Divine Emperor of Death

Davis heard the conversation above.

A hint of excitement surged in his heart after hearing that there was a secret realm. However, with the number of mortal cultivators here, he quickly deduced that it must be something of little use to him, like an immortal resource or heavenly resource.

He had already maxed out more in the mortal realm than anyone he had heard or seen, so would this secret realm be useful for him?

Utmost, he felt that it could help his people. With that kind of assumption, he still had Klein Zyrus's assassination as a priority. He hadn't got to see the amount of karmic sin Klein Zyrus possessed since two Immortal Kings were guarding him.

Although Fallen Heaven's powers couldn't be detected easily, he didn't want to be caught gazing strangely, even if it was by chance.

"Brother, do you want to team up?"

Davis was in his own thoughts when a white-robed cultivator approached him, addressing him as he closed the distance.

His eyes were violet in hue, and he appeared to be a handsome man who looked younger than him as there was still baby fat on his face, even smiling slyly as though he had a mischievous countenance. Black hair drowned his shoulders as he let them fall freely while having a portion tied at the back.

Although there was the semblance of naivety, Davis could tell that this person's prowess was higher than it seemed in a single glance.

"I appreciate the offer, but I'll refrain. I'm not your brother either, fellow cultivator."

"Aha. Don't take offense. I was just forming a team. After all, there's no way we rogue cultivators without a background or disciples with ordinary backgrounds would be able to go against them. However, this is an opportunity for us that we can't miss. We can take advantage of the numbers to enter and grab some treasures for ourselves, but of course, for every treasure we take, a part of it would be given to the Zyrus Family in those treasures or immortal crystals, around twenty to thirty percent."

"That's… agreeable." Davis thought it wasn't bad but considering they're the ones risking their lives, it also seemed unfair.

In the end, it's the owner of the site that had a say, and in this case, the owner was Zyrus Family, and twenty to thirty percent tax was truly low in a harsh world.

He certainly didn't expect this of the Zyrus Family, a wicked path power.

In any case, distribution between different powers was always met with unfairness, so he wasn't bothered about it. Instead, he couldn't help but ask.

"So, what kind of treasures are we looking for here?"

"Fellow cultivator, don't tell me you came here without knowing it?" The white-robed man blinked.

"Everyone on my cultivation base was moving here, so I followed them. If I got lucky, I thought I would encounter an elder and acquire some knowledge or get a treasure or two, but who would've thought that there's a secret realm? Now, I'll have to think whether it's worth risking my life."

Davis bullshitted without missing a beat as he rubbed his beardless chin while the white-robed man nodded before a sly smile appeared on his face.

"Want to team up?"

"How about I give you immortal crystals instead?"

"Thousand immortal crystals."

"A bit over the top but a done deal."

Davis exchanged with the white-robed lad and came to know more about the secret realm.

As its name indicated, the Void Dust Secret Realm held spatial-attribute treasures the most. Inside the pocket realm, the land was vast, enough to cover a Province. If that was true, then Davis believed it would be as big as the land held by the Minn Family.

For mortals, to traverse back and forth would take many days.

After all, this secret realm only seemed to be accessible by mortals.

This couldn't help but put a smile on his face because wasn't he practically a king in there?

As he watched the experts proclaiming to be heavenly geniuses enter a cave over to the foot of the mountain, he felt like bursting out into a fit of laughter, even while rolling on the floor. A hundred million immortal crystals couldn't be given to him on a silver platter any easier, making him feel like he didn't have to do any hard work to gain wealth nowadays.

At least, the previous assassinations included planning and ambushing, but this… this was no better than target practice.

"Nadia, retreat somewhere near and wait for me to come out."

"Yes, master~"

Nadia exited through his soul sea. However, she didn't exit his body but instead passed through his meridian pathway and exited through his hand that touched the ground, escaping underground in her small form.

Both Nadias had escaped. At the same time, Davis took a fistful of dirt from the surface that was penetrated by death energy and stored it in his spatial ring, erasing the evidence.

