Chapter 1804: Scouring The Land
Chapter 1804: Scouring The Land
“What’s this…?”
Fiora suddenly appeared beside him after acting like chastising Mo Mingzhi, only to find a jade container in his hands. Davis had just opened the jade container and saw the cherry-like fruit, which had the marking of a kirin brightly shining as she finished reading, causing her eyes to go wide.
“Yay!” Fiora excitedly jumped, “With this, husband can become more powerful!”
Those who didn’t cultivate like Yotan and Natalya were shaken by the commotion, wondering what was happening. Clearly, Davis must have found something unique. However, they didn’t dare to listen, afraid that they might be berated while, on the other hand, Natalya remained silent as she helped Iesha cultivate.
“Fiora, be wise.”
Davis spoke as he didn’t smile, causing Fiora to think that she was being told to shut up as she closed her mouth. However, looking at his gesture, she saw the writing on the jade container.
She read it, again and again, four times before she found the discrepancy.
“…!”
“Indeed.” Davis nodded once he saw Fiora flinch, “Last time I checked, eating fruits doesn’t tell you how to find a way to a place and although it is possible for a fruit’s spirit to imbue you, I find no life in this fruit. I’m not eating a fruit that’s been tampered by an immortal-level or a near-immortal level character.”
“Hehe, I was just purely happy for you, sorry…”
Fiora felt ridiculous to have made a mistake. She didn’t want to appear like a fool in front of him.
“There’s nothing to apologize for.” Davis shook his head.
“You’re still growing, and I’m making progress in learning the many traps of the world. It is not possible for me to see through it all, but with the concept of bloodline suppression, I am clear that this man or woman wants to suppress the immortals who come after them. Whoever is the owner of this tomb clearly has the true essence blood, which allows them to suppress people of lesser blood, and this tampering with the fruit possibly comes with an additional factor that further increases this aspect.”
“This is aimed at people like you, those who know little and would think that they lucked out. But still, I could be wrong, and this fruit hadn’t tampered with such intentions, but I still don’t want to take a chance.”
A sly grin emerged on Davis’s lips.
“Now that we know that there’s possibly a tomb somewhere in this fiery land, all I have to do is find it.”
“But how…? This is a Mid-Sized Territory… Even if we want to look for it, it will take many years to scour the lands with utter focus and find something of peculiarity, not to mention that we would be distracted by so many things like interference from spirits or treasures we found on the way…”
Looking at Fiora making a wise guess, Davis nodded with praise before he turned to look at Niera.
He brought the jade container near to her as he bent beside her when he saw her eyelids quiver ever so lightly before she opened her eyes and turned to look at him.
“As I thought, the mark that the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin placed on me is receptive to its aura. Perhaps, I can somehow use this to my advantage…?”
Niera had a confused expression on her face wondering why he held a jade container in front of her. She felt a strange sense of familiarity with it.
Was he giving her this as a gift too? But it didn’t seem like that as she heard his words.
“Niera, give me the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin’s soul mark.”
“Ah, yes~”
Niera instantly understood and didn’t hesitate to give it back to him.
It was the mark they used to pass the sealed lightning space safely. After Davis almost died, she had been keeping it to open the sealed lightning space so that she could get her people out, which she did, so she found no use to keep it anymore with her and felt that she should’ve returned it sooner to him and finally had the opportunity to do so.
“Now then, before that immortal left, he or she should’ve only been a near-immortal existence. If that’s the case, they must have set up their wicked plan using the resources from their Immortal Inheritance. Since the tomb should be built using the Immortal Inheritance, I should be able to find it with this mark somehow…”
As Davis held the image of a kirin in his palm, he threw it back into his soul sea and began using his soul sense to see if he could find anything near a twenty thousand kilometer radius. Almost quickly, he met with numerous experts and even came across what seemed to be a city of fire-attributed spirits ruled by Inferno Spirit Chamber, the Purgatory Inferno Flame Spirits at the edge of his soul sense.
He avoided their location as he knew that their Emperor or some other Spirit Ancestor who was powerful could sense his seamless soul sense and continued on with searching for even the slight familiarity he could find.
As time passed, his soul sense scoured the lands with a bit of focus, concentrating on a particular area before moving on in all directions.
Suddenly, Davis’s eyes went wide.
“Did you find it?”
Fiora looked at him with curious eyes, but he shook his head.
“No, my soul sense got found and traced back.”
“What!?”
Fiora and the others became dumbfounded.
There was someone as powerful as their husband here?
“It’s a Ravaging Crimson Star Spirit. See you later, I might have to go stop him, or if he comes here, I’m sure that I can’t protect you all while just using my normal techniques.”
*Whoosh!~*
With a sonic boom, Davis disappeared from the location, leaving the women under Eldia’s protection.
They looked dumbfounded before their expressions became severe, looking out for any enemies as they entered battle positions. Since Davis did not tell them to run, Yotan and Bylai Zlatan didn’t think otherwise and started to place defensive formations around.
Davis shot through the dusky skies of this fiery land and traveled thousands of kilometers before he encountered a lonesome spirit who had a decrepit smile on his face.
They both came to a stop and sized each other with cautious eyes.
Dark red crimson flames flowed over his hair while his skin also appeared dark red underneath the golden robe. There was the symbol of a star on his forehead, shining with a crimson gleam, making him appear regal yet quite handsome.
Davis gazed at the Ravaging Crimson Star Spirit before he spoke.
“Spirit Ancestor. It’s just a misunderstanding…”
“Ahaha. You spy on me and say that it’s a misunderstanding?”
The Ravaging Crimson Star Spirit appeared to have become amused.
“Clearly, you’re from the Renegade Human Shelter as you’re with a bunch of human women who won’t dare step into these lands without an agenda. Your leader Tiran is the only one I know who recently became strong as us, but it’s surprising to see that the Renegade Human Shelter hid a human like you all this time.”
“However, it’s also surprising to see a Frigid Ice World Spirit mingle with you humans. I don’t care for what you have planned but hand over the ice spirit, and I’ll call it even and forget this ever occurred.”
Davis pursed his lips. He really wanted to search for the tomb and obtain Blazing Thunderlight Kirin’s Blood Essence, but it seems like he could only postpone it after this.
“Why do you have to court death like this?” Davis felt exasperated, “Is there any reason you fire spirits are so fixated on ice spirits?”
“Ahaha? What is this question? Well, since you’re not a fire spirit, I guess I’ll tell you. What other greater pleasure is there when a fire spirit like me holds an ice spirit intimately and melts her to death while obtaining her yin to boost my yang?”
The Ravaging Crimson Star Spirit licked his lips, “Not only me, but all fire spirits who experienced an ice spirit’s body also crave that feeling again. And when there is an imperial spirit like a Frigid World Spirit ripe for the taking, which fire spirit can resist? Now obediently send her to me. After all, I went as far as to explain, and you clearly do not want to fight me. We both know we’ll suffer losses even if there’s a Peak-Level Ninth Stage Lightning Elemental guarding your people, so-“
“I was hesitant about another thing, though. Get ready to die since you seek death. You were also one of my original targets anyway.”
Davis’s lips curved, but it was not a smile but a smirk of looking at a dead man.
“Haha, as expected. It was not a misunderstanding.”
Intense flames began to emerge out from the body of the Ravaging Crimson Star Spirit, making him appear like a ruler of the infernal world. His prowess that stayed calm erupted, becoming powerful as Davis, perhaps even more!
