<h4>Chapter 1747: Heaven Mandate Temple</h4>


    Many guards of the Heaven Mandate Temple wore golden armor and held a brilliant silver spear in their hands.


    *ng!~~~*


    However, they dared not point it towards the two figures in front of them but rather dropped it on the ground, appearing to have nobat intent. A cold current was coursing through their veins as they shuddered, frightened from the sudden presence of the Emperor of Death, whose face came to be well known after his revival.


    *Bzzz!~*


    Mighty undtions began to spread at the Heaven Mandate Temple’s Summit Gate as a powerhouse in a white robe, and golden fur coat suddenly appeared above the gate, sping his hands towards them.


    “I, Mihangel Evans, wee the Emperor of Death to our grand Heaven Mandate Temple.”


    “So it’s Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans.”


    Davis nodded at this person who helped them fend off the Dragon Families and the Poison Lord Vi.


    “I feel honored to be remembered.” Mihangel Evans trembled as he looked pleasantly surprised and addressed with an honorific, “However, can I know the reason for your eminence’s visit?”


    Davis’s lips moved.


    “Back then, when I enved the tan Family, I did say to your- Ah, he’s here.”


    A figure silently appeared above Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans. Thetter turned around and looked up to find the Mandate Emperor overlooking him! Instantly, he went on his knees as he sped his hands.


    “Temple Master!”


    “You did well. Let me take on from here.”


    A soul transmission fell on Honorable Elder Mihangel Evan’s mind, causing him to rx.


    The Mandate Emperor wore a simr yet more magnificent robe of what Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans wore. He nced around, making sure that no one else came before sping his hands towards Davis.


    “Emperor of Death, please let me host you.”


    He gestured inside, causing Davis to nod his head. With his hand locked with Nadia, he stepped forward and entered the summit’s gate along with Nadia, entering the Heaven Mandate Temple.


    The Mandate Emperor was in front of them, personally leading the way as they walked uphill, each of their steps taking them many kilometers forward.


    The Heaven Mandate Temple was situated on top of a mountain, its structure gracefully running all the way up to the next mountain’s summit and the mountain after that, which was almost three hundred kilometers in altitude from the surface.


    As they scaled the thousands of steps built on the ascending mountain, Davis looked around and saw many abodes aligning with the stairs as if they represented the status of the person living in the abode, and some people did peek out or stand in front of their dwelling, ncing at him with wide eyes. He could see that they were all outer disciples and looked at him with strange eyes, the fear in their minds being reced with awe.


    “I must say, the heaven and earth energy here is too pure, making this ce a marvelous cultivation spot for Essence Gathering Cultivators. However, don’t tell me they all train in Mandate Laws…”


    Hearing Davis’sment, the Mandate Emperor cracked a smile.


    “Certainly not. Our disciples here shape themselves up in a challenging environment and spend their lifetime trying toprehend Mandate Laws if they were found to even have the slightest potential, but only a few seed. As for the people who fail toprehend Mandate Laws and want to give up, they simply be deacons who teach the inner disciples who all have a greater chance ofprehending Mandate Laws.”


    “So these deacons teach otherws to the inner disciples?”


    “Indeed,” The Mandate Emperor nodded, “Having toprehend Mandate Laws isn’t the only requirement to be a core disciple. Cultivation isn’t a problem as most of our elders spread throughout thends are powerhouses. Since we share millenniums of destiny with the Heaven Gazing Sect that doesn’t take any disciples other than those who have an affinity with Karmic Laws, those elders join the punitive forces of the alliances and protect the Heaven Gazing Sect and the righteous pathnds from the wicked path.”


    “I don’t see them much.”


    “That’s because they battle with the wicked path in their own vile territories, and sometimes, retreat to the Heaven Gazing Sect Territory, the Burning Phoenix Ridge Territory, or other nearby righteous path territories to resupply or resume practicing their cultivations.”


    “Mhm, makes sense.”


    Hearing this exnation, Davis nodded before the Mandate Emperor continued.


    “As for the disciples whoprehends Mandate Laws and make progress in it throughout their lives, they’re the ones who are considered true disciples and have a chance to be an Honorable Elder of our Heaven Mandate Temple. To be an Honorable Elder, not only must they be a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse, but they must alsoprehend Abstruse Intents in at least two Primary Laws, and reach Level One Intent in one specific Greater Law, which is the Mandate Laws.”


    “Level One?”


    Davis’s brows couldn’t help but twitch.


    His ra’s Mandate Laws were already at Level Seven Intent if one considered it at the level of a Primary Law. But since Mandate Laws were considered Greater Laws, it was still considered Elementary Intent, except since ra had seven resonances, she was already just two steps away from reaching Level One Intent.


    If this was the case, wouldn’t his ra easily fulfill the main requirement?


    Davis had the confidence that ra would be taken as a top disciple without a doubt. After all, he felt that just her unique physique should be enough, not to mention that he didn’t know about ra’s currentprehension level as he hadn’t asked her about it.


