The scroll in his hands was a cultivation manual that would eventually help him reach the Ninth Stage! Such a cultivation manual was one of the main rewards for clearing the Emperor Grade Trial!

Then if he had really had been given the entire Immortal Inheritance, wouldn't he have received an Immortal Grade Manual that would eventually help him achieve the Immortal Stage?

"!!!"

Instantly, Davis shook the greed out of his head. What didn't belong to him, wouldn't belong to him no matter how hard he tried.

He glanced at the scroll and started to read.

It took a minute for Davis to memorize the contents and nine minutes to understand it in its entirety till the Peak-Level Sky Grade Level.

It took him more than an hour to understand the contents of the King Grade Level although he only understood the circulation method.

Closing the scroll, he placed it aside.

"Did you completely memorize it?"

Davis nodded his head but then shook. He had some doubt, afraid that the Earth Dragon Immortal would burn the scroll.

He instantly kept the scroll in his spatial ring and looked warily at the image of the Earth Dragon Immortal in front of him.

"I learned till the King Grade, only the basics..."

"That level of comprehension is fine for now... You won't be needing the King Grade version anytime soon since you're only at the Peak of the Silver Stage."

A droplet of blood essence suddenly ejected out of a little hole that was on the surface of the circular diagram.

"This is my Blood Essence which contains Immortal Level Vitality. Although it is only a single drop, it is extremely potent and even lethal if you were to burn it to cast a single strike. It would undoubtedly be able to help you kill an Eighth Stage Cultivator at the very least!"

Davis's eyes shook. Such vitality for only a single drop of blood? He garnered that if he were to burn a single drop of his blood essence separately to attack even a Fifth Stage Expert, it wouldn't even do so much as a scratch.

'Maybe a single drop of my blood essence if used separately can kill a First Stage Expert...' He mused. After all, only by burning his own blood essence in his body would he be able to maximize its potential.

Evelynn had also absorbed the Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence but that single droplet was diluted.

He couldn't help but ask, "Earth Dragon Immortal, how many drops can this single drop of Blood Essence can be diluted into?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask?" The Earth Dragon Immortal asked, its tone doubtful.

"My wife absorbed a droplet of your diluted blood essence."

It calmly spoke, "The woman who cleared the Sky Grade Trial a while ago?"

Davis nodded his head.

The Earth Dragon went silent before it explained, "A drop of my Blood Essence equates to thirty drops of diluted Blood Essence."

"Those who cleared Sky Grade Trial will receive three drops of my diluted Blood Essence..."

"Wait! She only received one!" Davis shouted back as he interrupted it. He remembered how she told him that it was only a single drop of diluted blood essence that entered her body.

"That one single droplet I gave her contained three drops of diluted Blood Essence."

"Oh..." Davis nodded as he felt embarrassed. His instant reaction to its words told instantly revealed that he couldn't compromise when it came to Evelynn.

"What about the King Grade Trial then?"

"King Grade?" The Earth Dragon responded as if it was losing patience, "Those who clear the King Grade Trial will receive 15 drops of diluted Blood Essence!"

Davis finally understood.

So those who cleared Sky Grade Trial got 1/10th of a Blood Essence, while those who cleared King Grade Trial got 5/10th of a Blood Essence.

And he actually got three drops of Blood Essence since the rewards were like three times as much! If diluted, there were as much as 90 drops!

But he knew that the difference between a diluted one and a complete one contrasted the difference of heaven and earth.

"Circulate the Domineering Earth Dragon Arts I gave you and absorb the blood essence... don't resist..."

The blood essence floated towards him but Davis shouted, "Oye! Stop right there!"

"What? Don't tell me there are more doubts about me in you? I am truly giving you three times the treasures I promised..."

Davis shook his head, "It isn't about that. You didn't see my full prowess during the trial so you don't know but I have cultivated a physique known as Tyrant Physique..."

"Changing the cultivation method at my level will obviously cripple my Body Tempering Cultivation causing adverse effects for my other two cultivation systems..."

Davis continued while seeing it listening to him, "I heard that you helped my wife to effectively change her cultivation method?"

"Yes, she was just at the Iron Stage, so it was relatively easier to change her Cultivation Method..."

"That's right! I'm willing to change mine too so help me change my cultivation method to Domineering Earth Dragon Arts without causing any adverse effects in my body, is that alright?" Davis asked as he explained.

He wanted to make it clear that he wouldn't circulate the Domineering Earth Dragon Arts without any insurance to his cultivation.

"Hmm... Tyrant Body Physique you say?" The Earth Dragon went silent.

Davis increasingly felt nervous as moments passed by but even if he knew this would have happened, he would've still chosen to cultivate the Tyrant Body Physique in the beginning.

He knew that the only way to destroy his physique is to destroy his medians but that as expected will collapse his cultivation.

'This has turned into a difficult situation...'

If worst comes to shove, then he will have to practice a similar high-grade cultivation method in the future by searching for it out in the vast world.

"I've never heard of this physique before and considering your words, you must've cultivated it artificially so it'll be easier to remove it than removing a natural physique."

Once he heard that Davis heaved a sigh of relief but the next sentence he heard made him joyous.

