Divine Emperor of Death

"Well, considering that you have seemed to have tamed a King-Tier Magical Beast, I can understand why you don't want to kneel to me on all fours like the original inheritor, zeze~"  The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal laughed.

Davis awkwardly smiled, not really commenting on anything as he just kept his mouth shut, a bit careful that he might offend it with his audacious mouth. Nevertheless, he felt that he had lucked out on obtaining this cultivation manual.

Direct transmission of information to one's mind is something that only Immortals can do, as far as Davis knew. It was different than using soul force to convey thoughts. Nevertheless, he was aware that the etched information on his mind was none other than an Immortal Grade Cultivation Manual that was only awarded to the trialist who had passed the inheritance.

Unlike the Earth Dragon Immortal, which had taken a righteous yet stuck-up attitude, this Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal seemed carefree and passive. It didn't seem to care about him much as it didn't even bother to survey him with its soul sense but looked at him as if it were enjoying things.

When he thought about it, who would give the same inheritance to another person who had already inherited it? Wasn't that like having him and the original inheritor fight for the resources that they must get in order to improve their cultivation? But he also thought that he was looking far into it as it might be possible for a more consolidated world to exist and support both of their growths.

"Kid, I did what I can, but whether if you truly have fate with our Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal Clan is yet to be seen unless you first ascend after becoming an Immortal. I hope you can clear the struggles you will come to face in this world and make it to the other side, as it would be nothing more than a gain for both of us."

"Other side? Can Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal tell me what it is?" Davis finally opened his mouth, wanting to know more about this world.

"Zeze~ I can't say it no one other than the inheritor according to the pact I exchanged, or I would be dead before I even know it if I were to reveal it to you but don't be disappointed. As long as you ascend, you will come to know a lot as long as you don't quickly die."

Davis blinked as a lot of thoughts ran in his mind. He slightly bowed once again, "I have nothing else to offer other than my gratitude. Perhaps, if we meet again after I ascend, I can do a favor or two..."

"Zzezeze!~" The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal laughed, "Just a Law Manifestation Stage brat, and you're already talking about returning the favor? I can understand why a stubborn and prideful King-Tier Magical Beast would care about you so much that she looks like she fell in love with you!"

Davis became a bit flabbergasted at its speech while Nadia's eyes flickered as she shyly moved her head away. He couldn't help but think that the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal was carefree, alright.

"Oh? I was right?" The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal chuckled, "Nevertheless, you do not have my blood in you to comprehend my lightning and flames nor do I have it, so it would be difficult for you to achieve immortality with it, so keep that in mind; when you switch your cultivation manual."

"I wanted to ask about that as well...'" Davis suddenly echoed, "My meridians and my lower dantian are completely tempered by extinction lightning and has adapted to it, perhaps the latter even mutated, so how can I train and use fire-attribute energy?"

"Mhm? Is that so? Let me check your meridians and dantian..."

As it said, Davis naturally did not resist. Its soul sense swept over him, but he didn't feel a thing, not making him know if it checked him or not.

"What the... Your flesh is strong, and your soul is vigorous. You are at the Martial Master Stage and Supreme Soul Stage! Furthermore, this aura... your blood contains the blood essence of a dragon!?

Davis pursed his lips as he slowly began to retreat, "Did I forget to say that?"

"Sigh, kid. You can't escape from me as one; this whole region is under my control. Two, my attack range covers this entire space but don't worry, I'm not aversed if you're an inheritor of some other Immortal Inheritance."

Davis became astonished at its answer. He considered if it were lying to him before he felt that it should not be the case if what it said about being able to attack this entire region was true.

He stopped retreating and shook his head, "I am not an Inheritor, just a trialist who passed the Emperor Grade Trial."

"I see, zeze~" The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal chuckled, "It doesn't matter as I'm saying that it's fine. Just don't forget that you owe us in the future, even if you owe the other inheritance master in the future."

"I owe that master nothing since I was refused, but sure, I'll keep your words in mind."

