I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 189

Jonathan chuckled and said, “We'll go to your place then. I'll get some snacks and beer. Let's have a chat while we drink.”

“Okay!” answered Mabel.

An hour later, Jonathan arrived at Appleton Residences, where Mabel lived. He parked his car and went into the elevator.

Mabel was already home when Jonathan knocked on the door. Her voice could be heard coming from the other side of the door. “Don't you have the keys?”

Hearing that, Jonathan was displeased with her. Geez, is it that hard to walk a few steps to open the door for me? What a sluggard! Although he had those thoughts in mind, Jonathan dared not say them out loud. He immediately pulled out his own set of keys to unlock the door.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Jonathan saw Mabel clad in comfortable pajamas, lounging on the couch with her hair down as she watched an animated show on the television.

He was taken aback when he realized what animation she was watching.

“Yo, Mabel. You're watching 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears?” asked Jonathan in surprise as he entered the house with beer and food in his hands.

Since his hands were full, he pushed the door shut using his foot.

“What's wrong with that? There's no law saying I can't watch it.” Mabel took a brief glance at him and

said lazily.

Jonathan did not dwell on the topic and began to set the table with the food he had bought - stir-fried butter escargot, spicy chicken wings, and peanuts. Later, he handed Mabel a can of beer and asked, “Didn't you say you were a busy woman? Why do you look like you have been lazing around all day?”

Rolling her eyes, she replied, “My duty today is to rest the entire day. You should be honored that I took time off to meet with you.”

“All right, whatever you say.” Just like that, Jonathan was defeated by her words.

After taking a sip of beer, Mabel broached the subject. “So, tell me. Why did you want to meet?”

“I would like to join the Department of National Security,” answered Jonathan with a solemn expression on his face.

Mabel was slightly taken aback upon hearing his interest in joining the Department of National Security. She could not help but ask, “You were hell-bent on not joining the department back then. What made you change your mind?”

“I didn't want to get involved in the past. Now that I'm in too deep, I might as well join the department,” he answered.

“Well, thank you for your interest, but I don't think you need to join the Department of National Security for the time being.”

“Why?” Jonathan was curious.

“Although you'll get convenience, the department itself is also restrictive. As long as you listen to my commands and assist me in resolving some matters, you are not required to join. That way, you'll have much more freedom. What do you think?” explained Mabel.

Jonathan smiled wryly and said, “I wanted to make you happy, but now that you've said it, I'll take your advice. It has been decided then.”

Mabel returned his smile and said, “I have already informed the executives about you. If something were to happen to me one day, you will be in charge of the entire Department of National Security.”

Jonathan was startled upon hearing her words. “What are you saying? Take it back!”

“You shouldn't treat this as a taboo topic. Both you and I are cultivators. Now that the Great Tribulation is approaching, you and I are both in this together. The difference is that you are the Chosen One, whilst I am not. Even if I die in the tragedy, it would be normal and nothing to be shocked over,” stated Mabel.

“As long as I'm still alive, I won't let anyone hurt you,” Jonathan declared in a low voice.

Upon hearing that, Mabel was stunned, but her gaze softened ever so slightly. “With those skills of yours? You should focus on protecting yourself first,” she teased before letting out a chuckle.

Then, she questioned, “I heard you've upgraded your cultivation again. That was fast!”

“That's right. It's middle-stage Nascent Soul now,” responded Jonathan.

Mabel nodded in awe. “You've reached the middle-stage Nascent Soul in the span of less than two months. I've got to admit, the rate of your improvement is impressive.”

“This is all thanks to Divine Realm's test. In critical moments, there is always an opportunity. Although the test was cruel, it helped in people's development,” said Jonathan.

“You'll be able to upgrade your cultivation even faster upon joining the Divine Realm. The organization is famous among fighters because it had undergone continuous development thanks to the effort and hard work of generations of Divine Realm members. If you tell people you are from the Divine Realm, you will be highly regarded, no matter where you are. Even the phrase 'Divine Realm' brings dignity,” explained Mabel.

Jonathan felt an inexplicable feeling of awe in his heart, and he could not help but say, “If that's the case, I simply cannot fathom what the Demon Emperor, Asura Emperor, Emperor of Chanaea, and Divine Emperor are like. I'm sure they've had a lot of interesting adventures throughout their lives. If I can reach their level, I will have no regrets in life.”

“I believe in you,” said Mabel, smiling.

Seeing how Mabel praised him, Jonathan scratched his head in embarrassment.

At least for now, he was still far from those top figures.

“Oh, right. I have another thing to say,” said Jonathan.

Mabel looked at him and asked curiously, “What is it?”

“I have something to teach you. It's called 'Requiem.'“

Taken aback, Mabel immediately asked, “That's the secret technique of the Harrington family. How are you going to teach me?”

