As if nothing happened, Davis returned to the Alstreim Family's base that was protected by natural formations. It was just a defensive-type formation and not a detection-type formation, so Nadia was able to easily sneak in and enter the underground cave while carrying him.

They managed to evade everyone's senses, just like the time they had gone out. From the time they had gone out, only half an hour had passed, and there were still a few more hours left for Davis to explore this place to find an entrance to the Immortal Inheritance that awaited him. At least, he liked to think so since his luck was abnormally rather good right now.

Nevertheless, Davis didn't let it get to the top of his head as he looked at the floating words of lightning in suspicion before he felt that it should be the last he should tamper with if he decided to do so. After all, according to Nero Alstreim, it was dangerous, and even he could feel that he shouldn't mess with it.

Its specialty, its unique aura was what made everyone think of the idea that it might be an Immortal Inheritance. After all, despite looking dull, it carried an extreme amount of energy within it, making the people who came beside it start to uncontrollably shiver as they experience their hair stand on end.

Apparently, even the Law Rune Stage Powerhouse Ezekiel Alstreim wasn't an exception, but Davis didn't know about quite a few of these pieces of information but still kept his greed in check.

Davis released his soul sense and began to search the area at this moment. He didn't believe that his soul sense wouldn't discover some sort of anomaly. If it didn't, that would mean either that the Immortal inheritance doesn't exist or his soul sense wasn't still enough.

'Then I can only resort to making a breakthrough to the King Soul Stage, but it would take me months to do that as I have to also increase my soul prowess first...'

Davis made his way to the apparent mid-zone in two hours of surveying the area with his soul sense. Here, the lava was hot enough to burn a Law Manifestation Stage, as Nero Alstreim said, and besides, he felt like his rate of comprehension in Fire Laws was given a boost in this place.

The mid-zone area was covered in even more fire-attributed heaven and earth energy that made it a better place to cultivate. Furthermore, he could see a few Alstreims here practicing their essence gathering cultivation as they sat crossed-legged above a few hot rocks. It was as if they were one with it, not experiencing the scorching heat burning their butts.

They were at the High-Level and even at the Peak-Level Law Sea Stage, making them Grand Elder-level characters in the Alstreim Family. However, it also seemed as if the latter were newly advanced ones as their energy was unstable.

'So there are more Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Experts in the lower zone?' Davis felt that the Alstreim Family had hit the jackpot to secure this place.

However, since this place was a sealed space with seemingly no hope of escape, many seemed to have already lost their motivation. If he was not wrong, Davis felt that these people only recently, like when Ezekiel Alstreim saved them, managed to get their motivations to live back.

After all, there was an Ancestor-level character who had saved before commanding them, and they would've all become extremely motivated to catch up to a presence like that even if it seemed a bit impossible in this space where resources seemed to be limited.

Otherwise, Davis felt that they wouldn't be here but at the lower zone where everyone can share the fire-attributed energy.

Time passed as he searched for a long while. There were an awful lot of passageways, nooks, and crannies that led to a dead-end no matter how he may have wished that it might have led to the entrance he searched for. Furthermore, there were already marks all over the place, seemingly symbolizing that these places were already searched. Even then, he entered them and patiently searched with his Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage soul sense.

However, no matter how he searched this scorching mid-zone, he couldn't find a single suspicious place, not even a hint or a clue, so seven hours later, he simply left for the lower zone.

In there, the temperature increased that made him feel like he was going to burn to death! From the opening to the lower zone, he watched four Peak-Level Law Sea Stage existences be seated in a quadratic formation as they sucked and comprehended the dense fire-attributed energy swimming around all over the air.

'So, including Nero Alstreim and Keira Alstreim, that's a total of seven additional Grand Elders for the Alstreim Family... Mhmm, not bad, considering that they only started to make progress in this last century.'

Although their cultivations were at the Peak-Level, Davis felt their Law Intents must've already reached the level of Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, or perhaps even Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, who was said to the most chances to enter the Law Rune Stage.

These people had the advantage of learning Fire Law Intent because of the unique environment here. Any place could have powerful flaming lava flowing like this place, but in truth, they would lack pure, refinable energy that enables cultivators to comprehend the insights and aspects. This unique place precisely had that pure energy available to comprehend, making it easier for the cultivators here to refine and perceive....

