Chapter 1216 The Myth He Had Heard

Davis watched their body become stiff while their eyes stayed on the canteen he held. It wasn't a stupid move as he had thought a lot before revealing that he had the nectar with him.

If they were any other group that he didn't like, he would've sabotaged and killed them without a doubt. No, he would've abandoned following them long ago or stopped thinking of trying his chances, but now that he was here and came to know that they were not bad people, he felt that such an ending for this trio wasn't deserved.

Besides, he was more than ninety-nine percent sure that they wouldn't harm him because Alia's lifespan was more than it seemed in reality.

They were all thinking that she was going to die, but she would not die, meaning that events led him to help them instead of killing them. He had thought about it a lot and felt that Alia's lifespan had changed the moment he decided to follow them at the Dark Thunder Island. They were afar at that time, or else he felt that his Death G.o.d Eyes would've reacted to the change.

Since this was what probably transpired, he felt that it would be safe. Besides, having to go back to the Alstreim Family just to put an act when he could get it over right now was equal to wasting time, and time was something that he lacked right now. Moreover, he inwardly appreciated this old lady for wanting to let him go.

If they had all tried to kill or capture him, he wouldn't have held back in responding in aggression either.

Davis and Nadia lost the moment Zanna found them, but the moment she responded to his 'wait!', Zanna and her people lost since Davis had them checkmated with Fallen Heaven. Davis now believed that he had control of the situation, leading to his confidence and calmness. However, that would soon change with him revealing this nectar.

Of course, he was going to give it to them as he had made his decision, but would they kill or capture him afterward?

He rather remained expectant what kind of a course they would take, but he already knew the answer with Alia's lifespan. Since her lifespan was long and there seemed to be no signs of changing, that meant the two groups maintained peace. At least, that is what he could infer.

"Here, take the nectar and use it to break through to the Martial Sage Stage."

The trio appeared to look as if they had heard something inconceivable. Their gaze fell on Davis as they narrowed their eyes, wondering what brought him to do this kind of stunt.

"What is the meaning of this? You're revealing that you have the nectar in front of us?" Mival still didn't make a move as he deeply stared at Davis.

Davis's lips widened as he spoke with a smile.

"Sincerity..."

Mival looked at the brat who still keep his composure in front of him.

Sincerity...?

Was he naive or possess a grand plan in store for them? He couldn't figure it out. If Alia wasn't behind him, he would be bolder, but with her near to this existence that seemed to linger outside his common sense, he stayed vigilant.

However, Davis did indeed have a plan for them because he recalled who these people might be, but he wasn't sure of a few things, wanting to verify them first. Revealing the nectar was also for that.

"Is that really something that could make me reach the Martial Sage Stage...?" Alia stepped out from Mival's back as she walked towards Davis.

Mival tried to stop her, but she raised her hand towards him before stopping a few meters away from Davis.

"Yes, you have my word, and the Dragon Queen's too." Davis answered, "This one liter of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's Nectar will help you step into the Martial Sage Stage, and it wouldn't let you feel much pain as a wave of pleasure soon follows with every circulation of your martial energy."

Indeed, one liter was enough according to his calculations. Princess Isabella needed two liters, but that was in accordance with above-average requirements as she possessed an Unblemished Foundation. However, the same couldn't be said about Jade Sua or this Alia, so he mused that they only needed one liter of the nectar to experience a breakthrough to the Martial Sage Stage.

"I a.s.sume you are at the peak of Martial Master Stage?" Davis asked.

Alia nodded as her black eyes were quite dull. She looked as if she was reminiscing her past.

"Yes, but no matter how hard I try to break through into the Martial Sage Stage, I couldn't. My talent is subpar, and I am unable to condense and engrave the laws I have comprehended into my flesh to mark my entry into the Martial Sage Stage. I have been nothing but a burden to my husband Mival, wasting his hard-earned wealth."

"It's not like that, Alia!" Mival bellowed.

Alia shook her head before she smiled at Davis, "Can you still a.s.sure me that I can step into the Martial Sage Stage?"

Davis laughed, "In Body Tempering Cultivation, comprehension isn't a much-needed requirement. No matter what your Intent Level is, you need a similar amount of energy, a foundation of immense energy to support your breakthrough. Normally, since improving the foundation is difficult in Body Tempering Cultivation, pills compensate that energy and the same way, the nectar gives us immense energy required to breakthrough."

