Chapter 2712: Triumphant Return

Chapter 1378 – Triumphant Return

"I recall that the Karmic Guardian Physique has four or five Whisper of Fate Phenomenons… Does this mean that Tia Alstreim has already crossed all of them and attracted a heavenly tribulation?"

Davis smiled at Ancestor Dian Alstreim's assumption.

"You are right. Tia Alstreim crossed all five of them, attracting the heavenly tribulation. We thought she hadn't crossed all five yet as she was on her fourth whisper, but it seemed when I helped her cross her fourth whisper, it was actually her fifth whisper, leading to this mess. Nevertheless, we managed to survive…"

Davis possessed a smug expression on his face.

The heavenly tribulation was a form of approval for him. He, who had never needed to strive much in cultivation with Fallen Heaven in his arsenal, met an invincible opponent who made his heart pound in excitement. He was mostly convinced that the geniuses of the Fifty-Two Territories could not match his prowess, but the heavenly tribulation that adjusted to his Low-Level King Soul Stage Cultivation was almost able to make him scram for his life.

It made him feel glad that there was meaning to him increasing his cultivation's prowess instead of relying on Fallen Heaven all the way.

However, would a heavenly tribulation be this powerful…?

Davis felt that it was not the case as this heavenly tribulation was rather too powerful for anyone to survive. If a Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse had faced this while it adjusted to their cultivation base, he garnered that they would not be able to survive. Of course, unless they were an inheritor like Isabella and Shirley, whose prowess could be extreme after they have inherited their respective Immortal Inheritances, they are unlikely to survive this overbearing heavenly tribulation.

While Ancestor Dian Alstreim ruefully shook his head to Davis's growing arrogance, he did not comment on it because he also felt his pride flaring over the top. He never imagined that a youth of his family would face the legendary heavenly tribulation. This fact still left him reeling with both disbelief and pride!

"I didn't think that the Karmic Guardian Physique was something that would attract the heavenly tribulation. No wonder people with this physique died easily without even being known, while some do not even manage to get past their five Whisper of Fate Phenomenons, ending up dead sooner. However, it's expected that the Heaven Gazing Sect would keep the secrets of their number one physique in wraps."

Mival Silverwind spoke up as he looked at Davis, "Are you going to make her join the Heaven Gazing Sect? Otherwise, I don't see how she could effectively utilize her physique."

Davis smiled as he looked at Mival Silverwind while Tia Alstreim's ears perked up in his embrace.

"I've thought about it before and decided that I wouldn't let Tia Alstreim go. There are just too many variables, while I also don't personally believe that the Heaven Gazing Sect is fully righteous. Who knows what kind of methods they possessed to pass that freaking heavenly tribulation?"

"It was extremely life-threatening to the great me, so how can they overcome it with their measly prowess? I mean, they are specialized in divination and not offensive or defensive attacks, so how could they succeed? Could it be that they are allowed to use formations? Or are they using some other unorthodox methods to overcome the heavenly tribulation?"

"I don't know, and I doubt that they would share even when we have no use for it. I don't trust them with having my little aunt even if she is treated like a princess there because sometimes, a princess ends up being helplessly used for their own avarice."

Davis expressed his view to which both Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Mival Silverwind nodded their heads, seeming to be approving of his opinion.

"Although you may have taken too far with the Heaven Gazing Sect, I'll tell you that most of the people in the righteous path are the true sc.u.m of the cultivation world. At least, the wicked path mostly doesn't resort to backstabbing as I've seen many of them keep their word despite their twisted characters…"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim felt like he had learned more as he didn't have much interaction with the wicked path than getting attacked for no apparent reason.

Davis nodded before lowering his head, suddenly finding his little aunt peeking at him adorably. He chuckled.

"Of course, if she wants to go to the Heaven Gazing Sect no matter what, I won't say otherwise. What do you say, Tia?"

Everyone looked at Tia Alstreim as she shook her head as her lips moved, "I'll listen to big brother. I won't be a disobedient girl anymore…"

Davis blinked, not expecting a quick answer. He was going to say that she should not expect his help if she chose to go to the Heaven Gazing Sect. After all, he didn't have much time to look after himself or his wives, so he didn't feel inclined to look after her safety in the Heaven Gazing Sect.

He wasn't her nanny.

However, he felt terrible to see her lose her smile. That was not something he wished to see that he couldn't help but say.

