     401 Troublemaker

      "In any case, I'm planning to return to that place when I reach the Seventh Stage to see if I could enter those mysterious spaces," Davis spoke as he elaborated his thoughts.

     Indeed, he had certainly planned to visit the Third Layer again upon entering the Seventh Stage in any one of the cultivation systems. This way, he could find the secrets of Fallen Heaven or come in contact with that mysterious entity who is like an invisible ticking time bomb strapped behind his back.

     Coming in contact with the former will result in an increase of his power while coming in contact with the latter would result in death, in the worst-case scenario.

     "Ahh, we understand." Logan nodded his head, "We will accompany you at the time."

     "Sure, but don't blame me if disaster strikes us in that mysterious space. It's not like we're touring around for sightseeing..."

     Logan shut his mouth. He really wanted to explore the outer space in the Third Layer as he really liked adventures but his son had indirectly told him not to go since it might result in his death.

     He sighed but then spoke to Claire, "What do you think?"

     Claire came back to herself after hearing Davis's explanation, so she promptly nodded her head, "It's better if we listen to his words."

     Logan and Claire looked at each other in a knowing light and spoke at the same time, "After all, he doesn't mean to harm us..."

     Davis wasn't amused as he understood that they were taking a jab at him for his actions at that time, which almost made them battle to the death.

     Although he felt slightly guilty, it remained that the only way to bring an end to that matter was to make things clear and move to the next stage.

     His lips curled as he replied with a sneer, "You two weren't straightforward with your feelings, what else can I do other than forcefully making you two stick to each other again?"

     "You two even made your children deeply worried and distressed because of this matter, do you two feel no shame?"

     Logan and Claire looked away as they indeed had no words refute that fact.

     Claire turned red from embarrassment but she then spoke, "You shouldn't have done that but instead talked to us..."

     Davis had an exasperated expression on his face, "If soft methods worked, things wouldn't have developed to that point!"

     Both Logan and Claire went silent, making the surrounding people who heard their argument turn cold.

     Their son, the crown prince was actually the perpetrator? But they did nothing to him? The Crown Prince is that strong?

     Such thoughts swirled around their head, and they made a silent note in their minds to not leak this information.

     Davis sighed, "If you two still think I what I did was wrong, then go ahead and punish me. I'm willing to be punished..."

     Claire panicked a little, "Davis, I... We didn't mean that. You are our son, how can we see you suffer!?"

     Davis smiled on hearing his mother's words. It wasn't like he knew this would happen but was glad that they thought this way.

     After all, there was a slight difference in how he had viewed them before learning the truth about his transmigration and after the unverified revelation.

     "Enough mother, it's better if you punish me, so there are no hard feelings left between us. After all, I understand that I was the one who caused your heart demon to manifest and take possession of you..." Davis replied as he wholeheartedly thought this way.

     In a way, the plan he devised could've gone wrong on so many levels, so to say the least, he was prepared for punishments that could affect his life in turn for their permanent reconciliation.

     Claire bit her lips as she felt that she had made her son feel guilty of harming his own parents.

     This, in turn, caused her to make a decision.

     "Well then, I'll bestow your punishment," Claire spoke as she sat straight, reclining on the cold seat.

     Logan turned stunned, so was Clara!

     She instantly stepped forward and spoke, "Mother, if you're going to punish elder brother then I request to punish me as well. I was in the know and agreed with elder brother's plan!"

     At the same time, Logan sent Claire a Soul Transmission, "Claire, what are you doing? Didn't we choose to forgive our son?"

     Claire raised her hand and stopped everyone from reacting while her gaze fell on Clara, "Very well, I will punish you after declaring Davis's punishment."

     Logan strongly spoke with a frown revealed by his brows, "You can't do this!"

     Claire turned to look at Logan, her eyes were devoid of hate but love.

     Logan became stunned but then understood. He nodded his head to her inquisitive gaze, which seemed to ask him that if he trusted her.

     Claire's lips curved as it turned into a smile. She looked at Davis and spoke, "Your punishment is to accompany us to the Alstriem Family Territory in the future."

     Davis's mouth went slightly agape as he became stunned for a moment.

     After a short pause, he smiled, "As you wish, mother."

     At that time, when he removed the seal from his mother, she told him to not interfere with her revenge but now, she gave him a punishment to accompany them.

     To Davis, it couldn't get any better as he could protect them with his powers, instead of secret tailing them to protect behind their backs like he originally planned.

     This wasn't punishment but a restriction. In the future, he would have to travel with them together to bring Claire justice. This also had its pros and cons.

     Claire then turned to look at Clara, "As for you, the punishment is to take care of the Royal Castle during our absence."

     "Yes..." Clara blinked and then her face turned a little sad.

     She had wanted to explore the First Layer sooner but now it looked like she was tasked with house-sitting; to hold down the fort.

     "You have to especially take care of that troublemaker Diana, as well as give special care to Edward."

     Clara nodded her head in agreement, but inwardly, she really felt that it was a punishment.

     Logan laughed as he was satisfied with Claire's decision to 'punish' them.

     He turned to look at Davis in an amused light, "Leaving that matter behind, you seemed to be getting ready for another marriage, I assume?"

     Davis turned stunned as he saw his father wink, "What!?"

     'Marriage? What the hell were they talking about?'

     "What are you talking about, father?" He confusedly asked.

     Logan's amused expression disappeared but was then replaced with a hint of goodwill, "Davis, you can't turn out to be like me. If you did it, then put an end to that matter by taking a clear decision. You can't hurt Evelynn just like how I inadvertently hurt Claire..."

     "Wait, wait, wait! What did I do for you to even think like this?" Davis still confusedly spoke.

     Logan turned confused as he blinked. His son who told him to take responsibility for his past mistakes denies responsibility now?

     He didn't have a son like that...

     He looked at Claire with a confused look on his face.

     Claire on noticing Logan's expression, glanced at Davis to ask, "Davis, didn't you bring a woman named Mo Mingzhi into the Royal Castle?"

     Davis narrowed his eyes and delivered, "Yes..."

     At the same time, it suddenly dawned on him.

     Claire blinked but then continued, "When the castle maids you assigned asked her about her identity, she seemed to reply that she is your woman with a proud expression on her face."

     Davis's face twitched.

     So that's what had happened.

     402 Overprotective

      "Just like when your Uncle Viktor brought back Meng Ying, the rumors about you bringing a mortal woman to the Royal Castle spread like wildfire in the past hour, so you tell me what exactly is going on in this place..." Claire smiled as she shook her head.

     Davis felt a headache. He was not bothered about explaining this to his parents but how should he explain this to Evelynn? He imagined that there was already a slight amount of distrust starting to form in her when he revealed his secrets to her but now, on top of that, there was another problem that he would have to explain.

     He suddenly felt like tearing apart Mo Mingzhi to pieces but he hastily calmed himself down.

     He had expected something like this would happen but didn't think it would be so soon, not even an hour had passed but Mo Mingzhi had caused trouble for him.

     He sent Logan and Claire a Soul Transmission, "That woman was just a kid when I took care of her in my previous life but now, I don't know how, but it seems like she became obsessed with me during the course of the passing years..."

     Logan and Claire suddenly understood but the latter's eyes flashed, "So, she is someone you took care of in your previous life... No wonder you had a soft spot for her, bringing her to this place for her to cultivate, am I correct?"

     Davis paused but then smiled, "Mother's assessment is quite accurate. Clara can prove my words to be true as she was with me the whole time."

     "Oh, you finally revealed your past life to her?"

     "Yes." Davis deeply smiled, his gaze slightly profound. The lie he had told them would turn out to be true if his conjectures were right.

     Clara then verified his words to be true in a short while. Of course, they used Soul Transmission for conversation, so the Throne Hall was relatively silent.

     When Claire understood everything, she spoke, "Then she is spreading false information which affects my son in an immoral manner."

     With a slight pause, she added, "This calls for a trial..."

     Davis shook his head, "Don't, just leave her be... She'll eventually learn cultivation and leave this place when she recognizes that I pay no attention to her."

     "Are you sure? Even though she is a mortal, she dared to say that she is your woman even though it is not the truth. Regardless of what motives she may have, it still remains that she chose to sacrifice her virtue to you on the surface, so she must have some determination to see through her schemes until the end."

     Davis replied, "Maybe... But still, leave her alone for a few years and we'll see what happens then..."

     Claire nodded her head in agreement, "If that's what you want then mother will no longer pay heed to this matter."

     But rather than truly agreeing with his opinion, she felt that as if her son was rather protective of that woman.

     'Maybe even a little overprotective...' Her eyes flashed when she recalled why Davis had killed that mortal called General Wang Ke from Clara just a while ago.

     "In any case, you better explain this to Evelynn. You wouldn't want a repeat of our mistake, right?" Claire giggled as she placed her finger over her upper lips

     Davis wryly shook his head and left, his steps couldn't be heard as he floated away.

     ======

     Half an hour had passed from the time Davis exposed his secret to Evelynn. He walked back and returned to his room, but didn't find his wife in the room.

     He instantly panicked and sent out his Soul Sense, making him relaxed.

     'So, she's there...'

     Davis made his way above to the top floor and entered the artificial park that he had created with the help of numerous artisans.

     On the same bench he sat frequently, he saw Evelynn sitting there, watching the blue skies and clouds with a calm and serene gaze.

     He wasn't sure if he should approach her now but felt that he should act natural lest that it accidentally brings even more suspicious of his real identity.

     Just when he wanted to infer her situation by seeing the Karma Threads connecting them, she turned to look at him.

     With a sigh, he abandoned his thought and walked towards the bench as he sat by her side.

     Evelynn moved her hand towards him, intertwining her fingers with his fingers.

     Davis felt surprised but his eyes were calm.

     Evelynn bit her lips, her expression radiating a complex feeling that would melt one's heart, wanting to protect this frail soul.

     "I'm sorry, I just needed to time to think about your words..."

     Davis nodded in a serene manner, "What did you think?"

     A short while passed but then, Evelynn wryly chuckled, "I thought you weren't my Davis anymore..."

     Davis held her hands tight as he gazed at her.

     "I thought you were someone else..." Evelynn bit her lips as moved her eyes, "But I realized that I was thinking too much into this matter."

     "What made you think that I am still Davis then..." He asked, a little apprehensive and doubtful.

     She held his hand, and this was a good sign which meant that she had recognized him as her husband, Davis.

     But how did she arrive at that conclusion? Did she realize something or did she stop thinking altogether?

     "Is there even any need to?" Evelynn asked him back with a smile.

     Davis didn't reply but was inwardly depressed since it seemed like she stopped thinking about his true identity and gave up.

     "Why do I have to think when I can just ask our mother of your story. As for the veracity of your words, I can simply ask Clara to verify if it is the truth!"

     Davis widened his eyes. So she didn't stop thinking but faced it with a smarter approach to this matter.

     Davis inwardly laughed at himself. So he was the one who you emotional over this matter, even forgetting that it could be solved this way.

     'Truly, I'm an idiot... I should've just called them over and discussed with all three of them but that would leak all secrets of mine which is more dangerous.'

     Maybe his mind subconsciously excluded them from his calculations?

     He lifted up his hand that was connected with hers and looked at her confusingly.

     Then if she was waiting for them to confirm the facts for her, why did she grab his hands?

     "I personally wanted to believe in you, no matter the cost."

     Davis's heart shook, "What if I did not turn out to be Davis..."

     With a smile on her face, she replied, "I said I wanted to believe in you no matter the cost. If I turned out to be wrong, then I will simply kill myself..."

     Davis leaned in and embraced her in a hug, "Evelynn..."

     Evelynn felt her eyes cloud from the tears that were threatening to spill out from her eyes. Illusory beams of light permeated her vision, reflecting the skies.

     "Do you know how miserable I felt when I couldn't say that you were undoubtedly my Davis."

     Tears fell from her eyes and stained his shoulders.

     "My heart felt so heavy..."

     Davis caressed the back of her head, however, she sniffed as she suddenly moved back.

     *Pahh!~*

     With a wronged expression on her face, Evelynn gave Davis a light slap before hugging him again.

     Davis was flabbergasted as he opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

     "Never make me doubt you again!"

     Tightly holding his neck, she felt like she would strangle him to death, never letting him go again.

     She tightly held his neck as if she would strangle him to death.

     "Hmm..." After a silent pause, Davis just hummed with her in agreement.

     403 Evelynn“s Worry

      Davis softly kissed the side of her face, her cheek and separated from her, "Then until you verify this matter, I will not sexually approach you. After all, I don't want you to kill yourself from a misunderstanding."

     'Heh, that would turn out to be a joke!' Davis inwardly mocked himself.

     Evelynn wiped away her tears and jokingly asked, "You mean to say that it's okay for me to kill myself if you are not Davis?"

     Davis shamelessly smirked, "Of course, didn't I already tell you that I can't have you fall into another man's embrace."

     Evelynn's eyes flashed as she laughed.

     "What's so funny?" Davis turned speechless.

     Was this a laughing matter? He had just indirectly told her to die if he was not Davis. He became temporarily confused.

     "This statement just made me believe that you're absolutely my husband. Only he would be this selfish and greedy towards me..."

     Stunned, Davis laughed together with her as he saw her come back to be herself once again.

     'That's right, I am not only greedy but also selfish...'

     However, as if mocking himself, he held his thought, 'Ridiculous right? Nevertheless, let's make her doubt me again before this reconciliation get's over!'

     After all, there was another matter to confess.

     Seeing that it was the right time, Davis spoke, "Also, didn't I say that I was taking care of a kid when I was Tian Long."

     Evelynn stopped her laugh in a few seconds and then nodded her head.

     "I brought her back but she seems to be claiming that she is my woman. Don't believe her! She is lying. I didn't do anything to her either..."

     Evelynn's expression changed but she narrowed her eyes and pouted her lips when she heard the latter part of his sentence.

     That made her suspicious enough...

     "Why are you looking at me like that?" Davis extended his hands as he tried to explain himself, "Clara was with me the whole time, you can also verify this matter by asking her."

     Evelynn closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes and looked at him in an annoyed manner while her expression seemed to say, 'Just when I said don't make me doubt you ever again.'

     ======

     In Clara's room.

     Clara's room was neatly kept, however, it was normal as it could get, just like any other royal's room. There was no uniqueness to it, other than the big mirror which was at the corner of the room.

     If it weren't for it, her whole family would've thought Clara had no womanly thoughts.

     "Of course, Mo Mingzhi is lying but she did seem to be bent on being my brother's woman."

     Clara said while elegantly relaxing on the chair, her golden-like hair lustrously fell over her bosoms.

     There were two figures beside her, seemingly listening to her speak as they asked questions.

     These two were none other than Davis and Evelynn.

     Evelynn heaved a sigh of relief and brushed it off as a matter of another woman being fixated on her husband. There were already two of them as far as she knew, Princess Shirley and Ellia. As for the others, they might as well not exist in her eyes as a threat.

     Davis had already given his word that he won't take another woman as his woman as long as she didn't give permission, so she wasn't worried by these kinds of women anymore but still couldn't keep herself from doubting his words.

     After all, she had experienced the deed with Davis and she knew how tempting it was for him to see her naked body.

     If he were to see another naked woman, wouldn't he fall just like that?

     Davis's eyes twitched in annoyance.

     After he mentioned about Mo Mingzhi to Evelynn, she straightaway grasped his arms and went to Clara to verify about this matter.

     She didn't ask about the truth of his identity first but wanted to know whether if he had a deep relationship with Mo Mingzhi.

     To this, he could only sigh exasperatedly.

     Priorities were priorities...

     "Clara, your brother says that he possesses memories of his previous life, is that true?"

     Clara briefly paused wondering why her brother would reveal his past life to more people but then nodded her head in understanding, "It is indeed true. My very own eyes confirmed it and brother also seemed to know a lot about the Third Layer which further proved the fact that he has his previous life's memories."

     Evelynn turned jubilant as she glanced at Davis with the corner of her eyes but then turned to look at Clara again, "Did he have a woman in his previous life?"

     "I asked the same question to my brother once in the Third Layer and he said no, to which my eyes perceived it as the truth."

     "Oh..." Evelynn nodded her head a little as she moved back but inwardly she was on cloud nine.

     Even though her husband had a previous life, he was without a woman! This made her feel happy even though she should be feeling pity that he didn't have a proper previous life.

     Davis's expression twitched again. He thought that she would be deeply investigating his identity from all angles, even cross-checking facts but instead she seemed to be interested in his personal life.

     To this, he didn't know whether if he should laugh or cry.

     But then, Evelynn did really cross-check facts by asking him questions while having Clara verify the facts for her.

     An hour later, she got to know all she wanted to know and confirmed that he was really her husband and not some entity who had possessed her husband.

     With this, she heaved a sigh of relief. The things she feared didn't come to pass on, or she really didn't know what she would've done.

     Evelynn also understood his worries and no longer went to meet Claire for knowing his past.

     There were some things even they didn't know, and even to Clara, she made sure that she didn't ask about those questions or she would've caused inconvenience to her husband.

     Like the matter about his non-existent master, or the harmless lie he told that he regained his previous life's memories but later turned out to be true after they went to the Third Layer.

     For the latter fact, he had already told her that he needed Clara's special power to verify the truth,

     But even without that, she confirmed all the facts that she needed to confirm and was glad that Davis turned out to be himself, and not some mysterious entity.

     She patted her bosom twice and swung beside to look at Davis in a curious light as if trying to gain more secrets out of him.

     Davis just extended his hand towards jer forehead and flicked his finger.

     "Ouch!~" Evelynn held her forehead as she felt pain.

     She instantly realized that she had really placed him on a spot with her actions and questions because he had never hurt her before.

     "This is for that slap you gave me on the rooftop." Davis chuckled.

     Evelynn just inwardly sighed but pouted, putting an act of grievance before him.

     Clara looked at the two flirting with each other, wondering how far these two would go... Maybe they would strip their clothes and do the deed right here if she weren't present.

     Such a thought crossed by her mind giving her the chills and trauma she experienced in her childhood when she remembered her parents do the same.

     "Get out!"

     Davis and Evelynn froze before obediently scramming out of the room.

     404 Mo Mingzhi

      In a certain room within the Royal Castle of the Loret Empire.

     There was a woman with shoulder-length black hair stretching her waist, her body bending while displaying the flexibility of her bones.

     She exercised for a while, sweating a lot in the process before dropping her slightly plump butt on the bed, taking deep breaths as her breasts heaved.

     With a few amounts of deep breaths taken, her heaving finally stopped but her breaths were still heavy yet serene.

     This woman was none other than Mo Mingzhi, who was led into the Royal Castle by Davis and brought into a room by a few castle maids on behalf of the former's command.

     Having nothing to do, she slightly browsed her surroundings before deciding to exercise, and upon doing so, discovered the pleasant changes in her body, caused by the so-called heaven and earth energy.

     Mo Mingzhi's lips slightly curved as she thought back to the dumbfounded expressions of the maids when she said that she was Davis Loret's woman.

     She didn't know who exactly Davis was in the Royal Castle initially but from the talkative nature of the maids, she managed to garner some information.

     'Crown Prince of the Loret Empire?' Mo Mingzhi rasped her left arm with her right index finger as she held her arms below her breasts.

     She had already managed to garner the situation in the royal family with her tactful questions. Her initial conclusion graded this royal family as an amiable one.

     'How on earth...' Mo Mingzhi slightly paused as she realized that it was no longer earth but a vast cultivation world.

     She did not correct her sentence but continued, '... did Tian Long manage to change his face, no, his entire body and pose as Davis Loret? This doesn't make sense...'

     Although she more or less believed that Davis was Tian Long, there weren't many logical pieces of evidence backing this fact.

     As an investigator, she felt ashamed of herself for relying on what her heart told rather than her brain.

     'Could it be that he transmigrated and possessed the original Davis Loret as mentioned in those silly webnovels?' Her eyes mocked herself while she was unaware that she was close to the truth.

     Her expression suddenly turned solemn.

     'There is some truth in those webnovels. For example, the cultivation world...'

     However, what was the idea behind those cultivation novels. It was none other than ancient Chinese History. She had no inkling if the history of Chinese Gods had to do anything with this world.

     However, she knew that there was no Heavenly Emperor and the likes from the questions she posed to do Davis during their travel.

     'In any case, I should protect the secret of his real identity.'  She closed her eyes and nodded her head.

     Feeling thirsty, she opened her eyes and turned to look at the refreshments and food that were placed on the table.

     She stood up and walked towards the table. Once she stood in front of the table, she smelled the appetizing fragrance, making her stomach growl in hunger.

     She patted her lean midriff which was not covered by her yoga clothes. Smiling lightly, she took the vase towards her right and poured the contents into a silver cup.

     She took the cup towards her face and drank, her face brightening and her body felt like it was rejuvenating from fatigue.

     "As expected of water filled with heaven and earth energy!" Mo Mingzhi smiled and placed the cup on the table.

     With this final exercise of hers, she had completed her rehabilitation and withstood the addiction of drugs, leaving it in the dust.

     While traveling to this Royal Castle for half a month, Davis had already taught her the basics of cultivation.

     On how she should first learn to meditate without allowing any thoughts to disturb her.

     On how she should grasp the underlying meaning in the cultivation manuals before, and not only focus on the instructions of the circulation method.

     He had also imparted some of his cultivation experience to her, even reminding her to be diligent and not make haste in cultivation.

     Of course, all this was because of her constant pestering. She was not at all afraid that he would leave her behind as long as she doesn't go overboard.

     In this half a month, she had grasped how to make her mind feel empty but was only able to maintain for a minute or so, but she knew that was enough to find the meridians in her body to circulate energy.

     In fact, the heaven and earth energy present here played a huge role in her part to make her be able to sense her meridians which were located throughout her body.

     All that was left for her to explore her circulation route to the center and find her dantian which was located near the abdomen.

     At least, that was what she heard from Davis's own mouth.

     'He is so caring towards me...' Mo Mingzhi's heart fluttered, ignoring how he had rejected her advances while treating her with some distance.

     The smile that was on her face gradually receded before she thought, 'I should try practicing cultivation in a few days. As for him...'

     Mo Mingzhi pondered over this matter, actually, pondered over a lot.

     'He is a prince, not only a prince but a crown prince with a lot of perks. He should be able to marry a lot of women without restrictions since he is next in line to the throne.'

     'Even if he is not, he should still be and to marry some amount of women... I've already decided to become his mistress, and he would more or less acceptable if I keep being stubborn, even reluctantly if I insist till my death.'

     'The only obstacle then would be his wife. I don't know her attitude towards me... Will she accept or...'

     '... Silence me?'

     Mo Mingzhi narrowed her eyes, 'It's possible.'

     She had numerous scenarios pop up in her head as if she were detective trying to rebuild the crime scene.

     A hazy womanly silhouette whom she recognized as Davis's wife either made it difficult for her to live in the Royal Castle or planned to kill her every time she had the chance.

     Mo Mingzhi facepalmed herself.

     'Why am I thinking in this direction? However, if his wife really tried to kill me...'

     She pursed her lips, '...Then what should I do?'

     'Stay low for the time being until I become strong? No!'

     'That is too long! By that time, more women might surround him. I, at the least, can't be far away in terms of his lovers.'

     Mo Mingzhi's expression suddenly froze.

     A few seconds of silence passed before a wry smile lit up her face, 'Without realizing, I've already degraded myself...'

     'Maybe such is the fate of a woman who is bent on a married man.'

     Mo Mingzhi curled her lips as she mocked herself again, no longer feeling sure of her future.

     She stood and stretched again, removing the demotivating thoughts from her head.

     She silently cheered for herself, 'Mingzhi, you're older than you think you are! It's time you make him see you as a woman! Have some confidence!'

     At this time, she heard a knock on her door, prompting her to look at the source.

     Various thoughts popped up in her mind as she turned cautious, her eyes flashed wanting to see who it was behind the door but couldn't.

     After a silent pause, she moved towards the door and opened it, only to see a woman who wore a white lab coat.

     "Nice to meet you fellow earthling, my name is Meng Ying."

     Mo Mingzhi's face became blank as she turned stunned, "Huh?"

     405 Prepartion For Breakthrough Into The Sixth Stage

      Half a year passed.

     During this time, the improvements made by the Loret Family members in cultivation made were indeed massive, massive enough to make them the sole rulers of the Grand Sea Continent if Princess Isabella didn't exist.

     From Edward to Logan, almost all of them achieved breakthroughs in their cultivations, even the branch family.

     Logan And Claire both broke through the Sixth Stage with a few months of an interval between them.

     Claire broke through as soon as Davis came back from the Third Layer, and Logan followed after her in a few months.

     There imminent and close breakthroughs were only possible this soon, because, Davis had given them the 10 Low-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments to them to cultivate.

     He gave 5 of them each, and that paved the way for them to breakthrough by absorbing the condensed energy inside them, after all, Low-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments were used by Sixth Stage Essence Gathering Experts to cultivate and the energy it contained were hundred times higher than its counterpart spirit stone.

     Furthermore, after reaching the Law Manifestation Stage, Davis gave them the souvenir he brought from clearing the Earth Dragon Immortal Inheritance.

     He gave them a single Sky Grade Pill to each of them and it easily enabled their Body Tempering Cultivation to skyrocket in a few months.

     The two pills he provided them were gentle in energy, capable of easily inducing an expert to the Gold Stage as long as they were in the Silver Stage.

     And as expected, Logan broke through to the Gold Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation a month after his breakthrough to the Law Manifestation Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation.

     He shot straight past from Mid-Level Silver Stage to the Low-Level Gold Stage with the help of the pill which Davis gifted.

     As for Claire, after her breakthrough to the Law Manifestation Stage, she broke through to the Silver Stage with her own hard work and then consumed the pill which made her Silver Stage Cultivation reach the Peak-Level.

     Unfortunately, even though she used a High-Level Sky Grade Pill to breakthrough, due to certain limits, she couldn't break through to the Gold Stage.

     However, there were no side effects due to the potency of the pill but their foundations were unstable for a short period of time after their breakthrough. Nevertheless, they managed to consolidate it after a few days.

     In the Empress's Quarters, Claire's room.

     "We'll leave shortly to the First Layer in a month or so, are you ready, Davis?" Claire spoke in a gentle voice as she sat side by side with her husband, Logan, beside a neatly kept table.

     "I'm not ready yet, I have yet to break through to the Martial Ascension Stage and the Law Seed Stage," Davis replied with a shrug.

     He looked handsome, attractive but not elegant. He is 182 centimeters tall, almost near to 6 feet. He was 2 inches taller than his father.

     Hearing Davis's words, Claire furrowed her brows in worry, "Davis, your just 21 years old... Are you sure that you can cultivate further? Isn't this a little bit hasty?"

     "Mother, I already waited a lot and completely consolidated my cultivation at the Peak-Level for the respective cultivation systems other than my Soul Forging Cultivation. I was worried something would happen while you all were cultivating but you two and the others managed to breakthrough without any deviations."

     Claire and Logan couldn't help but be moved. They were about to speak when Davis simplified his words.

     "I was waiting for you all to break through properly so that's why I had temporarily delayed myself from breaking through."

     Claire pondered but her face still bore hesitation, "But Davis, for your Soul Forging Cultivation, you have your master to guide you but what about the other two cultivation systems? Even if you leave out the Essence Gathering Cultivation System, you're just quickly breaking through in the Body Tempering Cultivation System, I'm just worried."

     Davis shook his head, "Mother, I've absorbed the Blood Essence of the Earth Dragon Immortal, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to break through to the Eighth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation, so much less needs to be said about the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation which I'm about to take a step towards."

     Logan nodded his head in agreement, different from the worried Claire, "Claire, you're worrying too much. Just like Clara, he too managed to clear the Emperor Grade Trial, and besides, he knows what he's doing, probably even more than us."

     A wry smile appeared on his face, "Compared to him, our knowledge and worldview are less, and that much is obvious."

     Davis just smiled at hearing his father's comment, not bothering to show humility.

     Claire brought her finger above wanting to retort but gently sighed. After a slight pause, she spoke, "Alright, just don't overdo it..."

     "I won't." Davis replied and said, "Then within a month of my breakthrough, we'll leave, is that fine?"

     Logan and Claire nodded in agreement.

     Davis expressed, "That's settled then, and you two also settle the matters of the Empire. Don't give much trouble to Clara since she would be the one here, taking care of the Empire."

     He then left his mother's room and a few minutes later, arrived in front of the cultivation quarters built for the mainline of the royal family.

     There, he saw Clara and Diana stand outside as they stared at one of the rooms that were present there.

     "Brother!"

     Once they spotted Davis, they both shouted at the same time.

     Davis smiled as he asked, "What's going on?"

     "Edward was on the verge of a breakthrough, so he came here to break through to the Revolving Core Stage." Diana responded but she then spoke, "Brother, as you said, I was able to better control illusions once I reached the Revolving Core Stage!"

     "Is that so? Good..." He replied and turned to look at the door they were looking at, because, he just sensed fluctuations created from a breakthrough.

     'Looks like Edward broke through without any mishap...' Davis smiled as he inwardly mused.

     His little brother was just 13 years old but managed to break through to the Revolving Core Stage.

     Diana who was just 14 years old, slightly pouted as she sensed the fluctuations, "He managed to catch up to me..."

     "It's your fault for slacking off in the beginning..." Clara coldly spoke.

     Diana turned a little sad as she grasped her brother's arms, "Brother, elder sister is bullying me!"

     Davis caringly laughed, "Clara, be kind to your little siblings."

     "I'm just stating the facts." Clara avoided his gaze and replied.

     Diana let her tongue out as she provoked Clara, her eyes displaying her playfulness.

     "Hahaha..." Davis laughed at their antics.

     These two little sisters of his were absolutely stunning, even looked divine, especially Clara, as her outlines and curves were even more refined than in the past.

     As his two sisters poked fun at each other, Edward came out in a few minutes.

     When the door opened, a figure slowly floated outwards but then lost balance as it fell the moment it discovered a figure.

     "Brother, you're here..." Edward turned a little embarrassed as he stood up from the ground.

     He thought of mightily posing while poking fun at Diana but didn't think that his elder brother would be present here as well.

     "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Edward." Davis gently spoke as he looked at his little brother's features, concluding that he resembled his teenage self more if it weren't for his black hair and purple eyes.

     406 Leaving With Some Guidance

      "Hehe, if it weren't for the spirit stones you brought back brother, it would have taken a lot more time..." Edward embarrassedly spoke.

     Davis could recognize that it was not humility but the truth. He knew that their talents were not as great as Shirley or Ellia to be breaking through to the Third Stage in their 13's.

     "Haha, come here, I want to talk to you all about something." Davis waved his hands, wanting them to stand in a circle including him.

     Edward approached and stood beside the three of them.

     "I presume you three already know about the matter about mother, father, Me and my wife heading to the First Layer soon?"

     Clare, Diana, and Edward nodded their heads, but instantly, worried expressions depicted their faces.

     "Within a month or two, we decided that we will leave and it has been confirmed."

     Diana and Edward were stunned but Clara had an expression on her face which seemed to tell that she had already expected it.

