Divine Emperor of Death

Davis came forward and placed his big hand on Edward's head as he patted. He removed the restriction posed by his soul force on him and said, "Hey little brother, haven't seen you since you were a little baby, you alright?"

Edward held his own sleeves, experiencing an unknown emotion he had never experienced before. A feeling of admiration, tinged with warmth, all shot towards his heart in an instant.

A tear formed in his eyes as he uttered, "Elder Brother..."

Davis pulled him into a hug and smiled. He rubbed his back, comforting him till Edward poured out his emotions silently.

To Edward, the tales of his brother was his all-time favorite. 

Having never seen Davis since he was able to think for himself, his elder brother's figure was something he admiringly looked up to.

"Diana, what are you making Edward do?" Davis said as he confiscated the stuff that was in Edward's hands.

It looked like some powder packed in a pill that could explode to spread the contents into the air.

Davis examined it and his eyes frowned, 'It's a type of sleep-inducing powder...'

'What were they actually going to do with me once I slept?' Davis had his doubts but with his Cultivation, this powder wouldn't necessarily work on him.

Seeing that it was just a harmless prank, he decided to forgive them.

But...

"Diana, care to explain how you obtained this?" Davis smiled with a menacing look in his eyes.

Although it couldn't affect him, it was powerful enough to affect Third Stage Cultivators to an extent.

Diana avoided her brother's gaze and looked away as she let out a faint laugh, "Haha..."

Seeing that she didn't explain, Davis decided to leave her alone for now.

"Alright, alright, you two came back in the middle of the competition to meet me, so I shall not bother about this anymore..." He uttered and turned to Edward, "Show me your cultivation..."

Edward nodded with excitement, quite eager to display his cultivation and earn praise from the person he admired.

He looked at his elder brother and took a deep breath, displaying his cultivation.

Lightning crackled lighting sparks around his body as he took a fighting pose while keeping his hands near to his chest.

His pose changed and then a pure reddish-brown aura revolved around him, giving off a slight pressure to the air around.

Davis nodded his head in satisfaction and astonishment.

'Looks like the Spirit Stones played a part in his cultivation, and hers as well...'

Davis already knew his little brother's cultivation as he already had probed him with his Soul Sense, including Diana.

Edward's Cultivation was at Peak-Level Energy Condensation Stage, Peak-Level Copper Stage.

While Diana's cultivation was at the same stage, she was quite weak in Body Cultivation compared to her little brother.

She was at Peak-Level Energy Condensation Stage and High-Level Copper Stage.

From this, it could be seen that Edward was putting in more effort compared to Diana since he was a year younger than her.

And it seemed that Edward also trained in Extinction Lightning Judgement, the same Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual that Davis trained in.

As for Diana...

Davis asked as he looked at Diana, "What about you Diana, care to display your cultivation technique for your elder brother?" 

Diana placed her hands on her waist and pouted, "Elder Brother, you are just like Elder Sister in this case. Always discussing cultivation, even at this time of our reunion, hmph!"

Davis laughed and flicked his finger at her forehead, "Silly, cultivation is for the sake of self-protection. If you don't have enough power when you're alone, consider yourselves subject to the whims of others who are stronger than you..."

Diana held her forehead as she felt wronged, "But I have you and all to protect me..."

"Didn't I tell you? I said when you are alone..." Davis smiled as he shook her hair, "At that time, who can possibly protect you?"

Diana went silent.

"See, only you can protect yourself when you're alone, or if you want to be protected all the time, you have no choice but to be subjected to the opinion of others."

"And if you are not strong, then you can only live under another person's rule and listen to their orders whether if they are your parents or even your enemies, you understand?"

Diana nodded her head. Her eyes had a glint as she listened to her elder brother. She wasn't like her elder sister, who she deemed to be as a cultivation fanatic.

She was more like the type to roam free around the world, doing whatever she wanted to, like a female young master type.

But now, what her brother just said slightly opened her eyes to the world outside.

A thought gradually formed in her mind and a seed was planted, 'Strength equals free will!'

Davis smiled as he looked at this cunning younger sister of his, who knows what kind of demoness would she become?

As long as his twisted advice motivated her to cultivate, why not?

"But even if you have no need to listen to someone, there are limits to everything, you understand?" Davis added, unsure if his previous advice might inversely affect her growth and character.

Diana nodded her head faster than ever and spoke, "Don't worry brother, I at the least, know of the difference between right and wrong!"

Davis secretly heaved a sigh of relief and nodded his head wisely, "All right, now then, display your cultivation."

Diana took two steps back and slightly twisted her waist as she pointed upwards.

Her body slowly emanated a formless barrier around her as if restricting the entry of foreign objects.

'She practiced a wind type cultivation manual?' Davis thought as continued to gaze at her.

The formless specks of wind spread around her moved in two directions and created two more silhouettes that looked exactly like her for a moment before disappearing.

Diana took a deep breath before she returned to a normal posture, smiling at her elder brother.

"I train in a Wind and Illusion type Cultivation Manual known as the Indus Illusion World."

Once he heard that name, Davis instantly recalled the details of the Cultivation Manual from his memory.

"It's that Low-Level Sky Grade Manual created by someone known as Indus some unknown years ago. The library has records he had killed numerous experts above him strength while using this technique..." Davis uttered as he nodded.

Diana shook her head, "But I am still not able to control illusions to a perfect degree..."

"When you enter Revolving Core is the time when you will be able to at least control the laws that you train in, so don't worry." Davis consoled but then thought of what Old Man Garvin said.
