Chapter 32: Clara’s Thoughts
Time progressed leisurely, and gradually, a year passed.
Davis continued to cultivate in all three Cultivation Systems. He pushed himself overboard and was determined to work hard. After experiencing the bloodshed of war, he was once again made to realize that life and death can be determined in a single instant.
Even he was able to end lives with the help of the Death Book in an instant, much less the powerful people who were possibly above the Fifth Stage with unknown yet powerful means.
He heard from his father and mother that their continent was isolated, and it was difficult for people above the Fifth Stage to enter into their continent.
So they speculated that seniors who had arrived during the war must have been way more powerful than experts above the Fifth Stage.
If he hadn't heard that, then he would've still been complacent with his Empire's power and position, although he knew that such a senior didn't exist.N♡vεlB¡n: Your Escape into Infinite Tales.
During this time, he reached Peak-Level Bronze Stage, Peak-Level Meridian Refinement Stage, and Mid-Level Infant Soul Stage.
Davis made progress in Body Tempering Cultivation System the most, reaching the Peak Level of Second Stage and even felt slightly proud of it.
To enter the Second Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation, he swallowed numerous pills and tempered his flesh and further strengthened his meridians. The Loret Imperial Family had the required resources, and with his endurance, he successfully cultivated.
As for Soul Forging Cultivation, he was a bit regretful that he didn't manage to absorb the souls of more than two million people he massacred. All of that went to waste.
Otherwise, he thought that he would have possibly broken straight through the Young Soul Stage. Of course, it was only in his imagination and knew that it was not realizable at all.
Due to the abnormality of the prison where numerous prisoners were dead, Davis temporarily avoided the prison and made an improvement in Soul Forging Cultivation by himself, experiencing an increase in level.
Even so, with this kind of cultivation base, he was only seven years old and soon going to be eight years old. This was an achievement that no one in this Grand Sea Continent was able to achieve.
Logan took charge as the Emperor seriously and cleared the capital of any insurgents and spies he could find. He executed all of them in public so people would have to think twice or thrice about being a spy again.
But Davis was having none of it...
He waited for her purple eyes to stop glowing.
Clara's eyes would slightly glow from time to time, randomly indicating that her ability was active, and for now, she had no control over it.
"Fine! You don't want to play anymore? Then I won't talk to you anymore either. Hmph! I'm going to see my sweet little sister Diana who's way cuter than someone else..." Davis gave a side glance and left.
"Huh? Don..."
Clara wanted to say it, but the words wouldn't come out. She held her hands in front of her chest and looked sad.
'No... Brother is already so strong, and if I am still like before, then I won't be able to be with him.' Clara's thoughts were pure without blemish.
She solely wished to follow her brother as she heard tales about the world outside.
As intelligent as she was, she realized that she was capable of complex thoughts for her age. She was only able to be herself when she was in front of her parents and her brother.
She could feel the gaze of fear and doubt in other people's eyes when they looked at her even when she was behaving normally. Even her parents were kind of awkward when she showed her intelligence, but her brother accepted everything.
Clara could tell this because of her eyes that could see through deceit and lies.
She could even see that most people acted in front of her, and that was quite an uncomfortable experience for her. So she adopted had a slightly cold character in front of her parents and others. Only in front of her brother would she be a bit playful and warm.
Only her brother was true in front of her. She could tell that although he lied from time to time, there was only care in it as he would immediately explain himself.
"Hmph! Keep up the act, brother!" Clara fumed with a flushed face and left.
Although her eyes were not active, she would know if her brother lied or not just by her intuition. She even formed a habit of being capable of telling the truth apart from lies by using her intuition.
Little did she know that she was little by little gaining control over her mystical Transcendent Truth Eyes by practicing this habit.
