Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 514 Passing The Territory Gate

As time passed by, the queue gradually lessened and it was finally their turn to purchase the tokens, but there came the problem!

"Remove your masks, let us verify that you people are people who are not wanted by the Tripartite Alliance." A person spoke monotonously as if he had said these words plenty of times.

He stood there with a languid look on his face, urging the other party to be quick with his eyes.

A few meters away from him to the right, were some members of the Tripartite Alliance, sitting on some chairs as they yawned. Some cast a look over to Davis’s entourage while some other cultivated as if they weren’t bothered about the crowd.

’Sixth Stage Cultivators...’ Davis silently mused and waved his hand.

A token plate appeared in his hand which he then displayed to the person who told him to remove his mask.

[Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemist]

Davis held the token and flipped to display the rear of the token which had the words [Thousand Pills Association] inscribed. The person’s brows slightly lifted up and he then shot a look towards the other Sixth Stage Cultivators to the side.

One of them stood up and slowly walked to their side before verifying that the token plate was not forged with a few known means. He then nodded his head at the person and looked over to people behind Davis, however, he did not gaze intently and moved back to his position in quick steps at if he could not wait to laze around.

Behind the mask, Davis’s lips curved into a grin as he knew that the Misdirection he cast on the Sixth Stage Cultivator worked.

Otherwise, there was a chance that the person would’ve asked who were all the people who were behind him, leading to an awkward situation.

Of course, he could just work his way out by giving out various reasons, but suspicion would be more or less cast over his group.

And as expected, the person in charge of handing out the tokens glanced at the people behind Davis before glancing at the Sixth Stage Cultivator, wondering why that person did not choose to check the people behind the Alchemist.

At this time, Davis cast Misdirection on the person in charge of the inspection and made him think that the queue should be relieved as soon as possible.

That person with a Fifth Stage Cultivation didn’t even wonder why he suddenly thought of the matter like that and asked, "How many tokens does Esteemed Alchemist need?"

"Twenty-two..." Davis answered and indeed his group held twenty-two people including him.

Evelynn, Claire, Logan, Princess Isabella, Jackson Lars, Katrine Blackwell, Imryll Berilan, Mulia, Hadian, Uncle Erik, Ophelia, Sasha, Haus, Daniuis, Lucas, Lucia, Nina, Su Hualing, Su Huabing, Su Huajing, and Su Hualing’s child.

From their initial five to twenty-two people. Even he didn’t expect that his trip to the Alstreim Family Territory would be this hectic.

Maybe if Ellia and Shirley didn’t make a mess in the Desolate Plains, he would’ve been able to quickly arrive at the Alstreim Family Territory along with his initial five-member group.

However, if Shirley and Ellia didn’t create that mess, he wouldn’t have had a chance to meet his aunt Lucia and save her family from the clutches of the Tripartite Alliance.

Davis had some inkling to this phenomenon, wondering if it was the working of fate.

The way he thought, if Karma Laws existed, then why can’t laws governing fate can’t exist? Perhaps, even laws governing destiny existed but cannot be comprehended.

Nevertheless, this was such a silly thought that it made him inwardly laugh and even if Fate Laws and Destiny Laws existed, he garnered that it would be in the control of the heavens.

As for why he was sure that there was the presence of the heavens, it was because Fallen Heaven had spoken so in the past. It even said that the underworld doesn’t exist.

Only the cycle of reincarnation that cleaned out the souls of a person to reincarnate them existed and that too was in the control of the heavens according to Fallen Heaven.

When Davis thought about it, it really made sense.

The ’heavens’ was not like a god, who can only display his or her grand character by defeating evil and saving people. As far as he heard, the ’heavens’ was a neutral kind of presence that reigned over the entire cultivation universe.

At least, that was what he heard from Fallen Heaven when he used one of his chances to inquire about the heavens.

By this time, another person exited from the compartment and had 22 green tokens in his hand, placing it on the table before heading inside.

The person who spoke to them opened his mouth, "That would be 22 Mid-Level Spirit Stones or double the amount of Low-Level Spirit Stones."

"44,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones if you’re paying with the latter."

Davis unhesitatingly took 44,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones out of his spatial ring and exchanged it for the twenty-two tokens which were only useful for making one cross the territory gates.

He pursed his lips and thought how much they would be earning each day but couldn’t put a finger on it but he did feel that their expenditure would also be enormous, enough to not give them an enormous amount of profit.

Even if they profited enormously, it did nothing to the higher stage experts of the Alstreim Family since Low-Level Spirit Stones would only be helpful for Fifth Stage and lower stage cultivators.

Mid-Level Spirit Stones were helpful to Sixth Stage Cultivators.

For this reason, it’s exchange rate could range from anywhere between 1:1,000 to 1:3,000.

Meaning, for one Mid-Level Spirit Stone, it could be exchanged for up to 3,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones depending upon the demand.

It might be even more when Mid-Level Spirit Stones turns scarce, and it’s the same for High-Level Spirit Stones, just even more expensive.

Davis also paid with Low-Level Spirit Stones to be normal.

As a Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemist, it would be a little bit suspicious to see him squandering 22 Mid-Level Spirit Stones instead of using Low-Level Spirit Stones.

For this reason, combined with millions of Low-Level Spirit Stones he had, he didn’t bother losing much and just paid with Low-Level Spirit Stones instead of paying with Mid-Level Spirit Stones.

His group was then let into the huge gate which let people, carriages or flying boats enter the inner region of the territory gate. From there, they would have to walk out fly a few kilometers and get to the core region and enter the Territory Gate.

Davis’s group choose to fly and they quickly arrived at the core region.

When they saw the towering territory gate, they were all flabbergasted and the sense of awe in them only increased.

Davis took a step forward and walked through the translucent Territory Gate, followed by the others. As they walked through the territory gate, they didn’t feel much other than a heavy pressure weighing on them.

However, the pressure was equal to all, regardless of the cultivation base they were at. This was common knowledge to people who frequently entered territory gates but to Davis and the ones who hadn’t experienced traveling through the gates, it came as a shock!

Even Princess Isabella who had the toughest body and physical might despite her frail build was slightly trembling from the pressure, her eyes displaying a shocked expression!
