Chapter 573 - The Upper Immortal
Jin Rou just wanted to strike a conversation with Esdat, which he found interesting. And he discovered that the other party was such an upright person that you probably couldn't shake of temptations. Well, it might be depending on the level of the temptation.
Esdat observed Jin Rou for a while before saying, "How do you say so?"
"Well, just a plain first impression that I have." Jin Rou smiled, "But you see, my eyes are always good with judging people."
"I think that whether I have many enemies here on out or none are none of your business." Esdat coldly cut off Jin Rou.
"What a bastard." Zacharite was fuming when he heard Esdat's words, "For a human, you are quite brazen. Are you looking for death?"
Esdat creased his brows and coldly snorted, "I advise you not to cause any scene and trouble here. This isn't the Great Hell where you can do anything."
Zacharite still wanted to say something when Jin Rou shook his head, "Let him be. You have to be patient. We cannot make a trouble unless I have found her."
Hearing this, Zacharite could only grit his teeth and try to calm his nerves down.
"Please be good." Seeing that Zacharite calmed down, Esdat took a deep breath and said, "Our headquarters isn't easy to bully. We might not be part of the strongest powerhouses in this region, but we still have some weight."
"We aren't going to bully you, so rest assured." Jin Rou chuckled and said, "But I want to ask you some things.
"If it's something I can answer, then sure I will." Esdat also found Jin Rou interesting. He was here inside the headquarters where newcomers always tremble in fear yet he was okay.
"We are new in Upper Immortal. Can you perhaps give us some information about this?" Jin Rou smiled.
Esdat looked at the clock and saw that there was still free time to waste, so he didn't mind explaining things.
The Upper Immortal was consisted of three regions. The Wind Region, Infinite Ocean Region, and Mortal Region. Each region was so vast that even the largest continent that Jin Rou traveled was nothing but a speck of dust.
Currently, they were in Mortal Region which was under the governance of Mortal Disaster Palace, one of the strongest powerhouses of the whole Upper Immortal.
"Mortal Region." Jin Rou nodded, "What are the strong powerhouses under Mortal Disaster Palace?"
"High and Low Divination Sect, Thorn Knights Clan, and Disastrous Gate." Esdat answered, "These are the three strongest powerhouses that you shouldn't dare to offend. They are all quite fierce and prideful and arrogant. They don't care about lives of other people unless it benefits them."
Esdat paused for a moment and resumed, "After all, they have Quasi-Immortals and Half ones. And many origin and true origin level of cultivators."
The whole Upper Immortal was consisted of the strongest cultivators ranging from Origin, True Origin, Quasi-Immortal and Half-Immortal.
"I see. The strongest great demon of Great Hell is on Quasi-Immortal level." Jin Rou murmured. After that, he asked Esdat again, "Why there are only Half ones?"
"Perfect Immortals are just part of legends. At least, that's what I know." Esdat shook his head, "However, there is a rumor circulating that the three strongest powerhouses have Perfect Immortals resting on a sacred ground."
"Now this is interesting." Jin Rou was looking forward in meeting these immortals in the next few days, "One last question."
"Ask away." Esdat coolly said.
"Do you have any knowledge regarding the Clan of Mermaids?" Jin Rou asked. This was the most vital thing he has to know.
"They are located in the Infinite Ocean Region, very far away from here." Esdat answered, "Not just that, even if you reach their place, they won't entertain you as they usually hate humans."
"Why would they hate the humans?" Jin Rou was puzzled.
"I really don't know about the clear story about it. But I heard that a human who once trusted by their Poseidress betrayed her and even hurt her." Esdat said, "That happened a very long time ago, and I don't think anyone still know about the truth that transpired."
Esdat looked at Jin Rou and asked, "Why do you ask this? Do you perhaps intend to go to their place? I'm advising you, you will be lucky if they don't make a mincemeat out of you. Even Mortal Disaster Palace suffered from them, much less for an unknown person like you."
"Well, I really don't wish to cross paths with them. But I have to retrieve a person from them." Jin Rou smiled wryly. Schwal Coffin was there and he was sure now. After all, he could now feel her aura, albeit weak.
"You're seeking for death, if that's the case." Esdat snorted coldly, "The Clan of Mermaids is the leading powerhouse of the Infinite Ocean Region, on par with Mortal Disaster Palace."
"I don't care. I just wanted to retrieve a person and I'm good to go." Jin Rou shook his head, "I just wish they will grow some real eyes not to cause trouble themselves."
Esdat didn't understood what Jin Rou was talking about but he let him be. If he wished to seek death that much even after his warnings, he wouldn't care now, "If you don't have anymore questions, you may leave now."
"Thank you for answering my queries, Mr. Esdat." Jin Rou smiled and said, "As a payment for that, I can help you break that bottleneck you are experiencing in order to advance to the Origin level."
"How did you...?" Esdat was sure that he kept his cultivation hidden very well. Yet, the other party still managed to see through him and even identified his problem? Now, his view of Jin Rou changed dramatically. If a while ago, he was looking at Jin Rou like he was an inexperienced child, now he was looking at the other party like a hidden master!
"Just counted my fingers, easy as pie." Jin Rou laughed, "So how about it? If you don't want to, I can't force you though. You can just find a better method which you can trust."
