Divine Emperor of Death

e had many Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals that were of many attributes, like light, water, fire, wind, illusion, and many others.
Other than light and illusion, it seemed that most manuals were simply gathering dust unless a disciple took them out to read them that it made Davis almost pity this world since the Soul Palace seem to have an unhealthy addiction of storing treasures that they don't even need, but he could understand, considering that releasing these manuals to some powers meant competition and why would the Soul Palace that has been keeping a track record of having soul cultivators want to lose their potential disciples, authority and power?

Following that line of thought, he kept the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals with him and decided to only give them out to people who deserved them.
Of course, as long as both Ancestors reached the Emperor Soul Stage, he was of the opinion that he could give them the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Section of the manuals he gave them.

But for Evelynn and the others, he felt that his valuable life partners deserved better with more, like Immortal Grade Manuals like he currently held in his hands.

Davis's brows twitched as he wandered into the third floor and looked at the legacy treasures.
He saw the altar and noticed five stands where the five Immortal Grade Manuals were kept and sealed on display.
He didn't know to whom the Soul Palace had kept it on display, but he sure did become dumbfounded.

'To think that they had Immortal Grade Manuals.
But if this was the case, then why hadn't they-'

Davis stopped his line of thought and couldn't help but wryly smile.

'I see.
There are practically no resources that would allow them to reach the Immortal Stage in this era.
Therefore, it is useless, just like how I deemed a Poison-Attributed Immortal Grade Cultivation Manual I got from Fallen Heaven for Evelynn, useless.'

Davis could see that these five Soul Forging – Immortal Grade Cultivation Manuals were nothing more than decoration to the current Soul Palace.
He mused that the ones who managed to make proper use of these manuals had already done so shortly after the Fifty-Two Territories divided the land, along with the ones a few generations ahead before the immortal-level resources had gradually run out like how spirit stones had been consumed to utter exhaustion in the Grand Sea Continent.

Nevertheless, moving on, Davis found that there was only one artifact altar, but it was empty.

Davis wasn't surprised as he knew that it was probably the Purple Soul Flame Lantern, a Legacy Artifact that controlled the entire Soul Palace while also possessing immense offensive prowess.

He already obtained this when he plundered Soul Emperor Zealwonder's Peak-Level Emperor Grade Spatial Ring, and that was why he was completely sure of conquering the Soul Palace even if their elders and disciples protested, although he hadn't bound it because he felt that it would cause a disturbance from not acknowledging him and even if there was a sign of acknowledging, he knew that it'd probably alert the whole Soul Palace through some palace-wide phenomenon, making it meaningless for him to bound it in the first place.

Actually, when Soul Emperor Zealwonder uttered to him that he was a dead man, Davis perceived that he was about to bring this Purple Soul Flame Lantern out and kill him, but before he could do that, he finished Soul Emperor Zealwonder with Fallen Heaven, making him rather proud of himself for killing him in a timely manner.

Other than this legacy artifact, a few other treasures caught his eye, like the treasure named Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron, a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Cauldron.
It had red-colored patterns and lines all over its exterior, causing it to glow in a radiant light, and it was said that it was even capable of bearing the brunt or explosions of most berserk Peak-Level Emperor Grade Pills, making it something sought out even by the Glorious Pill Palace.

Moreover, this cauldron's spirit knew a bunch of good pill recipes that perhaps even the Soul Palace didn't have due to the innumerable Soul Emperors having used it to perform many concoctions in their lives, even the pill recipes that may have been lost.

Davis even saw a device that could measure one's talent, making him smirk.
He had been looking for this and finally found one, free of cost.
Just before he could use it, his body abruptly shuddered as he experienced a breakthrough into the Peak-Level King Soul Stage.

With a felicitous smile, he kept the device inside and left the Treasury.

'Time to visit Ancestor Cornelia…'
