Chapter 2204: Earthly Manual

Davis stared at the brightly and elegantly written words on the golden tome, making him feel deeply attracted to it.

'If if I'm not wrong, it's the very Soul Forging Cultivation Manual Myria uses one that allows a unique cultivator to cultivate life and death energy...'

He thought back to her words, wanting to feel the magnificence and novelty of the golden tome with his own hands, skimming a look at Myria.

Myria lightly smiled as she saw his excited expression, becoming satisfied. She sent it flying to him as he carefully received it, opening the introduction part that was full of heavenly writing that made his heart feel at ease but also p.r.i.c.ked his eyes like they were radiating extreme killing intent.

Without even realizing it, his death energy and life energy began circulating around his head as though reacting to the manual.

Quickly, he began to read through as though he had a second wind, making Myria smile again.

"The Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture is a Soul Forging Cultivation Manual that surpa.s.ses the Immortal King Grade. However, it's incomplete because I created it myself."

Davis abruptly stopped turning the pages, raising his head to look at Myria as he blinked.

"The- There's no predecessor?"

Myria shook her head, her eyes losing focus as she looked at the fake yet sunny sky.

"There are manuals for Life Laws and Death Laws separately but nothing together. I'm probably the very first person to be born with this physique and probably the last because I simply don't die, perhaps until the cosmos ends. I don't know what to make of this unending struggle, but I will persevere the challenges and trials, rising up so that I can reach the apex and live a peaceful life, one that's like here yet real."

""

Davis didn't know what to say to her ability to already find that this environment was fake, but logically, he felt that it should be derivable because the only way to leave this Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace was for everyone to agree to leave, even after he had gained it.

He felt that this rule was probably in Lereza's hands and that she probably wanted Myria to live.

However, Myria seemed to continue as her voice echoed again.

"I am nothing but a little fledgling in Reincarnation Laws while you're nothing but an ant, no, a carp in the sea. However, if you could become a dragon as you leap out of that sea with this manual of mine, then I could say that at the very least, I have a worthy disciple."

""

As Myria smirked, Davis became dumbfounded before he clenched his teeth.

"I'll reluctantly settle for in-name disciple since I'm going to train in the manual you created. You won't get any special kind of respect from me for this manual."

"Fine with me. I'm only repaying what I owe you~"

Myria finely giggled, seemingly satisfied with the outcome of the situation, but it was Davis who was inwardly gloating to have obtained this manual, which could cause his prowess to become one level higher on top of the fact that he still had yet to manifest a Supreme Immortal Sigil.

With this, he could essentially catch up to Myria's soul prowess even after becoming immortal and revealing her true prowess.

However, he couldn't understand one thing and consequently became curious.

"Why the 'Earthly' in the name of the manual? Is it earth-attributed?"

Was the manual impure? Or perhaps, even defective? Just like Myria's Eternal Life Soul that birthed Ellia?

However, Myria merely shot him a mocking look.

"Because I haven't been able to escape from the eyes of the heavens with this manual yet."

"Oh." Davis smiled, "Then we'll work together to make an Unfettered Heavenly Reincarnation Scripture, one that surpa.s.ses the control the heavens have over me and you."

""

Myria became momentarily stupefied, looking at him gentle yet confident expression, her heart feeling complex as her lips couldn't help but twitch, wondering where he found this confidence.

Just because he beat her twice?

That shouldn't be enough to go against the heavens, or so she thought and shook her head.

"Don't get high on your horses. If it was that easy, then I wouldn't have- cough- In any case, first, cross your immortal tribulation, then we'll talk about it."

"You have a point."

Davis heavily nodded, thinking the same as Myria as he started to imagine the thing that got delayed and threw the golden tome into his spatial ring.

"Now, I have to go get my much-awaited rewa..."

However, before he could finish his words, his eyes became unfocused as his body lost control. He collapsed to the ground as he fell front, but before his body could hit the ground, two thin hands captured his shoulders and held him in place. Those two hands slowly lowered him to the ground, placing him gently on the gra.s.sy lands that swayed ever so lightly from the breeze that was filled with life energy.

Raising her head, Myria panned her head as she gazed at the concerned group of beauties who quickly appeared and surrounded her and Davis, seemingly confusedly angry and intensely worried at the same time.

"W-What happened to husband?"

s.h.i.+rley couldn't help but appear in front of them and mediate, quickly asking a question that made Myria just gently smile.

"He's fine, s.h.i.+rley. Just exhausted from saving me~"

Myria's cheerful voice resounded, causing the others to understand that it was Ellia, making them feel relieved as she would not harm Davis.

Moreover, it was no wonder she captured Davis from hitting his head flat on the ground, which wouldn't have done anything but still embarra.s.sing for a person of his stature.

However, Ellia deeply smiled while staring at Davis's refined yet exhausted face, touched by his actions as well as Myria's actions to save him from embarra.s.sment, making her feel giddy despite the exhaustion as she felt that they had finally made some progress in acknowledging each other to a deeper level, perhaps as equals and allies.

After all, if he had not relaxed from perceiving Myria as an ally, how could he have fainted?
