Divine Emperor of Death

2493 Blossoming Seed

After leaving the Fire Phoenix Immortal Inheritance's True Ring, Davis, Evelynn, Isabella, and Mira entered the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace. Eldia was also with him, having entered his soul sea.

To her, the phoenix souls were not that effective since she wasn't off the fire attribute. If anyone would have a snack at it, then they guessed that it must be Starcy or the others who trained in fire-attribute to obtain better results.

As for the immortal crystals, she could smell that there was even more of a better treat inches away from the life ring on Davis that was leaking heavenly undulations that were only sensitive to her.

As for Nadia, she stayed to get some treats from Shirley, obviously targeting the Low-Level Immortal Crystal Vein Fragments that would allow her to continue to grow faster.

While Shirley was enjoying her popularity, Davis ordered Evelynn, Isabella, and Mira to ready themselves in the Life Nurturing Formation on the seventh floor. They agreed and headed on, leaving him on the ground floor, where he looked at the splitter spirit formation that Myria created as he thought about Schleya.

'Hmm… originally, I thought of getting the Blood Essence Orb for her to strengthen her Blood Laws and allow her to get into the true disciple roster, but who would've thought it's important to my Chaotic Genesis Physique...'

Davis couldn't help but wryly smile. Moreover, there was another important reason why he chose to get the Blood Essence Orb, as there might be a chance for it to restore Mira's blood essence as soon as possible after extracting it.

And it turns out that it is indeed unique, having the power to restore blood essence. In that realm, it could be considered a supreme treasure.

But now, he also required it for him in order to create the Chaotic Genesis Physique. That meant that he had to divide it into three instead of two. However, was one-third of the original Blood Essence Orb enough to fuel the Chaotic Genesis Physique along with the myriad of unknown ingredients that would be required to create it?

He didn't know. He didn't have access to the records in the Grand Chaos Body Art to view its recipe to determine how much it needed, so he was caught in a bind.

'Well, it would take ten years for me or a year in the time palace to be able to challenge Lereza, and I'm obviously not going to seclude myself for ten years in the time palace as it would only help increase my cultivation, but I don't have enough resources to seclude myself in the first place. There's also the matter of perfecting my physiques.'

Davis shook his head. Besides, there were others to take care of.

He didn't want to see his two daughters, already having grown up either, indifferent to his presence as they came to hate him for never showing his face.

Thinking of them, his two legs couldn't help but automatically take them to their room, whereupon he saw Isabella and Shirley taking care of them in their avatars.

Of course, this was when they were busier.

Most of the time, he knew they were together in their real bodies, not to mention that this was the most visited room in the entire palace that his other women regularly visited to play with his two babies when they had time, especially in the last month time of the palace where most were free.

However, seeing Eterna and Celestia asleep on the bed, he didn't have the heart to disturb them. However, he was quite moved to see them become around two years old.

The two cutie pies were together, holding their tiny hands together as they slept. Their cute heads had become slightly bigger, and their tiny frame also had grown bigger but chubbier. The two of them only had a few months of difference in the time of their birth, but it seemed like both of them were gluttons.

Davis's expression melted as he imagined the antics and the atrocities they would be committing as they annoyed and irritated their mothers, his pupils becoming somewhat forlorn as he was unable to be together with them all the time.

"Don't keep them in the time chamber anymore. Bring them outside in a month or so to see the outside world."

He told Isabella and Shirley, causing them to nod their heads with an overjoyed expressions.

They also thought the same thing as it was foolish to spend one's childhood all the way to adulthood just locked up in the time palace. They originally thought that they could take them outside when they were seven or eight years old, but after receiving Davis's permission to take them out sooner, they couldn't help but feel excited.

"Eterna… Celestia… forgive your father for not showing up properly."

Davis whispered, afraid to wake them up. After spending a bit more time with them, he finally left.

With his soul sense sweeping over the palace, he managed to discover the others who had been brought together with them while escaping from the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City.

Arriving before them, he greeted Founder Alstreim Windstorm and Ancestor Cornelia, congratulating them for not making a stupid decision such as staying back.

"You're really blunt, huh..." Ancestor Klade grinned as he stretched his limbs that cracked all over the place.

Davis blinked at those terrifying sounds, "Well, yeah. If you choose to say instead of appearing here, then there was not really much I can do other than watch you die. Of course, since I brought you all here, I can compensate the damages I caused you with my presence. After all, that piece of property you have in that city is going to be useless in time after the Fire Phoenix Clan eventually catches up with my trivial plays and finds out that it's abandoned."

