Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's gaze fell on the Peak-Level Sky Grade Scythe and remembered its description that was posted on the Cloud Spring Mercenaries' Treasury.

[

Grieving Emerald Scythe

Forged by Blacksmith Helix, and described to one of his proud works up to date since he had managed to mix a tiny amount of Emerald Indic, a type of King Grade Steel into the blade and the staff of the Scythe.

]

"Who is Blacksmith Helix?" Davis raised an eyebrow. This person seemed to be intent on forging Scythes as he saw a lot of them being placed on Cloud Spring Mercenaries' Treasury.

"Blacksmith Helix was a person who was not known much in the Alstreim Territory but he was a person who liked to make weapons which were not mainstream; popular in the eyes of the cultivators. He dabbed on creating many weapons, even types of equipment such as hidden weapons, however, his creations were not received well."

"He offended another famous blacksmith who told him that his works were worth fart, so he was forced to leave the Alstreim Territory for his life."

Daniuis sighed, "He was a good friend of mine, so he gave some of his prized works to me, telling that I should spread his creations before leaving at that time."

"Even I was helpless at that time to help him..."

Davis perfunctorily nodded his head as he listened.

So that's what had happened.

After listening to Daniuis's speech about the Peak-Level Sky Grade Scythe capable of becoming a King Grade Scythe, he wanted to know the whereabouts of Blacksmith Helix to get him to upgrade the Peak-Level Sky Grade Scythe for him.

It had been probably many years since the Scythe was created, and at that time, Blacksmith Helix was a Peak-Level Sky Grade Blacksmith.

Now, shouldn't Blacksmith Helix have crossed the bottleneck and surpassed the Sky Grade, reaching King Grade in terms of blacksmithing?

'That would be the case if he was still alive and well...' Davis inwardly lamented but his thoughts quickly got back on track when he heard Daniuis speak again.

"If I knew you were my niece's son when we first met, I would've treated you so well." Daniuis had an awkward expression on his face.

"Well, someone even went far as to check If I was even a human in the first place." Davis chuckled.

"It's all in the past..." Daniuis had an unfocused gaze as if he was lamenting why he couldn't recognize his niece's son at that time.

"See, my firstborn is only about 22 years old, however, he has reached the Law Seed Stage, Martial Ascension Stage and Mature Soul Stage!"

Claire had her cheeks glowing in pride. She pointed at Davis and was bragging like a small kid where no elegance be seen in her actions.

Maybe she had acted like this to Daniuis when she was a child but Davis could see her turn happy when she was bragging about him. He couldn't help but turn embarrassed for his mother while Daniuis had a stunned expression on his face.

Even his body turned stiff from hearing Claire's words.

Although he knew Davis would only be at a young age currently, when he actually heard it along with his cultivation base, it brought immense trembling to his mind, making him unable to think properly with all those denying thoughts popping up his mind.

"Is it true!?" He could only utter in disbelief.

Claire proudly nodded her head while her lips curved, "Yes, he tries to give equal attention to all the Cultivation Systems."

Daniuis's lips twitched as he turned speechless.

Tries to give equal attention? Why don't you just go equal attention to the whole world!?

He had been absolutely turned mum by this Mother-Son duo, and even envy took root in his heart.

Even in this First Layer, those geniuses who were 21 years old would've only reached Fourth Stage at best, while extremely few would manage to reach the Fifth Stage through various kinds of inheritances.

Meanwhile, his niece's son had reached above the Fifth Stage in almost all the Cultivation Systems?

What kind of achievement was that? He couldn't help but take a deep amount of cold breath into his lungs to calm himself down.

His gaze fell on Claire, "Could it be that he had managed to clear..."

Daniuis didn't speak anymore but sent a Soul Transmission, "... the Immortal Inheritance which is said to be in that Forsaken Phoenix Realm?"

Claire nodded her head, "He only managed to clear the Emperor Grade Trial of an Immortal Inheritance."

"Good... Good!" Daniuis continuously nodded his head while pinching his chin, his lips quirked and his face lit up in excitement.

Whatever his niece's son should've received would've entirely helped him increase his cultivation base, however, he couldn't understand why Davis's Soul Forging Cultivation was enormously high at this young age.

'Could it be the Immortal Inheritance is related to Soul Forging Cultivation?' Daniuis doubted but didn't voice out his thoughts.

If it were truly an Immortal Inheritance relating to Soul Forging Cultivation, then the entire human territories would try to invade the Tripartite Alliance Territory!

Immortal Inheritances that concentrated on Soul Forging Cultivation were so rare that only two had been found out of the hundreds spread out in the human territories.

If this information were to be ever leaked...

Daniuis couldn't help but take a cold deep breath as trepidation enveloped his heart. He quickly told his thoughts to Claire and the others, telling them to not even let out a single word of this information.

Claire's face turned solemn. Her world view was quite narrow so she didn't understand the repercussions of revealing this information. However, Claire knew that the Immortal Inheritances in the Grand Sea Continent didn't relate one's Soul Forging Cultivation.

Just as she was about to tell her uncle about Davis's elusive and mysterious master, she received a Soul Transmission.

"Mother, don't tell them about my master. I've already lied to them that my master had died to avoid suspicion the first time I met him. Just play it safe and accept his warning."

Claire paused for a moment before nodding her head at Daniuis, "Alright, I'll keep your warning in mind and not reveal this to anyone else."

Daniuis nodded and his wrinkled forehead relaxed as his gaze fell on Davis.

Davis was then suddenly reminded, "Should I call you Grand Uncle or Leader Daniuis?"

Daniuis laughed, "Hahaha! Call me Grand Uncle!"

"I'll call you that, however, wouldn't that reveal my identity to the others, like Lucia and Lucas. It's better if you kept them in the dark about this matter."

Daniuis blinked his eyes as the smile on his face left. He pondered for a moment before answering, "Alright, call me Daniuis when we're in the eyes of the public."

"Got it, Grand Uncle..." Davis echoed in a monotonous tone as he raised his brows.

"Pftt... Hahaha!" They both then laughed, however, Daniuis suddenly spoke, "Could you return Glyn's corpse? You know, Lucia badly wants to see him and bury him herself."

Daniuis would've never asked this if he didn't know that Davis was his niece's son but since he knew now, it wouldn't be a matter of offending but requesting.

Davis's face turned blank as he was put on a spot. Even he didn't know what he was going to do with Glyn's corpse but he felt that he needed it if he were ever going to do something!

His mind swirled and he casually came up with a lie without batting an eyelid, "I took away Glyn's corpse because I didn't want Nina to witness her little brother's death at her time of pregnancy."
