Chapter 561 Cycle Soul Sword
Chapter 561 Cycle Soul Sword
Beatrix nodded, a single crystalline tear trickling down from the corner of her eye. Despite her lack of experience and desire for love, she was moved when she heard about the deep affection Jonathan and Catherine had for each other, to the extent of giving up their lives for it.
Jonathan was willing to risk his life in order to protect Catherine. At the same time Catherine even sacrificed her own life in her quest to save Jonathan.
At this moment, Jonathan experienced a strange feeling. He was surprisingly calmed down, then turned to ask Richard, “What would happen if Braincore is removed? Would it cause death?”
He couldn't help but plead in his heart. As long as Catherine doesn't die, I am willing to take care of her for the rest of my life even if she becomes vegetative!
I won't go anywhere, and I'll just stay here with her. I can let go of all my dreams of building an empire including all the hatred and anger, as long as she is safe and happy.
Jonathan looked at Richard, filled with anticipation.
Richard avoided Jonathan's gaze, speaking in a deep voice, “Braincore is the main engine of the body's immune system. Without it, no cells will be produced, and there will be no immunity. Even a minor cold could take Catherine's life.” He paused, then continued, “Jonathan, don't worry. Let me finish. Catherine is not dead. The master has already implanted the power seed into Catherine's cerebral domain. However, Catherine's condition is not very good, so the master has taken her away. The master said that Catherine would be fine. He will find a suitable place in The Void for Catherine to recuperate. You just need to wait for three to five years, and Catherine will surely return safe and sound.”
“Really?” Jonathan asked, letting out a sigh of relief.
Richard said, “Indeed, the removal of Braincore is a severe matter, but Catherine's mind has integrated the power seed. Moreover, the master has implanted this power seed into Catherine's cerebral domain. You think about it. Will Catherine still be in danger? The current situation is that the two cannot merge well, so the master needs to take Catherine away!”
Jonathan shook his head, choosing to believe that this was indeed the truth.
He simply couldn't bring himself to believe that there was no hope left for Catherine.
After a long silence, Jonathan said to Richard, “Master, you are the person I respect the most. I hope everything you've told me is true. Otherwise, I don't know what I might do in the future.”
Richard said, “I can guarantee with my life that everything I've said is true. If there's a single lie in my words, I'm willing to die by your hand!”
That's a bit of a harsh statement.
In a fluster, Jonathan quickly responded, “I wouldn't dare to even go there!”
Richard let out a slight sigh, patting Jonathan's shoulder, he said, “Your temperament can be too extreme at times. You need to live well and work hard in the future. Perhaps you're not aware, but your wife Catherine has already reached the realm of the Seventh Divine. You need to work harder; otherwise, the gap between the two of you will be too great when you meet in the future.”
Jonathan was taken aback, exclaiming, “The Seventh Divine?”
Richard said, “Catherine's talent is truly exceptional. Among the four of us who cultivated together, she had the weakest foundation initially. However, she managed to reach the Seventh Divine in just thirty years.” He paused, then continued, “Even Oswald has only reached the Fourth Divine. As for me, I'm even less accomplished, having only reached the Third Divine!”
Jonathan was astounded. the Divine Emperor's skills were truly miraculous, he had actually managed to elevate everyone's cultivation to such an extent.
At the same time, Jonathan nodded earnestly towards Richard, saying, “Master, I will definitely double my efforts.”
Richard smiled and said, “I have faith in you.”
Afterwards, Richard and Beatrix left together. As they were leaving, Richard advised Jonathan to rest well and not to overthink things.
Jonathan nodded.
After Richard and Beatrix left, Jonathan suddenly felt an empty space in his heart. He didn't want to think about anything, nor did he dare to let his thoughts run wild. Hence, he forced himself to believe in Richard's words!
After Richard and Beatrix returned to Chard Hall, Beatrix said to Richard, “Master, you lied to Jonathan today, in the future...”
Her face was filled with worry.
Richard sat at the head of the table, saying, “The master said that there is a certain chance to save Catherine. So, I didn't completely deceive Jonathan. Besides, time can dilute everything. I'm not telling Jonathan the truth now because I'm afraid he will continue to be depressed.”
Beatrix let out a slight sigh. Then, something hit her and she asked, “Master, do Gideon and Oswald know about this?”
Richard said, “They are unaware that the master is well aware of what is going on. He knew that the two of them might cause trouble, so he asked them to leave first.” He paused for a moment, then continued, “Bee, Jonathan is a smart kid. He might not necessarily believe what I told him. However, at the moment, he would rather believe that what I said was true. In a way, he himself can't accept the harsh reality.”
Beatrix asked, “Can Catherine really survive?”
Richard said, “The chances are extremely slim, but all the master can do is try his best.”
Beatrix's gaze fell into a state of melancholy.
“Next, the master has truly left us,” Richard said. “Neither Oswald nor Gideon will leak this news. Once Divine Realm loses the protection of the master, Divine Realm will no longer be as stable as a rock as it used to be!”
