Chapter 21

Clara was placed in her cradle as she got tired of their banter. She slept peacefully.

"Fortunately, your grandfather managed to erase it's consciousness before dying. The previous First Prince's Son got a.s.sa.s.sinated, so it is now ripe for the taking. " Claire grinned.

"If you use that Lightning Elemental to cultivate your Essence Gathering Cultivation, then you will surely be more powerful than cultivators who cultivate in other Sky Grade Essence Gathering Techniques. " Claire smiled resplendently at the thought that her son will only get more powerful steadily as time pa.s.ses by.

Children only concentrate on one Cultivation System at a time. Only geniuses cultivate in two Cultivation Systems at the same time while Davis happens to cultivate all 3 at the same time.

..

[The next day]

At the Study.

Davis was sitting crossed leg, studying the Meridian Refinement Stage.

'Apparently, looks like I have to refine the meridians in my body, and since I would cultivate with a lightning attributed manual, I should make lightning pa.s.s through my meridians, a Sky Grade one at that. I'm definitely done for! This is obviously shock treatment! Isn't this even crueller than Body Tempering Cultivation?' His mind floated with images of people getting fried by lightning.

"Davis, are you ready?" The door suddenly opened and Claire walked in.

"Eh? Ah? Yes, I'm ready. " Davis gulped.

They then proceeded to a place that is designed for closed door cultivations.

"Relax! Dad and Mom are here to help you supress the Sky Grade Lightning Elemental, don't fret over it. " Claire comforted him, she can obviously see his nervousness when she suddenly walked in.

Davis nodded. He didn't say anything. Then they made their way to a room in this area. There were more than 10 rooms in this place.

Claire opened the door and walked inside, he followed her.

Inside there was a formation that was capable of supressing the power of lightning elemental to a certain extent.

Logan was seated at the side, obviously waiting for these two to come. Even though it's just easier for all 3 of them to send Soul Transmissions, they didn't communicate through that way. They didn't want to reveal Davis's Soul Cultivation under any circ.u.mstance.

"Dad, let's start. " Davis didn't want show weakness in front of his Dad.

"Aren't you hasty?" Logan commented and walked forwards.

"Let's begin then. " Logan looked at Claire and they both nodded their heads.

"Davis, sit inside the formation's heart, and refine your meridians in accordance with the Extinction Lightning Punishment, we will help you in supressing the lightning elemental. "

Davis nodded, he took a deep breath before sitting in the middle of the formation.

He began refining his meridians. The formation housed the Fallen Extinction Lightning, It works as a supressing formation. His parents began sending the lightning energy to Davis with utmost caution.

Davis's meridians were already strengthened already because of Tyrant Body Secrets. He circulated the lightning attributed energy in his body, slowly. He felt a tingling sensation at the start followed by a burning feeling. It felt as if he was electrocuted and corroded at the same time. It's effects were negligible since it's being supressed by both his parents and the formation.

'So this is the Fallen Extinction Lightning, really powerful. '

'It's not bad, I don't feel much pain'

'Good thing, Mom and Dad are here, if not, I would have to cultivate from the bottom of food chain if I were really an orphan. '

His thoughts ran astray, he felt confident enough to cultivate even without the utmost concentration.

He slowly repeated the process again and again, till he refined his meridians to the low level.

The process lasted for about 5 hours. He advanced to the Meridian Refinement Stage.

Just when he was about to shout out in excitement. A voice ran on his mind.

"Don't lose your concentration, we'll help you absorb the Fallen Extinction Lightning. Immediately focus your soul on absorbing it now!"

Davis could feel his soul being invaded by the lightning elemental. He began absorbing it into his soul.

"Arghhhhh!!!" Pain, he was filled with extreme pain.

It felt like his thoughts were going haywire. He almost lost concentration but continued to grit his teeth. He knew he wouldn't be able to last longer, so he concentrated again using his whole consciousness this time to succeed without caring for any repercussions.

The process lasted for 5 minutes before he fainted of exhaustion which felt like an eternity to him.

Logan and Claire both heaved a sigh of relief. They knew he succeeded in absorbing the Fallen Star Lightning and it was only possible thanks to his powerful soul.

...

After a period of time, Davis woke up.

He checked his soul and saw a pentagram shaped black lightning residing within. It maintained a certain distance from the Death Note. Seeing that both didn't interfere with each other, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He then checked his surroundings, he was still in the same room. He saw his parent's pa.s.sionately kissing each other?

They were so into it that they didn't notice Davis waking up. Even a slight movement should be able to alert them.

Logan locked his lips with Claire's. He held her waist and she held his head. Her eyes seemed sad for some reason, and at the same time, her lips were savouring his taste as if it didn't want to let go. It didn't seem like they were doing it for excitement.

Davis didn't make a sound. He stayed silent for a period of time before they separated from each other's lips. He didn't hear them talking, he imagined that they must have used Soul Transmission to speak with each other.

After a few seconds, Davis trembled as if waking up just now.

They immediately separated from each other's embrace.

Claire's face was red while Logan's lower wear had a tent. Davis chose to ignore it altogether, he closed his eyes and acted as if he was checking his state. That gave them enough time to be normal again.

'Something must have happened. ' He thought. 'It wasn't normal for them to act like that in front of me. '

'Wait, something seems to be wrong in my soul?' Davis was startled.

He immediately released his Soul Sense, it extended upto 500 metres.

"This.. this.. I reached Peak Level Nascent Soul Stage?"

Logan and Claire smiled.

Davis forgot that lightning can temper his soul, much less a Sky Grade Lightning Elemental.
