265 Stronghold Ancien (1/2)

Jin Rou climbed the mountain slowly, carrying a leisure expression. He was enjoying the scenery with every step he was taking.

The titan-like green trees were shaking their twigs as if they were welcoming his presence. The birds chirped that made a melodious sound and other species danced in tune.

This place was haven for everyone. Not only it was giving a comfortable aura, it was also giving a cultivator a deeper dao comprehension that wouldn't be possible to exist outside of this place.

As Jin Rou passed by, the surroundings were changing. Flower background, Falls, More gigantic trees, everything changed as he continued to step forward. The universal laws and runic symbols were seemed to be very synchronized here.

But the thing here was, though it was very comfortable and soothing to the feeling, it was giving off a pressure that not just anyone was capable of enduring. In fact, even Fate Emperors might give up if they felt this kind of oppression.

However, of course, it wasn't taking an effect to Jin Rou.

Soon, after walking for a more than an hour, Jin Rou finally reached the peak of the mountain and what greeted him was a vast lake that had seemed to expanded to the horizon!

As the peak was already piercing the clouds, the scenery was very enchanting that anyone would no longer plan to leave this place.

The lake had a circulating runic symbols floating in the middle of the lake. One thing to take a note for was the behind these symbols, there was a person who was sitting in a lotus position. He seemed to be meditating with his closed eyes.

He was looking young. Probably in his early 30's. He had a water-blue hair that was shoulder-long. If we would talk about the looks, for sure, he could enter the top and hottest guys of Starlight.

He was handsome. So handsome that he was just a few levels below Jin Rou. In fact, out of all people Jin Rou met, this man was the only person who's almost near to him in terms of appearance.

Jin Rou knew that this man was in a critical situation, thus, he didn't disturb him and just waited there patiently.

Jin Rou also assumed a meditating position and closed his eyes. Even to him, this place was beneficiary.

The silence took several hours before the man inside the symbols finally opened his closed eyes. When he did, the dao and laws flashed in his eyes. The runic symbols began circulating rapidly as it came into an explosion!

”Boom!” The lake was disturbed and created a surge of tsunamis all around the place. Though this was just a lake, if a commoner would be here, they would mistake this lake as a sea above the mountain because of its massive size!

After he stabilized himself, he looked at his hands and made sure if nothing was wrong. After confirming it, he looked at his surroundings and found a meditating young man not far away from him.

”Whoosh!” The guy was shocked to his core as he rapildy rushed over to Jin Rou's place in a hurry. He soon assumed a kneeling posture and said, ”Your Highness Jin Rou, I'm sorry for not meeting you personally. I... I...”

”No, it's okay.” Jin Rou opened his eyes and smiled, ”You are in a critical situation a while ago so I understand. Besides, don't stand in a ceremony here. There are only two of us here.”
