The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 255 - True Mountain

"Two out of four of us have died." Blujin could not help but sigh in powerlessness, "Will this spell the the downfall of our constellation?"

"Blujin, we will not fall." Trueknight said seriously, "Though we suffered an almost unbearable loss, we still have our dao lake."

Dao lake was the foundation or source why a constellation was still standing. If in case the dao lake were to be destroyed, it would surely spell catastrophe to the constellation. After all, the members of the constellation had absorbed the dao of the Ethereal the moment they were born.

Other than that, it would also weaken all members of the constellation and suffer a sure decline towards south.

Thus, this place was the place with the highest security. In fact, Saint Markuz was the guardian of the dao lake. But knowing how grave the situation outside, he could not help but come into being and left only an avatar guarding the lake.

Fortunately, nothing happened or else that would destroy them for good and for real.

"Trueknight is right." Saint Markuz agreed and smiled, "Mateflower and Duxiao died because of their own doing. To say it in easier words, they deserved their death."

The two sovereigns remained quiet. Indeed, they were killed because the enemy was stronger than them. This was the world of the jungle where the strong was the law. If you have the stronger fist, then you have the final say.

And being strong is justice. No matter if you're a savior or an evil, if you are the strongest, then you can make your own version of justice.

In fact, people have already their own version of justice that suited their beliefs.

Saint Markuz looked up into the sky and saw that dark clouds were coming and muttered softly, "Ah, the next days will be rainy."

Jin Rou and Owner Bu were already out of the territory of Havenleaf Constellation. They were flying south as Owner Bu had told him that he would have a business in a certain place.

After a few hours of flying, the pair finally reached the place.

It was a towering mountain with steps made of white stones. The mountain was gigantic enough to cover the entire vision of a person. One look and you could already determine that this mountain was very ancient. It was possible that this mountain was created as long as the Starlight Higher World.

Jin Rou examined the place and could feel an overwhelming sword dao at the top of this mountain.

"Youngmaster Jin, this mountain is called True Mountain. Rumors said that this was a mountain that came from the True Realm millions of years ago. No one knew why it descended here in Immortal though." Owner Bu gave a brief introduction about the place.

"I see. And this is your target place?" Jin Rou asked.

"Yes. I left an important treasure here that holds very dear to me. So since I have the opportunity to come back in Starlight, I might as well take this chance to get the treasure along the way. Besides, this would be a huge help for me to fight that constellation." Owner Bu spoke with a serious tone.

"Okay. Lead the way." Jin Rou acknowledged this, nodding his head.

The pair then climbed the mountain without any hindrance.

After 30 minutes, they finally reached the peak of the mountain and what met their eyes was a grand view below the mountain.

One could see the busy streets and markets in their vision. The tall and sky towering buidlings, and the flying beasts piercing the sky with their flight.

"..." Even Jin Rou was in a state of amazement. Who would have thought that this seemingly useless mountain had this kind of view at the top? Well, it might be deserving to be called a True Mountain if it was this way.

"True Mountain has almost no visitors at all. Though it was called True, there were no mysteries and laws to find here to seek enlightenment of the dao. There were no treasures in this place aside from mine, even. Many monarchs and sovereigns had already turned this mountain upside down, but to no avail." Owner Bu said as he was basking in the beauty of the view in front of him.

"That's why out of all places available, you chose to hide the treasure here. Since no one will suspect you." Jin Rou concluded.

"Indeed, with my strength like an ant here, who would think that I have a heaven-defying treasure in my store?" Owner Bu smiled.

Indeed, with no one being interested in this place, who would think that Owner Bu had such a treasure? But true, according to Jin Rou, this was a treasure on par with the World-Creating Compass! This was truly a treasure that even apex beings of this world would want to get.

"Alright. Then how about you get this treasure now and show it to me?" Jin Rou said.

"Of course, of course." Owner Bu could hear the urgency in Jin Rou's tone so he didn't delay it any longer and proceeded to do his thing.

After which, Owner Bu walked up to the center of the mountain and closed his eyes. Jin Rou kept his mouth shut as he watch this scene unfolding.

"Open!" Next, Owner Bu roared and a giant white seal made of a dragon's face appeared below Owner Bu's fit.

"Wheng!" Soon, the seal spun rapidly and gave off a blinding light piercing the clouds and sky.

"Break!" Then, Owner Bu shouted.

"Rumble!" Strong earthquakes began shaking the entire mountain. After a few minutes, the mountain seemed to have been cracked widely as the crack became a web-like one.

It looked like the mountain was being destroyed. However, this was not the case. A long and shining blue sword appeared after the blinding light disappeared. It was floating mid-air, revealing a majestic aura that it looked like a king of all swords.

Even the low quality swords in Jin Rou's storage were shaking.

Sure enough, this was a World Treasure.
