Chapter 1432 - Trapped?

"Aww~ Wuuu~ Heyaa~"

Strange noises could be heard from the growing tree again, causing all three of them, Davis, Nadia, and Eldia, to come out of their trance.

Davis was deeply taken aback by this marvel that a smile couldn't help but foolishly stay on his face. He was like a kid who had found something new. Still, even though it was apparent that it could not talk, he wanted to know more.

"Can you understand me?"

"Aawaa~ Aawaa~"

A voice that sounded like a nod could be heard.

Davis immediately understood that even though it could not articulate its thoughts, it could still understand them.

'Does this have anything to do with the Sky Word Language becoming universal because of the Sky Word Immortal's final sacrifice...?'

Davis shook his head as if he had no freaking idea, nor did he feel like finding out the truth.

It wasn't like he was going to find the truth of the world because most of the time, only questions remained with more things he found, and he couldn't be baffled every time or become stopped by it. However, he was aware that he would have to strive to know the answers, except he wouldn't bring himself a headache by actively searching for it.

After coming this far, he knew the truth would reveal itself as long as he got stronger and entered the fabled Immortal Realm where Immortals ascend. Unfortunately, if he were trying to search for the answers here, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, only resulting in wasting his time.

He'd rather use the time he possessed for cultivation or enjoying life with his understanding, loyal and beautiful wives. He didn't have a grand ambition. The former was a necessity to survive, and the latter was a way to live his life joyfully. The two could never be compared, just like how he was convinced that they wouldn't choose cultivation over him.

Furthermore, he was a v.i.r.g.i.n for almost fifty years, and when he said goodbye to that single life and made love with Evelynn, he truly felt that he had become a man at that moment, feeling a side that he never knew that it existed. It wasn't because he lost his v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y but because he made love with the woman he loved, who loved and cared deeply about him, probably more than he ever could.

That was truly a life-changing point he would not experience if he had some one-night stand with a random woman found in the streets. He was glad that he didn't give in to the temptation of the modern world that mostly reeks of glamour and vices.

"It really is happy..."

Nadia echoed as her beautiful golden eyes blinked. She reached out her hand and touched the growing tree with her palm, feelings its intent spread to her. It made her confused, but then she realized when Davis spoke.

"It's curious about you..."

"Oh..." Nadia smiled, finding herself curious about this plant lifeform as well.

Davis looked behind and saw the floating globular black-lightning that didn't crackle much.

"Eldia, do you want to touch it...?"

"Master, I'm afraid that I would harm it..."

Davis chuckled as he knew that it was indeed the case, but it would be possible for her to touch the tree without harming it if she dispersed her globular black-lightning energy body, but he could see that she was disinclined to do it.

He didn't force her either, but he did command her not to use her powers here unless he told her to. After all, he didn't want her attacking someone who merely acted like they were hostile to him. Ezekiel Alstreim's family was just too embarra.s.sed to accept that he had saved them from what he could tell with his Heart Intent, and he and Ancestor Dian Alstreim knew that just playing ignorant like bullies.

Nevertheless, the fruit spirit's happiness became more apparent to everyone here with it being able to emulate its voice.

However, Eldia suddenly voiced out her doubt.

"Master, thousands of years ago, when this fruit's tree hadn't withered yet, the tree had a spirit but wasn't capable of talking like I did, so how come this mere fruit is able to...?"

Davis smiled as he nodded, "You're right, Eldia."

"Many times, spirits are only able to talk after they had gained a form, no matter if they were humanoid or not. Even the Million Emerald Vines Calamity, a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Plant Lifeform that I hunted down, lacked the ability to articulate its thought with clear words like you even though it possessed a spirit with shape. Perhaps, this is a special part of my powers, the ability to not only make them grow faster but also make their spirits achieve rapid growth."

Davis looked at both of his palms, seemingly drunk in his imagination for the future.

"Master's powers are truly heavenly..."

Two melodious voices echoed out.

One was convinced that Davis deserved the entire world, while the other was deeply shocked and had her horizons widened, believing that her master was truly special. After all, he claimed that he had pa.s.sed a heavenly tribulation, and looking at the evidence, which was the strand of heavenly lightning which she had later devoured, she had no choice but to believe.

