Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Davis continued to teach Soul Forging Cultivation to Logan and Claire as only they were able to keep up with his lecture. As for him, the more he touched upon the concepts and realized it himself, the more he was able to solidify his foundation at the Mature Soul Stage.

In this year, Logan had managed to break through to the High-Level Adult Soul Stage while Claire gracefully broke past the Young Soul Stage, entering Adult Soul Stage.

Not only did they breakthrough at the same time but their relationship also turned harmonious after their simultaneous breakthrough. This again increased their sync and their affection for each other.

Claire no longer insulted Logan and the latter also no longer dared to visit his harem without her consent. This formed a consensus and their husband and wife relationship turned for the better after being awkward for the first few months.

Claire also swallowed her pride and personally apologized to Violet as she heard that she had tried to harm her at a certain point at the time of the battle. She even spoke to her for some time, slightly understanding her which she didn’t do for all these years.

And Violet also managed to guess who protected her at that time from being burned by the flames after Logan threw her away from the room. She keenly guessed that after knowing from Logan that Davis was the one who orchestrated that entire scenario.

Nevertheless, she always looked at Davis with a grateful expression on her face but didn’t mention her debt of gratitude in thanks.

From the start, she had already come to secretly view him as a son figure as he was the one who convinced Logan to take responsibility for her in the beginning.

Royal Castle, Top Floor, Open Courtyard.

Davis sat on a bench as he looked at the beautiful blue bluish sky which had an amber hue because of the impending sunset.

In front of him was a pathway and the surroundings were filled with greenery as if it were a park from the modern earth.

Yes, Davis recreated the structure of the parks from Earth in this place with the help of various architects.

He hired them by using a few purple coins and showed them the image of the parks by projecting it with his Soul Sense. Without even much of a difference, they constructed the modern park he needed with ease in just a few hours.

Davis was baffled at their speed as it was the first time he saw cultivators build with various materials even though he knew how fast they could work. Their work was done in an hour and the place looked like a natural park.

Now, he sat there on a bench, enjoyed the silence and the breeze as it brushed past his face like it did in his past life.

After killing Mo Wuming, he mostly spent his time in parks such as this and these parks was the only place that could give him the serenity and calmness he needed at that time.

Forests weren’t too much to his liking as they were too quiet or noisy depending upon the season and the cries the insects made.

As he watched the skies turning orange, he wondered if he survive in space and he was really tempted to go there.

The bright orange sky didn’t hinder his eyes from seeing the bright stars, and there were even bigger silhouettes which he saw and assumed that they were planets.

But was that really the case? He couldn’t figure it out since he didn’t know much about spatial laws, nor could he travel to space in this realm.

’Ah, when I will be able to travel to space or what do you call it? The Immortal Realms? Upper Realms?’ Davis thought as he sighed but then he shook his head.

’But peaceful days are also the best. These two years, I had the best time of my life... especially with Evelynn...’ Davis smiled like a pervert when a lascivious figure flashed past his mind.

Truth be told, he was enamored by her beauty and treated her with his love almost every wee while dual cultivating at the same time.

If he could spend the rest of his life with his wife and family, how wonderful would that be?

His eyes glinted but the sigh that escaped from his mouth told the answer to his question.

He understood that as long as he couldn’t reach the visible peak of the Cultivation Path, all happiness is nothing but temporary. Unless he could completely control his fate, he would always feel that something would arrive and ruin the things he cared about.

For example, that mysterious entity which sealed Fallen Heaven.

Who was it? Where was that existence now? Somewhere far away? Somewhere near?

He didn’t know and couldn’t help but feel the impending crisis that could encroach upon him and his family in the future.

Even so, he tried his best to experience and enjoy the fulfilling days to the best of his life.

After all, stressing himself out would only provide to hinder his own growth and the ability to take the right action in a situation.

Suddenly, a wave of breeze swept past him.

When he turned his head, he saw Evelynn floating towards him from the air.

"What? Missing the First Layer already?" Evelynn floated near and sat with him, "It’s time..."

Davis blinked, "Oh... I won’t be teaching them anymore..."

Evelynn’s eyes widened in shock, "Why? What happened?"

Shaking his head, Davis replied, "I didn’t mean it like that. I’ve already taught them until the basics of the Elder Soul Stage."

"Sometimes, it’s better to let them comprehend by themselves rather than be trapped by the foreknowledge that I would impose upon them."

"In other words, if they keep relying on my teachings, they won’t be able to find their own path."

Evelynn nodded her head as she took his words to her heart. A feeling of admiration gradually formed in her heart for the nth time.

"As I always thought, you’re a million years ahead of me..."

Davis slightly avoided her admiring gaze as he looked away, slightly embarrassed.

In truth, he had just run out of materials and concepts to teach. He could teach them about Mature Soul Stage but he himself only had a vague knowledge of it.

To put it into words and teach other people? Too difficult!

Suddenly, Davis looked back at her.

Her head leaned on his shoulders as her head looked straight at the faraway scenery where the walls of the Royal Capital were visible.

