Chapter 1226 - SearChapter Temporarily Paused

"What!?"

A woman who sat in a lotus position in a cultivation chamber spat out a mouthful of blood as the energy she circulated failed to achieve full circulation but was instead deeply throttled enough to harm her body from the shock she had experienced!

The woman's expression went pale as she began to tremble, not fearing the fact that she had internal injuries when she was jolted out of her focused cultivation session. Her lips moved as she echoed a sound of disbelief.

"Davis..."

Evelynn shakily stood up as her head spun in intense distress. She began to hover before she flew out of her cultivation chamber, making her way to another room where Davis's soul body stayed.

'Why...? Why do I not feel his presence anymore!?'

Evelynn panicked as she crossed the hall and turned over in a corridor before standing in front of a door.

She pushed it open, and her expression went pale as she saw the collapsed soul body.

"Davis!!!"

Her pupils dilated as she screamed in apprehension. Her whole body began to tremble as she shot forward and kneeled beside the soul body, her remaining agape while tears began to fall off of her eyes.

Evelynn could see that the soul body's soul force was rapidly dissipating while there seemed to be no consciousness inside it. She wasn't wise in terms of soul, but she was wise enough to know this would only happen if the main body, no, the soul of the person, had been extinguished.

If Davis's soul had survived or he had placed a portion of his soul essence in his soul body, it would still remain alive with consciousness still present, but she knew that Davis didn't do anything like that.

She didn't even want to think anymore as she stayed dumbfound while her heart felt like it was being torn apart. Even though she felt like she must do something, her body wasn't moving at all because the only answer she could arrive at was that he was...

Again, her mind stopped thinking about it as it searched for another answer like she refused to accept the obvious result.

'That's right... I must contact him through a messaging talisman...'

Evelynn's palms shook as a messaging talisman appeared in her hand. She activated it and echoed as her lips quivered, "Davis...?"

Her tone was more like pleading instead of voicing out in her usual voice. She bit her lips and waited for the messaging talisman to glow back, but each second that pa.s.sed made her feel like her heart was going to explode from the heaviness she felt.

Even after some time had pa.s.sed, there was still no reply.

'Wait... He must've injured his soul. That's right... I don't know anything about the Supreme Soul Stage... That must be it...'

Evelynn convinced herself, but then, she abruptly recalled.

'There's still his avatar's messaging talisman...!'

Evelynn took out another messaging talisman, and her eyebrows quivered. Tears didn't stop falling out of her eyes, but she didn't sob for once as she spoke in a shaky voice.

"Davis, tell me you're there..."

Once she finished speaking, silence descended once again as time pa.s.sed, but it was as if time had stopped for herself as she couldn't stop herself from thinking the inevitable. Her hands and head lowered as her black eyes fell on his dissipating soul body, becoming not able to think quite right as her body began to tremble heavily!

She clenched her fists, almost about to break the messaging talismans from the extreme pain she felt in her heart when one of them suddenly glowed.

"Here! Here! I'm here!"

"Davis!!!"

Evelynn screamed as her voice was full of relief and satisfaction while she held the messaging talismans, and even though tears kept falling out of her eyes, it was one of happiness.

"Don't cry as I'm alright, extremely well. It's just that my main body seemed to have entered a place that cut off the connection we had." The Solitary Soul Avatar explained from the other side.

"You couldn't sense yourself too?" Evelynn became worried again.

"Yes, but I'm confident that I wouldn't die easily like this..."

"That's... That's good to hear..."

Evelynn sobbed, her expression turning into a bright smile as she asked, "Come back, I want to see you~"

Her voice seethed in selfishness, but she mused that this was one of those times where her selfishness would be allowed.

"Yeah, I want to see you too, so I'm on my way back. It took me some time to return to range, and that's why I was late in contacting you. I'm in Falling Snow Sect Territory right now, so it'll only take ten minutes or so for me to be back."

"Mhmm... I'll wait..."

"Good, and there's no one with you, right?"

"Yes..." Evelynn looked behind and confirmed that no one was there, "I will remain quiet about this matter."

"My dear wife, I love you to death!" The sound of a kiss echoed before the messaging talisman stopped glowing, causing Evelynn to wryly laugh as tears began to fall again in happiness. She wiped her face with her sleeves and got up before she cast a glance at the dissipating soul body.

"Be safe, okay?" Her expression turned into full of worry, but she took a deep breath and chose to believe in him.

But that didn't mean that she didn't think of anything else. An urge to become stronger and powerful took hold of her mind and heart so that she could at least be there with him to face the trouble together. This feeling engraved in her heart deeper than ever, and her disposition slowly began to change as it was revealed in her eyes.

Before, if she thought that cultivation was secondary, she no longer thought that way from this point onwards.

