"Just like I said, replace the blood crystals." Jin Rou said, "Your ancestor cannot hold on unless blood crystals surround him. That's what keeps him alive. With the depletion of the crystals, it's necessary to change them."

Ancestor Minru was already too old. He was one of the commanders under the banner of Grand Mysterious during their era. He helped the sovereign sweep the Thousand Realms for many generations.

If the sect wanted to save the ancestor's life, they had to pay the price for it. Of course, the other elders would surely be happy to pay as long as the price was right. That is if they had the resources to do so.

"But the sect no longer has the money to buy them..." Little Chor said with a pale expression. The price of blood crystals was too high for the current situation of the sect to afford.

As many ancestors were dying, the demand for bloody crystals was high to the point that the price skyrocketed by several times. In this times, only those supreme lineages could afford this.

"Then it can't be helped. This is your sect's issue and you have to solve this own your own." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulder. He didn't want the sect to rely on him because he was willing to help once.

Little Chor wanted to say something but was interrupted by a voice, "Disciple, please leave for a moment."

It came from the ancestor. He was now awake. Despite being so weak, his eyes shined like the brilliant galaxies and stars above.

Little Chor was confused as to why he was asked to leave but he didn't ask. He just bowed his head and left the chamber.

Jin Rou looked at the ancestor and sighed, "You have grown too old for this world, Minru." historical

"Indeed, Your Majesty. Despite my age, I still keep on thriving to stay alive for the sake of the future of the sect." Ancestor Minru said. Who would have thought that this very strong ancient paragon was almost on his deathbed now?

"Let them fend off for themselves. You cannot protect them forever. You aren't an immortal sovereign who could control lifespan." Jin Rou said with a low tone, "You have to let it go. You have done enough."

Han Li had a favorable connection with both Grand Mysterious and Ancestor Minru. That's why Jin Rou wanted the ancestor to lay rest in peace now as he already suffered for too long for the sake of this declined sect.

"Your Majesty, you must already know that Sky Immortal Sect is eyeing us. Once I'm gone, they're sure to move and devour our sect. It's not something I can take. The Li Mysterious Sect had been established because of you and Master. So please forgive me for not being able to rest in peace." Ancestor Minru smiled weakly. The erosion of time had severely affected his body that it's making him move with difficulty.

He paused for a moment and said, "Besides, Your Majesty's presence here makes me be filled with energy once again. I guess I can stay alive for the next two generations."

Jin Rou bit his lower lip. Just imagine the suffering of staying alive despite being so old now. He took a deep breath and said, "Sky Immortal Sect? Just an ant. I'll destroy them to tie one knot."

"You don't need to dirty your hands with such filthy beings, Your Majesty. I can do the job for you." Ancestor Minru said. It was their problem so they had to solve it.

"Just take it easy, Minru. Will you?" Jin Rou said, "I have no plan in stopping what you want to do. So don't bother stopping me. With their guts, I already know that a fat wolf is supporting them."

Ancestor Minru nodded, "That's right. Although there is no confirmation on their side, I heard that they are heavily supported by Wild Temple Gate as the current heiress of Sky Immortal Sect is betrothed to the prince of Wild Temple."

The Wild Temple Gate was a step away to become a supreme lineage. Although they were yet to be fully recognized as one, their force was already on par with other supreme lineages.

Currently, the Thousand Realms recognized five lineages as supremes. Each of them had the strength to fully pulverize any sect they wanted to disappear.

And as for to become a supreme lineage? One had to have at least three living immortal sovereigns in them. And this was what halting the Wild Gate Temple to be recognized as one of the supreme lineages.

With their last sovereign missing in action, it's still impossible for them to be the sixth supreme.

"Wild Temple Gate. I have thought that they learned their lesson already." Jin Rou sneered, "It seems that they are very much at ease since I have not appeared in this world for many eras."

He paused for a moment and said, "I'll be going out. You stay relaxed there and don't move unnecessarily or else I'm going to send you to the yellow river myself."

Ancestor Minru laughed weakly and nodded. Now that the strongest beast was about to make a move, he couldn't help but feel a bit pity for the Sky Immortal Sect and Wild Temple Gate.

With the Primordial here, the path would be filled with blood and bones once again.

Jin Rou bypassed several voids with ease. Despite the extreme difficulty of this feat, Jin Rou made it appear like he was having the easiest way to his life.

After several passages, Jin Rou appeared in the Disturbance City. It was one of the cities with the highest economical rate. Of course, this should be the case. After all, the most successful store of all time was situated here, Enchanted.

Enchanted was a mysterious store with a deep origin no one could trace. It was said that the store had been here since the start of time. There were also rumors that the founder of this store was a strong sovereign to boot. Nevertheless, no one confirmed it.

"Afford the price, and everything is yours.." Their long-time adage said.