     "What? No! I am also coming!" Edward spoke as he shook his head.

     Meanwhile, the mature Diana simply sighed, "I understand, we'll take care of ourselves until you all return."

     "Good." Davis responded to Diana and then turned to look at Edward, "I'm sorry little brother, the First Layer is dangerous and we are not strong enough to protect you all the time."

     Edward had his eyes moist, "But... but, I reached the Revolving Core Stage!"

     Davis shook his head, "Revolving Core Stage Cultivators are like everywhere. They are simply like the First Stage Cultivators here, a normal sight..."

     Edward trembled but then a moment later, he opened his mouth, "I understand, I'll continue to improve myself and hone my skills here."

     Davis nodded in satisfaction as he patted Edward's head, "Good!"

     He then turned to Clara, "We are leaving, so that would mean everything within the Empire would fall into your control, are you sure you can handle it?"

     "Although not as good as our father, I've also learned how to govern the Empire as an Emperor in these few months..." Clara replied with calm, "I'll also reach the Law Seed Stage within a few months, maybe around the time you all leave."

     Looking at her confident expression, Davis became relaxed.

     A Fifth Stage Cultivator at the helm was surely assuring their hearts and minds, especially when it was their own family member.

     "It's fine, as the smart sister here, I will take care of these two!" Diana cheerfully boasted by the side.

     Davis laughed at her looked at her. Though he was happy, his second little sister was awfully positive, wasn't she?

     'Wait!?' Davis pupils dilated.

     A moment later, he solemnly looked at Diana and spoke, "Diana, you aren't planning to secretly meet with Wayn Nolan while we're away, are you?"

     Diana's expression froze. She stuttered, "Wha!... What are you talking about, brother?"

     'As expected...' Davis gave off a sigh and spoke, "Are you going to disappoint father and mother?"

     Diana went tongue-tied but then her eyes started to turn moist, "I'm not..."

     Davis proceeded to hold her little hands, "Look, Diana, if you like Wayn, it's fine. Be bold and openly accept that you like him."

     Diana nodded her head after a short moment of pause. She couldn't help but hold her elder brother's hand.

     "That's right, first be truthful to your own heart. Then, after you have grown up and confirmed your emotions for him, you can be with him. I will support you. Until then, you are only allowed to see him with some royal guards following behind your back."

     Diana wiped her tears that were about to fall from her eyes as she nodded her head, "I will listen to brother's words."

     But then, she slightly hesitated and spoke, "But brother, he... He is cool... and handsome. I'm worried that some other woman will take him away... from me."

     Davis simply asked, "Does he love you?"

     Diana nodded her head hesitantly, "I think so..."

     "Then have you confessed your feelings to him?"

     Diana shook her head.

     'So they haven't even confirmed their love for each other and it is just in the process of budding, huh?' Davis mused and spoke, "Diana, you're a princess. If he can't even wait and chooses another woman over you, is there a need to continue having feelings for him anymore?"

     "If he can't even wholeheartedly chase you, is there even a need to think about him anymore?"

     Diana went stunned. She shook her head but then, she realized that her brother has a point.

     But what if Wayn really left her for another woman and stayed loyal afterward just because she couldn't get him first? Wouldn't that be really sad?

     She explained her doubts to her elder brother Davis.

     Davis went tongue-tied as he had no answer to this question. Indeed, if that really happened, then wouldn't he be the one who separated them in the name of being proper?

     This was a paradoxical question and there was no right answer to love.

     Unlike Clara, he could see that Diana had a high EQ. She even knew to a certain degree on how one's emotions flowed.

     Thinking for a bit, he sighed but then he spoke, "I truly have no answer to your question."

     Diana became worried.

     "That's why it was said that all is fair in love and war. Stealing, deception, scheming, manipulating, plundering, betraying and many more, but all that is still despicable and something your brother absolutely detests." He said and stood up.

     "In any case, all I'm saying is to be sure of what you're doing before you leap into the unknown, do you understand? Davis asked but then said, "It's fine if you don't understand now, but I know you will eventually."

     As expected, Diana nodded her head in confusion.

     He took a few steps towards one of the doors and said, "I'm entering closed-door cultivation for a few days. If anyone asks, tell them not to disturb me during this time."

     Opening the door, he entered inside and closed it.

     Diana stood as she had a complex expression on her face. In truth, she didn't consider much and enjoyed Wayn's company a lot. His smile was heartwarming and she knew that he was righteous enough to stop her from doing any form of mischiefs.

     But what her brother said also made her realize that what she imagined wouldn't come to be true unless she entirely stopped meeting him

     'In any case, my elder brother has indirectly approved of him. All I got to do is make sure that he stays loyal to me by visiting him with guards protecting me. As long as I do this, it can't be considered that I have disappointed my parents, right?' Diana inwardly formed a plan for her future. She liked him and wouldn't give up easily!

     Clara looked at her little sister as her eyes flashed, "Diana, don't you dare disappoint brother either. He is always looking out for us."

     Diana became meek in front of her strict elder sister but still opened her mouth, "Of course, that goes without saying."

     Edward looked at his sister in utter disbelief. There was such a thing happening and he didn't know one bit about it?

     He couldn't believe his ears. The conversation that underwent just now undoubtedly meant that his elder sister liked that brat from the Nolan Family known as Wayn.

     'So that's where she disappears to when sneaks out of the Royal Castle...' He slowly understood, why at times she disappeared for no reason from the eyes of her guards from time to time.

     407 Tripartite Alliance“s Cautionary Measures

      Tripartite Alliance Territory, West Territory Gate.

     At the west end of the Tripartite Alliance Territory lies the Territory Gate which led to the Alstriem Family Territory.

     Numerous figures were moving about to and fro, entering and exiting while the guards deployed guarded the huge transparent gate that stood tall while covering a singular area in a vertical direction, stretching to the skies.

     However, the transparent gate was only 1,000 meters in height. As for how far it's wide, it was no more than 100 meters wide, making it look like a vertical rectangular gate.

     Not only were there guards at the level of the Fifth Stage, there were even more powerhouses at the Sixth Stage and the Seventh Stage but were in less number.

     The people who were traveling were mostly at the Fifth Stage while or above, but the latter was rare.

     The transparent gate which had an opaque red outline to it stretched to the skies for about 1,000 meters, its majestic undulations making people subconsciously lower their heads in nervousness.

     Besides the transparent gate, the surroundings were covered by thick smog that blocked one's sight and sense, including Soul Sense. The thick smog covered the entirety of the space, from the deep surface till the skies.

     If it weren't for the smog, people could freely travel between territories as there wouldn't be anything of much blocking them, like the transparent gate.

     The transparent gate didn't block them to be exact but made them be able to travel through territories as it was found later unlike the smog which divided the entire First Layer into 52 territories.

     Rumor had it when smog descended from the heavens, quelling the chaos of the First Layer, the territory gate and the other territory gates were suddenly established in a space-shattering event, but there were no credible pieces of evidence since it became a myth after a long passage of time.

     As for the veracity and the truth of the myth, maybe the Emperor Grade Powers in the Large Territories might know of it.

     A few kilometers away from the transparent gate, there was a town of merchants, a kind of marketplace that existed solely for buying and selling all kinds of goods for convenience and money-making purposes.

     People who came from the Alstreim Family Territory try to purchase or sell goods and try to profit from it. It was the same for the merchants looking for a profit in the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

     There were all sorts of handymen present there and they engage in a petty and cheap battle of wits and even deceit to gain more wealth.

     At the Territory Gate, numerous people traveled to and fro, entering the transparent gate to make it to the other side and vice versa. They pay the toll of a single Mid-Level Spirit Stone to gain the right to make it to the other side.

     Everyone knew that this gate was solely owned by the Alstriem Family Territory, and so they made the profits from allowing people to exit and enter their territory.

     One Mid-Level Spirit Stone for access... Low-Level Spirit Stones weren't allowed in the transaction since the former had more weight. If one had to pay using Low-Level Spirit Stones, then they would have to pay double the amount.

     2,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones.

     The collection obtained from holding and possessing these gates itself bore plenty of wealth. It was no doubt if a money tree were to exist, they were none other than these territory gates which could be occupied and supervised.

     However, the eyes which were gazing at this location were something only the powerful could cast. If someone dared to raid this place, an Emperor Grade Power would step out to descend judgment.

     In this case, it was none other than the Alstreim Family as they were the ones who were in control of this Territory Gate.

     Among the numerous people who exited the transparent territory gate and walked out to the Tripartite Alliance Territory, there was a middle-aged man.

     His appearance was frail but handsome. He looked princely even while looking sick yet the people beside him automatically kept their distance between him as they felt uncomfortable, not at his pale appearance but from the vague undulations he emanated.

     He paused for a while before looking in the southern direction. With a single step, he soared towards the air and flew towards the horizon.

     After flying for a few kilometers at the speed of a kilometer per second, the middle-aged man glanced at the North and East direction before suddenly bolting off into the southern horizon, leaving a sonic boom behind as his figure disappeared from anyone who had been viewing him at the time.

     The speed he had taken off created a resounding boom, his speed reaching the over the range of over 10,000 kilometers per second.

     The people who had just been faintly viewing him with curiosity had their eyes bulge in fear and trepidation.

     Although they couldn't measure the speed since the person they were observing disappeared from their view in an instant, they could at least guess that it was an expert above the Seventh Stage, or maybe even the Eighth Stage.

     They quickly moved their gaze away once they realized this as they didn't want to get involved with trouble. However, some also of their eyes flashed in a knowing light.

     After all, there had been a ban placed on Eighth Stage Experts from entering the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

     In any case, if trouble were to ensue, they knew that they would quickly die just from the resulting onslaught that was not even targeted at them in the first place.

     They felt that they should leave this matter to the Tripartite Alliance to take care of but some others didn't and wanted to report.

     And as expected, a few minutes later, greedy individuals and opportunists reported this matter to the Tripartite Alliance and by doing so, hoped to get some rewards.

     The Tripartite Alliance had no idea that such a being entered and dispatched their remaining Seventh Stage Experts from the headquarters to warn the intruder to exit peacefully.

     From the information they managed to gather, they still didn't know if the intruder was a Seventh Stage Expert or Eighth Stage Expert, so they had chosen to settle this peacefully if it was the latter.

     If it was the former, then that would only mean a battle would ensue, unless if the intruder possessed a powerful background. In that case, they would let them go, whether scot-free or through compensation, it depended upon the background of the intruder.

     Such cases were common in the past and intruders from the common background would be killed without mercy unless they pledged their lives to the Tripartite Alliance by having a Soul Seal placed on them.

     But the Tripartite Alliance three branches were simultaneously startled.

     They thought that there had been only a single intruder but they received reports indicating that there were two other intruders from the other two territory gates, which belonged to the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect.

     Realizing that the situation was slipping out of their hands, the three branches in the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters quickly contacted their true headquarters in their own territories to dispatch Eighth Stage Experts.

     Surprisingly, their request was not heeded and they were denied even if they reported that the situation was dire. Left with no choice, they were forced to search for those three intruders just by themselves.

     However, in the upcoming days, no matter how they searched, they couldn't find the relevant individuals which would finally anger the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters, making them dispatch numerous people to suspicious and important places.

     They also sent a Grand Elder level character to take care of the latent problem which was none other than the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

     408 Three Major Powers

      Two days later.

     At the southern end of the Tripartite Alliance Territory. Unlike the other three directions, there existed no territory gate in this direction.

     There were only numerous mountains and hills, completely surrounded by desert, which has given off a threatening feeling of desolation and loneliness. This was also the reason why this region was named as the Desolate Plains.

     The sky was shining blue but the atmosphere was so hot from the scorching sands that even smoke filled the surroundings. The resulting heat produced vapor as it evaporated above.

     Suddenly, a figure appeared above in an instant. He stood there and gazed at the mountains in front of him before waiting for a while.

     Time passed.

     That 'while' he waited lasted for another day before two other figures appeared beside him.

     "You two took long enough..." Spoke the man who first arrived, his countenance slightly pale while the scorching hot land did nothing to him when it could make Seventh Stage Experts uncomfortable.

     From the two other figures who appeared, a middle-aged man spoke, "We already know that the difference in each direction to this place is vastly different, so why are you trying to take a jab at us for no reason, Dian Alstreim?"

     He looked strong, tall and rough on the edges but was still attractive enough to be looked twice by women, especially if they know about his status.

     "Spare your smart words, Xanbas. Your Martial Overlord cultivation is as useless as ever." Dian Alstreim indifferently spoke, as if doing this was just a chore for him.

     The last figure who was silent all this time was a middle-aged lady with a white veil. She spoke nothing but stepped forward and moved ahead towards the mountains.

     Suddenly, her figure disappeared as a ripple spread out as if distorting the space before the waves vanished.

     Dina Alstreim and Xanbas, both of their pupils shook as they had her figure etched on to their souls. She was so elegant and gorgeous as the snow that they would give almost 90 percent of their lives to earn her favor.

     Xanbas snorted as he followed her trail while he too disappeared into the mountains.

     Dina Alstreim had a calm expression on his face as if nothing could faze him. He had waited here for a whole day and during that time, he did absolutely nothing.

     The level of calmness he achieved had already peaked for his current cultivation. In other words, his willpower was undoubtedly tempered to a great level.

     Even so, he still couldn't take his thoughts off that woman.

     He took a step forward while showing no emotions and reached the place where they disappeared.

     His mouth stretching in a sigh while his figure vanished into the mountains.

     ======

     In a palace-like structure, an empty hall.

     Seated below the middle of a chandelier that was above is a middle-aged man.

     He sat crossed legged and seemed to be cultivating with a small object in his hands. It looked like an ingredient, kind of like fruit.

     The small object glowed as it shrank at a faster rate, its efficacy coursing towards the man's glabella. The middle-aged man's eyes quivered while he let out a groan as if experiencing pleasure.

     A few minutes passed like this and three figures appeared in the hall but stayed silent as the did nothing. They only patiently waited, not daring disturb the person who was cultivating.

     Soon, the small object in the person's palm turned into ashes while the remains fell over the surface, scattering all over the place.

     The person opened his eyes as he lightly laughed, "For all of you three to be here at the same time in your soul bodies, it looks like you three are as cautious as ever."

     The middle-aged woman replied first, "We expect to discuss our contract in a place of fairness, so it is not too much to ask your esteemed Soul Emperor to exit your grand abode."

     His eyes glinted as his figure shook, "Very well."

     The next moment, his body disappeared from the place as he appeared outside. The soul bodies conjured by the three also turned into three specks of light before returning to their fleshy bodies.

     The man who was called Soul Emperor casually cast his glance over to the three of them before his gaze paused on the middle-aged lady, "How about our individual deal, Tirea Snow? Have you considered my proposal?"

     "Let's talk about that after we have discussed the main issue." Tirea Snow calmly spoke. Her white robes fluttered and snow glinted over the scorching mountains below. Her name, as well as her temperament, were one with snow.

     The Soul Emperor laughed as he shook his head, "Thousand years ago, you all three managed to discover my presence in this Desolate Plains due to a single careless mistake of mine. Now, forgot about that, I have called you all three here for the matter of fulfilling our Blood Soul Contract."

     "So, esteemed Soul Emperor, did you finally recover from your injuries?" Xanbas asked outright without even bothering to mince his words.

     He was straightforward, aggressive but wise.

     The man who was repeatedly called Soul Emperor shook his head, "Not quite..."

     Tirea Snow and Xanbas were both startled. Their expressions changed.

     "Then why have you called us three?" Dina Alstreim spoke with a casual tone but inwardly he was just as angry at the other two.

     The Soul Emperor laughed again, "Why are you all so impatient? I did recover my cultivation but my injuries are still present..."

     All three of them turned startled.

     Recovered my cultivation?

     Suddenly, their expressions changed as all three of them shuddered momentarily. They could feel the soul force and pressure the Soul Emperor emanated.

     Their eyes narrowed while they shouted in their hearts, 'High-Level Emperor Soul Stage!!!'

     Trepidation filled their hearts and suddenly, the Soul Emperor appeared a little closer to them before moving in the direction of Tirea Snow.

     Tirea Snow tried to move but the invisible shackles that bound her mentality made her indecisive and unable to move in a split second.

     The next moment, the Soul Emperor arrived in front of her and spoke with a lustful expression on his face, "Tirea Snow, you are a woman who is worthy to bear my descendants. I want you!"

     His words echoed like honey but she knew that it was a poison.

     'A Soul Technique!' Tirea Snow harrumphed and revolved her cultivation to the extreme.

     The technique broke as she came out of her reverie, only to see her being protected by the other two men from her neighboring territories.

     Her heart didn't seem to waver but instead, she knew they all three were in this together.

     The three of them were none other than the unofficial leaders of the Alstreim Family, Towering Cloud Hall, and Falling Snow Sect.

     Tirea Snow is none other than the ruling ancestor of the Falling Snow Sect. She had once been the Sect Leader but gave her position to her successor as she retired to watch over the Falling Snow Sect behind the scenes.

     The same went for Dina Alstreim and Xanbas who were respectively the ancestors from the Alstreim Family and Towering Cloud Hall.

     Thousand years ago, the three powers conquered the Tripartite Alliance Territory which was previously called the Desolate Territory.

     At that time, these three ancestors managed to discover an anomaly coming from the southern end of the Desolate Territory.

     Feeling confused, disturbed and curious, they decided to check out the anomaly which could threaten their rule and found that an injured Soul Emperor had been hiding in this place.

     A battle instantly took place but the Soul Emperor seemed to be at the Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage which greatly suppressed them even though the Soul Emperor was supposed to be injured.

     Fighting to a deadlock, the two parties came to an agreement as they settled their fight with a Blood Soul Contract.

     409 Dark Speck Of Ligh

      The content of the Blood Soul Contract was for the three of them to keep silent about the existence of the injured Soul Emperor and not tell another soul about it, even going to the lengths of banning Eighth Stage Experts from entering the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

     As for the Soul Emperor, he promised them riches equaling that of a lone Emperor Grade Territory and a way to break into the King Soul Stage!

     Clouded by greed, selfishness, and an urge to improve themselves to an even higher level, they were tempted and softened to sign the Blood Soul Contract.

     Besides, they didn't know who this Soul Emperor was neither did they know about the other Soul Emperors in detail. They didn't even know about the events happening in the Middle and Large Territories, much less the Soul Emperors who were elusive and secretive to the extreme.

     Soul Emperors were highly sought out by normal cultivators because of the numerous techniques the former knew. They were not only revered but also feared!

     The three of them could not offend an unknown Soul Emperor for no reason, so they were even more tempted to sign the Blood Soul Contract.

     After a day of contemplation, they gave in to their greed and signed the Blood Soul Contract.

     But now...

     Tirea Snow gritted her small teeth as she moved back a little, keeping a certain distance from the other two as her eyes flashed with a cautious light.

     Since the power gap had been widened, between them and the Soul Emperor, it was unknown if the other two would suddenly backstab her and offer her up to the Soul Emperor.

     It didn't take much but her actions certainly did create a crevice in their shallow unity, created by the situation they faced at hand.

     She hurriedly sent them a Soul Transmission, "You two, now that the Soul Emperor is at High-Level Emperor Soul Stage, the Blood Soul Contract is rendered useless!"

     Dina Alstreim and Xanbas similarly sent a reply.

     "We have no choice but to battle again to injure him as we did so a thousand years ago!"

     "Although the chances of us winning are extremely low, it wouldn't be easy for him to take us three down any time soon, especially when he is still injured!

     The Blood Soul Contract they signed was at High-Level Emperor Grade which could affect Ninth Stage Experts but only to the level of Low and Mid. Although it had a chance of affecting High-Level Ninth Stage Expert, it was only a probability, not an assurance.

     As for High-Level and Peak-Level, only a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Blood Soul Contract could affect, and that too for the latter, it only had a chance depending upon its effectiveness.

     Tirea Snow frowned and her brows were narrowed. Her beautiful yet distressed appearance caused the Soul Emperor to let out a laugh.

     "Beauty Snow, it's fine to talk through Soul Transmission in front of others but in front, a higher stage Soul Cultivator, especially an Emperor Soul Cultivator, don't you realize that it's meaningless?"

     "Blood Soul Contract rendered useless? Battle again to injure him? If we work together, he can't beat us? Hahaha," The Soul Emperor mockingly laughed as he pointed at the three of them.

     The three of them were solemn and didn't lose themselves in rage due to his provocation. Instead, their hearts were filled with a sense of trepidation and desperation.

     Even though Xanbas said it like that, he perfectly understood the gap dividing the levels of the Ninth Stage were enormous, even many times wider than the gap separating the First Stage to the Peak of the Eighth Stage.

     Normally, a Low-Level Ninth Stage Cultivator would find it extremely difficult and even impossible to face a Mid-Level Ninth Stage Cultivator.

     Thousand years ago, the only reason they were able to fight the Soul Emperor to a deadlock was due to the fact that he was injured and they combined their powers, otherwise, it was unknown if their three territories would've been unanimously occupied by this rogue Soul Emperor.

     "You're taking this too far. As an esteemed Soul Emperor, you're not following your words of promise."

     "Even if the Blood Soul Contract is not in effect, as a Soul Emperor, your esteemed self should still follow your own words, otherwise, your reputation would fall to the gutter."

     "Even if we're bound to fight and die, or escape, you certainly wouldn't since we have our own ways to inform the entire 52 Territories about your existence in an instant!"

     Dina Alstreim, Xanbas, and Tirea Snow spoke respectively as they placed their cards on the table.

     To their words, the Soul Emperor laughed again.

     "Hahaha, the Blood Soul Contract is indeed rendered useless, but that is only to my case. As for you three, do you think that you will be able to handle the backlash from disobeying the conditions I imposed on you three in the Blood Soul Contract?"

     This point, they knew but ignored it because it would become a disadvantage to them if they specifically mentioned this.

     They instinctively knew that they would meet their deaths, or even a worse future if they didn't play their cards right.

     Both the groups stood their ground, floating in the skies as they stared at each other. Undulations spread, threatening to destroy the surrounding mountains.

     The Soul Emperor also frowned inwardly, thinking if they would really sacrifice their lives to inform the world about his existence.

     'That would be a problem...' He silently mused but then smiled as his gaze fell on Tirea Snow, "Beauty Snow if you were to become my woman, I promise to not to harm the three of you or your territories."

     "Over my dead body!" Tirea Snow coldly spoke, enunciating each of her words as she looked at his languid yet lusty eyes. His countenance was splendid even though he was pale but she refused to be in a relationship with this Soul Emperor who seemed to lust after her.

     "Then I have no choice but to..." Just when the Soul Emperor thought of declaring that he would make her his slave, he went quiet.

     Lifting up his head, he saw a vague dark light shine upon the land from the skies. The illusory dark light only lasted for an instant before it disappeared.

     The dark light was nothing but a speck when seen from their height, but he could somehow feel that it was slowly expanding and growing as if it was a living thing.

     A sense of uneasiness enveloped him, especially his heart as he narrowed his eyes.

     The other three also noticed the unusualness of a certain point in the sky and their faces also scrunched up in confusion, even an uneasy type of distress filled their souls.

     "What is that?" Tirea Snow involuntarily spoke as her heart trembled. She had never seen anything like this nor did the others, seeing that they have no choice of words to reply.

     The Soul Emperor turned to look at them with his face no longer jovial but solemn.

     He threw a spatial ring to them, "Here, there should be a few methods to help you three break into the King Soul Stage. As for the riches I promised, I would grant them after my injuries have been completely healed."

     He snorted in derision, "Consider yourselves lucky!"

     The three ancestors of the three major powers were stunned into silence, their minds reeling in confusion.

     He turned around and disappeared into the mountains, leaving the three of them muddled. Even as some moments passed, none of them spoke.

     It wasn't that they were completely stunned by the Soul Emperor's actions, it was because they didn't what to feel of this spatial ring anymore.

     Should they be ecstatic to have gained a way to break through to the King Soul Stage or be worried about the dark speck of light on the ceiling of the sky, threatening to cast them with the unknown?

     Watching the reaction of the Soul Emperor, it could be seen that this black speck of light in the sky was no ordinary matter.

     The three of them looked at each other before heading to their respective territories to handle the inevitable chaos that would ensue.

     410 Poisoning Ruthlessly

      Unknown Territory, Unknown City.

     In a particular grand residence which hosted a celebration.

     Inside the luxurious and lavish Banquet Hall which was wide enough to contain more than 1,000 people at once. Chandeliers hung high, lit with candles on each petal. Numerous tables carried food on top of it, waiting for people to take a sumptuous part in it.

     Some of the food was eaten...

     However, the people in this residence were coughing blood all over the surface while their skin displayed signs of withering as well as puss seeping out of tumors that formed all over their bodies.

     Horrifying screams echoed, bringing despair and hatred into the banquet hall.

     The family in this residence was supposed to celebrate their ancestor's birthday, but tragically, events didn't occur according to their plan.

     Except for two people who didn't belong to this family, almost all of them who belonged to this family were collapsed while coughing out blood, their vitality waning out.

     Only one person other than the two people was able to stay conscious and ignore the effects of the poison.

     It was none other than the ancestor of the said family.

     The ancestor kneeled while trying to dissipate the effects of the poison but was held down by another power that seemed to have an advantage over him, over his soul to be exact.

     "Why!? Who are you!? When have we offended you!?" The ancestor's face contorted in torment as he screamed in grieving throes.

     The family he had nurtured painstakingly for over 1,000 years was dead, no, was going to die soon from the deadly poison.

     He could see them writhing on the floor, their expressions filled with pain.

     He saw one of the women looking at him for help, her lips moving 'save me, save me' but no sound was heard.

     Blood kept leaking out from the woman's mouth, her eyes innocent and pure, invoking one's desire to protect.

     Suddenly, her body twitched as her face contorted. Her eyes which were pure shot a venomous gaze at the ancestor as if she were cursing him for eternity.

     The ancestor who saw it clenched his teeth as he tried to stand up, trying to escape but the astounding pressure of the soul force left him reeling into the abyss.

     His crooked eyes turned to look over the two women in front of him, who were solely responsible for the tragedy that occurred here. The gaze in their eyes told him that disaster was imminent for him.

     Resentment filled his heart as he spat out, "Bitches!"

     A woman in red hair frowned when her brows narrowed. Her eyes looked devilishly charming but her looks were covered behind a veil. Her curves were ample, not big or small.

     She held a sword in her hands that radiated a fiery undulations, trying to unveil its majesticness, but seeing that there was no use for it, she kept it inside her spatial ring.

     She panned her gaze towards her side and spoke in a confused tone, "Why did we use poison?"

     A white-haired woman stood by the side, her gaze cold and serene as if what was happening in front of her didn't seem wrong. It didn't faze her, unlike the red-haired woman who didn't like the sight in front of her, indulging herself in complex feelings.

     Her pale lips moved, "It's better if I don't taint my hands with the blood of these scums who pose to be a family when all they do is depraved acts."

     An icy smile broke out in her face but was hidden by a veil, "Besides, using poison in a banquet seems to get people to poison themselves, how convenient."

     Her gaze suddenly changed, the expression in her face contorted before she turned back and walked towards a grand chair which was designed like a throne.

     That was where the ancestor sat, and beside the grand chair was a table.

     The white-haired woman stood before the table and cast her gaze over to the medium-sized jade box that was placed on top of the table.

     She extended her hand, grasped it with her palms as she opened it.

     Blinding light shone before the radiance disappeared.

     Sitting in the jade box was a palm-sized triangular-shaped colorless crystal.

     Her facial expression contorted again before an icy smile lit up her face, "We got what we came here for..."

     "You did this all to get a High-Level Spirit Stone Fragment!?" The ancestor spat out these words with an incredulous expression on his face. His mind was reeling in disbelief.

     Although it was an item that he acquired through illegal means like blackmail, stealing it from a rich casanova with a high background, he was willing to exchange it for a high price.

     However, he was thorough with his methods. He had gotten the item by forcing the casanova to sell the High-Level Spirit Stone Fragment through auction.

     If he could trade this piece of spirit stone fragment for the lives of his entire family, he felt he would've given it without hesitation. However, the reality could be different.

     If he wasn't poisoned, maybe he could've relied on a despicable method to turn the tides around by using the lives of his family as a sacrifice.

     The white-haired woman panned her gaze towards the ancestor, "Who told you that this is a High-Level Spirit Stone Fragment?"

     The white-haired woman suddenly grasped the object in her hands and shook it while imbuing her ice-cold energy.

     The palm-sized triangular-shaped crystal visibly contorted before it changed into a white semi-gaseous state, tentacles wringing out as it tried to escape the white-haired woman's grasp.

     Its outgrowth did nothing to the one who held it in place. It could be seen that the item possessed no offensive capabilities.

     "Hundred Shaped Wistful Cloud..." The white woman smiled as she explained, "Having the ability to change shapes as its name indicates, it rather tries to escape from the moment it is born through the congregation of heaven and earth energy in the atmosphere."

     The ancestor went tongue-tied as he absentmindedly uttered, "An ingredient?"

     "A King Grade Ingredient indeed, which can also be used to concoct Emperor Grade Treasures."

     The ancestor's heart trembled as he temporarily forgot about his own situation in desire. He couldn't help but ask, "What are its uses?"

     The white-haired woman smiled and didn't explain its properties but rather the result, "When directly consumed, it can help one breakthrough to Supreme Soul Stage."

     The ancestor's heart almost stopped! Greed filled his eyes as he looked at the magnificent ingredient with bloodshot eyes.

     He had such a treasure but didn't know about it!?

     "Of course, the prerequisite for one is to be at the Sixth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation; Peak-Level of Mature Soul Stage, just like I am..."

     The white-haired woman waved her free hand, making the ancestor experience immense pressure on his soul.

     Without being able to circulate energy, he lost control of the flow of energy traversing in his meridians and instantly failed to suppress the poison.

     The poison simultaneously erupted!

     *Pui!*

     The ancestor spat a mouthful of blood as he collapsed, his body twitching from immense pain. He tried to escape with his soul body since he had an Elder Soul Stage Cultivation but failed due to the immense pressure cast by the white-haired woman.

     His gaze was filled with horror, no longer throwing his greedy eyes over to the Hundred Shaped Wistful Cloud. He simultaneously circulated his Peak-Level Law Dominion Cultivation but failed to curb the poison haunting his body.

     Soon, tumors formed and exploded, spreading puss which created more tumors as it kept repeating the cycle.

     The red-haired woman looked at this morbid sight, her gaze moving away in disgust and pity.

     411 Ice And Fire Duo

      The red-haired woman knew that the poison wouldn't act soon on a Seventh Stage Cultivator as their energy would suppress it but if their souls were suppressed, making them unable to do anything, it was the same as being left in a defenseless state.

     For the nth time in her heart, the red-haired woman understood the importance of Soul Forging Cultivation which was also the weakest cultivation system she trained in, amounting to nothing more than the Third Stage, Young Soul Stage.

     Soul Cultivators were feared! Highly respected! This never changed even in the higher stages since they possessed mystical and elusive means!

