Divine Emperor of Death

After a while of discussion, the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor nodded their heads and asked the beauties consent one last time, garnering their acceptance. Then, they took oaths and brought out Blood Soul Contracts as they acknowledged with their blood after settling on the conditions that both parties approved.

"Emperor of Death, Beauty Nadia, Young Miss Clara, and Young Miss Tia. We bid you farewell till next time. Until then, please take care of all matters that you have to so that when the time comes, you will be free of trouble and worries."

They then clasped their hands and left.

Davis wanted to see them out, but they declined. He stood there on the platform, wondering how this decision would fare. After all, making Clara's identity known to the powerhouses of the cultivation world was quite dangerous. However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't arrive at an answer other than massacre because there's no surefire way to seal people's mouths.

But could they keep her suppressed for this reason?

Fortunately, they settled on hiding her physique, but Clara was a woman who would eventually shine. At that time, he would have to make a decision, and Davis felt determined for that scenario because he had already been a bad brother where he left her and made her look after their home, for she always wanted to adventure with him.

He took a deep breath before he turned to look at Clara.

"Clara, I don't know what you whispered to Tia to make her change her mind, but you're going to make sure that she's safe. As the senior, you should look after her."

"Brother can rest assured."

Clara revealed a smile full of confidence. It was so dazzling that Davis momentarily lost his bearing as his shoulders drooped.

"I'm rather worried about your deadly beauty that would attract all kinds of toads. Fortunately, I made the decision to assign you two a trusted protector each."

"Who are they?"

"Oh, you'll come to know of them..."

Davis shot a smug smile at Clara before he turned to look at the sweet woman.

"Tia, come with me."

"Uh?"

Tia became dumbfounded at his words before Davis explained.

"I was looking to comprehend Space Laws before I head out, so why don't you join me, Tia? It should be helpful for your cultivation to become a Mystic Diviner."

"Oh~ Alright!"

Tia smiled as she nodded three times.

"I want to learn too!"

Clara narrowed her eyes as she raised her voice, causing Davis to contemplate before he nodded.

"Space Laws are extremely useful, so why not?"

Davis acknowledged as he took them to his master room while Nadia went about her way to absorb Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources. When they arrived, Davis brought out a big, fifteen-foot-tall diamond-shaped crystal that shone with an otherworldly purple light. It was not darkness but space entwining together to form an expanse and create darkness in the absence of light, making it appear blackish-purple.

It was none other than the Space-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source!

The space around them began to bend, but strangely enough, they were not affected but found themselves in a trance as they sat down to comprehend.

Time passed this way without anything being talked about. But after some time of silence, an uncomfortable voice echoed out.

"Big brother, this is too thick to grasp..."

"...!?"

Tia's voice sounded in the room, causing Davis's eyes to go wide as he almost spat a mouthful of blood from cultivation deviation. Only after a moment of staring at her innocent eyes did he perceive that she meant comprehension instead of something else. He slowly took a deep breath to calm himself down before he took out a triangular-shaped crystal.

"My bad. I should've known."

He sent her a Space-Attributed High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment that came in many quantities along with the spatial ring presented by the Ike Family as a tribute.

He turned to look at Clara, who remained unimpeded in her efforts over comprehension, and inwardly sighed, thanking the heavens that her mind hadn't become dirty like him. However, a blush appeared on Clara's face after some time before she secretly took a deep breath and removed all her unwanted thoughts, concentrating on spatial comprehension.

After some time of some more silence amidst the bending and twisting room, Davis suddenly flicked his hand as a messaging talisman appeared in his palm.

Hearing the first bout of information, Davis's eyes that were curious shot wide. He went out of his room first before screaming into it.

"What did you say? There was a heavenly tribulation in the Burning Phoenix Ridge?"

"Yes," The All-Seeing Emperor's voice echoed from the messaging talisman, "My All-Seeing Tower's informant in the Burning Phoenix Ridge risked his life to transmit this message, and fortunately, they didn't get caught. However, we don't know who ascended at this moment, but the informant felt that it should be Ancestor Cornelia. I also think the same since Sect Master Lea Weiss it isn't possible for her to break through to the Peak-Level Law Rune Stage yet."

'No... she's already in the Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, even more, stronger than the Mandate Emperor. Ancestor Cornelia doesn't want more life but wants to protect the sect until her death, so...'

Davis thought with a complex expression on his face before he echoed into the messaging talisman.

"Hide all information of this. If any of it leaked from your side, you're not going to be alive to see the next day."

"I understand. But there are also hidden spies from other powers present in that sect."

All-Seeing Emperor was not surprised as he knew the Emperor of Death had a formal alliance with the Burning Phoenix Ridge due to marrying Shirley. If news of this heavenly tribulation spread, perhaps, some might try to attack the Burning Phoenix Ridge, which is naturally a headache to the Emperor of Death.

"Fine, but make sure this remains under wrap to the best of your ability."

"Yes!"

The All-Seeing Emperor didn't seem to disobey before the stone lost its glow.

Davis kept the messaging talisman inside his spatial ring before he appeared confused.

'What the hell... Myria and Ellia warned me to ascend, and now, Sect Master Lea Weiss had ascended as well? What's going on here?'

Davis couldn't understand why Sect Master Lea Weiss would quickly ascend without reaching the peak in all three cultivation systems. He knew that she had the dream of reaching immortality, but what's the hurry?

If she was so impatient, how would she have a good foundation?

'Could it be because of me? No way. She's a prideful person, while I'm too arrogant to be thinking like that. She probably has her Burning Phoenix Ridge in the immortal world as well, so she plans to rely on them to counter that from... above...?'

Raising his head towards the skies, he looked at the damned Calamity Light as his gaze penetrated the palace's roof.

Davis couldn't tell Sect Master Lea Weiss's thoughts but he knew that the Calamity Light was extremely dangerous as it gave him the feeling of danger, but where was the assurance that ascending would give him a chance to fight against whatever comes his way?

He had yet to find something like that.

At this rate, he could only blindly take a decision and walk the path of hell.

'Unless... I capture that white witch who seems like she could know more...'

Davis's sapphire eyes flashed with intensity.
