Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2432 The West?

Chapter 2432 The West?
Davis saw that mountains and giant trees surrounded him.
However, he was near a waterfall basin, a luxurious place to enjoy a bath. Moreover, there was steam coming out of it, making it so that it was a hot spring. Fortunately, there was no woman that would come at him with killing intent, nor a magical beast hidden under the basin.
Instead, he was a lucky man who found a Mid-Level Immortal Grade Ingredient. Although his knowledge was lacking, judging by the plant's aura and features, he was able to tell its grade and attribute, which was yang. Moreover, he was able to carefully extract them without harm and planted them in the Life Ring.
Inside, he also saw that the heavenly wisps were stable as the life energy kept them at bay, while the Void Dust Tree was also safe and sound, having rooted herself onto the land that was now scattered with void dust somehow.
"So this is what you and mother meant... that the world is an unfair place. I would've also been extracted like this if it weren't the home mother built for me... mhm..."
Davis was about to stand up but froze in his tracks before he pursed his lips and turned to look at Stella Voidfield's contemplative expression.
She was also a vegetative life. Was he insensitive?
However, he didn't think so. In front of Nadia, he still killed and ate magical beasts. In front of Iesha, he would still kill spirits and take their cores. It all came down to whether the other party deserved it or not, but this was a different situation where he was gathering a natural resource.
This plant didn't even have a spirit, much less consciousness. But it had instincts.
In the eyes of Stella Voidfield, he was probably the plunderer now. After all, he may have been like a dragon preying on an innocent mortal.
"Poor plant." Stella Voidfield's lips pursed as she sounded down, "Our fate is to be ingredients. To some people, it doesn't matter if we have consciousness or spirit. They still attack us, trying to steal or monopolize our produce by kidnapping us. All of these are my mother's words, but I've seen them firsthand. Big brother, is this true for all people? Even you?"
"I won't lie." Davis stood up, looking at her beautiful face and her starry violet eyes, "If a lifeform can say no, then I mostly wouldn't bring harm to it just like I didn't harm you but tried to make an equivalent exchange where I boosted your growth. As for other people, I can't vouch for them, but I would say most would try to steal your produces or even you as you're worth it."
With how there was an Immortal Emperor mother tree entity, Davis believed that Stella's potential wasn't any less than her mother's. If anything, she might even grow stronger as the mother tree went to painstaking lengths to create a perfect environment for her child to grow.
Stella Voidfield nodded before she frowned, "But big brother still ruthlessly ripped apart my fruit. That hurt, you know..."
"I... I apologize."
Davis's expression fell. He truly felt bad. Not only had he wrecked her home, but he was also rude to her when posing as Mo Tian to awe the crowd so that he could establish his new identity.
However, looking at Stella Voidfield secretly holding a gigged, he found that she was teasing him.
'Teenagers are hard to deal with...' Davis blinked.
He saw Stella Voidfield quickly turn around and explore the surroundings with heated interest. Her mood swing was high, going from doubt, and sadness to excitement in an instant. However, considering that she could've been locked up in that secret realm for thousands of years, he didn't say anything as he was about to stop her.
Even he didn't release his senses.
Although it was powerful, he knew he couldn't control it much, much less conceal it without using Fallen Heaven's help.
Moreover, his undulations were not fluctuating intensely, but he could not come to fully restrict it either. Consequently, his aura could be picked up by any entity that could sense undulations. Therefore, he didn't move from the place where he had appeared, only having moved slightly to take the Mid Immortal Grade yang herb.
Right now, he badly wanted to return home to his people and reassure them. Perhaps, some had already become immortals. He wanted to see them, especially after coming so close to death once again.
But first, he knew that he should stabilize his cultivation. As for absorbing annihilative heavenly lightning and destructive heavenly wind, he could always return to the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace so that he didn't have to waste time.
He opened a cave in the mountain silently and made himself comfortable with the customization, although there was nothing more than a tea table and mattress, including a cultivation cushion for him to sit on.
Erecting a Mid-Level Immortal Grade Concealment Formation with a formation disc he bought at the Starsky Flame City before coming to the Zyrus Prefecture, he made sure everything was alright with the setup.
Sitting down in a lotus position, he opened his mouth, "Stella, don't go too far. Once you're done, return to the life ring. I should keep you alive, or your mother would kill me."
"Hehehe~"
Stella Voidfield mischievously giggled as her figure became shrouded in a spatial compression before she blinked away.
"I won't die if I'm killed in my spirit body. I can create my spirit body however many times I want as long as I have energy."
"..."
Davis was dumbfounded at her voice that resounded through the layers of space. Her usage of spatial laws also caused his brows to rise.