     "Don't worry, a while ago, I sprinkled some more grams of the King Grade Poison cultivated from the Maggot Worm King we bought in the recent auction, right in your meal." The white-haired woman coldly laughed.

     The ancestor's face changed, his face was one of understanding. He too had attended the auction and that was where he also got this disguised High-Level Spirit Stone Fragment from the casanova that he blackmailed.

     It had been along with numerous other Fragments to avoid detection, so the one he received happened to be the Hundred Shaped Wistful Cloud.

     "You! You two are the Ice and Fire Duo of Beryl City!"

     "What use is it knowing before you die?" The white-haired woman coldly spoke before she waved her hands again as a thought formed in her head, 'Besides, we will shortly leave...'

     An Ice Blade formed before her figure, instantly shooting towards the ancestor who had his eyes wide from horror.

     *Slash!~*

     His severed head flew in an arc before it fell on the floor, his horrified pupils glazing over the venomous gaze of the woman who was none other than his granddaughter.

     'In the end, both you and I failed to survive... My vicious granddaughter....'

     Only this thought remained in his head before his consciousness vanished into nothingness.

     The white-haired woman didn't even bother to look at their ending as her gaze landed on the Hundred Shaped Wistful Cloud, "A pity that its not a Thousand Shaped Wistful Cloud, or else I would have a chance to enter the Eighth Stage in a few years."

     The red-haired woman's nose twitched from the putrid smell emanating in the Banquet Hall. She frowned and paused for a second but then waved her hands.

     Wisps of fire flew in multiple directions, landing in the disgusting corpses. The corpses abruptly blazed, flames soaring high but failed to affect the surroundings.

     "It's not contagious." The white-haired woman coldly laughed when she saw what the red-haired woman did. She cast her gaze over to the wiggling tentacles and saw the white-colored gas cloud trying to escape.

     "Shirley, protect me. I'm going to absorb the Hundred Shaped Wistful Cloud and break into the Supreme Soul Stage."

     The white-haired woman promptly sat down and shoved the white gas cloud into her mouth without waiting for a reply.

     "Ellia! St..."

     *Boom!~*

     It was as if a silent explosion resounded in their hearts, their hearts resonating with heaven and earth energy.

     Shirley only felt the resonation in her soul to be illusory. She then noticed the white gas cloud move above towards Ellia's head. Simultaneously, Ellia's eyes radiated blinding light, prompting her to take a step back from the fear of the unknown.

     Shirley wanted to stop Ellia from consuming the King Grade Ingredient in this place. She, at the least, wanted to stop her from creating a commotion in this place as her instincts told that it would be better to do it in their own residence.

     She sighed again for the nth time in her heart.

     It was more like she was the maid and Ellia was the princess.

     'Is she really Davis's maid or another entity altogether?'

     Shirley had this doubt for more than two years, ever since the time she had accepted Ellia's invitation. She couldn't fathom what exactly was happening to Ellia.

     At one moment, her gaze would turn aggressive. Another moment, her gaze would turn cold, her words icy and mocking.

     The former gave Shirley the feeling that it was undoubtedly Ellia while the latter made her think that Ellia had another entity within her.

     Shirley's gaze gradually turned complex as she continued to scrutinize Ellia.

     This woman who was supposed to be inferior to her had long surpassed her in every way she can possibly imagine.

     'She has beauty, strength, wits, wariness, Davis's favor....' Shirley's brows suddenly narrowed, 'Wait! If she had his favor, why is she traveling with me instead of him?'

     'Isn't it more safe and efficient to travel with Davis rather than me? Why me?' Shirley found this discrepancy.

     Nevertheless, she vaguely knew that Ellia and Davis weren't in good terms from the time when Davis came to Ashton Empire's capital.

     Shirley knew that she was nothing more than garbage, a piece of luggage that Ellia carried with her.

     No matter which fight they got into, it was resolved by Ellia in a matter of minutes. She did absolutely nothing other than tag around while taking advantage to gain resources and cultivate.

     'I'm like a parasite...'

     Shirley mocked herself as a wry while lot up her face.

     She had reached the Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage from Low-Level Law Seed Stage in these three short years.

     Other than that, she had also trained her Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation but that didn't amount to much as they were both at the Third Stage.

     Her gaze which never strayed away from Ellia relaxed, 'Sigh, how is she cultivating so fast? Does she face no obstructions on cultivation as her talent is too high?'

     'She's younger than me yet achieved Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation."

     'As for Soul Forging Cultivation, she's trying to break into the Supreme Soul Stage from her Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation...' Shirley could only let out a helpless chuckle as a sense of inferiority embraced her heart.

     Nevertheless, if someone said that there isn't anything wrong with Ellia, she definitely wouldn't believe it!

     She had been observing Ellia for over three years! It didn't take much to notice her abnormality but it took her all to not be curious about it.

     The last time she posed a question about her abnormality was the time when she almost died from fright. That event was the main reason why she no longer displayed arrogance in front of Ellia.

     From that moment on, she confirmed her doubts that this Ice Queen was no longer Ellia but another entity.

     If not, how was it that Ellia knew a wide variety of ingredients, many forms of techniques, able to get past the watchful eyes of the major powers, able to command her like a princess?

     Shirley shook her head and waited for an hour, pondering over the matter before eventually giving up. Her mind gradually shifted to another person who refused to get out of her heart.

     After displaying her determination in the Fire Phoenix Trial, it became difficult to extricate herself from her obsession. Instead, it became even more painful for her to hold herself up. If it weren't for Ellia's invitation at that time, she felt that she would've made contact with Davis to convince him. However, she was insecure, hence she felt that it would be better to follow Ellia to the First Layer.

     The latter had already displayed her strength before going to the First Layer, which boosted her confidence.

     Yes, she felt that she had more of a chance to be with him if she were powerful than Davis. At that time, with her allure as a strong and beautiful woman, would he reject her?

     Such thinking led her to increase her strength by coming to this place.

     412 Origin Of The Dark Speck Of Ligh

      'I wonder if he already has children with Evelynn...' Such a thought flashed past in Shirley's head before she shook it away.

     Even if it were the case, it did nothing to curb her obsession.

     As the Ice and Fire Duo in Beryl City, they had a stark reputation and were famous for their mysterious identity, causing numerous suitors to appear.

     Each and one of them were stronger, maybe even attractive than Davis, but her heart still couldn't help but fall towards Davis, his face appearing in almost every one of her dreams.

     Ever since she felt his touch when she was poisoned at that time, her heart was in shackles and it only became worse with that kiss which she could feel again from time to time.

     Of course, she knew that Davis had a master who was probably above the Ninth Stage since that mysterious senior was able to enter the Grand Sea Continent while the Ninth Stage Powerhouses could not, but that wasn't her intent.

     She wanted to love him, wanted to be loved by him, there was no change in her mindset till now, not even after meeting all those young masters who were pompous and arrogant to the extreme.

     Shirley's absentminded gaze eventually fell on Ellia before she exclaimed in realization, 'So Soon!?'

     There was finally a reaction from Ellia as her body shook while she floated in her cross-legged position.

     Ellia opened her eyes as her lips curved up in a few seconds. She knew she had stepped into the Seventh Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation, Supreme Soul Stage.

     A breakthrough in the latter stages normally took hours and days, even years to achieve, but she knew why she had achieved a breakthrough this easily.

     "Our soul was once stronger than the Supreme Soul Stage, don't you remember, Ellia?" Ellia's mouth didn't move, however, her voice only echoed in her Soul Sea.

     "I know... You don't have to point it out, Myria. We share the same memories....' Came a languid reply yet it quickly turned into one of annoyance, "Why haven't you still found the way to separate our souls?"

     "Just because we want to find it doesn't mean that we can find it..." Myria laughed.

     "We need to find our way back to..." Just before Myria completed her sentence, she instantly went silent.

     She quickly turned her head behind as her eyes widened into two bright saucers.

     Shadows entrenched as it covered her view. A giant pupil with a dark hue gazed at her as if it was going to swallow her whole. It exhibited illusory traits before it quickly disappeared into the void.

     Myria's widened eyes turned normal. The breath that she had been holding was released into the air like a sigh.

     However, her gaze turned solemn, "Someone managed to locate my existence?"

     The mysterious eye wasn't there, wasn't behind her, but she knew that it was only a feeling of being perceived.

     "What?" Ellia became shocked, "Why am I not able to not perceive it!?"

     "Probably because it is targeted at me, not you..." Myria solemnly spoke as she guessed.

     Ellia turned silent. She pondered over this matter before becoming joyous, "Doesn't this also mean that you and I are separate entities in a deep sense? Maybe we can truly separate!"

     Myria blinked but then chuckled.

     "Maybe..."

     Suddenly, Myria's gaze froze. She shot a look towards the skies as the roof collapsed unable to bear her icy gaze. Her gaze penetrated the hollow roof as she saw the black veil that suddenly looked as if it were going to descend upon them.

     The black veil covered the entire sky as an illusion before it turned into a black dot in the skies.

     "Someone is actually trying to rip apart the space of this world to enter?" Myria shouted as she finally lost her bearings. She stood up as her eyes shook from trepidation, 'Could it be?'

     Someone had divined her location! It was obvious when the mysterious eyes showed up behind her illusorily but...

     She thought it would be a Ninth Stage Expert skilled in divination in the First Layer who managed to notice her actions but when she saw the black dot in the skies, another thought emerged in her mind.

     "Someone has managed to obtain the coordinates of this world through locating me..." Myria tried to control herself but it was hard to hide the trepidation in her face, even her heart.

     "Is it them? But it's probably been so many years that they died from the passage of time..." Ellia suddenly spoke.

     She was also privy to the information as their memories were shared.

     "No, if it were them, they wouldn't be able to tear apart this space from outside, or even make a dent since they aren't strong enough, but as you said..."

     Myria continued, "An unknown amount of time has passed since I died. For all we know, they couldn't break through the next stage, but I garner that even if they did break through to the next stage, it isn't enough to rip apart this space from the outside."

     "At that time, when I was injured and poisoned, it was only with the magnanimous act of the mysterious entity was I able to enter this world."

     "The others who pursued me wasn't able to enter this world, so they were forced to head back without gaining anything. They tried to attack the small spherical-shaped gem but it was useless... but now..."

     Myria and Ellia both turned solemn as they couldn't help but feel insecure.

     Someone had managed to bypass the small spherical-shaped gem which contained this entire space and locate her through some unknown but powerful divination method?

     But how?

     "Is it because of the breakthrough in my soul!?" Myria roared in her soul sea.

     Myria went silent before pondered as her eyes shook, "Yes, the more my soul gets stronger, the more it shines in this hidden space out of all the trillions of lives it holds, becoming easier to locate..."

     Ellia's soul also shook, "You made a mistake!"

     "It can't be helped..." Myria spoke, "We are destined to incur aggression because of our weird state, or it could also be the heavens which is trying to break through the space to make us undergo tribulation."

     However, Myria found it difficult to believe that the eye seemed to belong to the mighty heavens. It was more like it came from a cultivator filled with negative emotions as the eyes had a dark hue.

     Ellia knew that the mighty heavens were restricted in this hidden space due to it being held by that spherical-shaped gem. With their shared memories, she also knew why there was no breakthrough phenomenon accompanying a cultivator in a breakthrough. It was because the will of the heavens couldn't reach this hidden space.

     Apparently, from the Law Seed Stage, to be exact, from the Fifth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation, cultivators would face tribulation in Myria's memories. This came as a surprise to her.

     Their silence abated for a while before they both uttered at the same time, "We have to get even stronger..."

     Meanwhile, Shirley had her eyes on the black dot in the sky, her gaze remained lost while filled with confusion, 'What exactly is that? Could it be the sign of a disaster?'

     The black dot in the skies startled all the people in the First Layer, their fates becoming a question mark even to themselves. Some were filled with trepidation while the others were looking forward to increasing their strength in the chaotic cultivation world.

     413 Law Seed Stage

      Loret Empire's Capital, Royal Castle.

     In the secluded cultivation chamber, Davis sat in the center after informing his siblings of their departure in a month.

     At the center of the room was a formation which he placed after he returned home from the First Layer.

     It's the Energy Gathering Formation which would help one gather the energy from the spirit stones and the heaven and earth energy in the surrounding area, effectively collecting while refining it at the same time.

     It had helped his parents and his siblings efficiently refine energy for their cultivation, making this small space a rich cultivation environment. The other rooms did not have this formation since he only had one of them with him.

     He placed around 5,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones on the formation because he thought his dantian, meridians and revolving core would consume and absorb more energy compared to others.

     Even Logan and Claire only sparingly used those 5,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones to make a breakthrough at each level, but he was going to use it in a single move which could actually be considered extravagant.

     Once he finished his preparations, he sat at the center of the formation in a lotus position and within a few seconds, entered the meditational state that one is required to have while cultivating; to circulate the energy inside one's body without experiencing stifled breathing.

     Davis started to circulate the Fifth Layer of the Extinction Lightning Judgement. The energy that stayed dormant in his meridians and dantian, circulated around his meridians while entering the dantian as it churned the Revolving Core.

     The near pitch-black revolving core that sparkled with black lightning grew volatile as it started to spin at an even faster rate, compared to the times when it spun normally.

     'Is it going to display some special characteristics?' Davis eagerly saw the changes in his revolving core, however, he didn't have his hopes up as he quickly immersed himself.

     He started to recall his comprehension of Lightning Laws, his mind and heart working towards recollecting all the experiences he had with using Extinction Lightning Judgement.

     The lightning he had used to clad his legs to increase his movement speed, the lightning he clad in his fingers to pierce through opponents, the lightning he used to cause the environment and the atmosphere to reverberate.

     His recallment continued for a while before the Fallen Extinction Lightning which he had refined manifested itself in a transparent form in his dantian.

     The Fallen Extinction Lightning which has been refined by him before had already become what seems to only a remnant in the form of comprehension.

     After a long time of condensing his insights, the comprehension inwardly materialized as it entered into his revolving core, and along with his other insights into the Lightning Laws, it gathered into the very center of the as it amalgamated into what seemed like a little oval shape, the size of a seed.

     As he circulated the Fifth Layer of the Extinction Lightning Judgement, the seed seemed to take shape as it started to release pounding sounds as if it's being molded.

     As he held pouring his insights into the little seed, it slowly yet surely showcased lightning which turned black in color from purple, from time to time.

     Davis felt the little seed stabilizing in the heart of his Revolving Core. He no longer actively circulated his energy as his meridians took a passive circulation while he experienced the changes in his dantian.

     Once the seed stabilized and takes root in the center of the Revolving Core, he will be able to take a step forward and breakthrough into the Law Seed Stage.

     Time passed.

     A day...

     Two days...

     A week...

     The spirit stones he used all turned into ash and what replaced it was another 1,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones, except these weren't the normal spirit stones but the elementary spirit stones.

     Low-Level Lightning Elemental Spirit Stones!!

     These spirit stones were something he bought when he participated in the underground auction hosted by the Roxley Family.

     At that time, he wondered when he would be able to use these Elemental Spirit Stones but now, it seems like the time has finally appeared.

     With a final circulation of his energy, the translucent seed in his revolving core stabilized along with his final insights into the Lightning Laws that he could condense.

     *Boom!~*

     A small explosion-like sound echoed in his dantian and the energy held in his body underwent a qualitative change.

     The previously stored energy all rapidly experienced a type of growth that officially proved to him that he entered the next stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation; the Fifth Stage, Law Seed Stage.

     Instantly, he could feel his insights undergo a change and his Lightning Laws experiencing qualitative growth.

     The seed in his Revolving Core buzzed and the lightning that filled his Revolving Core crackled.

     'Level One Intent...' Davis was inwardly shocked that he was able to instantly gain comprehensions upon his breakthrough but was able to understand why soon enough.

     It was because of his Sky Grade Elemental, the Fallen Extinction Lightning, that he was able to gain comprehensions upon breakthrough.

     Inwardly turning ecstatic, he rapidly absorbed the condensed energy in the 1,000 Lightning Elemental Spirit Stones through the Energy Gathering Formation.

     Originally, he thought that he could gain insights and comprehend Level One Intent by absorbing these 1,000 Lightning Elemental Low-Level Spirit Stones but now, it seemed like he was left with more resources to enhance his comprehension along with the remnant comprehension he needed to digest from the Fallen Extinction Lightning.

     In a few hours, the remaining elementary spirit stones left on the surface of the formation completely turned into ashes.

     Davis opened his eyes and a flash of lightning sparkled from his eyes, likely, a residual effect of stepping into another level.

     "Level Two Intent..." He murmured as a smile lit up his face.

     The last time he saw Level Two Intent filling the world with rumbling was when he saw his mother and father battle. At that time, it was like the apocalypse had arrived when they released their powers, affecting such a huge area that they threatened to destroy the capital inadvertently.

     If they had fought near to the ground, then he was absolutely sure that there would have been many casualties other than the confirmed result of the city being half-destroyed..

     If their powers at the time could echo throughout the skies, then what about his lightning which could entrench and seal the skies?

     Davis inwardly turned excited once he thought about that apocalyptic like scenario.

     A few seconds later, he calmed down as he knew that he could not waste time since there was a time limit they agreed upon.

     His attention was then placed on the revolving core, trying to find any massive changes but he could find nothing. He inwardly let out a sigh and no longer bothered about it.

     He took a few hours, consolidating his breakthrough while making it stable. Once he finished stabilizing, he didn't hesitate to take a pill and pop it into his mouth.

     [

     Gold Bone Marrow Enhancing Pill - Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill

     It is capable of enhancing one's bone marrow to the next level, and in so enhancing one's blood vitality which in turn causes the battle aura stored in the medians to experience a qualitative change.

     The pill efficacy of gentle in nature, however the limit for the consumer is to be Gold Stage since the bone marrow can't take a tempering of that level without being strengthened first.

     ]

     Davis remembered the contents as the pill churned and dissolved inside his body, spreading to every corner of his meridians.

     414 Sixth Stage In Body Tempering Cultivation

      Davis instantly redirected the gentle amalgamation of energy to his bones, which in turn entered his bone marrow by seeping through the bones.

     The gentle energy was just like a wave of refreshment before it started to wreak havoc. His expressions simultaneously changed when he experienced immense pain from his bones.

     A prickling sense of pain, as if his bones were being carved made him shudder in pain. He almost wanted to dig out his bones from his body to curb the pain, just like how one scratches their itch to temporarily calm their itchiness.

     In truth, it was not that the gentle energy from the Gold Bone Marrow Enhancing Pill turned berserk, but it was his bone marrow that simply couldn't withstand the tempering.

     This pill enhances one's battle aura by enhancing one's bone marrow and in turn, helps one to break into the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation.

     If he couldn't withstand the pain and successfully enhance his battle aura to the next level, then he would be harmed and his Body Tempering Cultivation would regress to some point, maybe even a level or two.

     Time passed as he endured the excruciatingly yet extreme tempering process. His concentration and focus were destroyed many times but since his willpower was enhanced by his Mature Soul Stage Cultivation, he was able to quickly re-enter through sheer focus and continue the tempering.

     After an unknown amount of time, the pill efficacy that remained in his bone marrow was fully absorbed which in turn, helped his battle aura to undergo a rebirth.

     That once gold colored battle aura slowly turned into a type of energy that could semi-materialize at will, just like soul force but a little bit different.

     This energy was known as martial energy, and one could use it to create numerous objects to help them in battle.

     For example, creating a battle armor out of martial energy to wear and defend at the one's body.

     Although, it wasn't recommended since the martial energy inside the object would disappear as soon as the martial energy was depleted.

     Davis opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood that splashed on the ground was black and gave off some steam, likely, it seemed to be burning.

     Due to tempering the bone marrow, he slightly reeked of odor, but he quickly shook that away by using his own energy to wipe off his body.

     Davis held his head, thinking how much time had passed.

     Since he wasn't able to keep his concentration for most of the time, he wasn't able to grasp how much time had passed.

     He took a message talisman and sent his energy into it.

     "Mother, how much time has passed since I last talked to you?"

     He waited for a few seconds and received a reply, "Two weeks passed from the time we discussed about leaving..."

     'Oh, I just took a week again?' Davis mused and inwardly nodded his head.

     His breakthrough in Essence Gathering Cultivation System took him a week, and it seems like his breakthrough in Body Tempering Cultivation System also took him a week.

     "Good, in a month, we can leave!" Davis replied and extended the deadline by a month.

     "You already experienced a breakthrough!?" Claire's voice resounded with disbelief.

     "Yes, I successfully entered Law Seed Stage and Martial Ascension Stage."

     The other side suddenly went silent for a few seconds before an excited voice could be heard.

     "Absolutely wonderful, Davis! I can't believe this is happening! Your Body Tempering Cultivation System caught up to your Soul Forging Cultivation System! This is unbelievable!!!"

     Davis laughed and felt ecstatic inside, "Mother, we all know that it's because of the Earth Dragon Immortal's Blood Essence that I'm able to break through this soon."

     "Haha," Claire proudly laughed, "You have a point but being able to experience this kind of a breakthrough at 21 simply couldn't be brushed off like that! It shouldn't be!"

     Davis laughed, even more, feeling his mother's happiness travel towards his heart, even from the message talisman.

     But suddenly, his expression turned a little bit downcast when he thought about his mother's Body Tempering Cultivation which stopped at Peak-Level Silver Stage.

     He couldn't help but say, "Mother, I'm sorry..."

     "For what?" Claire's confused yet happy voice echoed again.

     Davis sighed, "Mother, I still have the means to raise your cultivation into the Gold Stage without any repercussions but I simply choose not to..."

     After a short moment of pause, Claire asked in a bewildered tone, "What do you mean?"

     "Mother, I still have a drop of Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence remaining with me."

     On the other side, he could hear Claire's gasp.

     "But I have saved it up for Evelynn..." He said.

     Instantly, a sweet laugh echoed at him, "Oh, silly, if you don't treat your woman good, who is going to treat her good then?"

     Davis blinked.

     "Could it be that you're going to let another man treat your woman better?"

     Davis laughed at his mother's words. Her provocative yet indirect consoling means were seen through by him in an instant.

     Besides, he knew that she worded it like that to not place him in a position that would make him feel guilty for not choosing his mother over his woman.

     He replied in a jovial tone, "Of course not! I would kill that scheming man before he could even try to capture her heart!"

     "Right? So you don't even need to consider this matter. Just do what your heart says and follow it till you have no regrets!"

     "Hmm." Davis nodded, a warm feeling encroaching his heart.

     Which weaker human would be able to resist the temptation of gaining a drop of Immortal Blood Essence that would enhance their basic talent and have their limitations removed from facing bottlenecks till a certain stage?

     His mother was able too!

     He did expect this to happen and reality to prove to him that his belief was not misplaced!

     He was well aware that some families would abandon their own kin at some point, maybe for survival or growth, or to even gain measly benefits.

     He was glad that his current family didn't turn out to be one because his previous family on Earth was certainly one!

     Yes, Mo Mingzhi's parents and his parents were equally evil forming triads all over China. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have sympathized with Mo Mingzhi.

     With the Death Book in his hands, it wasn't too difficult to investigate his own past.

     Originally, he thought he would gain some more blood essence in the Emperor Grade Trial but he was instead met with disappointment since the Emperor Grade Treasury didn't have Blood Essence, neither did it have the diluted version.

     At that time, he could only feel good that he had saved one drop of blood essence from the three that had been rewarded to him.

     "Don't worry mother, I'll search for other methods for you to improve your cultivation sooner once we reach the First Layer."

     "Of course, I know you will."

     Davis kept the messaging talisman inside and clenched his fists.

     The martial energy flowing inside him made him want to release it outside to see its effects.

     Thinking that he would destroy the Royal Castle that if he were to release his martial energy unchecked, he decided against it.

     He had just broken through and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the energy released since he didn't even become familiar with martial energy.

     He took one step at a time and released his martial energy at the tip of his finger. It seemed similar to the energy of Essence Gathering Cultivation but not. It had a feeling of roughness to it, not intrinsically but in a general way of things.

     It meant that it was not rough or soft literally but it felt as if it was a mix between solid and liquid.

     415 Venting Out Overflowing Vitality

      The martial energy that gathered at the tip of his fingers moved towards him shoulders before it covered his upper torso.

     Davis imagined a certain design of armor within his mind and with a thought, he made the martial energy manifest into that armor.

     Black armor manifested with sharp patterns that extended outwards from his shoulders along with the shoulder plate.

     He took a look at that armor and nodded his head in appreciation, and even knocked it as a dull sound echoed. He did the knock by using his index finger while using at least 50 percent of his power.

     Seeing that the black armor didn't break to his tap, he smiled in content because that one tap could literally send a normal Peak-Level Gold Stage Cultivator flying towards the skies.

     He could very well guess the power behind that tap as he was the one who employed it in the first place.

     Not only did his bone marrow increase in hardness, his skin, flesh, organs, but bones all also experienced a qualitative breakthrough as well.

     'My lifespan increased to 5,000 years...' Davis inwardly mused as a smile lit up his face.

     Previously, his lifespan had hit the threshold of 1,000 years after he had entered the Gold Stage but now, he could live up to 5,000 years even if he stayed in this cultivation base for his entire lifetime.

     Furthermore, even if he were to reach the age of 4,999, he would still look like his adult self and not age to an old appearance unless he messed up his current cultivation or received critical injuries from a battle.

     Though his lifespan is just about 800 years from his Essence Gathering Cultivation, it was just one of his cultivation systems, supporting his lifespan.

     In a cultivator's case, whichever cultivation system provided the highest lifespan becomes dominant in that cultivator's life.

     But unlike Body Tempering Cultivation, Essence Gathering Cultivation did not provide the fires of vitality which would make the cultivator naturally appear youthful.

     Of course, using various techniques, Essence Gathering Cultivators could still appear young but that was not natural as Body Tempering Cultivators.

     Other than this matter about lifespan, he sensed that his comprehension of Earth Laws has increased to a great degree.

     "Level Three Intent..." Davis spoke as his eyes gleamed.

     He stayed in the Peak-Level of Gold Stage for about 3 years and managed to comprehend Level Two Intent during that time even without actively pondering on the laws.

     This was due to the fact that he possessed and digested the Blood Essence of the Earth Dragon Immortal.

     The blood essence had been an immense boon towards his cultivation that it had more passively helped him comprehend Level Three Intent upon his breakthrough into the Martial Ascension Stage.

     Davis laughed in satisfaction as he felt that he was making stable progress in all the cultivation systems.

     Low-Level Law Seed Stage, Low-Level Martial Ascension Stage, and Low-Level Mature Soul Stage.

     Closing his eyes, he stabilized his Martial Ascension Stage Cultivation by circulating Domineering Earth Dragon Arts.

     The Domineering Earth Dragon Arts he cultivated was at the Emperor Peak-Level Emperor Grade, so he could use it to enter the Ninth Stage eventually but the only bottleneck he would eventually face was also at the Ninth Stage.

     Two drops of Earth Dragon Immortal's Blood Essence weren't simply enough. Maybe if he had ten drops, he guessed that he wouldn't have any bottlenecks even in the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation.

     After an hour, he found that his Body Tempering Cultivation had stabilized enough.

     Standing up as he floated, Davis moved towards the exit and officially ended his closed-door cultivation.

     ======

     Davis opened the door to his room and entered it. He didn't need to knock since the person inside could be considered his other half, neither did his other half would be offended by this rude action of his.

     'She's not here?' Davis mused but then instantly heard the faint sound of flowing water with his senses.

     His expression turned a little volatile while his fists clenched into two balls.

     He had just experienced a breakthrough in Body Tempering Cultivation, so it could be also said that his vitality was renewed and raging wild in his body.

     He wanted to vent the overflowing vitality in his body and what other best way is there other than doing the deed.

     With light steps, he floated into the air and entered the bath whereupon he saw Evelynn at the right side of the bath.

     The bath was as big as the room, with a pond bed in the middle used for relaxing while soaking in the hot water filled with heaven and earth energy.

     Evelynn lay in a white-colored wooden bathtub as she reclined her lithe body. She was entirely naked but her proportion below her neck was swallowed by the base water in the bathtub, leaving only her head visible in his view.

     Davis removed his dress and it silently fell on the floor. He floated towards her and saw her relaxing with her eyes closed but not completely. It was as if she was enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by warm water.

     He breathed in the fragrance that emanated from her, causing his heart to beat rapidly.

     Evelynn's dark green hair fell out of the bathtub. She suddenly felt a hand interlocking her hair. Her heart leaped out of her throat as she instantly struck back with her hands only to be grasped.

     "It's you." Evelynn visibly heaved a sigh of relief as she saw her husband's face.

     Without a word of reply, his hand that glided through her hair held her head as he leaned forward to taste her lips, not allowing her to escape his grasp.

     "Mmm!~"

     Evelynn felt constricted, not able to move from the blood that rushed to her head, reddening her cheeks while making her feel lighthearted. The kiss initiated by him felt strange and left her gasping for breath.

     She felt it was as if he was starving for her.

     As Evelynn was made to turn her head behind, her breasts were visibly peaking out, and through the corner of her eyes, she saw his hardness raging for her.

     She instantly knew that he wasn't here for a bath but to ravage her.

     Suddenly, she was lifted up by both of his hands in a princess carry. The water that soaked her body quickly fell on the bathtub while her skin lustrously shone as it reflected the light.

     She held his neck while still exchanging their passion for each other through their lips. However, she could also feel that Davis was moving towards the pool bed.

     "Ahh!~"

     Her eyes suddenly widened as she let out a yelp.

     *Splash!~*

     Davis threw Evelynn at the pool and saw her rising up from the surface of the water while flicking her green hair, looking at him with a grievance, however, he also saw the playful light in her eyes which made it seem extremely amorous.

     He lifted up his leg and took a step forward, his right leg coming in contact with the warm water in the pond. Soon, his entire body sank, leaving only his head visible.

     Evelynn looked at his visible approach as the water gently flowed away from him. She could see the lust in his eyes, waiting to pleasure her. She languidly smiled and waited for him to near.

     In the middle of the pool, he reached out his hand and held her head, kissing her with passion again. His other hand reached for her perky breasts, wanting to fondle.

     "Mmph!~"

     Evelynn gave a muffled moan as her eyelashed gently trembled. She no longer tried to balance her body as she was pulled towards him by his embrace.

     Their chests stuck together as she held his neck. Even in the warm water, they could feel each other's warmth,

     Suddenly, she felt it.

     'He entered me...' Evelynn bit her lips and slightly leaned back.

     Davis shook his hips as he held her waists, wanting to thrust. He maintained eye contact with her while watching her pleasurable reactions.

     "Ahn!~"

     However, his gaze quickly changed into one of lust as he thrust into her, feeling her wall clamping on his hardness as it glided towards her womb.

     Water sloshed as they pounded at each other's thighs, the water gradually exiting the pool's upper surface from their clash.

     416 Ashton“s Visi

      In Davis's room.

     Davis and Evelynn rested on the bed as their naked figures figured reclined above the soft comfort of the bed. They held each other as their figures were slowly painted with sunlight, giving off a sense of serenity.

