Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 230

Chapter 230
Even so, he didn't daydream and forgot to ask about another doubt in his mind .
"How did they poison you exactly?"
Old Man Garvin lifted up his chin, "The poison was colorless and odorless, it simply didn't give off any scent . I only caught on to it as soon as I realized that something was wrong within my Dantian . "
"But by the time as soon as I evacuated my family away from the place, they mounted their sneak attack, managing to destroy my fleshy body . Heh, now that I think about it, the fact that I managed to escape with purely my soul body is a miracle in itself . . . "
Davis narrowed his eyes, "Did you find out how you were poisoned?"
"I had prepared many resources to consume and refine at that time, so I simply couldn't find out which one of the resources poisoned me . Now, it's not important since I managed to find the ones who were behind it . . . "
Davis clicked his tongue before hesitating a little bit, thinking if he should pose this question or not .
"Sigh, you want to ask whether if it were my wife or concubines who had poisoned me, right?" Old Man Garvin slowly said .
Davis blinked, then nodded his head .
"That is simply impossible because they have no means to betray me since they have signed a Blood Soul Contract with me just like you . "
"What!? You forced them to marry you?" Davis's expression turned incredulous .
Old Man Garvin merely chuckled and shook his head, "Forced?! I don't think so . . . Since they wanted to marry me through various means, I merely presented them with an opportunity to do so . Those who accepted became my woman, and those who didn't, carried on with their lives . "
"Still, you don't need to sign a Blood Soul Contract, right?" Davis half-heartedly asked .
"Kid, don't tell me . . . Ah, right . You're still a child, how would you know?" Old Man Garvin nodded as if he understood .
"Listen, people with high statuses such as me can use blood soul contracts to marry and reproduce offsprings . As for the contents of the contract, it will depend on the persons involved in it, just like how we were able to negotiate our terms . "
"Blood Soul Contracts are highly used in marriages because you don't need to worry about the other party betraying you for any reasons unless they are tired of living their lives . "
Davis blinked again as his expression turned a little bit curious, "How are these Blood Soul Contracts made? It seems fascinating . . . "
Old Man Garvin laughed but didn't hide anything, "Kid, you need to hire a Vow Master to make one for you, or cultivate your soul to King Soul Stage and make one for yourself after learning Level One Karma Intent . "
"Karma? Is that one of the Greater Laws you mentioned before?" Davis asked with an excited expression on his face .
Karma, Space and Time . All three of them were Greater Laws .
Old Man Garvin did explain to him about the classification of laws, even explaining many miscellaneous topics along in these three years .
"Yes . . . However . . . "
Garvin trembled slightly and froze, his transparent body flickered as if it was a fading beacon .
"What's wrong?" Davis narrowed his brows as he turned solemn .
A gentle smile appeared on Old Man Garvin's face as he shook his head, "Regrettably, it's time . Thank you young Davis, for accompanying this old man in his last moments . . . "
The next moment, Old Man Garvin slowly and silently disappeared out of existence .
Davis was startled for a few seconds before he finally realized what had happened, 'He's dead . . . '
It was as if his brain stopped working for a short moment because it was the first time the Old Man called him Davis .
Old Man Garvin's death was not so impactful to him but still, a complicated expression appeared on his face .
'No wonder he was talkative . He knew he was going to die today . . . '
Old Man Garvin mostly spent his time in the underground lake, probably intent on extending his waning lifespan .
But sadly, his end still came . Davis felt pity and sadness .
Sad that he wouldn't be able to see this old man again and pity that the old man didn't teach him about King Soul Stage or even more things .
'Guess I'm asking for a little too much . . . ' Old man Garvin simply didn't have much time left and was like a moth attracted to a flame, with death imminent, hanging above his head any time .
In fact, he was surprised that Old Man managed to last two more years but he knew that it was thanks to the underground lake which Old Man Garvin visited all the time when he wasn't around to teach him .
"Fallen Heaven, think you can absorb his Soul Essence?"
"We've been here for long . . . Can't you see that he burned his Soul Essence to maintain his life till now?"
"I just wanted to confirm . . . " Davis nodded his head . He thought of absorbing Garvin Woller's Soul Essence but it really seemed that he wouldn't gain anything out of it since the other party seemed to have consumed their own Soul Essence .
"Do you want to absorb his spiritual soul essence? If so, he would not be able to reincarnate . . . "
Davis chuckled as he shook his head, "Let that poor chap reincarnate . . . "
His gaze simultaneously fell upon the Peak-Level Sky Grade Spatial Ring that was on Old Man Garvin's hands when was alive .
He bent down and took it as he checked . He then stored it into his spatial ring .
Inside it was numerous Pill Recipes at the Sky and King Grade . There were also some incomplete notes that had the comprehensions and the method to enter the Eighth Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation .
Other than the above two, there was Spirit Formation Scrolls which Old Man Garvin taught the basics for a few days before simply saying that he would prepare Spirit Formation Scrolls for him .
'Well, thanks for the pill recipes, spirit formation scrolls, and the incomplete comprehensions of King Soul Stage, Old Man Garvin . . . ' He shook his head as he smiled, his gaze moving to the door which Old Man Garvin always disappeared into .
He stood up and took a deep breath before slowly tuning up his emotions, 'Well, time to move on . . . Goodbye, Old Man Garvin . '
