Chapter 2074: Obscure Heart

Of course, he also slept with s.h.i.+rley as s.h.i.+rley herself requested him, so they slept for two hours like two mortal beings before waking up.

Davis also had gained some relaxation since he didn't have a wince of sleep in these two months, not that he required it in the first place, but sleep still had calming and revitalizing effects on one's soul in terms of exhaustion. He felt rejuvenated as s.h.i.+rley did, but before their intimate hand-holding in bed could transform into a full-fledged erotic affair, they left.

They went on to call Clara and leave with her, but halfway, an icy-blue-robed white-haired woman blocked their pathway.

"Congratulations, s.h.i.+rley."

"Ellia, you came." s.h.i.+rley rejoiced, "Have you seen our child?"

She had also communicated with Ellia and Myria a few times using projection these past two months, so their relations.h.i.+p was still amicable despite the tension.

Ellia shook her head in response, awkwardly smiling behind her icy-blue veil, "I wasn't allowed inside, so I left to come search for you."

"Ah, I'm apologetic for that. Let's go. I'll show you-"

"It's fine."

Ellia waved her hand before her relaxed posture changed into one of innate n.o.bleness, "When exactly are you going to ascend? Time doesn't wait, and neither do my foes. The Calamity Light above is already nearing the level of a stable spatial vortex, so if you keep waiting-"

"Well, don't be so hasty. Do you have confidence that you can lose your foes if you ascend? Isn't that the worst scenario you could think of, being able to be easily tracked down once you ascended?"

Myria stared at Davis, not speaking for a few moments before she shook her head, "I don't have any. However, do you plan to be cornered here? At least, in the ascended world, you would be able to run around as much as you want to, bide your time, become stronger and strike back."

"I agree with you, Myria." Davis nodded, "However, I still have a few things more things to do here. If I can't finish it within the unknown time and couldn't battle against the foe, then I'll retreat back to the place where I truly originate from, a place where similarly, the foe you speak of fell to the master of this world. I suggest you come with me."

"What?"

Myria's eyes widened in astonishment. There was a place like that?

Looking at Davis's smirk, Myria couldn't help but wonder if his words were true.

If that was the case, then no wonder he was a.s.sured of staying here, not having much dread in his heart.

Davis didn't lie.

Tian Cangjie had been crippled by the master of this world and let off in the Third Layer to live a life worse than death. Therefore, Davis more or less thought if someone were to invade the Third Layer and lay destruction to the astral bodies, the master of this world would definitely make a move.

However, Davis didn't bother to explain this to Myria as she didn't ask why but he looked at her contemplate with narrowed eyes as she looked away.

"If what you're saying is true, then I have one more choice to make in the overall scheme of things. However, since this plan of yours relies on the elusive master of this world, it's no different from the idea we conceived that the invading foe would be suppressed upon entering this world."

Davis's brows narrowed.

"Surely, the master of this world wouldn't take things down lying on all fours when an uninvited guest had invaded deep into their home unless they're dead. What do you think?"

"I think it's not good to rely on a person you don't know even a thing or two about." Myria shook her head when suddenly her tone became softer, "Honestly, getting divined was my mistake. I should've known better and warded off my soul's resonance with the heaven and earth energy while breaking through. If I had done such a thing, I wouldn't have been found."

"That can't be helped I guess."

Davis smilingly shrugged, causing Myria to stare at him again before she shook her head.

"I commend you for not using Enigmatic Heart Laws against me in these few months, or else, I would've been more suspicious of your actions and behavior, making me think that you're a chameleon in disguise."

Myria was still at the High-Level Emperor Soul Stage. However, she would breakthrough in a few days, but that was not attracted his attention but the way she addressed Heart Intent.

"Enigmatic Heart Laws? What's that? What I'm using is called Heart Intent of Heart Laws, right?"

Davis chuckled but looking at Myria's gaze that exuded a smile yet not a smile, he pursed his lips, blinking in confusion, wondering if Myria found him distasteful for using such a Law or was she

"Heart Intent? Heart Laws?"

Myria's voice sounded exasperated before she uttered with a gentle sigh, "Who was the person who made such a low-level mistake like this? But, considering that both Laws have similar names and this place is disconnected, I guess that's only normal."