     Evelynn's eyelids gently trembled before she opened her eyes. She submitted herself to his warmth by cuddling his arms a few seconds before perching up.

     She dressed herself up and went towards the bathroom, intending to clean herself. Davis opened his eyes and sat up looking towards the bright sun that shone on his face.

     He yawned as he stretched his body, extending his arms towards his back, feeling pleasurable cracks echo from his body. After their 'battle' in the bath, they continued on the bed for a long time before sleeping somewhere after midnight.

     Davis panned his gaze from the bright rays towards his room, his gaze falling on the numerous objects and furniture that were neatly arranged and decorated in his room.

     In the past, his room was once the spacious study but had been later remodeled into his bedroom, bath, and balcony, suiting to his needs.

     Many tables were placed on each corner of the bedroom, with many objects on top of it decorating, giving importance and a sense of propriety to the initially hollow room.

     He didn't place much importance in the placings but Evelynn did, letting the room stay clean and making it seem more close towards her aesthetic sense.

     However, he looked towards a wardrobe, one of the many wardrobes which had many clothes but remained untouched for a long time.

     A certain figure flashed past his mind. Cheerful, affectionate, cute, curious, afraid, and embarrassed, most of the time.

     Those clothes of that figure's were still untouched and his wife still hasn't said anything about it after learning about its existence one day.

     With just an 'Oh...' from her mouth, Evelynn no longer bothered about that wardrobe, letting it stay as it is.

     Davis was confused about this action of hers, not understanding why she did not comment on those clothes in his room which belonged to another woman!

     If it were the opposite, he imagined that he would've blown his top off from rage and vented his anger on her while arguing whose clothes it was...

     He was confused as to why she didn't do anything about it.

     She had plenty of time to throw those clothes away to the trash when he was in the First Layer, but didn't so, baffling him to an extent.

     Could it be that she was afraid of angering him, leading to her silence about this matter?

     In any case, he wasn't bothered by it much as long as she doesn't complain but it still made him uncomfortable. Her eyes that would gaze past the wardrobe would make him slightly uncomfortable from time to time, making him think if she would ask him why that maid's clothes were still here.

     Yes, it was none other than Ellia's clothes.

     'Maybe since Ellia was no more than a little girl at that time, her clothes don't bother Evelynn much as I think it did...' he mused

     At this time, a knock could be heard, echoing from his door.

     "Enter..." Davis lazily spoke, already aware of who it was behind the door.

     *Creak~*

     The door slowly opened and a womanly figure dressed like a maid with a bun on her head entered his view. She had a letter in her hands tightly clasped as if she was afraid that it would disappear.

     Her black pupils paused on his blurry naked figure for a moment before she hurriedly glanced towards the tiled surface as she put her head down.

     "Speak..." Davis casually spoke, maintaining an image as if he was unperturbed.

     This woman was the one who had replaced Ellia as his personal maid, however, he knew little about her, not much than the other maids who he had seen before.

     The woman stuttered, "E-Excuse this lowly servant, your highness."

     She paused for a moment, and seeing that there was no reply from the Crown Prince, she continued with a hint of trepidation in her heart.

     "Someone with the letter containing the symbol of Ashton Empire wants to meet your highness."

     "Someone?" Davis's lips curved.

     He glanced at the letter that was in her hands and extended his hands.

     The letter that was extended towards him while being grasped in her hands flew towards him. With a flick of his hand, he caught the parchment and brought towards his face as he opened it.

     He paused for a moment before his eyes lit up in understanding.

     "I understand, bring that someone to the top floor of the royal castle, the park for a chat." He emphasized.

     The maid nodded her head as her heart shook. She didn't know much but rumor had it that the Crown Prince could observe the entire capital with his prowess if he so wished.

     His understanding and acceptance of that someone, even inviting to his place of relaxation meant that he knew who the other party was...

     She bowed once before stepping back as she closed the door, leaving to relay and bring the guest to the park personally.

     Davis shook his head as he saw the letter. It emphasized a single sentence.

     [Can we have a chat?]

     At the same moment he read it before, he extended his Soul Sense and saw the 'someone' who was waiting outside the Royal Castle, clad in black robes while restraining their undulations.

     When he realized the identity of that someone, he was surprised a moment before shaking his head in confusion, because he thought of that person to be another person, a woman to be exact.

     At this time, Evelynn walked out from the bath, dressed up extravagantly like a princess would, however, her features were entirely covered by her dark green colored robes.

     She saw a letter in Davis's hands and turned confused but when she saw the Ashton Empire's symbol on it, her gaze turned sharp, "What is that?"

     Her eyes even seemed to faintly exhibit wariness.

     "Someone wants to see me for a chat, want to tag along?" Davis laughed as he waved the letter.

     Evelynn was about to ask who but pursed her lips as she pondered for a moment before nodding her head.

     Davis nodded back to her. He stood up to wear clothes that were on the side of the surface and leave to the park but was instead admonished by his wife to clean himself up.

     Listening to her words, he spent a few minutes in the bath before being dressed up. He then left with Evelynn to the park, silently pondering what the guest had in store for him.

     In a minute, they arrived at the top floor as they left flying through their balcony.

     Evelynn flew above with him and once she reached the top, she saw a black-robed figure who possessed a medium build.

     'A male?' A question popped up in her head while she also simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief, albeit inwardly.

     She and Davis flew towards the table where the guest sat when she heard Davis suddenly speak without a cue.

     "To what do I owe you the pleasure, Emperor Ashton."

     'Emperor Ashton!?' Evelynn's brows shot up as she turned astonished.

     'Not a messenger?'

     'But Emperor Ashton!?'

     'What's going on here?'

     These thoughts simultaneously echoed in her head, leaving her presence of mind to pause for a moment.

     The black-robed man heaved a sigh as he took off his hood which hid his facial features.

     "Really, one can't hide from you, Crown Prince Davis."

     "It depends..." Davis just casually commented and sat while Evelynn also promptly sat with them.

     The table was quite wide and spacious, able to accommodate more than six people with a few chairs beside it. Three chairs had been occupied by them while a single chair had been left unoccupied.

     Emperor Ashton's gaze fell on Evelynn as he narrowed his eyes, making the latter feel confused and nervous. However, his gaze was quickly removed, making Evelynn inwardly heave a sigh of relief.

     417 Are You Feigning Ignorance?

      Evelynn could see that Emperor Ashton was not amused with her presence, however, that didn't bother her as much as she thought it would.

     Without thinking much, she sat with these two people, but then remembered that she was just short of the Fifth Stage and also the wife of the most powerful person in the Grand Sea Continent, giving her some confidence to be seated equally with them.

     Emperor Louis Ashton panned his gaze towards Davis as his handsome and devilish features came into their view. He looked evil with his pale countenance, however, Davis knew that this person was easy to mingle with since he knew the other person's attitude.

     Nevertheless, this time, Davis could sense seriousness as well as a solemn feeling radiating from Emperor Louis Ashton.

     Emperor Ashton who sat straight rasped his finger on the armrest before slightly leaning forwards, "My prized pearl, my daughter, Shirley is missing."

     Davis slightly widened his eyes and so did Evelynn but in an exaggerated matter. She blinked and turned to look at Davis.

     "So?" Davis opened his mouth with a confused gaze as he felt that he was being suspected from the tone of the other party.

     Did Emperor Ashton perhaps suspect him of hiding Shirley?

     Emperor Ashton narrowed his eyes, "She's been missing for more than two years."

     "So?" Davis just repeated his question, intending to make him go straight to the point.

     "You really do not know or are you feigning ignorance?" Emperor Ashton's tone sounded a little aggressive.

     Davis just shook his head, his gaze unperturbed.

     Silence pervaded around the table for a few seconds before Emperor Ashton slightly heaved a breath.

     "Is my daughter Shirley not with you?"

     "With me? What makes Emperor Ashton think so?" Davis reclined on the chair as he heard the other party's doubtful tone. He did not laugh but had a calm gaze.

     "When I meant more than two years, I meant three and that she's been missing ever since you got married."

     Emperor Ashton took out a letter and placed it on the table, with his hand still holding it in place.

     Davis saw the letter and moved his gaze towards Emperor Ashton, "What has that got to do with me?"

     "It has got everything to do with you."

     Davis shot a glance at Evelynn before extending his hand towards the letter.

     Grasping it in his hands, he opened and swept his eyes over it.

     [

     Dear Royal Father,

     By the time you find this letter in my room, I will be no longer in the Ashton Empire but somewhere else, somewhere far away, maybe somewhere dangerous.

     Due to circumstance, I am unable to inform you of this decision of mine personally, however, just know of this fact.

     I'm going to realize my ambition even if it meant my death.

     It would be years before you see me again, royal father.

     Forgive me...

     - Shirley Ashton

     ]

     Davis's eyes twitched as read the letter which was written in the Sky Word Language with beautiful and mesmerizing strokes.

     However, the letter was as vague as it could get!

     Her ambition?

     What was it supposed to mean?

     Was it cultivation? Or was it him?

     Is that the reason why Emperor Ashton thought and connected her ambition with him?

     "It pains me to see her be obsessed with someone out of her reach, so the only ambition I knew about her other than cultivation path is you."

     Davis once again reclined his head as he passed the letter to Evelynn without moving his gaze away from Emperor Ashton.

     "If not for her life tablet which indicates that she is still alive, I would've suspected you of killing her."

     Davis inwardly groaned as he revealed a wry smile, however, he was astonished, "The Ashton Empire has life tablets?"

     "We have the method to create one but not the resources, however, after my daughter cleared the trial, we were able to gather the necessary resources to create one."

     "Spirit stones..." Davis nodded his head in agreement.

     However, Spirit Stones were just one of the main ingredients. As for the other ingredients and materials, the Loret Empire didn't possess them, so they still weren't able to create life tablets.

     "I used that single life tablet to host a strand of my daughter's soul. She might be alive but her whereabouts are unknown."

     Davis imperceptibly blinked.

     So Emperor Ashton suspected I did something to her and kept her in captivity. His imagination sure does leave a bad impression of me.

     However, he can understand that he was the prime suspect and could vaguely comprehend the agony of a father.

     Davis sincerely shook his head, "I haven't seen her at all."

     "Judging by the contents of her letter, it is clear that she left towards a danger zone."

     Emperor Ashton nodded his head, "I've considered this possibility too. I've sent many people of my Empire to investigate every danger zone in the Grand Sea Continent."

     "So far, they've only checked the outer periphery of the danger zones, asking people about the ins and outs, however, it seemed fruitless."

     Davis had his chin rest on his interlocked fingers while his elbows were on the table, pondering where Shirley could've left too. He had no idea of her whereabouts initially but could now form some conjectures.

     "Let's change our way of thinking then, no, not our way of thinking, but something we missed out; ignored."

     "Ignored, I don't think I have ignored anything." Emperor Ashton frowned.

     "What cultivation had she attained before she went missing?" Davis posed a question.

     Emperor Ashton thought for a moment before answering his question, "Law Seed Stage."

     'Why did he pause? Could it be that Shirley was concealing her cultivation from her father?'

     'For what purpose?'

     "Which level?"

     Emperor Ashton pondered for a while before he answered, "I'm not sure. At that time, she had broken through to the Law Seed Stage quite a while ago, so she should be at Mid-Level Law Seed Stage when she went missing."

     Davis pondered for a few seconds before he formed a valid conjecture.

     "This information is classified even and not privy even to the Guardian Alliance. However, Princess Shirley should be in possession of this information since she had cleared the King Grade Trial."

     He suddenly smiled, "Nevertheless, she chose to hide it from her own father."

     "What do you mean?"

     Emperor Ashton could not help but tilt his head forward, wanting to know more about this classified information.

     "It's possible that she secretly broke through the Sixth Stage after some time and entered the First Layer."

     "What!?"

     Emperor Ashton stood up in shock as well as trepidation. He seemed to shake his head in disbelief while muttering, "It can't be..."

     Seeing Emperor Ashton act like a father who lost his precious daughter, Davis inwardly sighed for him.

     "Don't worry. The independent spatial gateway to the First Layer is more or less concealed from the eyes of the masses."

     "As long as she conceals herself and acts cautiously, she will not meet with any danger."

     Emperor Ashton shot his gaze towards Davis, his gaze staying on him for a few seconds.

     Davis could feel Emperor Ashton's scrutinizing gaze. He knew the other party was trying to find something in his words and expression but he was leisure as he could be.

     "If you go back to the First Layer again, can you help her?" Emperor Ashton suddenly asked while his tone had relatively softened.

     "Sure!" Davis smirked, "But don't count on it. I can only help her if we're able to meet in that vast territory."

     Emperor Ashton stayed silent for a few seconds, his gaze slightly absent-minded.

     "Alright," He finally spoke and wore his hood again.

     He flew towards the skies but suddenly stopped as he stretched his hand. The letter in Evelynn's hand shot towards him.

     "You are probably the luckiest woman in the entire history of the Grand Sea Continent."

     Emperor Ashton's comment echoed as he flew towards the horizon.

     Evelynn was startled before a smile lit up her face.

     "That remains to be seen..." Davis casually made a comment, which confused Evelynn as she turned to look towards him.

     "What do you mean?"

     "Uh... Nothing..." Davis refused to answer as he smiled.

     The way he thought, Evelynn was just stuck with his selfishness, not really lucky.

     418 Karma Threads

      Davis and Evelynn returned to their room once Emperor Ashton left.

     Their meeting was not made known to the others and his parents were not privy to it since they were cultivating in peace.

     Unless the maid and the others who came in contact with the black-robed person, purposefully informed the emperor and empress of this event, it will remain unknown.

     Davis felt it wasn't wise to reveal this matter without a reason.

     A princess of an Empire missing is enough to cause the Empire to fall into chaos. Although it would not affect the Loret Empire, it would incite the Ashton Empire.

     For the same reason, Emperor Louis Ashton approached him in incognito. There were mostly two reasons for his passiveness.

     One was his current strength, the other was probably his mysterious master. Emperor Louis Ashton understands well that he couldn't hope to defeat Davis even in the case if the latter had really kept Shirley in a dungeon, abusing her.

     From this, Davis garnered that Emperor Ashton likely came to display his anger and relay a word of caution while trying to exhort him to treat Princess Shirley well.

     Davis sighed when he thought about all this mess. Princess Shirley's reputation was only second to him and Clara among all the young geniuses of the Grand Sea Continent.

     Even though he was innocent, he would probably be the first one to suspected out of all the people in the case of Shirley's disappearance and although it was unfair, this would still occur if the information of the princess missing circulated through the entire continent.

     Numerous echoes would question him but wouldn't do anything excessive other than branding a wrong impression on him.

     The next day, his image in the citizens and the people of the Grand Sea Continent would be utterly tarnished.

     The Little Paragon who was once hailed as a decent, upright, and ethical individual would likely be reduced to a royal who secretly enjoys abusing women, especially princesses.

     Likely, Emperor Ashton knew this point. The secrecy that should be maintained can be seen from Emperor Ashton's silent visit.

     Otherwise, the other party would've arrived with a royal entourage, accusing him of kidnapping the princess while demanding him to give her back.

     Davis secretly nodded his head as he could see this happening. However, he wasn't bothered and that's why he didn't place a restriction on his personal maid and the others who witnessed the black-robed man.

     "If she's missing, why are they suspecting you? There are also other princes who are courting her! This is baseless and not fair." Evelynn grumbled as she had an aggrieved look on her face.

     Davis turned to look at her, blinking his eyes while asking if she didn't really understand.

     The matter about other princes courting her could be simply brushed off because Princess Shirley was stronger than each one of them

     Evelynn nodded her head in response to Davis.

     He sighed and explained, "Evelynn, let's say that we're not married."

     Evelynn didn't interrupt, nor did she misunderstand his first sentence, understanding that he was explaining using an 'if' situation.

     "In the beginning, we were once engaged to each other but voided our marriage mutually due to some reason."

     "However, you changed your mind while being suddenly obsessed with me for reasons I can partially understand but it isn't my fault."

     Evelynn could understand what he meant since she knew the story behind Davis and Shirley.

     "However, after the day of my marriage with another woman, you suddenly went missing."

     Davis suddenly clicked his tongue.

     *Tsk!~*

     "One would think that you went to demand justice but didn't get it, prompting you to commit suicide or one would think that I killed you or captured you for certain reasons."

     "But... The letter clearly states that she's headed towards a danger zone...." Evelynn retorted, unable to maintain silence.

     "The letter could be interpreted in many ways, not just one." Davis sighed.

     'This wouldn't really be a problem if the letter had been concise.' Davis inwardly swore at Shirley.

     Evelynn harrumphed, "She's purposefully doing it, otherwise, she could've just said that she's going somewhere and pinpointed the location in the letter."

     Davis shook his head, "If she's purposefully doing it, her father should be strong enough to be able to kill me but Emperor Louis Ashton is not."

     "The only reason I can vaguely think of is that she wrote the letter like that to not make her father follow her to the First Layer."

     Evelynn furrowed and then raised her brows, "How are you so sure that she went to the First Layer?"

     "I'm not sure, I'm just using my thought process to follow the word 'ambition'. If Shirley wants to quickly become stronger, then the First Layer is her best bet."

     "The resources here cannot be compared to the resources there. If it weren't for the Immortal Inheritances, the Grand Sea Continent has zero value to the major powers in the First Layer."

     Davis extended his two hands and looked at one of his palms before looking at the other.

     "Even if Shirley eventually reaches the Ninth Stage in the Grand Sea Continent, she could not be compared with the Shirley who would reach the Ninth Stage in the First Layer."

     Evelynn couldn't help but nod her head. It is clear which path one should take to strengthen themselves.

     The techniques, resources, knowledge, and cultivation in the First Layer, almost everything preceded the likes of the Grand Sea Continent.

     However, the risks are equally high.

     'So that's why Shirley didn't want her father to know where she went, but in the process, accidentally implicated my husband...' Evelynn quickly assumed that it should be the case.

     At this time, Davis unleashed his elementary Karma Laws through Fallen Heaven.

     Numerous threads appeared in front of his vision, extending out from his soul sea. One of the thread extended to Evelynn while many others stretched to the void, only leaving the feeling of connection.

     To interact with the Karma Threads, he would have to near them. He had tested it in prison, so he knew about this fact.

     His gaze traveled to Evelynn's and saw their thread were bright red from both sides.

     However, he saw that the thread connecting to him from her side also had a different hue on top of the red.

     'Yellow?'

     Davis turned confused. He had never seen this color appearing on the Karma Thread after their marriage.

     At the time he revealed his secrets to Evelynn, he was plagued by varying emotions which made him not use that chance to garner her underlying emotions through the Karma Thread.

     As for the yellow stain in their bright red thread, he could vaguely guess what this meant.

     So far, he knew more about 4 colors out the various colors which he saw in the Karma Threads, connecting him to various people.

     Since his knowledge of Karma Laws was severely lacking, and he had no detailed books on it, he could only form some speculation from his tests.

     The red thread signified love, mostly love, however since he didn't see his parents have this kind of thread, he could conclude that this love the red thread indicated was mostly sexual.

     The red thread he had seen connecting to him from others just didn't stop at Evelynn or Mo Mingzhi. Almost all the castle maids had some red tainted within their threads.

     In other words, with just a word from him, there was a chance that they would all warm his bed.

     Leaving that matter aside, if red color signified sexual kind of love, then what color did his parents have?

     419 It“s Time

      It was pink.

     Not only did his parents have this pink color on their threads but also his siblings. He concluded that the pink thread signified familial love after much consideration.

     Other than the pink thread, they also had some blue mixed in with that pink, leading him to believe that it signified trust, loyalty or amiable relationships.

     Because, he saw blue threads from the guards, Duke Evan Cauldon, Hendrickson, Randal and others. They displayed loyalty in their attitudes, making him believe the blue thread signified trust, faith, dependence, designating most amicable relationships.

     He guessed that Drake would also have a blue thread connecting to him if he checked in the future... But that remained to be seen.

     Then comes the black thread, which he could conclude that it basically meant many negative emotions showcasing hostility. He confirmed this point when he roamed in prison while interacting with the prisoners.

     Their hostile expressions were rather straightforward, making it easier for him to garner what black-colored thread signified. There was also Mo Mingzhi who possessed these black specks but was eventually swallowed by the blinding red.

     Anger, hate, hostility, aggressiveness were all openly displayed on their faces, and it didn't take him long to connect their emotions with the black thread.

     However, he also saw a dull black that was on their threads which he couldn't decipher what it meant.

     Feeling that the dull black was more like grey in color, he decided to recognize it as grey-colored thread.

     Other than these threads he had to think to identify their meaning, there was the colorless thread and white thread which were basic and easier to identify what it meant.

     Colorless threads were transparent. It indicated that karma between two people or objects had just been formed, without any or fewer emotions.

     If the emotions were intense, then he garnered that the thread would change colors appropriately.

     White threads were the most common form of karma threads he would see in his daily life in the royal castle. These white threads indicated that the ones possessing white threads were acquaintances without possessing intense emotions with each other.

     Most castle maids he knew had this white thread along with a few specks of red and blue.

     Finally, the yellow thread, which Evelynn had been slightly tainted with...

     "Evelynn, are you worried?"

     Evelynn's eyes froze as her face turned blank. She instantly shook her head but her trembling lips said otherwise.

     Davis withdrew his gaze from her as he went silent. It took a few seconds for him to find the crux of the matter.

     "Are you unhappy that I gave my word to take care of Shirley in the First Layer?" He asked as he inclined his head towards her.

     Evelynn shook her head faster than the speed of light, however, she slowed down as she slightly nodded her head with a pitiful expression on her face.

     Davis blinked as he confirmed his doubts. He held her hand and looked at her eyes.

     "Didn't I say that you hold the initiative? Unless you choose to revoke that initiative and give it back to me, I won't tangle myself with other women." Davis openly spoke, not mincing his words.

     His words did indeed have an effect on Evelynn as he saw the yellow stains on the red thread disappear like magic.

     'So yellow meant anxiety, frustration, unhappiness and the like...'

     Davis concluded the meaning of the yellow thread and realized this case was one of unhappiness which needed reassuring since the yellow disappeared rather too quickly.

     However, it seemed like his words alone weren't enough to reassure her completely!

     He added, "It's fine if you don't believe me. Let us sign a Blood Soul Contract in the future."

     "Blood Soul Contract?" Evelynn repeated his words with visible confusion on her face.

     Noticing her confusion, Davis explained.

     When he mentioned Old Man Garvin to her in the past, he didn't say that he had a binding with him through Blood Soul Contract but downplayed it saying that they formed a less teacher-student like a relationship.

     A few minutes later, Evelynn's expression was aghast, "We don't need such binding restricting us!"

     Davis paused and then nodded his head in agreement. If they needed such an agreement, then it could be said that their relationship was no longer built on trust but a mere binding contract.

     ======

     A month passed.

     In the Royal Castle, things were quite the same as any normal day. The castle guards were on their feet, patrolling the various parts of the Royal Castle.

     Even the castle maids did their work as they found nothing out of the ordinary because if they did rumors about the Emperor and the Empress leaving the Loret Empire would have spread far and wide, even if it weren't in their intentions.

     Logan did a final check on what needed to be taken care of as he read the scrolls that were extended out. He gave out a few remarkable commands to the people beside him, especially Hendrickson and Randal.

     After some time, he stopped reading the scrolls and released a breath of a sigh. He waved his hand at the others, indicating them to leave.

     Only Hendrickson and Randal were left behind, their gazes quite solemn, because they knew, that it was time.

     "Royal Advisor, I presume that you know what to do after I leave..."

     Hendrickson went on one knee, "Yes, your majesty! I solemnly vow to help Princess Clara take care of the Loret Empire to the best of my ability, your majesty."

     Logan cast his view to Army Commander and the latter spoke, "Your majesty, our forces have become much stronger over the past three years with several of them breaking into the Body Transformation Stage. I don't think any Empire other than the Ruth Empire can threaten us at this point."

     Logan nodded, "You're only a thin line away from the Gold Stage, cultivate hard but don't forget to support my cherished daughter as an army commander in ruling over the Empire."

     Randal solemnly bowed, "Your majesty, Princess Clara has recently broken into the Law Seed Stage and her comprehension of Ice Laws is at the peak of Level One Intent. Although I don't think I can be of any help in a battle between Fifth Stage Powerhouses any time soon, I will keep the Loret Empire from falling into the wrong hands even if I have to use my life!"

     Logan took a deep breath. He had some vague speculations if his two little twin brothers would try to usurp the throne but that seemed unlikely to the tip of his knowledge.

     He knew that two little brothers were not scheming hypocrites or else, he wouldn't have kept them in the Royal Castle without employing a few methods to control their movements.

     He shook his head and then said, "I'm leaving things to you two and Clara, so don't mess it up."

     *Creak!~*

     "Yes, your majesty!" Hendrickson and Randal both simultaneously echoed when suddenly a person of blinding elegance entered the Emperor's Room.

     The two of them bid farewell with a gesture and left the room.

     Logan smirked, "I'm all set. Have you tidied up on your part?"

     "I'm waiting for days already. The question is, are you ready to set off with me?" Claire asked with an amused expression on her face.

     Logan turned a little perplexed as he cast a confused gaze towards her.

     He was all prepared and ready to set out but he knew that his wife knew this point so why was she asking him that he was ready?

     "Your... concubines..." Claire hesitantly spoke as she avoided his gaze.

     Logan's mind clicked, 'Ah, so that's what it is...'

     420 Cooperation

      "I've spoken to all of them. They and our children will be protected by hidden experts during this journey of ours, which makes me able to travel without worry." Logan replied with a peaceful expression on his face.

     Claire simply nodded her head and didn't continue with that topic.

     Logan inwardly chuckled as he could see that she was worrying for them in her own way.

     Even so, he still could not understand why Claire would even worry about them in the first place after all that between them.

     He couldn't help but feel that his love and married life was a mess, becoming the sole reason for him to curb himself and his women from giving birth to his descendants even though he had physical interactions with all of them at some point.

     ======

     The sun rose to the peak and stood tall over the heads of the people in the Loret Empire.

     Two figures were relaxing on the bed as they sat together with one of them resting their head over the other's shoulder.

     This room was none other than Davis's room and the two figures were Davis and Evelynn.

     Davis opened his eyes and sensed that it was time. They had previously settled on this exact time where the sun hangs over their head to set out to the First Layer.

     Evelynn also moved away from him as she stood up. She was dressed up in common purple robes rather than the royal ones she wore these few years.

     She was clear that dressing extravagantly on top of being voluptuous will invite trouble, so she unhesitatingly chose to be compromising and not give trouble to the group.

     Davis also chose to wear a purple colored robe that was common without much design, nor patterned.

     He was fine with dressing up extravagantly since he knew that most of them at the Tripartite Alliance wouldn't bother about their mere low-quality clothes even though it made them look majestic, but that wouldn't be the case for women.

     Anything that made them look good automatically invited trouble, even if it wasn't their intention to create trouble.

     He only felt that dressing extravagantly while his wife looked like a commoner as if she wasn't related to him in any way, didn't sit well with him, so he also choose to wear common clothes this time.

     The reason why he was obsessed over these small details lied within his past where he chose to treat his other half with utmost sincerity in the future.

     If it weren't for his own convictions and principles holding him back, it would have been much easier for him let himself loose on the mortal world, claiming all the beauties for himself with the power of Death Book.

     Soon, Davis and Evelynn arrived at the top of the Royal Castle where the park existed.

     There were a few figures who attracted his attention. He smiled at them and looked at a certain person whose attention was absorbed by the flowers placed in rows over the ledges.

     "Princess Isabella, you're here..." Davis greeted.

     Princess Isabella smiled serenely before she moved her gaze to look at Davis, "This architecture and scenery give me a peaceful sensation. When I asked one of the tending maids who took care of the flowers about who designed this type of architecture, she said that it was the Crown Prince, is it true?"

     Davis nodded his head before slightly bowing his head as a form of politeness, "Thank you for joining with us in this journey. With your help, our path to the Alstriem Family Territory will be even safer."

     Princess Isabella shook her head and smiled, "I'm obliged that you all have allowed me to join your party at the request of my father. In any case, joining together against the outsiders, we will have much chance to survive and prevail."

     Davis nodded his head in agreement.

     Princess Isabella had personally experienced how difficult it was to survive alone in the first few years she had entered the First Layer.

     Even with her Sixth Stage Body Tempering Cultivation Base at that time, she had to run away from the powerhouses who came at her that time.

     She guessed that it was because of the energy undulations caused by the independent spatial gateway activating for the first time.

     She believed that it was the case since the experts came flocking in her direction like they had discovered some treasure. She had no choice but to be low profile and leave the desert through the underground, below the dense sand of the Desolate Plains.

     The only reason she chose to compromise by moving underground was that she had comprehended Level Two Intent in Earth Laws by that time, and used that to stay hidden along with the Earth attributed energy present in the surface.

     Otherwise, she knew that she would've got caught by the senses of the Seventh Stage Cultivators who came at that time to search for the non-existent treasures.

     Now, even though she reached the Seventh Stage, she dared not to underestimate the cultivators there and choose to compromise with the idea of her royal father.

     It was two weeks before, the time when she had come out of her seclusion which lasted for more than 3 years. She had decided to venture out to the First Layer again to pursue her cultivation path.

     Her father had sincerely advised her to travel with Davis since he seemingly had a backer behind him; the mysterious senior.

     She considered for a while and then inwardly gave up thinking. She straight away contacted Davis about collaboration and it turned out that they were also leaving the Grand Sea Continent in two weeks.

     This suited her agenda, so she chose to travel with them even though all of them were at least more than a major stage lower than her.

     In any case, she felt that she would only need to endure for a few years until Davis had increased his cultivation to the Seventh Stage.

     In the meantime, she had planned to even out her other two Cultivation Systems for the sole purpose of maintaining equilibrium in her body.

     It was not too healthy and safe as a cultivator to have a huge difference in cultivation stages since the lower-tiered energy of another cultivation system would not be able to handle the backlash of higher tiered energy of another cultivation system in case of an event of cultivation deviation.

     Furthermore, with Davis helping her with Soul Forging Cultivation, she felt that she could improve her that cultivation system by leaps and bounds. This was in exchange for offering her protection services to Davis and his family members.

     This was the condition that they had both agreed upon, and decided to travel together after a few hours of discussion that was held two weeks ago.

     In a few seconds, the three figures who had previously garnered his attention approached him with a sad yet smiling expression on their faces.

     "Brother!" Diana came forward as she grasped his hands with a cheerful expression. At the same time, two more figures soared towards them from the air and landed beside them.

     It was Logan and Claire.

     Davis patted Diana's head and spoke with a gentle smile, "We are leaving the Grand Sea continent, be a good girl and take care of your elder sister and little brother. Only you can do it, Diana."

     Diana heavily nodded and took a step back, making way for the emotional Edward. He came forward with a stiff expression on his face and declared, "Brother, I will protect my two sisters!"

     "Haha, you will! But for that, you have to get stronger in the future, alright?"