“Don't worry. I've asked Grandpa for permission. He said I'm the heir of the Harrington family, and he doesn't mind where and how I use the technique,” explained Jonathan.

Hearing that, Mabel was relieved, and excitement flitted across her eyes. After all, she was also a spiritual fighter. It was natural for her to yearn to learn these techniques. In fact, her passion and interest in cultivation techniques were far greater than her love for wealth.

Jonathan immediately began explaining the mantra to Mabel, detailing even the most minute tips and tricks to mastering it.

With Mabel's level of cultivation, she was able to understand the principle of the technique rather quickly. Since she was already capable enough, she need not undergo underwater training in order to master the technique.

Mable's eyelids fluttered shut, and she began gathering Syllable Power in her mind. It did not take long for her to complete this step.

However, she quickly encountered a problem in the succeeding step, which was to locate the Haemocore.

No matter how hard she tried and followed Jonathan's instructions, she could not find it.

“Nope. I can't find the Haemocore at all,” said Mabel. A bitter smile hung on her lips after she opened her eyes.

“Of course, you just started. You'll definitely be able to find the Haemocore after giving it a few more tries,” Jonathan comforted.

However, Mabel disagreed with his words. Shaking her head, she uttered, “Even with my current cultivation level, if I fail once, it doesn't matter how many times I attempt it. It still won't work.”

From the looks of it, mastering the mantra mostly depends on fate. If I'm not fated to find the Haemocore, there's nothing I can do about it.

As Jonathan pondered over the situation, Catherine popped into his mind. He then said, “Catherine also never cultivated the Haemocore.”

“In that case, what I said wasn't wrong.” A slight smile appeared across Mabel's face as she continued, “Thank you anyway, Jonathan.”

“You don't have to thank me.” Embarrassed, Jonathan raised a hand and scratched his head shyly.

“By the way, I have a couple of things to tell you,” added Mabel.

“What is it?”

“Once you join the Divine Realm, there will be a leaderboard. The leaderboard ranks the top ten

external disciples of the organization, and Edward Weiss is on the top of the list.”

“What about Jeremy?” asked Jonathan.

“He's not on the leaderboard at all,” Mabel replied.

Jonathan found it hard to believe and exclaimed in surprise, “Jeremy's cultivation level is Celestial Soul, and he's not even on the leaderboard?”

“It's not easy to get onto the leaderboard. It will be updated every three years, which means it will be updated again next year. I hope to see you up there in a year's time.”

“I will try my best,” said Jonathan, his tone filled with determination.

“I believe in you, so please work harder from now on. Also, members of the Divine Realm do not solely rely on working hard to improve their cultivation. There are some excellent alchemists in the inner circle of the Divine Realm. The countless number of elixir pills they have will help boost your cultivation,” Mabel continued to explain.

“Are those elixir pills given to the disciples of the organization regularly?” asked Jonathan.

“In your dreams. Do you think money falls from the sky?” Mabel sneered and rolled her eyes at the man's question.

“Well...”

After a brief pause, she then continued, “There is also a mission board in Divine Realm. Every disciple

can access Divine Realm's official website and obtain missions. After completing a mission, one will be rewarded with elixir pills. Therefore, I'll need your assistance once you've joined the Divine Realm.”

“Official website?” Jonathan was perplexed. Divine Realm is such a mysterious group. Why would they have something so advanced?

However, he did not think much about it. “What do you need me to do?” he asked.

“I'm almost done cultivating, but I need the Fortune Pill from Divine Realm. Could you please try to get one for me?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Okay. I'll do it as soon as I join the organization.” Jonathan readily agreed to her request.

“No, don't be greedy. You must select missions based on their difficulty. Fortune Pill is a type of Immortal Pill. If you want it, you'll have to bear bigger risks,” explained Mabel hurriedly.

“Elixir pills have levels too?” Jonathan was confused.

“Of course. Elixir pills are extremely important to us, especially in late-stage cultivation. At your current level, Nascent Soul, you don't need to rely on them. However, once you've reached Celestial Soul, it'll be hard for you to upgrade your cultivation without the help of elixir pills. The pills can be categorized into five grades, namely Spirit Pill, Precious Pill, Immortal Pill, Heaven Pill, and Divine Pill,” Mabel elaborated.

Meanwhile, Jonathan listened attentively to her words. He had heard about elixir pills from Gabriel, but he learned so much more after Mabel's explanation.

“I heard that the Divine Realm only possesses three Heaven Pills. Needless to say, Divine Pill remains a legend. I don't think anyone has ever seen it. According to the records, a Divine Pill has its own mind and soul, and nobody knows where it is.”

“This is starting to sound like a fictional novel. How could the real world have something like that?” Jonathan could not seem to wrap his mind around this information.
