Chapter 1632 - Stargaze Pills
Davis looked at this Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree with shining eyes. It was withered but not dead as he could feel its spirit still residing within it. Its situation was vastly different than the viridian fruit's tree that had already withered and rotted.
He felt that there was a chance that he could bring its vitality back with Fallen Heaven's improved prowess, but since the Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree naturally expended its vitality, was such a thing possible?
Davis descended into contemplation for a moment before he asked.
"What can you find the resources that are used to grow this tree or even increase its vitality in the long run?"
Soul Emperor Elusivemist raised his brows before he smiled.
"The Astral Light Sect and the Vast Sky Emperor Palace have the resources that this Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree requires to increase its growth and vitality, but since the tree started withering long ago, we no longer require those resources as we cannot stop it once it started. It had entered its final stages of death and would soon leave an essence seed from blooming a flower on its crown one last time during the lunar eclipse that could be unquestionably be grown into a new Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree, but it would take us fifty thousand years for it to grow and another fifty thousand years for it to bloom and ripen into fruits."
"Moreover, each fruit takes anywhere between twenty-five thousand years and fifty thousand years to grow depending on the nutrients they receive, so it is quite impracticable for us to even bother about it. Let's move forwards."
"Stop. I'm not done yet."
Davis spoke in a calm voice while Soul Emperor Elusivemist obediently stopped, waiting for Davis to say something while in confusion.
He could understand this Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree's charm, but there was no need to spend time here when his intention was to reach the Treasury, right?
'Could it be that the Emperor of Death is really considering nurturing the tree at this state?'
He couldn't help but inwardly shake his head.
Davis pursed his lips, pausing for a moment as he took a deep look at the Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree before he continued.
"Are there any seeds left after you people used the fruits?"
Soul Emperor Elusivemist's face became amused.
"Even growing one of these is too difficult, so why would we keep the seeds when they can all be effectively used in pill recipes both individually and along with the fruits? Besides, not all seeds are going to grow into a mature Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree. However, I think it is possible that one or two seeds might remain in the Treasury for preservation."
Davis nodded three times, feeling like he should try reviving it. However, there was another thing that was plaguing his mind.
If the Stargaze King Radiance Pill was increasing one's battle prowess in the King Soul Stage, what was it actually increasing? The soul essence's quality like he initially expected or something else?
"How does soul force improve, and what relations does it have with the prowess of the soul? The Essence Gathering Cultivation has its types of manifestations, domains, seas, and runes. Similarly, Body Tempering Cultivation has five types of domains and crests, so what about Soul Forging Cultivation? Don't tell me it only has domains, and if it has only domains, then what are its levels?"
"You don't even know, and yet..."
Soul Emperor Elusivemist couldn't believe how powerful this young man was despite knowing nothing about the levels that divide domains in King Soul Stage.
Davis remained nonchalant. He wasn't embarrassed as he knew that he was coming off as ignorant and didn't mind these strange gazes since learning from a person is also a quick way to know the specifics of what he should aim for and achieve. His main body had already begun to cultivate, so there was little time to lose.
Soul Emperor Elusivemist quickly came out of his reverie knowing that Davis was only a youth and would have many doubts in regards to Soul Forging Cultivation. He felt that if he could teach him about Soul Forging Cultivation and get in his good books, it would definitely be beneficial for him and the Soul Palace.
"Impudent! Do you think that our Soul Emperor is your servant to be constantly asking these mundane questions?"
However, Threelotus mistook Soul Emperor Elusivemist's silence for distaste and contempt towards the guest.
Furthermore, knowing that this black-robed person's level wouldn't be high if he didn't know much about Soul Forging Cultivation, she automatically lowered this guest's status in her mind.
"Shut up! Do you know who this person is!?"
"...!?"
Threelotus became stunned as she saw Soul Emperor Elusivemist gnarl at her. He raised his hand, looking like he was about to slap her, when a cold voice echoed.
"I am not here to watch drama."
Soul Emperor Elusivemist's palm arrived right near Threelotus's cheek before it abruptly stopped, causing her to feel a deep chill creeping through her spine. She shook as she took a step back in fright, feeling her body ceaselessly tremble while it almost made her legs limp, causing her to kneel.
"I... I apologize for overstepping my bounds."
Threelotus didn't completely understand the situation, but she quickly apologized as she lowered her head, causing Soul Emperor Elusivemist to nod with a twitch of his expression that displayed annoyance.
It struck a nerve in him to be called a servant when he was actually worse, a slave.
