Davis, the Solitary Soul Avatar to be exact, stayed in the Soul Palace's Library and absorbed all types of knowledge in a prioritized manner. He went for Alchemy first, devouring the knowledge of hundreds and thousands of ingredients, their characteristics, features, life cycle, and many more.

Furthermore, it was said that the Alchemy Records here were far more perfect than the Thousand Pill Palace or even the Glorious Pill Palace, a Mid-Sized Territory that controls most of the pill market of the Fifty-Two Territories. However, the Glorious Pill Palace collectively possessed more pill recipes and raw ingredient resources than any power combined since it was their main business and reason for existence in the Fifty-Two Territories.

Nonetheless, the Soul Palace had their exclusive Emperor Grade Pill Recipes, like the ones that Soul Emperor Elusivemist listed. They weren't found on the outside as the Soul Palace made sure of it, and that's also one of many reasons why there were very few Soul Emperors existing. Their monopoly made so that only the powers who had their own set of Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals were able to cultivate to Soul Emperor Stage but even then, with little records and insights of the comprehension of heaven and earth, they were unable to cultivate as skillfully as the Soul Palace.

They had to pave their own path while blindly reaching out their hands, unlike the Soul Palace that had numerous paths researched and made available for their Soul Kings.

As for the powers who still had some sort of High-Level Emperor Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual or had the luck to obtain one like Old Man Garvin, they found it extremely difficult or remained unable to cultivate to due to their inadequacies and lack of possessing the right resources.

Nevertheless, Davis successfully dealt with Alchemy, reaching Peak-Level Emperor Grade in a short few days with his overpowered soul sense that reached High-Level Emperor Soul Stage.

Apparently, an Alchemist who could make Emperor Grade Pills was called a Pill King. However, if that same Alchemist could also make High-Level Emperor Grade Pills and above, that was termed as a Pill Emperor. Therefore, Davis believed that he was already a Pill Emperor, albeit a theoretical one, as he hadn't tried making an Emperor Grade Pill before. Still, all that knowledge that would take thousands of years for a lower stratum soul cultivator to cram and digest took a mere few weeks for him, and that told volumes about his soul prowess, and it was still rising by the second, giving him an immense boost.

Davis didn't feel much as he thought he would, so he began to concoct many pills, relearning what he learned in the past while trying out new pill recipes, all of them containing the mysteries of the soul.

The pills he concocted consisted of the ones that increased Young Soul Stage Cultivation, Adult Soul Stage Cultivation, Elder Soul Stage Cultivation, Mature Soul Stage Cultivation, and Supreme Soul Stage Cultivation, much potent and sufficient for even average soul cultivators to use as they could at least reach the Supreme Soul Stage if they managed to obtain sufficient quantity of these quality pills.

Even the Soul Emergence Pill also seemed to be with the Soul Palace, although it did not seem exclusive to them as the Four Great Righteous Sects were also in possession of them as well as stated in its description.

He obtained its ingredients in large amounts and concocted them too.

All of the pill recipes were designed to help their talented disciples, but here was Davis making these pills as if he were making sweets, packing them up in jade containers, and sending them off as gifts to his women with Nadia's help in carrying it from the Soul Palace to back home.

Moreover, he also sent the same type of pills stored in the Soul Palace's Treasury to Ancestor Dian Alstreim, informing him that he could use it as he saw fit along with some Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals at Emperor Grade that he deemed weren't of much importance.

He sent the High-Level Emperor Grade ones for Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow's personal use, enough to reach the Soul Emperor Stage as long as they can obtain resources that would allow increasing their cultivation like the Undaunted Purple Lotus's derived pills and Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree Seed's derived pills.

Admittedly, the Soul Palace had many Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals that were of many attributes, like light, water, fire, wind, illusion, and many others. Other than light and illusion, it seemed that most manuals were simply gathering dust unless a disciple took them out to read them that it made Davis almost pity this world since the Soul Palace seem to have an unhealthy addiction of storing treasures that they don't even need, but he could understand, considering that releasing these manuals to some powers meant competition and why would the Soul Palace that has been keeping a track record of having soul cultivators want to lose their potential disciples, authority and power?

Following that line of thought, he kept the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals with him and decided to only give them out to people who deserved them. Of course, as long as both Ancestors reached the Emperor Soul Stage, he was of the opinion that he could give them the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Section of the manuals he gave them.

But for Evelynn and the others, he felt that his valuable life partners deserved better with more, like Immortal Grade Manuals like he currently held in his hands.

Davis's brows twitched as he wandered into the third floor and looked at the legacy treasures. He saw the altar and noticed five stands where the five Immortal Grade Manuals were kept and sealed on display. He didn't know to whom the Soul Palace had kept it on display, but he sure did become dumbfounded.

'To think that they had Immortal Grade Manuals. But if this was the case, then why hadn't they-'

Davis stopped his line of thought and couldn't help but wryly smile.

'I see. There are practically no resources that would allow them to reach the Immortal Stage in this era. Therefore, it is useless, just like how I deemed a Poison-Attributed Immortal Grade Cultivation Manual I got from Fallen Heaven for Evelynn, useless.'

Davis could see that these five Soul Forging - Immortal Grade Cultivation Manuals were nothing more than decoration to the current Soul Palace. He mused that the ones who managed to make proper use of these manuals had already done so shortly after the Fifty-Two Territories divided the land, along with the ones a few generations ahead before the immortal-level resources had gradually run out like how spirit stones had been consumed to utter exhaustion in the Grand Sea Continent.

Nevertheless, moving on, Davis found that there was only one artifact altar, but it was empty.

Davis wasn't surprised as he knew that it was probably the Purple Soul Flame Lantern, a Legacy Artifact that controlled the entire Soul Palace while also possessing immense offensive prowess.

He already obtained this when he plundered Soul Emperor Zealwonder's Peak-Level Emperor Grade Spatial Ring, and that was why he was completely sure of conquering the Soul Palace even if their elders and disciples protested, although he hadn't bound it because he felt that it would cause a disturbance from not acknowledging him and even if there was a sign of acknowledging, he knew that it'd probably alert the whole Soul Palace through some palace-wide phenomenon, making it meaningless for him to bound it in the first place.

Actually, when Soul Emperor Zealwonder uttered to him that he was a dead man, Davis perceived that he was about to bring this Purple Soul Flame Lantern out and kill him, but before he could do that, he finished Soul Emperor Zealwonder with Fallen Heaven, making him rather proud of himself for killing him in a timely manner.

Other than this legacy artifact, a few other treasures caught his eye, like the treasure named Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron, a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Cauldron. It had red-colored patterns and lines all over its exterior, causing it to glow in a radiant light, and it was said that it was even capable of bearing the brunt or explosions of most berserk Peak-Level Emperor Grade Pills, making it something sought out even by the Glorious Pill Palace.

Moreover, this cauldron's spirit knew a bunch of good pill recipes that perhaps even the Soul Palace didn't have due to the innumerable Soul Emperors having used it to perform many concoctions in their lives, even the pill recipes that may have been lost.

Davis even saw a device that could measure one's talent, making him smirk. He had been looking for this and finally found one, free of cost. Just before he could use it, his body abruptly shuddered as he experienced a breakthrough into the Peak-Level King Soul Stage.

With a felicitous smile, he kept the device inside and left the Treasury.

'Time to visit Ancestor Cornelia...'
