Divine Emperor of Death

Davis instantly felt angry but also simultaneously calmed down and knew that it shouldn't be the case.

That madwoman in Ellia likely wouldn't have revealed anything since Ellia would've not let her do something like that, at least if the latter still existed.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Tripartite Alliance set up an entire perimeter in front of the independent spatial gateway?

Davis's eyes were downcast, thinking if Ellia's consciousness were to be swallowed by her previous incarnation, he inwardly swore that he would have the previous incarnation's soul tortured till it fades away from existence.

As for the detection formation, they had to detect them through the life force, which is another term for vitality as far as he knew in the knowledge of cultivation. He felt it unlikely to be different and even if it did, he garnered there wouldn't be much difference.

Nevertheless, what happened to Ellia and Princess Shirley after they fought and decimated the patrol team of the Tripartite Alliance three years ago?

"Are the two female figures caught?" Davis asked with a calm expression on his face. Nevertheless, his worried tone betrayed his calm facade.

Beside him, Evelynn noticed his tone and glanced at him through the corner of her eyes before looking back at Elder Valoi. She didn't say anything.

"No, they have escaped."

"How?"

"The moment they decimated the patrol team, they mysteriously vanished."

Davis blinked. He had a vague guess that it should be that madwoman inside Ellia who had the ability to disappear like that.

He knew she had a strong Soul Forging Cultivation and with the passage of time, he garnered that she should be more or slightly stronger than him.

"Where are they then?"

Elder Valoi remained silent. His face remained blank and dull.

It could be seen that he didn't have the answer to his question.

Davis inwardly understood and asked why the oasis was left intact in the Desolate Plains.

"The tiny oasis in the Desolate Plains is formed from the essence energy of the two female figures."

"It was left intact to let a Mystic Diviner track the location of the two female figures."

Davis became shocked while Evelynn became confused.

Mystic Diviner?

He had heard about it from Old Man Garvin but it was just a tiny introduction.

Old Man Garvin once said that he did not believe in the concept of divining in his early years until he had met a Mystic Diviner after he had become a Supreme Soul Stage Cultivator in his prime. 

The reason for Old Man Garvin's disbelief was because there were a lot of scammers who cheated people claiming that they were Mystic Diviners. It was especially the case in his early life, giving him a pre-conceived notion that Mystic Diviners were fake.

In the cultivation world, one's prime didn't refer to one's youth but their glory days, so it could be seen the time when Old Man Garvin had contact with a Mystic Diviner is in his later years. 

Apparently, it is a branch of profession deriving from those who have slightly fused the laws of Karma, Space and Time. They have the mystical ability to divine one's history or future prospects as long as they possess a medium.

After explaining this, Old Man Garvin only left him with a few words of caution and didn't bother to explain much about Mystic Diviners.

"Don't offend them."

'No wonder they preserved the oasis without destroying it...'

Davis closed his slightly agape mouth and quickly asked, "Did the Mystic Diviner divine the location of the two women?"

"It was a failure. However, the Mystic Diviner managed to divine that they had headed east."

Davis narrowed his eyes. 

East? That's the direction that leads to Falling Snow Sect Territory...

Could it be...

He bit his lips and thought for a short moment before asking, "Where do you think those two female figures have gone?"

"They have likely escaped to the Falling Snow Sect Territory."

Davis nodded his head to Elder Valoi's opinion. However, he went one step ahead with his guess.

'They must have left the Falling Snow Sect Territory too...'

"Did the Mystic Diviner follow them to the Falling Snow Sect Territory?"

Elder Valoi didn't reply.

It could be seen that he did not know the answer to this question.

"Who is the Mystic Diviner?" Davis's killing intent soared at the same time.

He had wanted to kill the person so he could let Ellia and Princess Shirley escape. Although their relationships were a mess, he didn't want them to get caught.

Nevertheless, Elder Valoi still didn't answer again.

Davis closed his eyes and exhaled a bit of breath. Looks like the Mystic Diviner's identity was kept a secret.

The Mystic Diviner's identity being kept secret was understandable. After all, it was a profession that could indirectly find people's weaknesses. Hence, the more the Mystic Diviner is sought out by the people of the cultivation world, the more the Mystic Diviner would be ostracized by people with secrets.

Beside him, Evelynn turned a little worried. She moved her hand to hold his but ultimately retracted.

Davis pondered over this matter as he stroked his jaw.

The Mystic Diviner had followed Ellia and Princess Shirley to Falling Snow Sect Territory? If that is the case, then he believed that the madwoman in Ellia could take care of this matter.

As far as he knew, the 'Ellia' who had undergone a transformation could no longer be considered a common cultivator.

She was like him, an anomaly, having memories of two 'lifetimes' except for his knowledge on cultivation could be said to be zero when compared with Ellia's previous incarnation.

With how pompous and arrogant she behaved, he could guess that she was at least at the Ninth Stage in her previous life.

Ironically feeling relieved that she would be safe, he opened his eyes and asked.

"What do you know about the dark speck of light in the sky?"

"It appeared over the skies one and a half months ago."

"The dark speck of light is divined by the Heaven Gazing Sect to be an ominous sign and the matter was publically announced after the day it appeared."

"The news spread to all the territories in a matter of days, spreading chaos all over the world."

One and a half months ago... Heaven Gazing Sect... Chaos...

Davis noticed the key points and pondered over the matter.

One and a half months ago...

'Did I do anything at that time? That... is the time I entered seclusion...'

'Could it be related to my breakthrough? But I didn't feel anything dangerous or strange after my breakthrough...'

'So this matter has nothing to do with me?'

Davis inwardly relaxed once he considered the possibilities. He had an inkling whether if this matter related to him or not.

There were certain reasons for his doubt.

One, he could actually sense vague danger from it, unlike the others.

Two, he believed he had the most important treasure here in this world which was none other than Fallen Heaven.

The first point could be attributed to Fallen Heaven's senses subconsciously warning him.

However, even after the dark speck of light in the sky appeared, the mysterious entity which sealed Fallen Heaven over an unknown number of years ago still didn't appear.

This indicated that the dark speck of light in the sky didn't relate to him, at least in a direct manner.