"Don't you dare stop smiling, little aunt… Isabella loves your smile as much as I do, so don't be saddened by your selfishness a while ago. It happens in life, and sometimes, being selfish is the only way to keep your sanity, so don't be bothered about almost getting me killed because there's no way your big brother would die easily…" He spoke with the tone of an elder brother as he chuckled, "Hehe, even a heavenly tribulation failed to best me…"

Tia Alstreim's pupils trembled before she stuck his face to his c.h.e.s.t again, appearing to feel content while just holding him.

"Tia, your face is all dirty now…"

"Wah~."

A sound of disgust appeared, but she still held him and stayed like that.

Davis chuckled again, feeling rather overly elated as he had managed to overcome a myth.

Soon, they got back to the Grand Alstreim City while they each went their own way. Ancestor Dian Alstreim did say that he would like to visit Edgar Alstreim to congratulate him on having two exceptional daughters before he went away.

Davis just chuckled, feeling that their conversation would be quite stifling and fun to watch. He reached the Purple Guest Palace, but his expression became awkward as he saw Edgar Alstreim standing with Lia Alstreim. However, his wives were also there, seemingly having pale expressions as one of them seemed to be consoling the other two.

Evelynn, Natalya, and Fiora stood there, tears filling their moist eyes, making it obvious to him that one of the two grandparents had broken the news to them.

'Eh… Damn you, grandfather. You made them needlessly worry for my sake…'

Davis felt exasperated and angered, but considering that he and their daughter might die while facing a heavenly tribulation in their perspectives, he felt that it wasn't overboard that they had informed them.

'Well, at least, they didn't needlessly worry mother…' That's the last thing he wanted as his mother was almost going to give birth.

Naturally, when he entered the Grand Alstreim City, he had concealed himself so that people from the outside wouldn't notice him or his peculiarity, so he sneakily entered the Purple Guest Palace, closed the always-opened gates to their stupefied expressions before his wives all screamed as they looked around.

"Davis!~"

He stopped using Dark Concealment Shroud Art in response to their call before they caught sight of him, looking battered with his charred black robe while he also seemed to be princess-carrying a girl who seemed to have her face all black along with a few patches of her robe.

"Tia, my child!~"

Lia Alstreim screamed as she ran towards Davis.

"Mother!~"

Tears began to fall out of Tia Alstreim's purple eyes again as she jumped out of Davis's embrace and flew towards her. She pounced on her mother and buried her face over her mother's bosoms as she trembled.

"Mother, you're fine…"

"Tia, nothing must've happened to you as well…" Lia Alstreim's voice was low as she tightly held her daughter, kissing her cheeks as she c.a.r.e.s.sed her head, not minding the dirtiness.

"Mhmm… Big brother saved both of us…"

Tia Alstreim turned to look at Davis, her eyes possessing an affectionate light.

Evelynn and the others were looking at them before they understood the whole situation. They had already heard about the Whisper of Fate Phenomenon and the Karmic Guardian Physique from Edgar Alstreim. At the same time, Lia Alstreim seemed shocked, apparently hearing it for the first time with them that she felt her own life crumbling in front of her.

If she had to be healed in exchange for her daughter's life, she didn't know to face herself in the mirror anymore, nor know how to keep on living.

Fortunately, Davis had saved her daughter, perhaps a lot of times already, more than she could ever thank him for!

Nevertheless, understanding the entire gist of it, the three wives looked at Davis before Evelynn opened her mouth first as she wiped her tears.

"You passed a heavenly tribulation?"

Her tone was one of disbelief, her pupils trembling in wonder and awe as she already believed that he had faced one just now.

Davis ruefully nodded his head, to which he garnered gasps from Natalya and Fiora as they ran towards him and embraced, crying as they lightly felt his charred patches of skin with their hands.

Evelynn's mouth was wide open. She already knew that Davis was alive and returning as they possessed a soul connection, but it wasn't the same for Natalya and Fiora, who needed to be constantly assured and consoled by her. But still, even she had been influenced by their worried emotions that she couldn't stop her tears from falling before.

She now possessed a relieved smile on her face, seemingly relaxed after seeing that Davis was still safe and sound.

"My beauties…" Davis wryly smiled, "You can check my body all you want after I take a bath…"

Natalya and Fiora who were panic-strickenly searching for any wounds on his body became red-faced once they heard him!

"Ah~ You're not funny!~"

Natalya screamed as she threw herself and kissed his dirty lips.
