Chapter 562: Chapter 264: Void Burial, Jack Clark’s Way of Opening the Heavens_2
This scene appeared both eerie and somewhat holy, which surprised Jack Clark.
He hadn’t expected the Life Transformation Ceremony to be so complex, a chain of interlocked steps. In order to save his daughter, Mysterious Martial Sky King seemed to have given his all.
At this moment, Brudos looked at Mysterious Martial Sky King and politely said, “Mysterious Martial Predecessor, the matter you entrusted to me has been completed. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
Mysterious Martial Sky King slowly nodded, his gaze fixed on the black land floating in the Void and the Reincarnation Cabin, his expression solemn and silent.
If successful, his daughter would be revived and emerge anew.
If it failed, that floating piece of land in the Void would be her burial ground, and the Reincarnation Cabin would turn into an icy coffin.
As Brudos left, he politely greeted Sky King Denny Kaye, then gave Jack Clark a meaningful smile before turning to leave first.
After a long time, Mysterious Martial Sky King exhaled deeply and, looking at the spatial cracks he had torn open, said in a heavy voice, “Let’s go up as well.”
“Brother Yan…” Crystal Boyce hesitated as she looked at Mysterious Martial Sky King, who remained calm.
With a forced smile, Mysterious Martial Sky King said, “I’m fine. Haven’t I been through this before? When the first and second bosses left, didn’t I manage just fine too?”
“Besides, little Joseline is just in hibernation, not dead.”
Although he said this, the atmosphere among the group was still somewhat silent.
Having returned to the lobby above, an impatient Jack Clark couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “Senior Kaye, how did the surprise attack against those demon kings turn out?”
Sky King Denny Kaye cracked a slight smile, “The outcome was not bad, though it is a pity we didn’t manage to annihilate them all.”
“Though we ambushed them, the battle site was only a little over one hundred thousand kilometers from the frontline battlefield, so reinforcements came quickly.”
“Thus, we only managed to suppress two demon kings; the others heavily injured, made their escape, and even Great Demon King Barus fled hurt.”
“As for Akunus, I directly shattered its Rule True Body and the essence of the Law of Blood, but in the end, it used a Blood Demon Avatar to escape with a remnant of its soul.”
“However, it’s no longer a threat now. With shattered Laws and a damaged soul, even a slightly more powerful Ninth Heaven Cultivator could exterminate it.”
“King-level is that hard to kill, huh.” Jack Clark was somewhat amazed.
Under the leadership of the two Heavenly Kings with seven king-level cultivators, they fought six against nine, with the opposition having only one Great Demon King, and still only managed to kill two.
Sky King Denny Kaye shook his head with a wry smile, “Kid, do you think king-level cultivators are as common as cabbages?”
“King-level cultivators undergo a transformation of the soul, their Divine Souls handle the power of Laws, and their bodies also evolve under the transformation of Laws into bodies of Laws. Under normal conditions, it’s very difficult to track them if they decide to flee.”
Having learned the information he wanted, Jack Clark bid farewell to everyone, “Boss Boyce, Secretary Xu, goodbye.”
“Mysterious Martial Predecessor, Senior Kaye, I must take my leave due to other matters.”
As they watched Jack Clark’s departing figure, Sky King Denny Kaye standing on the steps suddenly said, “This young fellow is quite remarkable. Not only is his talent incredibly high, but he also values loyalty and righteousness.”
“Mysterious Martial, what do you think about having him as your son-in-law?”
“…”
The bearded Mysterious Martial Sky King said speechlessly, “Old Yang, can you read the room? Didn’t you notice I’m still immersed in the sorrow of my daughter’s hibernation?”
“Hahaha… why be so pessimistic? It’s not like little Joseline is really dead,” Denny Kaye laughed.
“Besides, with a lifespan of over a thousand years, if you really can’t stand it, you could regenerate a few dozen more.”
“Do you think king-level cultivators are pigs? Just breed whenever you want? After I made my breakthrough to become a king, Joseline has been my only direct descendant. The first and the second were born before my breakthrough.”
However, with Sky King Denny Kaye’s interjection, Mysterious Martial Sky King felt somewhat heartened, and with a softer gaze, turned to Crystal Boyce, “I leave this place in your care. Old Yang and I need to rush back to the frontline to stand guard.”
Crystal Boyce nodded, “Go. If little Joseline wakes up, I’ll inform you immediately.”
…
Upon returning to South Base, Jack Clark went to the Logistics Department to collect thirty Sky Element Stones, each worth three hundred Merit Points, and ten bottles of Enrichment Elixir.
These were the cultivation resources provided by the Federation to Jack Clark as a genius at his level, speeding up the materialization of his Combat Shadow.
Theoretically, these resources could save him several years of effort, allowing him to reach the Pinnacle of Seventh Layer of Heaven within six months.
However, that’s only in theory, because cultivation at Seventh Layer Heaven isn’t just simply materializing the true martial arts phantom. It also involves continuously adjusting and optimizing the rune structure to align with one’s body.
At this stage, it either takes painstaking effort over time to incrementally improve and adjust the true martial arts phantom, or it requires a great leap through profound enlightenment.
And enlightenment has always been a weak point for Jack Clark.
Due to the splitting of his soul, his ‘sensitivity’ toward Heaven and Earth was reduced, and his talent in this aspect could only be considered above average.
However, after his breakthrough to Seventh Layer Heaven, his strength had undergone a second transformation, leading to an ‘evolution’ of his attribute page, which acquired new functions.
This precisely addressed that issue.
Having greeted Barry Leonard, Jack Clark booked a high-speed train ticket back to Mist River City and was ready to head back home.
Since entering the Alien Beast Battlefield in mid-February, he had spent around three months outside, his strength skyrocketing from the Early Stage of Fourth Layer Heaven to Seventh Layer Heaven.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Sky 055 Train you are boarding has now departed. This train is completely smoke-free, and cultivators are prohibited from moving around…”
As the train set off, within the solitude of a First Class Cabin, Jack Clark sat on the sofa, summoned a wooden box from his Sumeru Bracelet with a thought.
