Daniuis and Claire moved towards Davis and stood beside him. Then they saw the map which they were more familiar with than anyone else in the group.
In the far end of the southeast direction was the Tripartite Alliance Territory Gate. From there, they had literally crossed 5,000 kilometers north through space in an instant.
They cast a short glance at the map before Daniuis said, "This map is more or less the same as the one hundred years ago since I can't see any difference between the stronger powers."
"Unless this map is fake, this denotes that none of the stronger powers present had fallen in the last hundred years."
Claire pursed her lips as she nodded to her Uncle's statement.
In truth, she didn't know much about the entire Alstreim Family's territory, much less about the other parts of the map which she currently had no idea about.
Since she didn't get to travel much, so she only knew about the land area which the Alstreim Family occupied in this territory. After all, most of the southwest area of the territory belonged to them.
"Where do you suggest we take up residence then... in one of these empires?" Davis pointed to the four empires which were marked on the map.
In the southeast direction, there were two Empires, namely the Kazire Empire and the Ethren Empire. Surrounded by mountains and forests, there was no lack of magical beasts to hunt or tame in the surrounding regions.
The Kazire Empire has five Kingdoms on its entire dominion while the Ethren Empire has three Kingdoms.
In the East direction, there was a single Empire, the Inciria Empire which is near to the ocean in retrospective to other empires. The vast ocean in the map occupies more than 60% of the entire Alstreim Family Territory.
It has five Kingdoms, and one of the Kingdoms connects to the ocean as a port Kingdom.
In the North-East direction was the Zeth Empire which was closer to North East Territory Gate, which is also called the Poison Lord Villa Territory Gate.
From the map, the Zeth Empire looked they had five Kingdoms but two Kingdoms were out of their boundaries, making them confused.
They didn't ponder much about it and discussed where to settle down in this territory.
"The Kazire Empire is closer to the Alstreim Family when compared with the other empires."
"In terms of friendly relations?" Davis asked.
"In terms of location... No Empires are given special status but are indirectly suppressed." Daniuis shook his head.
He knew how the Alstreim Family treated the Empires as he was privy to the outside world.
Davis nodded his head in understanding and didn't ponder much.
Daniuis continued, "As for the Inciria Empire, they have a port Kingdom and from through that place, they have many visitors who enter the land which occupies 40% of the entire map."
In the Alstreim Family Territory, the land area occupied 40% of the territory while the ocean occupied 60%. Hence, all the Empires which were in the land area combined only covered 25% of the land area while the Alstreim Family occupied 15% of the land area and 20% of the sea.
"It is not safe in the Inciria Empire since it is easier to offend many neutral factions just by being disrespectful. Besides, the sea bandits are rather crass and often wage war with the Empire and plunder resources such as Spirit Stones from Spirit Stone Mines. In the worst case, they will lay waste to a fringe city and kidnap the women and kill the men."
Davis creased his brows, "What about the Zeth Empire? It looks fragmented as well..."
"This... I'm not sure..." Daniuis rubbed the chin of his mask and speculated, "Maybe the two Kingdoms had defected or something had happened that it left the Empire unable to reclaim its subordinate Kingdoms."
'Then the only Empire left is the Ethren Empire which is the least I expected to head towards...' Davis inwardly laughed at himself and as expected, Danuis reciprocated his thoughts.

"That leaves us with a single Empire to head towards and that is this Ethren Empire!"
Daniuis pointed towards the Ethren Empire on the map which can be said to be surrounded by three Magical Beast Mountains in the first circle and two other Empires, the Kazire Empire and Inciria Empire in the second big circle.
"Although this Empire's Kingdoms are always attacked by Magical Beast Wave every year for sustenance, the same can be said about humans going to the Magical Beast Mountains to make a living or to get stronger."
"As for why I chose this location, this is the Empire which least concerns the Alstreim Family out of the four Empires."
"Why is that?" Davis couldn't help but ask.
"Well, due to the Magical Beast Waves, experts will be sent from the Empire to curb the might of a magical beast of the equal stage, so casualties are inevitable."
"This made them unable to grow in strength for a long period of time, but they managed to maintain their power as a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Power with only one High-Level Law Sea Stage Expert in this few centuries!"
"Grand Uncle means to say that the other Empires has managed to surpass the Mid-Level Emperor Grade Power? Reaching High-Level Emperor Grade Power!?" Davis became shocked.
An Emperor Grade Power!
Emperor Grade Power signified that experts at this grade were either Eight Stage Experts or Ninth Stage Powerhouses.
Different from the King Grade category where it occupied the entire Seventh Stage from Low to Peak while corresponding to its counterparts, the Emperor Grade category is a wide chasm that fits in both the Eighth Stage and the Ninth Stage.
Low-Level Emperor Grade category signified that the cultivators or treasures were at the power level of Low-Level and Mid-Level Eighth Stage.
Likewise, Mid-Level Emperor category Grade signified that the cultivators or treasures were at the power level of High-Level and Peak-Level Eighth Stage.
As for High-Level Emperor Grade and above, that meant that the cultivator or a treasure is at the Ninth Stage!
Daniuis laughed, "How can it be so easy?"
"There are only two or more experts of the High-Level Law Sea Stage in other Empires when compared to Ethren Empire."
Davis became confused, "None of them have reached the peak of the Law Sea Stage?"
He knew that the Law Sea Stage is the Eighth Stage of Essence Gathering Cultivation. Then by logic, the Peak-Level Law Sea Stage should still be categorized at the Mid-Level Emperor Grade.
In these many years, no, centuries, why were those people who were in the High-Level Law Sea Stage not be able to break through to the Peak-Level Law Sea Stage?
He couldn't help but doubt and be confused about it.
Daniuis looked flabbergasted at Davis a bit, his expression hidden behind a mask. He couldn't help but confirm, "You don't know?"
Davis became taken aback before he felt that he was forgetting a fact but couldn't remember it. He could only shake his head to receive an answer.
"You know that we are able to absorb the pure energy from the spirit stones and absorb them for ourselves and refine then to aid in our essence gathering cultivation, right?"
Davis's mind clicked and he finally remembered!
He suggested, "Scarcity of Spirit Stones?"
"Indeed. There are not much Peak-Level Spirit Stone Mines in the Alstreim Family Territory. I only know about four or so, but they are all in the hands of the Alstreim Family."
