Chapter 581 - Infinite Ocean Region
Hearing this, Louise sighed in relief. After all, their guardian hadn't abandoned them yet. The palace master expressed the same. If the Ancient Tree Guardian were to be gone, it would created major changes that wouldn't surely be advantageous for the Mortal Disaster Palace.
"So, Young Friend, can you save our guardian?" Palace Master Uri smiled as he asked this question. Since Jin Rou dared to let the tree choose between two options, he should have the confidence to heal the guardian tree.
"Of course." Jin Rou chuckled, "However, I need something to proceed with the treatment."
"Please ask away. We will do everything to provide you what you need." Palace Master Uri said in a hurry. He wouldn't mind using the most precious treasures of their clan if it could save the tree. There was no equivalent worth for the Ancient Tree Guardian's life.
"I just need one since I have most of the materials needed." Jin Rou explained, "I need a stone which has been living since the start of time."
"What...?" Palace Master Uri didn't expect that in order to treat the guardian tree, he needed this type of stone!
Even Uncle Mu who was silent by the sidelines revealed a stumped expression.
A stone that lived since time immemorial. Although it truly existed, most of them were already owned by old masters, cultivating them to nurture themselves. After all, this type of stone was a huge boost and help for cultivators.
"I need that stone since I need to put its vitality to the tree. And of all the things I can think of, the stone of that type is the only possible thing that could sustain the needed life force of this tree." Jin Rou said. If there was no stone of such type, then this treatment would be all for naught. Although he had alternatives, it wouldn't be as good as this method. As a matter of fact, it was far from good.
"From what I know, there is a stone that fits you criteria." Palace Master Uri said as he shook his head, "But it is in the Infinite Ocean Region. It will be very dangerous as those fishes will not approve entry of anyone."
Jin Rou laughed and clapped his hands, "Perfect timing. I need to make a trip to that place. If that has the stone I needed, I don't getting it on the way."
Palace Master Uri wanted to ask what kind of reason Jin Rou had to venture to that dangerous place. Nevertheless, he zipped his mouth and nodded.
"I'll be going with Young Master." Louise said with determination, "It isn't right for the Young Master to dive into this danger alone. We are the one who need something, so we need to do something too."
"Young Miss, are you silly?" Uncle Mu couldn't help but be agitated, "That place is very dangerous. Even I don't dare to venture to that place because of its extreme danger. You will only be a deadweight for the Young Master."
Palace Master Uri also agreed with this notion, "Louise, that region isn't to be underestimated. With your measly cultivation, you will just offer yourself to those fishes. Let me come with this Young Friend."
Being an apex existence, Palace Master Uri wss confident that he could survive that place. So, he was the best choice to take this mission.
"Why are you all afraid? I'm here, so what can possibly happen to Louise?" Jin Rou chuckled, "Not to mention Half-Immortals, even Perfect Immortals need to weigh their pros and cons first before offending me."
Jin Rou was telling the truth. As the real apex existence who looked down on the rest, he had the right to say this. Of course, not everyone would believe him.
Take Palace Master Uri for example. He believed that Jin Rou was an expert, but he didn't believe that Perfects would have to thread carefully in his presence. Nevertheless, since it's the wish of the other party, they couldn't decline and said, "Since this is Young Friend's intention, then please take care of our Young Miss. She holds great importance in the Mortal Disaster Palace."
"Please be rest assured, nothing will happen to her." Jin Rou said with confidence, "One more thing I need to ask of, if you have a telportation scroll going to Infinite Region, let us use it."

The Infinite Sea Region was the home of sea races. With millions of islands around, one cannot travel this whole region even if he wished. After all, it truly felt like an infinity. It felt like there was no end to this region.
As of now, the region was off limits to outsiders and any violators would be punished severely.
Blooming Flower Island. It was where Jin Rou and Louise touched down after using the scroll.
Louise viewed the map and search for the Blooming Flower Island, "This island isn't owned by anyone. However, patrol of sea races constantly visit this place for an unknown reason."
"You actually have knowledge of this island." Jin Rou was impressed. There were millions of islands in this region. How could one possibly read everything about each island?
"I always read informative articles like this when I have the time, especially regarding the Infinite Sea Region." Louise answered with a humble tone, "This is nothing compared to your knowledge, Young Master."
"Alright, stop complimenting me." Jin Rou chuckled, "I expanded my senses to its limits to find that particular stone. And I can sense it, though it was very far from here."
Louise was shocked to hear this. To actually sense the stone using one's senses? Not to mention, it was very far away from here. What kind of ability was that?
"Stop dilly dallying. We need to find a way to go there." Jin Rou snapped the lady out of her daze, "If the said patrols were to visit this place and discover us, it will be more troublesome."
Louise nodded. They needed to move away before they arrive or else things would be complicated than she imagined.
