Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1673 - Pure Of Heart?

Chapter 1673 - Pure Of Heart?

Davis’s eyes that were closed during the conversation with the All-Seeing Emperor abruptly opened.

No one knew that he just abruptly had some inspiration that made formations easier to comprehend. Previously, the patterns and positions he found confusing and not understandable, he was able to look at them and digest with greater understanding, becoming proficient in deciphering them better.

Now, he knew that if he were to try to digest the knowledge of formations from his memories, he instinctively knew that he would successfully comprehend them.

’So mysterious yet profound... Just imagining and pondering over such vague and obscure lines, including their positions gave me numerous insights...’

Davis was full of praise before he raised his head and stared at the one-eyed All-Seeing Emperor.

"I see, so no one managed to enter the Spirit Territories then?"

"No, it’s not like that. There’s one way to enter, where the barrier is the weakest but in that place, the amount of Spirit Ancestors there, guarding the place is crazy, like there are hundreds of them gathered there."

"Ninth Stage Powerhouses, right?"

Davis’s lips twitched while the All-Seeing Emperor heavily nodded.

"Indeed, Spirit Ancestors are Ninth Stage Powerhouses. Some of them wouldn’t even hesitate to detonate their spirit core, which is in their spirit sea, in the place where we have our soul sea, to take us out if magical beasts or we ever were to invade, and they are on the losing side. If I recall correctly, it is pretty similar to what your eminence’s people in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm did, guarding the entrance with their lives."

’The Guardian Alliance that I scrapped...’ Davis wryly chuckled as he thought, ’Well, they were people who didn’t deserve the glory of their ancestors. After all, they defended only with the help of the formations their ancestors left behind and had the audacity to let spirit stones die out, making those formations almost useless. Greedy fellows...’

"So you’re saying that if one wants to enter the Sealed Land of the Spirits, they only have that entrance to get through?"

"Yes," The All-Seeing Emperor heavily nodded again, "There is no other way, even to me, I swear. I have no reason to hide suc-"

"Alright, alright, what else do you know about the Sealed Lands of the Spirits?" Davis interrupted as he asked.

"We had captured some spirits and came to know the latest names of the Spirit Territories hundred thousand years ago when a few Spirit Supremes, Eighth Stage Spirits exited the barrier through the Twilight Shade Valley whereafter they were then pursued by the Blood Pledge Villa and the Three-Eyed White Serpent Empire for a few years before they entered the righteous path Territories, where the Falling Snow Sect’s Founder, Halina Snow befriended those spirits somehow and granted them asylum out of the kindness in her heart. There was a male Nethersnow Spirit and many other female Nethersnow Spirits in their group, so they later became a flourishing clan under the protection of the Falling Snow Sect."

"Later, we tried to search for an entrance in the Twilight Shade Valley, but it was of no use. We couldn’t find how they entered and had to abandon the search because of the magical beasts and wicked path powers claiming the Twilight Shade Valley Territory as theirs. Even they searched, but it seems like they couldn’t find such an entrance as though it was created out of thin air."

Davis’s heart shook when he heard it.

However... to hear that Nethersnow Spirits became a big clan.

Was this considered... incest between spirits?

He knew that spirit races became capable of procreation through their decision to become a Spiritual Mortal through heavenly tribulation. Therefore, they are able to reproduce members of their own spirit race as long as they could find another member of their race or similar element, although he didn’t know if a mix between two spirits of different or opposing elements was possible.

Nevertheless, the Nethersnow Spirits could not have become a big spirit clan in the Falling Snow Sect if they did not engage in it, and their blood, no, spiritline also didn’t seem to have faded in these past hundred thousand years, staying rather strong.

Is this their natural way of procreation? He couldn’t tell.

Moreover, the Alstreim Family’s Founder was said to have carried half-spirit blood, although he wasn’t a half-spirit and a half-human. It was just, his own ancestor of many generations above was a half wind spirit and half-human, meaning that it was even possible for humans and spirits to procreate with each other, although only through becoming an Immortal is such a thing is possible.