In ten minutes, Davis arrived at the Purple Guest Palace in secrecy before he made it to the room where his soul body stayed. Once he pushed the door open and saw Evelynn waiting right in front of him as she revealed a relieved expression on her face, he raised his hand.

"Before you ask, no one died. Sophie is probably stuck there in the relatively safe Dark Thunder Island, and I don't know if Nadia's doppelganger is still there with her, so before anything untoward happens, I have to go and protect her."

"I'll come too!" Evelynn stepped forward as she patted her bosoms.

"No, you'll stay here."

Evelynn trembled but understanding that she was a burden with her current strength, she didn't retort. Davis rolled his eyes as her silence made him feel bad instead.

"Look, I want you to be safe here, and as I said, it is not easy to kill me. Who knows? In that place where my main body got stranded, there might be tons of treasures that required me to act soon to collect them. Otherwise, the main body would've contacted me by now..."

"Mhmm... I'll get strong..."

"You're not listening, are you?"

Davis was just about to hold her shoulders when he suddenly trembled before he smiled.

"Evelynn, you have an incoming call..." He smiled.

Evelynn's brows narrowed before her eyes went wide! She took the messaging talisman out of her spatial ring as it echoed, "Hey..."

She couldn't help but scream in ecstasy and relief, "Davis! What happened?"

"My avatar would explain, but I'm alive and well here with tons of surprise. I'm sorry, my poison. I'm short on time, so I gotta go!"

The messaging talisman's glow receded, causing Evelynn's expression to go blank. It took a while for her to realize the meaning behind his words. That's right. The Solitary Soul Avatar would be updated on whatever happened through the connection they possessed through their souls. After all, they were one and the same.

But with this, she finally knew that he was still alive in a conclusive manner because the soul mark she had with him was restored just a moment before it became dull again. She mused it would be a few minutes just before it disappeared again.

"Where did you go?" She couldn't help but ask in curiosity.

"Well, long story short, I tailed a few Ninth Stage Powerhouses and ended up confronting them before somehow managing to befriend them, I think..."

"..."

"..."

Davis began to explain as he finished explaining in a minute, causing Evelynn to release a sigh of shock and astonishment.

"Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Immortal Inheritance in a s.p.a.ce that is filled by a sea of lightning? This is a big thing..."

"Well," Davis wryly smiled, "It's not a given that I would be able to clear it because it is either not there or already inherited or inaccessible at the moment. I might need time to figure this out, so I might concentrate on something else as I lack time, and it also seems Nadia's doppelganger is present and on her way back with Sophie."

"I should go receive them so that they don't trip a formation or something. Nadia's concealment might be comparatively surpa.s.sing of me as when formations are included; she doesn't know how to evade them without my instructions."

Evelynn nodded her head, "Mhm... I understand!"

"Good!" Davis reached out his hand and patted her head in satisfaction. He began to give her some items before his lips began to move.

"I managed to procure some cultivation resources for Natalya... You can give it to her, and she'll know what to do with it."

"You'll be coming back, right?" Evelynn uttered in doubt.

"Yes, but I already told you, right? I don't have the face to see her right now as I'm going to bring back Sophie here..." Davis had an apologetic expression on his face.

Evelynn couldn't help but giggle as she recalled that it was about Natalya's little sister, "I understand, consider it done. You deserve it after all you have gone through...'

"Evelynn..." Davis became taken aback as he blinked. She was extremely understanding of him these days that he couldn't help but feel that he was wronging her the most.

He couldn't help but take another spatial ring as he began to check its contents before his eyes lit up. He took out two tomes as he pushed them towards Evelynn.

"Here, this is for us..."

Evelynn took note of the t.i.tles before her cheeks turned red, "You! At a time like this!?"

"Hehe, seems like when I return, you don't want me...?" Davis appeared to have an evil grin on his face.

Evelynn's expression became crimson as she stared at him in hate and love, finding herself unable to say yes and no to that statement. Her bosoms trembled as she blurted out, "You can't bully me like this!"

"Wait till I begin to bully you in bed. At that time, you'll want to be bullied more like-"

Evelynn shot past him, flying away like the breeze as she no longer stayed listening to his e.r.o.t.i.c and tempting words. However, Davis l.e.w.dly smiled as he saw that she ran away while storing the tomes into her spatial ring.

Well, what else can it be other than the newly obtained Yin-Yang Sutra and the Dual Cultivation Method for Soul Forging Cultivation? He hadn't learned it yet, but his comprehension speed was way faster, that he could afford to learn it later!

As for s.h.i.+rley and Ellia, he felt regretful, but that would have to wait as he had to first not lose the ones he had with him.

'Now then, time to retrieve Sophie and kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds...'

He recalled that his main body was on his way to hunt vermin right now!
