Chapter 193
Jonathan did not eat the elixir pill, but instead, he shut the lid of the sandalwood box because he felt
that he needed to understand the pill better.
Later, Jonathan flipped open the guidebook about Divine Realm.
There was nothing special about it as it looked the same as a normal published book. Upon flipping
open the cover page, he smelled a fragrance before several rows of words caught his eyes on the first
page.
All disciples of the Divine Realm must act in ordance with these eight rules. If anyone vites these
rules, they will be killed without mercy! If you have any doubts, you can appeal to The Inquisition!
Jonathan could sense the stern and unforgiving undertone of those words. Despite the fact that many
aspects of Divine Realm seem humane and all the disciples were treated as employees of an
internationalpany and were givenprehensive benefits, Divine Realm was not apany.
As he flipped the guidebook, he read through the eight rules. First rule: Disciples of Divine Realm are
not allowed to harm or kill each other. Those who vite this rule will be killed without mercy! Second
rule: External disciples of Divine Realm must obey inner disciples unconditionally. Those who vite
this rule will be killed without mercy! Third rule: External disciples of Divine Realm must respect Gold-
tier disciples. If they are disrespectful, Gold-tier disciples have the right to take action against them
before reporting the issue. Fourth rule: All external disciples of Divine Realm, including Gold-tier
disciples, must never kill any other disciples of Divine Realm even when they are not within Divine
Realm headquarters. Those who vite this rule will be killed without mercy!
Jonathan let out a sigh of relief when he saw the fourth rule. That means I''m still safe when I step out of
Divine Realm.
He then continued reading the rules. Fifth rule: If the disciples are in the headquarters of Divine Realm,
they have to pay their respects to Divine Emperor at seven in the morning. Those who vite this rule
will be killed without mercy! Sixth rule: Even if the disciples are not at the headquarters of Divine
Realm, they have to pay respect to Divine Emperor at least twelve times a year. Those who vite this
rule will be expelled from Divine Realm. Seventh rule: The disciples of Divine Realm must never
nder the reputation of Divine Realm, never damage the reputation of Chanaea, and never bully the
weak. Those who vite this rule will be killed without mercy! If there is any exceptional justification for
doing so, you can appeal to The Inquisition. Eighth rule: Those who do achieve a cultivation level of
Celestial Soul three years after joining Divine Realm will be killed without mercy!
Thest rule instantly made Jonathan''s heart pound in his chest.
That rule was clearly putting pressure on the outer disciples. It was reminding them that Divine Realm
was not a nursing home, so they should not be too rxed there.
Also, it served as a warning to the disciples that Divine Realm would not tolerate useless people.
After getting familiar with the eight rules, Jonathan continued flipping through the pages.
The back pages of the guidebook contained introductions to Divine Realm, such as the administration
department, logistics department, The Inquisition, the punishment tform, and so on.
Divine Realm had strict rules, but the disciples were rewarded promptly and punished justly. All the
departments in there were well organized.
In addition, Jonathan also saw some exnations beyond the eight rules.
It mentioned that several people can receive the same task at the same time. During thepletion of
the mission, there was no restriction on the disciples, and they were allowed to harm each other in the
course of the mission.
Jonathan was taken aback when he saw that.
The reward of each task was limited, and some difficult tasks only had one Precious Pill or Immortal Pill
as a reward.
If several people epted the task at the same time, it was very likely that they would kill each other in
order to get the Immortal Pill.
Moreover, epting tasks did not require the consent of others.
One would only have to ept the task within the specified time limit.
For instance, considering Jeremy and Jonathan were enemies, and Jonathan had epted a task,
Jeremy could also log in to the official website to ept the same task.
After epting the task, Jeremy could kill Jonathan while they were still on the mission as that was
legal and allowed in Divine Realm.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
It was just that there had always been an abundance of tasks on the official website, so the disciples
would never choose to ept the same one. There were enough tasks for each of them to work on a
different one unless they were doing it out of hatred.
In fact, Divine Realm might have deliberately set that rule.
Moreover, once the task was epted, it must bepleted within the specified time limit, or else the
disciple would receive a heavy punishment.
If a person failed toplete the task within the time limit after he epted it, he would be punished
by Divine Realm, and the punishment was extremely brutal.
It would make one beg for death, as the disciple would be sealed off in ice for ten years!
Being sealed off in ice did not mean that the disciple would be literally sealed in ice. People were not
like frogs and snakes that could hibernate. Doing so would lead to death. In fact, the punishment
entailed that the disciple would be jailed in a small dark room for ten years.
Within the ten years, he would not be allowed to step out of the room. Also, he would not be able to
differentiate day and night. He would have to eat, drink, and do everything else in that room.
It was an utterly terrifying punishment, so everyone would be extremely cautious when epting tasks.
In fact, none of them would take the same task as another person as it would increase the difficulty of
the task.
Everyone treated the strict rules of Divine Realm seriously.
In addition, even if two persons were enemies and they epted the same task, they could kill each
other legally under one condition - they were not allowed to work with outsiders to kill each other.
Those who vited this rule would be killed without mercy.