Davis became tempted to sit down here and learn Fire Laws but he could in no way comprehend the insights he gained from this place. Even if he gained, it would become wasteful since he wouldn't be able to digest it and use it for himself because of the lack of cultivation. Nevertheless, since he had the Ashen Dawn Herb, he felt like he could have the chance to come back here again to comprehend at a later date. He had to first enter the Law Dominion Stage or hover at it to maximize the value of insights he could comprehend from the Ashen Dawn Herb.

Nevertheless, this lower zone was completely small that it only amounted to this special location. Davis felt that in the middle of this was where Ezekiel Alstreim might've supposedly found that unique resource that led to his breakthrough to the Law Rune Stage, but that was a matter that occurred more than a hundred years ago that it didn't matter to him, not making him feel even a bit of envy that he didn't obtain it.

He didn't stand still but used his soul sense to scour this small area in a calm and slow manner without stepping inside. His soul sense was being constantly burned that he could feel his soul was becoming scorching hot, making him feel uncomfortable than ever. Even then, he gritted his teeth and searched the surface of the cave wall and edges.

Nevertheless, he didn't find anything of suspicion on the surface and didn't check the lava's depth since it was enough to instantly vaporize his soul sense. Not only him, but he felt that even Ezekiel Alstreim wouldn't be able to bear the depths for a long time.

He felt that this place might be the source of the flowing lava in this underground cave but also felt that it could be the entrance to the Immortal Inheritance. However, if the depth was low, and Ezekiel Alstreim had already surveyed the depth, he didn't know what to say, so the only answer left with him now was to make a breakthrough to the King Soul Stage.

If it didn't work, then he felt like trying to disturb those words of lightning.

Davis left while being carried by Nadia. The area here was small, but he had already expended a lot of soul force to maintain his soul sense in this blazing hot environment, making him feel fatigued.

On his way back, Davis checked most of the spatial rings as he looked at their contents, only to see that there was only a scarce amount of Spirit Stones left, which almost seemed to have been their life savings. But to Davis, it made sense since there might be no Spirit Stone Mine here to replenish their usage. This also contributed to making them have little to no motivation to cultivate, letting them stagnate in their original cultivation base.

Nevertheless, they seemed to have a plethora of cultivation resources like manuals, alchemy techniques, records, pills, most of them at King Grade while the remaining were at Low-Level Emperor Grade.

Only a few seemed to be at the Mid-Level Emperor Grade while there seemed to be a single piece of High-Level Emperor Grade Treasure, a Ninth Stage Armament that seemed to be angry when it sensed his soul sense, trying to release its undulations!

'Hehe, Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm's lightning scepter sure is angry...' Davis couldn't help but laugh, not at its anger and sadness in losing its master, but he had gained a lot through this massacre!

A plethora of ingredients that he couldn't identify but were all at King Grade and Low-Level Emperor Grade, and a complete and fleshed-out collection of records that one needed to become a Peak-Level King Grade Alchemist, Peak-Level King Grade Inscriptionist, Peak-Level King Grade Blacksmith, and even a few records on Beast Tamers.

As for manuals, most of them were lightning-attributed and fire-attributed, but none of them seemed special or even better than the ones he owned. They didn't have the section for Emperor Grade, but he figured that they weren't allowed to possess them in this expedition by their powers as it might be lost.

Nevertheless, those records and manuals weren't only those that were present as there were many formations, inscriptions, and strange items that he couldn't identify and bother going through. He had gained far more than he could've imagined, making him once again think that plundering was a sleek yet immoral way to gain so much in a short time.

'No wonder bandits enjoy their profession...' Davis inwardly sweated as he felt like a bandit, but in any case, he knew that he was worse than them in another perspective, in the number of people he had killed.

Even though the search for the Immortal Inheritance's entrance didn't bear fruit, he felt a bit better after he checked the spatial rings that were full of knowledge required for him to enhance the skills he had in his professions.

Soon, Davis and Nadia arrived at the underground cave exit when he suddenly told her to stop. He dismounted her as he looked at the words of lightning. There were a few more hours left for his welcome party that he couldn't help but feel wasteful to not continue the search. As he thought like that, a sudden outrageous idea welled up in his mind.

'What if I disturb it with Fallen Heaven's death-like energy?'

Would it become fearful of him...? Or attack him in a fury!?
