<h4>Chapter 1455 - Spections</h4>


    "Shirley..." Isabe’s brows shot up a bit before she shot a smile, "So I take it that you met up with her...?"


    "Indeed, I did meet up with Shirley and..."


    Davis spoke with her about the whole encounter and what he was up to in the Burning Phoenix Ridge.


    "You killed three Ninth Stage Powerhouses, including an Ancestor of the Burning Phoenix Ridge whose cultivation is at the peak of High-Level Law Rune Stage and got scot-free while also protecting Shirley...? You’re kidding..."


    Isabe’s voice seethed with disbelief while she had also had a look of reverence because she felt like he was not kidding.


    "I didn’t get away scot-free." Davis shook his head, "I had to give the Incandescent Vermilion Soul Mantra, a desirable treasure to them, although I managed to hoodwink them with it because it isn’t that important to me. Moreover, I sacrificed my soul essence to use this technique two times, so the bacsh was equally harmful, but with my Life Laws, I managed to easily heal it."


    Isabe was just speechless. She waspletely taken aback and awed by his ount. Didn’t this mean that he could take her down in an instant as well?


    However, it wasn’t like he could go toe to toe with her. It just meant that he could kill her in an instant, having no need to battle in the first ce. It couldn’t help but make her feel a chill in her spine, a feeling of meekness and happiness welling up in her heart.


    "How do you feel knowing about this?" Davis chuckled, "Did your dragon’s pride ept mepletely?"


    Isabe blinked before she revealed an imperceptible smile as she raised her brows.


    "Why don’t you try petting me...?"


    Davis’s heart skipped a beat from her provocation. He pounced on her and pushed her on the bed, capturing her wrists as he towered above her once again.


    "Well, how do you feel?"


    Looking at the expression that Isabe tried to keep indifferent, he grinned.


    Isabe avoided his gaze while she could feel her heart pound rapidly without even garnering her permission. She told him to pet her, but he ended up pouncing on her, catching her off guard.


    "You were right. I feel more..." Isabe bit her lips for a few seconds before her luscious lips moved, "...subdued."


    Davis couldn’t help but smirk.


    It was not clear whether she was provoking him, but it was quite obvious if auras could affect or influence external factors, it could also affect internal factors.


    A basic example was killing intent, which could strike fear into a person’s heart or change the person emitting it into a killing machine if uncontrolled. Every aura had a certain influence on the user and its surroundings that it was basic knowledge but easily forgotten or overlooked.


    Moreover, he knew that Isabe was quite clear on the concept of a domineering husband and a submissive wife since she was a princess and also an empress from a dragon blood family.


    The men there naturally wanted to dominate, while the women were also powerful and domineering but want to be dominated by a stronger man. This told him why she initially preferred strong men, and it was amplified more by her environment.


    <i>’Well, every woman prefers a strong man. That’s their natural inclination, but Isabe fell in love with me, a man with her natural choice of character who possessed low cultivation but a more substantial potential. She naturally took a gamble by betting her whole life with me, a married man, a reincarnator, despite Earth Dragon Immortal’s many warnings, and that’s why she is inevitable and endearing to me.’</i>


    These concepts couldn’t help but make him feel more about Isabe’s love towards him while also reminding him about ra’s words.


    It made him realize a few intricacies that he didn’t see before.


    "Isabe, if I die one day, will you move onto another man?"


    Davis abruptly asked as he still held her down.


    Isabe’s expression became unamused, "Don’t be ridiculous. In this life, even before I met you, I have decided to be only with a single man, unlike you stinky men who l.u.s.t after women. Besides, you aren’t going to die, so stop with your absurd questions. We will live for an eternity."


    Davis couldn’t help but chuckle.


    "How long is an eternity?"


    "Until we both die together..."


    Isabe seriously replied while Davis’s smile faded, feeling moved inevitably. He was just teasing her since he got her into a hold, wanting to see her embarrassed reactions, but he became influenced instead.


    "Isabe..."


    He felt desirous as he smacked his lips on hers with intensity.


    "Mhmm!?~"


    Isabe’s eyes went wide as she didn’t expect him to kiss again.


    Wasn’t he aware that they would be no longer able to hold back?


    However, feeling addicted, her ck eyes melted as she closed and passionately kissed him back. Her hands were grasped by his single hand while his other hand fondled her b.r.e.a.s.ts, causing her to close her legs as she felt her body bing hotter.


    She m.o.a.n.e.d into his mouth, each gasping sound of hers sounding heavenly to Davis.


    "Damn it... We got distracted again..."


    Isabe gasped as her big bosoms heaved, "Right, we strayed from discussing ’candidate’..."


    "Oh wait, it’s fine if you’re restricted to keep silent about this ’candidate’ matter, though..."


    "It’s not like that." Isabe sat up as she took a deep breath, calming herself down, but the blush on her cheeks didn’t fade, "The Earth Dragon Immortal did not put any restrictions on me."