     Edward vigorously nodded his head, holding back his tears from falling. He couldn't help but run to his mother's embrace before bawling out his rather frail emotions.

     Davis smiled and turned to look at Clara, "You're not going to say anything?"

     Clara shook her head, "Separation is just temporary. I would soon follow you all the moment I breakthrough the Law Manifestation Stage since I have the object needed to connect to the independent spatial gateway."

     Davis's pupils dilated. Logan and Claire all froze.

     Davis extended his hand and spoke with a sharp gaze, "Hand it over..."

     They had actually forgotten about this...

     421 Extravagance

      Clara widened her eyes in panic as she took a step back, "Why?"

     "It is too dangerous! We'll come to pick you up when it's time." Davis spoke as he gestured her to hand it over again.

     He had failed to consider that those who passed the King Grade Trial and above had received the key to enter the independent spatial gateway. A month ago, he was reminded of that in Princess Shirley's disappearance but now, he actually failed to connect it with Clara.

     He couldn't help but feel responsible and shudder at the fact that she would eventually come following them alone without any help!

     Clara turned a little sad but then she took a step back again and tried to escape. The next instant, she froze as she felt soul force bind her, making her unable to escape.

     "Clara, I'm being serious. Don't make your elder brother be harsh on you." Davis solemnly expressed, "I am doing this because it is in your best interests that you remain here to cultivate."

     Clara stayed silent for a few seconds. She hesitantly nodded a bit and then she felt the bind on her retracting away from her soul. She heaved a rather disappointed sigh and gave the item which looked like a token to Davis.

     "Good girl..." Davis gave off a sigh of relief and inwardly thanked the heavens for her honesty.

     Otherwise, he or his parents would've been never able to know that she had come to the First Layer by herself after they left. It would've been a disaster if the Tripartite Alliance captured her for her beauty, identity or even her talent!

     He felt that Clara was just a little girl who didn't know much about the world. Even though she could read other people and tell if they are truthful or not, it did nothing to people who only used violence to do their job.

     Clara spoke in an aggrieved tone as she cast her pure yet cold eyes to Davis "When is the time then?"

     Davis turned a little tongue-tied as he didn't know what to answer.

     "We'll pick you up when my business with the Alstriem Family is over." Suddenly, Claire expressed.

     Clara cast a gaze to her mother, "When is that?"

     "I don't know, maybe ten years... twenty years... or more but until that time, you are not allowed to take a step inside the First Layer!"

     Clara's eyes trembled, "Mother!!"

     "But!" Claire raised her hand to stop Clara from getting rather uncontrollable, "If you can reach the Seventh Stage, then you can come to the First Layer alone with the help of Ice Phoenix Mistress. Just ask that esteemed immortal to hand over another token, after all, aren't you her favorite candidate?"

     Seventh Stage? Law Dominion Stage?

     Clara took a deep breath as she breathed out. She then spoke, "Alright, I'll do as you say, mother."

     "Clara," Davis suddenly spoke, garnering her attention, "You still have to take care of your two siblings..."

     "I know! It's just... I don't want to be left behind by you..."

     Davis became stunned.

     That was right! In the past, she had already told him that she would follow him wherever he went when she was a little girl who was trying to cultivate as soon as possible, even injuring herself in the process.

     His heart sank a bit, feeling that he had been somewhat harsh on her even though he wasn't in a sense as he was just trying to care about her well-being.

     But sometimes, people think they're protecting one's well being when they forgot about their mental well-being.

     "Fine, fine... I'll come to pick you up in ten years even if we haven't finished doing what we went there for, alright?"

     Clara's eyes turned a little jubilant as she nodded her head twice, displaying luster on her face.

     Davis smiled upon seeing her turn animated. He didn't want to leave his little sister who always kept a cold expression on her face in bad or uncomfortable terms.

     "Alright, take care of yourselves from being taken advantage of." Logan suddenly spoke as he eyed Edward, Clara, and Diana. The gaze which he used landed on them, then landed for a while on Diana before it moved to Davis, "It's time to leave."

     Davis nodded seeing that his father didn't have much to say, or maybe he had too much to say, so kept his silence.

     He looked at the others as he saw them nodding in agreement. He instantly waved his hand.

     A huge structure suddenly appeared in the sky blotting out the sun that cast its bright rays over them. It was a hundred meters tall and fifty meters wide, casting even a shadow over the entire Royal Castle, blotting out the sun.

     It was like a grand dragon that appeared in the sky from nowhere. It seemed so because of the dragon patterns and designs that were etched on the huge object; the flying and portable abode!

     Numerous people in the capital were alarmed as they cast their gaze to the Royal Castle, afraid that something had happened.

     All of them, including the people who were on the roof of the Royal Castle, were simultaneously stunned, except for a single person. It was none other than Evelynn.

     He had shown this structure to her before when they had been returning to the Loret Empire for their marriage, asking if they both should travel in this but the latter's answer was simple, curbing him from using it at that time.

     "I wish to spend more time with you before our marriage."

     At that point, Davis could only shake his head at her adorable answer and lament that he could not bed her right at that moment.

     Davis shook his head and spoke, "Earth Dragon's Abode, a Peak-Level King Grade Artifact that serves as a portable structure. It has a defense that is capable of withstanding attacks from any Peak-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators while being armed with numerous offensive, defensive and supportive formations."

     This was none other than one of the nine rewards he got from clearing the King Grade Trial!

     Hearing Davis's speech, all of them who were beside him were once again stunned into silence.

     "It requires a High-Level Spirit Stones to function and operate properly." Davis smiled with a wry expression on his face.

     All of their eyes bulged as they were shocked into disbelief. They were utterly flabbergasted by the huge artifact above them.

     High-Level Spirit Stones? Didn't that mean that it needed 1,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones to function to the lowest of its capacity?"

     Logan inadvertently gulped when he imagined the scenarios where millions of spirit stones were digested into ashes by this enormous beast of an artifact.

     Claire's eyes twitched as she spoke to Davis, "Let's not use it, we'll travel by ourselves or use tamed magical beasts..."

     Davis laughed, "Mother, don't worry about it. Just go inside..."

     There were numerous entrances on all four sides of the abode. One of them opened which was near to the park and facing them.

     Claire's eyes still twitched but inside her heart, she wanted to see what kind of a world existed inside the abode artifact. Her legs took a step forward but she moved back, afraid that she would cause her son to lose his few million spirit stones.

     Suddenly, she felt her arm grasped by someone and when she turned to look at the figure, she was pulled towards the towering artifact.

     "Logan, what are you doing?" Claire widened her eyes.

     "Our son told you to not worry, so you shouldn't worry. Just get on with it, and besides, you also want to see how it looks inside, no?" Logan smiled as his eyes glowed with a fanatical light.

     Claire's lips curved upon seeing her husband act stupid upon encountering a place to explore. She couldn't help but remember how he had once done this when they were nothing but enemies.

     The two of them flew as they entered the small opening in the abode, followed by Princess Isabella and Evelynn.

     Davis smiled and cast his gaze over to his siblings and panned over their complex faces one last time, "Everyone, I'll see you in a decade or so, goodbye!"

     422 A Vague Sense Of Danger

      Somewhere amidst the vast stretches of the Desolate Plains, five silhouettes suddenly appeared as if they emerged out of nothingness.

     Even a slight ripple couldn't be detected when the five silhouettes manifested in mid-air.

     The scorching sun flashed and their blurry silhouettes became visible.

     Behind them was a huge spatial gateway that looked translucent. It slowly faded away from existence as if it had never subsisted before.

     One of them who walked out of that place clenched their fists as a mutter escaped their mouth, "It's been more than two decades..."

     It was a womanly figure. After a silent pause, that womanly figure echoed with renewed determination, "I'm finally back!"

     Her voice reverberated through the scorching lands, even picking up gust in the process.

     Suddenly, the womanly figure had its hand pried open as another figure grasped and interlocked their fingers. They looked at each other and a smile lit up their face.

     "... Mother, what does that black dot in the sky signify? Is that a sign of something untoward?" Another figure asked, startling the other four as they simultaneously looked at the sky.

     These five were none other than Davis, Evelynn, Logan, Claire, and Princess Isabella. They had just stepped out of the concealment of the individual spatial gate and truly stepped into the First Layer, Tripartite Alliance Territory, Desolate Plains.

     Davis opted to keep the huge Peak-Level King Grade Artifact, the Earth Dragon's Abode inside his spatial ring, afraid that it would attract greater trouble once they arrived at this side; the Tripartite Alliance's Territory.

     Besides, he didn't want to test if the Earth Dragon's Abode could handle the transportation stress caused by crossing the spatial gateway. If he were to lose it for this silly reason, he would've really come out as a loser.

     Furthermore, he really did see how much of a commotion it could cause, and the possible unrest and panicking that it would create as an after effect.

     It was right when the Guardian Alliance spotted the towering Earth Dragon Abode a few hundred kilometers away from the secret entrance of the Grand Sea Continent and attacked it, fearing that it came from the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

     The situation was swiftly handled by Davis and Logan, and it also created a curbing effect for people secretly trying to take this opportunity to attack or create unrest in the Loret Empire.

     It successfully made them think that offending the Loret Empire at this point was extremely detrimental to them, so they withdrew their greedy and opportunistic minds at once and pointed it at elsewhere.

     Besides, most of the members of the Guardian Alliance were recluses and other than pursuing the cultivation path, they rarely exposed themselves to the outer world.

     In accordance with this, and upon seeing Emperor Loret coming out of the Earth Dragon Abode, they all indirectly expressed their wishes for them to enter the First Layer.

     Emperor Loret didn't mince his words and said that there will be once a day where the people of the Grand Sea Continent will be able to pursue their paths in the First Layer.

     To his statement, they all sang praises and delivered their congratulations in hopes of being taken away next time to the First Layer.

     "I don't know..." Claire replied belatedly with a bewildered tone. It could be seen that she was unsure of what it even was in the first place.

     Davis narrowed his eyes. He could feel a vague sense of danger silently emanating from the dark speck of light in the sky.

     "That looks ominous..." He commented and the other four nodded their heads in agreement.

     "Can you feel something from that dark spot?" He asked again but the other four looked at him suspiciously before shaking their heads.

     Davis frowned even more. He could see that the other four couldn't feel what he was sensing.

     'Could it be because of the Karma Laws that I could feel danger?' Davis inwardly mused and posed his question towards Fallen Heaven.

     "It should be..." Fallen Heaven replied with an unsure tone, "I said that these entire three layers were created by this existence who sealed me, so that black spot in the sky could possibly represent something tearing open this world from the outside..."

     'W-What!??'

     Davis became stunned!

     "Are you sure?" He inquired as he shouted inside his soul sea.

     This matter was way out of his cultivation base if Fallen Heaven's words were true! Someone could pry open this world should be an equal existence to the being who sealed Fallen Heaven here.

     He didn't want to face such an opponent and risk losing himself or his family for no reason!

     "Maybe... The spatial ripples from that dark speck of light are vague but real. The only possibilities I could infer from that is either this sealed world had reached its end or it is being pried open from outside."

     Davis was absolutely flabbergasted. Both weren't a good scenario! How was he supposed to react to this!?

     He could feel a type of law emanating from the ripples created by the black dot but only with the words of Fallen Heaven was he able to tell that it was spatial laws.

     From Fallen Heaven's words, both of the scenarios seemed likely...

     In fact, if Fallen Heaven's words became true, then he felt that he should stay clear of this danger and let the two great entities fight each other till death!

     But a battle at their level might undoubtedly involve trillions of lives in the First Layer, even involving them. At that time, he felt that he should at least become a powerhouse above the Ninth Stage and take his family out of this space containing three layers.

     "Or, something entirely different could happen as well. It's not like I know much about spatial laws since I am aligned with death."

     With another warning from Fallen Heaven, Davis's expression turned solemn as he silently gazed at the black dot.

     'Why?' Davis inwardly lamented, 'This dark speck of light in the sky did not exist when I was in the First Layer...'

     'Why? Why did it suddenly appear? From when did it appear? And why can I feel a vague sense of danger emanating when I look at the dark speck of light?'

     A sense of urgency to get even stronger welled up within himself but the words that Fallen Heaven said next, made his heart turn tranquil.

     "In any case, it took me an unknown amount of years, probably numbering in the billions for me to break out of the seal. It should be the case for this black dot in the sky. Even if it weren't a million years, it should at least a few hundred thousand years before it can break open this vast world."

     Davis imperceptibly nodded his head to its not so optimistic views.

     Even if it weren't so many years, he garnered that he would reach the Ninth Stage within 500 years just by cultivating passively. So the sense urgency that welled up within him vanished as he cast a look in a direction.

     Just a moment ago, he swept his Soul Sense and managed to find a peculiar scenery that first attracted his attention.

     In the location where he concentrated his senses, there was a huge ice mountain, encasing the surface of the sandy plains. The area around looked as if it had been scorched to some degree but the center where the ice mountain was present gave the place an oasis.

     423 Exposed To Guests

      The desert around and the scorched yet icy oasis in the middle formed a contrast that left him deeply intrigued. Furthermore, he sensed a vague sense of familiarity from that peculiar scenery, causing him to take a deep breath.

     However, that was the first peculiarity that garnered his attention. As for the second...

     He suddenly spoke as he turned to look at another direction, "Let's leave that black speck in the sky as it is, we've got some incoming guests to greet..."

     With the previous sweep of his Soul Sense, he also discovered a few cultivators heading in their direction without taking curves, as if they knew that some people were here.

     He extended his Soul Sense to a wider range and managed to discover an unknown formation that spread out an energy wave like an echo, almost like a radar.

     'So that's what it is...' Davis inwardly laughed as he found out why they were discovered. However, he was not amused.

     He had made a mistake.

     Instead of relying on the individual spatial gate's peculiarity, he should've cloaked them all with his Dark Concealing Shroud Art. Nevertheless, it was too late for lamenting because their group had already been discovered.

     Although he garnered that he was not discovered, the same couldn't be said about the others who were with him, especially Evelynn, who was just at the Peak of the Body Transformation Stage, her cultivation delayed due to the lack of a suitable poison attributed cultivation manual.

     The others braced themselves for battle while Davis and Princess Isabella had a calm expression on their faces, the latter even having an amused expression on her face.

     Logan and Claire looked at the two of them and were reassured that the incoming enemies were easy to handle.

     Evelynn panicked as she saw the small silhouettes on top of a boat-like structure at the distance approaching them at a faster speed.

     This was a new world for her and other than the Grand Sea Continent Meet, she never went outside to battle. The rapidly approaching figures who emanated powerful undulations made her heart tremble in trepidation.

     Davis laughed as he cast a glance at her fidgety figure. He thought it was fine to be scared of the ones with the higher power, especially now where he could sense that there were even Seventh Stage Cultivators approaching them!

     Soon, in less than a minute, more than thirty cultivators arrived near them as they traveled on a boat like an artifact.

     It was a flying boat to be exact, which was twenty meters long and ten meters wide. Its bow was sharp and slightly blunt, perfect for ramming. A long mast held up the sail, and on the sail was the symbol of the Tripartite Alliance along with a speck of snow surrounding it.

     From the undulations the flying boat emitted, it could be sensed that it was at least at High-Level Sky Grade.

     Before they arrived and was able to see them in person or soul sense, Davis had already chosen to mask himself and the others with his soul force, so that their identities may stay hidden. Sure, they had found them but not their identities but only their undulations.

     To the enemies, they would only be able to view their faces as a blur unless another Soul Forging Cultivator equaling Davis arrived in this place to unravel or disperse the blur caused by his soul force.

     It was always in Davis's ways of doing things to avoid trouble that could be avoided. He looked at the stoic people in front of him, wanting to diffuse this situation through sophistry and deceit.

     One of them alighted from the flying boat, followed by the entire entourage who were behind. They stood in a row and the one in the front spoke in a questioning and arrogant tone, "Who are you all? Why are you all hiding your faces? Remove your facades for me to see!"

     The one who spoke was one of the three Seventh Stage Cultivators who approached them.

     He looked suave while wearing unique blue robes which indicated that he was from the Falling Snow Sect Faction. All of them were from the Falling Snow Sect Faction of the Tripartite Alliance because it could be seen that they all wore those same blue robes with minute differences, probably differentiating their statuses.

     Davis looked at the person as he gauged his strength and manner. The other party did indeed have the power to be arrogant in front of them.

     'However, they're not worried or terrorized by the fact that there's a black hole hanging in the sky...' He instantly saw through them and then garnered their reaction to him.

     'Even though the other party recognized that my soul force is beyond his comprehension, he isn't afraid?' Davis's eyes imperceptibly flashed. At the same time he caught sight of a familiar figure causing him to be surprised but he didn't show it on his face.

     Even if he were to display his surprise, his face was still blurred by his soul force.

     "We came here through using a special spatial talisman. As for our identifies, you are not qualified to know about it." Davis calmly spoke as he tried to diffuse the situation.

     If possible, he wanted to enter Alstreim Family Territory without much trouble, but trouble knocked on his door as soon as he came here. This made him think that his luck was still screwed up as ever.

     Maybe it had got something to do with that dark speck of light in the sky? Davis silently lamented again.

     As if being provoked, the Seventh Stage Cultivator spoke, "I am an elder of the Tripartite Alliance who goes by the name Valoi and you're telling me that I'm not qualified to know? Could it be that you five are people of powerful background!?"

     Saying so, he laughed, "Hahaha, such people of importance are already recorded in our intelligence for the past 3 years and if such esteemed persons were to appear, we would know about them and they would openly tour the Tripartite Alliance Territory unlike the five of you who are hiding behind some soul techniques!"

     "Besides, I have some knowledge spatial laws but I don't seem to sense any ripples in this place caused by using a spatial talisman you told me about..."

     Davis secretly rolled his eyes in exasperation. Why did all the enemies he faced have to be smart?

     Indeed, how can a mere Seventh Stage Cultivator find the spatial undulations caused by the independent spatial gateway? As for how Princess Isabella was caught in a quagmire when chased by the people of Tripartite Alliance back then, it had likely got to do with when the independent spatial gateway was opened, releasing all those undulations it had stored after an extremely long time of dormancy, maybe billions of years.

     Most of the cultivation novels he read in the past had brainless enemies facing the MCs, but for him, it was just the opposite. Even a nobody can in his book pinpoint a trivial fact and know his words a lie.

     As Davis silently lamented his unlucky fate, he totally forgot about the fact that Elder Valoi is a Seventh Stage Cultivator, someone he can defeat only through the help of Fallen Heaven, not a nobody.

     He promptly sighed as the thought of convincing them through sophistry disappeared. The more he tried to explain himself the more it would appear that he was not from a powerful background. At that time, he would be thoroughly exposed.

     Besides, the formation which wasn't previously here that could detect people... The peculiar scenery a few kilometers away from here... All this told him that the Tripartite Alliance was expecting them to show up.

     His eyes flashed with imperceptible killing intent. He instantly sent a Soul Transmission to Princess Isabella, "We'll make the first move..."

     424 Preemptive Strike!

      Instantly, a translucent dark wave of soul force emerged out of Davis's soul and spread to the front in a narrow-angle, catching them off-guard as it forcefully suppressed their movements and energy circulations. The soul force was like a curtain of shadow and combined with the dark speck of light in the sky, the curtain of shadow looked ominous to the extreme, instantly striking fear into their hearts.

     Elder Valoi's face changed as his eyes widened. He forcefully took a step forward and broke the suppression that Davis had cast with his soul force and so did the other two Seventh Stage Cultivators with only a slight delay.

     They revolved their Low-Level Law Dominion Cultivation and just when they about to release their domains, a womanly figure appeared in front of them.

     Princess Isabella clenched her fists and released a casual punch at Elder Valoi, her eyes void of any emotion or excitement.

     Elder Valoi's saw those clear eyes and his scalp tingled as the threat of death engulfed his very soul. He could not help but shout to forcefully regain courage.

     "Ahhhhhh!~"

     *Boom!~*

     A resounding boom echoed and the despairing cry of Elder Valoi spread throughout the surroundings as his entire body was destroyed and exploded into countless crimson flesh of meat, his splatter of blood soaking everyone who was near him.

     The resulting force of the punch that scattered to the back after killing Valoi was forcefully withstood by the two other Low-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators.

     "Ahhh! Bastards!!!! Inform the headquarters about these bastards!!" A cry echoed out as a soul-body flew out of the place where Valoi was destroyed.

     Princess Isabella promptly ignored Valoi's soul body as she flew towards the two other Seventh Stage Cultivators in an instant. Her silhouette simultaneously disappeared from her extremely fast speed.

     The two Law Dominion Stage Cultivators scalp turned numb as they instantly tried to escape!

     One punch! One preemptive punch was all it took for their senior elder, who was at Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage to be completely crippled! They instantly and instinctively knew that they had no chance to fight against this unknown yet powerful woman.

     Davis's Soul Suppression Art rendered all Sixth Stage Cultivators who were way behind the Seventh Stage Cultivators, useless! His Soul Forging Cultivation was at Low-Level Mature Soul Stage but due to the effects of strengthening his soul force through the Soul Emergence Pill, he would be able to fight equally with High-Level Mature Soul Stage Experts.

     While those Seventh Stage Essence Gathering Cultivators were able to forcefully breakthrough his suppression, the same couldn't be said about those Sixth Stage Essence Gathering Cultivators!

     Such level of suppression fell on those Sixth Stage Essence Gathering Cultivators! Their souls were weak, so once could imagine how they were gritting their teeth to even withstand the suppression which sought to make them faint.

     When Elder Valoi's fleshy body was destroyed into bloodied meat by Princess Isabella's single punch, he locked on to the escaping soul body sent his soul force towards it.

     'Heh! A mere Peak-Level Adult Soul Stage Soul...' Davis inwardly suppressed the backlash as he continued to suppress through sheer will. He extended his hands towards the escaping soul and clenched.

     Previously he was able to not do anything to this cultivator because the difference between their cultivations was too large, but now, without a fleshy body that hosted the Essence Gathering Cultivation System...

     A trapping sphere formed of his soul force quickly entrapped Valoi's soul body and rendered it useless.

     Davis then turned his attention over to the two Seventh Stage Cultivators who were being chased by Princess Isabella. One of them was already caught in her grasps as she unleashed numerous punches filled with an earth dragon's mighty force.

     The Law Dominion Cultivator had his concentration full on defense while the other Law Dominion Stage Cultivator supported by forming a weak elementless domain.

     A water domain that was like a curtain of water spread out for a few kilometers and then shrank, helping both of them defend from Princess Isabella's onslaught.

     Even so, her fists carried an explosive might that splashed away any defenses put up by the water domain, depleting the energy of both of the cultivators at a faster rate.

     Their expressions contorted and just when they tried to think of another plan, an exploding soul suppression bellowed at the cultivator who was using the Water Domain.

     The Water Domain which only covered a few meters now shook and dispersed as it popped like a water balloon.

     At the same time, Princess Isabella narrowed her eyes and instantly closed the distance between them as she released a kick to the head.

     The Law Dominion Cultivator froze as the Soul Suppression arrived again, sending his senses to disarray. Before he could even forcefully lift the suppression, he was killed with a resounding boom, without even being able to release a cry of despair. His end was even crueler and ruthless than Elder Valoi as his soul in the glabella was targeted along with his fleshy body.

     "Fozray!!" The last remaining Law Dominion Stage Cultivator angrily shouted and looked at the woman in hatred. He instantly abandoned all hopes of escaping and took a jade stone from his spatial ring.

     'Ah, no you don't!' Davis narrowed his eyes as he saw this scene.

     Just before the Law Dominion Stage Cultivator could shout at the jade stone, his body stiffened and his eyes went dull.

     At the same time, Princess Isabella rushed forwards and blasted his body into bits and pieces with her earth-attributed punch but a confused expression filled her face as she looked towards Davis.

     The last Seventh Stage Cultivator didn't even know how he had died.

     Her eyes glinted with suspicion, 'How was he able to stop that Low-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivator with just his Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation?'

     Seventh Stage against a Sixth Stage? The result was obvious, however, how Davis able to stop the cultivator from moving for a second?

     Davis held his head and acted as if it ached. He bent a knee over as if he couldn't support himself.

     Princess Isabella blinked, arriving at the conclusion that he had forcefully suppressed the Law Dominion Stage Cultivator to the limit and injured his own soul in the process.

     Evelynn instantly came beside him and helped support him from slumping. Davis shook his head as he massaged his forehead. He dropped down for a while and stood up, thanking Evelynn for her help.

     His mother asked that if he were okay and he replied with a nod while doing the same to Princess Isabella.

     Princess Isabella slowly flew as she returned to their position and asked, "Did you injure your soul?"

     "Hmm, slightly..." Davis replied but he was entirely lying.

     Other than the slight pain which came from his soul due to his Soul Suppression Art being forcefully broken by Elder Valoi, he felt nothing.

     The soul injury was just a lie to cover up the fact that he used Fallen Heaven to kill the last Law Dominion Stage Cultivator.

     After he killed the Law Dominion Stage Cultivator, Princess Isabella thought that only her opponent's movements were restricted and didn't think that he was killed the moment before she blasted him apart.

     She didn't have the luxury to stop and see what happened to the Law Dominion Stage Cultivator due to the latter trying to send a message to the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters.

     She was also well aware of what would happen, so she didn't hesitate and went in for the kill. At the same time, she secretly sighed as this was the first time she fought against Seventh Stage Cultivators out of the Emperor Grade Trial.

     It was easier than she thought it would be, or maybe it was also because of the preemptive strike and the support she had from Davis's soul suppression art.

     425 Casting A Slave Seal

      Claire and Logan looked at their son and Princess Isabella working in tandem to defeat three Seventh Stage Cultivators! They were absolutely dumbfounded by the view in front of them!

     They couldn't believe that they both managed to quickly kill two Seventh Stage Cultivators in a matter of seconds, leaving only one alive who was currently being suppressed.

     This was a battle they couldn't participate in!

     However, just because their son and Princess Isabella did everything they didn't dare to relax. They stood side by side with Evelynn and warily protected her from an attack that could suddenly appear.

     Davis cast a glance at the Sixth Stage Cultivators who were absolutely suppressed by his Soul Suppression Art, unable to do anything. More than half of them had already fainted while some others were either angry or scared to the core.

     Davis looked towards the distance and noticed a desperate yet determined silhouette flying towards them as fast as it could. He cast a glance towards the pale Sixth Stage Cultivators again before turning to look towards Elder Valoi's soul body.

     Elder Valoi was absolutely livid! His expression contorted into wretched ugliness as if he were a ghost that came for vengeance.

     Davis pitied the poor man but who told him to come towards them and strut of their might? Did he ask for such behavior? It would've been just better if he and his family could leave this territory to arrive at the Alstriem Family Territory but they just had to interfere.

     Davis absolutely couldn't have the other party make the first move or he and his entourage would've undoubtedly fallen into a disadvantaged position right off the start.

     With Evelynn with him together, he had to be careful not to make any mistakes, otherwise, with just their domains spread over to his side, they could've either killed her or taken her as a hostage. He would've been powerless to do anything if such an event were to occur.

     He had heard about domains from Old Man Garvin.

     Domains were a cultivator's dominion. Inside their domain, they could unleash incredible powers, even capable of killing Sixth Stage Cultivators in an instant.

     That's why the whole Seventh Stage was designated as King Grade, unlike the lower grades which covered two stages each. Mortal Grade covered the First and Second Stage. Earth Grade covered the Third and Fourth Stage. Sky Grade covered the Fifth Stage and Sixth Stage while King Grade only encompassed the Seventh Stage.

     Princess Isabella didn't possess a domain since she was a Body Tempering Cultivator, and neither did Davis. So he had to take the initiative to kill them. At least, his decision to quickly was better than being pushed into a disadvantage.

     For Body Tempering Cultivators, only Eighth Stage Experts possessed the ability to cast a domain. However, the domain would be different from what the Essence Gathering Cultivators would release.

     Davis looked at Elder Valoi's soul which was trying to implode but didn't couldn't. The latter's face turned even more ugly when he discovered that he couldn't escape or even end his own life to preserve honor.

     He knew there were even more ugly things than death!

     Davis made Elder Valoi's soul unable to disperse like self-destructing one's owns dantian.

     This was one of the techniques he learned from Old Man Garvin, and the latter also used the same technique to trap and render Elder Severin's Soul useless.

     He stretched his hand and the sphere which trapped Valoi's soul moved towards him.

     As it arrived before him, he cast the Sacred Mark Art which was a slave seal type art he learned in the library of the Royal Castle.

     A golden light with yellowish hue and patterns flew from his glabella and landed on Elder Valoi's soul body after it crossed through the sphere made by his soul force.

     Elder Valoi saw the incoming soul technique as his pupils trembled and laughed in desperation, "Haha! Even if you can cast a slave seal on me, you can't deprive me of my will!! I swear that I will see your dead body before I die!"

     Davis narrowed his gaze but he still then intended to cast a slave seal on Elder Valoi as planned.

     The moment the Sacred Mark Art fell on Valoi's soul body, it dissolved into the transparent layer as if it disappeared into Elder Valoi's Soul Sea.

     Elder Valoi widened his eyes as it flashed but then he let out a laugh before crazily smiling at Davis, "As expected, this is one of..."

     Valoi wanted to say that the slave seal that Davis used was one of the most basic ones but then his eyes stiffened as a dull light radiated.

     'Truly, the slave seal art I know of is truly the basic ones. Even Old Man Garvin didn't have such advanced slave seal art that is capable of depriving one's will and only deigned to use Blood Soul Contract to control people.' Davis mused as he wryly shook his head.

     So what if he possessed no better slave seal arts? Didn't he possess an even greater treasure that is capable of depriving the will of people?

     Davis sinisterly thought before he smiled at Elder Valoi who essentially became a puppet after being controlled by Fallen Heaven.

     The Sacred Mark Art was only a farce, and his main reason to use it was too make it seem like he had gained complete control over the stubborn Elder through a slave seal.

     However, just in case, at the same time, he cast another technique which flew into Valoi's soul body but did nothing.

     He made it seem like he cast another technique to attract less suspicion from others who knew a thing or two about slave seals, Sacred Mark Art, like Logan and Claire.

     After all, they knew the capability of the slave seal technique since they also learned it, even casting it on some people in the Royal Castle.

     A few seconds later, the silhouette which he saw heading in their direction approaching towards the place where the Sixth Stage Cultivators were immobilized, in a state where they were unable to do anything, and some of them have even fainted.

     The silhouette arrived near the Sixth Stage Experts and propped up a womanly figure into his arms, supporting her up.

     The Sixth Stage Cultivators who have not fainted realized that the one who came here was the rumored man of that woman.

     They didn't dare to believe it at first but now, it seemed that it was the case!

     "Great! H-Hadian, you're here! H-Help us report these five i-invaders to the headquarters!" One the Sixth Stage Cultivators gritted their teeth as he spoke.

     It took almost every ounce of will for that cultivator to even just speak as he spat out a mouthful of blood, a form of backlash from trying to overthrow the soul suppression to speak.

