"It's in the Heaven's Continent, Oblivion Forest. So we have to cross this successfully." Tiresh Abhold said with a serious expression. She have known this since Drak told her this. That forest had a flower that could cure all types of poisons which was in theory, the poison inside Jin Rou was included. Anyway, it was worth a try so they needed to survive this sea.
"Okay, let's go to that forest." Jin Rou was confident that he could cross this sea. After all, the enemies would surely think twice before attacking them knowing the fact that he managed to kill their dark lord. Furthermore, even if they really dared to appear, Jin Rou could just take care of them with effort albeit it would be exhausting.
Then, days have passed. No darkness attacked the two. It was peaceful and quiet and all you could hear were ocean waves. And finally, they crossed the cursed Uncrossable Sea.
The shore of the other side was so big and contained white and pure sand. If you touch a grain of it, you could feel that it was blessed by the heaven and earth.
"So this is the Heaven's Continent." Tiresh Abhold was amazed. Compared to their continent, this one was a level higher than them.
Jin Rou didn't comment. He had no luxury for a useless conversation. He was busy suppressing the poison in his body.

Tiresh became alert also as she heard this. She immediately readied her defensive formations and escape route in case the other party harbored ill intentions towards them.
"Whoosh!" Afterwards, three people in white robe arrived. With their garments, one could tell that they were priests.
"Greetings, newcomers. First of all, congratulations in successfully crossing the Uncrossable Sea. We are glad that you are safe and sound." The man in the middle smiled and said, "Secondly, I am Kevin of Church. I am pleased to meet you two."
Each one of them was filled with holy aura and light. However, Jin Rou could discern that something was off with their auras. But he didn't mention it and remained quiet.
Tiresh sighed in relief after hearing their introduction. It seemed like they were with the famous Church, one of the leading powerhouses of this continent. They had millions of faithful believers, so not just their power was very strong, even their reputation was too.
"I am Tiresh Abhold. And this is Jin Rou, he currently needs medical support as he is poisoned after fighting the dark existences there in sea." Tiresh said with a tone of urgency.
"Oh? Can I check this gentleman's body to get into more details?" Kevin said with a smile.
Jin Rou looked at Kevin and answered, "I don't mind."
Kevin smiled and clapped his hands, "Great. I'll be helping myself then."
He walked over to Jin Rou and held his pulse. After a few minutes, he said, "This is one hell of a difficult poison to deal with. It is personally concocted by a powerful being of the darkness."
Jin Rou had expected this answer and was about to sneer when Kevin added, "However, it isn't impossible to cure. It's just difficult."
"Possible? How?" Tiresh became delightful. If the Church could cure Jin Rou's poison, they didn't have to go through all the trouble to find the Oblivion Forest and let Jin Rou suffer more.
"Our God's holy aura has all capabilities to everything. Curing difficult poisons is one of them. So you can rest assured that your friend here will be saved." Kevin was smiling. It was creepy smile that could send shivers down on one's spine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't believe that you will do this for free. So what's the catch?" Jin Rou finally spoke and directed the topic to where it was supposed to be.
"Just a small payment will do. You just have to be converted into our belief and join our Church. Then, we will do everything to cure your poison. After all, it will take major efforts to cure you from that." Kevin said without filtering any words.
Jin Rou knew this would come. This people would try to tie them down since they could see potential. After all, the two managed to survive the sea, which was never dared to cross for countless of years. It was a natural course of action that they would try to hog them over.
Tiresh had also came into this the same conclusion and was slightly afraid.
"Then we have to decline your grace and find the cure ourselves." Jin Rou firmly showed his rejection and said, "We don't want to be tied by any powers here, so I hope you understand."
"Are you sure?" Kevin's tone suddenly turned colder, "The poison in your body is fatal enough to kill you in a few days. You think you're going to survive knowing that you don't have a cure for that? I advise you to please think again. Furthermore, if you are part of the Church, you will receive so many benefits that millions of our faithful believers cannot."
His tone was like a warning that Jin Rou shouldn't make any reckless choices or it would harm them.
"Still, it's a no. We can fend off by ourselves, and if I am to die, then it's my fate. I can't do anything about it." Jin Rou started to walk away with Tiresh. He wasn't giving the other party face.
Kevin's veins bulged out after hearing Jin Rou. That man was blatantly disrespecting him! He might have not said it, but he was a high priest that commanded respect in the Church and the masses. Yet, this man dared to reject his grace? Preposterous!
He wanted to make a move and stop the two from getting away. However, so many eyes were watching them right now so their hands were tied. Nevertheless, he imprinted the whole features of the young man in his mind and he would surely use everything to hunt this man down to pay back what happened today.
