Divine Emperor of Death

The Blue Luan Immortal turned around as her blue robe spun along with her. She wore a conical hat that hid her facial features except for her slightly pale red lips.

Davis's brows frowned ever so slightly as he was sure this Blue Luan Immortal had followed them. But how?

It had been three hours since they left the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City. There was no way she could've followed them unless she placed formations in the outskirts to track certain auras.

Or was it because of the mortal world aura? Or had she marked them somehow?

If it was the former, he had been busy dual cultivating, bestowing bliss to his women while being in the nine heavens himself, but in the meantime, Evelynn had almost shed her mortal aura using immortal crystals.

She had shown the way for them to shed their mortal aura by diluting the immortal crystals and taking a bath in the spirit water every day. It may not be the best way, but it was harmless and didn't cause much damage to their skin like other pills she had tried made by Tina and Dalila.

Perhaps because those pills weren't at the immortal level, they didn't work, so they had to resort to using immortal crystals as bath salts.

They drank spirit water diluted for consumption as well. Some weak ones might blow up from the excess of energy, after all. They were careful about it.

Following their activities, Davis had only shed his mortal world aura a little as he was most of the time, only soaked in his lovers' love juices.

That's why he garnered more attention than Evelynn herself back in the city, wondering why a beggar like him would have a voluptuous beauty, but once the people sensed that she also had the mortal world aura, they lost interest, thinking that they were dirty and probably ugly to be wearing a black veil, one that completely hid sight of the face rather than leaving it semi-transparent which would leave one wanting more to see.

It had to be known that it was difficult to see ugly people as most ugly people were a product of their cultivation, bloodline disorder, or some sort of illness. That's why average-looking people were also considered ugly, but depending on their power, that perception could also change.

That's why an empire-toppling beauty with extreme power was a sure-kill to someone's heart even without having to possess Charm Laws. It could be low-key said that they were innate beings who were born to be pursued and worshiped by many other average people.

Nonetheless, the disguise worked in Davis and Evelynn's favor, so they didn't bother, but this magical beast decided to come to visit them somehow, and it wouldn't be without reason.

If the Blue Luan Immortal had marked them or had someone follow them, then…

Davis gazed around with his pupils with a meager turn of his head, wondering if he and Evelynn were surrounded when the Blue Luan Immortal's voice resounded.

"Don't worry. I lost those pursuers long ago when I used my Unobtrusive Spatial Talisman to drop those women in another city where they wouldn't be ostracized as much as in the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City and was just returning to teach that City Lord a lesson before I stumbled upon you two. You won't be implicated due to my actions."

Davis and Evelynn looked at each other. What was this explanation supposed to be for?

Did the Blue Luan Immortal not tail them to capture them?

The Blue Luan Immortal's lips curved, "Now, since we met, I'd like to ask one thing. Are you two from the Jasper Ocean Lower Plane?"

"I don't think so." Davis shook his head, causing the Blue Luan Immortal to become silent.

"Where is the Jasper Ocean Lower Plane? Since I'm an ascender, I lack knowledge. If young miss has some bits and pieces of knowledge to spare, I would feel grateful."

"Young miss? You flatter me."

The Blue Luan Immortal stared at them as she smiled, having her head slightly inclined in interest, "From where did you ascend?"

Davis's lips curved, "Grand Sea Continent."

"Mhm?~ That's strange." The Blue Luan Immortal's veil fluttered in a slight breeze, "There aren't any records about a 'Grand Sea Continent' in the list of lower planes publicly available."

"Well, my world has been particularly affected by the decline of heaven and earth energy, so no one has ascended for millions of years to my knowledge." Davis shrugged, "Perhaps, we were the first to ascend."

The Blue Luan Immortal perfunctorily nodded, "I don't see an immortal with you. Are you, perhaps, heading towards him now?"

"Oh, the immortal who brought us out died to a Vacuous Beast while venturing out. Sigh, it's a sad state of affairs for our lower world that finally managed to produce an immortal."

"I see. My condolences."

The Blue Luan Immortal sighed, "I was hoping that you'd be from the Grand Beginnings Continent that was previously known as the Fifty-Two Territories, but it seems you're not."

"Why? Is there something I should know be aware of?"

Davis seemed concerned, causing the Blue Luan Immortal to blink before she uttered.

"There's a mortal called the Emperor of Death. I presume you have heard about him since he's been a hot topic for a while in these areas?"

"Ah, yes. I do. However, I've just heard some hearsay. Supposedly, it is not enough that he uses death energy but is also said to be capable of using heavenly lightning and heavenly flames. What kind of farce is that? I don't believe it."

Davis couldn't help but scoff, causing the Blue Luan Immortal's eyes to light up.

"Right? Even if they have to make it exaggerated, they shouldn't make it that obvious that it's fake. But still, I was tasked by my power, the Aurora Cloud Gate, to recruit him if the rumors were true, but even after waiting after some time, he didn't show up, practically having almost half of the major powers wait for him in all the Ascendance Monuments before we all dispersed earlier today."

The Blue Luan Immortal harrumphed, "He has made a fool out of us!"

Her voice seethed with dissatisfaction, causing Davis to wryly smile.

"What if he ascended just now? Should young miss not be there?"

"In that case, he can join someone else's power. The Starlight Jade Wolf King particularly threatened the others, telling them that if they killed that poser, then they should be all prepared to face the consequences." The Blue Luan Immortal spoke with disdain.

This caused Davis to inwardly imagine Everlight's ancestor and the deal they had struck. Was the Starlight Jade Wolf King agreeable to protect him?