     Hadian turned to look at that cultivator coldly but then glanced at another Sixth Stage Cultivator who looked at him with pleading eyes, his gaze transferring thousands of meanings to comprehend.

     Hadian nodded his head at that middle-aged cultivator and looked over to the five enemies who had their faces blurred, a feeling of trepidation reverberated in his heart.

     With his Soul Sense, it was not difficult to see what had happened here. In fact, even the undulations of the battle fought by the Seventh Stage Cultivators and Princess Isabella spread across the desert for hundreds of kilometers.

     The Magical Beasts ran away and even the rogue cultivators had escaped once they felt the undulations, not daring to stay behind.

     But the reason why he was the only one to be present around here entirely was because of the woman he held in his hands.

     The woman in his arms was none other than Mulia!

     426 Such Is Life

      These two who were holding each other whole feeling intense emotions were none other than the pair of secret lovers who completed their pre-nuptial ceremony in a tomb that Davis proceeded to investigate to complete a mission of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

     At that time, he had just entered the Farz Mountains and headed to the West End Valley to investigate Quade Hansen's Tomb for any anomaly but instead saw a pair of lovers confirm their feeling for each other through physical intimacy.

     When Davis left Quade Hansen's Tomb, he was captured by Elder Severin but was later saved by Mulia, then brought to a mysterious tomb.

     After the event with Old Man Garvin and Elder Severin's Death, these two were forced to separate because the matter about their rendezvous had come into light when investigated by the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters, however, Davis didn't know about that.

     Hadian's heart stiffened as he developed a sense of loss.

     Today was the day where they promised to escape with each other to the horizon of unknown scenery but who could've thought Mulia would've met with this unknown calamity.

     Hadian's eyes flashed even though he was downcast. His stance which was always prideful lowered as he knelt, "Seniors! I beg you to let this woman go!"

     The Sixth Stage Cultivators who were still conscious had their eyes tremble from fright and disbelief. Was Hadian going to not inform the headquarters to take revenge for them?

     Hadian didn't refer Mulia as his woman because he didn't want the other party to develop strange and advantageous thoughts.

     At this time, Davis had just finished storing Elder Valoi's soul into a strange vial that he held in his hands. It was previously the vial that Old Man Garvin had used to store the soul body of Elder Severin at that time.

     "Oh? And why should I?" Davis asked in a curious yet arrogant tone, one befitting of the persona he had previously adopted, tyrannical and arrogant to the extreme. He simultaneously kept the vial into his spatial ring.

     Living things couldn't be kept inside a spatial ring but after being suppressed and sealed, they could be kept inside.

     Hadian inwardly lost almost all hope. If the other party refused to let her go... He didn't even want to think about it.

     Even the three Seventh Stage Cultivators were decimated in a few seconds! Even someone without a brain can see that they would die if they didn't do something like begging.

     However, from the looks of it, it seemed like the other party was somewhat reasonable, willing to engage in negotiations.

     "In exchange, I am willing to give my life to you! Whether it be a slave or to end my life! I'm willing!" Hadian shouted with a determined expression on his face.

     Instantly, he felt the soft body in his arms tremble. He looked at her face and saw the tears threatening to fall out of her eyes.

     "Very well," Davis spoke, making Hadian's eyes lit up both in sadness and relief but the next words he heard made his face turn ugly.

     "However, I don't understand what is the use of making you my soul slave when I can make her my soul slave."

     Hadian gritted his teeth as rage clouded his mind but when he heard the next words, his heart calmed down. He couldn't reveal that he had deep ties with this woman, otherwise... The other party might possibly ask for more...

     "I don't care whoever decides to give their life to me in exchange for their offense, but the woman in your arms looks like she wants to speak something..." Davis snapped his fingers and the suppression he employed on Mulia slightly decreased, allowing her to speak and move a little bit.

     Mulia's body trembled as her lips moved, "H-Hadian, don't you dare..."

     Hadian looked at her with a wry smile on his face while tears fell out of her eyes, "We should have escaped a day sooner..."

     "Please don't..." Mulia pleaded in a guilty tone.

     If only she hadn't planned to elope today but a day sooner, none of this would've happened. Hadian had already laid out the plan to elope way earlier, but every time the date arrived, she would chicken out while thinking about her parents and uncle Erik for the trouble she would cause them.

     What was the result? Hadian's life?

     She instantly felt immense guilt.

     Hadian shook his head and Mulia was about to respond.

     "Enough!" Davis shouted as if his patience fell.

     Mulia felt suppressed again. Her expression contorted. She could no longer speak nor move, however, tears started to cascade down her cheeks like a waterfall.

     "You have to live..." Hadian's facial expression was calm. He had already made his decision.

     He had already made his decision to make her his woman at that time, and he never fell out of it, even at the cost of betraying Towering Cloud Hall Faction.

     This time was the same.

     "Senior, in exchange for my life, I ask you to let her go without harming her in any way."

     "Very well! This exchange, I accept!" Davis nodded his head and waved his hands.

     A golden glow along with yellow patterns condensed. The Sacred Mark Art instantly flew towards Hadian's body.

     Seeing this, many of the Sixth Stage Cultivators were tempted to become a slave just so they could live but their pride and belonging didn't allow them to do so they quickly curbed their thoughts.

     However, the other party did really seem like a person of background. They couldn't help but secretly reconsider.

     Once the Sacred Mark Art entered Hadian's body, he shook. He closed his eyes and inhaled a deep amount of breath before exhaling his misery.

     Davis suddenly let out a sinister laugh as another wave of soul suppression descended on everybody, threatening to crush them to meat paste.

     "You fool! I will let her go now but who could say that in the future that I will not have my way with her! Hahaha!"

     The Sixth Stage Experts all lost their consciousness once they heard his words.

     Hadian's eyes widened but his reasoning told him that it was too late. He felt the speck of light in his soul sea disappear while the Sixth Stage Cultivators fainted in front of his eyes as they all fell to the ground. His eyes lost hope and he slowly turned to look at Mulia's shocked face, his heart clenching in despair.

     However, when he saw Mulia stand up as if she wasn't affected by the Soul Suppression, his eyes which were dull regained light, "... Mulia, escape from this place, never come to this territory again. Go back to the Falling Snow Sect Territory, and never step out of your parent's home..."

     A wry smile emerged on his face.

     So what if he sacrificed himself? In the end, he still came out as a loser, a mere slave to an unknown being to whom he had not even offended.

     'Such is life...' A vague understanding flashed past his mind.

     He turned his head to his front and saw his new master approaching in his direction slowly and leisurely as if what had happened to them wasn't a big matter in the first place.

     As the blurry figure came in front of him, his heart shook.

     *Pahh!~*

     427 You“re That Boy!

      A slap echoed, resounding throughout the area.

     Hadian was shocked! He placed his palm on his cheek as he felt it burn from pain.

     "Are you an idiot? Do you think your enemy will sympathize with your thoughts and reciprocate your feelings?"

     Hadian grew even more stunned. He had just become a slave but he was already being disciplined? He couldn't help but feel that he should live anymore with this insult.

     His teeth clattered from immense rage and shame.

     What choice did he have other than to exchange his life for his woman? Could it be that he was allowed to make a contract with the other party?

     Ridiculous!

     Other than doing a leap of faith and hoping for the best outcome, none of the future was in his hands.

     His face contorted but he didn't lash out. He knew that there was someone whom he should protect with his entire life was behind him.

     "Miss Mulia, I'm disappointed. Is this the man you chose? It's fine if the outcome is beneficial to you but he tried to do something useless like sacrificing himself in vain?"

     Hadian turned confused as he heard the former part of the sentence but then his eyes widened.

     'What!? This person knew Mulia?'

     Behind Hadian, Mulia clenched her fists in helplessness as she looked at her beloved being humiliated but then turned stunned when she heard the blurry figure's words.

     The blur that was obstructing from seeing Davis's face quivered and disappeared.

     Mulia's eyes froze but then she muttered a moment later, "You... You're that boy..."

     Davis's lips curved into a smile, an evil one to be exact.

     Mulia felt a chill up her spine when she saw his expression.

     Just as Davis tried to reach his hands towards Mulia as if he was going to touch her, a voice echoed behind him.

     "This farce has gone for too long, my dear husband."

     Davis froze and turned to look back at the approaching Evelynn with an awkward smile on his face. Her words were filled with an abnormal tone, especially at the latter part of the sentence.

     He inwardly let out a sigh realizing that he had gone a little bit far with his acting.

     "Alright, Miss Mulia, take care, I'll be leaving then..." Davis said in a casual tone as he turned around.

     Mulia couldn't comprehend what had happened while Hadian couldn't either.

     "Wait!"

     Mulia suddenly shouted as she panicked.

     "Hmm?"

     Davis looked back at her and shot her an inquisitive gaze.

     "You... Release him from that slave seal!" Mulia shouted as she pointed towards Hadian, unable to calm herself down. Disbelief was still clouding her mind.

     Davis turned amused, "Why should I?"

     "You! ...I saved you at that time!" Mulia yelled in grievance. Her eyes were still moist and desperate, different from the time she had faced others calmly and indifferently.

     It was as if the latter personality was a facade to distance herself from numerous people.

     Hadian currently had a lost expression on his face while still covering his cheek. He looked below him, looking at the fainted Sixth Stage Cultivators and the fleshy remains of the Seventh Stage Cultivators.

     He turned to look back at Mulia, not understanding what was going on. If they were friendly, why did all this mess ensue in the first place? Why did he have to sell himself to become a slave? He was absolutely lost.

     "Miss Mulia, you were supposed to be dead at that tomb. Don't you know why you're still alive right now?" Davis spoke back, making her realize.

     Mulia froze as she finally understood why she and her uncle were the only ones who can escape from that place after the two factions left.

     Her hand trembled as she knew that she could no longer use this leverage to ask him for a favor.

     Even if she insisted that the reason she was not saved was because of him, would the other party listen to her words? That would only be making it disadvantageous for her as it could be considered rude and nagging.

     She knew this point so she didn't know what to do anymore, so she could only cast a helpless gaze to Davis.

     "Besides, why should I release him from a slave seal when I haven't even placed it on him in the first place?" Davis spoke as he yawned.

     Mulia was stunned.

     She instantly probed Hadian with her Soul Sense and really couldn't find any slave seal but for all she knew, she thought that it could be hidden from her weak soul sense.

     Hadian's body shook and he instantly checked his Soul Sea. If there were any abnormalities, he could more or less sense it since it was his own. A soul seal is mostly a seal that shouldn't be able to stay unnoticed by the victim unlike the other soul techniques used for tracking.

     He blinked and realized there wasn't anything suspicious in his soul sea neither did he felt shackled.

     'What's happening?' Hadian couldn't believe his ears nor his soul sense.

     Mulia anxiously asked, "Hadian, do you feel some discomfort?"

     Hadian paused for a moment before confusedly shaking his head.

     Not being able to understand, Mulia hesitatingly questioned Davis with a slight amount of fear, "Did you not really place a slave seal on him?"

     Davis shrugged, "I didn't..."

     "Then what was that golden speck of light that entered my soul?" Hadian asked with an incredulous expression on his face.

     "A slave seal..." Davis spoke and after their expressions changed, he continued, "I broke the technique after it entered his soul sea."

     "Impossible!" Hadian muttered as he couldn't believe his ears.

     'I fall prey to a freaking feint?' His mouth was utterly agape with disbelief encasing his pupils.

     "That's why I said I'm disappointed in you. You gave up even before the fight began, making yourself fall into a passive position." Davis coldly spoke.

     Hadian's heart shook as he took a step back.

     "Not only did you foolishly rely on the enemy's pity, you even considered you were sacrificing yourself for your woman and managed to gain self-satisfaction through it!"

     Hadian kept shaking his head, denying Davis's claims.

     Davis coldly chuckled, "Well, if you didn't gain self-satisfaction? Why were you content and accepted the outcome, just floating there without even checking your soul if you could do something about the situation?"

     Hadian froze as his gaze turned stiff. A feeling of shame welled up within him.

     From Davis's words, he realized that it was indeed the case.

     'I gave up even before the fight began?' He contemplated these words and he couldn't feel but get angry at himself for his gullibility.

     He felt that he was saving her but realized that in the truth that he was just delaying the inevitable.

     "That's right! In the same event, you can do nothing with your current cultivation base but just rely on the opponent's pity and mercy for a better future but you had the gall to think that you actually managed to achieve something and be content with it?"

     Hadian looked like he had been dealt the final blow to his self-confidence. He collapsed but instantly a frail arm supported him from falling.

     He turned his face away from Mulia as shame threatened to engulf him.

     He could do nothing to protect her and that was the truth! The irrefutable reality! Even though it was hard to swallow, he understood it.

     Mulia embraced him as she spoke in a guilty voice, "It's my fault."

     She knew that his thoughts were revolving around her safety. She also couldn't help but inwardly lament, 'If only I hadn't delayed...'

     428 A Failsafe Plan

      "You don't have to say anything..." Hadian spoke, still angry with himself for being naive.

     Their expressions varied but they were wallowing in self-blame, blaming themselves for being useless.

     "My apologies, fellow cultivators..." The feminine voice which echoed before sounded again.

     Evelynn spoke at this time and managed to garner their attention a little bit.

     Hadian and Mulia both turned their heads to look at her, however, their eyes were viewing her with concern, wondering what would happen to them.

     Evelynn floated before them, beside Davis, "I've heard about you two from my husband. Especially, Miss Mulia, I just thank you for saving my husband from that vile man known as Elder Severin at that time."

     "Although my husband is rude, he is thankful to you and meant no harm. As proof, you can see that he waited till he painted himself as evil and knocked out almost all the Sixth Stage Cultivators before revealing himself."

     Mulia was stunned. She turned to look at the fainted Sixth Stage Cultivators and realized that Davis really did do what this woman said.

     Hadian also has a sudden bout of enlightenment as he turned to look at Davis, "You did that for us?"

     Davis shook his head and pointed at Mulia without mincing his words, "For my benefactor..."

     Indeed, after faking the soul seal, he had released the full mastery of the Soul Suppression Art and made the Sixth Stage Cultivators faint till they bled from their nose.

     But Mulia just realized another matter, "Wait! Almost all?"

     She instantly turned to look at the fainted Sixth Stage Cultivators and spotted the figure she was most worried about now that the present danger had been averted.

     That figure slowly stood up and smiled back at her as it waved its hands.

     "Uncle Erik!" Mulia shouted in joy. She had thought that her uncle had fainted along with the other Sixth Stage Cultivators but who would've thought that he was still conscious!

     "Youngster, it wasn't nice of you to bind my movements." Uncle Erik spoke as flew towards them with a smile on his face.

     "What are you saying? I released you the moment I knocked out the other Sixth Stage Cultivators. It was you who chose to act like you fainted!" Davis ruthlessly exposed this man.

     Yes, he had already told about his plans to this man before he kept the vial inside his spatial ring to avoid misunderstandings. He was thorough with his actions and didn't leave any blindspot behind.

     Even if an unexpected situation occurred right now, Mulia's uncle would explain to her of the overall situation.

     As for why Uncle Erik co-operated with Davis, it was none other than for this reason.

     Mulia widened her eyes in astonishment, her eyes colored with disbelief, "You were in the know?"

     "Yes, just a while ago, this youngster informed me through Soul Transmission. You two can finally escape from the clutches of those who want to control your lives for their own greed." Uncle Erik spoke while looking at Hadian and Mulia with a profound and gentle gaze.

     Davis was speechless that this man managed to hide his embarrassment and change the topic casually as moving his hand.

     He felt that he really couldn't underestimate old-timers, especially those who were above 100 years old. Even if they were idiots, they compromised it with their outlook and experiences in life, making them wise.

     "I was also interested in what this youngster has to say and I agree with him." Uncle Erik spoke as he looked at Hadian with a reproachful gaze but he then turned to look at Davis, "But did it occur to you that you were also once helpless against Elder Severin. If it weren't for Mulia..."

     "I know, I know," Davis cut him off and spoke, "Isn't that why I'm helping you all right now? Even for an outsider like me, it isn't too difficult to see that Miss Mulia and he are having it difficult to even be together. Making the Sixth Stage Cultivators faint was just a little help from me, making them believe that you two were taken away by those blurred figures which are us, otherwise, I would've just killed them to make sure our presence doesn't get leaked. That's why I also didn't hesitate to kill the Seventh Stage Cultivators."

     Hearing Davis explain the three of them understood his intentions.

     Once Mulia understood, her anxious and rigid expression relaxed into one of relief. Hadian's guilty eyes flashed while Uncle Erik nodded in agreement.

     They no longer felt that Davis and his group threatened their safety even though they still felt some fear.

     "Our internal squabbles are plenty and because of the previous matter between Mulia and Hadian being discovered by the elders of their family, we were reluctantly made to join this group under the order of the headquarters." Uncle Erik replied without a pause.

     Davis gave a nod as he understood the other party's meaning.

     Although the dead Seventh Stage Cultivators and fainted Sixth Stage Cultivators were high-ranking experts in the Falling Snow Sect Faction, Uncle Erik's words meant that he wasn't bothered about Davis killing them.

     Uncle Erik did not intend to take offense for killing the members of the Falling Snow Sect Faction, neither did Davis care about the opinion of them in this matter.

     Anyone who threatened the safety of his family will die by his hands unless they were family too. Only then would he engage in talks to comfort the two concerned parties.

     "Since you three are free now, you better escape while you can, throwing away any kind of tracking treasures that you possess or the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters might've placed on you."

     "We're leaving then..." Davis warned them. He thought of escaping the scene since it was still a disadvantage for them to stay even a second longer.

     He guessed that within a few minutes or so, some other groups who were nearby might arrive, even understanding while his thoughts borderline on the edge of overcautiousness.

     He signaled the other three who were behind him and Evelynn as he took off in a direction.

     As for the Sixth Stage Cultivators who were fainted on the sandy surface, they might wake up soon or get devoured by some lucky and brave Magical Beasts.

     Davis didn't opt to take the spatial rings of the Seventh Stage Cultivators. Who knows what kind of traps and tracking devices had been set on it?

     He didn't have the time to ask Elder Valoi and take throw each tracking item away as he inspected. The more time he wastes, the more the chances of his family being in danger.

     If he was alone, he would take the risk but he was with his family. The thought of proceeding with utmost cautiousness was always entrenched in his mind.

     Just when he and Evelynn flew away towards the north, a cry echoed out.

     "Wait!!"

     Davis turned to stop while Evelynn did the same. They then turned to look at them.

     "We were planning to escape, so we have already removed any kinds of tracking objects that they might've placed on us. The only item left is this..." Hadian spoke and a token appeared on his palm.

     The token was triangular in shape and had three symbols of small shapes at the end of the three edges respectively.

     To the left was the emblem of the Alstreim Family. It had the look of a pale human face along with long but sharp ears.

     To the above was the emblem of the Towering Cloud Hall and to the right was the emblem of the Falling Snow Sect.

     The Towering Cloud Hall's emblem looked like a miniature castle enshrouded by cloud while the Falling Snow Sect's emblem had snow falling while encasing a palace.

     429 Catching A Ride

      Hadian threw the token away on the desert surface while Mulia and Uncle Erik took out a similar token out of their spatial rings.

     Mulia had a determined expression on her face while she threw it away. She looked at her uncle and saw him doing the same while simultaneously shaking his head.

     "I never thought I would betray the Falling Snow Sect in my lifetime..." A vague such escaped Uncle Erik's mouth. He had lived for more than two hundred years, however, it seemed like...

     He turned to look at Mulia and Hadian as his lips turned into a grin, "Little girl, we can't stay in the Tripartite Alliance Territory or we will be hunted down if they ever came to know that we are free of slave seals instead of being saved."

     Hadian nodded his head, "We can't return to the Towering Cloud Hall Territory or the Falling Snow Sect Territory, so we can only head to the Alstreim Family Territory."

     His expression was no longer downcast but renewed with determination. He gave a look towards Mulia and they nodded their heads simultaneously.

     They both then looked at Davis as their expressions turned solemn.

     Hadian spoke, "We are willing to hand over any treasures that we possess that you might ask of us."

     Mulia continued, "Are you willing to help us get to the Alstreim Family Territory?"

     Davis didn't speak as he kept his mouth shut.

     Instead, he inwardly delivered two claps for them thinking 'as expected'. A cultivator's will is not that easy to break. It can only be done through extended torture.

     Even for a heart demon to take over them, they must be on the brink of their will shattering.

     He looked at them while thinking about whether to help them or not.

     He had already repaid his debt, even twice the times. Once was when he saved Mulia from Old Man Garvin, and the other was just a while ago.

     As for the treasures they promised they would give, he doubted that they would anything useful.

     He had King Grade Treasures and even Emperor Grade Treasures, so he doubted that they would possess something that was capable of piquing his interest.

     Davis pondered for a few seconds before he gave his answer.

     "Alright."

     His decision to let them follow him was none other than for two reasons.

     First, he had once done a disgusting action like placing a scythe over the neck of his benefactor when he was exposed in front of the Tripartite Alliance Elders. Even now, he felt slightly ashamed for that action.

     Second, the two of their groups were heading in the same direction, to the Alstreim Family Territory.

     If the other party's destination was something like the Towering Cloud Hall Territory or the Falling Snow Sect Territory, he would have undoubtedly declined.

     Once they heard Davis's words, they turned inwardly jubilant.

     "Wait!" Uncle Erik called out, garnering the attention of the others.

     Davis felt the urge to sigh. What else was left?

     He extended his hands and three spatial rings which were on the ground flew towards his direction. He bound it to himself and threw some objects away from those three spatial rings he gathered.

     He was done in a few seconds.

     Unbinding the three spatial rings from himself, he threw those towards Davis.

     "I relatively know about what these Seventh Stage Cultivators use for tracking, so I managed to find them all and throw them away." He spoke as Davis caught the three spatial rings in his palm.

     Uncle Erik pointed his finger at an object on the ground and spoke, "Look, at a glance, it is nothing but a Peak-Level Sky Grade Essence Gathering Manual, but it had been stealthily marked by the work of formation."

     "If you took it with you, then the headquarters would eventually be able to find you by using the respective formations to invoke the tracking, left by the Seventh Stage Cultivator in the headquarters. These methods are left by them in order for the headquarters to react if there are any contingencies while doing missions."

     "The items in those three spatial rings are far worth than any of the items that we three possess."

     Uncle Erik gave off a grin, "I presume that it's enough for you to accompany us till the territory gate of the Alstreim Family Territory."

     Davis just nodded his head. He had no way to figure out what kind of tracking objects they might use but now that those were out of the spatial rings, he had no fear in taking them.

     What if Uncle Erik lied and left a tracking item in one of those spatial rings? From the looks of it, the other party seemed to be a formation master, however, he wasn't worried because they would be traveling together.

     If Uncle Erik did indeed leave a tracking method that could be invoked from the headquarters, then they both would get screwed, so that scenario seemed unlikely.

     Davis cast a glance at the Sky Grade flying boat which was floating in the air at a distance.

     "You might not want to take it since it is also filled with tracking formations. You could destroy those small tracking formations but it would instantly provide feedback to the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters..."

     Davis's smile froze when he heard Uncle Erik speak. He could only silently give up or try to use his concealed soul force to seal his surroundings and destroy the formations.

     Suddenly, quite a few undulations spread from the objects that were on the ground.  Some were very vague, hard to sense for the others but Davis, Isabella and Uncle Erik could sense it.

     "There! The Tripartite Alliance Headquarters has started tracking! They probably noticed the Seventh Stage Cultivators' life tablets break." Uncle Erik's expression turned ugly.

     Looks like the one who is attending the life tablets in the headquarters wasn't slacking this time!

     But he knew the reason why!

     "Let's leave then..." Davis spoke and instantly shot off into the distance while carrying the others with his Soul Force.

     Since his soul was engulfed in Fallen Heaven's presence and it's dark like energy, it gained the property to give off fewer undulations and stay invisible to most of the equal level cultivators, and even to higher level cultivators.

     The existence of Soul Force itself was quite vague, and his soul force was even vaguer, bordering on the level of invisibility.

     If Davis used it in battles, his equal level opponents wouldn't even see his soul force heading in their directions! They wouldn't even feel it unless they came in contact with it! That's why those Seventh Stage Cultivators' reactions delayed when they finally sensed his Soul Force attacking them.

     Princess Isabella looked at Davis's back as he carried them with his Soul Force. If she had taken them away, she would give off undulations that would invite trouble but with her speed, she doubted that they would catch up.

     But unlike her rough handling at that time, his hold was so gentle and formless as if she could feel herself floating in the water. However, unlike the warm spring water, she felt somewhat cold.

     At this moment, she also renewed her determination to increase her crappy Soul Forging Cultivation.

     430 Staying Low

      Soon enough, Davis sensed another group of cultivators heading in the direction where they killed those Seventh Stage Cultivators. There were two Seventh Stage Cultivators in the group, flying with a solemn expression on their faces.

     Davis and the others flew past them without being detected as there was a wide distance between them.

     Uncle Erik's group had their hearts on their throats. Seeing the group that was at a sensing distance fly away from them as they were ignored, a sense of unrealistic feeling welled up within them.

     They couldn't tell the difference of Davis's Soul Force since they weren't well versed in Soul Forging Cultivation for starters while Princess Isabella was purely able to tell it with her physical senses.

     "We escaped..." Uncle Erik let out a sigh as the other two nodded their heads in relief. At the same time, they couldn't help but cast a glance at Davis, thinking how powerful he had become in this short amount of time.

     If they were caught now, they imagined that their lives in the future would be worse than death, being chased by them to the ends of the three territories.

     ======

     A day passed.

     Davis and the others left the Severed Mountain Stretches, crossing the borders of the Desolate Plains and entered the borders of the Loseris Kingdom.

     Davis and Princess Isabella discussed for a few minutes before they came to a consensus.

     It would be unreasonable for Davis and the others to rely on Princess Isabella if strong pursuers were to discover them, so they choose to stay somewhere inconspicuous in the Loseris Kingdom, deciding to stay low for the time being, at least until the heat from the chase and patrols decreased.

     They did encounter two more groups belonging to the Tripartite Alliance but there were no Seventh Stage Cultivators in that group, so they easily managed to escape without even being discovered, just like the previous case.

     Loseris Kingdom, Anido City, Theo Inn, Luxurious Room 6.

     Davis and Evelynn stayed in this luxurious room while Logan and Claire stayed at the room next door which was numbered 7.

     Room number 8 had been occupied by Princess Isabella while 9 and 10 were occupied by Hadian, Mulia and Uncle Erik as the couple stayed together.

     The luxurious room was spacious and comfortable, over 100 square meters in area, capable of housing 5 people at once but they choose to get independent rooms since they were rich and needed privacy.

     In Luxurious Room 6.

     Davis sat and leaned on the cushioned headboard of a comfy king-sized bed. He looked at the small chandeliers and decorations painting the ceiling but the reflection in his eyes was glazed, which indicated that he was absorbed in his own thoughts.

     There were a bunch of soft footsteps coming from the room outside. When the foot and legs became visible, Davis glanced at the incoming figure and smiled as his gaze was automatically attracted to Evelynn. To be precise, his gaze landed on the bunch of objects that were in her hands.

     In Evelynn's hands was a silver tray, and on top of it were a collection of succulent meat that was placed on some circular bowls. The meat let off an aroma that let Davis know that they were fried and, even saucy.

     He licked his lips as his hands automatically extended in her direction, reaching towards the starters.

     Evelynn smiled and moved the tray out of his reach, towards her side. She used her soul force to pick up a piece of red, tantalizing meat and grasped it in her fingers.

     "Ahhn~" She hummed as her hands extended towards his mouth.

     Seeing the incoming delicacy that approached his mouth, he opened and waited for her to place the meat.

     In the next moment, he felt the succulent piece of meat entering his mouth, his tongue coating it with his saliva as he closed his mouth.

     But on top of the meat, there was an additional 'meat' trapped in his mouth.

     Evelynn looked at her index finger which was held by his mouth. Her face gradually became flushed red before she took it out of his lusty jaws.

     Davis gave off a wink and hummed in an ecstatic tone, "Hmm~ So delicious! Your cooking is indeed top tier."

     Evelynn didn't proceed to wipe off his saliva and the sauce of the meat from her fingers, instead, she brought it to her own mouth as she sucked.

     Then to his statement of her cooking is delicious, she gave a nod in agreement. She didn't taste it beforehand since she was confident in her own cooking skills.

     Davis took the tray off her hands and proceeded to chump off the remaining pieces of meat before Evelynn could grab some of it off the plate.

     In a few seconds, he let out a burp and looked at Evelynn with an innocent gaze, his eyes avoiding her reproachful stare.

     The few pieces of meat were cooked for the both of them but he took it all, digesting those Fourth Stage Magical Beast meat in his stomach, turning into energy.

     "I'm not going to cook again if you don't buy me food."

     Hearing her threatening him with that delicious food of hers, Davis turned speechless.

     He blinked and nodded his head instantly, afraid that she would lash out but her face instantly blossomed into a smile upon witnessing his approval.

     In any case, he wasn't satisfied with just these few pieces of meat. He wanted to have a few tons for himself, and so did Evelynn as her appetite was almost the same as him.

     Davis's expression became dull. The meat that entered his stomach was already refined into energy and circulated through his entire body.

     As for the waste, there was none, or maybe just a tiny bit.

     The reason? Because of his Gold Stage Cultivation, his stomach didn't find it hard to digest it completely.

     He looked at Evelynn as a hearty feeling welled up within his heart. A great wife who can cook like a five-star chef, a devoted wife who listens to his words, a faithful wife who takes care of him, an obedient wife who doesn't reject his advances unless it was outside or extreme, a dependable wife who supports him, consoles him and understands him.

     And whatnot...

     He felt like he had hit the lottery and had the best woman in the world for himself, yet even so...

     Even so...

     'Why am I thinking about other women?' Davis gave off a rather weak sigh. He couldn't help but feel disgusted at his thoughts.

     "Davis?"

     Davis turned startled as he turned to look at her but found that her eyes were narrowed while a frown emerged on her face.

     Seeing her reaction, his lips twitched, "Did I perhaps say it out loud?"

     Evelynn nodded her head as the frown on her face disappeared, "Who were you thinking about?"

     "It's that girl, Ellia..." Davis came clean, "And that Ashton woman..."

     Davis directly didn't say Shirley, afraid that he would ruin her appetite and their mood.

     Evelynn blinked as she didn't think Davis would answer her question honestly. She wasn't surprised to see herself aggrieved but curious.

     "Why did you remember them suddenly?"

     Davis was with her all this time, so where did he get the time to at least meet them once for him to think about them? Evelynn didn't know anything about the said event and could not understand, so she asked again, "Could it be that you found clues pertaining to Shirley in the First Layer already?"

     Davis had once theorized that Princess Shirley could've gone to the First Layer.

     Could it be true?

     431 Speculations

      "When I scoured the area with my soul sense, I discovered that a tiny part of the Desolate Plains had been turned into an oasis, likely by Ellia, and I also felt faint undulations of a vague but familiar energy remains yet couldn't be sure of it, but it reminded me of Shirley Ashton."