Beatrix asked, “Isn't the master supposed to return in a few years?”
Richard said, “A lot can happen in a few years. Everyone needs to be extra careful during this period of time. This is the time when the killing spree is at its peak. The master's departure at this time, I fear, is intended to let all the disciples experience this storm.”
Beatrix was slightly surprised.
Richard said, “The new is constantly replacing the old, the master probably understands this. If he always guards Divine Realm, the rising talents will face no crisis, gain no experience, and it will be difficult for them to rise to prominence!”
Beatrix said, “With the master gone, if Demon Emperor and Asura Emperor interfere, I'm afraid none of us will be able to resist!” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Richard said, “Demon Emperor and Asura Emperor have their own tribulation to face. Besides, they are people who understand fate and wouldn't want to stir the waters. However, Ignatius, who was sent by Tristan, is sure to stir up a lot of trouble. Fortunately, our cultivation has improved now, so we don't need to be so wary of him anymore.”
Just as Richard was discussing Ignatius.
Ignatius just went to see Tristan.
Tristan's void primordial spirit descended into the room where Ignatius was staying.
Ignatius was in the middle of his training when he noticed something unusual. He immediately opened his eyes. Seeing that it was his father who had arrived, Ignatius couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He got off the bed and exclaimed, “Father!”
Tristan gave a slight smile and asked, “Are you getting used to things here?”
Tristan was truly a doting father whenever he was with Ignatius.
Ignatius said, “Everything is fine!” Ignatius expressed great respect. facing Tristan.
Tristan said, “Ignatius, I came today to say goodbye to you.”
Ignatius was taken aback and asked, “Father, where are you going?”
Tristan said, “What you don't know is that Divine Emperor has already left Earth. This includes Lance and Asura Emperor, they have also departed. They are heading to a certain place to face tribulation and seek an opportunity. This opportunity is extremely important, so now I have no choice but to go.” He paused, then added, “Everything on Earth, no matter how powerful, is not important. We can reclaim it whenever we want. But if we miss the opportunity in the void, once they return, there will be no place for you and me, father and son!”
Ignatius said, “Father, if that's the case, I will go with you!”
“No!” Tristan said, “Your cultivation is not yet sufficient. If you go, I will have to divide my attention to protect you!”
Ignatius said, “I have reached the Third Divine. Although I'm not as strong as you, Father, I won't hold you back.”
Tristan laughed and teased, “What a naive lad you are. Do you really think the gap between your Third
Divine and my Ninth Divine is merely six levels?”
Ignatius said, “Isn't that so?”
Tristan explained, “The cultivation level of the Divine Emperor is probably the Tenth Divine. With just one of his void primordial spirits, he can easily extinguish your Celestial Flame Spire, and he can also capture you. What do you think is the gap between the two of you?”
Ignatius was taken aback, now he dared not say anything at all.
Tristan gave a slight smile and said, “There's no need for you to rush. After all, you're still young. When we were your age, we were far from being as accomplished as you.” He paused for a moment, then added, “By the way, the main reason I am here is to remind you to be careful in everything you do, and not to act rashly. I won't be here to protect you anymore. Do you understand?”
Ignatius nodded, saying, “I understand, and I will definitely take good care of myself. Father, you can go ahead without worry!”
Tristan said, “You are a bit too arrogant for my liking, I must admit that I'm somewhat worried.” He paused, then continued, “Recently, I visited a place and acquired a sword!”
In the pause of his speech, he drew a golden sword from his spatial ring!
“This sword is called Cycle Soul Sword! Take it and bind it with your blood. When you're in danger, it will protect you on its own!” said Tristan.
Ignatius took the sword, and with a puzzled expression, he said, “What a strange name, Cycle Soul
Sword. Does one yuan mean one buck?”
“You little rascal!” Tristan couldn't help but knock on Ignatius's head. He said, “That is the numerical value. Holios Mathematics, The Philosophy Of Duality And Balance and the physics of heaven are the regular prediction methods established Numero Treatise in the process of evolution. One cycle is one hundred twenty nine thousand and six hundred years, which is a development cycle for mankind. Each cycle has twelve epochs, and each epoch is ten thousand eight hundred years. One epoch is thirty revolutions, each revolution is three hundred and sixty years. Each revolution has twelve generations, and one generation is thirty years.”
At this point, Tristan said, “Silly boy, the path of cultivation isn't just about relentless practice. The knowledge and mysteries it encompasses are beyond imagination. You're a smart kid, so don't spend all your time lost in wine and women. You should know that the mysteries of cultivation are infinite, while human energy is limited. Pursuing infinite mysteries with finite energy is already difficult, if you're distracted, it becomes even harder. The universe operates according to certain signs, and each year also reveals its astronomical, geographical, and human developments through these signs. As long as you can understand the logic behind these mysteries, and apply the principles of life and transformation, you can calculate the life course of everything in the world, and have a clear understanding of everything. The rise and fall of human history, the division and unification of the world, and natural changes can all be predicted.”
