Chapter 205 Mid-Level Silver Stage
Davis wasn't startled at its sudden intrusion, instead, he chuckled for a moment before he uttered, "Thank you..."
The familiar voice went silent before it replied, "I could feel your soul's emotions for a while now, and this feeling is entirely new to me."
Davis blinked, 'I thought so...'
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Because I didn't know what it was before."
Hearing its reply, he nodded in understanding. The Death Book had spoken to him as if depicting emotions but he truly doubted it since it didn't seem to understand his actions.
Now, it seemed like it was slowly gaining emotions through the growth of his soul from the time it merged with his soul; or to be exact, his growth of Soul Forging Cultivation.
"So, do you now understand why I didn't kill Ellia even when you urged me to do so?"
"... No." Came the hesitant reply, causing Davis's brows to narrow in confusion.
"Is it because you have the feeling of love towards her?" The Death Book hesitantly asked.
"I love her as a friend but it might be too difficult for you to understand, so what you said is partly right..." Davis replied as he shook his head.
He himself was absolutely sure that if he had really loved her with all his heart, then he would've abandoned everything at stake to chase her to the ends of the world.
"I see..."
"Death Book, tell me. If she had really wanted to kill me, would you have been able to stop her with your current strength?"
"No... If she had not cast a slave seal but instead had tried to kill you, I wouldn't have been able to save you..."
"See, that's all the reason I need for me to bring my Ellia back. As for the one who possessed her, her previous life incarnation, she'll pay one way or another." Davis's eyes flashed.
At that time, he decided to not kill her but punish her because she only destroyed the Royal Castle partly and nothing else.
As for why he wanted to punish her and keep her in solitude?
The fact that she had possessed her reincarnation means she had already died once, and to people who had already died once, he simply couldn't put his faith in them.
"But you told me that you will make her your friend?"
"Yeah, after punishing her and see if she will change her mind to be obedient to Ellia."
"Do whatever you want..." It replied.
Davis smiled at its nonchalant reply but then his face turned complex, "Actually, now that I think about it, you now possess emotions, right? So, I'll name you..."
"Name? I have many..." It confusedly replied.
He corrected it, "No no, a real name. Like the one we use to call people..."
Davis smiled and didn't give it any rights to refuse. He instantly treated as if it was his own kin or a pet, "Since you were sealed in the first layer and your powers relate to control and death, I will call you" He gave a little pause before opening his mouth, "Fallen Heaven!"
Davis proudly nodded his head, satisfied by his naming sense. There was his own motive to name it, but he wanted to befriend it too.
But even after a few seconds, the was no reaction from it which prompted him to remind it.
"... Is that name appropriate?" Death Book hesitantly questioned, its voice as no longer as crispy as it was before.
"Of course, my previous name literally meant Heavenly Dragon... As my partner, you have the right to be named 'Heaven' as well!" He arrogantly replied and laughed, causing its illusory eyes in his Soul Sea to twitch.
Davis silently chuckled to himself.
"Jokes apart, since you can control the life and death of others, the name 'Heaven' fits you more than anyone else in the universe," Davis uttered with a serious expression on his face.
Hearing his input, Fallen Heaven formed a ghastly like facial feature that resembled him in his Soul Sea.
Then it slowly nodded its head, "I shall accept that name..."
Davis uttered and chuckled, "Alright, Fallen."
Hearing no more words from it, he then steadied himself and circulated the Tyrant Body Secrets.
His meridians tore apart and connected together while his bones emitted crackling sounds while his skin scorched and bled.
The pond he submerged in slowly turned blood red in color. Although it looked like a quick process, the pain he experienced at this time couldn't be said to normal either.
A few hours later, he stood up and stepped out of the bloody pond.
He stood in front of the mirror and checked himself out.
His skin was sparkling white, with no amount of harm to be seen.
A smile crept upon his face as he thought, 'I broke through the Mid-Level Silver Stage, all that is left is for me to increase my Energy Condensation Cultivation to catch up with the other two Cultivation System.'
He encountered enormous pain while breaking through, but since he had gone through enough battles that left him feeling there was room for improvement, he managed to breakthrough without using any kind of Body Tempering Pill.
As he looked at the mirror, he suddenly frowned, 'Again... My height increased by a few inches...'
'Is it because I train in the Body Tempering Cultivation this soon?' He repeatedly looked at the mirror and verified his height. His height was now 5 feet 4 inches.
Sighing gently, he thought to himself in worry, 'Hope I don't grow 8ft tall...'
After all, he was only 12 years old.
He took out the badge and checked its contents. It revealed to him that he had 8900 Cloud Spring Points.
Of course, he was able to gather this much only because Lucas and Lucia declined their share. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time for him to gain this much.
'I should take care of them properly...' He thought to himself and dozed off on the bed.
A few minutes later, he sat up while starting to read the Dual Cultivation Manual since he couldn't sleep due to the refreshing feeling of a breakthrough. In any case, he couldn't exhaust himself, so he continued to indulge himself in deprav... culture.
...
The next day, Davis, Lucas, and Lucia visited the treasury.
Davis didn't forget that his black spear had broken. He wanted to find a better quality spear for himself so that he could hunt down his foes and stab them efficiently.
He also had the urge to look through the treasury once so he could at least plan for his future cultivation resources more efficiently.
So along with Lucas and Lucia, he decided to head to the treasury.
Once they arrived, all he saw was a big golden door at the corner of the room while the walls were attached with long narrow slips of crystal-like object.
He furrowed his brows as he concluded out that it might be those jade slips he read about while being on Planet Earth.
Lucas and Lucia casually approached and placed their hands on the jade slip, using their meager soul force to access through touch.
