Chapter 2090 Rise Of A Hegemon
Davis and Shirley returned to the Purple Guest Palace while Clara had already returned. They quickly went to see Clara but found out that she had already entered secluded cultivation, and considering that they took a week to return, they didn't comment anything and turned around to leave, wishing to speak to her another day.
When they met with Evelynn, she informed them that Clara entered seclusion on the third day after playing with Eterna for a while. Apparently, the others also have entered seclusion on varying days after celebrating the birth of Eterna.
"Shirley, you abandoned your child for a week. What kind of excuse are you going to make?"
"Hehe~"
Shirley awkwardly smiled and scratched her head at Evelynn berating her. However, since the latter possessed a teasing smile on her face, Shirley didn't find her offensive either and lightly punched her shoulder.
"That's why you're here, big sister. If I'm absent, you should take care of my child with full responsibility."
"Gladly~ However, our mother-in-law is more than enough to take care of Eterna."
The both of them grinned. Hearing Evelynn's words, Davis also smiled, feeling that he should pay a visit to his mother, who fully took care of Eterna for almost seven days.
'Looks like she's really favoring Eterna. Evan is going to be upset and jealous at this rate...'
He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking about his second little brother, who had already crossed a year from birth.
They walked the hallways and arrived at Eterna's location, whereupon Eterna quickly cried out as she sensed her mother's aura.
"Ah~ Eterna, mother is back... please don't cry..."
It was instinctive, not even done on purpose, but the moment Shirley took Eterna and caressed her with her voice sounding in a baby-like tone, she became silent, curiously looking at her mother as though she couldn't recognize her for a moment.
Davis wasn't surprised by this. After all, Shirley's blood had intrinsically changed, and so did her aura that exuded a tremendous phoenix might. Quickly, Eterna returned to her normal chores, seemingly at ease within Shirley's hold as she sucked on her thumb, closing her eyes.
She was so cute that everyone couldn't help but keep their smiles.
However, Claire noticed the difference and became bewildered.
"Shirley, so I heard from Clara that you stayed to inherit the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance. Have you decided to dye your hair? Or did you become a fey? But I don't think so, as you still have a human aura...."
A flurry of questions bombarded Shirley, causing her to become stiff before she explained that wasn't the case.
Soon, a figure entered the dilapidated palace and waved its hand, causing a three-meter crimson cauldron to fall as its six legs hit the ground, causing the palace to tremble ever so lightly. Its bright red lines running over its body shone with a radiant light as though it was exciting.
"Master! Is it time?"
"Indeed, Tyriele." Davis smiled, "It's finally time to concoct the most potent pill you are going to feast your eyes upon in this lower realm."
Last time, when Davis was about to concoct the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, he was interrupted by Evelynn's finding of Ivy Aries's possible whereabouts.
Then after finding Valley Master Jade Aurora and Ivy Aries, he decided to wait, and during that time, he conceived an idea and acted on it, which was to plunder karmic virtue and karmic sin of every hegemon that visited him. All of them were consensual in allowing him to take away their karmic nature, although it was also a show of his power that greatly shook their hearts.
Otherwise, if he was weak and asked something like their karmic luck as a tribute, they would raise their hands and wipe him off the lands underneath the heavens. Naturally, they had to sign the most powerful Blood Soul Contracts, something devised or modified by Myria herself, so they naturally could not reveal his powers even if they wanted to.
When he saw Myria modify the Blood Soul Contract, he saw that she was scribbling more than skillfully inscribing but still, her piece of work was undoubtedly genuine. Besides, she didn't exactly know why he wanted it, so it was all good.
"Marvelous~ Let me help master refine the ingredients." Tyriele clamored in response.
"Sure."
Davis nodded. However, he didn't stand up, but the figure who brought out the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron collected the ingredients from him and started to refine it.
That figure was none other than his avatar.
Davis didn't refine or grind the ingredients beforehand because he did not want to lower the efficacy of the ingredients, which might cause the pill at the end to have lost its potency. Now, with him having two assistants doing the preparation work for him, he read the Pill Recipe repeatedly, simulating the process in his mind with his vast experience in refining various kinds of King Grade and Emperor Grade Pills.
After all, his Solitary Soul Avatar had been concocting pills all day long with the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron for the sake of his family, drastically increasing his knowledge of concocting pills. There were constant breakthroughs in the Purple Guest Palace almost every day.
Every one of his women had made major breakthroughs except Isabella.
Now, even the Alstreim Family's Ninth Stage Powerhouses crossed thirty individuals, causing many jaws to drop as it was nearing the might of a true Mid-Sized Territory Hegemon!
Krax Alstreim, Ancestor Dian Alstreim's loyal subordinate. Elise Alstreim, the daughter of Valdrey Alstreim. Her son, Eldric Alstreim, and also the Patriarch had all broken through to the Law Rune Stage. Other Ninth Stage Powerhouses also consisted of Nazca Alstreim, the apothecary, Niera and Nora's father and mother, Nero Alstreim, and Keira Alstreim.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim had also made a breakthrough, entering High-Level Law Rune Stage. Their Runes had also improved, reaching the third tier, Magnificent Tier.
As for Ancestor Dian Alstreim, he had also reached High-Level Law Rune Stage and had improved his Rune, allowing it to upgrade into a fourth level Rune, a Formidable Rune that increased his prowess by two, no, three levels!
Furthermore, they had all unequivocally entered Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage or even the Martial Overlord Stage, revitalizing their fires of life as they returned to their youthful disposition!
All of this occurred because Davis concocted pills back then, the Crystal Peak Essence Symbol Pill and Purged Peak Martial Radiance Pill, that would allow them to reach Peak-Level Law Rune Stage and Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage. However, because these two pills were too strong for them, he diluted the pills before giving them to them, and the result was such that it was the birth of more powerhouses for the Alstreim Family!
The entire human race was shocked by the Alstreim Family's growing might, but considering the person at the helm, they also thought it was a given!
