Davis and Myria stared at each other before the latter sighed and looked away.
"I'll have more understanding of the region with my knowledge."
Davis clenched his teeth.
Indeed, he felt that it would be more efficient if Myria soulscoured these people.
"Fine. Have it your way- no. Who knows what kind of experiences this trash has gone through? I'm not letting you peek through their memories."
Davis was almost convinced before he relented, causing Myria to look back at him.
"If it's my mind you're worried about, then it was clouded long ago when I started soulscouring people in order to survive. Such things don't faze me anymore."
"Even if you are experienced, there's no way it wouldn't bother."
Davis shook his head, knowing the atrocities and horrifying hidden crimes committed by cultivators, even the young ones.
When people possessed freedom through prowess and status, their hidden activities knew no bounds. He had soulscoured so many people, and although it was possible to not include these disgusting memories, just catching a glimpse of them would allow one to feel intense disgust stemming from the depths of their stomach, almost causing them to throw up.
Even now, he still hated looking past them, so what about Myria, who was pure at heart?
He didn't want her to face those emotions needlessly but-
"But more importantly, it does bother me, alright? You… don't have to look into another man's mind anymore. Let me take care of scavenging trash unless you absolutely need to."
"…"
Looking at Davis remain firm while even stating himself as a reason to placate her pride, Myria's gaze exuded a strange gleam as she looked away. To Davis, it looked like a flower wilting in sorrow, causing him to want to ask what was wrong when he suddenly heard her words.
"I won't take it off."
"Your dress?"
"Bastard! I'll kill you…!"
Myria turned around and glared at him.
"I understand. I understand. Smile. Have some humor."
Although he looked sorry, Davis chuckled.
He knew what she meant. It was about the memory seal she put on him using her true soul essence, but he could also feel that Myria's tolerance to his teasing was truly high when she would've practically attacked him it was before.
Although he didn't understand why she still refused to remove the seal, he could feel that there wasn't any ill intent behind it.
Appearing to be able to no longer deal with him, Myria dropped the light cage and left, returning to Bing Luli, who had a wry smile behind her veil.
Even she could tell that they were… very close.
But as she looked at him, she looked away in a second, appearing to scout the place with her soul sense.
At the same time, the two men present in their group, Niel Bladeheart and Garoe Rynn, came to know that Fairy Myria was truly off-limits, not that the former cared as he had the Frostcloud Sword Empress in his heart.
Soon enough, Davis began to use Mind Sea Extraction Mirage on the alchemist first, causing his eyes to roll back.
There was a great amount of resistance, but once Davis broke through that easily, he arrived in a soul sea that looked similar to every immortal cultivator, but the structure of the soul essence carrying the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls were completely different, appearing to take the shape of a wheel spinning like the yin and yang wheel.
However, it was still similar to a sphere, allowing him to enter by following its flow without interrupting it and throwing his soul force like a fish net, allowing him to retrieve the remembrances of the alchemist.
*Poatt~*
One of the alchemist's eyes exploded, causing blood to sink in copious amounts.
"Failure…"
Davis pursed his lips, expecting it but not expecting it to happen. He felt like Myria would jeer at him, but there were no words, allowing him to focus again as he began to heal the alchemist youth's seven physical souls that seemed to have been injured heavily.
Naturally, the alchemist turned retarded, but some time later, he regained himself and raised his eyes over to look at Davis's cold sapphire eyes.
His eyes rolled again, feeling nauseous and other terrified emotions that made him want to return to his mother's embrace.
Davis could naturally feel this through his Heart Intent. However, he continued to be unmerciful.
"…"
Lea and the others watched Davis torture a person. Their gazes didn't flicker at all, knowing that they were doing this for their own survival and couldn't afford to be sympathetic to the plight of others, even the ones who had done no wrong to them.
"I don't know what happened between the two of you but even third sister Isabella admitted that there isn't any woman whom he pursued this fiercely other than you..."
Myria's expression flickered as she turned to look at Lea appear beside her with her prisoner knocked out.
"Little girl, watch your mouth."
Lea looked at Myria, appearing shocked, but the next moment, her face had a relieved smile filled with delight.
"Little girl…? I'm honored to hear that."
"…"
Myria blinked but turned to look away.
Tina had just appeared between them, trying to stop them before their conversation could evolve into a fight but looking at Lea melt, she understood she must've been really conscious of her age. After all, compared to her sisters, Lea's age was quite high.
Regardless, Tina turned to look at Myria.
"Master, you've been of great help to me. I want to thank you again."
"I'm not your master."
Myria responded indifferently, causing Tina's smile to widen.
"You taught me many things and also through Ellia, enough to allow me to call you master for a lifetime. But I'd like to also say that with you here, we feel more at ease. Please take care of us, teacher."
Myria glanced at Tina, watching her eyes before moving her gaze away.
"Well, considering that you're Ellia's sisters, don't worry…"
"Many thanks~"
Tina appeared overjoyed before looking at Davis in a delighted mood.
For some reason, Myria was always good to her, allowing her to enjoy high-quality knowledge of pill arts through Ellia. However, it was not exclusive as Dalila also enjoyed those privileges, but the most important thing was she personally took care of the completion of her Four Elements Physique, allowing her to finally become healthy.
Even Ellia confessed that the only way she could quickly concoct a pill to treat her physique's ailment and consolidate it was thanks to Myria guiding her.
After repeated tries, Davis gained some memories, but most of them were scrambled. But since he focused on a few remembrances containing information about this world, he came to understand one thing.
He still didn't understand the purpose of coming here for these people, but this information blew his mind, causing his lips to part as he turned to look at Myria.
The true immortal world being vast… was an understatement.
He couldn't help but feel that it was apt when it was named the Three-Layered Universe, as each layer consisted of realms that had floating continents in the far stretches of space. No, due to their sheer size, they couldn't even be called massive continents but just an entire world.
He also learned in which realm he was, wanting to ask what kind of dangers this realm possessed.
"…"
However, he suddenly turned his gaze toward a woman who seemed to be committing a robbery.
"Stop right there, you little thief."
"…!"
Vereina jumped as she turned to look at Davis like a cat. She was beside the dead body of the man whom Nadia killed, absorbing his soul essence to fuel her own cultivation.
Her cheeks turned red in shame. After all, she didn't expect that she would be caught because who under the heavens could sense her plundering soul essences when she was this close to a fresh corpse?
'Actually, would they even consider that stealing when none of them could make use of it without having a unique artifact or something!?' She couldn't help but inwardly roar.