"However, different than those pills, it is completely natural and provides both a bit of pain and pleasure in the process of tempering. So yes, I can a.s.sure you again you will breakthrough into the Martial Sage Stage as long as you don't try to intentionally fail or you are a never before seen trash."

"You!"

"Thank you for your kind advice..." Alia smiled as she kept Mival at bay.

"What? I am merely stating the facts." Davis shrugged at Mival, causing him to take a deep breath.

Mival's fists trembled, but he knew what was more important to him now that he couldn't help but ask.

"I know this is late, but can you tell the what kind of side-effects does this Million Emerald Vines Calamity's Nectar has...? We are not sure other than hearing that it enables one to easily reach higher stages in Body Tempering Cultivation, even the Martial Sage Stage but not the Martial Overlord Stage."

"You are right," Davis nodded his head, "As far as I know, it's a heavenly resource or near to one as I'm not sure about the cla.s.sification of heavenly resources. There are no known side-effects, but its limitations are that it does not help you build a foundation. So if a lower stage cultivator dares to use this kind of amount at once, they would probably explode from the sheer energy that is generated within their body, but for Alia, it is fine since she is at the peak of the Martial Master Stage."

"I see..." Mival nodded in understanding, "But as a junior, you should be careful of your tone while speaking to your elders. Alia's age around thirteen thousand years old while I am more than... perhaps around forty thousand years old. Not only are we far older in age, but we are also far above you in cultivation. Since you have shown us your sincerity, I will forgive your past and further rudeness but know that all else will not be like me, like us."

"Just because you have the Dragon Queen behind you doesn't mean that everyone would fall to your feet. There are far crazier people you haven't met before. What's your age? It should be just below a hundred. You lack experience, so don't ever again be rude to higher stage cultivators unless you want to intentionally make them want to kill you for a petty reason."

"Yes, please don't court death for no reason..." Alia added.

Davis had his mouth slight agape as he listened to this strange lecture, but he smiled, "I've heard what I wanted to know... So you are that myth I've heard about, that old man who was said to have absorbed blood essence from a Viridian Lightning Fox before fortuitously becoming a half-human, half-fox man instead of dying a gruesome death after becoming a savage beast."

"Oh...? The humans here still remember me...? And I became a myth?" Mival appeared amused, and his statement told Davis that he was indeed that myth he heard in the Ethren City's Conferred King Tournament, which Isabella partic.i.p.ated in before being bestowed the t.i.tle of the Conferred Queen.

At that time, one of the Royal Protectors spoke about how there was a forty thousand plus-year-old half-human, half-fox whose life or death was unknown when Isabella asked if there were any present after her opponent had turned into a monster to defeat her.

Her opponent had tried to change into a fey by absorbing magical beast blood essence but failed, becoming a monster-like existence which is termed as savage beasts, neither a human nor a fey.

"Still, I heard that the Viridian Lightning Fox was a King Rank Species..." Davis turned his back towards them as he looked at Zanna, the magical beast woman with viridian eyes and long hair, the same as Mival.

Likely, she was the one who provided the blood essence for him to transform into a fey, but in what form, he didn't know.

"You're wrong." Mival shook his head, "Have you ever heard about the bloodline thinning problem?"

"Oh..." Davis turned back as he recalled reading about this from the Pa.s.sion Library, "I've heard about that alright. Although King Ranks Magical Beasts Species experience it too, mostly Emperor Rank Magical Beast Species fell prey to this problem as they bore descendants after descendants."

"That's right. Zanna should originally be an Emperor Rank Species Viridian Lightning Fox, but her generation was subjected to the bloodline thinning problem." Mival nodded, causing Davis's eyes to lit up.

"I understand, so Zanna had a low-quality bloodline when she was born, and it took you two a long time to reach the Ninth Stage because...?"

"You ask too much..." Mival shook his head, not willing to reveal so much about their lives.

"Because they had to find incredible and rare resources to increase Zanna's bloodline quality before infusing it to himself, all the while carrying the burden that is me..." Alia smiled as her wrinkles stretched, "Nevertheless, it still was only enough to make Zanna enter the Emperor Beast Stage nine thousand years ago while Mival entered the ninth stage around five thousand years ago."

She took the canteen from his hands amidst Mival's unamused gaze and gently smiled, "I don't know if this heaven's will or not, but your appearance here is truly a lifesaver. I genuinely appreciate your sincerity and help."
