255 True Mountain (1/2)

”Two out of four of us have died.” Blujin could not help but sigh in powerlessness, ”Will this spell the the downfall of our constellation?”

”Blujin, we will not fall.” Trueknight said seriously, ”Though we suffered an almost unbearable loss, we still have our dao lake.”

Dao lake was the foundation or source why a constellation was still standing. If in case the dao lake were to be destroyed, it would surely spell catastrophe to the constellation. After all, the members of the constellation had absorbed the dao of the Ethereal the moment they were born.

Other than that, it would also weaken all members of the constellation and suffer a sure decline towards south.

Thus, this place was the place with the highest security. In fact, Saint Markuz was the guardian of the dao lake. But knowing how grave the situation outside, he could not help but come into being and left only an avatar guarding the lake.

Fortunately, nothing happened or else that would destroy them for good and for real.

”Trueknight is right.” Saint Markuz agreed and smiled, ”Mateflower and Duxiao died because of their own doing. To say it in easier words, they deserved their death.”

The two sovereigns remained quiet. Indeed, they were killed because the enemy was stronger than them. This was the world of the jungle where the strong was the law. If you have the stronger fist, then you have the final say.

And being strong is justice. No matter if you're a savior or an evil, if you are the strongest, then you can make your own version of justice.

In fact, people have already their own version of justice that suited their beliefs.

Saint Markuz looked up into the sky and saw that dark clouds were coming and muttered softly, ”Ah, the next days will be rainy.”

Jin Rou and Owner Bu were already out of the territory of Havenleaf Constellation. They were flying south as Owner Bu had told him that he would have a business in a certain place.

After a few hours of flying, the pair finally reached the place.

It was a towering mountain with steps made of white stones. The mountain was gigantic enough to cover the entire vision of a person. One look and you could already determine that this mountain was very ancient. It was possible that this mountain was created as long as the Starlight Higher World.

Jin Rou examined the place and could feel an overwhelming sword dao at the top of this mountain.

”Youngmaster Jin, this mountain is called True Mountain. Rumors said that this was a mountain that came from the True Realm millions of years ago. No one knew why it descended here in Immortal though.” Owner Bu gave a brief introduction about the place.

”I see. And this is your target place?” Jin Rou asked.

”Yes. I left an important treasure here that holds very dear to me. So since I have the opportunity to come back in Starlight, I might as well take this chance to get the treasure along the way. Besides, this would be a huge help for me to fight that constellation.” Owner Bu spoke with a serious tone.
