Chapter 231
Time passed, at least a few days .
It was exactly three years after Davis arrived at the Tripartite Alliance Territory through the space tunnel in the secret entrance .
Outside the West End Valley, a silhouette quietly left, without making a single sound, or leaking a presence of its aura .
In the nearby forest, the silhouette came out of the forest and stood by a cliff, viewing the clear skies and basking in the rays of the sun .
"Feels good to be out of that cave . . . " Davis breathed the fresh scent, deeply feeling the wind that grazed past all over his clothes and face .
He stretched out his limbs and took a deep breath again . Suddenly, his battle aura erupted scaring away the Magical Beasts which tried to hunt him for breakfast .
He didn't try to conceal his physical presence at all, so the magical beasts followed him thinking that he was easy prey .
Exhaling out, he kept his aura back and concealed himself again .
'Now, where exactly should I go?' Davis pondered .
'Should I move to some capital and make a name for myself?' Davis was no fool . He decided not to enter Cloud Spring Mercenaries again .
He thought of concealing himself with that mask, and enter the capital as an Alchemist to procure the resources he needed to improve his cultivation .
As for why he decided not to return to Cloud Spring Mercenaries? His identity should've been compromised from those who have escaped that day .
They would've definitely investigated him . If he returned, and somehow got captured, it was possible that they would have some kind of means to figure out that he came from the Second Layer; The Grand Sea Continent, the place of the Immortal Inheritance .
Although this kind of thought process was baseless and unfounded, Davis was having none of it . After all, being overly cautious isn't necessarily a bad thing in this world .
'I should stay away from the Loseris Kingdom and Uriel Kingdom, and go in search of a new place to accumulate resources . ' Davis thought and nodded his head in agreement, making the final decision .
He brought out the mask which he used to scam Young Master Jackson Lars and wore it on his face .
He jumped off the cliff before gliding away to a nearby town as he flew .
After gathering the necessary information from the town locals by using a few purple coins which were more than the required amount, he left the next day .
After much traveling, it took Davis exactly two months to travel to the Xuan Empire's Capital .
A Mid-Level King Grade Power!
If the Tripartite Alliance didn't exist, it would be the strongest power in the Tripartite Alliance Territory .
One would think they would be able to stand toe to toe with the Tripartite Alliance, but that kind of thinking was incorrect .
The Xuan Empire's Royal Xuan Family was an existence equal to a subordinate .
In the thousand-year-long history of the Tripartite Alliance, the Royal Xuan Family acted as a subordinate most of the time . Their relationship could be said to be of a master and servant relationship .
Obviously, the Royal Xuan Family was the servant in this case .
The Tripartite Alliance never took action against the Royal Xuan Family or tried to humiliate it, but maintained a friendly relationship in the thousand-year-long history .
With the help of the Tripartite Alliance, they became a Mid-Level King Grade Power 200 years ago, and even with achieving power, they didn't try to overthrow the Tripartite Alliance since they knew that there were three major powers behind it .
In fact, like all powers, they sent their young generation to the Tripartite Alliance for training, while the best ones would be taken to the main headquarters of the three major powers .
With this kind of relationship between them, things were relatively harmonious and neither overstepped their boundaries except for a few times which were later dealt by their respective elders .
This was also one of the reasons why Davis chose this place .
The Tripartite Alliance couldn't act as they pleased in this place without a relevant and valid reason .
They wouldn't think that Davis stayed in such a place either since they would still think he was stuck or dead in the West End Valley .
Currently, he was staying in an inn, wearing a mask that hid his facial features . In fact, he wore the mask from the time he left West End Valley and didn't remove it even once .
Now, his facial expression was odd which was hidden behind the mask . He was truly taken aback .
The price for staying in this inn alone was something he couldn't afford to spend casually .
It took him exactly 1 Low-Level Spirit Stone to stay here for a single day . Was it worth it?
Yes, as the amenities and infrastructure of the room were big enough to accommodate 15 people even with ample space remaining .
With the remainder being 8 Low-Level Spirit Stones, he knew he had to incredibly frugal in his spending .
Yes, it was 8 and not 9 Low-Level Spirit Stones he had left because he had to pay the toll for entering the capital as well and it cost him the same amount of resources he used to pay the inn .
Exactly a Low-Level Spirt Stone each .
If he knew this fact beforehand, then he would've considered traveling to this place again but still would've chosen to enter .
As for the ones that Old Man Garvin killed before, their resources were used by him to re-fortify the formations in the tomb and build a cultivation chamber for Davis to break through into the Seventh Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation in the future .
Although Garvin hid this fact, after he had died, Davis explored the underground cave for a while and found out that he left some items and spatial rings that belonged to the Tripartite Alliance, along with some notes .
Those notes were his explanation of what to do in case if he no longer existed in this world .
