Chapter 961 - 960: All Ascended
Through Ye Gong and Diego Jacobs, along with four others, Yusuf Zuck and his group gradually came to understand the Element World, and an embryonic image of the Element World began to take shape in their minds.
Of course, although these four had some knowledge of the secret affairs of the Element World, they had never actually been there themselves; thus, the information they possessed was passed down from higher planes.
After sitting under the Sky Reaching Ancient Tree and talking through the night with everyone, Yusuf Zuck found a secluded spot the next day, took out the Purple Light Sword, and began to repeat yesterday’s actions, drop after drop of the dew of merit was dripped onto it.
However, after another day passed, Yusuf Zuck was completely drained, feeling as if he had been hollowed out. The Sword Spirit within the Purple Light Sword still hadn’t emerged, as if the sword were a bottomless pit that couldn’t be filled no matter how much he fed it.
"I can’t continue," Yusuf Zuck decisively stopped. He knew full well the state of his body. He hadn’t felt anything amiss when using the dew of merit in small doses before; however, after these last two days of massive consumption, he realized that such depletion left his spirit exhausted, his entire body aching.
This feeling was similar to indulging in excess, where overindulgence could lead to a rapid decline in health.
He dared not continue trying, as there was no urgency; he had not frequently used the Purple Light Sword, so it wouldn’t be too late to study it after he grew stronger in the future.
"Hmm, I’ll go out to meet Elijah Burch, and then I’ll pick up Sara and the others from the Star of Hao Yue before returning to the Saint Dragon Continent. After that, I’ll try to see if I can return to Earth!"
