Chapter 247 - Palace Of Stones
Chapter 247 - Palace Of Stones
"Youngmaster, are you sure that we will really leave things like this?" Xioafan Bu (Owner Bu) asked with worry.
His worry had a point there as so many eyes had seen Jin Rou how he razed the monarchs to the ground.
And in Owner Bu's knowledge, this constellation was a bit prideful to say. Well, being an apex being of a constellation, they really had the word to become arrogant and prideful.
So speaking of this, with how big the losses this constellation suffered, it would be unlikely that they would just sit back and swallow their anger.
After all, if they took this lying down, wouldn't it mean that they were intimidated by a member of the younger generation? And if the other constellations were to catch wind of this, they would surely be the center of mockery.
And this was something that a prideful entity like them couldn't take.
"Don't worry, if they are smart, they will not do anything so stupid." Jin Rou said, "But if they still don't realize what they should do, they leave me no choice."
Saying that, a glint of light flashed in Jin Rou's eyes. Owner Bu had seen this obviously and it gave him a cold chill running down his spine.
Such an overpowered being. Just the aura Jin Rou emitted in battle a while ago was something that Owner Bu wouldn't dare to receive head on.
Owner Bu was praying that those people shall be granted with eyes that could see a mountain. If in case that they really kicked this gargantuan golden plate called Jin Rou, it might be the end of this constellation. With the unfathomable power Jin Rou possessed, there would surely be no one to stop him here in this realm. Perhaps there would be a few in the True Realm.
"So where are we going now? After a long pause of silence, Jin Rou asked Owner Bu. They were heading east from the Leaf Sword Sect and by using his God's Eyes, Jin Rou could see a town made of pure stone. Thus, he was curious why Owner Bu led him to this direction.
"We are heading to a place called, Palace of Stones." Owner Bu briefly answered, "That place is still a part of this constellation, but it wasn't created by Ethereal Forestking."
The Palace of Stones could be said the most mysterious place of this constellation, and could be said, the greatest and last defense of Havenleaf. It was said that this place was impregnable because of the mysterious and difficult to decipher dao runes inscribed in each stone.
Not to mention that, this place was also where the corpse of the Ethereal Forestking were glorified!
According to the legends, Ethereal Forestking had fought a devil to the death here. And while he defeated the devil, he also died afterwards due to the grave injuries he had.
They said that the battle was spectacular and awe-inspiring. But what was more amazing was that the stones of the place had never been destroyed or even moved! The Palace of Stones had remained how it was despite the world-destroying intensity of the battle.
"Palace of Stones huh." Jin Rou rubbed his chin and said, "Well, it's not that we are in a hurry. So let's go take a look."
—
"We are here." said Owner Bu in a speechless manner, "This place... is truly jaw dropping."
What met Jin Rou and Owner Bu there were buildings almost towering to the sky. Countless buildings made of black stone was there that anyone would think they entered a new world. The structures were grandiose that even Jin Rou praised this.
"Indeed, beautifully done." Jin Rou praised as he walked in with Owner Bu in tow. The sky here in this place was very beautiful like a rare flower. It magnificently complemented the entire place.
It was like a place of holy beings. With each Ethereals at the peak of each towers.
If not for the fact that Jin Rou was aware that this was still part of Starlight, he would have already thought that this was another space dimension.
But he knew that it was impossible to move such a dimension like this with a power of an Ethereal. Well, it might be possible with other space dimensions except this kind.
Owner Bu couldn't get over with how beautiful this place was. He tried to hide his excitement only to reveal it more. Jin Rou chuckled but he didn't say anything.
In the past, Owner Bu had dreamed of coming into this place. After all, they said that this place was very magical and mysterious that no matter how puny your talent was, you would be able to breakthrough without difficulties to speak of.
However, as things got complicated on his part, he abandoned the idea and left the Havenleaf for good. But, he promised himself that he would go back here if he were to be given a chance.
And now, the promise has been fulfilled. This was the first time Owner Bu could see the world without any worry, without any enemies behind him. Thus, Jin Rou had let him be.
Jin Rou was roaming his gaze around, trying to search for something that might catch his attention. After a short search, he finally found a stone tower and was planning to enter it to check it out.
However, just when he was about to step inside, a group of youths appeared and wanted to enter at the same time.
Seeing that Jin Rou wanted to enter, one of the 3 youth sneered and said, "Move. This place is for His Highness. Search for another stone tower. Move now while I'm still being merciful."
Hearing the words filled with arrogance and mockery, Jin Rou could not help but smile, "I am the first one here. So you all should be the one to move. And you see, while I'm still nice, you better get moving now or else you might die without knowing how and why."
