Chapter 601 - 279: Space-Time Summoning, The Arrival of the Ultimate True Body (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Even he did not dare to be careless in the battle with a quasi-mythical beast, putting all his attention on the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon.
Jacks Clark narrowed his eyes and murmured softly, “It seems I need to be a bit more restrained when acting in the ocean from now on.”
The surprise encounter made him realize that prestigious powers actually divided the Deep Ocean, centralizing around the passageways to the mythical world.
These Mythical Giant Beasts occupied the passageway entrances, subduing those Level 9 Giant Beasts with high potential, though their purpose was not yet clear.
It could be for the expansion of the established Beast Empire Forces, or possibly for ‘devouring’.
“Bro, dinner’s ready.”
“I’m coming.” Jack Clark returned to his senses and stood up.
At the dinner table, Doris Clark asked, “Jack, how many days can you stay this time when you come back?”
Jack Clark thought for a moment, “I should be leaving on the 8th. Next, the Federation is going to organize some of the geniuses to go to a place. My cultivation should surge again there.”
Instantly, Glenn Clark’s eyes lit up, “Bro, you are already at the Seventh Layer Heaven. If you surge again, does that mean you are making a breakthrough to the Eight Layer Heaven?”
“Pretty much,” Jack Clark smiled.
Even if he didn’t enter the ancient relics, it would only be about a month before he could break through to the Eight Layer Heaven with the pace he was going.
However, upon entering the ancient relics, his primary goal was World Origin. As for anything else like innate runes or Law Fragments, all those were secondary.
Glenn Clark got excited, “Bro, you haven’t even finished the next semester and you’re breaking through to Eight Layer Heaven already. Doesn’t that mean there’s a chance you’ll break through to the Ninth Heavens within a year?”
Jack Clark smiled, “There is that possibility.”
In front of his family, Jack Clark’s mood was relaxed, and he spoke without the ‘humility’ he exhibited outside.
Glenn Clark exclaimed in awe, “If it’s really Ninth Heavens in a year, bro, you’ll be insanely amazing.”
Doris Clark frowned in mild annoyance, “Jim, watch your language, be civilized. You’re a junior high school student, how come your manners degrade the more you study?”
Glenn Clark chuckled sheepishly.
While the family dined, the news broadcast on the nearby television switched scenes.
“Next is international news. Due to the influence of the typhoon, the Berlin East Coast, southeast coast of Tarudoos Country and Mordro Coast all suffered tsunami attacks of varying intensities.”
“This tsunami affected three countries, displacing millions of people and causing property damage exceeding ten billion.”
“However, because the tsunami was predicted well in advance and evacuation was organized before the tsunami hit, there were no significant casualties.”
“Currently, a search has begun for some curious individuals who went missing. We hope they are safe and well. Next is the news from Simon country…”
Doris Clark couldn’t help but sigh, “Faced with such natural disasters, we humans are still very insignificant.”
“Yeah,” Glenn Clark nodded in agreement.
However, both were unaware that one source of it all was seated right in front of them.
Jack Clark glanced at the news, unconcerned. In a battle of that magnitude, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon surely could not hold back, and there was nothing it could do about the tsunamis caused by the residual battles.
After all, it had already moved far from the shore.
Once dinner was finished, Jack Clark helped clean up the dishes and utensils in the kitchen, then excused himself, “Mom, I’m going upstairs to cultivate.”
“Go ahead.”
As soon as Jack Clark went upstairs, Glenn Clark excitedly grabbed his fishing backpack and called out, “Mom, I’m going fishing too.”
But just as Glenn was about to step out, Doris Clark suddenly said in a low voice, “Jim, when you go out and interact with others, don’t talk too much about your brother, understand?”
“Huh?” Glenn Clark looked puzzled.
Doris Clark spoke softly, “The better talents your brother shows, the more we need to keep a low profile and not to cause trouble for him or draw envy from those around us.”
“Right now, Jack needs to cultivate quietly, understand?”
Although Jack Clark spoke of reaching the Ninth Heavens within a year at the dinner table in a joking manner,
even reaching the Eight Layer in a year, with Jack Clark’s talent, there’s hope for a breakthrough to the Nine Layers, and even attaining king-level strength—a height that stands atop the Federation.
Under these circumstances, as family, their role was to stay discreet, to not drag down his progress, as they were ordinary people after all.
And this is a sentiment shared by most parents across the world.
They feel happy and proud of their children’s achievements but do not care about how much their children repay them; instead, they worry about not causing any trouble.
Faced with Doris Clark’s admonition, Glenn Clark grinned and said, “Don’t worry, Mom, I get it. No need to be the one shot at when sneaking into the village. Once bro becomes a king-level strong man, our family will be awesome.”
Finally, Doris Clark couldn’t hold back and reached up to tap Glenn’s head gently, “Where did you learn these words? Be civilized, you hear me?”
…
Upstairs.
In his room, Jack Clark was seated cross-legged, his keen hearing naturally catching the subdued conversation below, a gentle warmth showing in his eyes.
Then Jack Clark refocused his attention, looking at the 2000 Points Attribute on the transparent page before him, a thought echoed in the realm of thought, “Burn 1000 points, enter the epiphany state.”
Boom!
Jack Clark’s consciousness roared, his thinking became clear and sensitive once more, everything between heaven and earth felt simple.
Many questions in cultivation seemed to be understood instantly with just a little thought.
At the same time, the Heavenly Energy was once again drawn, swarming in to form an energy vortex above the small courtyard, being devoured by the black hole-like presence of Jack Clark below.
