Capítulo 32: Clara’s Thoughts

Time progressed leisurely, and gradually, a year passed.

Davis continued to cultivate in all three Cultivation Systems. He pushed himself overboard and was determined to work hard. After experiencing the bloodshed of war, he was once again made to realize that life and death can be determined in a single instant.

Even he was able to end lives with the help of the Death Book in an instant, much less the powerful people who were possibly above the Fifth Stage with unknown yet powerful means.

He heard from his father and mother that their continent was isolated, and it was difficult for people above the Fifth Stage to enter into their continent.

So they speculated that seniors who had arrived during the war must have been way more powerful than experts above the Fifth Stage.

If he hadn't heard that, then he would've still been complacent with his Empire's power and position, although he knew that such a senior didn't exist.

During this time, he reached Peak-Level Bronze Stage, Peak-Level Meridian Refinement Stage, and Mid-Level Infant Soul Stage.

Davis made progress in Body Tempering Cultivation System the most, reaching the Peak Level of Second Stage and even felt slightly proud of it.

To enter the Second Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation, he swallowed numerous pills and tempered his flesh and further strengthened his meridians. The Loret Imperial Family had the required resources, and with his endurance, he successfully cultivated.

As for Soul Forging Cultivation, he was a bit regretful that he didn't manage to absorb the souls of more than two million people he massacred. All of that went to waste.

Otherwise, he thought that he would have possibly broken straight through the Young Soul Stage. Of course, it was only in his imagination and knew that it was not realizable at all.

Due to the abnormality of the prison where numerous prisoners were dead, Davis temporarily avoided the prison and made an improvement in Soul Forging Cultivation by himself, experiencing an increase in level.

Even so, with this kind of cultivation base, he was only seven years old and soon going to be eight years old. This was an achievement that no one in this Grand Sea Continent was able to achieve.

Logan took charge as the Emperor seriously and cleared the capital of any insurgents and spies he could find. He executed all of them in public so people would have to think twice or thrice about being a spy again.

Claire gave birth to another baby girl, the Second Princess, Diana Loret.

Diana was born normally, and there were no mysteries concerning her, unlike Davis and Clara. She was thankful for that as well, pretty much content that she got a normal child.

Clara was able to speak smoothly, considering her age, which was only three. She picked up the habit of reading from her brother and quickly learned the language of the world. Then she started to read about matters relating to cultivation as if she were a cultivation maniac.

This became possible because she liked to mimic her brother.

Davis was so astonished to see his little sister be like that as he didn't think a three-year-old baby would be able to grasp thoughts and concepts so quickly. If word spread, then everyone would think that she is a monster, but Davis still could not care about that as he cared for her so much, that it was reaching the levels of the term 'siscon'.

"Brother! I don't want to play! I want to learn!" A cute little girl shouted angrily, but no matter who saw her face, they would melt in sweetness.

She is ninety-four centimeters tall. Her face remained chubby and extremely cute. Her purple eyes were like two glowing amethyst gems, and her neck-length blonde hair was silky smooth and wavy.

"Don't be like that Clara, what is your age? You should be playing instead of studying!" Davis shouted.

"Then what about you, brother? You're already way ahead of me!! And you're only seven years old!!" Her charming and adorable face puffed up in anger as she felt like her brother left her in the dust.

She only recently learned about her brother's achievements in cultivation, so she no longer felt like playing anymore.

"…"

"Hmpfh! You only say that because you want to play with me! Why are you using my age as an excuse?"

"…"

Not one time, not a single time has he managed to win against her in an argument. She could always see through his lies and was also extremely intelligent for her age. Maybe it was because of those eyes that she was quickly picking up anything and everything she was taught.

Davis now felt like that there was no advantage in being reincarnated or transmigrated in front of other characters like her.

"Alright, you can learn but not cultivate! If you want to cultivate, you can only do it after you get permission from our father and mother." Davis sighed helplessly as the days where he would even forsake his cultivation to play with his little sister was over.

But Davis was having none of it…

He waited for her purple eyes to stop glowing.

Clara's eyes would slightly glow from time to time, randomly indicating that her ability was active, and for now, she had no control over it.

"Fine! You don't want to play anymore? Then I won't talk to you anymore either. Hmph! I'm going to see my sweet little sister Diana who's way cuter than someone else..." Davis gave a side glance and left.

"Huh? Don..."

Clara wanted to say it, but the words wouldn't come out. She held her hands in front of her chest and looked sad.

'No... Brother is already so strong, and if I am still like before, then I won't be able to be with him.' Clara's thoughts were pure without blemish.

She solely wished to follow her brother as she heard tales about the world outside.

As intelligent as she was, she realized that she was capable of complex thoughts for her age. She was only able to be herself when she was in front of her parents and her brother.

She could feel the gaze of fear and doubt in other people's eyes when they looked at her even when she was behaving normally. Even her parents were kind of awkward when she showed her intelligence, but her brother accepted everything.

Clara could tell this because of her eyes that could see through deceit and lies.

She could even see that most people acted in front of her, and that was quite an uncomfortable experience for her. So she adopted had a slightly cold character in front of her parents and others. Only in front of her brother would she be a bit playful and warm.

Only her brother was true in front of her. She could tell that although he lied from time to time, there was only care in it as he would immediately explain himself.

"Hmph! Keep up the act, brother!" Clara fumed with a flushed face and left.

Although her eyes were not active, she would know if her brother lied or not just by her intuition. She even formed a habit of being capable of telling the truth apart from lies by using her intuition.

Little did she know that she was little by little gaining control over her mystical Transcendent Truth Eyes by practicing this habit.