Still, this told him that immortal spirits could also look for humans and maybe even magical beasts to procreate.

"Alright, tell me the names of those Territories occupied by Spirits..."

"They are..."

The All-Seeing Emperor’s big eye blinked as his lips moved.

=======

Davis looked at the kneeling, icy white-skinned beauty in front of him. In his eyes, she appeared like a snow fairy with a crown on her head adorning both behind her ears, almost like a fey if he considered that they appeared human-like.

He reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist, which was icy to the touch. Her snow-white cleavage shook in front of him as she was raised from her knees by him whereupon her white pupils matched his gaze, making her tremble.

"Iesha, if you’re not going to cooperate, fine. However, don’t blame me if I end up killing them to silence them and force you to become my slave."

Davis bluffed as he reached his other hand behind, only to lift up the seven ice fairies who were fainted into the air. The air around them began to compress as if it was going to crush them to death.

"...!"

Iesha’s body shuddered as she saw this scene. She perfectly perceived that none of them could match against this human named Davis Loret. They were all helpless, that she knew that he could kill them all without even having to move his finger.

"Wait...! I- I’ll cooperate!"

Iesha squealed as her pleading voice echoed out, but on the other hand, Davis expected this to happen, and he was glad that she didn’t see through his bluff. Nevertheless, his expression that was cold became colder.

"Truly?"

"I..." Iesha’s eyes shook as she gazed at the other spirits before returning her gaze to Davis, "I swear. As long as you don’t lay a hand on them, I’ll cooperate."

Her white pupils shone with determination. Although Davis felt like bullying as he knew that he was the one in the wrong, he felt like he had to do this or kill many spirits.

As long as these female spirits kept quiet, he felt like he could safely escape through the other two spatial tunnels that were connected to Earth.

Yes, from All-Seeing Emperor’s words, he learned of the other Spirit Territories and more or less knew where to head to. The world covered with vegetation was the Wood Spirit Palace Territory, and the world encased in magma and flames was the Inferno Spirit Chamber Territory, and they fit with his worldview of the lines where the spatial tunnels connected.

The Wood Spirit Palace Territory was directly opposite to the Poison Lord Villa Territory, and the Inferno Spirit Chamber Territory was undeviatingly opposite to the Twilight Shade Valley, forming a formation series by itself.

From All-Seeing Emperor’s words, he knew that the Frigid World Spirit Empire was the northernmost Territory, making it so that he knew where to go.

He didn’t even need to interrogate these female spirits to escape but just wanted them to remain silent.

He could explain kindly, but then they would come to know that this Frigid Yin Spirit Pool is a spawning point that possessed a spatial tunnel and directly blocked it. He didn’t want his escape routes blocked or hidden paths removed, certainly not.

"I understand. As long as you don’t do anything funny, I won’t kill them. But for the time being, I’ll enslave them in order to keep them from doing anything funny."

"Wait...! Didn’t I say that I am willing to cooperate!?"

"I will."

Davis smirked, but Iesha suddenly snapped.

"You lowly human! You cannot enslave them!"

"You’re looking down on me now...?"

Davis became inwardly flabbergasted, but considering the state of the Spirit Territories, he didn’t bicker nor lecture. Furthermore, as he saw Iesha react as if she had said something she shouldn’t have, her expression becoming paler than her icy-white face, he couldn’t help but crack a twisted smile that both looked awkward and terrorizing.

"I... Please... leave them alone. I’m willing to accept your slave seal..."

Davis’s cold expression faded.

He even went as far as to activate his Heart Intent to check if she was truly a caring person, only to learn that her heart cried out to them as though she looked after them like they were her own sisters.

Such pure heart... he couldn’t help but release her wrist as he let her go.

The suppression also faded while Iesha lost her balance and knelt again, holding her wrist that became slightly red from his hold while looking at him with glazed eyes that were almost brimming with tears.
