Davis turned to look back at the entourage and cast a derisive gaze, "It’s not like I’m going to burn everything down here. That’s blasphemous for an alchemist like ..."
The Imperial Protectors and the others all gave a wry yet unsightly smile before they awkwardly left. They didn’t want to offend the important subordinate of the Conferred Queen as that would aggravate things.
In any case, although they were looked down upon, as long as it could benefit the Empire, they were able to accept this humiliation, thinking that they were sacrificing their faces for a beneficial cause.
Alexi Ethren also left, leaving Davis and the librarian all alone at the entrance of the Imperial Library. Davis walked forwards, and in a few seconds of entering the sea of bookshelves, he saw the history section.
"So, all information and records within the Empire’s borders are brought here?" Davis asked with a neutral voice.
"Ah, yes!" The librarian who followed him responded before putting her head down again.
’A shy librarian? Or is she just scared of ?’ Davis shrugged, "Miss Librarian, how many books have you read?"
"M-more than a million..."
Davis nodded his head. He could sense that the librarian exhibited vague Adult Soul Stage undulations.
It was really possible to read through books carrying general information just by scanning them with the soul sense. The process of reading is hastened by n number of tis depending on the person’s quantity and quality of soul force, and mainly their Soul Forging Cultivation. However, reading and understanding was sothing else.
The latter just depended on the person’s intelligence and comprehension.
He could also sense that she was at the Law Manifestation Stage, the Sixth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation System. Judging by the normal rate of cultivation in this Territory, he guessed that she was more than 500 years old.
Unless she was a hidden genius, he felt that his guess would be correct. He could also asure her bone age to find her real age, but that is off-limits and extrely rude.
To know her approximate bone age, he would have to send his soul sense inside her body and feel how ’archaic’ is her bone. There will be an aura of age emanating from the bones, and with that, he would be able to approximately guess.
For accurate results, cultivators would check the cranium since the other parts of the body might have been once cut off, only to be regenerated again.
Evelynn had half of her arm cut off in the past, so the newly regenerated bone might have a different bone age. However, with the passage of ti, the other bones connected to the regenerated bones would slowly but steadily spread their age aura, making it even.
Davis obviously didn’t check the librarian’s bone age, considering that ca off as imnsely rude and distasteful to him.
In front of him, she was just as good as being naked.
If he wanted to, he could even completely outline her body from top to bottom in his mind with his soul sense without her knowing just because he possessed a powerful Soul Forging Cultivation than her, not taking account that his soul was already painted seamless; almost undetectable.
Davis didn’t know how many innocent won suffered under the shaless scans of powerful soul senses. Unless they possessed an artifact that could detect or deflect the soul sense, it was too difficult for them to even notice.
This constitutes one of the major reasons why won preferred to stay inside the confines of safety within their families. Even then, it still wasn’t safe for them as there would always be deviants within their own families.
He couldn’t help but feel that the modern world is countless tis easier to traverse and live than in the cultivation world for won.
While he was lanting, he saw that in the history section, there were vague records even on Immortals! Of course, he knew that it was common sense in the Fifty-Two Territories that no Immortals existed as they would all ’ascend’ upon breakthrough.
These books or records on Immortals of the past could be fantasies of people as most were written like a biography. Hence, most of them could be fake, at least, according to him. They could even be novels for all he knew.
However, he still had the urge to take a look at them.
Nevertheless, under the scrutiny of his soul sense, he had found one of the records he wanted to find out. He arrived at that location and reached out his hand before a particular to on a bookshelf flew towards him.
Davis captured the books in his palm, and the title appeared in his view.
[asuring One’s Talent in Cultivation According To The Large Territories]
The complete basics of the novels he read in the past, yet, in this world, one’s cultivation talent could only be asured by the results they produced in cultivation compared to their age.
This simple yet crude thod is filled with extre deviation, yet the majority of the people use this thod to asure one’s talent, because, this was the single thod that was widely known.
Even Ellia’s talent was asured by the slave traders who grood her in the past, but the way they asured her talent was with this crude thod, asuring her talent by her progress in cultivation.
Davis’s talent was asured like this in the past as well, but due to his soul’s anomaly, he beca an outlier, hence wanting to asure his real talent was one of his reasons for desiring this book.
He opened it and read the introduction.
It was the sa thing on how to asure a person’s talent with fewer deviations. However, he didn’t stop reading as he wanted to verify that his own comprehension regarding asuring talent is authentic.
Turning the pages, he completed more than a quarter of the to, but he finally verified that his comprehension of asuring one’s talent with the crude thod was more or less the sa with the author of this book.
However, knowing that this thick ti possibly couldn’t have crap written in it, he turned the page and beca pleasantly surprised as he read.
[
asuring one’s talent in regards to cultivation varies with the inclusion of all three cultivation systems. However, people of ancient tis didn’t have a problem with asuring one’s talent with accuracy.
Yes, the answer is with the ones we, the Fifty-Two Territories, no longer possess anymore.
The Immortals!
It is that Immortal Existences can perfectly asure a mortal’s talent!
I, Unislyn Ethren, have learned this from adventuring in the large Territories. It is said that the peak powers here still possess the thod to asure a cultivator’s talent perfectly.
My cultivation is redundant, and my talent could be described as extrely low. Hence, I pursued knowledge to prove that I am not trash, but I was proved otherwise.
Ironic and truly laughable...
Yes, I had finally discovered the opportunity to asure my talent from a person belonging to a peak power! This information protected within the peak power was imnsely valuable that I had to serve that person for a thousand years!
With that person’s help, I was able to know my talent!

Davis read on as he beca absorbed.
