Chapter 363: Chapter 362 Finally Making Progress in Essence Gathering Cultivation

Davis placed his hand on his chest as he felt a vague amount of displeasure gather towards his heart.

However, he casually stood there while feeling what the poison was doing to his body. This was the first time he was poisoned, and although he poisoned himself, he wanted to know how poison reacted to his system by entering his body.

With his physical senses, he recognized the poison wreaking havoc in his veins and meridians as if it were a disease. The green gaseous substance spread and contaminated his blood.

With his tremendous vitality granted by the Earth Dragon Blood Essence, along with the pill that Evelynn gifted; the True Vitality Pill which he used this month, he didn't even have to use his dark-like energy to eradicate it from his system.

Nevertheless, it did manage to cause a little bit of harm to him before being eroded by his immense vitality which was being passively being pumped from the heart. 

In any case, it was just a tiny bit of poison, only capable of killing any Sky Beast Stage in an instant.

However, a line of blood leaked from Davis's mouth which made Evelynn's expression turn ashen.

Her legs turned to jelly as she lost her footing, falling on the ground with her supple back supporting her from the impact of the fall.

Davis blinked as he never thought that the poison would even manage to slightly harm him. Looks like if it entered one's body, the damage caused would be multiplied by many times.

Although it was obvious, he certainly experienced with his own body.

He cleared away the blood that trickled from his lips with his palm and smiled at her teasingly, "See, it didn't kill me, right?"

Evelynn's face was pale and aghast. She suddenly jumped and fell into his embrace, her wet tears dampening his clothes in a few seconds.

Evelynn trembled in his embrace, her shoulders and her arms were shivering as if the atmosphere was cold.

Davis bit his lips as he placated her by caressing her head. He didn't think it would impact her this much. He had totally underestimated the image of poison in her heart.

The damage it caused was nothing more an injury caused by a sparing session yet it warranted this much of a reaction from her. 

She muttered while sobbing, "Don't ever do that again...." 

Evelynn took a hold of her bearings and let go of him but she still stayed closer to him, looking aggrieved.

"I won't but look, your poison only has minimal effect on me and even if it affected me to a great degree, I can still easily cure myself because I'm an alchemist!"

Evelynn spoke in a trembling voice, "You can't die... If you die..."

"Were you that scared?" Davis blinked. Didn't she listen to what he said?

Evelynn didn't answer but nodded her head.

"What if I really died?" Davis asked as his eyes glinted. This was a type of garbage and unfair question but he still wanted to know the answer.

"I don't know... Maybe I would kill myself out of guilt..." Evelynn answered as she saw his expectant eyes.

Davis blinked but then understood that she was feeling guilty. Even though he was the one who used her poison on himself, the poison ultimately came from her.

If he really died, then Evelynn thought that she would become the sinner, thinking only if she hadn't revealed poison laws at that time.

Thankfully, he was strong enough to withstand the poison from her powers.

"You didn't die... Why are you asking this?" Evelynn pouted as she beat his chests, quite embarrassed.

Davis laughed at her outburst and said, "Of course, I don't want you to die at any cost even if I die! But if you dare to be with another man after I die, I swear that I will curse your existence from the otherworld where ghosts are said to exist."

Evelynn harrumphed in disgust, "You're the one who is going to be with another man!"

"I'm not gay!" Davis retorted in anger.

They looked at each other and suddenly both of them laughed as they held their stomachs.

Suddenly, he held her hands prompting Evelynn to stop laughing as her expression slowly changed when she saw his visage.

Davis's expression was incredibly calm, his face gentle, "Evelynn, I truly love you..."

Evelynn blushed slightly at his heartfelt words, "What are you... suddenly..."

"I've said that we as husband and wife should hold no secrets against each other but I'm sorry."

Evelynn shook her head as she turned confused, "Davis, what are y..."

"I've held many secrets from you, not one or two, many..."

Evelynn's expression didn't change. She continued to listen and did not make a fuss.

Davis had thought a lot about their relationship. His view on how a relationship should be, at least for him, is for there to be no secrets between each other. He himself didn't abide by his own thoughts towards his ideal relationship yet he forced her to be transparent all the time.

That time, three days before their marriage, he had forced her to reveal her worry which turned out to be her safe day, and now, he had forced her to reveal about her poison laws.

He told her to be transparent but couldn't follow the same, like a hypocritical bastard and this caused him to reevaluate himself, making him feel guilty.

Davis closed his eyes, "Maybe due to my insecurity, I will never be able to tell you about this one of my many secrets..."

"But I will reveal everything about myself to you other than this one secret that is tied up with my life!"

Evelynn's expression turned incomparably serious as she strongly replied, "You don't need to..."

"No, I will..." Davis narrowed his eyes.

Evelynn placed her fingers on his lips cutting him short, "You absolutely do not need to because I have no means to protect your secrets..."

Her eyes turned misty as she said, "Davis, from the moment I met you, I've always felt that you were a young boy with many secrets, growing so powerful with the help of that mysterious senior, your master. I am incredibly happy that you are willing to share your secrets with me but don't!"

Davis felt a pang of hurt in his heart. His non-existent master was a lie and also could said to be one of his secrets.

If his lies filled and contiued to color his life, then would he truly be himself in the future?

"Because until you reach the apex, you mustn't, you can't reveal your secrets..." Evelynn uttered her words slowly with determination. Her words came off as it was spoken for his sake.

Davis was stunned.

'I must not reveal my secrets until I reach the apex? Won't my lies become true painting my reality or obsolete by then?'