"Refused? Well, whatever... Now, where were we before? Ah, yes..." The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal spoke to itself before its black and crimson eyes blinked, "I can see that your lightning, meridians, and dantian are affixed with the property of extinction lightning. That is something not easily comprehendible by a human, but the fact that you got this far with a solid foundation speaks volumes of your intelligence and capability."

"Fortunately, the lightning of my kind is destructive and overbearing, extremely similar to the laws of extinction lightning you have learned, so it should be possible for you to practice it with your current laws without noticing a problem, but as for the fire of my kind, if you use it, I'm afraid that you would injure yourself, especially your meridian and dantian."

"Yes, I'm aware of that as I've tried myself to a negligible degree..." Davis answered, "What I want to know is how I can change my revolving core's natural lightning potential to support both lightning and fire energies as a normal, untainted revolving core can do but with more power, energy, and efficiency."

"Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal," He awkwardly smiled, "I don't want to lose my current Essence Gathering Cultivation prowess and my Superior Law Manifestation, so I hope to hear a positive remedy or conclusion to this problem of mine."

"Too difficult..." The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal replied as it lightly shook his head, "The easiest yet the toughest way is to abandon your current progress and begin from the very beginning. It would only take less than a decade, but to a budding yet strange youth such as yourself, it is something you could not afford to do, I see."

Davis's eyes narrowed as it reacted to that 'strange' word and mused that it knew about the discrepancy in his soul, but he did not comment on it and continued to listen.

"Then again, without my blood essence to aid you, you will find it difficult to temper your meridians and dantian to an extreme degree to adapt to fire and lightning energy like you have tempered your meridians and dantian now to exclusively adapt to your lightning energy, so the only remaining way I can think of is for you to forcefully convert your revolving core to also adapt to fire laws using some heavenly resources such as the Infernal Core Flame Leaf or the Pyrokise Liquid Fruit."

"What kind of resources are these...?" Davis uttered with a bit of helplessness.

Where could he possibly find these heavenly resources? The only destination he could think of was the Burning Phoenix Ridge for now.

"You will know when you find them. The heavenly resources I mentioned are definitely something you can find in this world. Furthermore, they are only at the Peak-Level King Grade, enough for you to cause your revolving core to experience a change towards the fire-attribute."

"However, once you start to do something like that, it would be unknown what kind of variation your revolving core will experience since you already have a variation revolving core, so you must be prepared to die a gruesome death in the worst-case scenario where your revolving core explodes from not being able to endure the change."

Davis's expression trembled from its warning. With his current knowledge, he already foresaw such an ending even though he didn't know much, and that was why he didn't carelessly want to step into this mess. Maybe his life-like energy could help him rebuild the revolving core just like how it helped Edgar Alstreim easily get his Essence Gathering Cultivation back. However, if the energy released was enough to kill him when it exploded, he wouldn't know if he should heal or stay dead because he wouldn't be there to even choose.

"Is there no other way?" He couldn't help but ask with a bit of hope.

"Kid, the entire inheritance was rightfully taken away, so I truly do not have a drop of blood essence to grant you, nor do I have enough soul force as you would say to grant you a bit of my soul essence."

The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal uttered as it shook its head, but it suddenly showed its razor-sharp teeth as it smiled.

"Now that I checked your dantian, I have become convinced. I'll recommend that you do train in the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Firestorm World Ode instead of giving up on it. However, you do not need to use fire energy or convert your revolving core for it as I presume that your lightning alone would be stronger than even the original inheritor."

Davis, who was feeling depressed, had his attention peak as his eyes widened!

"What does esteemed Immortal mean?"

"That mutated revolving core..." The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal cast Davis an unexpected look of astonishment, "Once you form a Perfect Domain and create an Immeasurable Sea and condense all of it into a rune, it will finally show its power where you would be able to massively help you in creating a Supreme Immortal Rune."

"Wha-!? Immortal... Rune!?"

Davis's sapphire eyes flickered with both excitement and disbelief that he practically bellowed out of his mouth!
