Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1764: Sect Master's State

Chapter 1764: Sect Master's State

"So it was truly Sect Master Lea Weiss's heavenly tribulation..."
Davis walked forwards as he entered the wooden hut.
He stopped right in front of Sect Master Lea Weiss's bed and couldn't believe that she didn't ascend but failed. However, he confirmed that she was still breathing, albeit he couldn't find anything wrong with her state as it adopted a certain rhythm of sleep.
"Yes, little Lea wanted to try and forget you using the heavenly tribulation's Heart Demon Tribulation as an impetus. It's a pity that she cleared the eight strikes easily but was unable to clear the Heart Demon Tribulation, unable to remove you from her heart as she received the ninth lightning strike to her body and failed after the heavenly tribulation clouds eventually disappeared."
Ancestor Cornelia's voice sounded beside him, causing him to look at her.
"Is this why you had me follow here? Because of me?"
Ancestor Cornelia looked at his unamused expression and couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know how similar the heavenly tribulation is to the host of the Karmic Guardian Physique, but, for little Lea, little Shirley, and us phoenixes, the Heart Demon Tribulation will strike before the ninth heavenly lightning could descend."
"So before the ninth lightning could fall, which is the most powerful out of all out of the nine heavenly lightning strikes, one should clear their Heart Demon Tribulation and come out of their reverie to face the ninth heavenly lightning, or else, they would find themselves unknowingly struck by lightning and possibly die. However, due to the fact that little Lea was powerful after the ninth lighting strike fell on her, she merely escaped with an injury to her body, lower dantian, and her soul."
Davis stared at Ancestor Cornelia for a few seconds before he turned to look at the beautiful Lea Weiss, unveiled and defenseless.
"So she's in a coma now?"
Ancestor Cornelia nodded.
"Judging with my expertise as a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Apothecary, she'll wake up in two or three days."
Davis raised his brows in surprise as he didn't think that Ancestor Cornelia was an apothecary. However, considering that she lived for two hundred thousand years, which is an extremely long time, he didn't find this strange.
"However, to be an immortal again, very difficult..."
Ancestor Cornelia tiredly shook he head, her shoulders shaking as she seemed to have all lost all hope for the Burning Phoenix Ridge.
"Indeed, if one failed their heavenly tribulation, at best, they will have their bodies and dantians injured, or at worst, they would die without a body."
Davis seemed to agree as he nodded.
"Moreover, failing a heavenly tribulation but surviving with fewer injuries means one can try again." Davis nodded his head, "However, if they dare to try again, their heavenly tribulation will become a level higher, essentially destroying them to ashes unless they can overcome their previous straits and become more powerful than their upcoming heavenly tribulation."
"True... the fact that she was unable to overcome you means that her cultivation path has come to an end more or less. That's what it means to fail a Heart Demon Tribulation."
Ancestor Cornelia stared closely at him as if she wanted to devour him.
"However, if she has you..."
"Me?"
Davis raised his brows wide as he took a step back.
"Granny, you must be kidding. Sect Master Lea Weiss and I don't have any relationship or even an affair whatsoever. Heck, I guess that I have talked to you more than I talked to Sect Master Lea Weiss..."
"Do you love your based on how much time you spent with people?"
Ancestor Cornelia asked before Davis instantly shook his head.
"No, but it's certainly a factor..."
Hearing his answer, Ancestor Cornelia glanced at Sect Master Lea Weiss.
"I call her little Lea, but she has lived for five thousand and two hundred years already. Don't you think she had been alone long enough to inevitably fall in love with the man who obtained revenge for her?"
"I didn't do that for her. I did that for Shirley..."
Davis corrected, but the old woman shook her head.
"No matter the reason, you're still the person she fell in love with. The fact that she doesn't try to communicate that with you means she doesn't want to accept it either, especially when it's her disciple's husband she fell in love with, which is just purely humiliating for her, not to mention disgraceful as it was her disciple who gave her this much power..."
"This..."
Davis could only wryly smile, becoming silent. He knew that Sect Master Lea Weiss was a prideful woman, and each time they met, it was more obvious to him.
But, he couldn't help wonder if the fact that he flirted with Sect Master Lea Weiss to make her mad and annoyed had any influence in shaping up her emotions towards him. If so, he felt bad and admitted that it was his fault for stirring up the feelings of a five-thousand-year-old virgin, but then, he truly wouldn't know without waking her up first.
"Ancestor Cornelia, can you step out?"
Ancestor Cornelia's head swiveled towards him in disbelief, yet a glimmer of hope appeared.
"Are you willing to take her right now?"
"What the..." Davis's eyes went wide as he looked at Ancestor Cornelia's face before he hurriedly shook his head, "No! I'm going to heal her and ask from her own mouth."
"Heal her? Are you capable of such a thing? In any case, why bother? Just take her already..."
Davis's mouth went agape as he gulped.
"Granny, you're seriously making me scared..."
He didn't think that Ancestor Cornelia was a forceful individual.
"Hmph!" Ancestor Cornelia's eyes narrowed as she harrumphed, "The nerve she has to fail after acting so impudent, wanting me to slave my life for the sect until I die at the very last moment. Since she is selfish, I'll be selfish as well, not to mention the damage the news of her heavenly tribulation brought to the sect. She must compensate for it, or even she wouldn't have the face to see me after waking up two days later!"
"But granny," Davis argued, "You should've known that the wicked path would attack-"
"Yes, but they always attack during the tribulation, not after it, which they didn't today. Due to little Lea failing her tribulation, I was immersed in sorrow and became careless, especially assuming that they didn't dare attack, considering that we had an alliance with you. Although I won't make this her fault, she still miserably failed the tribulation, so now she has to listen to me! I won't take no for an answer from her!"
Ancestor Cornelia's body trembled, her expression appearing extremely angered but also looking as though she would cry. By this time, Davis calmed, and placed a hand on her shoulder, and patted.
"Granny, I understand that you're desperate for your sect's future, but you also said once that you wanted little Lea to be happy. Calm down first..."
"How- How can I-"
Ancestor Cornelia's tears finally spilled from her eyes before she froze and turned around, her back trembling. Davis didn't say anything and let her relax first. After a while, Ancestor Cornelia finally spoke.
"There's no need to heal her. Visit after three days, and perhaps, after she comes to know her failure and admits her uselessness, you can try healing her if you have a method to heal her body, dantian, and soul from a heavenly tribulation strike that's two levels higher because I sure don't have one with me..."
She still had her back to him, speaking in a monotonous tone.
"The thing is..."
Davis sighed as he turned to face Sect Master Lea Weiss and raised his hands.
"I don't have time to waste."
Pure white light plunged from Davis's palms as it fell on Sect Master Lea Weiss as he used his life energy to heal her injuries. He didn't even bother to check her injuries with soul sense as that would be like infringing on her chastity but directly began to heal her with a wide range of using life energy on her entire body.
"You..."
Ancestor Cornelia suddenly felt a burst of pure and sacred energy from behind and saw that it was Davis using peculiar energy. Judging by its appearance and aura, she instantly connected it to a type of law that was perceived to be the direct opposite of Death Laws.
"Impossible... how can you use Life Laws?"
Ancestor Cornelia's voice was full of shock and disbelief.
