Divine Emperor of Death

Like the previous King Grade Formation, there was also another King Grade Defensive Formation that was at Low-Level, able to defend against the attacks of the Low-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators.

Cultivators who were in the Seventh Stage included cultivators in all Cultivation Systems such as the Law Dominion Stage Cultivators, Martial Master Stage Cultivators and Supreme Soul Stage Cultivators.

Each represented one of the three Cultivation Systems respectively.

And since these three cultivation stages were all considered to be a part of Seventh Stage, then this Low-Level King Grade Formation could withstand the attacks of such cultivators.

Of course, these formations were all built within the residence and that's why people who own the residence will not be able to change the formations but only purchase new formations and disable the existing ones.

But to change the inbuilt formations, they would have to purchase a high-level residence.

This essentially formed a "To have better built-in security, purchase a higher level residence." concept and engraved it to be the norm in the mind of the people who were present in this city.

Nevertheless, they could still purchase different types of formations from formation stores and set it up by themselves but that should not overlap with the already active formations.

Otherwise, it would be a cause for unintended disasters.

One such example is for an offensive formation and defensive formation to treat each other as threats and continuously deplete each other's energy.

Although these cases were unheard of to Davis and the others, there might be existing cases in some other regions.

With all of them being satisfied by the residence, especially Davis, Princess Isabella bought the residence for 40,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones in her name, with it essentially belonging to her for over 100 years.

If she wanted, she could evict them all out of the residence.

However, Davis knew that she would not be able to do a shameless and devious act like that, hence, he didn't bother much about it.

Although the residence only belonged to them for a hundred years, they could extend that for another 100 years by just paying ten percent of the full cost of the residence.

Princess Isabella can do it repeatedly for the upcoming centuries and own this small-sized residence for thousands of years, at least, if she were to live that long and the wealth to pay for it.

Nevertheless, after the transaction, Princess Isabella gave her word that she would return the residence to Davis's name once he is eligible or pay the necessary wealth to him if she had come to like the residence in the future.

Davis just nodded his head to her words.

To own a residence here in the second level, one has to be at the Seventh Stage, hence Davis is not eligible, at least, not now.

With there being so many residences spread out in the eight regions of the second level, one could imagine the number of Seventh Stage Cultivators staying just in this Empire.

Of course, it also has to do with experts congregating to a place where they can settle down and led their lives peacefully. One wouldn't find a Seventh Stage Expert every time they randomly looked at a person.

They were all Family Heads and Elders in this second level but the number of families, sects and other organizations existing within this place are sure to be more than a hundred.

That spoke volumes of the number of Seventh Stage Experts existing within the city.

In the Tripartite Alliance Territory, one of the King Grade Powers, the Royal Xuan Empire merely had less than five Seventh Stage Cultivators within their ranks.

Compared to the Royal Xuan Empire, the second level of the Ethren Empire's Capital City had hundreds of more Seventh Stage Cultivators.

A month later.

During this month, Daniuis had successfully achieved a breakthrough to the Law Dominion Stage, making a recovery to the Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage as Davis expected.

Davis also had a breakthrough in his Soul Forging Cultivation, breaking into the Mid-Level Mature Soul Stage.

It had been so many years since he stayed in the Low-Level Mature Soul Stage. He didn't refine the soul essences of any others to achieve a breakthrough.

With him comprehending and resonating his soul with heaven and earth energy from time to time in these 4 years, along with the teaching of Old Man Garvin, it became inevitable that he would break through to the next level.

With his powerful soul force that could barely compare to Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator, it became even more, easier for him to naturally breakthrough.

Evelynn had also experienced a breakthrough to the Gold Stage!

She had absorbed the drop of Earth Dragon Blood Essence which in turn boosted her body cultivation straight from the Silver Stage to the Gold Stage.

She had broken through to the Silver Stage just before leaving the Grand Sea Continent. This happened just after Davis had completed his breakthrough to the Martial Ascendance Stage and then got intimate with Evelynn.

This was none other than the uniqueness of the vitality she received from him during dual cultivation, helping her breakthrough to the Silver Stage when she was at Peak-Level Iron Stage.

Now, the drop of Earth Dragon Immortal's Essence was incredibly overpowering, boosting her cultivation by an entire stage!

Fortunately, Evelynn had already absorbed a diluted Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence before, so she was able to assimilate the drop of blood essence with experience although she had faced some difficulties in the process.

Nevertheless, she had managed to absorb the drop of blood essence into her body without encountering any mishaps, otherwise, the was a chance that her blood vessels could've collapsed from the sheer vitality radiating from the blood.

Davis had just come out of seclusion when he saw Evelynn coming out of the bathroom, refreshed up from the breakthrough she had made to the Gold Stage.

Feeling the lust swelling up within his lower part of the body, he instantly pounced on her and landed on the bed.

He spent two days just being 'intimate' with her, forgetting all other aspects of socializing or cultivating. In these two days, they just dual cultivated, thinking about nothing else, just spending time with each other.

Lying in his embrace, Evelynn had no strength to 'play' with him anymore. She just languidly slept on him laying her head on his chest.

After a few minutes, they woke up and took a bath together, then dressed up without doing anything intimate in the process. Then they went out of their compound which housed their building and saw no one roaming around.

The entire area within the residence looked as if it had been absolutely deserted.

"Makes sense, they would be within their respective buildings," Davis commented and Evelynn couldn't help but agree.

Indeed, upon purchasing the residence, they had taken one of the many buildings for themselves and secluded themselves for a month and got cozy for two days. Who cannot say the others would not do the same themselves?

Princess Isabella took one building for herself and lived alone in a blue-colored building. Daniuis's Family of eight took one while Mulia's group of three took one and Jackson Lars's group of three took one as well.

Perhaps the remaining felt bad for their presence, Sasha, Haus, and Ophelia stayed in the same building.

Of course, there were plenty of rooms, pathways, and halls in a single building, capable of hosting a family of fifty or more, so they all could be said to be rather living in a spacious environment.

In the future, even if they decided to change their mind about living together, he garnered that it was alright for them to move into some other building.
