Chapter 971: Chapter 970: Reunion Before Ascension

Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened to Ember Vance, after careful thought, Yusuf Zuck was convinced that Ember Vance probably hadn’t died.

When she sent a message to Lily Case, it was because she believed she was surely going to die, but after arriving at this mysterious cave dwelling, she only lost an arm, and there was no body of hers to be found, and the people who chased after her were dead.

Once he realized this, Yusuf Zuck got excited, "It’s good that she’s not dead, it’s so good."

He didn’t consider the Grand Circulation, nor the mysterious predecessors; as long as Ember Vance was still alive, the weight in his heart felt lifted.

"You should ascend as soon as possible. If I’m not mistaken, Ember Vance probably left this cultivation plane a long time ago. The one in retreat here is from a different plane, so you need to ascend quickly in order to be reunited!" Landyn Torres said with a chuckle.

"Then can you tell me what Grand Circulation means?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly asked.

"The runes on the cave’s ceiling are Grand Circulation runes, and as far as I know, only those of the Berger Clan can inscribe Grand Circulation runes. This clan, they cultivate Divine Skills based on the Grand Circulation."

"Of course, right now you don’t need to know too much—it’s more important to ascend."

"Then where is this Berger Clan? In the Element World or the Immortal Realm?" Yusuf Zuck asked anxiously.

"I can only tell you that with your current abilities and cultivation level, you’re not yet qualified to learn about this Berger Clan, so you need to work harder. Let’s leave," Landyn Torres didn’t want to say more, only leaving Yusuf Zuck with endless conjecture.

After thinking for a while, Yusuf Zuck indeed stopped asking further, for he knew that even though he could dominate this lower-level cultivation plane, he was still a frog at the bottom of a well. There were stronger beings in the world like the stars in the sky; how could he, a mere ant, compete with the stars?

Once they left the swamp, Yusuf Zuck immediately released Russ Trujillo and Freya O’brien because he had asked Russ Trujillo earlier if he wanted to come with him, and Russ Trujillo’s answer was that his future achievements might not be much less than those of Yusuf Zuck!

This was also what Landyn Torres had told Yusuf Zuck, that Russ Trujillo’s achievements might not be much less significant than his own.

"Russ, take care. After I enter the higher cultivation plane, I’ll join the Campbell Sect, so if you have the chance, come find me!" After hugging Russ Trujillo and Freya O’brien, Yusuf Zuck promptly left with Landyn Torres.

He felt no reluctance and didn’t return to the Saint Dragon Continent, though he really wanted to check if the secret passage of years past was still accessible to the mundane world; but he also knew that what he found upon returning might not be what he desired.

It’s enough to keep the happy memories in one’s heart.

Besides Russ Trujillo, Yusuf Zuck had no plans to release anyone else, even though several people, like Mr. Ye, Devin King, and others, still yearned to gain experience. But Yusuf Zuck firmly refused.

If they wanted to gain experience, they could do so after his ascension, after having a bath in Linglong Pond, and then go gain experience in the higher cultivation planes. As for the Lower Realm, he’d rather not consider it!

He didn’t want to reunite with them only to part ways again so soon. He didn’t want to repeat that.

As for Ruth Wilcox, Lily Case, Louise Garrett, Selena Gould, and the others, they completely followed Yusuf Zuck’s lead. Even if Yusuf Zuck were to take them to the Underworld, they would follow.

In this life, they really did not plan to separate from Yusuf Zuck again. Even if one day they would age and die, then it would be good to pass away in the Jade Sea Blue Sky!

To lie in the arms of the man they loved before dying—what could be more blissful?

Over the years, they had endured trials and tribulations, countless partings and reunions with death. They had seen the world, witnessed bloodshed, and tasted the bitterness and hardships of life. So to settle down, live happily in the expansive and paradise-like Jade Sea Blue Sky—why not rejouce at the prospect?

...

Half a year later, Landyn Torres took Yusuf Zuck to another cultivation plane, which also had humans and Demon Cultivators and so on, similar to the Origin Star System, only it wasn’t part of the same world.

"I have a Creation Pill here. If you take it, you will be able to advance immediately and thus sense the coming of the Immortal Tribulation. However, I believe you should be able to get through it safely, right?"

"I’m not worried about Crossing the Tribulation, but what does ’Cut off Mortal Ties’ mean?" Yusuf Zuck asked after some thought.

"The Illusion Tribulation. After the thunder strikes, you will be cast into an illusion or reincarnation. You need to withstand the trials of the Heavenly Dao to be successful. If you die within the illusion or reincarnation, you fail, and as for ’Cut off Mortal Ties’, it really just means severing your emotions within that illusion, turning you heartless. At that moment, you will possess a mindset of complete indifference, even towards the end of the world."

"Of course, there’s a recovery period after Crossing the Tribulation. Some people might never regain their former warmth, but others can quickly restore their severed mortal ties. To them, it’s merely a trial, not reality. They remain who they are; they do not change!"

"I think you shouldn’t have much trouble either. Your own life isn’t as important to you as your family is, so if anyone tries to sever your emotional ties with your family, I’m afraid you would end up killing them, wouldn’t you?"

"That’s right. If the heavens try to sever my ties with my family, I will defy the heavens!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily.

"Then there’s no problem. Go ahead and take the Creation Pill!" Landyn Torres shrugged; he wasn’t worried about Yusuf Zuck’s Tribulation at all.

"I’ll take the Creation Pill, but I don’t want to use it right now!" Yusuf Zuck snatched the pill and said.

"Why? Are you planning on some mischief again?" Landyn Torres’s eyes widened; what was Yusuf Zuck up to now? Why had he changed his mind?

"After reuniting with my family, I haven’t had the chance to enjoy familial happiness with them. While I still have time, and before I ascend, I want to spend more time with them. Otherwise, once I ascend, I’ll have to embark on a new journey and will have even less time to be with them. So don’t try to stop me!"

"When it’s time for my Ascension, I’ll ascend naturally. You can go now!" Yusuf Zuck was forthright.

"Alright, that’s only human nature. A heartfelt person like you, surrounded by family, is something I envy," Landyn Torres sighed. He was a loner, unable to enjoy such pleasures!

"However, I still need to take the little blind kid with me, so let him out!" Landyn Torres suddenly said.

"What for? The little blind kid is mine, okay?" Yusuf Zuck raised his voice.

Landyn Torres replied with a wry smile, "He’s my disciple, I’ve grown accustomed to having him by my side all these years. You wouldn’t want to see me without a single relative, would you?"

"Alright, fine, but you have to ensure his safety," Yusuf Zuck also sighed, and then released Little Blind from the Jade Sea and Blue Sky.

"Ah ah ah ah ah..." Little Blind made gestures and noises at Yusuf Zuck, though it was unclear what he meant.

"You can use Divine Sense to communicate with me; why are you ah-ah-ing like this?" Yusuf Zuck scolded.

"Ah ah... hehe..." Little Blind suddenly chuckled, but still shook his head, refusing to use Divine Sense to communicate.

"Alright, we’re leaving. We’ll meet again. Don’t forget what you promised me!" Landyn Torres swept his robe without hesitation, and in an instant, he and Little Blind disappeared into the starry sky.

"Goodbye!" Yusuf Zuck bowed in the direction of Landyn Torres, and then immediately returned to the Jade Sea and Blue Sky!
