Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1028 All-Seeing Towers

Two months passed.

On a vast and elevated platform, a blonde-haired young man sat. He wore a simple-patterned yet elegant white robe that seemed to accentuate his pale fitness countenance. The place he was in seemed to be a wide and long hall that spanned across for a few kilometers, and no one other than him seemed to be present.

He had his eyes closed and seemed to be meditating yet not meditating as there were no fluctuations around him, but suddenly, the heaven and earth energy spiked around him as if something happened to his body.

Then, it all suddenly stopped! The young man opened his eyes, his purple eyes glittering with an ecstatic and confident gaze.

”Finally... Level Two Heart Intent!”

”Now, I understand... The young man known as Davis Loret is extremely selfish, filial yet never bends to the will of others unless they are willing to be amicable, becoming polite in front of his stature. Such a simple yet straightforward character in our cultivation world, but when equipped with his prowess and mindset, he is like an unfettered Soul King.”

”Perhaps, in my Alstreim Familyʼs history, he would be the first to reach King Soul Stage other than the founding ancestor.”

He took a deep breath and regulated his emotions.

”I must somehow snatch him from Dragon Queen Isabella...”

*Creak!~*

The sound of a giant door grazing the floor echoed throughout the hall before an old man stepped in, his back straight. He flew forwards in a quick manner before he stopped before the platform, his back bending while he clasped his hands.

”Revered Ancestor, I have returned.”

”Krax, I believe that you were able to obtain the information I requested?

”Yes!... but Ancestor... the All-Seeing Towers is such a bully that they made me wait for two whole months in our own Territory even though I had sufficient wealth with me.” Grand Elder Krax Alstreim couldnʼt help but address his grievance like he was a child in front of his father.

”No matter... Theyʼre an intelligence organization that is equal to a large-sized Territories hegemon. We must not offend them.”

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim nodded his head with stiffness, ”Yes, Ancestor.”

It was likely that he knew the power the All-Seeing Towers possessed. Rumors had it that their influence extended to all Fifty-Two Territories, but considering that they havenʼt seen much of the outside world other than the Nine Eastern Territories and a few mid-sized Territories, they didnʼt bother about such an organization as they wouldnʼt have much dealings or enmity with it.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded in response, ”How much did the information cost?”

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim gulped before he opened his mouth, ”Almost everything...”

”... 985,000 Peak-Level Spirit Stones...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim closed his eyes as he felt pain in his heart. He had given a million Peak-Level Spirit Stones, and that was almost worth two years of annual income!

Two years wasnʼt much in the history of the Alstreim Family but when considering the yearly expenditure and the recent loss due to the Aqua Flood Dragon, even saving two monthsʼ worth of Peak-Level Spirit Stones became a matter that is akin to a blessing from the heavens.

Nevertheless, this amount of Peak-Level Spirit Stones were enough for a Law Sea Stage Expert to step into the Law Rune Stage. However, if only Peak-Level Spirit Stones worked, but it doesnʼt. If it did, they would already have many Ninth Stage Powerhouses. Instead, a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert has to use over a hundred Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments to step into the Ninth Stage, which is equivalent to using one million Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments!

Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments were extremely important resources that they could not afford to spend on people who could only try to force their breakthrough, and that too without enough comprehension. Such spending was too wasteful!

However, they also could not just leave them to be rotting in the treasury. So, they ended up buying treasures at the Mid-Level Emperor Grade, and mostly on High-Level Emperor Grade with them since if it was traded in Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments, it would cost lesser than the norm.

After all, Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments helped cultivators step into the Law Rune Stage! They were extremely high in demand that people would pay quadruple or even more the times to obtain it, sometimes with killing and looting, or ransoming being the most efficient way to obtain!

Nevertheless, for such detailed information that should be available here and there if he personally traveled to every one of the four large-sized Territories, he gave an enormous sum wealth to buy from the All-Seeing Tower in this Territory! It was to compensate for the labor and time spent because he knew that he was short on time!

The Dragon Queen could leave anytime, but before that, he knew that he should make his move to recruit Davis into the Alstreim Family!

”Alright! Let me see what kind of information you have brought.”

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim nodded his head and politely sent an unbound Low-Level Emperor Grade Spatial Ring towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim. This was not something he possessed or bought but was given by the All-Seeing Tower as a courtesy for purchasing information worth more than 500,000 Peak-Level Spirit Stones.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim bound it and checked the contents. He instantly saw a variety of jade slips, scrolls, and other sources of information.

After what seemed to be a long time, he squeezed his eyes and felt a headache encroaching his soul.

”What do you think about these ʼdetailed informationʼ, Krax?”

”Revered Ancestor,” Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, who was silent for so long, moved as if he transformed into a living being from a statue.

”I do not know what to make of it as there are too many variables.”

”As expected...” Ancestor Dian Alstreim sighed, ”Seems like finding the true background of Dragon Queen Isabella has become near impossible.”

They knew about the four great families who possessed the bloodline of a dragon!

The Zlatan Family from the Golden Dragon Valley Territory, the Orcha Family from the Heaven Gazing Sect Territory, the Ike Family from the Astral Light Sect Territory, and the Domitian Family from the Heaven Mandate Temple Territory. One mid-sized Territory and three large Territories.

Of the four of them, only the Zlatan Familyʼs Golden Dragon Bloodline possessed the ability to naturally comprehend Earth Laws while the other families had dragon bloodlines that helped comprehend different-attributed laws. Nevertheless, they confirmed the name and figure of the Zlatan Familyʼs Young Mistress.

Her name is Bylai Zlatan. She is a golden-haired beauty with peculiar, sword-like eyebrows, a sharp yet small nose, and plump rosy lips. Her looks were comparable to their own Young Mistress, and her figure was busty enough to cause innumerable men who have seen her with their eyes to go wide in an instant!

At the mere age of two hundred and fifty-six, she seemed to have stepped into the Martial Sage Stage while also comprehending Level Eight Earth Intent. An attractive and martial beauty who controls swords and the mighty earth attribute to defeat her opponents!

Her name once resounded till the borders of the Nine Eastern Territories, making it so that the Alstreim Family didnʼt know much about her other than hearsay that they naturally forgot after some time as it was distant from them.
