It was a hard pill to swallow. So the queen couldn't believe it at first. But eventually, she had no choice but to. After all, a universal law had personally confirmed it himself. The law's credibility was above everything else and no one should doubt it.

"I don't know how did you offend such an existence, knowing how cautious you are." After a distant silence between the two of them, the law spoke again, "You have a bright future ahead of you. You had the chance to have 13 crowns."

"But now, I lost it." The queen smiled wryly, "That chance was lost when the Elementus have been taken away by that man."

"It is clear that he has taken that item in order to stop you from advancing. It is like he is cutting you the hope of getting at the top." The law knew that at Jin Rou's power level, he wouldn't need that item or even the princess beside her. Yet, he insisted on getting the item. What did it mean? It was clear that he did on purpose.

It was another silence between them. The queen didn't speak for a few minutes before finally doing so, "Is there no other way other than that?"

She was filled with despair right now. She felt like if she couldn't advance, she would just remain weak for the rest of her life. And as a proud being, how could she take that? She would rather die than to see herself being wallowed by despair.

"If you can take back the item from him, that is a way." The law answered.

"As if I can take that rock back from him. Unless he is willing to give it to me, there is no chance." She shook her head in response. It was a hopeless method in her mind.

"Then, how about you beg him?" The law smiled and said, "Kneel and kowtow in front of him and ask for forgiveness. And eventually ask for the item. Give your reason why does he need to do so and voila. It might work."

The queen's body shook as she heard this suggestion. While it sounded plausible, it was pride-breaking and was still filled with despair. Not to mention, she didn't know if it will work or not.

"It will be worth the try." The law smiled, "I know you are hesitating but I have no other ways to offer you as of now. You see, my hands are tied here also and you can only rely on yourself of how to get that item back. Of course, not by force or offending him again. As I have said, even if you seek help from you master, it will be useless and in fact, you will just lead her to death."

The queen's master was a sage that was respected by everyone. However, she remained reclusive and didn't usually show in the public eye as she was busy cultivating the dao. Her master wanted to be a 13-crowned and have the chance to prove her dao law and become a law at the universal level!

That's why, no matter what. She wouldn't put her master's life into risk. The queen knew that her master would help her willingly even if she didn't ask for it.

"Ziyan, you can think about it. You don't need to rush. That man is still here and will be here for several hours so think carefully." The youth laid down on his beach chair and relaxed, "I will help you get to him if you decided to push through. So you don't have to worry about anything."

"Crack!" Jin Rou had snapped a neck of a monster. Then, blood oozed like a fountain as the whole place was painted with more black blood, "All ants."

The moment Jin Rou stepped into Raisla, he was greeted by monsters with different and hideous faces. There were bears, earth dragons, and many more powerful monsters of this world. Furthermore, there was a tad difference between the monsters of this universe and theirs. The monsters here were quite more powerful and had a more solid foundation in dao!

It was general knowledge that even monsters could cultivate. Thus it wasn't surprising to have powerful monsters that could contend against humans.

But of course, in front of Jin Rou's omnipotence, everything here was just an ant waiting to be crushed.

The princess gasped in amazement and horror. This type of monsters were hard to deal with if it's her yet Jin Rou was playing them by the neck which amazed her even more! The bloodbath that had happened was like an art when Jin Rou did the slaughter.

"Is there anything stronger than than this bunch?" Jin Rou thought that he could finally do a stretching yet these monsters were useless enough not to last more than two moves from him.

"You are just too powerful, thus no one can contend against you." The princess sighed. This man wasn't aware of how strong he was or he was just faking it to look dumb?

Next, they walked several steps before a voice coming in their ears, "It has been a while since Raisla became so lively."

Jin Rou looked at where the voice came from. And there it appeared an old woman with dignified and scholarly aura. With her short white hair, and white ice robe, she had the same aura as the Ice Queen as if they were relatives.

She walked elegantly in the air as ice lotuses appeared before she take her weight into a step.

The princess knew this old woman was familiar yet she couldn't put it into words. But she knew this woman, it was not just coming out.

"I am called Xuyi. And you are?" The old woman introduced herself and asked for Jin Rou's.

"Jin Rou." Plainly as it was, Jin Rou answered.

"So it is Young Master Jin. It is a pleasure to meet someone of your level." The old woman smiled, "I know you are strong enough to contend against the heaven, so might as well invite you out to discuss about the dao?"
