Remember, Icefairy was one of the Nine Heavens Asura. Being part of it, her power was guaranteed as one of the best. However, she still had to give it to the monk?

"Anyway, that is none of your concern. Your master and Aida are getting along well and there's no issue between them." Jin Rou said and flicked his fingers, "I'll be changing locations right now. I need to go to another certain person."

He paused for a moment and said, "However, I cannot take you as it is a very dangerous place. So you go back first in the academy and I'll follow suit after I deal with this matter."

"I understand." Zia wanted to ask what kind of urgent matter he needed to attend but regarding his personality, he might not tell it to him.

After that, Jin Rou created a separate way for Zia and said, "Take this route. It will lead you the entrance of the academy. I will take this another route here."

Zia nodded and took the route Jin Rou told her to while the latter took the other side.

In a very secretive place filled with fog, a place that couldn't be found in the map.

Jin Rou was walking down a cemetery and a huge ground of dead plants. The ground was emitting a very foul odor from below but Jin Rou was used to this kind of smell, thus it wasn't a problem.

Jin Rou continued on walking until he finally reached a large ruined coliseum. It was filled with dark energy and hatred as if many souls were trapped here.

No one would ever dare to enter this place, perhaps only Jin Rou had the guts to do so.

After Jin Rou entered the place, what met him was a huge throne by the end of the coliseum. Furthermore, there was a black figure sitting on it.

Fog. He wasn't very famous but those of the higher levels knew him very well. No one knew his exact identity but no one dared to antagonize him. As a matter of fact, even monarchs and lords were very wary of his existence.

He only appeared in the world when he wanted to have a transaction with a certain individual and disappear after it.

"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise right now." Finally, Fog talked as he opened his eyes. His being was filled with blackness thus no one could say who he was, "And you are still alive after that."

"How can I die when that hateful Heavens is still kicking?" Jin Rou find something to sit and sat there, "It has been a while since I saw you, and I can say you have gotten older."

"No one can evade the erosion of time." Fog spoke with a calm tone, "Not even you despite of your level, you know that."

"I know. However, there are some ways to delay its erosion albeit very expensive to do so." Jin Rou said.

"Well, enough of that. What brings you here?" Fog asked. With Han Li's personality, he knew that there's something going on. Han Li wouldn't visit him if it wasn't an important matter.

Of all people, Han Li was the only person who could come and go as he pleased. After all, he was an extremely powerful being that Fog wasn't confident in defeating against. In fact, of all the existences Fog had met, Han Li was still the biggest threat of all, an impossible wall to overcome.

"I heard that you paid Aida a visit." Jin Rou said with a smirk, "You even went through the lengths of using the Buddhist Seed Light to entice him."

"I did. But as you knew already, he declined it." Fog shrugged his shoulder. When he's making business transactions, there were only a handful of people who dared to decline his generosity. And all of them were followers of Han Li.

"Are your preparations to clear the Glory Sky done?" Jin Rou asked.

"That's right. My preparations are done. All I need to do now is to set the deed into place." Fog nodded, "However, I need Aida's Buddhism Dao to overcome a certain point in Glory Sky."

In the past, Fog had entered Glory Sky along with three Dao Monarchs and two Imperial Lords he enticed to join him. The ultimate treasure and the other treasures by it was too tempting for them.

However, the clear mission resulted in an absolute failure and the team was almost wiped out except for Fog and a single lord. The rest were killed and didn't manage to see the light of day again.

Fog was heavily injured by that time despite having life-saving treasures of abundant quantity and needed to lay low for millions of years to recuperate.

Along with this were certain preparations and planning to challenge the Glory Sky once again. It took him 100 million years or so before his preparations for the second attempt reached its completion.

"You need Buddhism Dao?" Jin Rou was curious, "Elaborate."

Fog pursed his lip but he eventually answered, "During the 4th point, an ominous dark gaseous flames engulfed the monarchs I am with. It was tragic and gory scene to be exact."

According to the experts who cleared Danger Zones in the past, it was consisted of five points. The team had to clear all points to successfully clear the entire Danger Zone. And of course, the ultimate treasure awaits at the last point.

Out of seven Danger Zones that were created by the world, four were already cleared and three were not, Glory Sky included. And of all the three uncleared zones, Glory Sky took the most many lives the most.

"I see." Jin Rou nodded. He experienced the zones too and as a matter of fact, had cleared one already. But this was a top secret information that was never released, "That's why you're asking for Aida as his dao in Buddhism is very thick but light."

He paused for a moment before resuming, "However, it's not enough if you think about it. For sure, you have tried using Buddhist treasures against it but it wasn't effective.. There's no guarantee that Aida would be effective during the 4th point." historical