Davis’s hand automatically reacted as if it was a preconceived reaction. His hand reached for her waist and settled on its supple softness.

He gauged Evelynn’s reaction but there was none. Slightly dissatisfied by the lack of reaction, he sent her a jolt of electricity.

"Ahhn!~" Evelynn’s eyes widened as she let out a shout while trembling. She turned to glare at Davis with her lazy yet sexy eyes.

Davis teasing her and she looking at him with a wronged expression was quite commonplace in their daily life.

Davis ran his fingers on her waist as he tried to reach her bosoms.

Evelynn swiftly caught his hand and shook her head. Her face was beet red but her gaze was determined.

Davis tried to move his hand but it was still forcefully held by Evelynn. He let out a chuckle and stopped his advances on her.

She never rejected his advances, not even once, even after being married while holding the advantage in private. But this time, there was quite a high amount of resistance from her.

It was obvious to him that she had no thoughts of doing it outside; out in the open.

Although Davis had his fantasies, he would not absolutely do it in front of others nor did he have the habit of exhibitionism.

Even if he did it outside, he would first make sure to set up a concealment formation before doing the deed, as he had once warned Young Master Jackson Lars while acting as an unscrupulous yet morally upright bandit.

"I’m close to breaking through, and I’m wondering if it is the right time..." Evelynn said as she again leaned on his shoulders.

Davis put his hand around her neck, "Well, that can only be gauged by you. If you feel that your foundation is strong enough then try having a breakthrough."

"That not what I’m talking about. As you know, condensing a law seed might bring out adverse effects to the dantian."

"Don’t worry, you won’t poison yourself to death in the process of condensing a law seed." Davis humorously chuckled.

Evelynn frowned as she spoke, "But I don’t have a poison attributed Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual to base my foundation upon..."

"That is..." Davis furrowed his brows, "... a little problematic."

"Didn’t you accumulate various poison attributed Cultivation Manuals in this whole year and you didn’t even manage to find one Sky Grade Cultivation Manual?" He asked.

Evelynn shook her head, "The highest grade manual I found was a Peak-Level Earth Grade Poison Attributed Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual, and that too came from the remnants of the Tritor Empire."

Davis nodded his head in understanding. Even the Emperor of Tritor Empire didn’t practice in a poison-attributed essence gathering cultivation manual, afraid that it would invite disaster from all other empires.

After all, in the Grand Sea Continent, the one who trained in poison arts would become the public enemy due to the preconceived notion that those who use poison were absolutely evil.

Some of the poison attributed cultivation manuals were actually so low in quality that they harmed the user. There were even some Body Tempering Cultivation Manuals using poison, but Evelynn threw them away without hesitation after taking a look at it.

It was obvious that one needed to swallow various types of poisonous ingredients to temper their body.

Evelynn didn’t opt to change her already powerful and dominant Body Tempering Cultivation Manual for this crappy poison attributed cultivation manual.

The Domineering Earth Dragon Arts were already powerful and robust enough to grant her immense strength and defense, and her husband had the Emperor Grade version, so her Body Tempering Cultivation was basically settled upon.

However, what she cared most about wasn’t this. If her body became poison-attributed, how would she even be able to dual cultivate with Davis anymore?

It would be more like she was sending poisonous vitality to him rather than actually helping him.

Davis sighed as he thought about her words. He didn’t actually help her with anything other than filtering the best poison-attributed cultivation manuals, afraid that she will become quite reliant on him. So he left her to have her own thoughts and actions about her cultivation.

He only advised her from time to time, not overly restricting her actions while she cultivated and comprehended her poison laws to the elementary level.

"I see... it’s true that with the cultivation manual in your hands, you’ll be able to have the right vision to condense the poison law seed."

Evelynn nodded her as she made a sound of agreement, "Hmm.."

"Then we might soon have to head to the first layer to find a suitable poison-attributed Sky Grade Cultivation Manual." Davis offhandedly commented.

Suddenly, Evelynn sat straight and replied, "No!"

Davis let out a chuckle, "Don’t worry, I’m planning on breaking through the Fifth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation and Sixth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation before heading to the First Layer. We got plenty of time..."

Evelynn pouted her lips as her eyes narrowed, understanding that she had been duped.

They had talked about this a lot in the past, and although their opinions differed, they came to a consensus like this...

Davis and Evelynn would secretly follow Logan and Claire when they travel to the First Layer once they all completed their potential breakthroughs. Now it seemed like she was the only one who would be delayed in her breakthrough due to the lack of a compatible cultivation manual.

"Hmph! In the meantime, I’ll train my Body Tempering Cultivation System and Soul Forging Cultiv... Mmm!!" Evelynn answered while still pouting but she went wide-eyed.

Unfortunately for her, the way she moved her lips at such close proximity to Davis, ignited the fires of passion in his heart.

Davis grasped her face and kissed her lips as he made her gasp.

Once Evelynn realized what had happened, she instantly tried to move back but since she was held by him, she softly beat his chests with her two dainty hands, showing her resistance to being kissed out in the open.
