Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2367 Slight Deviation

An amber-brown colored flying boat flew in the skies, passing through mountains and valleys. However, it was concealed, although it wouldn't escape the senses of Mid-Level Immortal entities and above.

A man was seated on the deck, lying on a reclined chair as though he was on a beach vacation while eating some fruits.

The soft texture of the peach-like fruit melted into his mouth, and the resulting flavors sped throughout his tongue's taste buds, causing him to moan in satisfaction. It imbued a lot of immortal energy into him, causing the lower world's aura from his body to fade.

This person was none other than Davis in the persona of Feng Chu but was now the assassin yet to be known as Dead End.

He bought these fruits from the stalls in the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City while selling the unneeded assets and, of course, purified them with his life energy secretly.

As soon as he finished eating the peach-like fruit, Davis burped and couldn't help but chuckle at the rate of digestion, feeling his lower world aura having completely vanished.

'Chaotic energy is truly marvelous...'

Although his lower world aura was cleared by this time by simply eating the things of this world, he used his chaotic martial energy to ingeniously mimic the heaven and earth energy of this world. Doing so let him walk free so that no one suspected him of being a lower-world denizen.

At that same time, Davis also discovered that he could use chaotic energy to release all kinds of energy, but of course, just the ones he had learned had been tempered in or comprehended.

Since he had learned Space Laws, he was able to use spatial energy and even time energy as well since he had learned Time Laws a bit for Body Tempering Cultivation, his body personally experiencing the alternating flow of time, further becoming capable of allowing these energies to surge out of his body even though that wasn't the case for his chaotic energy.

His chaotic energy was unable to still exit his body, making him wonder if he had done something wrong with his Body Tempering Cultivation cultivation or had just reached a bottleneck as he initially mused.

'Well, I'll probably know after becoming an immortal, but...'

Davis didn't know what kind of level Chaos Laws had reached, but it had very likely reached the tier of Top-Tier Supreme Law in his assessment based on power. However, this assessment left him a bit confused because the Five Element Laws were said to have exceeded the realm of Supreme Laws. This also made him wonder if Chaos Laws couldn't be properly used because there was already an absolute owner for it.

For example…

'The heavens…'

Davis pursed his lips, going silent for a few minutes while the flying boat still made its way east. Sometime later, he got out of his reverie and shook his head.

'Perhaps, with chaotic energy being this good in element change, I might have to rethink my cultivation path...'

Initially, Davis thought he could accommodate Space Laws and Time Laws with Essence Gathering Cultivation, but his thoughts were moving in another direction now as he saw the potential of chaos, thinking if he could better accommodate them with the form change of chaotic energy. Although there was a slight delay, it was still better than him transforming his heavenly lightning, and heavenly flame attributed essence energy into spatial or temporal energy.

Besides, with him becoming more and more specialized in cultivation in Essence Gathering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation, he felt that his Body Tempering Cultivation, which still didn't have a physique was good for the usage of other energies. Moreover, even if he did create that powerful and mysterious sounding Chaotic Genesis Physique, an artificially created Immortal Grade Body Physique, he would still retain the ability to better produce other energies, unlike his other two cultivation systems.

'Furthermore, my Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation will also share an intrinsic connection once I become an immortal, raising together, which means the Laws I comprehend for one cultivation will also benefit the other. I will have a chance to fuse my Space Laws and Time Laws I learned for Essence Gathering Cultivation to Body Tempering Cultivation...'

Although Davis figured that it wouldn't bring his Body Tempering Cultivation's Time Law comprehension to Level One Intent, he figured that it would at least attain seven minor resonances or more. A proportional level of exchange would also occur for his comprehension of Space Laws for his Body Tempering Cultivation.

With these thoughts fueling his determination, Davis decided on a slight change of course for his cultivation path.

One and half days later, Davis arrived at a Province.

He was no longer in a flying boat but had his figure concealed, sitting on top of a giant branch of a five-hundred-meter-tall tree. The quality of its wood alone seemed to have reached Late Immortal Grade, but for obvious reasons, Davis can't just steal it.

Panning his gaze, he watched the tall walls, his gaze especially lingering on the golden gate of the Minn Family as he kept watch on the traffic. As for why he hadn't gone inside yet, it was because there was a Late Immortal Grade Defensive Barrier setup. At least, that was what Nadia picked up as he was incapable of sensing it.

'No wonder this mission gives me forty million Immortal Crystals...'

Assassinating Haijin Minn was considered an Emperor Grade Mission because the mission only considered the prowess of the target and not its background. But, when the reward is considered, the background is taken into account. Moreover, there was a bonus reward that said he could obtain sixty more Immortal Crystals as long as he brought back the corpse in one piece.

With this kind of wealth inputted into this mission, Davis figured that the client of this mission was not some person who wanted justice but some other person who wanted Haijin Minn's Pure Yang Body, or at least his blood essence, making it so that they were probably Minn Family's enemies or rivals, not that it mattered to him as long as he could obtain the rewards and karmic sin.

Nonetheless, he stayed for an hour, surveying the traffic.

It was like a countryside town but still well off compared to towns and, perhaps, Tier Three Cities.

This was a Province, a piece of landmass belonging to a separate power. It was still located inside the Southwest Fire Phoenix Prefecture, but this separate power had its own social laws and authority over the land because it had legally bought the land from the Fire Phoenix Clan.

But even though The Minn Family owned this place, it still belonged to the Fire Phoenix Clan, so every hundred years or thousand years, depending on the contract they have, they need to pay up their taxes.

'Hmm… it seems like getting in won't be easy unless I use visible means...'

Looking at only a few people like immortal merchants being able to enter, Davis found this place mostly had Minn's like the Alstreim Family. This was not a city but a family-based location.

He retreated a few kilometers away before he took the official path. Of course, he also didn't wear his black robe but wore a white robe. His facial features had also been disguised lightly to look scholarly and handsome. It didn't change much from his look as Davis Loret, but with short black hair and a suave mustache, he was not Davis Loret nor Feng Chu.

Making his way to the Minn Family's gates, he arrived and stood in line, waiting patiently. When it was finally his turn, he saw two silver-armored guards. They had white hair flowing down their armored heads and amber eyes, a common trait of the Minn Family members.

Nonetheless, the two Level Four Immortal Cultivators moved their spears, blocking his path as they opened their mouths.

"Stop."

"State your affairs in your pursuit to enter our Minn Family."

"Greetings, fellow cultivators." Davis clasped his hand, "This humble one is known as Mo Tian. I've come from afar to take Immortal Alchemist Shaiya Minn as my master as I've heard about her glorious name."

Shaiya Minn was none other than a name he had just come to know while watching the traffic passing through the gates. As for Mo Tian, he casually added Mingzhi's family name and his old name to his current persona.

"Oh, you're here to become one of our Peak-Level Alchemy Immortal's disciples?"

"Yes."

Davis nodded, causing that guard to return the nod.

"That's fine, but you should know that the fees aren't low as Immortal Alchemist Shaiya Minn is pursued even by the Fire Phoenix Clan for her ability to concoct pills. Moreover, if your aptitude isn't up to par, you can't blame our Minn Family and spread false rumors."
