Chapter 1465 - Advancements

"Why not? This is a comfortable place to sit, no?"

Davis raised his brows, trying to keep his l.e.w.d smile under control.

Isabella rolled her eyes.

"Well, it is too comfortable that I think that I might end up dirty like you. Go take a bath to clean yourself up."

Davis chuckled before he stood up.

There was a bit of the indistinct black filth stuck on his skin. Surely, it wasn’t a bother but still irked the same as it was filth nonetheless. Most of it was medicinal waste remaining in his body, and a tiny percentage of it was from his mortal body.

Then again, it was etiquette for people to take a bath after body cultivating that it was like a routine, so no one took any offense.

He used the bathroom attached to the cultivation chamber for known purposes such as dual cultivation. Nevertheless, after quickly cleaning himself up, he came out and approached Isabella, all dressed up.

"How do you feel?" Isabella asked.

"Great!"

Davis spread out his hands, feeling his martial energy pulsating like a heart. He felt that he must release it somewhere, but surely, battling against Isabella was a wrong call as he would end up getting beaten black and blue.

’She would be a worthy opponent!’

Davis inwardly nodded while Isabella continued.

"You did the right thing by stopping your advancement as it would’ve led to degradation of your foundation. Do you want a pill that can-"

Davis raised his hand, stopping her, "What you’ve given me is enough, Isabella. Furthermore, I’m not in any situation to consume a pill as I’ve already overdrafted my Body Tempering Cultivation in this single year."

Isabella pursed her lips before she nodded understandingly.

"I also assume you have reached the peak of Level Nine Intent in terms of comprehension and congealed a Supreme Domain, right? I’m happy for you~"

Davis nodded with a smile as he put his hand down, "Yes, if there was something like Level Ten Intent, I might’ve comprehended that, but there’s a reason the next level is called Level One Abstruse Intent. It is just too obscure for me to comprehend even upon entering the Martial Sage Stage."

Isabella nodded, agreeing with him.

If it weren’t for her true blood essence easily toppling that obscurity for her despite her rapid progress, she might’ve found it hard to comprehend abstruse intents.

At the same time, congealing martial domains from the result of the inscribed laws on the body wasn’t easy. The inscribed laws necessarily didn’t adhere to creating a matching martial domain. It could be a lower-level one if their laws weren’t up to par.

She knew that one needed Level Six Intent to congeal the basic Flawed Domain that is also required to enter the Martial Sage Stage. Mediocre Domain required Level Seven Intent and Impeccable Domain required Level Eight Intent while Level Nine Intent is required for congealing Supreme Domain.

As for congealing a Perfect Domain, one needed to comprehend Level One Abstruse Intent, and she mused that Davis could create one, but already inscribing the laws might make it a bit difficult for him as congealing during the moment of breakthrough at the beginning of the stage was always the vital moment, although she didn’t know that if Davis was impeded by it as he now absorbed three blood essences that could vastly help him bypass such limits.

It was the same for her after absorbing a true blood essence, after all. She felt like almost nothing impeded her path to immortality!

"At least, comprehending abstruse intent this soon seems impossible, but maybe in less than a month or so, I could definitely comprehend Level One Abstruse Intent as I feel that I’m closer." Davis continued before letting out a knowing smirk, "However, with our marriage in schedule, I think I might end up reaping more benefits in comprehending Earth Laws than expected, mhm?"

"You silly fellow..."

Isabella smiled at him as her cheeks glowed with a light blush.

Davis abruptly stretched his hands, intending to catch her wrists, but Isabella was faster, dodging his evil hands with a swift maneuver as she giggled.

"Hehe, how could I get caught? You will eat me up before we could even enter the nuptial chamber."

Davis closed his fists two-three times before he chuckled, "Well, you got that right. Still, I have to bring my foundation to an extremely stable level, and for that, I’m going to battle with Nadia till the marriage. I’ll depend on you to take care of your three sisters, okay?"

"Would you like me to join your training?"

Isabella blinked while Davis felt amused.

"Ridiculous. It would be fine if there weren’t any marriage between us, but I’m not going to try to attack a woman I’m going to get married to in a week. Besides, I don’t want to get beaten up by you, and that would make for a pretty awkward wedding if you ask me!"

"Why would I beat you up!?" Isabella shrieked in objection before she sighed, "I thought I would passively defend, and you can attack me all you want, but if you don’t want, I won’t appear then..."

"Hmm? I never said that you couldn’t watch our battle from time to time, though."

Davis smiled, causing Isabella’s eyes to lighten up as she returned the smile.

"Then I’ll cook some delicious meat for you whenever I come to see you, okay?"

"Yes, please! Cook some for Nadia as well...!"

Davis pumped his fist and exchanged a large amount of King Beast Stage Magical Beast Meat from Nadia’s spatial ring and gave it to Isabella to cook. He figured that Isabella didn’t have enough prowess in Fire Laws to cook efficiently, but surely, there was a wide variety of formations in Isabella’s Spatial Ring. He felt that she could figure it out as she had accepted the exchange.

======

In the subsequent days, Davis pitted himself against Nadia. They could afford to use their strength as much as they wanted as they didn’t have to worry about space tearing apart. After all, the spatial stability between the Second Layer and the First Layer was one and the same.

