Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 224 It's You!

Garvin laughed slightly, "I bet if you were one of my descendants, you would have no problem being able to comprehend and understand soul laws without any bottlenecks till the Fifth Stage."

Davis nodded his head and understood that it was related to being a descendant of a powerful expert. Even so, he looked incredibly downcast, thinking that he wouldn't be able to comprehend laws that easily.

'Would I have to rely on Fallen Heaven eternally?' When his thoughts traveled in this direction, he didn't feel one bit good about any of this!

"This is the natural law of the universe. Otherwise, with infinite resources, wouldn't we humans be able to dominate the entire fifty-two territories?" Garvin laughed loudly, not intending to stop anytime sooner.

After a while, Davis stood up and uttered, "How do I learn light soul laws?"

"There is a lot of ways to comprehend, but before that, I want to see your Soul Forging Cultivation Manual."

Davis didn't have a copy of it but he recited his Soul Forging Cultivation Manual, Sacred Luminance Mist.

As he kept reciting, Garvin's eyes glowed as a surprised expression emerged on his face.

"What is this? Who would be so stupid as to include the soul laws in the cultivation manual itself!?"

"Why, is it wrong?" Davis was confused. The layers that he would comprehend automatically in the manual were precisely those laws which were recorded.

"It isn't wrong by itself, but no one here creates cultivation manuals with laws, fearing for their secrets and safety. Besides, each law is so vast that not everyone will be able to comprehend the same laws as the author of the manual."

"So, what's recorded in here is pretty much useless to others other than the method to cultivate itself!"

Davis suddenly understood! 'So that's why I kept feeling that I didn't understand much when it comes to soul comprehension!'

It was the same as how one memorizes the answer and writes it on the answer sheet without understanding it.

It was all the comprehension of others, not his!

"Well, since this manual is a Sky Grade Cultivation Manual and you have only reached the Adult Soul Stage, it is still fine as one doesn't need to understand deep about laws before the Fifth Stage."

"Only after reaching the Fifth Stage will you know how vast the laws are, so before that there is a saying that all law comprehensions before Fifth Stage amounts to nothing but a child's comprehension; mere elementary laws."

Davis's eyes twitched as he heard Garvin's mocking voice, 'Child's Comprehension…'

Garvin then proceeded to explain the division of laws systematically.

…

Second day…

Garvin finished explaining the intricacies about the first three stages. He even took the time took the time to teach light laws; albeit vaguely.

Davis felt his knowledge had increased by leaps and bounds in a single day.

He even felt his soul comprehension strengthening his Soul Sea slightly though the effects outside were negligible since his soul was already powered by Fallen Heaven.

To this, he was deflated. This and future insights would be only useful to him if one day Fallen Heaven proves to be useless which would be highly unlikely any time sooner.

…

Third day…

"… is unlikely to be the case. Before reaching the Fifth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation, if your soul body is exterminated, you will die but once you reach the Fifth Stage, even if your soul body is extinguished in any case, you are unlikely to die instantly as your Soul Essence lies in your soul sea, not your soul body."

Davis questioned, "Do you mean that my soul body can act independently and even if it dies, I won't need to worry if it will result in my death?"

"Yes, as long as you can keep your Soul Essence intact, but your soul will be severely injured. Only by using equal grade herbs or pills specializing in soul healing will you be able to recover from the injuries to the soul."

"…"

"Any questions?" Garvin asked with a sigh.

Davis blinked, "… How much of a distance can my soul body exist independently without me being close to it?"

"That depends on how long your Soul Sense can extend. If your soul body leaves that range then it will slowly lose soul force and wane away into the endless void."

"What else?" Garvin asked as he sighed again.

"Nothing…"

"Well, that concludes your lesson on Adult Soul Stage." A smile lit up on Garvin's face.

He had been teaching and pounding the basics of the Adult Soul Stage into Davis but the latter just seemed to come up with thousands of questions, annoying him to a great extent.

…

Fourth Day…

"What is this?" Davis asked as he looked at the weird vial in Garvin's hands.

"This is the soul of a Fifth Stage Soul Cultivator…" Garvin laughed and removed the cap sealing the vial.

"Sev… Severin!!!" Davis uttered as he froze.

A soul body in a shackled form came out and looked at Davis with an ugly expression on its face.

"Bastard! It's you!!"

Davis's face slowly turned into one of joy, yet the other party knew that it wasn't something out of pure concern but malice, "Surprisingly, you're still alive!"

He then turned to look at Garvin Woller.

"Brat, don't look at me like that. I figured that instead of me doing the explaining, it would be better if you observe an intact Elder Soul Stage Soul."

Davis was taken aback but nodded his head. He then turned his head and placed his gaze on Severin, "I can do whatever I want with this?"

"You can, but make sure you some gain insights into the next stage before doing something nasty with it."

Davis grinned, "Alright…"

Severin was ticked off and scared at the same time. They were talking about him like he was an object and not a living soul anymore.

But since he was scared, he didn't dare to open his mouth.
