Chapter 1787: Sending Them

Davis shortly left the scene after frolicking with his women. He returned to his quarters and began cultivating his soul as he started to refine the soul essences he obtained.

Starting from his first kill, the Spatial Blight Emperor, he had obtained a lot of souls, most of the King Soul Stage Soul Essences, like in the thousands, but as for Supreme Soul Stage and Mature Soul Stage Soul Essences, he didn’t bother to collect them.

Out of the vast number of experts and powerhouses he killed, he collected 2,351 King Soul Stage Soul Essences, most of them at Low-Level and a few at Peak-Level. Very few were at Emperor Soul Stage, only thirteen of them, and not even the Spatial Blight Emperor was a Soul Emperor as Davis felt that he probably lacked the cultivation method.

However, the other three hegemons, Blood World Emperor, Deprived Soulstir Emperor, and Infernal Lightning Emperor, were all Emperor Soul Stage Powerhouses, but they were only at Mid-Level. And their Ancestor-level characters were at Low-Level Emperor Soul Stage, causing them to be only a few.

Davis knew this was because the Soul Forging Cultivation Manual they possessed was only leading up to High-Level Emperor Grade, allowing them to reach Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage.

If it were not the case, they might’ve progressed more with how they tended to accumulate resources and solely use it for themselves, as proven by the number of King Soul Stage Experts they had, although he did see a minor exception like the Infernal Lightning Emperor, who slightly thought more of the future of his power and family than the others, but considering that he adopted an imperial system, Davis understood why, not to mention that being a part of wicked path truly meant ‘living however you wanted, doing whatever you wanted to do, even if it is through administering the vilest possible action.’.

Davis felt that his mindset truly resonated with that statement, but he was also reluctant to stain his hand in evil unless he had a valid reason to do so.

While Davis thought of these things, he quickly refined the soul essences in half an hour, causing him to blink when he opened his eyes.

‘Damn, I’m already too powerful that these souls have become almost useless to me…’

He had only experienced a slight increase to his soul quality, which certainly didn’t bring him any closer to Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage than he already was, which made him inwardly cry.

To acquire further increase, Davis knew that he would have to hunt down a minimum of Peak-Level Ninth Stage Soul Essences that’s at least one level higher in prowess, but where could he go find such souls?

The only way he could see himself obtaining such kind of soul essences was to ascend.

Even the Vast Sky Emperor on his kill list didn’t reach that mark for him to quickly take action, although his death date was already scheduled, preferably after the Nine Western Territories Young Expert competition where his life wouldn’t be needed anymore.

Heaving a sigh, he went back to Clara and Tia, comprehending Spatial Laws along with them with the help of the space-bending aura of the Spatial-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source.

Half a day later, his little sister Diana and little brother Edward visited him, both of them appearing to be happy to see him once in a while.

Feeling that he had neglected them for quite a while, he talked with him and taught them his concepts for living a fulfilling life; the same one had taught Clara but also made it clear as he clearly told them that it may or may not apply to them, depending on how they lived their lives.

Tia also listened while he told them to take his advice with a pinch of salt.

However, they were all equally serious in listening to him, for none other than the fact that they were their brother, life savior, or a dignified individual who made it to the top of their current world in the shortest time possible that they possessed immense respect for him in their hearts, especially Edward who looked at Davis as though he was his goal.

Davis then took them to practice their battle skills which weren’t on par with him. Clara and Tia also took part, willing to undergo this grueling session. For the first few hours, he patiently taught them many things from soul cultivation to increasing battle awareness, and when they practiced for some time before conducting a four against one, he finally ended up beating them easily that they had to throw in the towel or the fiery training would continue.

Fortunately, he had held back a lot, suppressing his Body Tempering Cultivation to their level, so they suffered little to no injuries.

Nevertheless, Clara admitted that she was weaker in close combat as she focused on ranged attacks. Tia fared better than anyone expected, while Diana and Edward did fairly better but not up to par as they seemed to rely on soft force, although their battle awareness was more than the others, including himself, leaving him surprised.

Still, it was just that they couldn’t keep up with his speed as their reactions were slow despite having a solid overview of their battle.

Nevertheless, Davis wondered if this was because these two little siblings of his always fought against each other and competed but still, the reason didn’t matter as he felt joyful that they were making immense progress in their skills as well as their cultivation.

He also gave Diana and Edward a lot of wealth to squander on, spoiling them with quarter-million Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments each but also warning them that they shouldn’t use excessively on things that aren’t good for them, especially looking at Edward and warning him not to fall for women like him unless he is willing to carry many burdens, iterating to him that it was not the women who were burdens but the responsibilities a man has towards them that becomes the burden.

The two little siblings were intensely moved by his actions that they shed tears and thanked him and Davis became satisfied with just that. They were his siblings, and he did not expect anything from them other than wanting them to live a good life. He had also thought about treating his half-siblings well, for he could not be a hypocrite and tell his own children later to take care of their half-siblings as well.

However, his half-siblings were already beginning to rule the Loret Empire in their stead, with Ernest appearing to become the Loret Emperor after earning Logan’s approval, Timi secretly becoming stronger than Ernest with his help when he last stayed in the Loret Empire, so it could be said that he was already fairly looking after them.

Nevertheless, since he was only had relations with the two of them more, the others were not his concern but Ernest and Timi’s.

Now that his first child from Shirley was on the way, as well as Isabella’s, he truly began to think about his little empire and wanted his children to look after each other, even if they were half-siblings. Well, even if they are not caring, he at least didn’t want them to kill nor scheme against each other for resources as it happens in every power, although he felt that his thoughts were quite unrealistic unless…

‘Maybe I should build a monument and carve my own version of ten commandments or something…’

Davis couldn’t help but laugh at these thoughts, but as the Patriarch or the Emperor of his little empire, he felt that he deserved to make his own rules. The valiant and cool statue of him outside built by Bylai Zlatan didn’t help much as it only served to increase his arrogance instead of humbling him.

Still, after having fun with his siblings and little aunt, he went back to comprehending Spatial Laws before two days later, the time finally came where the Heaven Mandate Temple and Heaven Gazing Sect formally arrived with an entourage to bring them away.

Davis met with the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor and made small talk with them. As for the two protectors he assigned to Clara and Tia, they were none other than Eldia and Isabella’s soul body.

Since it was only for a month or so until the competition took place, Isabella stepped forward, but she also requested access to their structure of knowledge, to which they nodded and gave her limited access before she invited Davis as well, making him feel proud of her wits.

Davis also felt tempted and let his avatar go to the Heaven Mandate Temple during this time and made Eldia stay since he felt that he would require her help to increase his Lightning Law Intent.

Furthermore, he imposed an extra condition that the Vast Sky Emperor shouldn’t be within a hundred-kilometer radius near to his precious Clara and Tia, or else, he made sure to emphasize that there would be a reckoning for their sects as well as for the Vast Sky Emperor, and considering the fact that Emperor of Death killed four wicked path hegemons in their own space like it was nothing, the entourage could only keep the shuddering within as they nodded their heads.

Even the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor increasingly felt that their era was already over. If this young man decided to stay, then they knew that they could say goodbye to their righteous path rule.

Soon, Davis and Isabella’s avatar left with the entourage while the next day, the Purple Guest Palace had become more decorated and looked magnificent as radiant lanterns hung all over the place amidst the darkening skies, becoming a day of importance for a certain someone as it was the day of their marriage.