He had a complicated expression on his face. He removed her finger from his lips, "But..." 

Evelynn cut him short again with a reassuring smile, "In any case, I am yours, to begin with..."

Davis went tongue-tied and felt moved. This woman was capable of making him feel secure too, who would've thought?

Rather than mulling on it, he said, "Alright, I'll definitely reveal my secrets to you when I stand at the apex! But if the time came naturally, then I will reveal it without hiding anything as well!"

Evelynn smiled in the content on hearing his words. It would be a lie if she said that she wasn't interested in knowing his secrets. In fact, she wanted to know it all but also knew that it could cause a strain in their husband and wife relationship.

Whatever it may be, she wanted to hear it from him after he had complete faith in her.

She wasn't worried anymore that if he had other women by his side. Even if he did, she didn't think that it mattered anymore since she became his first and vice-versa. 

Just being his first told that she would be an unforgettable woman in his lifetime, and that feeling itself satisfied her to a great degree.

So, according to her, if his secrets didn't involve women, then it should be relating to his life and his growth, more or less. That was why she was patient and cautious regarding his secrets.

"Now, back to your poison laws. You should definitely train your poison laws at least till you become proficient in it..." 

"But..."

"No buts! As I said before, poison is widely used in the First Layer and the majority don't consider it evil but only frown upon it, but should you consider what those nobodies consider about you? Just increase your prowess and cultivation to your heart's content!"

"I understand." Evelynn nodded her head after a slight amount of hesitation. Her preconceived notion that poison signified evil seemed pretty difficult to remove even if she had heard Davis's speech.

Well, in every case, preconceived notions were the things that guided people in their life, shaping their personality, just like common sense.

"After you become proficient in it, wait a year or so stabilizing your foundation. Then, form the Poison-type law seed in your dantian and plant it in your revolving core at the same time once the seed has been condensed."

Davis then proceeded to explain the intricacies and the process of the breakthrough with his imagination since he still hadn't made a breakthrough Law Seed Stage.

He could only explain to the best of his abilities, and even that helped Evelynn understand to a great degree.

If one considered his Essence Gathering Cultivation, it could be said to be the most stabilized with a firm foundation, able to instantly support his breakthrough when compared to the other two Cultivation Systems which he was rather making quick progress in.

He hadn't even reached twenty in age but in terms of Soul Forging Cultivation, he had reached the Sixth Stage; Low-Level Mature Soul Stage.

In terms of Body Tempering Cultivation, he had already reached the Fifth Stage; Peak-Level Gold Stage with the help brought by the immense vitality of the Earth Dragon Blood Essence.

Compared to these two cultivation systems, he had been suppressing his Essence Gathering Cultivation because of the Immortal Inheritance's requirements.

Now that he had cleared the Earth Dragon Immortal Inheritance, he was no longer bothered and can't wait for the Ice and Fire Phoenix Immortal Inheritance to open again, because he guessed that the result would be the same and ultimately decided against participating in it.

The two Phoenixes there could prohibit him from taking the trial, and they might even kill him.

In any case, he planned on making Clara inherit the entire Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance, and as for the Fire Phoenix Immortal Inheritance, a figure dressed in fiery robes emerged in his mind but he instantly threw the thought away from his mind.

He inclined his chin and looked at her, "Evelynn, I'm going to cultivate and have a breakthrough to the Fourth Stage, Body Transformation Stage."

"Are you going to stay and watch or..."

"I'll watch!" Evelynn replied with a smile as it blossomed in his view.

Davis smiled back, "Alright..."

He removed all his clothes except for his short underwear which looked like a boxer except it was reminscent of the long silky pants that one would wear before the robes. 

His fit, athletic and not so lean body came into Evelynn's view causing her to stare at in approval.

It was just her type! Or one should say that he made her attracted to his body figure with all those sessions they had every night, even during the day.

Davis sat on the floor, calmed down his mind and circulated the third layer of Extinction Lightning Judgement to its peak, causing the energy in his body to revolve in his dantian along with the Revolving Core.

Sparks of lightning danced around him causing the air to vibrate a little bit before it expanded.

Evelynn had to move back a bit to avoid the expanding sparks of lightning that alternated between a black and silver-colored glow.

She could see that his breakthrough should be slightly grander and explosive than hers.

In a few minutes, Davis felt that it was time and circulated the fourth layer of Extinction Lightning Judgement.

His revolving core started to change, experiencing a growth in quality. The entryway in his cells, the pores slowly opened and took in the heaven and earth energy, slowly transforming his body to fit more of the lightning attributed energy.

With his countless cells being able to store energy on top of being able to absorb it, his cells were strengthened and invigorated to a great degree.

This process was certainly painful because of his breakthrough to the Gold Stage which in turn made his flesh incredibly sturdy to change.

Even so, the cells slowly changed and gave him the ability to conduct lightning through his body without his energy having to travel in the meridians.

This undoubtedly made his lightning proficiency even more powerful than before, especially with his Fallen Extinction Lightning granting an incredible passive boost to his prowess.

Likely, he guessed that he should be able to battle Evelynn solely with his Low-Level Body Transformation Stage Cultivation even when calculating her poison laws to the fray because he believed that his lightning could essentially exterminate the poison invading his system.

As time continued to pass, he finally made a breakthrough to the Body Transformation Stage, his eyes opened as lightning sparkled, making his eye glow black like an evil cultivator.

The black flash of light that dyed his eyes was precisely because of the Fallen Extinction Lightning exhibiting its property.