On the other hand, the people who saw him couldn't help but blink, wondering if the white-robed Mo Tian wanted to use the sand to blind others, making them wonder what kind of person he was. Although they wouldn't bother such paltry tricks, certain mortal maneuvers were always used to humiliate many cultivators, and it always worked.

Unknowingly, many people followed his example and swiped the dirt from the ground, feeling rather smug about it as they smiled at each other.

"…"

"Mo Tian, you're rather more wicked than I thought."

"Rayleigh, I'm innocent."

Davis shrugged at the white-robed lad, causing the latter to laugh. However, Davis's gaze was on the Immortal Kings, noticing that they hadn't noticed his actions although they felt the disturbance of the normal cultivators.

It wasn't just the Zyrus Family that had two Immortal Kings. The other powers had also brought Immortal Kings, although only one. Now he knew why Klein Zyrus had two Immortal Kings as bodyguards. One, it was for his protection, and for the other, it was obviously for this gathering. If it was just to protect Klein Zyrus, they wouldn't be assigning him an Immortal King, much less two of them.

Otherwise, it would be a loss of face for them and a detriment to Klein Zyrus's future, not to mention a clear point that would become a disadvantage when Klein Zyrus fought for the right to become the Young Master.

Nonetheless, those Immortal Kings weren't bothered about peasants. Instead, they appeared to look at certain individuals, the ones that were masked or had their features muddled with disguise.

On the other hand, Davis's disguise was primarily natural. Even if they found that he had his features changed, they would only suspect that he had done that to make himself look cooler rather than to disguise himself.

Soon, it was time for the peasants to enter as the Immortal Kings allowed them to enter without giving out any warning. In fact, they disdained to even give a glance towards them.

Thousands of mortal cultivators lined up to enter the secret realm beyond the cave, and Davis could swear that even the weakest of them possessed a prowess that was two levels higher, matching the prowess of the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor of the Grand Beginnings Continent.

'The cultivators here alone could conquer the Grand Beginnings Continent before my presence...'

Davis lampooned, making his way towards the secret realm while mixed in with the crowd.

The narrow passage extended beyond for a few kilometers before a vast space emerged. In this cave, the structure was absent. Instead, the walls looked like a vast space, infinite and unending. However, the cultivators could still feel that there was some limit, and it was finite, making them feel strange.

It was as though space was expanding and contracting, causing them to appear solemn as they tried to understand the mysteries behind it.

However, Davis already understood this mystery with his spatial comprehension as this was the basic comprehension to open spatial tunnels and exit at a distance. He slightly glanced at Rayleigh and saw that he also didn't bother with it.

Without waiting at the entrance, they entered the spatial vortex that was spiraling at the center, disappearing into it.

*Zoom!~*

Davis only felt his body being moved as though he was displaced from one position to another, slowly landing as he placed his foot on a new area.

The first thing he noticed was the dense heaven and earth energy of spatial nature. Moreover, it was not daytime in the skies, or rather, the sun didn't seem to exist here from what he could see. However, it wasn't dark either. Instead, there were numerous distant stars, tiny enough not to be called a sun. They illuminated this vast space like a moon would, giving off starlight.

'Oh? My prowess is suppressed here?'

The next second, he felt some pressure when circulating his martial energy inside his body, making him feel astonished. It felt constricted because of the spatial heaven and earth energy that filled the region.

It was the first time his prowess was suppressed and not the other way around, causing him to feel some irony over it.

Regardless, he wasn't willing to go all aggressive and reveal himself to be Davis Loret. Right now, he was acting as Mo Tian, the rich young master of some family but was also a disguise for an outer disciple of the Ghost Tear Hall, Dead End.

Therefore, there was no need to use his full prowess.

"What's this!? This was not relayed when we stood outside. How could you all do this to us when we're already..."

But suddenly, he heard a commotion occurring towards the very front, making the people behind curious, including Davis.
