When Davis had reached Elder Soul Stage at the makes.h.i.+ft cultivation cave, he could feel darkness laws faintly exist around him which made him startled for an instant.

It was not only darkness laws that he could feel but even the existence of numerous laws, even light laws since his Soul Forging Cultivation Many being related to it despite the location being a dark cave.

At that moment, Davis could tell that the laws he could perceive were all related to his Soul Forging Cultivation and not the other two cultivation systems.

Faintly exploring the darkness laws that he could perceive in the cave, he felt that his control over Dark Concealing Shroud Art had improved a lot when compared to his previous proficiency but in front of this High-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast, he realized that his confidence has been misplaced.

Right now, he was taking the utmost precaution to withdraw, as slowly as possible. He was strangely careful in his steps and even regulated his breathing to a snail"s pace.

Suddenly, a heavy sigh could be heard, "Since you came here, why are you trying to leave?"

Davis froze! The voice grated in his ears, even slightly managing to befuddle him.

He shook his head and glanced at the magical beast, only to see it looking in his way.

He couldn"t tell whether if it was looking at him but since he was found out, Davis knew that there was no further use in maintaining this state.

He undid his Dark Concealing Shroud Art and appeared in the gaze of the magical beast.

"Hmm? A human?" The tortoise was visibly surprised for a moment before it changed in appearance.

A blinding white light flashed past and a man in his thirty"s appeared in the place of the tortoise. The man had a bulky const.i.tution that was wrapped by conjured robes and a head full of little purple hair that reached till his shoulders.

"And here I thought you were a mountain lizard, haha..." The purple-haired man laughed and approached Davis with an undeniable carefree att.i.tude.

From this, Davis could tell that he was being totally looked down upon but he wasn"t infuriated and thought, "Good, I can use this..."

"Human, you have guts! You have the gall to spy on me with your low cultivation base?" The purple-haired man"s voice turned a notch up higher before it turned into something of admiration, "But in spite of your low cultivation, you have managed to elude my senses for quite a while, haven"t you?"

Davis kept his mouth shut, not intending to speak out but it wasn"t clearly the case for the tortoise.

Once the man arrived in front of Davis, he opened his mouth, "Human, choose between becoming my slave or entering my stomach..."

Davis"s lips curved as he grinned. His eyes were bright red, like a demon. It wasn"t because of rage or anger.

The purple-haired man had a confused expression on his face. From the moment this human appeared, he felt like he was being deeply observed by him but what he felt to be weird was unlike the other humans he met, this one had red eyes.

And beholding his stealth ability in high regard, he wanted to take this human as a slave.

Davis knew that these magical beasts knew no arts to cast a slave seal on others, so the only way he could become a slave for it was if he swore on his heart or getting beaten into submission.

"I"ll give you ten seconds to consider, and if you don"t answer me within the time limit, I will have to choose the latter option for you..." The purple-haired man replied once he saw Davis smiling like an idiot.

He thought that this human had gone mad from fear but he was soon astonished when he heard the human whom he thought to be in his grasp speak condescendingly.

"You should have killed me the moment I appeared..."

Davis extended his hand and closed his palm.

Instantly, the man felt his heart tighten as his eyes went wide!

"Wha..." Only a voice escaped from his mouth before he collapsed, twitching and gasping before returning to his magical beast form.

"That was easy..." Davis commented in a casual tone but once he thought how this beast could steamroll him, he silently s.h.i.+vered.

Once again, he felt the usefulness and the advantage of Fallen Heaven. It was nothing new but its prowess left him speechless every time he used its powers.

He looked at the tortoise and absorbed its soul essence and stored its core and carca.s.s.

The core and carca.s.s of this magical beast could practically be used for alchemical purposes, so unless he required wealth, he would not absolutely consider selling it.

"That said, it took quite some time for me to see its name and lifespan..." Davis mused as he shook his head.

The moment Davis had activated Death G.o.d Eyes when he found it, the tortoise"s name and the lifespan that reflected in his eyes were blurry and nonsensical.

Only after a few seconds of it nearing him was he able to see it clearly and concisely.

He could tell that as his cultivation stage increased, his prowess also simultaneously decreased.

He knew that it was because of the large gap existing between the latter stages and levels.

It was just like Old Man Garvin said!

"I need to increase my prowess but it would take a long time to search for the required treasures that are capable of increasing the prowess of my Soul Forging Cultivation." Davis sighed and put the thought on the back of his mind.

But quite right now, he was in a dilemma, "Should I increase my level in Soul Forging Cultivation right now?"

It had been just two days since he had broken through to the Low-level Elder Soul Stage.

Davis obviously knew that if he quickly broke through to the next level, it would possibly result in cultivation deviation with an unstable foundation or even in the dissipation of the soul, leading to death but that was quite farfetched to even imagine but possible in theory.

With Fallen Heaven"s presence in his soul sea, both of these scenarios seemed extremely unlikely to occur.
