"Boom!" Just right after Jin Rou entered the stone tower, Graystey got back on his feet with the bricks falling down.
His face was dark and emitting a dangerous aura which made his subordinates tremble in fear.
Their young master was mad. Totally mad. If not for the last string that was holding his sanity, he might have exploded and killed someone.
"..." Graystey didn't say anything, just looking at the stone tower filled with hatred. He was feeling wronged and angry. Though the other party didn't injure him, with the clash of auras did everything was decided.
The gap was wide. Too wide that he already estimated it as unfathomable. Thus, it meant that he was thinking that Jin Rou was at least a Heavenly Saint. After all, even Imperial Sovereigns won't take him down just by using aura!
A Heavenly Saint at such a young age? That made his intestines turn green. How enviable! He was already 30 right now yet he thought that he was already a genius worthy of praise. But when he saw Jin Rou, he instantly felt like an ant.
After all, what are Heavenly Saints? They were the second cultivation realm of the Godhood path! Take note, the Godhood cultivators were stronger than Imperial cultivators in terms of raw power. Though the gap could be lessen by using heaven-defying treasures, the fact remained that heavenly beings were stronger than them.
That's why he was feeling mad and bitter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJin Rou was like a huge boulder that he thought he couldn't move.
However, these feelings were the main fuel why he wanted to be stronger! Since the other party was stronger than him, he, of course, wouldn't confront Jin Rou head on unless he was stupid. After all, the victor was already determined.
After contemplating for a moment, Graystey Von Clay decided to turn his back against the stone tower his master had personally recommended and said to his subordinates, "What happened here, must only remain here."
In fact, this message wasn't just for his subordinates. Too bad, one of the quick-witted subordinates had already asked for assistance in their constellation, and probably, they were already on their way now.
After all, one of the Royal Nobles was treated this way. The Von Clay Constellation wouldn't be happy with this and swallow that humiliation!
After Graystey giving his message, he decided to enter a stone tower that was nearest to the tower Jin Rou had entered. Following which, the two subordinates chased after him.

The stone towers were the main attraction of the Palace Of Stones. Because aside from the grand and soft vibe it was giving, it was also a training ground for the disciples who are Heavenly Saint and Imperial Sovereigns below.
The stone towers were very mysterious as it could make someone, who was less talented, to make a breakthrough here.
In fact, one of Ethereal Forestking's disciples had made a breakthrough here from Divine Monarch to Heavenly Saint!
Just imagine, it would take hundreds of thousands of years before making a breakthrough from Grand Monarch and enter the Heavenly Saint. But here in the stone towers, everything could be possible! And what's more enticing about this, was that it was open for all!
That's right. Everyone can enter without payment or anything. As long as you were able to come here, then all you have to do was give your everything when choosing a stone tower. After all, each person has only one try. Whether you get lucky or unfortunate would be up to how good you are in choosing towers. Of course, there were also people who were selling confidential information about the towers but who knows if they're legitimate or not?
In the stone tower Jin Rou and Owner Bu had entered, there were a lot of rune symbols along the walkway and walls. These symbols were lighting red, yellow, and blue.
If one would take a serious look about it, it seemed that they were encrypted with messages towards a greater dao, but Jin Rou knew it wasn't.
Maybe the other towers weren't like this, but this tower was.
"These rune symbols are bait." Jin Rou muttered to himself and looked at Owner Bu, "Owner Bu, don't let the rune symbols make you have an epiphany to breakthrough."
"..." Owner Bu was speechless with how serious Jin Rou was. Nonetheless, he still nodded his head in affirmation. He might not know what's the exact reason but he trusted Jin Rou wholeheartedly.
And judging by how serious Jin Rou's face was, there might be something grave going on here.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe stairs was long. So long that even after walking for an hour, they hadn't reach their destination yet. However, this was normal. After all, all of the stone towers had this mysterious phenomenon called 'infinite spiral'. It meant that this spiral stairs had no ending. Even Heavenly Saints who have visited this place were no exceptions. However, you can breakthrough by studying the inscribed rune symbols on the wall.
The more they ascend the infinite spiral, the more the feeling was getting uncomfortable.
"What the hell..." Owner Bu suddenly felt a cold chill creeping on his skin.
After which, Jin Rou had stopped and said seriously, "I know you are here. Come out."
Soon, what happened made Owner Bu extremely terrified.
"Hihihihi— Hahahahaha!" A hideous devil laughter echoed. This laughter could make even Heavenly Saints tremble in fear. The laughter was insidious enough to make everyone cower in fear.
Soon, the surroundings had changed. It was a different space as everything was a complete black background.
After a while, a black gaseous flames emerged in their views, it soon resembled a human figure, however, there are two arc-like horns on his head.
His eyes were red. It had no nose or mouth.
And the look of it was actually very very creepy. What's more, it was a being possessing a power that Owner Bu couldn't gauge.
"Kikikikiki." The gaseous figure laughed once again and said, "Oh my, oh my. To think that the one very first visitor of my humble abode will be a big big shot."
It giggled and looked at Jin Rou, "Right? Your Highness, Jin Rou."
