'I wonder if he already has children with Evelynn...' Such a thought flashed past in s.h.i.+rley's head before she shook it away.

Even if it were the case, it did nothing to curb her obsession.

As the Ice and Fire Duo in Beryl City, they had a stark reputation and were famous for their mysterious ident.i.ty, causing numerous suitors to appear.

Each and one of them were stronger, maybe even attractive than Davis, but her heart still couldn't help but fall towards Davis, his face appearing in almost every one of her dreams.

Ever since she felt his touch when she was poisoned at that time, her heart was in shackles and it only became worse with that kiss which she could feel again from time to time.

Of course, she knew that Davis had a master who was probably above the Ninth Stage since that mysterious senior was able to enter the Grand Sea Continent while the Ninth Stage Powerhouses could not, but that wasn't her intent.

She wanted to love him, wanted to be loved by him, there was no change in her mindset till now, not even after meeting all those young masters who were pompous and arrogant to the extreme.

s.h.i.+rley's absentminded gaze eventually fell on Ellia before she exclaimed in realization, 'So Soon!?'

There was finally a reaction from Ellia as her body shook while she floated in her cross-legged position.

Ellia opened her eyes as her lips curved up in a few seconds. She knew she had stepped into the Seventh Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation, Supreme Soul Stage.

A breakthrough in the latter stages normally took hours and days, even years to achieve, but she knew why she had achieved a breakthrough this easily.

"Our soul was once stronger than the Supreme Soul Stage, don't you remember, Ellia?" Ellia's mouth didn't move, however, her voice only echoed in her Soul Sea.

"I know... You don't have to point it out, Myria. We share the same memories....' Came a languid reply yet it quickly turned into one of annoyance, "Why haven't you still found the way to separate our souls?"

"Just because we want to find it doesn't mean that we can find it..." Myria laughed.

"We need to find our way back to..." Just before Myria completed her sentence, she instantly went silent.

She quickly turned her head behind as her eyes widened into two bright saucers.

Shadows entrenched as it covered her view. A giant pupil with a dark hue gazed at her as if it was going to swallow her whole. It exhibited illusory traits before it quickly disappeared into the void.

Myria's widened eyes turned normal. The breath that she had been holding was released into the air like a sigh.

However, her gaze turned solemn, "Someone managed to locate my existence?"

The mysterious eye wasn't there, wasn't behind her, but she knew that it was only a feeling of being perceived.

"What?" Ellia became shocked, "Why am I not able to not perceive it!?"

"Probably because it is targeted at me, not you..." Myria solemnly spoke as she guessed.

Ellia turned silent. She pondered over this matter before becoming joyous, "Doesn't this also mean that you and I are separate ent.i.ties in a deep sense? Maybe we can truly separate!"

Myria blinked but then chuckled.

"Maybe..."

Suddenly, Myria's gaze froze. She shot a look towards the skies as the roof collapsed unable to bear her icy gaze. Her gaze penetrated the hollow roof as she saw the black veil that suddenly looked as if it were going to descend upon them.

The black veil covered the entire sky as an illusion before it turned into a black dot in the skies.

"Someone is actually trying to rip apart the s.p.a.ce of this world to enter?" Myria shouted as she finally lost her bearings. She stood up as her eyes shook from trepidation, 'Could it be?'

Someone had divined her location! It was obvious when the mysterious eyes showed up behind her illusorily but...

She thought it would be a Ninth Stage Expert skilled in divination in the First Layer who managed to notice her actions but when she saw the black dot in the skies, another thought emerged in her mind.

"Someone has managed to obtain the coordinates of this world through locating me..." Myria tried to control herself but it was hard to hide the trepidation in her face, even her heart.

"Is it them? But it's probably been so many years that they died from the pa.s.sage of time..." Ellia suddenly spoke.

She was also privy to the information as their memories were shared.

"No, if it were them, they wouldn't be able to tear apart this s.p.a.ce from outside, or even make a dent since they aren't strong enough, but as you said..."

Myria continued, "An unknown amount of time has pa.s.sed since I died. For all we know, they couldn't break through the next stage, but I garner that even if they did break through to the next stage, it isn't enough to rip apart this s.p.a.ce from the outside."

"At that time, when I was injured and poisoned, it was only with the magnanimous act of the mysterious ent.i.ty was I able to enter this world."

"The others who pursued me wasn't able to enter this world, so they were forced to head back without gaining anything. They tried to attack the small spherical-shaped gem but it was useless... but now..."

Myria and Ellia both turned solemn as they couldn't help but feel insecure.

Someone had managed to bypa.s.s the small spherical-shaped gem which contained this entire s.p.a.ce and locate her through some unknown but powerful divination method?

But how?

"Is it because of the breakthrough in my soul!?" Myria roared in her soul sea.

Myria went silent before pondered as her eyes shook, "Yes, the more my soul gets stronger, the more it s.h.i.+nes in this hidden s.p.a.ce out of all the trillions of lives it holds, becoming easier to locate..."

Ellia's soul also shook, "You made a mistake!"

"It can't be helped..." Myria spoke, "We are destined to incur aggression because of our weird state, or it could also be the heavens which is trying to break through the s.p.a.ce to make us undergo tribulation."

However, Myria found it difficult to believe that the eye seemed to belong to the mighty heavens. It was more like it came from a cultivator filled with negative emotions as the eyes had a dark hue.

Ellia knew that the mighty heavens were restricted in this hidden s.p.a.ce due to it being held by that spherical-shaped gem. With their shared memories, she also knew why there was no breakthrough phenomenon accompanying a cultivator in a breakthrough. It was because the will of the heavens couldn't reach this hidden s.p.a.ce.

Apparently, from the Law Seed Stage, to be exact, from the Fifth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation, cultivators would face tribulation in Myria's memories. This came as a surprise to her.

Their silence abated for a while before they both uttered at the same time, "We have to get even stronger..."

Meanwhile, s.h.i.+rley had her eyes on the black dot in the sky, her gaze remained lost while filled with confusion, 'What exactly is that? Could it be the sign of a disaster?'

The black dot in the skies startled all the people in the First Layer, their fates becoming a question mark even to themselves. Some were filled with trepidation while the others were looking forward to increasing their strength in the chaotic cultivation world.
