Chapter 374: Candidacy?

"Aaaahn~ Mnmmm~" Evelynn repeatedly let out moans of pleasure as she threw her hand above her head.

Davis's gaze fell upon her twin peaks as he rammed his hot shaft into her pleasure hole with swiftness.

Her twin peaks were bouncing up and down along with his ramming as her body was held down in place with his grasp.

He leaned in on her took her rosebud into his mouth while sucking and licking.

Evelynn had her mouth agape from his teasing. She gazed at down at Davis and saw him being absorbed with her twin peaks.

Her cheeks turned crimson red as she blushed hard and thought that the scene looked as if he was devouring her like how a magical beast would but she didn't move away her gaze, intently viewing his actions as she felt the pleasure building up in her lower nerves.

Feeling his hard shaft moving in and out of that zone, her toes stiffened and she moved her thick legs to lock his waist from granting her more pleasure.

Davis looked at her squirming waist and knew that she was almost going to climax.

With all the time he spent with her in bed, he knew her weak spots at the tip of his fingers, and exactly the most important action that could make her climax at the peak was...

He left teasing her rosy buds and leaned in on her face as he took her lips into his own.

"Mnmmmmmm~~!" From Evelynn's throat came a sexy muffled moan that reverberated into his head.

Both of their lower zones were wet, filled with love essences in a few endearing seconds.

While their bodily fluids were staining the bedsheets, Davis caressed Evelynn's cheeks as he leaned in to kiss her forehead.

Evelynn looked at him with an endearing glint in her eyes, her expression indicating that she was quite satisfied.

However, they continued their lovemaking for a long time after this event.

======

Two days later.

Jonas arrived at the Royal Castle after leaving for who knows where to spend some time alone to get over the sadness.

His face looked clean yet determined but his eyelids were heavy as if he had cried for a long time.

Logan didn't say anything other than providing him a room to stay.

When his Eighth Brother settled down, Logan left the chambers that once housed the previous princes.

Now, it is where his children stayed other than Davis because Davis had took over the entire study and made it his room, even going far as to occupy the other rooms that were near the study.

But to this, he had no complaints since the entire Royal Castle belonged to him.

Maybe his brothers would say something about etiquette or manners and blame someone but Logan could care less when it comes to the well-being of his family.

When Logan walked along the hallway, he encountered his actual firstborn.

"Royal Father..." Ernest slightly bowed, indicating his respect. He wore a princely robe that was blue in color and adorned with various patterns and gems.

Logan nodded his head and was about to walk past him but suddenly paused. He took a look at his firstborn again which he had never come to see face to face in these many years.

Sure, he had talked and conversed, even have given resources for them to cultivate but realized that he had never tried to understand them as his own children.

He didn't and haven't had the time to do so as he was busy with the Empire's affairs and keeping his women company.

Logan let out a sigh as his eyes showed an awkward glint but he still opened his mouth as he said, "Son, are you well?"

======

Davis sat on the wooden bench in the garden where there were different varieties of flora, all of them at Earth Grade while only an extreme few were at the Low-Level Sky Grade.

This is the place where the Royal Family cultivated their herbs for monthly use as well as for various purposes such as alchemy.

The herbs were neatly arranged in rows and columns while the intersection was pathways that one walked in to plant and collect the herbs.

Davis sat here as he enjoyed the scenery but the reason he came here was because of his little sister, Clara.

She had been sitting beside him, silently gazing at the colorful flowers and herbs.

Davis just came here a while ago and sat beside her as he saw her deep in thought.

"Uhh... So, how's it going?" Davis finally broke the silence.

"Hmm?" Clara turned her head as her eyes landed on him.

"Your Cultivation..."

Clara nodded her as if she had understood, "I've just had a breakthrough a month ago..."

"Oh... Which Cultivation System?"

"All."

Davis blinked and while seeing his confusion, Clara replied, "High-Level Body Transformation Stage, Low-Level Young Soul Stage, and Peak-Level Bronze Stage."

Davis blinked as he found it her increase in strength quite unbelievable, especially her Soul Forging Cultivation, but he then realized.

Combined with the Ice Phoenix Blood Essence and his teaching in Soul Forging Cultivation, maybe she really did have a bountiful harvest in her cultivation.

He nodded his head and advised, "You're progressing quite quickly. Just make sure you stabilize your foundation..."

Clara shook her head, "I have been bestowed the Ice Phoenix Blood Essence, so I wouldn't face a bottleneck until I reach the Seventh or Eighth Stage."

"No, bottlenecks and a solid foundation are two different things. If you don't have a solid foundation, you might find that your energy is lacking compared to others, even being unable to tap out your full prowess in case of an occurrence of a fatal situation that might decide the fate of your life and death."

Clara blinked in response, "I've never encountered a situation like that..."

David nodded, "Just because you cultivated without a problem doesn't mean that a problem doesn't exist. It will reveal itself when you're injured... Or at the time when you're at the weakest..."

