Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 5312: Selection Method

Spirits faced nearly no bottlenecks and unstable cultivation problems. As long as they had cultivation resources and were of a higher tier, they just soared like a dragon without the skies to stop them. On the other hand, humans would have to stop at every minor stage or else find their immortal vessel collapsing if they pushed themselves too far.

Stabilizing the cultivation base was the most difficult aspect for people with resources, and the higher the stage, the greater the time it took to stabilize and reach an equilibrium, allowing it to rise once again or sometimes even fall should they receive injuries.

They were also shocked to see Davis having reached Level Seven Empyrean Stage, but he had gone through extreme tempering unlike Eldia over here. The only other person who could match Davis’s cultivation speed was Vereina, but her soul physique was to blame for it. It made her cultivation far more stable, like it was an external anchor.

But Eldia cultivating faster wasn’t anything strange, considering most of the spirits in the family had reached the Exalted Spirit Stage or were at the peak of the Empyrean Stage.

They only felt envious because she was their sister and they were supposed to grow together!

Iesha sighed gently.

She had also entered the Empyrean Spirit Stage miraculously when she was still a Frigid World Ice Spirit. This spirit species was still an Earth Tier, Emperor Grade Spirit Species, ranked fifth in the Ice Elemental Grade Charts.

It shouldn’t be possible for her to enter Empyrean Spirit Stage unless she had become a Heaven-Tier Spirit, but she hadn’t.

So why had she been able to enter the Empyrean Stage?

Natalya and the others helped research, and they came to the conclusion that if it wasn’t because of the Spirit Core, then it could only be because she had consumed a Diluted Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill of Minor Realm.

Unlike towards humans, it seemed to cause minor or major mutations to spirits and many other lifeforms like Stella, a Void Dust Tree, and Epsila, a pill. She had just heard that even the Azure Tree Realm Master, Fairy Divinacia, had also experienced a mutation and became way bigger than a normal Seraphic Azure Tree at the Exalt Stage.

Hence, it was most likely the reason why she had been able to enter the Empyrean Spirit Stage and even retain her already dwindling prowess.

But for some reason, even as she tried to evolve, it wasn’t succeeding. On the other hand, Pia had done it so easily. She had become a dazzling Heaven-Tier Empyrean Grade Spirit called the Sky Piercing Frigidblade Spirit, perfect for ice-attributed sword cultivators like Tanya.

Iesha wondered what the problem with her own body was.

However, she was in no hurry.

After all, ice spirits like her tended to be slow in cultivation and just liked to laze around, and most of the time, she just secluded herself in the Treasury, becoming its unofficial guardian. Even now, she felt like she must return to give Mingzhi a helping hand and arrange the resources perfectly so it could be distributed easily when it was needed later.

She wasn’t envious of Eldia either, as she had all she had wanted. She had Xiesha, her beloved child. The most important thing was to look after her cultivation, which was affected by the thing known as Eternal Winter Star. Her own cultivation was secondary to Xiesha’s cultivation.

Isabella inwardly sighed and then turned to look at Evelynn. She then glanced at Shirley, who blinked before turning to look at Evelynn.

”Big sister Evelynn, you accompanied husband to the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm, and spent time with him regardless of whether you had slept together or not.”

”I have slept with him a few times.” Evelynn admitted openly.

”Then why aren’t you raising your hand?” Shirley asked with a forced smile, ”You know this isn’t right, right? Big sister.”

Evelynn smilingly shook her head, ”I’m participating not because of me, but because I want to send someone else in.”

”What?” Shirley blinked.

”A new member?” Ellia’s eyes gleamed happily.

”No,” Evelynn waved her hand, ”It’s Aila. I’ve heard from Mingzhi that she’s suffering a bit, so I feel she should be sent first to be healed.”

”Ah~” Aila jumped. She held her cheeks, her face going red.

Suddenly, everyone understood.

”Healed...” Isabella’s lips twitched.

”What a way to put it...” Shirley gave a thumbs up.

”But yes, four weeks.” Lanqua sighed, her gaze teasing, ”That was too much for a virgin. If Panqa and I hadn’t been there, it would’ve been way worse. Furthermore, her physique had made it even more worse. Without getting pregnant, even I suffered for a few days after that.”

”Don’t speak of those days anymore... you’re embarrassing me~” Aila pointed at Lanqua, looking like she was going to cry.

”Little sister, you’re quite the devil in bed.” Bylai giggled.

”Ahhhhhh~”

Aila nearly broke down in tears as she hid her face and went underneath the table.

It was unknown if she could recover from this.

”Don’t bully her.” Evelynn said softly, ”Well, if the Harem Council decides that I can’t give my vote to someone else, then consider me out. This was originally my, Mingzhi’s, and Panqa’s considerations anyway. Hence, it was a three-vote held by one person.”

”Oh, in that case, it works.” Shirley nodded before she panned her gaze at everyone, ”If someone has any objections, feel free to raise your voice. Don’t mind it because she’s the big sister. Everyone’s voice is more or less equal here.”

The hall went silent, and no one said anything.

”That decided it then.” After a few seconds, Shirley nodded and gazed towards Mingzhi.

Mingzhi caught the cue and continued, ”Then we’ll decide on who to send over and what method we should use. A simple selection through the selection formation would make this much simpler but would leave it to luck and not consider any of your contributions to the family. The selection formation is impossible to rig, so you don’t have to worry about it and can even go check it. On the other hand, if we consider contributions, then the little sisters wouldn’t have a chance.”

”Except me, of course, but I’m pregnant and abstaining.” Zenova added suddenly.

Mingzhi was speechless at being interrupted just to say this, but she laughed, knowing this was very much like Zenova.

”Mmph!~ I also have accumulated extreme contributions!” Illumina pouted, ”Just you wait. Your Shadow Wraith Legion will be mine after we give birth.”

”You can have it if you want.”

”Heh, you think you can- what!?” Illumina turned shocked.

Her lips nearly parted all the way as she gazed at Zenova, who displayed a calm smile.

”It was for times like this that I created this shadow organization. It would surely help First Prince Azariel in his endeavor after the family splits into a non-Divergent half.”

”...”

For a moment, the Harem Council went silent.

As expected...?

They couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This woman was one step ahead without even planning for it.

Mingzhi had her elbows placed on the table and hid her lips behind her hands, her gaze flashing with an enigmatic light, ”Alright, we’ll start the vote to decide how to choose the candidates. Use the switch in front to turn in your votes. Press green to choose by selection formation, which chooses randomly, and press blue to choose by ourselves using the method of contributions, which is going to be hectic if passed, so we’ll send the first one to darling immediately after choosing.”

”Yes~”

The harem answered sincerely and stabbed with their finger.

Isabella, Fiora, Sophie, Tina, Lea, Tanya, Ellia, Bylai, Shea, Lanqua, Everlight, Yotan, and Stella stared at the ones on the opposite side, who were none other than Shirley, Niera, Iesha, Nadia, Dalila, Zestria, Yilla, Schleya, Aila, and Mira, their fierce gazes clashing with fervor and the intent to win.
