Chapter 514 - Uncrossable Sea
Jin Rou didn't mind if he couldn't get the information he wanted. He would know it eventually as long as he traveled. However, he needed to have a better grip of the whole world and what it was consisted. Take note, the Creator didn't give him any clue of where to find that chaos pearl so he didn't know where to start.
"The Heaven's Continent, how could I get there?" Jin Rou asked. He could feel that the item wasn't here in this continent. It just meant that it was perhaps in the other continent.
Raybook took a sip of his tea before answering, "You have to cross the Uncrossable Sea."
"Uncrossable Sea? It means that it cannot be crossed according to its name, right?" Jin Rou asked.
"Yes, if you will cross it in normal circumstances it is really impossible to cross it. However, there is a one chance every five thousand years of the sea breaking apart. And that will be the time to cross. Of course, provided that you can reach the next shore, that is." Raybook was calmly explaining the method. He didn't hide anything and explained all he knew.
"Once every a few thousand years? I cannot wait that long." Jin Rou shook his head. He wasn't willing to stay that long here. If worse came to worst, he would just destroy that sea and cross it.
"Fret not, Young Master. You have came at the right time." Raybook laughed, "In three days, at midnight during the full moon. The Uncrossable Sea will once again break apart. It will be your chance to cross it."
"I see." Jin Rou nodded, "If it's that way, then good. I have nothing to say."
"But please be advised, Young Master." Raybook warned, "Don't underestimate the Uncrossable Sea even if it was halved. There are full of dangers there. Even I almost died there when I traveled to the other continent."
It was true. Although the emperor made so much preparations for any unfortunate incidents, it wasn't enough as he was still gravely injured by enemies around there. Take note, he had emperors along with him too. Yet they were played at by the enemy.
"I'll take note of that." Jin Rou knew that the other party was just advising him out of goodwill. So he accepted it, "But if you can tell me, what kind of enemies are there lurking in the Uncrossable Sea?"
"Darkness." Raybook answered with a grave tone.
"Darkness?" Jin Rou wasn't expecting to hear this term once again. Even this world was contaminated with those existences?
"Yes, they are always lurking in the Uncrossable Sea, waiting for their victims. They always target emperors as their meals. They are very powerful. Even with my full power, I can only injure one of them slightly." Raybook was remembering that awful experience and his hand shook, "That's why not everyone here is willing to cross it. It is filled with extreme dangers."
Who would have thought that one of the most brilliant emperors suffered tragic defeat while crossing? Perhaps no one saw it except his peers, but it was despair-inducing for the emperor and must felt like he cultivated in vain. Nevertheless, it wasn't a shameful defeat. We were talking about darkness here, that even Jin Rou struggled to defeat.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of those guys in the sea." Jin Rou assured, "So that next time when you like to cross it, you can with ease and comfort."
"You don't have to go that far, Young Master." The emperor shook his head. He wasn't expecting much, "As long as you can safely cross it, then it's good. But please prepare sufficiently for that."
"Alright." Jin Rou nodded. He didn't need to prepare, because he was always prepared as usual. He would never move unless he was prepared enough. That was his character. He tend to underestimate enemies sometimes but his guard was always up.
The two talked for two more hours, but the topic this time was about the dao. Jin Rou gave the emperor pointers on what he should change to improve himself and be stronger in a way that could be easily understood. The place was filled with dao particles dancing as it agreed with every points Jin Rou say.
"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master. This is a grace that I will never ever forget in this lifetime. If you need me to travel with you to cross the Uncrossable Sea, I am more than willing to be your shield." Raybook didn't expect that he would learn so much from this and was full of gratitude. He bowed to Jin Rou with full of respect.
"No, it's okay." Jin Rou accepted the gesture and said, "Just train here. This place is very beneficial for you. I have given you pointers to make it to the heavenly realm. It is up to you if you can reach it."
"I'll be stronger in order not to let you down." Raybook's respect for Jin Rou had reached its peak. The knowledge he learned right now was enough for him to topple the ranks of emperors and be a heavenly. If he became one, the Avion Empire's position would rise dramatically. This favor couldn't be repaid no matter how many times he try.
"Good." Jin Rou smiled. He could already see the bright future of this emperor. He would sweep across the oceans and seas with pride and arrogance to boot, "Then I'll be going now. I only have three days, so I need to go to the shore immediately."
Raybook immediately grabbed a map and handed it over to Jin Rou, "This is my most treasured map. It has the Uncrossable Sea and its shore there. You just need to touch the point where you want to go and you will be teleported there automatically."
"That magical?" Jin Rou was amazed. It was the first time he heard of this kind of map. He happily received it and said "Okay then. Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. This isn't enough to repay you." The emperor shook his head. Nevertheless, he grew happy upon hearing the gratitude.