"The worst-case scenario is that your cultivation might actually regress at that point. If you read in the Cultivation Deficiency Section of the Royal Library, you should know about this point too.

Clara's eyes flashed as she remembered the contents. She then nodded her head as if she understood.

"Leaving that topic, I wonder if you achieved the elementary level in Ice Laws?"

Clara extended her arms and pointed above. The moisture in the air slowly gathered as a sharp icicle formed.

"I didn't even need to comprehend it... When I absorbed the Ice Phoenix Blood Essence, I found out that I had mysteriously comprehend the Ice Laws even without consciously contemplating on it."

"As I thought, I've also absorbed the Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence, and automatically comprehended elementary level Earth Laws."

Davis also extended his hands and a yellow flow formed above his fingers as it slowly solidified into a rock.

He waved his hand and threw the rock to the side, "Although I don't plan on training my Essence Gathering Cultivation with Earth Laws, I'm quite eager to strengthen my body with it."

"After all, Earth Laws is one of the Laws which provides high defense."

Clara nodded her head but didn't reply.

Davis looked at her as she went silent again. It seemed that she spent time here for a while at least every week.

'She is slowly becoming introverted, no, that's quite not right. She becomes hyperactive only when there is something new to discover or unearth.'

"So, the thing is... Will you come with me to a place in the future? I need your help." Davis finally got to the point.

Clara's eyes finally shone as she turned to look back at him again.

"Is it the First Layer?"

Davis shook his head.

Clara's expression deflated but her eyes still had a hint of curiosity, "Oh, I will go with you..."

Davis wryly smiled on seeing her deflated expression but he still thanked her.

Just when he tried to leave without disturbing her, a figure walked and sat beside him. While Clara was on his left, the newcomer sat to his right.

"What's the matter, Timi?" Davis asked as he looked at her side figure.

Timi smiled back at him with a sweet expression on her face, "I just wanted to let you know that I broke through to the Revolving Core Stage!"

She wore a red-colored silky robe and had her hair tied up in a bun. Her face was slightly round but her figure was quite attractive, probably inherited from her mother, Raifa Yael.

Her facial features were beautiful yet she always had a smile on her face, like she was always calculating something in her heart slyly.

Davis nodded, "Good then, now you will be able to cultivate your soul. All you have to do is keep the basics I taught in your mind as you resonate your soul with the surrounding heaven and earth energy."

"Nascent Soul Stage should be easier to cultivate considering that you have my knowledge...." He added.

Timi kept nodding as her face blossomed into a widened smile.

Davis awkwardly smiled back at her. This elder stepsister of his was overly active as she posed numerous questions to him when he taught his step-siblings about Soul Forging Cultivation.

Even he found it difficult to answer those creative questions posed by her because it was concerned with the meaning of the soul rather than its growth.

Such as...

"Teacher, does a soul feel emotions? How is out any different from what I'm feeling now?"

"Teacher, does the soul actually enter the reincarnation cycle when we die? If so, is there any point in living now?"

"Teacher..."

Davis shook the thoughts away from his mind and asked, "It can't be you just came here for just letting me know, right?"

Timi embarrassedly smiled as she extended her hands.

Davis rolled his eyes and passed her a spirit stone.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Timi chuckled and ran off away from the garden.

Not one of his elder brothers or elder sisters dared to call him little brother, instead, since they participated in his lecture, they called him a teacher.

Davis feeling that not one of them was quite bad at the time he taught about Soul Forging Cultivation, gave them spirit stones each month from then on.

He had many spirit stones with him, so he wasn't bothered by giving one or two every month for them. It didn't even burn a hole in his enormous wealth.

In fact, he even knew that some of them handed it over to their mothers, helping them cultivate to Revolving Core Stage. At the very least, with a single spirit stone, one could at least form a Fourth Grade Revolving Core.

Just when he saw her disappearing from his view on the hallway connecting the garden, he saw Ernest walking past the hallway with an elated expression on his face.

'What's wrong with him?' Davis made a confused expression but didn't bother to ask. He promptly stood up and left, but suddenly a hand grasped him from letting him leave.

He turned back and saw Clara looking at him with a doubtful expression on her face, "Brother, could you explain to me about the stage that's above the Ninth Stage?"

"The rumored Immortal Stage?" Davis inclined his head as he asked and saw the latter nod her head. He sat down but asked, "Why do you want to know? It's so far away from the current us..."

Clara shook her head, "The Ice Pheonix Mistress mentioned something about being a candidate if one could reach the Immortal Stage..."

Davis turned stunned, "Candidate? Candidate for what purpose?"

Clara shook her head again, "I don't know, that's why I'm curious..."

Davis leaned back and heaved out a breath of confusion.

Candidate?

What did that mean?

Candidate for exactly what? At the Immortal Stage?

Could it be there's a stage above Immortal Stage which he hadn't heard of or did the candidate refer to an almighty position in the rumored upper realms?

Davis felt a headache and even thought of curbing Clara from reaching the Immortal Stage, however, he considered against it and simply said, "Even I don't know much about Immortal Stage."