For instance, once Jeremy and Jonathan epted the same task, Jonathan was allowed to find
helpers like Mabel, Polly, and Simon.
Since Simon did not ept the task, he was purely helping Jonathan. After the task waspleted,
the reward would be given to Jonathan.
However, since Simon did not ept the task, he could not help Jonathan kill Jeremy.
Mabel and Polly were outsiders, so if they colluded with Jonathan to kill Jeremy, Jonathan was
considered to have vited the rule.
Some people might secretly kill other disciples while they were on the mission.
In actuality, someone had done it before and he even did it carefully, but he was still executed after he
returned to Divine Realm.
Divine Emperor seemed to be omnipresent in Divine Realm. No matter what one had done, if one had
vited the rules of Divine Realm, the punishment tform would be able to see it right away.
Looking at the guidebook, Jonathan vaguely understood how the punishment tform would know that
the disciple had vited the rules. It probably has something to do with the badge imprinted on our
arms.
Moreover, no one was allowed to nder Divine Emperor or secretly curse him. Once someone had
done it, Divine Realm would find out and kill the person without mercy.
Jonathan finally understood that once he stepped into Divine Realm, Divine Emperor would know
everything about him.
There was another hint in the guidebook - when the disciples of Divine Realm performed tasks, the
marks on their arms could easily reveal their identities.
If they wanted to hide the mark, they could direct their power of vitality to that part of their arm.
The mark would be hidden after that.
Finally, Jonathan saw the introduction of elixir pills in the guidebook.
There was a Luminary Vessel in Divine Realm, and it contained countless formations and mysteries.
All the elixir pills in Divine Realm were refined using Luminary Vessel.
There were detailed introductions of elixir pills which came with pictures and texts.
It was exactly as Mabel had said. There were five tiers of elixir pills - Spirit Pill, Precious Pill, Immortal
Pill, Heaven Pill, and Divine Pill.
Also, there were a total of forty-nine kinds of elixir pills refined by Divine Realm, and each of their
effects was listed clearly.
There were three kinds of Heaven Pill, namely Life Essence Pill, Fire Cloud Pill, and Nascent Pill.
Yet, there were eight types of Immortal Pill and many types of Precious Pill and Spirit Pill.
The cultivation that the user needed to achieve and the effect and the side effects after taking it were
written in detail for each type of elixir pill.
Jonathan wanted to know more about the elixir pill that he had received.
He found out that his pill was a Spirit Pill, and that did not surprise him at all. Well. It can''t be a Heaven
Pill. Also, Spirit Pill is extremely precious. It is priceless in the market. Alice was right. We got a
valuable gift indeed.
The elixir pill that Jonathan received was a Spirit Gathering Pill. The pill had a miraculous effect on the
masters in the Nascent Soul level. It could help the masters in the early stage of Nascent Soul to break
through the obstacles in the middle stage to release vigor.
At that moment, Jonathan knew what to expect while he sat with his legs crossed on the couch. He
then swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill.
After the Spirit Gathering Pill entered his abdomen, some changes happened.
It was extremely hard before it was swallowed, but it instantly melted in his stomach just like chocte
tossed into the fire.
The medicinal power disintegrated before the nutrition spread throughout Jonathan''s body.
It was a peculiar feeling, and Jonathan could feel that his cells were starving.
Initially, he thought that he was full, but now he realized that his body was in a state of malnutrition.
The medicinal effect of the Spirit Gathering Pill was absorbed by Jonathan''s cells quickly, and when he
opened his eyes again, he saw Catherine in front of him.
Thetter was looking at him as well.
Jonathan then smiled and suggested, “Are you done? I''ll blow your hair.”
Catherine nodded before Jonathan went to get the hairdryer.
Since the equipment provided was all-inclusive, he found a hairdryer with ease.
While Jonathan was blowing Catherine''s hair, he was quietly feeling the changes in his body.
His cells were clearly still starving.
Before that, he had been strengthening his vitality, but he seemed to have discovered something - the
Spirit Gathering Pill had activated his cells, and the cells began to absorb nutrients after that.
Jonathan knew that if the cells absorbed enough nutrients, they could produce more power.
Right now, he could feel a huge contrast between the starving cells and his powerful vitality.
The unbnced situation would make it difficult for Jonathan''s cultivation to rise as it was imbnced.
Jonathan could finally understand Mabel''s words.
She said that masters in Celestial Soul needed elixir pills to make progress.
While she was still in Nascent Soul, she could still rely on vitality for enhancement.
Although it was difficult, the power of vitality could still support the upgrade.
However, once one reached Celestial Soul, they needed to feed their cells. Gabriel had mentioned that
in order for a spiritual fighter to achieve certain cultivation stages, he needed to take pills.
Jonathan still had doubts. After Catherine''s hair had been dried, he went to the balcony to call Mabel.
“I have officially be a Bronze-level external disciple of Divine Realm,” said Jonathan.
Mabel smiled and replied, “Congrattions.”
Then, Jonathan muttered, “I have a question.”
“Ask away,” Mabel said.
Jonathan then exined, “I just swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill which Divine Realm gifted me...”
