"You want to make your move?" Jin Rou smiled and provoked Treemountain, "Come. Let's see how much you have learned from your matriarch."

Treemountain used all his power to restrain himself. He couldn't act here or the consequences would be grave. He was very aware how powerful these mortals in the plate. He etched Jin Rou's face in his mind and said, "I will remember you, young man."

Jin Rou ignored him and Treemountain Ancestor left. Just like that, the reputation of Abyss Scion of Three Elves Race was destroyed and the race was affected of this as well.

"Treemountain is smart. He knows how to control his fiery temper now." The mortal old man took a long sigh, "I remembered that he is more arrogant and worse than Abyss Scion."

"People change in due time." Jin Rou picked up a stone and said, "People themselves won't even notice they are starting to change."

Change was a constant thing. It would always happen over and over again in an endless loop. No one could stop it, not even time itself.

Treemountain Ancestor used to be an arrogant youth and always made trouble, but he knew how to solve things. He wasn't the type also who would renege on a bet because he lost.

"It's not like he brought his real body here, though." The mortal old man smiled, "With his cautiousness, he won't bring his real body to danger."

Treemountain Ancestor's power level was already high that it could trigger tribulation despite not being an Era Emperor. The Western Emperor Region was known to be the home of emperors but it restricted some high-leveled emperors in appearing. It was contrasting itself a bit, but all in all, the strongest emperors were residing here or have gone to ascend.historical

"Because he cannot risk exposing his body only to attract the tribulation." Jin Rou shook his head. No one would be willing to attract it as it meant sure death. Not even 12-Words Era Emperor could survive it. After all, the strength of the tribulation depended on how strong the target was.

"No one is capable of withstanding the heavens." The mortal old man spoke heavily, "Even Dragon's Plate had to suffer in the past because we are exposed."

"The Pandemonium Incident." Jin Rou uttered three simple words but it already made the old man surprised.

"You know it?" The old man was stumped.

The Pandemonium Incident was the sudden appearance of foreign living things which caused chaos and wreak havoc in Mortalis. It happened a very long time ago, so only those lineages who had survived that incident had some records of it.

Because of this, the heavens sent many tribulations to the world to reduce casualties during the war. Since the tribulations appeared at random, many were affected including the Dragon's Plate.

Although the situation was resolved after many years of battle, it was still one of the worst and darkest eras of the world.

"Dragon Emperors." Jin Rou responded with two words but the mortal old man immediately answered it.

"So they are real..." The mortal old man pondered with a heavy expression. This topic could cause chaos in the entire world, so he needed to lower his voice down.

In the distant past, rumors had circulated that the Pandemonium Incident was caused by Dragon Emperors. They were as strong or stronger than 12-Words Era Emperors. They were dragons who had the ability to morph into a humanized form. But it remained as a rumor, and nothing else. Until now, no one confirmed it except Jin Rou.

"This is not the right place and time to talk about that." Jin Rou shook his head, "Your plate is already powerful. Even if they are still existing right now, it will be difficult to destroy it."

The Dragon's Plate was like an extended and upgraded version of ancestral grounds. With their roots and foundation deeply buried here, not even the mythical Dragon Emperors had the ability to put them into destruction.

Remember, the name of the plate itself had 'Dragon' in it.

"I'm just curious, Visitor." The mortal old man felt he wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't ask this, "If they existed, is there a possibility that they are still alive right now? Please, I just want to know..."

Jin Rou sighed after hearing this. In all honesty, this could bring tribulation to the plate if he answered this with full details, "They are existences that have the ability to kill 12-Words Era Emperors."

Hearing the answer, the mortal old man immediately understood what Jin Rou was trying to say. He bowed and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Great Visitor. As my thanks, how about I give you a free pass to Dragon Sky?"

The mortal old man wasn't dumb not to understand why Jin Rou answered that way. Knowing too much could make the tribulation fall upon them. And though they wouldn't be destroyed in one swing, the tribulations wouldn't stop unless the plate was destroyed.

His feelings of gratitude was flowing that he decided to give Jin Rou a free pass to one of the most expensive destinations of their plate, the Dragon Sky.

It was a connected realm from them and one of them three paid destinations of the plate. Since they were mortals, the payment method was a bit strange as they only accept herbs of good quality instead of gold.

The Dragon's Sky entrance pass cost around 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 herbs depending on the quality. Gathering this amount was no joke. Just think about it, a million of quality herbs? Not to mention, they needed to store it in a warm storage space.

While the quality herbs weren't that expensive, the storage ring needed was. Thus, not all powerhouses had the capability to enter Dragon Sky.

And Jin Rou was given a free pass there, which was heard by many people there.

"Isn't that old man biased at him?" One cultivator was jealous, "Why grant him a free pass when he didn't do anything?"

"He did something. Remember, he understood that symbols fully?" Another one answered.
