Jin Rou and Icefairy had a few more talks before the former eventually living. The latter couldn't be in physical existence for a long time as she was also being monitored by many unknown eyes. Furthermore, she had already aged and she could no longer exert power during her peak. Nevertheless, she was still a terrifying monarch that still retained her position as the 9th rank Nine Heavens Asura.
"The times are changing again." Icefairy looked at the place where Jin Rou stood and sighed, "Why do I feel like in this generation, His Majesty's challenge will be the last?"
It was a weird feeling. Moreover, she felt like His Majesty was a different being compared to what she knew about him. In anyway, Jin Rou still wanted to challenge the Heavens and that fact would be the most talked if ever it came out.
After some pondering, she returned to her nest and rest. She may still look young but that's because she preferred it this way. However, her power was no longer at the peak during her youth.

Jin Rou and Teacher Fairy were traveling together in a space and the latter was getting excited and nervous at the same time. After all, she was with a legendary existence that even monarchs were afraid of offending. Furthermore, it already answered her questions regarding how could he easily pass by the academy.
Jin Rou was calculating the location once per three seconds. The treasure vault was set up in a complicated place that no one could see or trace. Thus, even Han Li himself had to this despite knowing the exact location.
After a thousand or more calculations, Jin Rou and Teacher Fairy finally reached a certain place.
It was a large farm with a small hut. The farm had many different types of plants and vegetables. Of course, the growing plants here weren't ordinary ones but something that could help cultivators along their journey for the dao. The two walked by the small free line in the middle of the farm. Jin Rou was walking casually but Teacher Fairy didn't dare to be casual and remained her feet by the thin free line. She knew she couldn't afford to destroy any of these wondrous plants. If ever she did, she might be abandoned by her master.
After which, two figures appeared. Apparently, they were woman who had a maid outfit. Although their faces weren't that beautiful compared to Teacher Fairy's, their bodies were seductive enough to make a man beg for them. Not to mention, they were excluding a very powerful aura which shook Teacher Fairy to the soul.
"Imperial Lords...?" To her surprise, these two in maid outfits were actually Imperial Lords! And not just ordinary lords at that, they were excluding the magnificent aura of a High Dao Lord but she wasn't still sure.
What was a High Dao Lord? This was a realm that only a very few lords could attain in their lives. As a matter of fact, there were only two persons who were confirmed to achieve this final form of Imperial Lord.
But now, two women who were not so old achieved this? It was inconceivable and anyone wouldn't believe it even if she told the tale about it.
"Young Master, you came back." Iris, one of the maids who had a white hair, hugged Jin Rou as if he was a lost lover for a long time, "We missed you so much."
Jin Rou was taken aback by this show of affection but he didn't reject it. Iris was one of the disciples Han Li had painstakingly nurtured thus the affection of the woman was too deep.
"Seeing Young Master being healthy like this, our worries are unfounded." Sirin, the other maid with a black short hair, "Truly not even the Heavens is capable of contending against you."
Jin Rou smiled after hearing this. Then he asked, "Where is he?"
"The master is inside, please enter Young Master." Sirin smiled. She then gestured Jin Rou to enter the small hut.
"Please accommodate the woman I am with, I'll be entering now." Jin Rou said and looked at Teacher Fairy, "You wait here."
Teacher Fairy nodded immediately as to acknowledge the words. After that, Jin Rou held the door to the hut and pushed it open sounding with a creak. Then, he entered the hut and his back disappeared.
Iris neared Teacher Fairy with all smiles and said, "This sister here, let's go to the mini balcony of our hut, we will prepare some snacks for you while waiting."
Hearing that, Teacher Fairy nodded and went with the two maids.

Jin Rou entered the mini hut and what met him was a large universal platform with billions of stars shining in the galaxy sky. There were also rotating milky ways and meteors flying one after another. This was a place that not even the strongest monarch had the luxury of having.
It was one of three Han Li's Galaxy Vault. And just like this vault, the two were also heavily guarded by unexpected guardians.
"I thought that the treasures here all mine now since you have not appeared in the world for a long time after the Eighth Challenge. Ahh, I'm so disappointed." And suddenly, a young voice sounded the entire space.
Jin Rou was very familiar with this voice as it was one of Han Li's most trusted aides, "Little Hong, it's been a while. The two maids missed me, but how about you?"
A small figure appeared. He looked like a child but those who knew him would be terrified to see him and run away. Being one of the limbs of Han Li during the Fifth Challenge and returned alive, anyone wouldn't dare to antagonize him.
"Why would I miss you? I badly want you to die, no? So that the treasures here will be mine." Little Hong snorted. Only Han Li had the right to call him Little Hong of all people.
"If I die and you covet my treasures, you know that the other guardians of my Galaxy Vaults wouldn't let you live." Jin Rou chuckled. His vaults were remained untouched because he assigned people of extreme levels of cultivation guard it.. Of course, it wasn't for free.
