Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-10

"I'm sorry Davis, but you will have to rely on your comprehension to learn how to cultivate your soul without reaching Revolving Core Realm." Claire said with a helpless expression.

"I understand Mom." Davis understood that it is impossible for almost all people to sense the soul without any cultivation.

"Mom, I want Nascent Soul Stage Soul Cultivation Techniques of our family now" Davis had an idea.

"Davis, you aren't allowed to cultivate until you're 5 years old." Claire warned.

"I know Mom, I just want to learn it to find a way to cultivate without reaching the Revolving Core Stage, I promise that I won't cultivate until I'm 5 years old."

"Sigh, I'll talk to Dad about it." Claire agreed.

"Then, I'll come play with Clara afterwards." Davis said excitedly.

"Of course, Clara likes you more than me, what tricks did you play on her." Claire asked with an expression full of fake anger.

"Secret." Davis smirked and ran away.

[6 months later]

After gaining permission from his Dad, to learn about Soul Cultivation Techniques. Davis worked hard to find a way to cultivate the soul. Logan personally started to teach him about all 3 types of cultivation. After 6 months, he firmly grasped on how to cultivate normally when one reaches Revolving Core Stage. But he couldn't fathom on how to cultivate without reaching it. In fact, it was a miracle that he achieved Nascent Soul Stage without cultivating in a certain Soul Tempering Technique.

Since Davis couldn't find a way to cultivate, he tried asking various persons in a roundabout way.

"Good day, Prince." The Librarian greeted Davis.

"Good day, Mister Oxford."

Mister Oxford was the Librarian of the Royal Castle. He was almost 6 feet tall, with a suave and gentlemanly face. But he was quite old around 50 years.

"Our Prince is so studious, our Empire will surely be stable and powerful in the years to come." Oxford complimented.

"Thank you, Mister Oxford, can I ask you a question?"

"The Prince has a question for me? I will try to answer my best."

"What stage are you in cultivation?" He asked with curious expression in his face.

"Oh me? I'm in the Revolving Core Stage. It doesn't compare to your genius father who has achieved Law Seed Stage recently just before the rebellion ended."

"Really? Father has achieved Law Seed Stage!?" Davis was astonished.

Davis finished reading about the basics of cultivation, so he knew a thing or two about Cultivation Stages.

"Yes!"

The Law Seed Stage was the fifth step in Essence Gathering Cultivation. It is difficult to attain it without resources and comprehension. Only the top powers of the continent have a powerhouse of the Law Seed Stage. Logan's father was originally a Law Seed Stage expert but he died, triggering the start of the rebellion.

"Then what about my father's Soul Cultivation?"

"Oh oh, aren't you in a hurry to learn about your father."

"Your father is at the peak of the Young Soul Stage, the third step of Soul Cultivation. Meanwhile I am only at the peak of Nascent Soul Stage." Oxford sighed.

"Only the third step? And Mister Oxford only reached the peak of the first step?" Davis was shocked at their slow speed in Soul Cultivation. The Young Soul Stage is the third step of Soul Cultivation.

"Oh oh, it isn't easy to cultivate the soul, you need plenty of resources that tempers and refines your soul. Without them you can only slowly progress at a snail's pace. Training in soul? It is very difficult." Oxford lamented that he couldn't cultivate his soul quickly.

"I see, then I'll see you around." Davis kept nodding his head and took his leave.

Davis walked absentmindedly, thinking of a solution to the problem that he is currently facing. No matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a solution with his current knowledge.

'Forget it, I'll eventually find a way to temper my soul.' Davis gave up temporarily and went to play with his mother and sister.

Clara is now able to form 3 to 4 words of sentences. Davis always plays with his sister and finally makes her cry accidentally which makes Claire, to slap his butt out of this world.

…...

[8 months later]

Davis reached his 5th birthday and finally earned the right to cultivate. He learned more about all 3 Cultivation Systems and got the Cultivation Techniques of all 3 of them 6 months before. The 3 Cultivation Techniques he got are all of Sky Grade manuals. Sky Grade manuals are reserved only for the Royal Family and those who achieve top accomplishments. Sky Grade Cultivation Techniques aren't easily available in this continent. No mid-level auctions even dare to sell one in their place, at most only the higher tier powers will dare to sell them.

The Cultivation Techniques he chose with the help of his Father and Mother, were named, Tyrant Body Secrets, Extinction Lightning Judgement and Sacred Luminance Mist.

Tyrant Body Secrets is a Mid Level Sky Grade Manual, it is a Body Tempering Cultivation Technique. It has 5 Layers in it.

Extinction Lightning Judgement is also a Mid Level Sky Grade Manual, it is an Essence Gathering Cultivation Technique. It also has 5 Layers.

Sacred Luminance Mist is a Mid Level Sky Grade Manual, it is a Soul Tempering Cultivation Technique, and it also has 5 Layers in it.

No top power in this continent has a Sky Grade Soul Cultivation Technique publically, only the Loret Empire holds monopoly over it. Loret Empire has 3 Sky Grade Soul Cultivation Techniques, two Low Level and one Mid Level Techniques.

Each Layer in the Cultivation Technique can be unlocked only by advancing to the next stage of cultivation.

After getting the Cultivation Techniques, his father tutored him about all 3 Cultivation Techniques, increasing his knowledge up to second stage of all 3 Cultivation Systems.

"Father, I still haven't gotten an idea on how to cultivate the soul sooner." Davis was depressed.

"Don't sweat it, you still are a 5 year old child, you have plenty of opportunities to try some ideas in the future."

"But.."

"No buts, you can concentrate on the other two Cultivation Systems for now." Hmm?" Logan noticed something and started leaving.

"Eh? Father? Where are you going?"

"It's time for me to breakthrough!" Logan said excitedly.