     Davis paused and looked at her reaction.

     Seeing that Evelynn was intent on listening, he continued, "There was a small ice mountain which gave off a Law Manifestation Stage undulations, and the energy wave was so uncannily familiar that I am sure that it belongs to Ellia, and the type of laws exuded from that Ice Mountain in also reminds me of Clara's Ice Laws."

     "She cleared the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance?" Evelynn gave her opinion but Davis shook his head.

     "Probably King Grade or Emperor Grade Trial. With the power Ellia revealed at that time when she escaped from me, I am more inclined to believe that she had cleared the Emperor Grade Trial."

     Evelynn moved her gaze away as she pondered over the matter and so did Davis.

     He felt that it was unlikely for Ellia to clear the Immortal Grade Trial and receive the entire inheritance, and even if she cleared, her strange persona might be noticed by the Ice Phoenix Mistress, resulting in her being kicked out just like him.

     "Perhaps, Princess Shirley had also entered the First Layer along with Ellia, or fought with Ellia or temporarily teamed up to fight against the Tripartite Alliance. These are the three scenarios I could think of at the moment." Davis spoke after a few seconds.

     "So this made you think about them?"

     Davis nodded, "Mmn, I am worried about their well being because I don't know whether they have escaped, caught or dead."

     Davis's mind suddenly clicked. So that's why a formation had been set up to discover those who suddenly popped up on the surroundings.

     Maybe Ellia's and Shirley's luck was really bad that they encountered a separate group of the Tripartite Alliance as soon as they stepped out of the independent spatial gateway which led to this mess being constructed.

     'So the Tripartite Alliance has finally realized that people from the Grand Sea Continent are able to step into the First Layer, except they couldn't find how or where exactly from, huh?'

     "You speak about worrying for them yet you easily speak of their deaths." Evelynn raised her brows in suspicion.

     Davis simply laughed and shook his head, "I'm only slightly worried about them because Ellia is simply a menace and a destructive freak right now..."

     Evelynn turned confused, "What do you mean?"

     Davis looked at her expression which said she wouldn't budge from here even if he hid the matter from her, so he promptly started to explain what had happened to Ellia back then.

     "... So according to your speculations, Ellia is possessed by her previous incarnation and tried to kill you at that time but Ellia stopped her previous incarnation from precisely doing that..." Evelynn frowned as she spoke since she found it hard to believe.

     But then she thought about her husband, Davis, who was also a previous incarnation.

     A living example was in front of her, so she found herself inclined to trust in his words somewhat.

     'Why would Ellia's previous incarnation want to kill Davis? As far as I know, Davis had treated his personal maid like she was his friend and didn't mistreat it? Why would Davis garner hate?'

     'Could it be that he and Ellia were secretly lovers... No, that's not right... Enemies in their past life? That's not right either...' Evelynn suddenly had a strange thought but refuted it in her mind.

     There was no conclusive evidence connecting them in their past lives, so them being at odds with each other could only be something that had formed in this lifetime.

     'Yes, their past lives are in no way connected.' Evelynn acknowledged inwardly.

     At this point, without bothering to no longer explain, Davis suddenly waved his hand as a small vial appeared in his palms.

     He sealed their surroundings with his Soul Force while maintaining a cautious attitude and opened the lid of the vial.

     Instantly, a transparent layer resembling a face peeked out before it enlarged as it came out of the vial.

     Davis looked at the soul body in front of him swelling to its normal shape. A middle-aged man with a handsome appearance entered his view.

     It was none other than Elder Valoi, whom he had enslaved using Fallen Heaven's prowess.

     He wasn't naked but had the same form when he wore his robes before having his fleshy body destroyed by Princess Isabella.

     A soul body would generally be naked but a soul body is conjured as an amalgamation of one's perspective of oneself. Hence, the resulting soul body would have the person's image of themselves at the moment.

     Evelynn looked at the eerie sight in front of her as her pupils reflected the soul body. Surprisingly, she wasn't afraid not did she show any signs of nervousness.

     Maybe it was because she knew that her husband had this soul body under his control.

     "Master, your obedient slave has arrived. How may I be of service?"

     Elder Valoi's mouth moved as both hands clasped. He bowed his head simultaneously.

     Davis perfunctorily nodded his head, he could feel the connection he had with Elder Valoi through his soul. A connection that was one of master and slave.

     Other than that, he felt that with a single action, he could end the life in front of him. He inwardly praised Fallen Heaven's prowess.

     Davis's face changed. He no longer wore a look of casualness, "How did you find us?"

     The soul body which was transparent slightly shook as it retracted its hands.

     "The Tripartite Alliance has constructed a giant Peak-Level Sky Grade Detection Formation that is capable of finding out the life force of humans and magical beasts in a 10,000-kilometer radius."

     "Master had suddenly appeared in the radius of the formation along with a few other life forces, so we had to quickly embark and investigate the phenomenon."

     Elder Valoi replied monotonously as if he were a puppet.

     Davis knew that Elder Valoi had lost his will to his binding, so he wasn't surprised. He quickly asked the question that that had been plaguing his mind, even though he knew the answer to it.

     Nevertheless, he had to confirm his guesses.

     "Why is there a detection formation constructed in the Desolate Plains?"

     "Three years ago, there were two women clad in black and white robes. Their facial features are unknown but they encountered a team led by a Tripartite Alliance patrol team and engaged in a battle."

     "The entire patrol team was killed but they managed to send a piece of important information to the headquarters, however, only members with high clearance are able to learn this information."

     "In general, it became the reason for the detection formation to be constructed."

     Davis's mouth went slightly agape. It was as he guessed... Ellia and Shirley did indeed collide with the Tripartite Alliance... But...

     What important information?

     Could it be that madwoman inside Ellia had revealed some secrets of the Grand Sea Continent to the Tripartite Alliance? Like the independent spatial gateway?

     432 Doesn“t Relate

      Davis instantly felt angry but also simultaneously calmed down and knew that it shouldn't be the case.

     That madwoman in Ellia likely wouldn't have revealed anything since Ellia would've not let her do something like that, at least if the latter still existed.

     Otherwise, wouldn't the Tripartite Alliance set up an entire perimeter in front of the independent spatial gateway?

     Davis's eyes were downcast, thinking if Ellia's consciousness were to be swallowed by her previous incarnation, he inwardly swore that he would have the previous incarnation's soul tortured till it fades away from existence.

     As for the detection formation, they had to detect them through the life force, which is another term for vitality as far as he knew in the knowledge of cultivation. He felt it unlikely to be different and even if it did, he garnered there wouldn't be much difference.

     Nevertheless, what happened to Ellia and Princess Shirley after they fought and decimated the patrol team of the Tripartite Alliance three years ago?

     "Are the two female figures caught?" Davis asked with a calm expression on his face. Nevertheless, his worried tone betrayed his calm facade.

     Beside him, Evelynn noticed his tone and glanced at him through the corner of her eyes before looking back at Elder Valoi. She didn't say anything.

     "No, they have escaped."

     "How?"

     "The moment they decimated the patrol team, they mysteriously vanished."

     Davis blinked. He had a vague guess that it should be that madwoman inside Ellia who had the ability to disappear like that.

     He knew she had a strong Soul Forging Cultivation and with the passage of time, he garnered that she should be more or slightly stronger than him.

     "Where are they then?"

     Elder Valoi remained silent. His face remained blank and dull.

     It could be seen that he didn't have the answer to his question.

     Davis inwardly understood and asked why the oasis was left intact in the Desolate Plains.

     "The tiny oasis in the Desolate Plains is formed from the essence energy of the two female figures."

     "It was left intact to let a Mystic Diviner track the location of the two female figures."

     Davis became shocked while Evelynn became confused.

     Mystic Diviner?

     He had heard about it from Old Man Garvin but it was just a tiny introduction.

     Old Man Garvin once said that he did not believe in the concept of divining in his early years until he had met a Mystic Diviner after he had become a Supreme Soul Stage Cultivator in his prime.

     The reason for Old Man Garvin's disbelief was because there were a lot of scammers who cheated people claiming that they were Mystic Diviners. It was especially the case in his early life, giving him a pre-conceived notion that Mystic Diviners were fake.

     In the cultivation world, one's prime didn't refer to one's youth but their glory days, so it could be seen the time when Old Man Garvin had contact with a Mystic Diviner is in his later years.

     Apparently, it is a branch of profession deriving from those who have slightly fused the laws of Karma, Space and Time. They have the mystical ability to divine one's history or future prospects as long as they possess a medium.

     After explaining this, Old Man Garvin only left him with a few words of caution and didn't bother to explain much about Mystic Diviners.

     "Don't offend them."

     'No wonder they preserved the oasis without destroying it...'

     Davis closed his slightly agape mouth and quickly asked, "Did the Mystic Diviner divine the location of the two women?"

     "It was a failure. However, the Mystic Diviner managed to divine that they had headed east."

     Davis narrowed his eyes.

     East? That's the direction that leads to Falling Snow Sect Territory...

     Could it be...

     He bit his lips and thought for a short moment before asking, "Where do you think those two female figures have gone?"

     "They have likely escaped to the Falling Snow Sect Territory."

     Davis nodded his head to Elder Valoi's opinion. However, he went one step ahead with his guess.

     'They must have left the Falling Snow Sect Territory too...'

     "Did the Mystic Diviner follow them to the Falling Snow Sect Territory?"

     Elder Valoi didn't reply.

     It could be seen that he did not know the answer to this question.

     "Who is the Mystic Diviner?" Davis's killing intent soared at the same time.

     He had wanted to kill the person so he could let Ellia and Princess Shirley escape. Although their relationships were a mess, he didn't want them to get caught.

     Nevertheless, Elder Valoi still didn't answer again.

     Davis closed his eyes and exhaled a bit of breath. Looks like the Mystic Diviner's identity was kept a secret.

     The Mystic Diviner's identity being kept secret was understandable. After all, it was a profession that could indirectly find people's weaknesses. Hence, the more the Mystic Diviner is sought out by the people of the cultivation world, the more the Mystic Diviner would be ostracized by people with secrets.

     Beside him, Evelynn turned a little worried. She moved her hand to hold his but ultimately retracted.

     Davis pondered over this matter as he stroked his jaw.

     The Mystic Diviner had followed Ellia and Princess Shirley to Falling Snow Sect Territory? If that is the case, then he believed that the madwoman in Ellia could take care of this matter.

     As far as he knew, the 'Ellia' who had undergone a transformation could no longer be considered a common cultivator.

     She was like him, an anomaly, having memories of two 'lifetimes' except for his knowledge on cultivation could be said to be zero when compared with Ellia's previous incarnation.

     With how pompous and arrogant she behaved, he could guess that she was at least at the Ninth Stage in her previous life.

     Ironically feeling relieved that she would be safe, he opened his eyes and asked.

     "What do you know about the dark speck of light in the sky?"

     "It appeared over the skies one and a half months ago."

     "The dark speck of light is divined by the Heaven Gazing Sect to be an ominous sign and the matter was publically announced after the day it appeared."

     "The news spread to all the territories in a matter of days, spreading chaos all over the world."

     One and a half months ago... Heaven Gazing Sect... Chaos...

     Davis noticed the key points and pondered over the matter.

     One and a half months ago...

     'Did I do anything at that time? That... is the time I entered seclusion...'

     'Could it be related to my breakthrough? But I didn't feel anything dangerous or strange after my breakthrough...'

     'So this matter has nothing to do with me?'

     Davis inwardly relaxed once he considered the possibilities. He had an inkling whether if this matter related to him or not.

     There were certain reasons for his doubt.

     One, he could actually sense vague danger from it, unlike the others.

     Two, he believed he had the most important treasure here in this world which was none other than Fallen Heaven.

     The first point could be attributed to Fallen Heaven's senses subconsciously warning him.

     However, even after the dark speck of light in the sky appeared, the mysterious entity which sealed Fallen Heaven over an unknown number of years ago still didn't appear.

     This indicated that the dark speck of light in the sky didn't relate to him, at least in a direct manner.

     433 Do You Have Descendants?

      Evelynn could feel his nervousness traveling to her. She had wanted to ask what a Mystic Diviner was but held herself back. Biting her lips for a second, she decided that she should wait for Davis to recover out of the shadows of those two women.

     After pondering over this matter for a few more minutes, Davis asked Elder Valoy about the ongoing events in the Tripartite Alliance Territory, making himself familiar with the major events that were happening.

     It seems that in the one month the dark speck of light in the sky appeared, there was chaos rampant in most kingdoms.

     While the Xuan Empire was able to relatively quell their people's chaotic emotions with ease, it couldn't be said to be the same for many other kingdoms.

     Even the Loseris Kingdom which they were currently in seemed to have some destruction over certain villages and towns.

     Suddenly, he felt a hand grasp the sleeves of his robe. He turned to see Evelynn looking at him with worry in her eyes.

     He couldn't help but smile and shake his head, indicating that he wasn't bothered.

     Only then did Evelynn reply back with a smile of her own.

     Davis then turned back to look at Elder Valoi and couldn't help but size up the man. They had easily killed him with Princess Isabella's help, however, he should be a rather important member of the Tripartite Alliance in the mid-level.

     "Who are you?"

     Elder Valoi's translucent mouth quivered, "My name is Valoi. I am an Elder of the Tripartite Alliance's Falling Snow Sect Outer Faction."

     The room went silent in a matter of seconds. Seeing that Elder Valoi no longer spoke, only leaving them with that small introduction, Davis prompted.

     "What is your age?"

     "I am 3,575 years old."

     Davis's eyes twitched while Evelynn eye's widened as her mouth turned agape.

     She had never seen a person who had lived this long before!!

     Even Davis couldn't help but suddenly feel a sense of pity for this old man who rather looked handsome with his high nose and sharp eyes.

     This person had lived for more than 3,500 years but still fell to Princess Isabella's single punch.

     Princess Isabella was only around 50 years old, yet she managed to bring down a person who was more than 70 times older than her.

     Davis couldn't help but feel people aren't equal at a deep level! At that moment, he developed a new form of perspective and felt that he was no longer going to underestimate people of lower age as well as overestimate people of higher age.

     Elder Valoi only seemed to be 30 or so in looks, yet his real age was undoubtedly 100 times more than that, however, the Tripartite Alliance only had a history of thousand years as indicated by Old Man Garvin.

     It was unlikely for Elder Valoi to be part of the Tripartite Alliance from the moment he was born.

     'This...' Davis reflected.

     "At which age did you reach Law Dominion Stage?"

     "When I was 2,689 years old." Elder Valoi's soul body replied without a change in emotion, still dull as ever.

     'There a gap of more than 800 years, and at that time he only managed to reach Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage?'

     Davis's lips twitched as he comprehended Elder Valoi's speed of cultivation.

     He had only two words for this...

     'Too freaking slow!!'

     'Actually, they were three words...' Davis inwardly lampooned.

     'It also explains why Elder Valoi took so many years to reach the Seventh Stage. He should be a rogue cultivator who joined the Tripartite Alliance when he was around the Peak of the Sixth Stage and slowly moved to the position of an Elder...'

     'Maybe his cultivation had regressed at one point after reaching the Seventh Stage and it took time to slowly recover and reach the Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage, hence taking almost 800 years in the process?' Davis thought in musing.

     At this moment, Evelynn who was shocked at Elder Valoi's age and rate of advancement but simultaneously experienced a sense of superiority.

     There was a person who was even slower than her in cultivation!!

     Although she had resolved her inferiority complex over her cultivation, it's effects still remained.

     At the same time, she couldn't help but ask.

     "Do you have a family?"

     Elder Valoi didn't reply. He stayed silent as he floated like a ghost.

     Davis turned to glance at Evelynn before saying, "Answer her question..."

     "No."

     The slave Elder Valoi only answers to his master who is none other than Davis.

     Evelynn comprehended his answer and at the same time was flabbergasted.

     Elder Valoi didn't have a family!? The man in front of her as thousands of years old but didn't have a family? She found it difficult to believe.

     Even Davis couldn't understand.

     'There's no way... unless...'

     "Do you have descendants?" Davis hesitantly asked. At one moment he thought it was rude to ask but the other party was already his slave.

     How can his question be ruder than that?

     "Yes..."

     Davis's eyes lit up while Evelynn quickly asked, "How many children do you have?"

     'It was as if she found a new book and a character that she was interested in...' Davis wondered and spoke, "Answer all her questions."

     Only then did Elder Valoi open his mouth.

     "I have a hundred and eight three children. Fifty-eight sons and a hundred and twenty-five daughters."

     Davis's mouth suddenly hung agape while Evelynn was taken back.

     She was inwardly shocked but at the same time frowned and looked at Davis, "Isn't this man lying? He just said that he didn't have a family."

     Davis turned to look back at her as he chuckled, "He doesn't even consider them family."

     Evelynn widened her eyes as she cast a judgemental glance at Elder Valoi. She couldn't help but frown even more.

     "Don't believe me?" Davis chuckled again and asked Elder Valoi, "How did you father them all?"

     "My first son was given birth by Zlata. She was a prostitute of the Red Theater of..."

     "My first daughter..."

     "My second daughter was given birth by Vesta when we had an affair. She is the wife of a rich merchant..."

     "My third daughter..."

     "My second son was given birth by a woman of unknown origins. I later learned that she was the mistress of a duke of a Low-Level Earth Grade Kingdom, so I secretly killed her with poison to get rid of trouble."

     "My fourth daughter..."

     "My..."

     "Stop!"

     Davis promptly stopped Elder Valoi from speaking as he saw Evelynn's expression change with every word of his 'adventures'.

     The room turned silent but it quickly became awkward for him.

     If he let Elder Valoi continue to speak, he felt that Evelynn would receive psychological damage. However, he also thought of letting her world view widen by listening to the rich 'adventuress' of Elder Valoi.

     Although it was rich, it was tainted corrupted and twisted. That's why he had promptly stopped. This also confirmed his guess that Elder Valoi should be a rogue cultivator in his early years.

     It could be seen that Elder Valoi had chosen to mingle with women only to curb his lust and sate his desires. Davis was afraid that if he allowed him to continue, then she would soon hear about disgusting stuff.

     Evelynn's disgusted expression finally settled down after a few seconds. She couldn't help but ask, "Is your first son still alive? What is he like?"

     "My first son died when I was 70 years old. At that time, my first son was just a teenager filled with hate for me."

     Evelynn's eyes didn't twitch. Instead, she closed her eyes and felt that it was enough. Her curiosity got the better of her.

     She was no longer willing to listen to the disgusting tales of this man.

     434 Structure Of The Tripartite Alliance

      Davis glanced at Evelynn, wanting to know what she was thinking but he couldn't guess. He abandoned his thoughts of prying and instead posed a question to Elder Valoi.

     "Tell me about the Tripartite Alliance as well as its hierarchical structure."

     "The Tripartite Alliance is the manifestation of the alliance between the three major Emperor Grade Powers. Alstreim Family, Towering Cloud Hall, and Falling Snow Sect."

     "Due to the restriction placed on the Tripartite Alliance Territory, cultivators above the Seventh Stage are prohibited to enter, and in accordance with the restriction imposed, the upper echelon of the Tripartite Alliance could only be at Peak-Level Seventh Stage."

     "The Tripartite Alliance is divided into three factions as a result of the three backers, and the three factions are further divided into the inner and outer circle."

     "The people who hold the most authority in the Tripartite Alliance are the Grand Elders of the three factions."

     "Below them, there are Elders from the inner circle, followed by the Elders from the outer circle."

     "The Elites of the inner circle possess the same status as the Elders of the outer circle."

     "The ordinary members of the inner circle possess the same status as the Elites of the outer circle."

     "The ordinary members of the outer circle are at the lowest rung, but even they are the Fourth Stage."

     Davis's eyes flashed as many thoughts filled his head.

     Restriction... Grand Elder... Elders... Elites...

     He took the keywords and contemplated over while he understood the hierarchy.

     Grand Elders... Peak-Level Seventh Stage...

     He hasn't met an existence of that cultivation base yet.

     He suddenly thought back and garnered that Elder Severin should be an Elder of the inner circle.

     It made sense with how pompous he behaved...

     And Mulia and Hadian could likely be considered Elites of the inner circle with their relevant statuses. As for Uncle Erik, maybe he could be considered a senior elite of the inner circle.

     Back when he had Elder Severin's soul body in his grasps, Davis couldn't reveal the existence of Fallen Heaven to Old Man Garvin, so he hadn't made any suspicious move like casting a slave seal on Elder Severin through Fallen Heaven, afraid that he would get caught.

     This is also why he didn't know much about the Tripartite Alliance. Besides, with the torture he had imposed upon Elder Severin for learning about the soul, the latter had already turned retarded.

     Then, there was a restriction imposed on the Tripartite Alliance...

     Davis turned suspicious.

     "Why is there a restriction placed on the Tripartite Alliance Territory, leaving Eighth Stage Cultivators unable to enter?" He asked but he knew he wouldn't receive the truth from an elder who seemed like he belonged to the outer circle.

     "Many say that it is to stop further conflict between the Alliance. It is from the philosophy that the bigger the conflict, the more easier it is for the Alliance to shatter."

     Davis understood this point. If a conflict at the level of Eighth Stage Powerhouses were to break out, it is easier for the alliance to fall apart.

     However, he didn't believe that was all to it.

     Whether it was a secret to hide a treasure or a terrifying secret of a hidden existence or whether to curb other higher stage experts from entering the Grand Sea Continent, Davis wasn't disturbed.

     He wasn't an Eighth Stage Expert. This matter still had nothing to do with him. He could begin pondering on this after he had reached the Eighth Stage.

     He casually threw the matter to the back of his head and asked, "What do you know about the Alstreim Family Territory?"

     "The Alstreim Family Territory is rich in resources. Its human population amounts to around a hundred billion at any given point on time. Its landmass spans about 30 billion square kilometers of which more than 60% is occupied by the ocean. The territory is ruled by the Alstreim Family, an Emperor Grade Power."

     Around a Hundred Billion Humans? Not bad...

     Davis inwardly mused and didn't bicker with the little information that was provided. This was in line with what he heard from his mother, Claire.

     With hundreds and thousands of people dying or going missing every day, the population fluctuates all the time.

     If it were stable, with people living for thousands of years, the population would have shot the roof and amounted to the trillions.

     To this point, Davis didn't have a doubt in his information.

     Even the Grand Sea Continent had a population of a few tens of billions. If it weren't for the nature of cultivators lying in violence, the population could have well been in the trillions since it can accommodate that many people.

     Planet Earth only had a landmass of 510 million square kilometers, including the ocean yet it can accommodate billions of humans.

     What else needs to be said about Grand Sea Continent which had a landmass of more than 10 billion square kilometers?

     What else needs to be said about the territories in the First Layer? The population could only grow higher or stabilize, even with all the bloodshed and misery.

     With people proliferating like Elder Valoi, one couple should be able to birth hundreds of children in their lifetime.

     Of course, he had no doubt that there's also a chance for the population to drop in times of chaos.

     Davis nodded his head as he felt that the information he received was enough and extended his hand.

     "Enter the vial..."

     The soul body shook and flew into the vial as it regressed to a small form, trying to enter the vial.

     The soul body flexibly entered once it's entire body sank into the vital while Davis simultaneously sealed the opening with the lid and threw the vial into his spatial ring.

     "What is a Mystic Diviner?" Evelynn finally posed the question she had in her mind.

     Davis glanced at her and saw her face which indicated she no longer had doubts over Elder Valoi's life.

     He paused for a second before attempting to explain whatever he knew about a Mystic Diviner.

     "...A Mystic Diviner is a profession and people who master it are either welcomed massively or ostracized heavily depending upon the danger they possess."

     "They can divine a danger of a task, divine future prospects, divine your past as long as they are powerful than you and has control over the three laws."

     "Space, Time and Karma..."

     Evelynn slowly let out a gasp, 'There were people like that?'

     "Able to see one's future and past? Isn't that basically cheating?"

     Davis shook his head, "I don't know the specifics but they should be limited by a lot of obstruction from numerous sources, otherwise, wouldn't they be the rulers by now?"

     Evelynn slowly nodded her head as if she was pondering.

     "Forget it, let's go eat downstairs."

     Davis noticed her expression which said she was pondering but she gave no comment but instead said 'forget it'?

     This told him that she was disinclined to talk about this topic but he could understand that as well. Her curiously was only to the point whether it concerned her well being or not.

     He nodded his head and both wore black robes over their normal attire. They then exited the room and headed downstairs.

     As they made their way down three floors, many other black-robed figures were walking past them, even along the hallways.

     But Davis and Evelynn were not surprised as they crossed past them without batting an eyelid.

     Apparently, Anido City hosted the most criminals and miscreants, and the Theo Inn they stayed at was the most secretive inn that was established.

     In this place, it was an unwritten rule to not bother anyone who was dressed in black-robes unless necessary!

     435 A Moment Of Folly

      The Theo Inn didn't discriminate and hosted various types of customers and gave them a peaceful place to stay in the widely lawless Anido City.

     On the ground floor was where the people gathered, chatting and drinking while sitting on the chairs near the tables.

     There were even some women scantily dressed, their robes revealing many parts of their tantalizing skin while entertaining some black-robed people.

     Davis saw them but he then could feel Evelynn's gaze which was staring back at him. He inwardly groaned and hastily moved towards a corner where there was an empty table along with some chairs.

     Evelynn placed her rear on the surface of the chair and comfortably sat opposite to Davis as he did the same.

     A woman quickly flew towards them and bowed her head, "How may I be of service?"

     Davis looked at the woman who was scantily dressed as his eyes flashed in scrutiny. He then turned to look at the menu which was posted along the walls of the ground floor and spoke, "Give me the best and nutritious meat you have..."

     The scantily-clad woman's eyes flashed as she bent a little, revealing her cleavage, "Sir, that would be the tender meat of the Sapphire Sky Tiger which is at the Fourth Stage; Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage and would cost exactly hundred spirit stones."

     Davis just nodded his head and the woman promptly left in a hurry. He shook his head and when his gaze landed on Evelynn, he could sense the glare that was radiating from her eyes.

     "Were you checking her out?"

     "Not really, I was just ordering food..." Davis replied in a confused manner as if he didn't understand why she asking him that question.

     Evelynn just nodded and turned to look at the other scantily clad woman as a tinge of disgust flashed past her eyes. She turned to look at Davis again, "You were checking her out."

     Davis stayed silent before he nodded his head.

     Evelynn inwardly sighed before she thought about Elder Valoi's sexual escapades.

     'Do men really want to have many women with them? I don't really understand.'

     Her eyes glanced at Davis, 'Even now, he was watching that woman with skimpy clothes... Does he want her?'

     Evelynn became despondent while lamenting in her heart.

     'Does he want Ellia and Princess Shirley to be his women too? Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of them when I'm with him...'

     'If so...'

     She suddenly spoke, "If you want to s..."

     "Her soul is enslaved." Davis suddenly spoke, interrupting her in the process.

     "Hmm?" Evelynn gave off a sound of confusion.

     "I meant that she possesses a slave seal. She is a slave to someone, maybe the owner of this Inn..." Davis perfunctorily spoke as he glanced at the other scantily clad women with disinterest, "Maybe it's the same with all them as well."

     Evelynn blinked as she turned to look at them with understanding, 'No wonder they were happily engaging with those people...'

     "Yes, their lives are over even before they started." Davis spoke in a distant tone, "Even so, they accepted it and moved towards the future, facing their current lives..."

     Evelynn turned to look at him in interest.

     "Or I could be just wrong and they willingly entered into this mess, feeding their corrupt personalities..."

     Hearing him say that, a feeling of disgust welled up within Evelynn's heart, "Why would they want to be like that in the first place?"

     She spoke in a confused tone.

     Davis just laughed at her naive thought process, "Do you know how easy and tantalizing is it for a person to act on their desires instead of trying to preserve their moral principles?"

     "That is... if they had one in the first place..." Davis smilingly shook his head when he saw that Evelynn was about to retort.

     Evelynn had no choice but to drop her stance.

     "Many people have a bottom line on what they would do and do not... I have mine as well..."

     Davis continued and as they spoke about this topic, a few minutes passed.

     "In fact, in the past, even I was inclined to act on my desires and almost degraded myself if it weren't for Mo Mingzhi's timely appearance."

     'So that's why he was so concerned about her even though he pretended not to be...' Evelynn mused as she nodded her head in understanding.

     Davis had already explained his past to her, so she knew how Mo Mingzhi and he was related.

     She turned to look at her head and saw the woman who spoke to them come along with a few men who carried some trays above their palms.

     They came and placed the variety of food on the table, invoking the hunger and greed in many others hearts, mostly their stomachs.

     The scantily clad woman pointed on a piece of meat as she spoke, "This is the minced and smoked meat of the Sapphire Sky Tiger's heart, which increases one's vitality a bit."

     The heart was cut into a few pieces but even the heart was at the size of a human child. From this, it could be seen how large the Saphhire Sky Tiger was...

     She pointed at the other few dishes which contained tiger bones, lungs and other organs that were cooked and grilled, smiled with various local yet rich spices.

     The invigorating smell emanating from the rich variety of dishes invoked the hunger in Davis's and Evelynn's belly.

     Seeing that her explanation increased their hunger towards the food, the scantily clad woman's eyes flashed as she pointed to a peculiar dish.

     It was a meter long and ten inches wide smoked meat.

     "This piece of meat grant's one an increase in their sexual prowess, allowing them to have a go at it in the bed for a longer period of time."

     With a seductive movement of her body, she winked at Davis in a daring manner.

     Davis turned to look at Evelynn, wondering what her reaction would be but he almost burst out laughing when he heard the woman speak again.

     "Sir, I'm perfectly okay with satisfying you at the same time as well."

     Davis moved his chin away from their view and tried to control his laughter.

     Meanwhile, a cold voice emanated from his front, "I'm a woman."

     "I'm not particularly bothered..." Came the amorous reply.

     Davis's body shook as his shoulders trembled. His face was contorted into a twisted expression while trying to hold his laughter but since his face was hidden underneath the hood, the others could not see it.

     If one were to see his face now, they would think he was quite constipated.

     "Just leave..." Evelynn spoke again, with a tinge of anger laced in her voice. It looks like she took a deep breath before giving a reply because from the corner of his eyes, he saw her breasts which were hidden by the robes slightly protrude before becoming flat again.

     The scantily clad woman's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment but she bowed her head and left instantly as she knew the temper of the patrons.

     "Hmph..." Evelynn promptly gave off a low snort as she turned to look at the food placed on the table.

     Her appetite to eat was entirely ruined. She couldn't believe she considered letting Davis sleep with that skank a while ago. She thought it would be better to let him experience a single night with another woman then taking another woman to their home.

     'It was a good thing that he interrupted me before I finished my speech... You're an idiot, Evelynn.' She silently reproached herself.

     436 Familiar Voice

      Evelynn bit her lips gloomily as she realized that she had misunderstood his intentions. She realized Davis had been only checking out their souls, not their flaunting skin.

