Chapter 816 Eternal Tomb

The sun dawned upon the world as the birds chirped in peace. It's already morning. Jin Rou was woke up by shadows who were tasked to receive him.

"Your ancestor thinks too highly of me. To receive me with powerful cultivators, I'm impressed." Jin Rou smiled.

The shadows didn't say anything and just guided Jin Rou to the path. There were still few people out so it's the best time to set out for an exploration.

After a few minutes, Jin Rou reached the entrance of Blissful Falls. As expected, there were only few people here. With the ancestor and Princess Chinu included, there were a total of 5 people.

"Young Master, we haven't brought many people so we wouldn't catch unnecessary attention. Do you think this is already enough?" Princess Chinu greeted Jin Rou. She was tasked to stay close to Jin Rou and make sure that she wouldn't miss any of his movements.

"More than enough." Jin Rou answered. In actuality, three would already be enough. But it was obvious that the ancestor was very cautious of him still. It was understandable after what happened last night.

The ancestor then said, "Then I'll be opening the door now.

The entrance of the Blissful Falls was large. It was a metal twin door with a dragon as its knob. The ancestor held the knob and the door reacted slowly with a deep creaking sound. After several seconds, the door was fully opened.

"I'll spearhead the trip." Jin Rou placed himself at the front and said, "Don't be far away from me or else I cannot guarantee your lives."

As they all entered, the twin door slammed heavily shut. The princess panicked but she was held by the ancestor.

"This is an eternal tomb." Jin Rou finally laid the information and said, "The Blissful Falls was created by the very Eternal who made the behind as his tomb."

The ancestor changed expression, "This is an eternal tomb...?"

Sword eternal was the next apex to reach after being a sword emperor. Outside the platform, its equivalent realm was epoch monarch. Eternals were too strong that they could slice the worlds in half if they wanted to. They were the top predators of the world along with epoch monarchs.

Currently, there was no news of alive eternal at the moment. Perhaps there was a few, but no one actually knew where they were. To actually think that they'd stumble upon an eternal tomb? Weren't their luck too down?

Firm Sword had never made an eternal in the past. However, the forefather was half step away from that realm. Too bad though, he mistakenly cultivated a sword dao.

"We have to leave." Princess Chinu urged. It was one thing for an emperor tomb. But eternal tomb? They're just throwing their lives here.

"Do you think it's possible now that the door is shut?" Jin Rou, unlike others, was still calm like the sea.

"This is different from confronting a sword emperor, Young Master." Princess Chinu tried to reason out, "If you only have told us this, we wouldn't have dreamt of exploring such a dangerous place."

"That's why I told you yesterday that it's dangerous. But did you listen to me?" Jin Rou smirked, "Your ambition to revitalize your declining lineage has led you to this situation, so who's to blame but yourselves?"

Princess Chinu wanted to say something but she didn't know what to say. Jin Rou was right. In desperation to find a cure, they thought that they could outdo this place as long as they dispatch strong cultivators on their side.

However, it was too impossible if it's an eternal tomb. Despite the eternal no longer here, the power and ancient sword dao of it must be lingering here, waiting to take their lives.

Seeing their expression, Jin Rou chuckled, "However, fret not. Just like I said, I will be here to protect your lives. Since it's a deal, I will make the ends meet."

He didn't wait for their response and moved. They wouldn't find anything if they stay in one place. The five closely followed but maintained a peculiar distance from him.

"Be careful of your steps from here on out. There are strings attached to certain tiles. Follow my steps closely if you want to live." Jin Rou warned. Currently, the room was filled with dangerous traps that could kill sword emperors. There were a hundred tiles in the room and 75 of it were filled with trap trigger.

So far, nothing happened as they followed the steps of Jin Rou albeit one was almost killed because of trying to step into a wrong tile voluntarily.

"If you want to kill yourself, don't drag your comrades down with you." Jin Rou looked at the stupid person who had gotten the bettter of him, "Ancestor, I'll leave the punishment to you."

"Rest assured." The ancestor almost sweated blood. This room was really filled with lethal traps! Even he would be killed immediately if he couldn't react in time.

After they passed the first room, there was a statue which blocked the path. It was a muscular and titanic statue with blood all around its stoned body.

"That is the eternal's right hand man." Jin Rou said, "He died protecting this tomb for billions of years."

"How do you know so much?" The princess wanted to ask but refrained from doing so.

The eyes of the statue turned red and shouted, "Intruders, leave at once!"

His voice was dominating and terrifying. He was a legendary commander under the banner of the eternal and served for so long. He fought millions of battles along with his master. As a matter of fact, even epoch sovereigns were killed by his hands.

"Old man, your master is already dead. Why are you still protecting this tomb?" Jin Rou asked, "His sentiments were no longer here, either."

"This is my master's sacred place and no one shall take the things out of here. If you create one more step, I will not hesitate to kill you all!" The statue roared once again. He was threatening the group to back off.

"Too bad, it isn't happening." Jin Rou shook his head with a snort.
