<h4>Chapter 1818: Stable Progress</h4>


    Before Davis headed out, he headed towards Niera’s cave and saw her cultivating in a cross-legged position. He contemted whether to wake her up and share theprehension cloud of the Ravaging Crimson Star Spirit when he suddenly saw her eyes quiver ever so lightly.


    “You know I’m here, don’t you?”


    Davis spoke, which caused Niera to shudder before she slowly opened one of her eyes as a blush appeared on her cheeks.


    “You’re so bad. Having Fiora sound like that…”


    Her lips moved and echoed an aggrieved voice, causing Davis to smile as he came to understand that she was afraid of being made to moan like that. Considering that she was still a virgin and had expectations as well as fears, he understood her emotions.


    “So you’re not cultivating?” He raised his brows.


    “It’s difficult to cultivate properly after hearing that…”


    Nierained, to which Davis couldn’t help butugh.


    “I’m sorry. It’s my fault that I am perverted enough to forget and only put up a barrier twenty minutester into the passionate-.”


    “AH! You don’t have to make me jealous, okay?”


    Niera screamed as she shook her head. On the other hand, Davis walked towards her before he knelt and reached out his hand to caress her cheek.


    “Niera, I haven’t been taking care of you properly…”


    Niera’s heart shook when she heard his gentle voice, not to mention that he was very close to her. She bit her lips, feeling the emotions she kept bottled up, swelling as her eyes became misty.


    “That’s not the case.” She rested her cheek on his warm palm as she smiled, “Who do you think got me this valuable spirit core that most of the humans on the other side haven’t even seen them yet?”


    She disyed her small fist before she opened it, revealing the dull orange octahedral-shaped crystal spirit core.


    However, Davis shook his head.


    “I’m talking about the time you could spend with me alone. You don’t have to console me, and I know you feel lonely sometimes and ept that it as it is.”


    Niera became bbergasted. A momentter, she couldn’t help but nod.


    “Yes…”


    “It’s my fault.”


    Davis honestly epted as he closed his eyes in shame. However, looking at his expression, Niera melted.


    “It’s fine. I was the one who made the decision to seduce you that day.”


    Davis couldn’t help but scoff as he remembered that charade.


    “You’re forgetting that I basically manipted all of you.”


    “But the decisions we made were by ourselves. You merely set the situation. How can it be your fault alone?”


    Niera argued, causing Davis to be dumbfounded.


    “Niera, howe you are not spoiled but understanding? You lived like a princess…”


    “My mother didn’t spoil me but instilled me with certain values, like to understand what a man does, why he does it, and to cater to his needs ordingly as a wife while although my father and grandfather spoiled me, they taught me prudence and cautiousness, especially to disy them towards the opposite gender.”


    Looking at Niera appear proud of her origin, Davis smiled in a teasing manner.


    “Howe you weren’t cautious of me back then?”


    “Do I need to answer?”


    Niera’s blush became more apparent as she looked embarrassed.


    “Love truly blinds…”


    Davis uttered with a wide smile before he leaned and took her lips. The soft engagement of their lips sprouted numerous emotions of content in Niera while Davis felt that she still loved him.


    Itsted for half a minute, but it became more than enough for Niera to look at him with passionate eyes. It was of little doubt to Davis that she would agree to lose her innocence today if he was just forceful a bit. But instead, he caressed her silky blond hair and pulled her head towards him as their foreheads intimately touched.


    Niera felt at ease andfort to be treated this way, but she instantly felt something gaseous enter her soul sea, and when her soul sense touched it, she instantly beganprehending Fire Laws for Soul Forging Cultivation. She had heard about this before from others, so she wasn’t startled but was still astonished by this miraculous phenomenon.


    Davis spent some time like this as he helped herprehend. After all, he had to refine it for them because theprehension was too strong at their current level.


    Unlikeprehending actively, the refined gas ofprehension clouds helped imbue or inject solid insights into oneself. All the beneficiary has to do is ept or reject the nature of theprehension, making it extremely efficient and faster. However, selectively gaining insights was different from passiveprehension, which could only beprehended and solidified into their ownws by the one receiving these solid insights.


    Fiora’sprehension of Light Laws in terms of Soul Forging Cultivation reached the highest she could possiblyprehend with her current Peak-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivation, and that’s Level Three Intent.


    As for Niera, she reached Level Six Fire Intent from practically nothing in Soul Forging Cultivation as she recently entered Mid-Level Mature Soul Stage before entering High-Level Mature Soul Stage due to the fire-attribute immacte spirit core she possessed.


    Iesha had reached the Seventh Stage in body cultivation while Zestria also made a breakthrough, bing a Soul Queen. Thetter’s Supreme Soul Stage cultivation was strengthened by swallowing the Supreme Stargaze Radiance Pill, which sessfully enhanced her prowess to three levels. When Zestria subsequently made her breakthrough using the spirit cores she obtained earlier, she broke into the King Soul Stage and her prowess lowered by two levels, which meant she could battle a level higher.


    This was the disparity between stages and the levels in those stages, so nothing could be done. However, she consumed a Stargaze King Radiance Pill, which enhanced her prowess by one more level, making her prowess reach High-Level King Soul Stage when she was still in Low-Level King Soul Stage.


    Unfortunately, she didn’t find an immacte spirit core like the two others, so she had to wrap it up and continue with her other cultivation systems.


    Tina Roxley fared better with refining three types of spirit cores. Fire attribute, earth attribute, and metal attribute spirit cores. The Earth Spirits were also with the powerful metal spirit he killed, but only two of them were there. Nevertheless, that was more than enough for Tina Roxley toprehend insights into those threews that she was able to use simultaneously without any trouble.


    Her progress really did speak volumes as she was able to reach High-Level Elder Soul Stage from Low-Level andprehend Level Three Fire Intent, Level Three Earth Intent, and Level Three Metal Intent. Her progress was so mind-boggling to Davis that he felt like her soul was really adapting to these three energies well than he expected.


    Perhaps, her soul would finally mutate when it reaches a certain level? He didn’t know and could only wait and see.


    Nheless, all of their progress caused him immense satisfaction as it made him feel that he was building his little empire step by step.


    Before leaving, he didn’t forget to give the vines’ nectar to Fiora, Niera, and Tina Roxley. The volume of the nectar was dwindling, but he certainly felt that it was being put to good use instead of being locked in a corner.


    With all things said, he assumed that his adventure in the Spirit Lands was over and brought them back to the Purple Guest Pce.


    There, he had a brief interaction with others and came to affirm the fact that the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition was going to start in two weeks. He merely smiled, looking forward to that day before asking about Evelynn’s experience.


    Unfortunately, Evelynn didn’t find anything while roaming in the Poison Rift Valley. However, she did say that it made for a vast adventure of surveying through unexplored rifts, encountering natural and environmental danger, and sometimes even humans who transformed into mindless feys and other unexinable entities, which had Davis and everyone else reeling in a dream of adventuring together with her but still, Daviscked time to be doing something that didn’t benefit him.


    After interacting with his two baby mothers, Shirley and Isabe, for some time, and allocated newfound resources to Sophie in addition to rewarding Yotan the remaining pill, he returned to the Spirit Lands and headed towards the inheritance location after activating his karmic prowess, following the trail of the peculiar thread that connected the Inmed Kirin Cherry Fruit to the opposite end.