Booming sounds continuously echoed, mountains were destroyed, and rivers had been flailed, vanishing from the clash of their prowess.

Sometimes, delicious food came as they would stop to eat, thanking Isabella before they got back to battling again as darkness and earth energy clashed.

Nadia should’ve had the upper hand considering her tier, rank, and cultivation, but her physical prowess was less as it compensated for her overpowered concealment skills. Nevertheless, she only needed a few strikes to end her opponent’s life as she leaps out of concealment, so counting her physical prowess was meaningless, but for this training session, it seemed as if though she was evenly matched with Davis as she fought.

Isabella looked at her man in awe as she saw him battle with Nadia, who was indirectly a stage above him. She mused that both their physical prowess has almost reached the might of the Ninth Stage, although she felt that Nadia was holding back her punches still. It made sense, considering that Nadia was a King-Tier Magical Beast whose prowess reached the Ninth Stage.

As Isabella watched their battles, it irked her battle senses as she too wanted to fight, but she held back, wanting to look womanly as her marriage was upcoming. She was looking forward to it more than wanting to battle with one of them. Besides, she had already tested her prowess, so there was only a little bit of curiosity spurring her battle drive.

Nevertheless, she returned to her Imperial Palace and watched over her sisters breaking through one by one.

The very first was Evelynn, who reached made two consecutive breakthroughs by absorbing twelve diluted blood essences. Initially, she already absorbed three diluted blood essences from clearing the Sky Grade Trial and got a single blood essence from Davis, both of them still not yet have completely assimilated.

Then, she had three more diluted drops, which she had gotten from Isabella long ago as a gift, while she received twelve diluted drops at the moment. She chose not to use the three drops of diluted blood essence as she felt that someone might need it later and used the ones she received right now and stepped into the Peak-Level Martial Master Stage from Mid-Level while also comprehending till Level Seven Intent of Earth Laws from Level Four Intent, the latter being the courtesy of the initial three diluted drops of blood essences that had assimilated just now while the blood essence still remained relevant and unassimilated.

On the other hand, Fiora also had consecutive breakthroughs in her Body Tempering Cultivation, directly crossing a stage as she entered Silver Stage and entered High-Level Silver Stage from refining fifteen diluted blood essences with Isabella’s help.

Her foundation became a bit unstable, but with Isabella providing her with a unique body tempering pill that solidified her foundation and increased her cultivation suitable for her level, she didn’t find it hard to suppress or control her cultivation anymore and broke through two more levels, entering Low-Level Gold Stage instantly as she managed to make complete use of the initial bestowal of the blood essence.

She was practically screaming in ecstasy and thanked her third sister like she owed her life to her!

Finally, Natalya was happier as she had successfully stepped into the Law Dominion Stage after absorbing the three diluted drops of Ice Phoenix Immortal Blood Essence, successfully congealing two Perfect Domains!

Clara then assured her that she would get her more drops of diluted blood essences once she reaches the Seventh Stage, becoming capable of entering the Emperor Grade Treasury to obtain more treasures which then Natalya profusely refused as she cried, but the cold Empress said otherwise, threatening that she would force her to consume using Mandate Laws, to which Natalya could only wryly nod her head in acceptance.

Honestly, she felt like she was in heaven. Not only did her husband treat her like a princess, but the little sister also shared her resources without making it a big deal, adopting a similar way of doing things as her brother. Perhaps, it was Clara’s own way of apologizing for real to her, but she didn’t care because...

Natalya now looked at Clara as her own little sister.

All this happened while Davis continued to battle Nadia, vastly increasing his foundation with every time he got injured and healed himself. With his foundation catching up while also being fed a variety of eighth-stage magical beast meat, he found these improvements and gestures very lovable of Isabella.

In the meantime, Nadia also vigorously gobbled up the meat Isabella made, not forgetting to thank her every time after she had eaten.

Isabella laughed more than she thought she would. She felt that she had already married and was being a respectable wife to Davis, making her feel confident about her future, their future.

Nevertheless, more people appeared and partook in the feast that she prepared every day.

The gallery increased from Isabella to Evelynn, Fiora, and Natalya as they watched him battle against Nadia. They weren’t the only guests, as his entire family came to watch them thrashing the mountains and rivers in the less populated areas.

Even Emperor Ruth and Emperor Ashton appeared, looking proud and awed by their son-in-law.

Furthermore, Evelynn and Natalya also battled against each other, trying to increase their battle senses and instincts, while Fiora acted more like a referee to them.

"Nadia, stop...!"

Nadia, who was about to strike a defending Davis, abruptly stopped in mid-air as the cloud of darkness surrounding her disappeared. She returned to her human form as a dark light flashed, turning to look at the source of the voice while Davis dropped his guard as he turned to look towards Evelynn when he saw her lips curve.

"Davis, everyone already went away... because tomorrow is your marriage with Isabella."

Davis blinked thrice as he saw Evelynn, Natalya, and Fiora waiting for him before a deep smile emerged on his face.

"So it’s time already..."

While he was focused on the battle, purely fighting with physical force while rarely using martial energy, the day of the marriage had already neared!