    "Really?"


    Davis felt skeptical.


    He believed Isabe, but the Earth Dragon Immortal who kicked him out made him feel otherwise.


    "It’s true. Noble Benefactor is a righteous individual, although you were wronged. However, there’s a reason for that. Because you, a reincarnated entity, would not be allowed to obtain a candidate seat, which makes giving you the inheritance pointless."


    Davis blinked, "I see... Is there a reason why reincarnators aren’t allowed to be candidates?"


    "I don’t know. Maybe because it’s unfair to the talented youths who are not reincarnators? You tell me..." Isabe blinked.


    Davis almost awkwardly scratched his head as he realized the facy, but he kept his face straight, "I may be a reincarnator, but I possess zero cultivation experience. I was a mortal."


    "No one would think that way after seeing your abnormal cultivation level..."


    Isabe shrugged while Davis sighed, "Indeed..."


    It didn’t matter if he reincarnated even while he was a baby. Clearly, the reincarnators were an exception. Furthermore, Ellia was also rejected by the Ice Phoenix Immortal.


    Nevertheless, Davis rather felt thankful that Isabe didn’t probe where he got these sacrificial killing techniques and the abnormal ability toprehend both Life Laws and Death Laws while he was a mortal. Likely, Isabe knew what she could ask and what she could not.


    His women all acted dumb cute, but they were all smart, knowing their limits.


    "So, our purpose, the purpose of the inheritors like ra, Shirley, and me in this world, is to obtain a candidate seat by proving that we’re a powerful Immortal in the Immortal Layer where numerous Immortalspete. As for what it entails, it seems that we have topete with each other for the reward, the token to exit the Immortal Layer, although I don’t know if the battle format is a crazy one against all or free for all or one on one or something else entirely it is clear that there’s a ranking in the Immortal Layer and we have to get to the top to exit the Immortal Layer."


    "As for what the candidacy is for, it is more unclear, although I presume that it should be a pathway to some higher level of cultivation we haven’t heard of before."


    "That seems usible..." Davis nodded, "However, if it is possible, I think you, ra, and Shirley can team up while I’ll also search for an Immortal Inheritance somewhere, trying to hoodwink by hiding or disguising my soul age deviation somehow."


    Isabe smiled, "I know I can count on you, but it’s fine even it is not. Just know that if there ever came a time that I would have to battle against ra and Shirley, you decide which one of us should drop out. On the other hand, if you manage to obtain an Immortal Inheritance, we will drop out, although I can’t speak for them."


    Davis blinked while Isabe smiled charmingly. Her man didn’t easily give up, even while knowing that it was not allowed for reincarnators to obtain the candidate seat.


    "You can tell me your decisionter when we ascend. So, another thing... ah yes... I came to know that this world is a hidden world, including the Immortal Layer."


    Isabe suddenly dropped a bomb, but it was like a mere spark to Davis as he nodded again.


    "As expected..."


    Isabe felt taken aback that he didn’t seem to be surprised. However, it wasn’t like he was not surprised. It was just... he expected this to be the case.


    If the Immortal Layer was just up ahead, then why wasn’t anyone able to return or enter? The fact that they all ascended one day meant that they all were forced to ascend, which means this hidden world was in control of a single entity, which he presumed to be Fallen Heaven’s sealer or some other entity he had no idea about.


    Moreover, the only thing trying to enter the Fifty-Two Territories was that Cmity Light of unknown nature, so it was rather clear to him that the Immortal Layer only contained Immortals and not some high-level entities he hadn’t heard about yet.


    Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a fair ying ground for the so-called candidates.


    Isabe wryly smiled and continued.


    "It seems that the Earth Dragon Immortal’s n own a Territory to themselves in the outer world, although I don’t know the outer world’s name nor was I informed of the outer world’s magnitude. However, Noble Benefactor said that I would know as soon as I reach the Immortal Layer."


    Isabe dissatisfyingly uttered, "So pretentious..."


    Wasn’t it said that everything would be clear after she had cleared the trial?


    Why was it that people always liked to conceal a few things?


    Then, she btedly realized that hiding things from people will make them want to find more out of curiosity and that in itself was a motivating drive, a big impulse for her, and also the other candidates, to improve.


    This matter was something even her father used on her when she was little.


    On the other hand, Davis felt his horizons widen by arge margin. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the entity that sealed Fallen Heaven. Perhaps, that may be the true danger, but considering that it has lessened by a lot that he no longer felt danger, he didn’t know what to think.


    "What else do you know?" He came back to himself and asked.


    Isabe contemted for a moment before she moved her lips, "This is purely my spection after hearing the Earth Dragon Immortal’s words because it was not clear. It said that the world has be full of Transcendents that no one respects the Immortals anymore, and I think the word Transcendent means... a new cultivation path."


    "What...!?"


    Davis’s expression became a sight to see as his expression twisted.


    What was about this new term called Transcendent suddenly popping out of nowhere!?
