Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 119: Breakthrough, Mid-Level Adult Soul Stage!

Claire hurriedly held his shoulders and shouted excitedly, "Davis! You must have almost comprehended the Heart Intent!"

"Heart Intent? Is it like Sword Intent?" With a curious face, he questioned. He hadn't read about this so-called Heart Intent before.

"It is not like those intents, it is mysterious and ethereal! Ancient texts recorded that those who have comprehended the Heart Intent could see through the hearts of people."

Hearing the use is its power, Davis thought that this Intent was close to the Truth Eyes of Clara.

"It has no offensive power?" He then questioned, what he needed was an offensive ability right now, not a supportive ability.

"Of course, it has, but not on the first level. You will be even able to influence the hearts of people, convince them to change their ways, or make them work for you."

Davis widened his eyes in astonishment, "This is better than placing soul seals on people and turning them into a puppet!"

'Besides, writing the name of some people might make them my slaves, but later kills them inevitably! This Heart Intent is way better!'

"Mother, quickly tell me on how to comprehend the Heart Intent!" Davis held her hands and excitedly asked.

Claire wryly laughed, "This… The ancient texts I read did not mention the method to comprehend the Heart Intent. All it did mention was that it depends on the person and their insights."

"What? So vague!" Davis's face changed into one of disappointment.

"It can't be helped. After all, it said that it was enigmatic and cannot be comprehended unless you receive an epiphany…" Claire said as she smiled slightly.

Suddenly, his saddened face froze!

Claire noticed it and couldn't help but worry, "What happened!?"

His frozen face turned incomparably jubilant as he grinned, "I feel like I'm going to experience breakthrough!"

Claire's expression also turned jubilant as she added, "Even though you failed to comprehend Heart Intent, it must have helped you to gain the momentum to break through the next level!"

Davis kept nodding his head. Finally, he could ask questions and get answers from the Death Book!

"Quick, concentrate on breaking through, don't let this chance escape!" Claire said as she went out of his study.

Davis hurriedly sat in the lotus position and concentrated on breaking through the next level.

Claire was outside the study, she waited for him to succeed as worry was visible on her face.

An hour had passed before Davis walked out of the study. He had a smile on his face, blazing with confidence which ultimately indicated that he had successfully experienced a breakthrough!

Claire looked at him and became quite satisfied to see him regain his previous calm mental state, "Congratulations on breaking through to the Mid-Level Adult Soul Stage, my son!"

"Hehe" Davis chuckled as he looked at his mother's proud expression.

"Now don't get so arrogant and try to do something about Ellia, you're still too weak." Claire reminded him, she did not want to have her son die in vain.

"I know…" Davis replied calmly as he thought about the conversation with the Death Book after he broke through to the Mid-Level Adult Soul Stage.

=======

A few minutes ago…

Resplendent white light shone brightly while the space around Davis turned incomparably misty as it shrouded the room.

Davis opened his eyes and felt stronger and pure. He suddenly thought of something but didn't ask, instead he tried asking what he wanted to know the most, "Now that I've achieved a breakthrough, I believe that you will now answer my questions!"

A crispy voice echoed in his mind, "Well well, I thought you will take some time to break through the next level, but who would have thought that you will encounter some luck! Heh, this ruined the fun for me as I wanted to keep you in the dark for some more time."

Replying coldly, Davis's face lit up with a slight grin, "How embarrassing, looks like you can even predict my next actions after being with me for so many years. It doesn't matter though, I just want to know everything that had happened to Ellia? I won't let you say no for an answer!"

It laughed crisply and replied, "Boy, I'll keep up my words! You don't have to worry about it…"

"Then say it!" Davis grunted in annoyance and anticipation.

"Alright then, listen carefully…" Echoed the voice as it chuckled lightly.

Davis nodded, he focused on its voice, "Your lovely little friend is possessed!"

Davis's face stiffened, "What? Then was my guess wrong!?"

He thought Ellia was a reincarnator, probably an old female cultivator who had experienced life, so he had thought of convincing her somehow to come back to him.

A displeased voice echoed in his mind, "Don't interrupt me! I told you to listen carefully!"

Davis then nodded lightly, he had no choice but to follow its instructions as he wanted to know the truth behind Ellia's transformation.

"She was indeed possessed, but the one who possessed her might be her previous incarnation from what I've seen so far." It then went silent.

Davis who had been listening to it, suddenly realized that it was waiting for him to ask a question, "So you mean to say that Ellia is not the reincarnator?"

"Glad you asked, she isn't! Her previous incarnation is the one who reincarnated in her body. So basically, the one who possessed Ellia is an invader, who is totally compatible with the vessel, which is Ellia's body!"

He turned silent but had a smile on his face as he continued listening.

"Your Ellia is still somewhere locked in her own soul sea. Her consciousness might have been sealed or imprisoned by her previous incarnation. Hey, what are you smiling at?"

Davis chuckled as he thought of something funny, "No, I was just thinking that if I should convince her to let Ellia go and make her my friend as well if…"

"Oh, sounds interesting…" It laughed before its voice turned angry, "I can't wait to see you try that and get your head chopped off! Haha! Are you fucking stupid!?"

Davis became dumbfounded because he didn't think that it would get this angry, 'Is it even capable of having emotions?'

He had wanted to say that if the previous incarnation was obedient, then he wasn't aversed to giving her a chance since he was also in a similar kind of situation.

He shook his head and replied with a chuckle, "I was just kidding!"

Harrumphing in a cold voice, the Death Book replied, "Kid, it was pretty boring but I liked your cold personality when you were in the third layer. Did you get soft and cozy while you were playing family all this while!?"

"It would be a real pity if your fake family were to suddenly die for no reason…" Laughing creepily in a crisp voice, it sneered.

"Shut your mouth!!" Davis expressed his anger with an enraged expression on his face. For a moment, he felt like destroying this Death Book even though he possibly couldn't.
