The Adventures Of The Young Master

"I didn't expect Firm to establish a lineage." The general clicked his tongue. Obviously, he had a past with the said emperor, "And to actually impart his sword dao law."

For sword emperors, their sword dao laws were very important. It was a part of their life that once it's missing, they wouldn't no longer be called emperors. They were sword emperors because of their sword dao laws, after all.

It's not easy for a sword emperor to share the dao law which he had painstakingly nurtured and modified to perfection.

"Firm indeed imparted his sword dao law. However, it's incomplete." Jin Rou commented, "Their forefather has not given the complete variation of law."

The ancestor was shook to hear this, "Young Master, what do you mean? Our sword dao is complete and well."

"Your variation today has 12 variations and such, right?" Jin Rou said, "Do you really think that your forefather will give everything because you are his descendants?"

"Isn't it supposed the case?" Princess Chinu asked. As far she knew, the forefather greatly loved his descendants that he gave everything he had. The official records stated that and she believed it.

"Then you don't know Sword Emperor Firm that much." Jin Rou chuckled, "The Firm Heart Sword Dao is his precious thing with acknowledged 12 variations. But those who cultivated this must be aware that there's something missing. It should feel like the 12 variations are connected to each other leading to a new world."

Princess Chinu was stumped. Jin Rou was right. After knowing the 12 variations, she felt that there's something missing but she couldn't pinpoint it. Even the ancestor fazed with this point.

"So there's a 13th variation?" The ancestor asked.

"There is, of course. That is what completed the Firm Heart." Jin Rou chuckled, "Although the 12 variations are already strong enough, it is still incomplete. Cannot exert the full strengthen of Firm Heart."

"Firm is very secretive, even in the past." The general snorted, "His descendants weren't even spared."

"That's natural. You cannot force someone to give something to you." Jin Rou said.

"And that applies to you too, Your Majesty?" The general laughed and spoke in a joking manner.

"Nope. Whatever I want, I will always have it. In this realm and above, no one has the right to decline my request even that old man above." Jin Rou smirked. He looked at the sky and his eyes pierced through the heavens.

"That's true." The general nodded, "Your Majesty, you can get the treasures you want but I don't think there will be something that could catch your eyes. Master has only a few scrap of metals here."

Those scrap metals must be heaven defying for others.

"I promised their lineage that I won't participate in the looting of the treasures. Let them have it." Jin Rou said and looked at the ancestor.

The ancestor immediately got it and forwarded his group to get the loots in the next room.

"You can get anything you want except for the stone in the middle, I'm warning you." The general's cold voice sounded.

"Yes, of course of course." The ancestor hurriedly nodded. They were all fishes on the chopping board here so they couldn't retaliate. Furthermore, it was already good enough that the treasures were being given to them. What more could they ask for?

The group hurriedly get the items they could. There were all sorts of treasures and dao stones. There was even a set of imperial swords created by a famous blacksmith in the past. After an hour, they were done with looting and left the room immediately. Of course, they didn't touch the stone in the middle as per warning.

"What will you do now? You have no reason to stay here." Jin Rou said.

"I'll still stay here." The general said, "Master isn't here anymore but this stone is like his precious baby. I couldn't just die and leave it here."

Only a few knew what kind of stone was fhis me and what could it do.

"The stone is dead. As long as no one is stupid enough to touch it, it's not going to be a calamity." Jin Rou said.

The stone was indeed capable of bringing calamities to the world. In fact, it had the power to destroy Thousand Realms if the energy within was full. All in all, it was a terrifying stone that not just anyone could own.

For many years, his master had been nurturing the stone. Unfortunately, his life was too short to witness what he wanted to do.

"Many are searching for this stone. If the word gets out, those hiding folks will not hesitate to risk the tribulation to gather here." The general laughed weakly. The stone was too strong that it carried too heavy responsibility.

"Fret not, those people aren't going to spill anything." Jin Rou said, "I guess you can bury or burn the stone with you."

"You don't want it, Your Majesty?" The general asked curiously. The stone should be a great help to him fighting the heavens with its horrifying and destructive power. In actuality, he was just waiting for Han Li to request for it and he'd be more than happy to give it. If there's a person deserving of owning this stone, it's Han Li.

"Just like you said, the hiding monsters will risk their lives once they know its existence. I don't want to ruin my peaceful life as of now." Jin Rou school his head. Those monsters could give him a headache if they swarmed towards him.

"Then I guess I'll just have to take it with me to the grave." The general said, "Please take care, Your Majesty. I won't be able to see your victorious return but I will root for you silently."

"You will live past that to see my gloriness." Jin Rou turned his back and said, "I'll be going now. I hope you rest well."

After he left, the general glanced one final look at where Jin Rou was a while ago before turning into a stone statue once again. They wouldn't be able to meet again, but he might be able to look from far away to watch Han Li.
