Chapter 986 Ancient Tree
"Young Noble, where have you been?" Fiarra asked, "If you're going to be away, please leave us a note so that we will know what we should do."
Jin Rou's disappearance almost give her a mini heart attack. Fortunately, he was now here and she could breathe in relief.
"Just a small incident happened." Jin Rou didn't explain further and said, "Let's go. We will go somewhere."
The two didn't know where they would go but they just had to follow the Young Noble. Fiarra packed up the food she made and preserved it in a warm space inside her inventory to keep its freshness and taste.
Then, the trio flew over to the highest mountain of Hundred Dragons Plateau.
"This is rumored to be the Ancient Dragon Tree." Andreo said. He was very knowledgeable about things in Dragon Sky since he stayed here for long now, "Rumors have it that it was the ancient tree that Hundred Dragons used in the past to heal his injuries from the battle."
It's not a top secret, and just circulated as a rumor. During the era of Hundred Dragons, he got entangled in a deathly battle and almost lost his life there. Fortunately, he found this tree and created the foundation of plateau regarding this.
Still, no one proved this right and just passed on as a grapevine, no more no less.
"Hmm, rumors are sometimes the truth and most of the times the false." Jin Rou responded, "Why do you think Hundred Dragons had created the plateau?"
The two shared a look and answered at the same time, "To be his eternal resting place?"
Fiarra added, "Or maybe to leave something to his descendants?"
Jin Rou chuckled when he heard this, "Hundred Dragons didn't mate with other woman dragons, an offspring is not possible. Well, for the resting place, it sounds right half."
Anyway, Jin Rou didn't explain more as he said, "You two will train here along with the tree. Climb it up or whatever you want to do. Don't miss the opportunity it might give you."
"This ancient tree can give opportunity?" Andreo was surprised. It was the first time he heard this about the tree.
"Yes and no. It depends on one's luck and timing." Jin Rou picked up a small twig, "Remember, no matter how talented you are, getting an opportunity here is not easy so you have to drive yourself hard and to the limits."
"Are you going somewhere, Young Noble?" Andreo asked.
"I'm just going to take a look something down the tree." Jin Rou then hopped, "I'll be looking forward to the rewards you will get here."
Soon, Jin Rou disappeared and the duo were left.
"Do you have any idea how can we get some opportunities here?" Fiarra asked. Their Young Noble wouldn't answer this even if they asked so she didn't bother. He said that it's up to them no matter what they do.
"I don't." Andreo shook his head, "The Young Noble didn't say much about this. But I guess we can do anything we can? For sure, the Young Noble left us here because he thinks that we can do it."
Fiarra found this plausible. With their talents, they should have no problems in getting some luck here. But she remembered that Jin Rou said something that talents here were meaningless.
Andreo walked over on the branch of the large ancients tree and touched it, "This tree is still alive despite the long years of being here as the plateau's foundation. For sure, the rewards here will be exceptional."
"The more reason we have to get the opportunities. After all, we cannot shame Young Noble." Fiarra was determined. Furthermore, they were the talents of their lineages. If they couldn't do this, their ancestors would probably look at them with disappointment.
Jin Rou had already spoonfed them and yet they couldn't get something? That's ridiculous.
---
While the two were trying to find the opportunities for themselves, Jin Rou had already reached his destination. Since the bottom part of the place couldn't be seen, Jin Rou's descent took time.
Anyway, he was already here and the place was dark, extremely. Jin Rou had to use his eyes to navigate his direction. No one knew the reason why he's travelling this unknown and dark place.
Soon, he reached a lake and touched the water with his bare hands. He couldn't help but smile when he realized something, "I knew it. This is part of a dao source."
Right after when Jin Rou stepped on the tree, he suddenly felt something familiar yet he couldn't describe it. Thus, he decided to go here. Who would have thought that he would found a lake which was part of a dao source?
Take note, dao source were the very foundations of lineages. The richness and thinness of the dao source would determine the rise or decline of the lineage. The richer the dao source was, the higher the chances of a sect rising. The thinner it was, the more it would suffer decline.
While this lake was connected to the dao source, the question was, where it was connected to?
Jin Rou closed his eyes and activated his senses. He had to solve countless mysteries before uncovering the fog where the lake was connected to.
And upon knowing the answer, he laughed and said, "It seems like my day has full of fateful encounters today."
After saying that, he dived into the lake to go to the dao source it was connected to. He swam deeper and deeper. With his power level, he could instantly ignore the intense water pressure in the deep waters.
Soon, he saw a small light passage and entered it.
A brand new world embroided his eyes as he look at the surroundings. The dao source in the middle was the most noticeable thing and the background was like a farm. The sky was had metal clouds and the sun was made of metal too. It was bizarre and Jin Rou's reaction couldn't be explained.
