The Adventures Of The Young Master

The Omniland was a barren and deserted place with no habitation. It was considered as one of the most dangerous locations in the entire history of Thousand Realms. Because of this, the sages spent a tantamount resources to annex the place. It was not a joking feat for the sages despite their power levels. After all, many heroes had already died in that place.

For Jin Rou to say he would so something there, it just meant that he'd do something big.

"I will just finish a long lost task. I should have done this before." Jin Rou didn't get into the details but it was true that he'd do something there, to end a tie.

"I see." Shufeng didn't pry any further. He knew the personality of Han Li which he didn't like being asked so many questions, "We will immediately prepare for departure after the giveaway event, Your Majesty. As we have already declared, we shall do it."

Shufeng had always been true to his words. They only appear in Sword Platform every once in a long while. So he would give treasures away. It had been their tradition since the first master.

"No problem. I'm not in so much rush." Jin Rou answered, "

After that, Shufeng personally appeared in the public and gave the treasures away. Those weren't useful to their land and it would be to others, so it's not actually a loss for them. Moreover, it would boost their prestige and the respect of the people would soar.

By the end, almost all of the groups received a treasure. Many were excited to go home and test its qualities. After all, they had yet to know what's inside since it's sealed. It would only unseal once they were already outside of the plateau.

Shufeng proceeded to go to Han Li's chamber and reported, "Your Majesty, it's already done. We can depart anytime three hours from now."

The visitors were already told that they must leave in a matter of three hours with the reason that the plateau would have an emergency situation. Many assumed that it's going to be something scary thus they didn't wait the three hours and immediately left. They didn't want to be caught in an unfamiliar crossfire.

After two hours, the visitors had fully left the plateau and it was ready to go.

"You're so submissive, I'm not used to it. Back then, you are an arrogant brat." Jin Rou jokingly said to Shufeng. In the past, Shufeng tasted Han Li's cruel power too. Fortunately, he lived to have a chance to tell the tale.

"Please, Your Majesty. It's embarrassing." Shufeng smiled wryly. He was nothing but old bones now. Even he, a prodigy of his era and a successful cultivator, couldn't avoid the erosion of time.

Those who heard this looked at each other, awkward. They didn't know what to think and say so they remained silent.

"Is he still alive?" Jin Rou asked out of a whim. There's no need to say who was he talking about.

"Honestly, I don't know, Your Majesty." Shufeng sighed. The person had disappeared all of a sudden and never appeared again. They assumed that he ascended and continued his dao path. Nevertheless, there was no confirmation or whatsoever.

"Then let it be. He has his own choices. It's his life, so he has the right to control it." Jin Rou said. Han Li always taught his disciples to always grab their fates away from fate itself. Be the master of their own. No one should ever dictate them of their life choices.

Shufeng nodded solemnly. It had been so long since his disappearance and it didn't matter if he's still alive. The person had already done enough help for them to go by.

"Let's go." Jin Rou said, "We can talk while the plateau is moving."

Shufeng immediately went off and started the plateau. The coordinates had already been set, so they would just wait to arrive there.

"Your Majesty, please taste this tea. I have found this during our exploration of the Wild Seas." Shufeng brewed a tea and served it to Jin Rou. It was a precious tea that he seldom use. Han Li was a fanatic of tea, so it was his way of gaining points.

Jin Rou sipped a bit of the tea and nodded, "I never expected you will really find Bahamut Green Tea Leaves."

"Your Majesty, this is my show of dedication to you. Of course, I cannot disappoint you despite the low chance of meeting you again." Shufeng smiled. It took millions of years before he found the tea leaves in the vast Wild Seas, but it was all worth it now despite the resources he spent.

"You are indeed dedicated. Very well, since you're so attentive, I will grant you one request while I'm here. Go on." Jin Rou said. He was in a good mood, and a reward was due.

Many were shaken to hear this. A request from His Majesty? They read the ancient records of Han Li's way of doing things after he arrived here. And it was said that a single request from him amounted to fortunes of many generations.

"Your Majesty, how about you teach me your dao essence?" Shufeng was brimming with smile.

The dao essence was the outline of one's sword dao. It served as lines of where to follow for further advancements. For someone like him, the dao essence of Primordial Emperor was the best thing he could have.

"Are you sure? You don't even know if my essence aligns with your sword dao." Jin Rou smiled.

"Master has told me that if ever I get a chance to receive a reward from you, I should never use it for anything except your dao essence." Shufeng said. He was nervous but the temptation of the dao essence was too much to take.

"That prick." Jin Rou shook his head. He remembered according to Han Li that Black Sword was a playful guy during his youth. He even pulled pranks on Han Li despite the danger he might face. Now, he even shamelessly taught his apprentice of how to be shameless like him.
