"Yes, haven’t you noticed that I’m almost at the stage of Divinity Transformation?" Ruth Wilcox gave him a glare.

"Eh? You’ve undergone the Nascent Soul Tribulation Number? Already at the Late Nascent Soul Stage? That was fast!" Yusuf Zuck was astonished. In twelve years, Ruth Wilcox had reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage. That seemed too rapid, didn’t it?

"Not just me, Xiaoyun and I are also at the Late Nascent Soul Stage. Sandy and the others have already achieved Divinity Transformation, Mia and Louise Garrett are a bit slower, but they are close to Nascent Soul. The fastest is Little Liang; she’s almost at the Return to Void stage."

"Of course, all this is thanks to Xinyi. Over the years, Xinyi has taught us a lot. She and that Harrow Graves have even established a sect called Tian Yi Men, and the two of them are responsible for teaching arts and methods, cultivating us. Wu Mao, Marlon Shepherd, Fleur Carson, Mia Escobar, they’ve all joined early and have made achievements as well. Even the old man is close to Golden Core now!"

"Really? But that’s way too fast. How could it be possible in just twelve years?" Yusuf Zuck couldn’t believe it. Little Liang was almost at Return to Void? Almost catching up to him? How did they do it?

"Yes, that Harrow Graves has a lot of Elixirs. She claimed that she was originally planning to establish a sect, so she brought a huge quantity of top-grade Elixirs. Therefore, we’ve been supported by these Elixirs and our cultivation has progressed very quickly. She also said that we are suitable for cultivation because our bloodlines are different from theirs. Once we break through, we all have superior aptitude. Plus, she mentioned something about us being the descendants of some gods’ bloodlines or something, though who knows if that’s true?"

"Alright, I’m not cultivating anymore. Nothing is more important than being with you all. I’ve lost my sense of time and got too engrossed in it. But since there’s nobody around, let’s have some fun!" Yusuf Zuck finished speaking and pounced towards Ruth Wilcox.

"You maniac, you haven’t bathed in twelve years, are you insane?!" Ruth Wilcox kicked Yusuf Zuck away and then ran out, laughing giddily.

"Haha, my hair has grown so long, huh? But why does it look like an old man’s hair, all gray and white!" Yusuf Zuck grabbed his completely gray hair to look. His hair remained a grayish-white color, giving him a very old appearance.

It seemed like this grayish-white hair wasn’t going to revert back to its original color unless he consumed that "Drunken Beauty Elixir!"
