The Story Never Ends

Chapter 158 - Clearing The Scene

"This is the place." Davion jumped out from the lotus with a child in his hand. Yes, it was the same child who had saved his life. He was thinking of leaving him on that island, but he felt some pity for him. After all, the child was alone there and was born due to some mishaps. Not only that, he even saved his life.

He went towards the hole where he had kept his physical body and dropped him to the ground. He then entered his body and stood up.

"I feel normal, at last," He smiled as he always felt something missing and strange in his soul form. Next, he changed into a new set of robes as he was naked currently due to his devil form.

Afterward, he gazed at Leyla who was on the ground, and thought, "She still hasn't woken up. It looks like I have to wait here for a while."

"Now, let's just clear up the scene ahead for the time being." In a hurry, he had left the battle scene as it was. So, it was time for him to reap the benefits.

He proceeded there and saw many spirit rings lying everywhere. He released his aura and grabbed them all with it. They flew into his hands, and he began checking them one by one.

He found many spirit stones, Qi refining pills, talismans, and middle-grade artifacts here. There were especially varieties of flying artifacts here. Just thinking about how much he could earn from them made him overjoyed.

"But I cannot exchange them openly in the sect. I have to think of some other ways." Moreover, he knew that the sect had a way of tracking these rings. So, wouldn't he get blamed upon and investigated?

Thus, to be safe, he put their contents into his spirit ring, and he threw away those rings.

"Phew, I should be good now." He sighed in relief and finally set his sights on two objects in his hands. One was a strange cube and the other was a heavy ring that was similar to the one he was wearing.

"This cube is definitely the second puppet that Nora had used before her death. I had seen it transforming back when she died." He remembered that incident clearly.

"As for the ring, it should be hers too." Davion was sure of it as she was the only one with a strong background to have the possibility to possess it.

"The puppet.." he infused his spiritual energy into the cube, and some information about it was poured into his mind.

"So, it's like this. Seems to be overpowered," He muttered. The puppet didn't require one to refine it and they had to only store their spiritual energy into it. That's why Nora was able to use it. Didn't this mean that anybody with this treasure could handle a Nascent Soul Cultivator?

He shook his head and went through the ring next. He became shocked with the space inside as it was twice as large as his ring.

"Haiz, but I can't bring it back." He was quite disappointed thinking about it. Nonetheless, he became happy immediately after looking at what was inside.

Similar to those rings, there were a vast amount of spirit stones, pills, and artifacts. However, there were two additional jade stones inside it. One was black while the other was white.

He took them out and went through them.

"My God! They are spiritual arts," he exclaimed and couldn't believe it.

"The Demon Beast Connection Art and The Hawk's Eye Art"

Both of these arts were recorded in his panel too.

"I'm really lucky." He had obtained a total of three spiritual arts in the secret realm.

"I should learn them after returning." He made up his mind and threw that ring too. Afterward, he rushed in a certain direction.

A few minutes later, he was on land that looked unusual like that island. There were tall trees, beautiful grasses, and flowers. Especially in the middle was a huge female face made from stones. Indeed, this was the place where the giant had fallen.

"Hehe, how could I leave this behind?" he gazed at the flower hanging on the forehead of that woman.

When he was about to reach there, he sensed some disturbances coming from his right. So, he used his Mind-Eye and found what it was.

"This…" his expression changed, and he went there straight away.

He saw a heavily injured huge bird lying on the ground. Not only was it hurt, but heavy rocks were pinning it to the ground making it impossible to move. Davion recognized who it was at once after seeing the dark red body and golden beak, feet, and wings.

"It is Nora's mount. The Giant was really cold-hearted to leave it like this." Davion thought.

Hearing some footsteps, the bird also looked in that direction and saw a human approaching it. It also recognized him as it had seen him near the mission hall on the inner court disciple's peak. He was behind the human who had attacked its master.

"Screech.."

So, it produced threatening noises and began shaking. But it couldn't move and could only gaze at him fiercely.

"Why did it act like this?" Davion didn't understand it.

"I think it knows about the death of Nora." He could only put it this way.

While he was thinking, the bird suddenly fired flames from his mouth. However, it was too weak infront of him.

He simply stood in his place, and nothing happened. The bird panicked when it saw this and remembered how the Giant had attacked. As a result, it used much more energy and tried to get rid of the rocks above its body. It wanted to escape badly.

"Haha, let me help you." Davion punched ahead and a tremendous shockwave was released from his fist.

"Bang"

All the rocks turned into dust and the bird was freed. Taking this opportunity, it flew straight to the sky. But in a couple of seconds, it fell down to the ground. It seemed like its injuries were quite serious as blood could be seen dripping down from its body.

"You can't fly," Davion said when he reached close to him.

The bird didn't respond to him but rather dragged its body away from him.

"I was thinking of killing it for experience points. But it looks very pitiable. I won't get enough experience points from it either." After reaching level 30, only someone at the Nascent Soul Stage could provide him with adequate points. So, he decided to let it live.

"Take these pills." Since he had a large amount of such healing pills, he threw some of them towards it.

The bird didn't dare to eat it. Who knew whether it was good or not?

"Do whatever you want." Davion didn't bother what would happen to it and left. Its fate depended on itself.

"I can feel the ancient energy which is similar to the bald man here." Davion was standing infront of the woman's face and observing it with curiosity. Seeing the soul of the giant previously, he had become sure that the giant must have been petrified into stone instead of being formed from it.

"This stone should also be a giant. But a female one." He touched on its surface and felt some force trying to reject him from doing so. But with his current strength, he didn't have to care about it.

"What actually is this secret realm? Who made it? Why were the giants trapped here? For what purpose…" he became confused as there were many mysteries surrounding it.

"Even Elder Liliana didn't know anything about it." He wanted to know these answers. How could one have no questions after seeing all this?

"Let's forget about it. Maybe I might know in the future." He let it go for now and plucked the flower from the forehead. He immediately felt a cold sensation in his hands.

"Good treasure. The quality is not inferior to the ones I had collected from the island." Davion smiled and put it into his spirit ring.

"Now, I'm sure I have cleaned up everything." He looked at his surroundings properly and made sure it was finished. Then only he returned back.

But he didn't notice that the moment he left, the woman's face crumbled and fell to the ground. In addition, the beautiful land expanded.

***

"Where am I?" Leyla, who was unconscious, finally woke up. She gazed around her and found herself inside a hole from where she could see the sky above.

"The only thing I remember is Olivia." She racked her brains and went through her memories.

She became frightened when recalling them.

"Where is Davion too?" She didn't see him here. Thus, she stood up and was about to leave in search of him when she sensed some movement coming from her side.

She glanced there and saw a strange child gazing at her with tearful eyes.

"Mother!!"