     She had actually thought of letting him sleep with that woman to curb his desire for the other two women, Ellia and Princess Shirley from getting out of control.

     Once again, she silently berated herself, thinking that she did not have his best interests in her mind and only sought to act on our selfishness.

     Davis had been intently looking at his wife's expression from the moment he had been suspected of 'checking out' another woman. From her tone, he found exasperation as well as a sense of frustration.

     He did not comment on her oddness as he calmed down, instead, he extended his hands towards the food as he started to eat.

     Watching Davis start, the appetite that was lost came back as she too hurriedly picked the food to eat. After all, she didn't want to end up with no food placed on the table without filling her stomach.

     They munched and chewed the tiger meat, however, Evelynn's eyes darted to a certain piece of meat from time to time.

     Davis noticed it and finally took that piece of meat to eat. He held it in his hands and asked in a teasing voice, "You want it?"

     "Eek..." Evelynn instantly shook her head, "Who would want to even eat that?"

     Davis laughed as he took a bite from it. He was also initially aversed to this type of meat but he had gradually come to not mind it after being repeatedly given in the Royal Castle for dinner and special occasions.

     "This type of meat is quite useless to females. The Sapphire Sky Tiger's penis can also be used as an ingredient to create a yang-type aphrodisiac which affects men."

     Davis winked at her, "I even know how to make it, wanna try in the bed?"

     "Shameless!" Evelynn spat out from her teeth in frustration.

     Davis laughed, "The pill that could be created from it is only at the Peak-Level Earth Grade. Although it could slightly affect my senses, it would not be able to turn me crazy for women."

     "If I had Sky Grade Pill recipes that are compatible with this ingredient, then I can make one such pill to enhance our 'experience'."

     Looking at her intently listening to him, Davis inwardly laughed.

     Soon enough, they finished eating their meal and was just about to return to their room but suddenly, a shout echoed out.

     "I'm going to fucking kill that bastard!" Suddenly, a furious voice echoed around the inn.

     Everyone's attention turned to a table that was somewhere in the middle of the inn.

     The black-robed figure who shouted promptly sat back as if she regained back her senses.

     The voice echoed from the black-robed figure was a womanly voice, melodious yet it was seething with anger.

     A few moments after the black-robed figure sat, the ones who were viewing her group lost their interest as they reverted back to their ramblings, creating a noisy atmosphere rather than the previously silent one.

     Davis sat as he looked towards the source of the voice, his eyes narrowed while a sense of familiarity enveloped his mind.

     "Davis?"

     He turned to look at Evelynn, "I think I know her..."

     "Who?" Evelynn turned confused.

     "Lucia..." Davis spoke as he inclined his chin to direct his gaze at the black-robed figure.

     He sent his soul sense towards her and sighed.

     A woman with a charming yet raging face, possessing a sharp eye that looked familiar to him was displayed in his soul sense. Her nose and her small lips made her look adorable but the sense of charm was nowhere to be seen while her black hair was concealed by the hood od the black robe.

     As expected, it was her, Lucia of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

     Lucia's expression was furious as it could be, a faint amount of killing intent enveloping her entire body while she trembled. Her severe expression and her clenched hands which held a jade stone told Davis how angry and helpless she was.

     However, he couldn't understand why other than the fact that she received a message from someone. The table she sat along with a few other black-robed figures was enveloped in a silent yet gloomy atmosphere.

     He couldn't get any information if they were silent all the time.

     Nevertheless, he let out a gasp as he turned astonished, "What are they doing here?"

     It was the two siblings he saved in the Farz Mountains from the bandit leader; Nina and Glyn.

     Their presence in this place along with Lucia said that they managed to take care of their internal struggle back home. Their solemn yet steady eyes and especially their decisive expressions indicated that they were tempered by the reality of the world.

     A few seconds later, Glyn opened his mouth in worry.

     "Lucia, what happened?"

     Lucia had her gaze on the floor, her expression was hidden by the hood but they did saw her wrathful expression after the jade stone in her hands lit up.

     "Lucia..." Nina also spoke in worry and the others who saw with them also echoed with a bit of anxiety in their voices.

     Lucia heeded their voices and inclined her chin to see them all, but only tears cascaded down her eyes. She sniffed and a helpless expression appeared on her face, "Lucas got captured... Uncle Gyrus died trying to protect him..."

     "What?! Impossible!" Glyn gave a low groan as his face expressed disbelief. On the other hand, Nina looked as if she lost her soul as a pale expression painted her face. She grasped both of her hands in front of her bosoms as her eyes let out a tear while she snapped out of it.

     "What do you mean?" She asked.

     Lucia slightly banged the table, "The team he was in was decimated by those Arc Song Mercenaries!"

     "Even then... For Uncle Gyrus to die..." Glyn uttered with disbelief. Uncle Gyrus was a Sixth Stage Cultivator. For him to die meant that...

     Lucia nodded her head as get expression changed into one of anger, "The bastard and the traitor of them all, the leader of the Arc Song Mercenaries, Jawan made a move..."

     "We were too careless..."

     When the Cloud Spring Mercenaries collapsed with the expedition of the Tripartite Alliance targeting them, Jawan made a move, instantly crippling the various branches that were spread throughout the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

     At the same time, he established his mercenary group, Arc Song Mercenaries, claiming that he was the King of all mercenaries in the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

     The mercenary group's name was the same as the one he established previously before decisively joining the Cloud Spring Mercenaries in order to protect himself from being swallowed by the Cloud Spring Mercenaries. He acted in accordance with the situation which demanded that he surrender or perish to which he instantly cost the former.

     However, once he joined, he secretly formed his own division within the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, biding his time to strike at the right time while being supported by the Tripartite Alliance.

     Nevertheless, Daniuis, the leader of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries knew Jawan's schemes and kept him in check for a long time.

     Then what exactly caused this situation to unfold?

     "We were too careless..." Lucia repeated her words again with a mutter.

     She couldn't help but think about Uncle Gyrus's kind smile as well as how he always called her Young Miss Lucia. He was dead, Uncle Gyrus was dead. Her heart couldn't help but clench in pain.

     Even her brother Lucas got captured but she knew why he was kept alive as it was obvious.

     The faces of the others around the table turned gloomy to the extreme. Their hearts couldn't help but tremble as they felt their future turn bleak.

     437 A New Life

      "If only Leader Daniuis didn't..." Someone in their group uttered but an angry cry shut them up.

     "Shut your mouth!" Lucia angrily glared at the person who spoke, a feeling of disgust welled up within her. Her eyebrows were narrowed in rage.

     They rely on her father when he's at the top, leading the Cloud Spring Mercenaries to reign as the Mercenary King but change their tune when he's down? Is there such a good thing in the world?

     Like the person who spoke, she had seen many people betray their mercenary group in the face of danger, maybe for the benefits or for their survival.

     She came to hold a deep amount of hatred and disgust for these people no matter what their reason maybe. They had made their choice and she made hers, even staining her hands with their blood.

     A few years back, Lucia thought her future would be bright, filled with adventure while going east to join the Falling Snow Sect, yet she didn't think the Tripartite Alliance would make a move on them, leading to this plight.

     What was the exact cause for them to make a move at an irregular time?

     It was because of her father, Daniuis.

     Her father tried to breakthrough into the Law Sea Stage, the Eight Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation but failed. Not only did he fail to have a breakthrough but the resulting backlash from the failure of breaking through struck him, lowering his strength to a wide degree.

     The Tripartite Alliance saw an opportunity and so did Jawan. As a result, they collectively made a move on the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, managing to topple it in a single strike.

     The end result was that the members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries were either forced to disband, be killed, or conceal themselves from the eyes of the Tripartite Alliance.

     Even the leader of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries hid along with his family and secluded himself to regain back his strength.

     However, their hiding place was found and targeted by the Seventh Stage Experts of the Tripartite Alliance, which led her father to stay behind so as to let them escape.

     Their unity was broken and they were forced to escape and separate as they inwardly hoped for their father to escape.

     Thankfully, their hopeful wishes were heard by the heavens and their father managed to escape from the Seventh Stage Cultivators of the Tripartite Alliance.

     However, the price her father had to pay for that was huge, which was none other than a pit, a downward spiral in his cultivation base.

     Cloud Spring Mercenary's Leader Daniuis's cultivation repeatedly took a hit and his cultivation base dropped to the point where he was only powerful enough to face the newly advanced Jawan to a standstill.

     His once-powerful cultivation was no more, forcing himself to hide again.

     "Father must not know of this matter no matter what, otherwise, he will instantly head into the enemy's hands to rescue Lucas." Lucia took a deep breath as she spoke but her eyes were dull.

     "But..." Nina spoke as her lips trembled.

     "My father is our only hope, do you want him to die as well?" Lucia spoke as she bit her lips.

     "And even if my father goes to rescue Lucas, chances are there is a death trap laid for him. We will all die..."

     Nina became stunned.

     That's right! Even if Daniuis went to save Lucas, the result would be the same.

     Her expression turned gloomy but she kept a smile on her face as tears threatened to drop down of her eyes.

     She kept her hands on her tummy and spoke to herself as her voice trembled, "It will turn out fine, I have Lucas's child... He will not die..."

     Lucia turned stunned as her expression became dazed.

     What!? Lucas's child?

     The last time they met with Lucas's group was about a month ago...

     Lucia's arms trembled as she stretched her hands slowly to hold Nina's hands. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out as she tried numerous times.

     A moment later, tears cascaded down her eyes as she broke down while only a few words left her mouth carrying boundless grief, "Yes, he will..."

     However, she no longer knew what to do anymore as immense sorrow threatened to break her will.

     ======

     Theo Inn, Luxurious Room 6.

     Davis and Evelynn returned to their room once they finished their meal, however, Davis looked like he was preoccupied with something.

     Nevertheless, Evelynn knew that he was precisely overhearing the conversation of the people downstairs. The conversation that happened between Lucia's group.

     So she stayed silent and didn't nudge him for information or disturb him.

     A few minutes passed and Davis finally turned to look at her.

     "What happened?" She finally asked, her face laden with curiosity.

     Davis sighed and proceeded to explain whatever he was able to infer from their short conversation.

     Evelynn's expression slowly changed and sympathy was visible in her eyes.

     "Did they leave?"

     "... They left the Inn, probably heading towards the place where Lucas is being kept captive, the capital of Loseris Kingdom." Davis answered as this was the last information he overheard from them.

     Evelynn nodded her head in understanding and after she heard what he had to say, she thought for a moment before speaking, "You told me before that Lucia's mother saved you from a magical beast before? If so, isn't it only natural for us to repay her goodwill?"

     Davis nodded his head earnestly, "I believe in karma more or less..."

     Evelynn's face blossomed into a smile. Her curved lips indicated that she was happy with his decision.

     What Davis said wasn't just some blind faith but he had already achieved elementary proficiency in Karma Laws and comprehended how it vaguely worked, connecting people and their fates.

     Normally, people who train in Karma Laws will only be able to peer through persons with the help of their comprehension in Karma Laws, however, due to the interference of an abstract will or disturbance, they will not be able to glance or perceive at it clearly.

     However, with Fallen Heaven in his arsenal, Davis was precisely able to do that. He was able to peer through a person's fate; as a basic example, their lifespan.

     With his Death God Eyes, he will always be able to know the end of a random person in the form of a thread as long as they weren't stronger than him in Soul Forging Cultivation.

     With him comprehending Karma Laws to top that, he believed that he can even become a Mystic Diviner if he is able to comprehend Space and Time Laws and achieve a bit of fusion with Karma Laws.

     "Nevertheless, if I made a move, then the others who are traveling with us will be inconvenienced, and I can only deal with those Seventh Stage Cultivators with the help of Princess Isabella." Davis smiled wryly.

     He didn't want to place the group in jeopardy, however, his eyes flashed with a hint of confidence.

     Seventh Stage Cultivators? It was true that he couldn't handle them with his own prowess, but what if he used Fallen Heaven? It would be child's play for him to kill them, as easy as throwing the trash to the dustbin.

     Tripartite Alliance Territory only had experts who were till the Peak of the Seventh Stage due to the restriction that was imposed by the three neighboring territories. Even if an enemy who is able to circumvent the prowess of Fallen Heaven shows up, he believed that he would be still able to take care of them unless the difference in cultivation was too large!

     Soul Essence...

     Fallen Heaven once said that it could devour a certain amount of his Soul Essence to obtain an increase in its prowess! He still had a trump card in his sleeve on top of normally using Fallen Heaven!

     438 Getting Help Through Sharing Benefits

      Although it remained to be seen whether if it would work on Peak-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators or not, Davis didn't want to ruin his life for a debt of gratitude even though it might seem selfish of him. After all, he did come to cherish life as a cultivator who could live a long life, and as a husband who can satisfy his wife.

     Evelynn frowned as she thought about Princess Isabella, "In the first place, we came here to hide since Princess Isabella convinced us to stay low for the time being and to escape the watchful senses of the Seventh Stage Cultivators. Do you think she will help us fight against Seventh Stage Cultivators?"

     Davis pondered for a moment before nodding his head, "With enough incentives, I guess. She is strong enough to go toe to toe, fist to fist against a Peak-Level Martial Master Stage Cultivator, and I can guarantee her strength because she and I have absorbed the Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence. I can feel the power coursing through and how much it makes us stronger physically."

     "Even now, I feel that my breakthrough to the next level in Body Tempering Cultivation is imminent."

     Evelynn blinked her eyes as she wondered if she could ever catch up to her husband in this lifetime. A sense of defeat welled up within her which was all too familiar, after all, she did once lose a deal with him, gambling her heart and soul which she eventually lost to him in the process.

     "In that case, let's go convince her right now."

     "Sure." Davis twisted his head while it cracked. It was as if he was preparing for a battle.

     Although he was unwilling to lose his life for a debt of gratitude and unwilling to reveal the existence of Fallen Heaven through repeated usage, he was willing to use his worldly possessions to help his benefactors!

     Besides, he wasn't afraid that Lucia, Nina, and Glyn would die anytime soon since their lifespan thread above their head indicated that they would not die anytime soon.

     ======

     "Can we come in?" Evelynn knocked on the door as her melodious voice echoed around the corner.

     No answer came for a short time which led her to look around to see if she got the right door.

     [Luxurious Room 8]

     Indeed, Luxurious Room 8 was where Princess Isabella stayed. She turned to look at the other rooms and wondered if Princess Isabella went to introduce herself to the ones who stayed in Luxurious Room 9 and 10.

     However, to Evelynn, Princess Isabella certainly didn't seem to be the type to socialize.

     "Did she perhaps go out for a walk?" Evelynn muttered in a bewildered tone.

     "No..." Replied Davis who was behind her and Evelynn promptly realized it at the same time.

     The door opened and a wave of sweet, floral fragrance spread to their nostrils which heightened their moods and refreshed their senses.

     "My apologies, I had just finished taking a bath, making you all wait outside for some time."

     Davis and Evelynn weren't surprised. After all, Elder Valoi's blood had splashed over Princess Isabella.

     Evelynn felt that as a woman, it would be strange if she didn't bath after being splashed with blood! Especially when it belonged to a disgusting person!

     In front of them stood Princess Isabella and different from the previous robe she wore, a yellow-colored robe with floral patterns covered her entire proportions below the face.

     Her face was bright, and her skin was pale as snow like it was an effect from the floral bath she took.

     "Come inside..." Princess Isabella gracefully turned around as she gestured.

     Davis and Evelynn followed her in while a table and a few chairs that were scattered around the room gathered together to create a place for a few to sit and chat.

     They all proceeded to relax and look at each other's faces as if urging each other to speak first.

     Princess Isabella's lips twitched as she finally took the initiative, "To what do I owe you two the pleasure of being graced with your presences?"

     Evelynn turned embarrassed as her cheeks turned red because she was well aware that she was talking to a princess, a powerful one.

     In fact, as a fellow woman, she respected this person, Princess Isabella a lot to the point of becoming a follower! In her teenage days, she had heard about Princess Isabella's prowess and especially looked forward to catching a glimpse when the latter came to the Loret Empire, however, she wasn't able to meet her, nor see her.

     "I'll be straightforward, I need your help in dealing with a matter."

     Princess Isabella cast her gaze on Davis and blinked, "Well, I presume that this matter concerns something you can't handle?"

     Davis nodded his head as if it was a matter of fact and continued to speak, "This matter involves coming in contact with Seventh Stage Cultivators from the Tripartite Alliance and possibly battling them if the situation needs, so you can choose to back out of this one. However, if you choose to agree to help, then I will hand you over the entirety of the loot we obtained earlier with the help of Uncle Erik."

     Princess Isabella blinked again but her lips curved into a smile as she leaned towards Davis, revealing the outline of her bountiful curves which was just short of Evelynn's.

     "With the help, I gave you in dealing with those Seventh Stage Cultivators at that time, more than half of the loot should belong to me by rightful share, however, since it was laced with possible traps and tracking formations, I'll reluctantly agree to take only half my rightful share."

     Davis blinked, "So you mean to say that one of the three spatial rings belong to you while one other should be shared equally between us?"

     "Precisely..."

     Davis smiled wryly. He had wondered why this woman hadn't brought up this matter when Uncle Erik gave the spatial rings to him but not it seemed like she was waiting for the right opportunity.

     "You were waiting for an opportunity to settle this peacefully?"

     Princess Isabella nodded her head, "I don't want to ruin our co-operative relationship by my own hands."

     "Hahaha." Davis laughed as he leaned back on the chair. He didn't pause, nor waste time to consider, "Fine, you can have it since it is your rightful share."

     He placed the two spatial rings on the table and pushed it towards her side.

     Princess Isabella took the two spatial rings and stored it in her spatial ring with a wave of her sleeves as a smile lit up her face, "Now we can negotiate the price you are willing to give in exchange for my help."

     Actually, the smile she wore never left her face during their conversation. It only increased or decreased in intensity as they discussed.

     Davis nodded to her statement, "Out of the three spatial rings, you have two. That makes you have two-thirds of the loot, not half, so the remaining you possess can be considered as a token of my sincerity. Even if you choose to not help me after hearing out the details, the two-thirds of the loot will still belong to you."

     "I thank Prince Davis for his generosity and magnanimity then..." Princess Isabella giggled inwardly as she didn't think that the other party would acquiesce to her request that easily.

     She knew that the other party also possessed treasures capable of withstanding the onslaught of Seventh Stage Cultivators, so she was not optimistic about gaining the loot that was given to him by Uncle Erik.

     After all, Davis could simply use the argument that he could've held against Seventh Stage Cultivators on his own while using treasures such as the Earth Dragon Abode.

     439 Princess Isabella“s Ambition

      However, Davis hadn't done that but instead gave it to her without being stingy. Other than creating a good impression on him while motivating Princesss Isabella to help him, his actions told her three things about him.

     First, it seemed like Davis had an important matter to deal with and needed her help to solve it.

     Second, that important matter needed immediate concern so he couldn't choose to be stingy with his loot.

     Third, that he was losing it out now to gain more treasures in the future with her help.

     If it were the third point, she inwardly made a note to negotiate the terms if they went on an expedition or something but if it were the other two points, she decided that she will try to help him with the best of her ability.

     "Alright!" Davis then proceeded to explain the details of the matter to her.

     A short moment later.

     "... In summary, I owe them a debt and want to repay them back before they actually die."

     Princess Isabella looked as if she was pondering but inwardly she was shocked.

     This man in front of her was saved from a Fifth Stage Magical Beast but he wanted to repay them by facing foes who were at the Seventh Stage?

     She began to wonder if this man was purely mad or a man with dignity and gratitude. After a brief consideration, she couldn't help but lean towards the latter.

     After all, if the gratitude they had shown could be considered large, then the way he was reciprocating could be said to be huge unless there was an ulterior motive in his mind to help them.

     She inclined her chin as she sat straight, "I'm happy to help..."

     Davis smiled and just when he was about to wave his hands to give her the remaining loot, he was interrupted.

     "However, in addition to the loot you promised, I want an additional treasure that is at King Grade. Furthermore, I want half the share of the loot if we manage to kill any Seventh Stage Cultivators in this endeavor."

     'So greedy?'

     Davis's eyes twitched, "Don't you think this is too much?"

     "Oh, not at all. I'm risking my life by challenging Seventh Stage Cultivators. Well, actually, forget the Seventh Stage Cultivators because I have already offended the Tripartite Alliance by killing three of their Seventh Stage Cultivators. If they sent even more powerful against me after helping you, wouldn't they try to send Eighth Stage Experts against me?"

     "By that time, I would stand no chance. Furthermore, I'm a woman. Death is the greatest mercy they can show if I got captured." Princess Isabella spoke as if her future was bleak, her face turning into a wry smile as if she were lamenting and worried about her fate.

     Davis went speechless. She placed so many cards on the table to gain advantage in the negotiation, even using a woman card while having the upper hand in the negotiation.

     Even though there was a ban placed on experts who were above the Seventh Stage in the Tripartite Alliance Territory, he felt that he really couldn't believe such a convenient rule, much less rely on it when he didn't know the true reason for the ban.

     If she stated this much, he really couldn't find a good argument to counter her and even if he did, he felt that it would just be disgraceful at this point.

     Furthermore, he felt that this wasn't an attitude one should hold while asking for a favor.

     He inwardly sighed and then opened his mouth, "Alright, I agree."

     Princess Isabella's wry smile disappeared and her lips imperceptibly curved into one of victory. It was as if she was proud that she won against a tough battle.

     Davis extended his hand and passed the last piece of loot, the remaining spatial ring to the table and pushed it towards Princess Isabella, "Never thought that you would be the greedy-type..."

     Princess Isabella took the spatial ring and kept it inside her own and giggled, "Excuse me? You have a backer, your mysterious master, while I don't. I have my royal family and an entire Empire with centuries of history to take care of..."

     Davis blinked as he heard her tone which sounded quite offended but he then replied, "So do I..."

     "You will eventually inherit the throne while I won't..." Princess Isabella stared at him.

     Davis turned confused. He turned to look at Evelynn and also saw her mulling with a confused look.

     Didn't Princess Isabella already inherit the throne of the Ruth Empire and become the Empress once?

     Could it be that it was just their imagination or was there a loose screw in Princess Isabella's mind?

     Davis blinked a few more times before his eyes glinted in realization, "Your marriage?"

     Princess Isabella nodded her head in appreciation for the other party to be able to realize her meaning, "I obviously won't marry a man who is weaker than me, so there is no way I can be the Empress of the Ruth Empire in the Grand Sea Continent because all the men there are so weak that they don't even enter my interest zone."

     "Other than that, and although entirely distasteful, even my brothers from other mothers have started to court me with renewed vigor, even convincing the family that the Earth Dragon Immortal Bloodline should be kept in the Ruth Family for benefits."

     Davis turned stunned as whatever that was left of his smile froze stiff. Meanwhile, Evelynn reacted as if she heard a nightmare.

     Being courted by blood-related step-brothers? Disgusting!

     When Evelynn was in the Cauldon Family Manor as its young miss, she had sometimes heard that marrying within the family happened in some families and was even quite common.

     In the cultivation world, blood relations weren't that much of a barrier but a boon since the babies born from inbreeding wouldn't have abnormal traits but possess talent and bloodline equalling their parents.

     There were no recessive traits in a normal and average cultivator's genes due to the presence of heaven and earth energy shrouding their bodies. Hence, there were no anomalies in the children caused by inbreeding.

     However, there were moral principles restricting the cultivators from inbreeding but the same can be said about the temptation of experiencing the forbidden in their boundlessly long lives.

     Davis knew this point too!

     "Although I can understand the importance of keeping the bloodline within the family, I don't want to marry a weak man, so my brothers came forward instead, betting on the fact that I would not decline them on the basis of closeness but they're simply wrong. The fact that I don't like weak men simply applied to them as well."

     "So you decisively choose to not stay in the Ruth Empire but travel here to look for a suitable and powerful man to marry?"

     Princess Isabella suddenly went silent. Her eyes darted around but she then suddenly spoke, "Not quite right..."

     Davis turned confused.

     "I'm pretty confident that I can clear the Earth Dragon Immortal Grade Trial if things proceed as planned in the future, so my future husband should be someone who can break into the..." With a slight pause, she continued in a proud yet concealed tone, "... Immortal Stage."

     Evelynn instantly turned dumbfounded at the words she heard from Princess Isabella. Although she respected the person, wasn't her ambitions and expectations too high for the current situation they were in!?

     Davis was also momentarily taken back but he nodded his head to her statement as if it wasn't much to be shocked about.

     440 His Only Hope To Live

      Davis had already cleared the Immortal Grade Trial of the Earth Dragon Immortal but it threw him out saying that he was an anomaly. He garnered that there wouldn't be a new person who could inherit the Immortal Inheritance any time soon.

     So the one with the highest likelihood to inherit its Immortal Inheritance would be none other than Princess Isabella since she had cleared the Emperor Grade Trial recently.

     He even had the thought that the Earth Dragon Immortal would support her in her endeavor to clear the Immortal Grade Trial. After all, it had lamented to him how it wasn't able to find a suitable successor after all those years.

     However, he didn't know that he was right on the mark!

     The Earth Dragon Immortal did indeed favor Princess Isabella and her confidence to reach the Immortal Stage in this lifetime precisely stemmed from this matter.

     She knew about this matter because the Earth Dragon Immortal personally said to her when she cleared the Emperor Grade Trial that it would lower the difficulty for her to clear the Immortal Grade Trial.

     At that time, she remembered how she was instantly elated and even had the urge to elegantly dance at the spot.

     Evelynn took a glance at Davis when she saw him nodding to her high expectations. She couldn't help but have some doubt that if he was patronizing her since she couldn't guess Princess Isabella's chances to clear the Immortal Grade Trial.

     She closed her slightly agape mouth and didn't opt to speak since this conversation seemed to be slightly... no, way out of her league.

     Davis spoke as she shook his head, "Well, to each their own..."

     It's not like he was against or had anything to comment on Princess Isabella's ambitions.

     "I'll present you a King Grade Item after the matter of helping me can be considered over."

     "It's settled then... Just tell me when you're leaving, I'll have to prepare..." Princess Isabella gave a smile.

     "We'll leave in an hour," Davis spoke and stood up, turning to leave. He was afraid that they would leave his sensing range soon, but he wasn't worried that much since he had the confidence to find them again as he had familiarized himself with their undulations.

     Besides, by using his Death God Eyes and Soul Sense in tandem, he was able to figure out they wouldn't die anytime soon since the length of their threads above their heads indicated that their lifespan wasn't short.

     Different from the Karma Threads which connected people, he called it the lifespan threads.

     Evelynn stood up and slightly bowed as a form of respect before running to catch up to Davis.

     Once the both of them left, a sigh leaked out from Princess Isabella as she thought, 'Could I have offended him with this or shouldn't I have asked for more?'

     Princess Isabella knew that she was indeed asking for more, however, she had too many commitments to fulfill and take care of...

     As a princess, she knew that without power and wealth, status was meaningless unless she had a backer. Someone had to be supporting her from behind but she didn't have such existences like the one Davis had, the mysterious senior who had massacred millions of people without even making a sound.

     Hence, she had to gain wealth and strengthen herself as much as possible, so as not be taken advantage of...

     In her years of being a princess of the Ruth Empire, she had always been languid and easygoing even though she acted cold, however, her first trip into the Tripartite Alliance made her realize the dangers, making her high-strung.

     There were too many dangers she had faced, even almost being 'subordinated' to a person of power.

     Princess Isabella's eyes flashed as she thought all of this...

     As for Davis...

     'No, the way I see it, he is a prideful yet reasonable man. I don't think he is offended since I didn't cross my limits...'

     ======

     Capital of Loseris Kingdom.

     In a particular Inn where mercenaries and vagabonds visit, drink and engage in discussion and conflict from time to time.

     Three black-robed figures sat together as they spoke in hushed tones.

     "Are you sure? Did you really see them entering the Royal Palace?" A young feminine voice echoed.

     Another black-robed figure nodded its head, "Although I was far away while tailing them, I certainly saw them entering the Royal Palace. However, I don't know why exactly they chose to visit the Royal Family at this time?"

     The last black-robed figure spoke, "They probably wanted to request, no, command the Loseris Royal Family to help search for us, the members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries. Glyn, did you see Lucas with them?"

     Glyn nodded his head.

     He and Nina were new faces in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries and didn't even completely join the Cloud Spring Mercenaries through a formal process. However, through Lucas and Lucia's recommendation, they were allowed to join their group.

     With this advantage of being not known much, Glyn had roamed around the capital like a vagabond, spotted the Arc Song Mercenaries as he followed them secretly and surveyed the Royal Palace from the outside for a short moment before returning to report to Lucia.

     He turned to look at his elder sister, Nina, "I'm not sure but if they're moving and not staying in a single place, Lucas must be certainly with them."

     Nina's eyes glowed with hope, "If Lucas is with the Royal Family, maybe we can..."

     The black-robed figure who first spoke cut her short in a feminine voice, "The power difference between the Arc Song Mercenaries and the Royal Loseris Family is simply huge. The latter would undoubtedly take the former's side and screw us over if we sell ourselves out."

     "But... Lucia..." Nina turned anxious.

     Lucia sighed, "We cannot reveal ourselves but we can try to retrieve Lucas. If he is treated as a captive, he is most likely kept in prison for the time being."

     Glyn's eyes gleamed, "We can strike at that!"

     Lucia also nodded. All three of them came here to try and rescue Lucas. She didn't believe the others but she believed these two siblings.

     Nina held her blood brother's legacy in her womb while Glyn was Nina's little brother.

     Lucia and Lucas had once told them to come to Cloud Spring Mercenaries if they couldn't stay in their own family, and they really came.

     All was good until the Cloud Spring Mercenaries completely collapsed.

     Lucia clenched her teeth as she considered the risks, "Nina, you cannot come with us."

     Nina widened her eyes in shock, "Why? I still am not weakened!"

     For women, pregnancy would cause weakness in them. The more time passed in the gestation period, the weaker they would become because the child in their womb would be passively nurtured by the mother's cultivation level, giving rise to their latent talent on top gaining their father's genes.

     In the initial period, like the first three months of pregnancy, they would not be weakened much, and still would be able to fight normally.

     Lucia shook her head, "In case if anything happens to us, then only you can live to ensure that we get our revenge."

     "Don't say that..." Nina stuttered in worry but she was interrupted.

     "If something happened to us, leave this place and regroup with my father. If he knows that you carry my brother's child, my father will surely take care of you."

     "But!"

     Lucia interrupted her again, "No buts! We don't even know if my brother is alive in a realistic sense! If he is..."

     She suddenly stopped and took a deep breath but didn't continue her words, "You are his only hope for him to live!"

     Nina's heart shook.

     For him to live...

     She lowered her gaze and saw her own stomach as she no longer spoke.

     Glyn suddenly spoke, "With just the two of us, the chances of being spotted dwindles, besides, we have only two Peak-Level Sky Grade Stealth Robes which helps us evade the enemy's senses. Elder sister, you should stay here."

     Nina pondered for a while before she finally nodded her head.