However, he couldn't help but smile and nod. As expected of a tree that could produce a spatial attribute heavenly resource. Her understanding of Space Laws was terrifying even by his current standards. Moreover, the mother tree was also to send him off without anyone noticing since Nadia didn't warn him of any pursuit after his departure from the Void Dust Secret Realm.
Davis also understood that Stella Voidfield's true spirit should be inside the tree since she was still a mortal.
Perhaps, she could conjure her true spirit out one day. He didn't know. The Void Dust Tree Fruit was not even in the encyclopedia of the alchemy ingredients, much less the tree. Every vegetative lifeform that had consciousness was different in some way, unable to be categorized.
That's why alchemists would lose their temper most of the time when dealing with an ingredient with consciousness, not knowing how they should quell and refine it.
Nonetheless, after him warning her, he closed his eyes and began meditating, trying to bring all his cultivation systems under control.
Davis practiced control for one and half a day while he regulated his immortal body. The feeling was so exquisite that he felt like he was a treasure. It was indescribable but extraordinarily overpowering.
Nonetheless, he imagined that the news of Mo Tian and Dead End had already reached most places in the surrounding areas. Did they think that both died with the collapse of the secret realm?
He was curious.
As the sun rose, he decided to exit, beginning a fresh start on his immortal path.
But, he had to change his appearance first as he didn't want to ruin his hard work. After all, becoming an immortal returned him to his original appearance. Perhaps, that was why the mother tree was more convinced that he was Davis Alstreim.
He didn't doubt Stella Voidfield knew of his identity as well, but she started calling him big brother, so it didn't matter.
Changing his appearance to Feng Chu, he was about to swagger out. However, just as he approached the exit, the concealment formation rippled, and a figure came through, locking eyes with him.
"Who are you?"
Immortal undulations surged out of a crimson-robed female cultivator as she came to a stop in front of him. She unnervingly took out a sword from her waist and pointed at Davis. Her movements were quick and precise, filled with grace.
"..."
Davis's first reaction was to strike to kill. He was even faster than the woman before him as she appeared slow in his eyes. However, he inwardly took a step back, looking at the situation from a third perspective.
Had he invaded someone's home?
The other party's luxurious robes, combined with the undulations of the Fire Phoenix Bloodlines, had him hesitating, causing him to understand if he made a move to kill her, he might possibly alert the power behind her.
It couldn't be that he was sent flying towards the West Fire Phoenix Prefecture, right?
Davis's brows twitched.
Moreover, he couldn't subdue her either as there was the possibility of others existing nearby.
"Speak! What are you doing here?" The woman's melodious voice echoed with some iciness, her Level Nine Immortal Stage undulations growing stronger and stronger by the second.
"..." Davis innocently blinked, raising his hands in surrender, "Would you believe me if I said that got lost?"
The woman's crimson brows narrowed in doubt. She turned to look around, noticing the simple arrangement of a temporary cultivation zone. Judging by the remnant immortal aura all over the place, she quickly understood that this man had just become immortal.
There was even a Mid-Immortal Grade Concealment Formation placed that made her mind set on the events that could've occurred.
On the other hand, Davis calmed Stella Voidfield using his soul body in the life ring.
Fortunately, Stella Voidfield had returned a day ago. She had become bored after looking around a bit, protecting his words of not going too far. She was a good girl who listened.
Moreover, he figured that there was misalignment and incompatibility in her new environment. It was entirely possible that she felt uncomfortable but didn't complain one bit. Therefore, he reassured her.
"Whether you got lost or entered purposefully, we both know. However, my mistress would decide your fate. Step out."
The woman smiled coldly underneath her veil and sheathed her sword. Turning around, she appeared defenseless. However, it wasn't that she was defenseless but didn't even see Davis as a threat. How could a Level Nine Immortal even take a Level One Immortal seriously?
They didn't even need to make a normal move to kill the other party.
Just a flick of their finger would be enough.
Davis wasn't offended or felt that it was his opportunity. Instead, he rejoiced. With the way this woman worded, it was highly likely that there were people outside.
As he followed her outside, he did indeed see a few figures outside in the distance. There were no more than four of them. Two of them were Level Nine Immortals, just like the woman leading him out. However, one of them was an Immortal King, causing his heart to tremble.
Their auras were reserved for some reason. That is why he couldn't detect them first.
However, he saw the reason for their reservedness as they stood behind another woman of superior beauty and bearing. Just the sight of her sharp brows and fiery eyes was enough to make him imagine the gorgeous face under her veil.
However, the moment he felt her aura, his pupils dilated.
'Flame... rose...?'
