Chapter 228 Old Man Garvin's Past
"I don't know." Davis shook his head.
Old Man Garvin slightly nodded his head, "The way written in this manual to cultivate an artificial physique seems to be… the truth!"
Davis turned jubilant, "Then that ans I have a physique, right?"
"I guess you do but the effects of the physique are diocre in the latter part of the stages and it's grade could only reach to a maximum of Earth. That's the limitation that I could perceive from reading this manual in a single glance." Old Man Garvin shook his head.
Davis blinked but he did understand Old Man Garvin's words, "You an to say that this physique turns useless when I enter the Fifth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation?"
Old Man Garvin nodded, "I believe so…"
Davis laughed inwardly, 'No wonder at the end of the cultivation thod, it ntioned that I would automatically gain the Tyrant Physique… It just an that it is negligible, clever author…'
"Even so, a cultivation thod to cultivate an artificial physique to the Earth Grade? This can create storms and earthquakes if released to the peak powers since it could create a lot of low-level cultivators proficient than their counterpart competitive powers."
"Alright, you said that there's no lesson today, can I go and cultivate?" Davis asked as he shook his head, quickly moving the matter to the back of his mind.
He understood that there was no use worrying about things like that right now. As for revealing this cultivation thod to peak powers, uhh, nope.
Besides, he was impatient to increase his cultivation now that he heard that he was lagging behind in terms of Essence Gathering Cultivation.
It had been three years since Davis cultivated, only pondering about the laws and gaining insights to complent his Soul Forging Cultivation.
"Don't be so hasty. Today, I will tell you about my past and why I was reduced into this state…" Old Man Garvin uttered with a downcast expression on his face, his eyes glinting with sadness.
Davis pretended to not notice and said, "Oh! A story? I like stories! Let
hear that tragic tale of yours!"
Garvin nodded as he finally saw a semblance of a child in Davis but his expression turned ugly when he heard him ntion 'tragic tale'.
Davis shut his mouth upon receiving the evil glare from Old Man Garvin. He didn't dare to go too far when insulting Old Man Garvin either!
"Whatever…" Old Man Garvin waved his hands and uttered, "In the latter part of my life, I lived in the territory nad Emperor Sword Sect which has more than a single Ninth Stage Powerhouse at the helm."
"Wait!" Davis interrupted before Garvin could even finish his words.
"This Emperor Sword Sect you ntioned… How far is it?" Davis's eyes twitched. He had asked the question three years ago but still hadn't received an answer.
Even the Desolate Plains caused him a long ti to traverse, and to this Emperor Sword Sect, he didn't get a good feeling about it one bit.
"You're telling
that you don't know who are all the major powers of the 52 territories?" Garvin didn't even need to guess as he could tell from his previous interactions that Davis hadn't left the Tripartite Alliance Territory, not even once.
In fact, he even realized that Davis didn't seem to not co from a prominent established power as he had initially thought him to be.
"Yes…" Davis smiled sheepishly.
His mother Claire was only a rising genius and the information she knew was greatly limited to Alstreim Family Territory and Tripartite Alliance Territory.
And from the information she provided to him about Tripartite Alliance Territory, he could tell that she never toured around Tripartite Alliance before, only coming to participate in the secret entrance to gain access to the Immortal Inheritance.
"Sigh, let
explain to you from the start then…" Garvin shook his head.
"The Territory we are in right now can be considered a small territory. This territory belongs to the Tripartite Alliance… which is made up of three major powers."
"In Tripartite Alliance's Territory, there are three Territory Gates which lead to the Alstreim Family's Territory, Towering Cloud Hall's Territory and Falling Snow Sect's Territory."
"Those three territories are also considered to be small territories but when there's a piece of jade in the middle, everyone wants a piece of it, right?"
"So after thousands of years of war, fighting for this territory, they lost a large number of eighth state experts, finally forming an alliance nad the Tripartite Alliance while also sealing their vulnerability and conquered this territory exactly a thousand years ago."
Davis was appalled. He didn't know that Tripartite Alliance had a thousand-year-long history while his mother was only around 30 years almost two decades ago. Even his mother didn't know that much except that they ruled over for a period of ti.
"If you want to go to the Emperor Sword Sect Territory, then you should enter the Falling Snow Sect Territory, cross the gates of Dual Lotus Manor Territory and from there, make your way to the Emperor Sword Sect Territory!"
'Wait, Dual Lotus Manor Territory? This sounds like…' Davis furrowed his brows as his thoughts wandered to a place of culture.
Garvin noticed Davis's strange expression but continued, "When I was a youth, I was a rogue cultivator, not belonging to any major power."
"When I reached the Seventh Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation, I was already 1500 years old. At that ti, my soul cultivation was extrely diocre. I didn't even reach Adult Soul Stage, only managing to remain at the peak of Young Soul Stage."
"During one day, I realized that making progress in Energy Condensation Cultivation beca incredibly difficult, so I beca obsessed with increasing my Soul Forging Cultivation."
"I spent incredible ti researching, digging up mysteries, tombs and anything that could help
increase my Soul Forging Cultivation."
"Another thousand years passed just like that… but I only managed to break through the Adult Soul Stage." Old Man Garvin let out a sigh as he shook his head wryly.
