The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Charade?" Fli's voice echoed as she spoke with a tone filled with anger, "We are sacrificing ourselves to get our freedom that is supposed to be ours from the start. And you're thinking that's just a little charade?"

It was basically a grave insult for the ancestors who pursued nothing but freedom for all cultivators to mock their objective. They knew themselves that it was suicidal to fight against the overlord family, but who would voice out if not them?

The heavens shouldn't restrict them from cultivating, that was what they truly believed. They believed that everyone should have an equal chance to seek for the last peak and achieve it.

"You want more power, because you feel unfair that there are some who could look down on you." Jin Rou calmly stated, "This freedom you're talking about could lead to chaos, do you know that?"

The river ancestors were startled when they heard this.

Jin Rou paused for a moment before continuing, "If the celestial family were to let you guys take the last realm, there would be a chaos that would ensue. After all, they would try to oust the family to become the next ruler of this universe. The celestial family restricts everyone from taking this realm because they need to have the universe in control, to maintain the balance and universal peace. Have you ever thought of the calamity it would give this universe if thousands of zeniths appeared out of nowhere?"

The river ancestors pondered what Jin Rou said. Indeed, if there would be many zenith gods appearing, an inevitable bloody battle between the top beings would surely come. Many would die, along with powerful beings who had lived for a long time. All for the sake of power and authority. After all, only one could be the overlord of this world.

"But it is still unfair." In the end, Fli remained standing with her belief, "The world is already a world of a jungle where the strongest fist has the final say, having a bloody battle for the throne is common and normal."

"Your worldview is too small." Jin Rou shook his head and said, "You all are just thinking about your desires to be fulfilled. You aren't all thinking for the people."

Because if they did, the river ancestors wouldn't keep on rambling about their right to become stronger. They were just using the people and freedom as their gateway to justify their deeds. Furthermore, if they succeed, they would surely become the heroes of the world and become immortalized for the next hundreds of generations. And who would benefit the most in this ambition?

Them. Just them and a selected few. Wasn't it still unfair? In the first place, there was no thing such an equality existing in this world. There were strong and weak, that's the balance of the jungle. The predators needed prey to live and preys existed for that sole purpose. Just this balance was already unfair.

"You have no right to criticize us." Shu was the one who spoke, "We all are cultivators and we have different beliefs and ambitions."

"That's true." Jin Rou revealed a spear made of lightning and said, "We won't get anywhere because things have escalated this far. We need to end this."

The spear was much bigger and more intimidating compared to the one he used when he killed Gli. It was like a titan pencil-shape with a very sharp tip. The spear was like it could tear the world in pieces and torn the sky helpless.

"Stabilize!" Fli channeled all her qi to the cauldron. Then, she put it in front like a shield. Since this cauldron was believed indestructible, she was confident that they could survive this attack. Afterwards, it would be their turn to attack. She promised herself that she would take this man down, even at the cost of her life.

"Be sure your defense is tough enough to withstand the power of a thousand worlds."Jin Rou smirked and said," Because you have a high chance of dying in this attack."

"Bring it on." Fli geared up and readied herself. In case that it came to worst, she would immediately save Shu and let her get away in this place.

"Alright, then." Jin Rou smiled and gripped the spear tightly, "Here I come!"

"Whoosh!" He threw the spear in an unbelievable speed that light would be ashamed of. The spear broke the dimensions it passed through as time became faster to errode. The weight of the thousand worlds seemed to be carried by the spear with a grand momentum.

"Activate!" The river ancestors activated all their available defensive means to add additional layers of protection.

"Boom!" However, it was still deemed useless as the spear went through the strongest defensive formation Shu created.

"Grug!" Because of this, Shu vomited blood and weakened.

However, the spear didn't stop there.

"Boom!" Next, the cauldron was slowly being pierced by the spear. Although the spear was slowed, it was still creating cracks around the cauldron, slowly but surely.

"Impossible!" Fli was horrified. The cauldron was said to be indestructible because it was created from a true dragon which was refined for millions of years.

"Crack! Crack!" Now, the cauldron's cracks were getting more visible, any time right now and it would break into pieces.

Fli tried to think of any other ways to save the both of them, but there was none. The only choice she had was to personally stop the spear and let her younger sister escape.

"Shu, when I tell you run, you run! Don't hesitate and don't look back. I'll open a dimensional path for you." Fli said with seriousness, "I'll buy you time to escape so do what I'm saying."

"…" Shu knew what her sister was trying to say. She wanted to be against it and stay, but the determination in Fli's eyes stopped her, "Alright."

If things were fallen to worst, as long as Shu was alive, it would be okay. They could just reform the rebellion in the future and stay low for now.
