In The Room!

Lucifer was looking in Elizabeth's direction while listening to her breathing to help him know her location including what she was feeling. Listening to her breathing he knew that she was embarrassed and blushing, causing him to smirk while he spoke 'shyly', "Ellie, now that we are alone... please, don't take advantage of me, alright?"

Elizabeth was so startled that she raised her head and glanced at Lucifer with a bit of 'anger' yet more than anything she was just feeling embarrassed thus she pouted as she was staring directly into Lucifer's seemingly glowing red eyes and blurted out, "Your eyes got even more beautiful."

Her face instantly 'exploded' as it immediately turned beet-red, she just wanted to find a place to hide or run away, however, Lucifer calmly told her, "Thanks, I think it is because of the fusion of those particles that went inside my eyes, however, do you even know what those particles are?"

Elizabeth shook her head, but Lucifer couldn't see her but he assumed that she didn't know he said teasingly, "You know I can't see what movement you made right?"

"..."

Elizabeth just wanted to rush out of the room, but Lucifer just continued, "If you don't mind, I can tell you about it and maybe give you some tips about cultivating."

Elizabeth eagerly nodded her head at his question like a chicken that's pecking seeds, a scene Lucifer could only imagine in his mind, making him laugh, but he began explaining.

"The particles are something the upper echelons of the immortal world knew about since there was this gate no-one could cross, which we believed to be able to lead us towards a higher world. The strongest tried to go through the gate, but as soon as they entered they were ripped to shreds and died, even the ones that were in the Qi God-King realm, causing everyone to assume that only those with an even higher cultivation realm can make it through the gate, but I disagreed. Before I went through my lighting tribulation and while I was already a slight step into the next realm, I could still feel the pressure coming from it, therefore I concluded that there must be another way to cross it or you simply had to have an even higher cultivation realm. The elite called the particles, Void Qi since it was a 'gate' was more like a black hole and dark like the void. back inside that separate space Matthew created with that artefact, when I was absorbed by that darkness, I could sense how my body was slowly being ripped apart, if I didn't have the cultivation techniques that I have, I would have died, but luckily I could absorb some of the Void Qi, which made have some sort of resistance to the Void Qi or that's what I think."

Elizabeth listened to him speak with bated breath at the story that she has never heard before, but it was mostly because she could learn more about him.

After speaking there was a comfortable silence between them for a few minutes before Lucifer asked her, looking away in embarrassment, yet he was looking at a wall, "Can you tell me more about yourself?"

Seeing Lucifer's embarrassment and the way he tried to hide it made her giggle, but she still answered him, "Yes, I can."

She began telling him about her life, her sister, her family, what they experienced about life, what she enjoyed about life so far, her hobbies, favourite colour, and so much more, but while she was speaking she couldn't help but recall how embarrassed Lucifer was, and how innocent he was related to romance, making her giggle yet she continued. They talked for hours learning about each other, bringing them even closer together then they were.

...

A couple of hours ago, when the rest stepped out of the room and closed the door they immediately turned around and pressed their ears upon the door to listen to their conversation, however, Bruno was just standing near them as he was watching them. The scene was comical since two adults and one teenager was pressing their ears on the door, desperately trying to hear what Lucifer and Elizabeth were talking about when they could have just focused on them and they would have heard them fine so Bruno asked while chuckling, "Peter, why don't you guys just use your-"

He was cut off by all three of them as they simultaneously turned their heads, placed their fingers on their lips and 'shh'-sing' him before doing what they did before but they said under their breaths, "Plus, it is more fun this way."

"..."

There was a long silence since their answer shocked Bruno because he thought his fun-loving friend died a long time ago when they arrived here, but it looks like he came back. He smiled at them before he placed his hands behind his back and closed his eyes as he also began listening to their conversation.

...

Back to the present, inside the room, Lucifer and Elizabeth were sitting cross-legged across from each other.

"To become stronger in cultivation one needs not only power but also luck, support, hard-work and money. With those four things, you can reach any heights you want to reach, however, there is something I discovered from all of my travels across the immortal world as well as the other minor worlds which are in the immortal world, which is, to make sure that you cultivate regularly though your focus shouldn't be on accumulating Qi more on control over your Qi because it will increase the density and purity of your Qi, making you even stronger, the more you do it the stronger you will be, later on, you will be able to fight someone a minor or even a major realm higher then you are. There is even a chance that you can get a body cleansing or enlightenment from it."

Elizabeth and the others that were listening to him talk about cultivation shocked everyone, especially Peter, Samantha and Bruno. This just made them realize that he is all grown up and can do anything on his own. Samantha looked at Peter, who was right beside her, while she asked softly, "Darling, do you remember the times when he asked us for help? And when he was so small that he relied on us for everything?"

Hearing what his wife asked made Peter's eyes moisten a bit as he nodded his head, however, he didn't speak since he felt like was going to cry when he did, but he couldn't help but think, 'Time sure flies by fast. It feels like a year or two ago that I took him under my tutelage, but it has already been a couple thousand.'

Even though they were a bit melancholic, the pride they felt outweighed everything. They continued to listen to him and thought of the times when he struggled to teach others about what to do, yet now he was better than some grandmasters when it came to explaining things. But the most important thing is that he is their 'son' and he taught both of their daughters something they were going to need to know.

They glanced toward Rose and saw her eyes which was practically filled with stars as she almost pressed her head through the door as she continued to listen, but suddenly it became quiet and Bruno that knew what was happening disappeared from his position, since he was alert but the others didn't pay attention to this before the door suddenly opened making the tree of them fall inside.

...

As Lucifer was talking he glanced at the door with a slight smile, which confused Elizabeth but she continued to listen to him, but suddenly he stopped talking and stood up carefully, asking Elizabeth to help him toward the door. She gladly helped him towards the door, even though she was confused about why he wanted to, she still did as he asked. Standing in front of the door Lucifer turned towards Elizabeth, smiled and opened the door with his left hand causing three people to fall into the room, shocking Elizabeth.

...

Lucifer gazed down at them and spoke with a smile, "Welcome, it seems that you have enjoyed yourselves by listening to me, huh?" He looked at the shocked faces of the three of them while Rose asked stuttering, "H-how did you discover us?"

"Hehe. Well since the particles entered my eyes and took my sight from me, but when it fused with my soul and body my hearing increased tremendously, enabling me to hear your breathing and that you were talking since you weren't careful and didn't hide it like you normally do."

Elizabeth said, "Look at you guys I can't believe you did this, can't you be more like uncle Bruno."

They were shocked by what they said but they felt unjust since Bruno was just here, they turned to the corner he was standing and was about to tell them, yet they didn't see anything.

Speechless.

They couldn't say anything but they vowed to get their revenge on Bruno later.

Looking at them Lucifer and Elizabeth chuckled/giggled but they both suddenly looked at each other and he nodded, thus she looked at Rose and asked her, "Want to join the lesson?"

Elizabeth's offer shocked her, but after composing herself she quickly nodded her head as she jumped up and hugged her sister repeating, "you are the best sister ever."

Everyone stood up and Peter and Samantha smiled seeing the interaction between them before they took their leave to go look for Bruno.

They returned to the centre where Rose and Elizabeth sat across from Lucifer while they listened to him talk for hours, giving them enlightenment, before they finally left, leaving Lucifer alone in the room.

Lucifer sat in the lotus position as he wanted to try and figure out what changed with his body and once again try and find answers for his previous question, of what is changing him and if it is still is changing him and if it was that sapling or was the entity something entirely different then the sapling.
