Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 226 Difference



Even so, he knew that when his Soul Forging Cultivation increases, he will be able to comprehend more from the insights taught to him by Old Man Garvin.

At that time, entering the Sixth and Seventh Stage won't be far from him anymore, even without the help of Fallen Heaven.

But with Fallen Heaven, this process might be increased in speed by the level and amount of soul essences he devours.

Ultimately, everything still ended up on Fallen Heaven to take care of him. To this, Davis was not at all amused as he wanted to have his own power surpassing that of Fallen Heaven's.

It was the third year from the time he was taken as a 'disciple' by Garvin and Davis was quite proud to say that he was adept at Soul Forging Cultivation.

After all, if he weren't adept, then it would've taken a long time for him to build a foundation in Soul Forging Cultivation for stepping into the latter stages.

In the same unchanged dimly lit room, Garvin sighed to Davis's boasting, "If only I had your potential and a teacher who would impart everything without reserve during my youth, sigh..."

Garvin Woller had realized that Davis being this talented and strong in his age was no accident.

If he were Davis, he imagined that he would break through to the Immortal Stage within a thousand years; minimum.

A state which he wouldn't even have to worry about dying of aging anymore! Or at least, that's what the world knew about the so-called Immortals.

"If only I had your cultivation base right now..." Davis sighed, lying on the bed with one of his hands placed on his chin.

Garvin turned to look at him, "Greedy bastard! Your strength at your age is already envious enough!"

'Clearly, this little bastard doesn't know what asking for an inch, yet taking a yard means!' Garvin thought hatefully as he stared daggers at Davis.

Davis chuckled and realized something, "Oh... Since you have seen the wide part of the world, then how would I compare to those geniuses from the major powers?" 

His eyes flashed.

He was truly interested in knowing where he stood among the younger generation geniuses. Of course, he held no competitive feelings, it was just pure curiosity!

Garvin narrowed his eyes and replied in a solemn tone yet dissatisfied tone, "Any old fart would want you to be their disciple. In terms of Soul Forging Cultivation, you alone can wipe the floor with these so-called geniuses."

Davis half-believing glanced at Garvin's eyes. He couldn't detect any change of expression on his face either.

'His evaluation of me must be appropriate...' Davis thought and was quite satisfied.

Then, he suddenly remembered something, "What about in terms of Body Tempering Cultivation and Essence Gathering Cultivation? How do I compare?"

Garvin lifted up his chin and thought for a moment, he then answered, "Though your Body Tempering Cultivation is on par with most geniuses, your Essence Gathering Cultivation is lagging way behind..."

Davis nodded his head calmly. To this, he wasn't surprised. He was already 15 years old and was nearing 16.

Even though it meant there were sixteen-year-old Body Transformation Stage Cultivators, Davis wasn't fazed at all because he knew that humans were more compatible with Essence Gathering Cultivation.

'But to think there was strong Body Tempering Cultivators at my age... What kind of monsters are they?' Davis thought.

After all, he had experienced a previous life and was quite used to pain, and as a result, could train Body Tempering Cultivation with a forbearing will.

'Do the major powers have a secret method to cultivate the body at such a young age?' Davis developed some kind of strange thoughts in his head.

Meanwhile, Garvin looked at Davis and chuckled as he interpreted Davis's question in a different way, 'This brat is surprisingly competitive and clever, good!'

The more Davis was like this, the more he had his chances of getting his revenge fulfilled!

"You are both a prodigy and a genius!" Garvin smiled, 'No matter what! I must use my remaining life to teach this boy to the fullest of my extent!'

His almost dead eyes were filled with deep emotions!

"What exactly does a prodigy mean?" Davis confusedly asked as he heard a new term.

Garvin furrowed his brows, silently cursing his fate. He never would've thought that one day, he would have to explain so much to a brat who wasn't even his disciple; in a formal sense.

But since he had decided long ago not to hold back anything when teaching him, he spoke, "A prodigy is a person who has achieved great cultivation results despite their young age." 

Old Man Garvin grinned, "For example, you."

"Your age is merely 15, and generally speaking, that is when children your age start cultivating their soul as they completed their breakthrough into the Revolving Core Stage."

"When even they are considered prodigies, much less is needed to be said about you."

"Huh? Then what about geniuses? Aren't they both the same thing then?" Davis confusedly asked.

"No, it's different. A genius is an individual who can jump levels to fight other people of the same cultivation stage, not the same cultivation base."

"Common people like to either designate one as a common cultivator or a genius/prodigy cultivator. They don't know that for us top powerhouses, there's a huge difference between being a prodigy and a genius."

"Almost everyone with ample resources could be a prodigy, but not every prodigy can be a genius. The gap separating a genius and a prodigy is very large."

"Of course, if one could cultivate to the highest stage possible in all three cultivation systems within 1,000 years, then it doesn't matter if that person is a genius or not since that person's potential would be boundless when compared to other geniuses."

"Unfortunately, there are no such great beings in the 52 Territories." Old Man Garvin slowly replied as he revealed a pitiful expression for the state of the geniuses.