Only their master was capable of this feat!

However, as soon as Nadia and Eldia said it, they turned to look at each other and glared as if they were hostile, dark magical beast undulations popping up while black-lightning crackled with greater intensity.

"Stop, you'll two unknowingly end up thras.h.i.+ng this spirit's new home with just a spark..."

Davis uttered as she shook his head while both Nadia and Eldia listened to him obediently, retracting their undulations.

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

Two silhouettes appeared outside the Purple Guest Palace, quickly entering the palace as they approached the place he was located. Davis took his hands off the tree he was growing and looked at the door that led to this garden room.

The door opened, revealing two people in luxurious white robes who looked anxious. It was a man and a woman, looking stunned the next second.

"A Mid-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental...!" The white-robed man's eyes went wide.

"Davis, what is going on here...?" On the other hand, seeing that the situation was relatively calm, a white-robed, white-haired woman asked, her beautiful eyes looking shocked as the man.

These two were none other than Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow.

Davis heaved a sigh, shooting a look at Eldia. Her aura at the Peak-Level of Eighth Stage and her undulations released from her crackling undulations have attracted these two people. But if it just were the case, he would be okay with it.

However, he looked at another figure emerging, looking at the room with worry.

"Davis!~"

Evelynn entered, her gaze falling on Eldia before she looked at him, "Are you fine!?"

"Evelynn, this is the lightning elemental I mentioned to you about. Her name is Eldia..." Davis wryly chuckled while Evelynn heaved a sigh of relief as she knew from his account. He seldom hid anything from her.

The two Ancestors didn't understand, but they came to know that the Lightning Elemental called Eldia didn't mean any harm as they looked at their reactions.

And then, one by one, his family that had already returned to their quarters in the Purple Guest Palace came to visit, looking shocked at his Eldia. This was why Davis became exasperated. They were all alarmed because of the foreign and strong aura present in their living s.p.a.ce.

Except for Niera and Nora, who had gone to bond with their side of the family after the unexpected reunion, everyone here in the Purple Guest Palace arrived, even the secluded Sophie and the Stirlanders.

They looked at Eldia's globular black-lightning body in avid curiosity and trepidation, and some were also awed by the presence of two Ninth Stage Powerhouses.

On the other hand, the next-door Silverwinds didn't seem to come. Maybe they didn't sense, or they didn't bother because they already knew Eldia's aura and undulations.

"Everyone, there is nothing to be afraid of..." Davis addressed the crowd who arrived as he pointed towards the globular black-lightning floating beside him, "This is Eldia, and she's a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental who has sworn loyalty to me. She won't attack you, not unless I say so. Does anyone one want to test?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression twitched, "I'll refrain... but I believe you..."

However, even while he said that, he still found it hard to believe, but he could only try to digest what he had seen with reality placed right in front of him. Even Ancestor Tirea Snow's expression was the same, not to mention everyone in the room except Evelynn, who possessed a proud look on her face while observing everyone's reaction to her husband's achievement.

However, that was the hard truth that everyone in the world had to digest, and he had digested that long ago. He shook his head, finding it hilarious that he finally got jealous because of a brat.

"So you two were pa.s.sing by...?"

Davis asked the two Ancestors.

"Not really." Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head as he sent a soul transmission, "We partly came to see you... to plan ahead for the future."

"Then we'll have a talk, but if you'll excuse me, I have a crowd to receive." Davis awkwardly smiled as he looked at the others who were still viewing Eldia with intense curiosity.

"Take your time." Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled, "Meanwhile, we're going to meet Mival Silverwind to discuss some things."

"Sure..."

Davis smiled, imagining that these two had some things to talk about their marriage event or perhaps Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim. Then, he walked them out as he exchanged a few words about the remarkable tree they noticed, giving them some information and respect as he felt bad for making them leave.

Once they left, looking rather proud of him, Davis turned to see the people who have gathered. However, his expression froze.

"Fiora, what are you waiting for? Come here since you're one of us..."

Everyone's expression froze, especially Davis's parents, and the Stirlander's expression became a sight to see.

'Evelynn, you set me up, didn't you...?'

Davis inwardly gnashed his teeth and growled. He was not at all prepared for this scenario!