    For all he knew, she could’ve drastically improved, for it was already a year since she experienced seven minor resonances, entering the Law Dominion Stage while creating a Perfect Domain of Mandate Laws, including a Perfect Domain of Ice Laws.


    “Level One?”


    The Mandate Emperor mumbled as he could feel the mocking tone in the Emperor of Death’s words before he shook his head.


    “To align and replicate the voice of the heavens, is it any difficult thanprehending death?”


    Davis narrowed his eyes, “Death Laws have been known to be the most difficultw toprehend in Greater Laws. You can’t say otherwise, Mandate Emperor. As a matter of fact, you have so many people whoprehended Mandate Laws while only I exist with Death Laws.”


    “So many people?” The Mandate Emperor shook his head, agreeing in his mind that the Emperor of Death was still a child, “Even if we take the past hundred thousand years into ount, there are only four hundred or so people our of the trillions who couldprehend Mandate Laws, each of them capable of bing a grand character or an Honorable Elder in their own right. Back then, there were so several people with Death Laws existing at the same time. However, since the righteous path chose to eradicate them because of their vile actions, unlike you, how could they survive?”


    “Besides, unlike us who have the necessary foundation and growth to aid these people into betterprehending Mandate Laws, do you people have the necessary foundation to betterprehend Death Laws? For all I know, you must have found the tomb of Emperor Deathfiend of yonder to be this powerful, but even that infamous yet forgotten character didn’t have an ability like you, mysteriously capable of killing from anywhere as though you had previously hexed them before the battle even began.”


    “Emperor Deathfiend?”


    Davis narrowed his eyes while ignoring Mandate Emperor’s hypothesis.


    The Mandate Emperor stopped and looked at Davis with his dazzling golden eyes, staring at him to garner if there was any kind of falsehood in his expression.


    “I myself wasn’t aware of such a character until you made a show of force that I had to go to the deepest level of my Heaven Mandate Temple to learn.”


    “The Heaven Mandate Temple sure is knowledgeable~~~”


    Davis echoed out loud as he dragged his words. The Mandate Emperor merely pursed his lips and turned around, continuing to ascend the steps again, but no longer spoke.


    Nevertheless, Davis looked as if he wasn’t in any hurry. He admired the scendscape and the entirety of the Heaven Mandate Temple and even possessed the desire to possess a simr residence that reached the apex.


    Looking at the disciples kneel and even the elders who asionally appeared kneel without a hint of shame, it very well told him the hierarchy of the Heaven Mandate Temple, and certainly, he could see the people here look at the Mandate Emperor with immense respect as though he was a deity.


    Davis didn’t have any doubt if the Mandate Emperormanded them to do something with his power, then they wouldn’t be able to move against his words even if they wanted to, for he understood that his prowess was that terrifying, inadvertently making them willing to do almost anything he asked.


    However, although stoic and a bit cold, it was said that the Mandate Emperor was a magnanimous individual, a person who carried the burden of the righteous path with his own weight instead of relying on others like the Vast Sky Emperor who in Davis’s gaze, lusted after power.


    For this alone, Davis felt like he could treat this person with a bit of respect.


    Soon, they reached the summit of the mountain, which was called the Third Heaven Sundering Mountain, and reached the luxurious pce. As Davis and Nadia followed the Mandate Emperor to a well-lit, dazzlingly decorated hall, they found another person seated by a round table, sipping a cup of tea before he stood up and sped his hands.


    “Greetings, Emperor of Death.”


    “What a coincidence…” Davis raised his brows in surprise as he saw another white-robed man with a strange pattern adorning his robe, appearing majestic and mysterious while his silky white hair reached freely till the back of his waist.


    “… I didn’t think the Karmic Guardian Emperor was here as well.”


    While Davis nced at the Karmic Guardian Emperor and the Mandate Emperor, wondering if the former hurried like the wind to this ce to counter Nadia, the other two were looking at Nadia with caution as they recognized her to be the wicked wolf.


    After all,st time, they had sealed her and could’ve inevitably earned her ire.


    Nevertheless, Davis nodded as if he was peaceful before the four of them sat by the round table and shared a few cups of tea as the Karmic Guardian Emperor brewed while Nadia simply raised her hand and refused.


    “So exquisite…”


    Davis could feel his Law Sea Stage Cultivation rapidly increasing with each sip.


    “I’m d you liked it, Emperor of Death.”


    The Karmic Guardian Emperor lightly smiled, appearing refined before the Mandate Emperor turned to look at Davis, his golden eyes shing with a strange light.


    “For what reason has the Emperor of Death approached us? Although you’re still a youth, it can’t just be for sightseeing, right? Although I would undoubtedly feel d if it was the case.”


    “Haha!” Davis couldn’t help butugh before he ced the teacup on the table, “Alright, seems like there is no need to stand on ceremony. Hand over your techniques and manuals. Otherwise, we’re going to have some trouble.”


    “…”


    Looking at Davis’s expression that appeared to be full of smiles, the Mandate Emperor and the Karmic Guardian Emperor couldn’t tell if he was kidding or not, bing stiff as a puppet.
