Davis tensed for a moment. His pupils almost dilated when he heard those words 'exchange pointers,' but he expected this to happen, and even readied an appropriate response.

"If teaching the younger generation is the objective, then we can compare pointers with our Supreme Soul Stage Soul Forging Cultivations. When two experts of the Supreme Soul Stage clash, the insights that the younger generation would receive to their Soul Forging Cultivation wouldn't be any less than watching two Law Rune Stage Powerhouses battle."

"Besides, battling with a Ninth Stage Cultivation is a bit overwhelming towards the surroundings and the lives that are like ants', don't you agree, Fellow cultivator Dian Alstreim?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes flashed with an unreserved light of admiration, "Conferred Queen's Protector is right and merciful. No wonder you didn't rightfully kill the Ethren Family for showing disrespect to you."

He stood up and waved his hand, "Prepare the martial platform!"

The Elders seated below the platform all stood up and echoed, "Yes!"

The people who were seated in the middle of the hall all moved to the opposite ends as they put away the mats and tables that carried the food into their spatial ring.

Evelynn and the others all possessed a confident expression on their faces, but inwardly, they were all worried except Princess Isabella and Nadia. They knew Davis's battle prowess in Soul Forging Cultivation. Hence, they weren't worried as long as it was a battle concerning the soul.

While Evelynn and the others were wondering if Davis would be fine, a martial platform was erected in the middle of the hall. It stretched to ten kilometers long and wide and still didn't even cover one-tenth of the Grand Welcoming Hall.

Once the martial platform was erected, defensive formations were being set up. Once the defensive formations were set up, they released a yellow glow while surrounding the whole martial platform, even towards the ceiling of the Grand Welcoming Hall, which was at least two kilometers tall. The yellowish glow faded away before the martial platform came into view.

Without exchanging a single word, both Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Conferred Queen's Protector stepped into the martial platform.

Davis was absolutely calm as his transparent soul force spread to the surroundings. He didn't know why, but perhaps, this was the confidence he possessed when it came to the soul. 

"Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage..." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim muttered, but his voice echoed in the hall, making everyone know about the Conferred Queen Protector's Soul Forging Cultivation level. They became awed, thinking that this senior also possessed the same level of Soul Forging Cultivation as their Ancestor.

This made them think that perhaps, their Ancestor and the Conferred Queen's Protector are on the same level as well! If they battled, how wonderful and platform-shattering it would be!?

However, considering that they were just using Seventh Stage attacks, they doubted that it would be capable of putting a crack on the martial platform in the first place.

Almost everyone was able to perceive the Conferred Queen's Protector's soul force to some extent because he didn't hide it anymore, but he did mask his soul force with a bit of death-like energy so that people don't relate his soul force undulations to his real body.

After all, the Solitary Soul Avatar was created from his own soul essence and possessed an extremely similar aura that is exposed through undulations. It would be easier to discover this discrepancy for experts with a stronger soul than him.

Looking at Ancestor Dian Alstreim's unchanging expression, Davis knew that he was not found out, or it could be said that since Alchemist Davis's soul aura was never revealed to the Alstreim Family, no one would suspect his similar soul force undulations other than a single person.

It was none other than Havle Alstreim.

However, taking a glance at Elder Havle Alstreim with his main body, Davis knew that Elder Havle Alstreim was oblivious and wasn't able to notice the similarity between the soul force undulations due to the death-like energy masking the soul aura, and perhaps his own soul being weaker. It was as if the death-like soul aura added a fake layer that gave it a unique and slightly different undulation.

This was why Elder Havle Alstreim didn't discover that Alchemist Davis and the Conferred Queen's Protector possessed the same soul aura.

Besides, even if he had discovered it, he wouldn't have dared to investigate it.

'To think I still couldn't be sure that it's him even though I've seen it... Let me see your prowess in Soul Forging Cultivation, absolute genius...'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked calm and serene despite the revelation he felt. He lifted his hand as soul force started to swirl around him, tinged with a dark-red hue. It spread to the surroundings and made the people who saw it had their mouths agape.

"This..." The Grand Elders all became shocked while some became convinced. Who were they all? They were naturally Eighth Stage Experts. Hence, they could at least measure the level once they've felt the soul undulations with their soul essence.

As they realized the implication, they all bowed their heads and echoed, "Congratulations on breaking through to the High-Level Supreme Soul Stage, Ancestor!"

The others all became stunned before they followed suit in congratulating the Ancestor.

The Grand Elders held a deep breath in their lungs. The implications just didn't mean that their Ancestor broke into the High-Level Supreme Soul Stage, but it also meant that the Soul Forging Cultivation Cultivation Manual they possessed had been improved!

After all, the Soul Forging Cultivation Cultivation Manual they possessed was only at Mid-Level King Grade, only able to make them advance to Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage.

But now, since their Ancestor has stepped into the High-Level Supreme Soul Stage and possessed the same fiery undulations that they possessed, then it naturally meant that the manual they used had been improved!

They had to admit! 

To improve the Mid-Level King Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual to High-Level King Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual wasn't a simple matter. Just for this matter alone, they felt deep worship and awe towards the Ancestor.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim imperceptibly smiled. Looking at the Protector's unchanged demeanor, he felt impressed. Time and time again, he was repeatedly impressed. To be able to stand in front of him like this... How much courage did it take for this person?

"It seems like my Supreme Soul Stage Cultivation is a level higher. Should I suppress my cultivation to your level so that we could equally display the prowess of the soul to the younger generation? After all, if one side was too powerful, it would be overwhelming for them to comprehend the intricacies as the clash of one of our soul forces would be quickly erased." He warned.

"No need..." Davis smiled behind the mask, "You would do well not to underestimate my prowess in Soul Forging Cultivation."

"Oh? I'm feeling an emotion that I haven't felt for a long time. I am indeed excited..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled and inwardly added, 'So don't disappoint me, absolute genius!'

"Careful!"

Supreme Soul Stage soul force surged from Ancestor Dian Alstreim's body like a tide. They swept through the martial platform's space and transformed into a burning mountain that undulated below the Protector like an active volcano.

"Magma Encases the Skies!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim stretched his hand and clenched.
