Chapter 513: The Emperor's Invitation

Everyone was once again stumped by the sudden turn of events. Just a while ago, these three generals supposedly to die yet now they were spared. It was too much to imagine so many happenings in a single moment. Nevertheless, they marked the young man's facial features in their faces and would be sure to warn their descendants.

If even an ancient emperor was paying respect to this man, what could their mere sects and clan could do against him if they antagonize him?

Raybook Ancient Emperor walked over to Jin Rou with a smile on his face and said, "Daoist Friend, it is my honor meeting someone of your level. Perhaps you can grant me the grace of serving you tea while giving me dao pointers?"

It was an official invite from an emperor. Everyone would be ecstatic and jump around in happiness. Just think about it, it's the emperor himself inviting you over. It was one of the most prestigious achievements you could boast about. Of course, it was only applicable to those seeing emperors as gods.

Jin Rou observed Raybook with a smirk on his face and answered, "Sure, why not? I have been taking a liking to your attitude. I can't say no to that. But please just call me Young Master. It's what they usually call me."

Jin Rou knew that the emperor wouldn't dare to play tricks behind him. After all, he was very aware that he would just seek needless death if he ever did so.

"It's my honor, Young Master." Raybook swirled his fingers and a gate appeared, "After you."

Jin Rou nodded and entered the gate without further ado. Afterwards, Raybook followed suit and only the three generals left. But they knew they weren't qualified to enter the gate, so they created their own and used it. They needed to get back home to report the incidents here to the higher ups.

And that, it ended the little show of Avion Empire with the miserable defeat on their end.

"What a wonderful garden." Jin Rou couldn't help but be mesmerized. This place was full of white fragrant roses filled with light dao. It was very comfortable that even Jin Rou was affected. He tried to examine one rose and trace back its origin, and found that it was untraceable. Meaning, it was since time immemorial or perhaps the Creator hid it. Anyway, it was a beautiful place and a perfect one to die at.

"This place, I discovered it during my expiditions in the Heaven's Continent. I moved it here and hide it to become my seclusion place. It is perfect to train and hone your dao here." Raybook explained.

Jin Rou nodded. He had heard about the Heaven's Continent. It was the other continent after this Endless Forest Continent. That continent was almost twice this continent and was said to be the home of heavenlies. But even in that place, the heavenlies remained a legend existence. No one was there to prove it, or perhaps people were just silenced about it.

"What kind of place is the other continent?" Jin Rou asked with curiosity.

Raybook found it strange when Jin Rou asked this question. But he answered still while bringing two chairs and heating up a tea using a golden kettle, "The Heaven's Continent, if we compare it to this continent, it is the real world."

"Oh? You mean, this continent is just the training grounds for someone like you?" Jin Rou said.

"You can put it that way, Young Master." Raybook laughed a bit and said. He graciously served the tea to Jin Rou, "Here, it is my most precious tea that could only be used twice. I don't know if it will be up to your liking, but please try."

Jin Rou took a sip from the teacup and nodded, "Good tea. Just finely brewed, nothing much to say. It's all in all perfect. It looks like you have also perfected the art of brewing tea."

"Well, that's true. I love tea so much that my skills improved by leaps and bounds after so many years I have secluded myself from the real world." Raybook smiled, "By the way Young Master, please don't mind me if I'm asking this but what is your purpose in coming here in this continent? Surely, you have no interest with the treasures here with your power level."

"You are saying words as if you really know my power level." Jin Rou laughed. He really found this emperor interesting.

"I don't know exactly, but I know you are far exceeded the limits of a human." Raybook said. He was confident of his institution and it never let him down for once.

"Hmm, how can I put this? I am here looking for a pearl. But its information is confidential so I cannot bring that up to you." Jin Rou answered.

"I see." Raybook nodded while contemplating, "I hope you will find that pearl Young Master."

"Of course, I will." Jin Rou laughed, "Anyway, I know that your connections as an emperor is wide, so I'd like to ask if where can I meet the nearest heavenly here?"

Raybook almost dropped the kettle when he was serving tea to himself upon hearing this. For the first time, he looked troubled and slowly answered, "Young Master, it is not like I don't want to answer you but heavenlies are seclusive beings that don't want to be recognized as real existences."

"So if you know their location, you cannot reveal it due to an oath related to their existences." Jin Rou understood what the emperor was trying to say, "No, it's okay. Don't worry about it. I just asked out of curiosity."

The emperor heaved a sigh of relief. He thought he would be forced to choke his oath and divulge the information regarding them. But Jin Rou was on point, upon getting in contact with a heavenly, you will be forced to make an oath that you had never seen heavenlies and they were just mere legends.

The emperor tried to search for the reason why it was like this, but after so many years it wasn't fruitful.