"You don't need to cripple your cultivation base but this method will take a week at best... My Blood Essence is potent and domineering, so use that to forcibly remove the physique you cultivated... Remember, I told you three times the reward, and that means you will still get two more blood essences of mine to absorb."

Davis didn't say anything but nodded his head.

"If you meet with any obstructions or bottleneck with your cultivation, I will further help you... This is the best I can do..."...

The blood essence floated forward towards him again and flew into his forehead.

Davis circulated the Domineering Earth Dragon Arts and forcibly converted the battle aura in his meridians. His entire body started to tremble but he still kept it up while the circular diagram below him lit up.

======

Gradually, a week passed.

Davis sat as he continued cultivating for a week.

Suddenly, his bones and joints echoed cracking sounds, his eyes opened and a faint pressure erupted from him, even creating a ripple in the huge pound which was quite a distance away from him.

He stood up and clasped his hands as he bowed slightly, "Thank you for your assistance, Earth Dragon Immortal..."

The Earth Dragon's image shook, "Even though I can't measure your soul age, I can see that you've already reached the Sixth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation."

A token flew towards him from nowhere and fell into his hands.

"Go forth to the location the token points towards to exit this tiny space of the Second Layer."

"With this token in your hands, the spatial gateway to the other side should show itself..."

The image of the Earth Dragon which was present for a week, finally trembled as it disappeared.

Davis was stunned. He wanted to question many things.

Is that how Isabella went to the First Layer? No wonder other Sixth Stage Experts in ancient times weren't able to exit, because they didn't possess this token.

Does it know the creator of this space? The entity which actually sealed Fallen Heaven?

Besides, a tiny space of the Second Layer? Did that mean that there existed more spaces or continents in the Second Layer?

He had many questions but the Earth Dragon Immortal disappeared and besides, he felt it was not wise to ask such sensitive questions, especially when he didn't know its stance.

Davis put the token away and felt the immense vitality flowing in his flesh and blood.

He clenched and opened his palms, feeling the changes in his strength. He took a deep breath as he closed his eyes.

Even with his eyes closed and his Soul Sense inactive, he could still sense the faint outline of his surroundings up to a few kilometers, meaning he could still sense the visible surroundings even with his eyes closed.

Such a powerful cultivation method yet it didn't make him swear secrecy or prohibit him from sharing this cultivation manual to others.

Perhaps, since such a long time had passed, it no longer bothered about what happened in the world other than its descendants.

'Of course! Its descendants! Only by spreading a Cultivation Manual such as this could it possibly hope for a worthy successor to arrive in this space to inherit its Immortal Inheritance!'

He shook his head and opened his eyes again, his gaze attracted to the spirit stones at the left side and also the right side of the cave. At the front was where there was the cave behind the waterfall which he garnered that it hosted the Emperor Grade Treasury.

Davis smiled and headed towards the mountain of spirit stones.

He was going to be filthy rich once he came out!

======

In the tunnel of light that was flickering in the underground at this moment, a figure came out from it.

Davis looked at the seated figure in front of him but he was stunned.

The figure in front of him was none other than Evelynn!

Was she waiting here for him all week long?

"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you were waiting here for me the whole time?"

Evelynn was stunned as she saw him but she soon recovered as she shook her head.

She stood up and moved closer to him, "I used two days to recover completely and stabilize my foundation, then I waited for a day but you still didn't come out. So, I toured the Ruth Empire's Royal Capital for the next three days with Princess Isabella before coming here but you still weren't out."

"So you waited for a day again and I successfully came out?" Davis asked.

Evelynn smiled.

"Good... I would really feel bad if I made you wait for the whole week in front of this place..." Davis sighed as he said, fiddling her green hair with his fingers.

"As if you didn't make me wait for two more years from the initial time of our marriage date..." Evelynn coyly punched his chest.

Davis could only laugh and act like a fool in front of her because she was right. He did indeed make her wait for an extremely long time.

"Alright, alright, let's go back..." Davis said as he took a step forward, walking toward the tunnel that led to the hall above.

"Hmm..." Evelynn nodded and followed his back.

Once they arrived above the tunnel, they met up with a youth and informed the others of his return.

Instantly in a few minutes, the people who had yet to undergo the trial and Isabella arrived at the scene after Emperor Ruth had arrived.

It seems like they had been readily waiting for his return.

After Davis exchanged about his experience of challenging the 'Emperor Grade Trial', a figure arrived and listened in on Davis's experiences.

It was Idric Ruth, the person who had given Davis his opportunity.

Davis smiled at him after imparting his experience and instantly gave him the requested ten drops of blood, fulfilling his end of the deal.

Idric was all smiles despite knowing that Davis had cleared the Emperor Grade Trial.

He wasn't greedy and with an Emperor Grade Treasure, he knew that he would instead become a target instead.

Besides, he wouldn't be able to consume that treasure in at least a hundred years, which would essentially leave him in a blue-balled state.

In any case, he knew full and well that he couldn't hope to offend Davis in any way.

Even though he wasn't blue-balled, the others were even worse with regret. They began to think if they only had intellect such as their brother Idric, they would have also handed over their opportunities to Davis.

"Sigh..." Upon seeing their reactions, Emperor Ruth was utterly disappointed in his sons as only a sigh escaped from his mouth.
