The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 784 - Crossing The Sea

The silhouette was silenced. Han Li had a point. They were two different entities who walked down different paths. Not to mention, their dao was also different from each other.

"Your path is full of failures and suffering." The silhouette said after a long time. There was an eternity ringing in its voice. Perhaps, its emotions were shaken to the core.

Jin Rou chuckled and said, "True. I cannot disagree with you on that. However, just like I said, failures are just stepping stones towards success. You gave up, while I don't and I'm not planning to."

"Many wise sages and apex monsters gave in, that includes beings stronger than you. Why can't you do the same? Isn't it better to live in peace?" The silhouette said. Many ages had past yet the memories were still vivid in its mind. It was used to be an arrogant entity that made the realms kneel down. However, when it saw true power, it eventually gave in.

"That's because they are cowards who cannot seek for the answers on their own." Jin Rou sneered. It's not a personal view of him, rather it's Han Li's.

His comment could earn the entire ire of old living fossils hiding. It could result to clan extermination and all. But who was Han Li? Should he be afraid of those existences who abandoned their humanities to be a coward under the heavens?

The silhouette sighed. Perhaps, only Han Li was the single person arrogant enough to said those things. Remember, even at its level, it was still careful with his words.

After that, there's a long silence ensued. Mabye hundreds to thousands of years passed in a blink of an eye, but in reality it's just a minute passing.

Long silence was broken when the silhouette said, "You aren't here just to visit me. What do you want?"

Now, they're back to the business. Jin Rou answered, "I want to see how miserable you are here in the Black Tidal Sea. And I want to tell you to keep your chicken in check."

"They are just moving aggressively for fun. You are going to leave this world anyway. Why do you care?" The silhouette knew what chickens the other party was talking about.

"Because this is my damn world, knight." Jin Rou snorted, "Your chickens are threatening the realm. It was already a miracle that I still don't kill them despite their future troubles they'd bring."

"If you want to kill them, you have to kill me first." The silhouette said with a cold tone. It didn't like being called knight as it resurfaced many unpleasant memories.

"Do you think you're unkillable because the others didn't manage to?" Jin Rou said, "It's true that you're difficult to kill, but there are certain methods for it."

The silhouette didn't comment on this. Since Han Li said it, it held a heavy credibility and it must be true.

Of course if Han Li wanted it, he could just pay the right price to kill the silhouette. With the silhouette gone, the chickens wouldn't dare to retaliate.

"Judging by your expression, it seems you're anticipating your death." Jin Rou smirked. The silhouette had lived for too long. If there was one relief it might wish, it's probably death.

"And?" It's not surprising that Han Li knew it.

"Nothing, with your unwithering lifespan, you can expect a longer time to live. Isn't it amazing? Many wanna be immortals try to have that kind of body like yours. However, they couldn't imitate it." Jin Rou said.

There were a few reasons why cultivators seek the dao. And one of the major reasons were immortality. Who would want to die? Perhaps a few, but many people wanted to live forever. The temptation of immortality was too much for people.

"However, I'm not an immortal. I still can die." The silhouette said.

"True. But the difference is, you are so close to that. Brilliant sages of the past spent billions of years to research it. Unfortunately, their efforts didn't bear fruit." Jin Rou answered. They were speaking as if they were close friends.

The silhouette didn't answer this and changed the topic," Are you going to the other side?"

It must be talking about the realm after crossing the Black Tidal Sea.

"Yes, there is a thing I have to get there. It's going to help me big." Jin Rou said and looked at the horizon. Despite being underwater, he could see the ends to ends of the sea.

"You're going to that place, where you have numerous enemies than here?" The silhouette spoke.

"I have many enemies, not just here and there. Many want to take my head. Unfortunately, they are just mere ants in front of me." Jin Rou chuckled, "Those people better be smart enough to hide when I walk over."

While Han Li had many enemies, he also had taken down numerous lineages and powerful sects. In that world, he was a butcher who shouldn't exist. His entire existence was a cheat itself to the world.

"Stop breaking the balance, will you?" The silhouette sighed, "The worlds cannot afford another dark era because of you."

"It will be up to them." Jin Rou stood up and said, "I have stayed here for long now. I'm going now. Remember the thing about your chickens."

"They won't cause trouble again, so don't worry." The silhouette assured.

"Then good." Jin Rou floated above towards the top of the water and didn't look back. This visit was only to calm the terrifying monsters causing trouble for the valley. He didn't know until when, but at least, the valley could make certain preparations to counter it.

Jin Rou continued traveling forward. There was no stop like what happened a while back. The sea was calm so there's no hindrance in Jin Rou's path. He had been traveling the sea for one month now. Finally, he reached the part where the fog was very thick.

Jin Rou smiled. It's a sign that he was near in his destination. His small boat was ragged and almost destroyed. Fortunately, he already arrived to the destination he needed to go.

The Thousand Realms.
