"No, he did that for himself." Jin Rou shook his head, "In order to save himself, he had to turn his back to the responsibilities he carried. He couldn't take the pressure of it and chose to be a coward for the rest of his life."

This was a very distant past that there wouldn't be any records regarding this. This happened way back a long time before Han Li was born so he should have any information regarding this. But through trillions of years of being with the dao, he learned so many things that not even the oldest overlords knew.

"Who are you to say that?" Sylvianna was angered. She didn't like it when someone was badmouthing his family and that went even for Han Li, "Do you think that you are invincible just because I'm not making any move despite of your words?"

"No, I'm just thinking that you will be smart enough not to so. Or else, you will waste your efforts." Jin Rou smirked, "Remember, you are greatly weakened. I don't even need to use my treasures to kill you right now."

Sylvianna clicked her tongue. She knew the other party wasn't bluffing. Although she might be a great help for his conquest to challenge the heavens once again, he could go by without her. In other words, she wasn't necessary. She was a mere convenience if something happened.

"I will kill you when I have the chance." Nevertheless, she didn't bother to hide her killing intent. It was so thick that it could suffocate other people.

"It's not your turn." Jin Rou chuckled. With countless people wanting him to die, how could it be the little girl's turn?

Jin Rou bypassed many spaces and voids. It was done naturally to reach a certain place where it was very secretive and hidden. If someone wanted to target this place, they had to calculate its location every 10 seconds as it changed completely everytime.

After numerous twists and turns, he finally reached it. A large valley with many rolling mountains. It was filled with towering buildings with a few farm huts.

The Hidden Majestic Valley was filled with this scene. It was currently limited to its disciples and ancestors. No outsiders were able to enter and they had no right to enter. Anyone who push their luck would be killed on site.

As this was a lineage filled with women, it's obvious that the scent of this place with be filled with it.

Jin Rou walked the place. As a single man, many eyes were focused on him. Their eyes were filled with judgements as if they were looking down on him. Since he was able to enter, he must have a business with the valley.

After walking for a few minutes, a girl walked to him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"None of your business." Jin Rou answered with sharpness.

Hearing this, the girl was displeased, "I'm just asking you why are you here. Can't you be more respectful?"

Jin Rou didn't answer her this time and focused on walking. It had been a while since he had a walk in this valley. It would take time before the upper echelons of the valley to come over so he's taking his time to sightsee.

"This is the Hidden Majestic Valley. Men aren't allowed here!" The girl was getting annoyed by this. She was just asking yet she was answered disrespectfully or ignored. historical

Again, it looked like Jin Rou didn't hear it and focused on walking. The scenery of the valley was top notch, so this actually attracte him. The uniqueness of the valley was standing out despite of its barren location.

"Sis, just let him be." The girl wanted to say something more when her friend stopped her, "I'm sure the elders are already aware of his presence. He will be killed by that time."

The girl calmed down when she heard this. Her friend had a point. There was no need to dirty her hands with his blood as the elders wouldn't led this matter slide. Just think about it, a man entered their location where men weren't allowed entry.

Then, just as her friend predicted. A few elders ran up to the man. However, their expression was quite strange. Upon nearing the man, they all bowed their heads and spoke something which couldn't be heard by anyone.

The man nodded and he was escorted by the elders to somewhere. The disciples who saw this, especially the girl who expected his misery, were flabbergasted. What was going on?

---

The elders take Jin Rou to where Sevendow Dao Monarch was. It was a top secret location that only a few ancestors and elders knew.

"I thank you for visiting us, Your Majesty." Sevendow knelt.

"Speak, what is the current situation of the valley?" Jin Rou asked. Judging by the movements of the disciples, it looked like they weren't aware of what's going on.

The valley had not participated in the contest of monarchy for many generations.

Sevendow took a deep breath and answered, "Your Majesty, the valley is facing a huge crisis with our valley at risk. There are major movements in the Black Tidal Sea."

Jin Rou's attention was caught by this name, "Major movements in the Black Tidal Sea?"

The sea was very near in the vicinity of the valley. Furthermore, it was filled with monsters that shouldn't exist. Old monsters capable of tearing the void, and wreaking havoc in the Nine Heavens. Their progenitor was tasked to maintain the sea, to block anyone coming from that place. For many eras and generations, the valley had suppressed them. Unfortunately, it was the extent of their ability.

"The suppression of the valley is no longer effective." Jin Rou turned serious. He, of course, knew the depths of the Black Tidal Sea. After all, he was the one who asked their progenitor to keep this sea at bay.

This matter was of grave importance.

It was quiet for so many years, yet it's acting up right now.. If they really could go out from the sea, then not speaking the valley, the world would end up in utter chaos.