"Fine, fine. You're a good young man who knows how to take care of elderly people like me."

Ancestor Klade smiled at Ancestor Cornelia as he nodded his head to Davis. It seemed that he was satisfied with the accommodation, but how could he not be satisfied after learning that this was the Aurora Cloud Gate of the legends?

Davis then interacted with the Alstreims, telling them not to step out of the residence until a month, and took them outside the palace.

There were only a few dozen people from the Alstreim Family after the two Burning Phoenixes, so it wasn't much trouble for him to accommodate them here in this vast residence, much less the entire island that was eventually going to become his fortress.

"Boss, can I also become a disciple at the Aurora Cloud Gate?" Suddenly, Jerius Alstreim couldn't help but ask.

"Mhm, you could qualify to be an outer disciple and barely qualify for an inner disciple, so you can try, I guess, after a month, that is… However, if you die outside, that's not on me."

Davis shrugged as though he couldn't do anything about it.

Since the island wasn't secured, he was worried about letting them out to be vulnerable targets. If they got bullied, harmed, or poisoned to death, then the responsibility would fall on him since this was his territory. But outside? It wasn't his concern.

"I understand. I understand."

Jerius Alstreim grinned after receiving Davis's approval.

Having fought with Davis once in the form of arm wrestling, he could tell that he wasn't Davis's match at all with how unfathomable his aura appeared to be. He couldn't even sense it if he didn't force his senses to concentrate.

That was how the other party deeply stayed unnoticed, and to be unnoticed in the same realm while standing right there in front of him was a feat, unlike anything he had ever seen, causing him to instantly call him boss.

The others were also satisfied with the outcome, especially with Davis, who they felt was already too powerful than their entire family's might combined. It was no wonder Founder Alstreim Windstorm gave so much importance to him.

However, it was unknown what kind of expression they would make if they came to know that he could cross ten levels higher to battle.

"Ancestor Cornelia, don't worry. I only need a few more months to return your husband to his original handsome looks."

Davis sent a soul transmission, causing the crimson-haired beauty to become stunned that she couldn't hide her smile. Fortunately, she wore a veil, so no one noticed that her lips were twitching, barely stopping herself from thanking Davis with all the gratitude in her heart.

Nonetheless, leaving them to their devices as they checked out their new mansion in the vast residence, Davis also let out the Reaper Soul Legion to keep an eye on them while securing the vast residence before he reentered the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

He walked towards another person's room, and after waiting in front of the door after knocking, there was a crimson-robed woman who opened the door. Although her expression seemed indifferent, her crimson pupils appeared to light up ever so lightly in delight.

"You're here. What would you like me to do?"

"Straight to the point." Davis wryly smiled, "I like it..."

He then explained to her how he needed her to become a true disciple of the Aurora Cloud Gate to secure the island.

Schleya listened carefully before she nodded her head, "Sure. If it's your wish, I'll give it my best to get a spot."

"…" Davis blinked, "Becoming a true disciple of the Aurora Cloud Gate is also beneficial to you. Since their library could be vast, I think they have authentic blood techniques that don't seem evil at a glance."

"If you say so. Even if there's none, I can still be of use to you by becoming a true disciple, right?"

"Right…"

Schleya's lips curved, "Then that's all there is to it."

"I see."

ᴡ ᴏᴠʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs ᴀʀ ᴘᴜʙʟsʜᴅ ᴏ ꜰʀᴡʙ(ᴏᴠ)ʟ.ᴄ(ᴏ)ᴍ

Davis pursed his lips while staring at Schleya's quick responses. Was she listening or not? But it did seem like she was listening to him but really didn't care as long as she could benefit him, wanting to repay him.

"Aren't you going to invite me inside?"

"…?"

There was finally a trace of panic in Schleya's eyes as they trembled. Her pupils that maintained contact with his sapphire pupils moved away for the first time.

"Sure. You can enter. It's your palace in any case." Her voice somewhat became mellow, causing her cheeks to produce a blush.

"But it's your room," Davis revealed a satisfied smile before he narrowed his brows.

"Well, a few people are waiting for me. I better go, or I'll find myself punished. I'll see you later but don't forget to become a true disciple. If you have doubts, get in touch with Shirley."

Schleya absentmindedly nodded as she watched him leave. She felt like she had been bamboozled for some reason, causing her to smile wryly.

"I'll see you later, huh..."

At the same time, Mingzhi's ancient words, which were like a spell, couldn't help but pop into her mind, causing the blush to remain even after she went back inside and closed the door.
