Chapter 1011: Chapter 311 Spoils of War from the Voodoo Master_3 Chapter 1011: Chapter 311 Spoils of War from the Voodoo Master_3 Leonard Churchill furrowed his brows tighter as he read on, muttering to himself from ti to ti.
Hester was a bona fide Seventh Tier.
According to her cultivation notes, the Southern Continent also boasted countless individuals of exceptional talent, all of whom had attempted to advance on their own by comprehending Divine Power.
But the reality was cruel.
To advance to the Seventh Tier as a card master was already a talent among ten thousand.
And amongst those, the ones who could understand Divine Power on their own were even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
How difficult it was, Hester couldn’t even describe.
But Leonard saw from her cultivation notes that she had tried very hard, spending nearly ten years in the process, yet she failed.
In the end, she had chosen to increase the purity of her Dragon Descendant bloodline and only with the help of Dragon’s Might did she step over the threshold of the Seventh Tier.
Most of the top-rank card masters in the Southern Continent had followed this sa path.
“Do I also have to, like the Old Man, be stuck at this threshold for decades?”
Leonard thought of this with a headache.
Before comparing, he did not know any better.
Now, after looking through Hester’s cultivation notes, he understood that Barre Shepherd was truly remarkable.
In the Southern Continent, there were many Secret Skills and special potions to assist the comprehension of Divine Power, but those who succeeded were still few. Yet that old man managed to feel his way through the darkness on his own and truly made it…
Everyone knew that comprehending Divine Power on one’s own would an a higher ceiling for future potential.
But from between the lines, Leonard could see the word “esoteric.”
It wasn’t a path where effort guaranteed results.
It wasn’t as if there were no geniuses in the Southern Continent; many proud talents chose to undergo secluded and arduous cultivation.
However, the result was that after decades of desolate ditation, very few succeeded; the vast majority wasted years in vain and still couldn’t take the final step.
No matter how he looked at it, “luck” and “esoterism” seed to play a bigger part than effort.
Leonard looked at the sheepskin scroll and muttered, “This is difficult…”
He thought that perhaps in the future, he might need to look for cultivation secret thods related to Divine Power.
…
Maybe it was Leonard’s muttering that disturbed her, but at this mont, Sophia Jones, who hadn’t opened her eyes for days, suddenly spoke up, “What’s wrong?”
Leonard held up the sheepskin scroll and said, “This. It’s about Divine Power Cultivation.”
Thinking that Sophia was also at the threshold of the Seventh Grade, he handed her the scroll, translated the content in Dragon Language for her, and shrugged, “According to this, comprehending Divine Power seems very difficult…”
“Indeed, it is very difficult.”
As Sophia looked at the text on the sheepskin scroll, her eyes’ divine glow slightly subsided, showing seriousness.
She had struggled in this realm for no short ti.
Of course, she could appreciate the difficulty of that threshold more than Leonard.
Yet she had thought of sothing and said, “However, during our ti at Gold-digging Dock, Barre Shepherd gave a few of us Legends so guidance. Now, there seems to be so clue.”
Sophia Jones continued, looking at Leonard as if to offer guidance, “If you focus on the cultivation of ‘Fighting Intent,’ it might be easier.”
“…”
Of course, Leonard knew that.
Barre Shepherd had already spoken to him about this “veteran’s experience” long ago.
But the cultivation of “Intention” had no mantra or technique; it grew through continuous trials and tribulations.
Even if spoken about, this thod made little difference from being left unsaid.
At least for Leonard, the only benefit was that in certain dire situations, he had a comforting rationale to justify his actions.
“Hmm…”
Sophia hesitated for a mont, as if wanting to say sothing.
But without reaching a certain realm, even if she spoke, Leonard wouldn’t understand.
She glanced at Leonard Churchill’s slightly pursed lips and understood what was troubling him.
Despite being at the Fourth Tier, it was as if he could foresee the inevitable bottlenecks others would encounter in their life.
The more talented a person is, the more pride they tend to have.
In her eyes, Leonard Churchill was the most outstanding of them all.
Sophia Jones was certain that if he ever reached that point in the future, he would not take a step back and seek shortcuts, but rather would choose to confront “Divine Power” head-on.
That’s why he was troubled.
This kind of obsession could beco a driving force, but if unresolved, it could also beco a hindrance.
Leonard Churchill was obviously unaware of his own “obsessiveness”; though he verbally expressed his difficulties, his heart was quite calm.
The Seventh Grade was still too far off.
Curiously, he looked at Sophia Jones and asked, “Aunt Jones, do you now feel confident about reaching the Seventh Grade?”
After thinking for a mont, Sophia Jones spoke with precision, “Hmm… Before, I wasn’t very confident that I could advance by comprehending ‘Divine Power’ on my own. According to Senior Barre Shepherd, I still lacked so experience and fortune. But now…”
She paused, then added, “The old ancestor who made a contract with beca my Accompanied Immortal Aegis Animal; the things I didn’t understand before, I now grasp. Perhaps, it won’t be a problem anymore.”
These past few days, she had clearly made significant gains.
Listening to her, Leonard Churchill felt happy for her, “Oh?”
He raised an eyebrow and with a playful tone joked, “Then in the future, I will have to rely on Aunt Jones quite a bit.”
His words were unabashed, his thick-skinned expression clearly conveying his intent to “cling to a wealthy woman” and “ride on coattails”.
Sophia Jones smiled joyfully, well aware that he was joking.
But she unusually refrained from modesty, and as if a thought struck her, she hinted with a subtle smile, “If you truly reach that bottleneck, when it cos right down to it, I can actually help you out a bit.”
Hearing this, Leonard Churchill exclaid in delight, “Ah?”
Was a joke he made offhandedly really possible?
No sooner had Sophia Jones spoken than she seed to swallow back her words, simply saying, “If you can ‘comprehend’ while in the Sixth Tier, we’ll talk then.”
“Hmm?”
Leonard Churchill felt that she hadn’t finished her thought.
“This…”
Sophia Jones noticed Leonard Churchill’s inquisitive look and furrowed her brows slightly.
Considering the nature of their relationship, there was no need to hold back.
After a mont of contemplation, she slowly said, “While I can’t assist you in comprehending Divine Power, if one day you co across the threshold of a ‘Domain’, I… I do have so secret thods that could help you successfully comprehend it. At least, my ‘Descending Gods,’ you’ll likely be able to comprehend.”
Leonard Churchill blinked, guessing with a slight surprise, “The God Thief secret thod of the White Family?”
He recalled the benefits Sophia Jones had ntioned about the contract with her Accompanied Immortal Aegis Animal.
It sounded like a similar thod.
“Sothing like that,” she said.
Sophia Jones showed no intention of elaborating.
She lazily lifted her eyelids and gave Leonard Churchill a glance, her fleeting gaze seemingly hiding so unspoken words.
“Alright.”
Leonard Churchill chuckled, not pressing further.
If Sophia Jones had said so, then it must be possible.
“Domain” was also a significant threshold.
According to what Aragon and others said, “Domain” is usually a power of law control that Seventh-Order Card Masters can comprehend.
The East Continent is special because it was stuck at the Sixth Tier for three thousand years. Thus, many predecessors who perished at the Sixth Tier had gleaned so forward-looking experiences, creating the special “Legend” realm, a semi-step into the Seventh Grade.
Now having mastered the Divine Skill “Catastrophe · Ground Roar,” Leonard Churchill would certainly be able to touch upon the “Domain” more easily than others.
Additionally, with Sophia Jones’s “Descending Gods” by his side, it sounded very promising.