"What do you mean?" Davis blinked.

"What you comprehended and used on others to understand their emotions isn't Heart Laws, but I wouldn't say that it is completely different. Heart Laws is a Supreme Law, a fusion between Sound Laws and Desire Laws, of which the latter is the fusion of Illusion Laws and Charm Laws."

"Huh?"

"Yes, it's a fusion between three to four Laws. However, what you comprehended was something similar yet different. It's called the Phyletic Law of Human Race, Enigmatic Heart Laws, an evolutionary result of the growth of a race as a whole."

"" Davis's mouth moved, but no words came out while Myria continued.

"Everything born into this world has laws governing it. Humans, magical beasts, spirits, and many lifeforms. We aren't just existences made by the whim of the heavens."

"Even armament and artifact spirits?"

"Yes, or so it's theorized by the ancient people who named it."

Davis couldn't help but gawk, "Then you're telling me that I reached Level Two Intent in Enigmatic Heart Laws, which is a Phyletic Law and not Heart Laws, which is a Supreme Law?"

Myria nodded her head in response, "You tell me that your Heart Intent has reached Level Two Intent. However, you're wrong. You should say that it has reached Level Two Obscure Intent."

"Obscure? Not Abstruse?" Davis asked confusedly. If it's a Law at a whole new level, then shouldn't it be called Abstruse?

"No, Enigmatic Heart Law doesn't come under the category of Primary Laws, Greater Laws, and Supreme Laws. It comes under Phyletic Laws which follow its own rules, one of them being that it only concerns the soul, not the body nor the essence. For example, you can start comprehending Level One Obscure Intent when your soul enters the Elder Soul Stage, the Fifth Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation. As for Level Two Obscure Intent, you will only be able to comprehend it upon nearing King Soul Stage, the Eighth Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation, and so on."

"Wait, I comprehended Level One Intent of Enigmatic Heart Law when I reached Infant Soul Stage!" Davis clarified.

"That's Elementary Obscure Intent." Myria couldn't help but slightly laugh, "No wonder you are unable to display the full extent of Level Two Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws. If you were, you could've probably manipulated me to death, although I doubt it. Right now, you're only at Level One Obscure Intent."

A prideful tone laced into Myria's voice by the end. To control her Eternal Life Soul was many times harder than one could think.

Davis blinked three times, understanding that he hadn't comprehended Level Two Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws yet but would be able to since he had already climbed above the,

"But, I'll commend you to be able to learn the Phyletic Law of our Human Race and be able to arrive at this point of comprehending Level One Obscure Intent. That's more than one in a trillion talent even in the immortal world."

Davis couldn't help but smile at Myria's honest compliment. Simultaneously, he wondered what she would tell if she knew that Ancestor Dian Alstreim also comprehended Level One Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws. However, there was something more pressing in his mind.

"What about Level Three Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws and even Level Fo-?"

"Don't even go there."

Myria's gaze became solemn as she quickly cut him off, causing Davis to blink before he brought his arm up and rubbed his chin.

"Are there Laws above Supreme Laws?"

"There is but speaking about it would infringe upon the secrets of the heavens rather heavily. The same could be said about what you asked before. Even so, do you want to still hear it?"

"No thanks." Davis waved his hand to Myria's amused question, "I'm not looking to die."

"Good. I was not going to tell you either. For Ellia's sake and my own revenge, how can I let you die a foolish death?"

Myria harrumphed before she turned around and began to walk away.

On the other hand, Davis remained shocked at this revelation that he couldn't believe that the entire world here had misunderstood what was supposed to be what was Heart Laws, a Supreme Law with the Phyletic Law of the Human Race, the Enigmatic Heart Laws. One was a Law that all races could comprehend if they had the capability, while the other was exclusive to humans.

It was almost like their Species Law like magical beasts embody but were greatly hidden and extremely difficult to excavate, and hence, he could understand why it was named under the category of a Phyletic Law.

As he was in deep contemplation over Myria's words, he suddenly saw her turning around to look as though she wasn't done yet.

"There's also something I should say, but Ellia keeps annoying me that I shouldn't say it as it's insensitive. However, I think you might want to hear it either way before it becomes too late."
