Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 60: Grand Sea Continent Mee

"Rumor has it that she reached the fabled sixth stage and successfully left the continent!." Logan suddenly dropped an explosive news that ringed like a bell in Davis's ears.

"Impossible! Isn't our continent sealed by a barrier which makes it hard for people above the fifth stage to enter? Maybe if you see it from the outside world's perspective, our continent is almost like a secret realm!" Davis shouted in disbelief.

"It seems like the barrier only restricts outsiders and not the ones who are born on this continent."

"Even so, how did she reach the sixth stage which is really difficult to reach here?"

"I told you right? That she got an inheritance. It must have been really powerful."

Davis finally nodded his head in understanding. "It's no wonder that she could reach the throne so soon at her age even when her predecessors are still alive."

"It looks like her ambitions are much higher than conquering a lousy continent, good for us though..." Logan commented, a little jealous of her strength.

"And what does that have to do with my mother?" Davis looked at him and questioned as he vaguely understood but wasn't sure of it.

Logan said in a solemn tone. "Your mother is not of our continent."

Davis widened his eyes and clenched his fists.

Because he knew that if the Grand Sea Continent were to know about it, then she would be targeted from all the Empires!

"You know that every 15 years, is the opening of our realm for the outsiders, right?" Logan held Davis's shoulders.

"Yes.."

During the opening of the realm, various fifth stage and lower cultivators swarm like bees to invade the continent but luckily, all the forces of the continent join hands every 15 years temporarily to stop their invasion.

Fifth Stage experts of the continent are very few and less nowadays. That's why they don't take part in wars and instead, defend the continent from the outsiders.

"The next opening of our realm is.." He continued.

"In 2 years, right? So you met mother 13 years ago?" Davis interjected.

"Very perceptive, yes. 13 years ago was when our realm last opened to the outsiders." Logan nodded. He then smiled.

"She and I were originally enemies, but fate played us together. But I am very thankful for the heavens for that as well."

"I won't go detailed into our past, but your mother forbids herself from returning to her homeland, severing her martial career. She made a cruel choice on herself to stay with me. That's why I want you to be just like Empress Isabella Ruth, who carves a path for herself!." By the time he finished the sentence, Logan held Davis's shoulder tightly.

"Make yourself strong, stronger than me, stronger than everybody, so that you would make your mom immensely proud!"

"I will!" Davis answered with fervour and determination.

"Then once you are high above, return to our continent, and prove that your mom's decision at that time was not wrong!"

"Yes!!" Davis's blood boiled as he clenched his fists.

Logan calmed down before saying.

"In a year, the Grand Sea Continent Meet will take place. I want you to join it just like I joined and got the first place before."

"Hmm? Wasn't Empress Isabella Ruth stronger than you?" Davis asked in confusion.

"She was probably receiving her inheritance at that time, so she didn't show up for the competition." Logan grinned and said.

"Oh! What's so great about the competition for me to participate in it?" Davis wanted to know why he should participate in a competition that he wasn't interested at all.

"There is another entrance." Logan suddenly said.

"What? Another?" Davis's eyes went wide.

"Yes, and it only allows people below 30 of bone age to pass through that entrance," Logan said, his tone was one of disappointment.

"So, the competition is for choosing the young heroes to stop the invasion of the outsiders in that entrance?"

"Yes, spots will be handed out for the Top 200 geniuses to enter that entrance."

"Ah, so the powerful people are monopolizing the loot they get from the invaders? I understand." Davis laughed sarcastically as he understood.

"Yes, this is how the world works but it won't be so easy to kill a genius from the outsiders as they have escape talismans, while we don't..." Logan said in a grave tone.

"I see.." Davis shrugged because it didn't matter if they had escape talismans or not, he can kill them in an instant after all.

"Even if they have looted, it'll only be the worth of Mid Level Sky Grade and lower but not higher."

"Wait, then why don't you guys just soul search their minds for their cultivation techniques and information about their homeland?"

"We tried, but all their souls have been sealed by higher powers from leaking information, they can't even divulge even if they wanted to share their information."

"Even Mom?" Davis asked as he clenched his fists.

"Yes, that's why I wanted you to get stronger since you have a powerful soul. If it's you, then I can be assured that you can remove the seal from her soul sooner, and I believe that you can grow stronger than anyone else in a short period of time." Logan said as if he had blind confidence in his son.

"Why do you say so?" Davis narrowed his eyes as he felt it be fishy.

"Your soul has grown much stronger and that amulet isn't powerful enough to block my probing, so I obviously know that you have at least reached the Young Soul Stage." Logan looked smugly at Davis as if he won a battle against him.

"Haha, looks like I got caught! I thought I would give you a surprise during the competition." Davis said, a little glad.

He failed to consider the amulet's power for blocking people from probing.

'Looks like it couldn't block an Adult Soul Stage's Soul Sense.'

"Don't be stupid, If I didn't know, then I wouldn't send you to the competition at all in the first place. Your safety is the most important after all." Logan berated him.

"And above all else, you are only 9 years old..." Logan said with a grin.

Davis and Logan then looked at each other with an underlying meaning in it.

Davis was thankful that his father didn't ask about how he managed to increase his Soul Cultivation quickly. Logan obviously understood faintly, that even if he asked Davis, he wouldn't answer this question. So Logan didn't ask about it or else it would have made things awkward between them.
