The Story Never Ends

"Eh! Why are there no techniques above the Domain Realm?" Davion couldn't help but exclaim when he roughly peered through the jades. As a Saint, how can he not leave at least some techniques in the Venerable Stage?

"You are really dumb. It's because at that level, what is the use of secret arts and techniques when mastering the power of laws gives you an absolute advantage over them. In an easier sense, someone cultivating the law of fire can mobilize and create thousands of tricks and techniques that can manipulate flames with a wave of their hand." Siena explained as she continued. 

"So, it's a waste of time recording them. I believe that the techniques recorded here might be the skills the Human Saint cultivated before reaching the Venerable Stage. From then on, one's strength depends upon the number of laws comprehended and how deep is their attainment." 

"Is that so?" He understood what she meant.

"Yeah. But you should practice those sword techniques. I was watching your moves when you were fighting against the corpses earlier, they were too rough and rudimentary. The battle with Gunnar was the same as well." She shook her head.

"If you had proper sword techniques, you could have easily beaten them in a jiffy. I can't imagine someone like you who had zero knowledge in swordsmanship formed such a powerful sword intent. You are extremely lucky." 

She was quite envious of him as she remembered how much she had suffered when manifesting her saint intent. She had learned many skill sets and fought with lots of phoenixes and elders of her clan to hone her sword. It was extremely tough and tiring. 

Recalling how swiftly he manifested one, nearly brought her to tears as the comparison was simply disturbing. 

"Although you could have still won if you went all out, that would bring a lot of troubles." Without letting him speak, she reminded him seriously. 

She knew what disaster would befall on him if he revealed he could manipulate all the elements in between heavens and earth. "That's why you should learn them as fast as possible and improve your combat effectiveness." 

"I will keep that in mind." He nodded as he would learn them later on.

"So, do you want to have a look at it? Even though your clan possesses everything, there might be something that can catch your eyes." He asked, passing her the ring.

"Let me see." She didn't decline and checked its content using her divine sense.

A couple of seconds later, she shook her head and said softly, "Since I've already taken a fairy pill, taking more of them won't do much. As for talismans, weapons, and rare treasures of heavens and earth, they are not enticing to me as I have seen many of them in the clan."

"And last but not the least, these sword techniques are all of the dark elements which aren't suitable for me. Only this feather of the blazing pelican is somewhat useful to me." She took it out and Davion became amazed by its appearance.

It was 10 meters long and was burning with strong orange-colored flames that distorted the space.

"Perhaps it can help me reach the middle-stage of the Domain Realm." She happily accepted it and returned him the ring.

"Wealthy Woman." Davion was speechless, seeing how only one item caught her eye among all that.

"Now, is there anything left for you to do in the outer region? I believe you accomplished your task here." She inquired curiously.

"Nah! There isn't. We may leave." He answered with a smile on his face. 

Who could have thought that the harvest this time would be so bountiful? Not only did he find the sword, but he even got a powerful devil's soul for it, allowing him to indirectly obtain a fairy artifact.

Plus, the inheritance of the Human Saint was another surprise. If any of these things were to be leaked, the Inner Regions would definitely turn upside down. Maybe the Central Region as well.     

"But before that, I have to take care of this mess." He took out a random middle-grade sword from his spirit ring and injected tones of his dark energy into it. 

He then stabbed it into the ground and the density of dark energy in the pool increased by a large amount. Yes, the sword was steadily ejecting the dark energy into the water, making it the most suitable place for the cultivation of dark energy in the outer region.

"I think this is way better than the previous pool. There are no dangerous devils to harm the disciples and especially, they won't have their mind affected due to the lingering devil essence." He muttered in satisfaction.

"Wouldn't the Bone and Devil Sect become the strongest sect in the Outer Region if the disciples stay here to cultivate forever?" The more he thought, the happier he became.

However, Siena had the complete opposite reaction to it. "I know what you are trying to do. But with this method, your energy will run out after a few years."

"You should at least leave a low-level dark energy gathering formation." She suggested.

He gazed at her wryly and replied, "I'm not that stupid to not know of this. It's just that I don't have any knowledge about formations."

"Hehe, it looks like our genius has some shortcomings." She chuckled.

"If I were as old as you, I would have certainly mastered everything about formations. It would have been even better if I had a powerful clan backing me." He retorted back.

"You…" She was furious. Nonetheless, she couldn't get back at him, knowing what he said made sense.

"Forget it." She let go of the matter and took out some materials from her spirit ring.

"You owe me another one." She threw them away in different directions and channeled her spiritual energy in them.

"Whoosh!"

The pool became completely dark as the dark energy swiftly gathered from the surroundings around the sword that was in the middle.

Next, she threw six strange flags from her spirit ring above the sword and waved her hands repeatedly in the air, forming weird black circular runes on top of those flags.

"Magnificent!" He exclaimed as we watched the whole process. It opened his eyes since it was his first time witnessing someone preparing a formation.

"I have created two middle-grade formations; one energy gathering formation to gather dark energy and another concealment formation to hide all this. Nobody below the Nascent Soul Stage can discover this."

As she explained, the array flags and the materials including the sword became invisible, making the pool look normal. 

"Thanks." Davion expressed his gratitude.

"No problem." For a Domain Realm Expert like her, creating these formations was as simple as drinking water.

"Now, the only thing left to solve is this overflowing water coming from the cracks." He glanced below and thought of various methods to solve them.

"Why don't you use your earth's elemental power to cover them?" She was puzzled. Wasn't this easy for him?

"I have yet to learn how to manipulate the earth element." He sighed in disappointment.

"It seems like I have to visit the Spirit Arts hall of the Thunderbolt Sect soon and peer through all those spells." With the current level of his Mind-Eye, he was confident of bypassing the restrictions in those jades.

"You can't?" She was amazed.

"Does his holy physique have some kinds of restrictions?" She felt that she was getting to know more of his secrets.

"Indeed. But I have an idea." Cold energy spread from his feet and the water below him began freezing.

A while later, a tough and thick ice floor had formed on the ground and the water had stopped from seeping through the cracks.

"It's good. But how will you take out the remaining water?" She asked as the whole cave was still flooded.

"By creating a void in space." He sat cross-legged on the ground and started chanting the devil language while closing his eyes.

"This…" She didn't understand what he was doing. Didn't he always use the law rune on his body to open a void? So, what the hell was he doing currently?

While she was confused, a crack automatically appeared in front of her and the water passed through it, decreasing the water in the cave rapidly.

"Once enough water is gone, we will enter the void as well." He declared with a serious look on his face.

"Isn't this the way to the devil world?" Siena was shell-shocked when her Divine Sense caught the disgusting breath coming from the other side of the void.

"Yeah. I don't like leaving things unfinished." He was referring to his sword.

"I see." She nodded.

After a while, the cave eventually dried out and many parts of the devil world experienced sudden rainfall, surprising all the devils as the devil world lacked such clear water.

"Let's go." Flames blazed all over his body as he used the law rune to protect himself from the chaotic void.

Grabbing her hand, he jumped into the void.
